REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF HIGHWAYS.
The undersigned herewith presents a statement of receipts
and expenditures for the year ending Feb. 1, 1880.
Immediately upon the opening of spring followed one of
the heaviest rainfalls ever known at that season of the year,
doing much damage, which, added to the effects of the great
freshet of tlie preceding December, left the highways through-
out the town in very bad condition. Thorough repairs were
attempted, and, we think, in general, accomplished.
The cost of granite paving, given near the close of the
expenditure account, is for the blocks at the quarries. The
cost of teaming the same to Main street was about 14 per
25
thousand, to which must be added the expense of preparing
for and setthig the same.
The cost of widening and straightening tlie highway in
East Concord village, done by vole of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen, and other expense made necessary thereby,
will exceed considerably the sum given at the close of this
report. About sixty feet of drain, constructed of 12-inch
Akron pipe, with the necessary wells and gratings, together
with land damage, and cost of 300 feet of railing, will make
the entire expense of this work $1,400, or thereabouts.
Nearly 3,000 yards of grade has been used in making the fill
at that point.
The city teams were used during the summer in sprinkling
the streets, which otherwise would have been employed on
the highways. The balance of money subscribed for that
purpose, after paying for the water used, has been paid into
the general treasury of the city. This balance, with sums
collected, and others still due from individuals for one half
cost of edgestone and concrete, and some other items found
in account of receipts, will materially lessen the amount
overdrawn as shown in expenditure account.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SEWERS.
The subjoined table shows the receipts and expenditures
for the past year.
A 15-inch Akron pipe sewer has been laid from a little
south of the intersection of School witli Main street, con-
necting the Main street sewer with the sewer in Depot
square. Its course is through the pass-way between the
Cyrus Hill and Woodward blocks, and along the pass-way
in rear of Phenix Hotel and Smith & Walker's block, —
about 650 feet in length. This sewer was constructed to
relieve the pressure upon the Main street sewer when flooded
by heavy showers, and has tlius far answered that purpose.
In State street, north from Penacook street, 1000 feet
12-inch pipe.
In Church street, west from Bradley street, 250 feet 10-
inch pipe.
In Bradley street, south from Church street, 200 feet 10-
inch pipe.
In Green street, north from School street, 100 feet to the
north line of the high school lot, 8-inch pipe.
In Short street, west 50 feet to centre of Huntington
street, 8-inch pipe, — being an extension of Short street sewer
to Huntington street.

Note. In the accounts of outstanding claims and precinct
indebtedness are included all coupons due and not presented,
and all accrued interest, to Feb. 1, 1880, as well as all other
claims against the city and precinct. From available assets
is allowed -14,500 for estimated abatements : the uncol-
lected taxes are set down in available assets that sum less
than they appear in the collector's warrants. In the report
of 1879, among precinct assets, was erroneously included
$1,192.84, being an unexpended balance on sewer account.
Add that sum to $87,538,16, the reported precinct indebted-
ness above assets in 1879, and we have $88,731.00 as the
actual indebtedness at that date.

EXTENSIONS.
The increasing demand for water on Hall street has been
supplied by laying a four-inch pipe from Turnpike through
Gas street, across the Concord Railroad and land of James
Thompson, to Hall street, a distance of 663 feet ; thence
south on Hall street, 371 feet ; thence, on the same street,
48
222 feet of one-inch pipe to the Count Kumford place. This
pipe is furnished with a brancli for Holt Brothers, and the
Concord Gas-Light Co. for a private hydrant, and a blow-ofl"
near the Concord Railroad.
A four-incli pipe has l>een laid in Depot street, east from
Main, 137 feet.
There has been laid during the year, for distribution pur-
poses, 1171 feet of four inch, 379 feet of one-inch, 260 feet
of three-fourths-inch pipe. Sixty-eight three-fonrths-inch
service pipes have been laid, amounting to 1700 feet, and
one two-inch, amounting to 15 feet.
SUPPLY OF WATER.
The average supply of water in the pond has been larger
than during the previous year. The highest was June 12,
being 182.60 feet, and the lowest December 6, being 177.10
feet.
The water runs over the waste way at 184.75 ; conse-
quently the pond lacked two feet and two inches of being
full June 12.
The height of the water on the first day of each month
during the year 1879 was as follows :
January,
178.90
July,
182.20
February,
178.85
August,
181.10
March,
178.40

Since the construction of the dam the average height of
the water in each year has been as follows :
1873,
1874,
1875,
1876,
175.86

IMPROVEMENTS.
The rough stone-wall on the north side of the Cooledge
lot has been removed, and a neat fence built to supply its
place. Heretofore, if the water had been raised so as to fill
the pond and flow over the waste-way, a part of the highway
on the West Parish road would have been overflowed, and
rendered impassable. The stone taken from the wall has
been used to raise said road, and the balance reserved to
build a passage from the barn to the west field. The road is
now secure at the highest stage of the water.

By the water-rates heretofore established, the burden of
supporting the Water-works has been almost wholly thrown
upon the water consumers. The large amount of property
within the precinct that is so well protected against fire by
the works, has not contributed its just share towards their
maintenance. Therefore the Board have made the following
changes in the rates for the purpose of obviating in a meas-
ure this injustice. It will be seen that these changes con-
sist mainly in reducing the family rates and taxing the prop-
erty in the precinct for the use of the public fire hydrants.

OF THE
COMMITTEE ON THE CITY FARM.
The Joint Standing Committee on the City Farm respect-
fully snbmit the Twenty-seventh Annual Report of receipts
and expenditnres of the farm for tiie vear endinfr February
1, 1880. ■ "^ ^
The inventory of the personal property has been made
with considerable care, and is 1894.28 below the appraisal
of one year ago, the object being to make it approximate ac-
tual values. In the opinion of the committee, the real estate
has been appraised in the past above its present value ; but
the board of aldermen have instructed them to make it as
set down in the inventory. The products of tlie farm have
been fully equal to those of any previous year, and are ample
for the wants of the establishment.
In addition to the expenses of the farm as shown in the
annexed statement, tiiere has been an expenditure of $150
ill relaying the underpinning of the barn, and flagging-stone
for the cellar of the same, making a suitable place for swine,
wliich was much needed. This item is not charged to the
farm. As an off-set to this, the income of the stone quarries
has been paid into the general treasury of the city, amount-
ing to 1146.45.
Two bills, amounting to ItJT.SO, have been presented to
tlie committee for payment, that were contracted in 1877,
and that appear to have been audited and allowed by the
committee for that year, but not paid ; and the superintend-
ent claims tliat there is a balance of salary due him for the
years 1876-7. There are uncollected bills in favor of the
farm for those years, of sufficient amount, probably, to meet
62
these outstanding claims,— which may explain why they
were not settled at that time.
The committee have endeavored to be thorough in their
investigation of the affiiirs of the farm, and believe that tlie
exhibit made in this report represents its actual financial
condition. That it has not met its expenses the past year is
true ; but while the city make the place both an almsliouse
and house of correction, it cannot be operated without ex-
pense, and if the income of tiie farm is not sufficient for the
purpose, tiie deficit must be met from the city treasury.
The committee express their satisfaction with the general
management of the farm, and with the attention and care of
the superintendent and matron for those committed to their

Total amount expended by the city in main-

Total amount expended on city pauper account, 1,756.44
Making a total on pauper account for the year
ending Jan. 31, 1880, of $5,378.13
74
Of the above sum, $562.15 was for medical and surgicai
attendance, 1403,40 being chargeable to the county, and the
remainder, $158.75, to the city.
Number of applications for aid the past year, four huudred
and seventy-one. Entire or partial support has been ren-
dered one hundred and forty-eight families and individuals,
numbering four hundred and thirty-eight persons. Of this
number, one hundred and twelve have a settlement in the
city: the remaining three hundred and twenty-six have a
county settlement only.
It will be noticed that there is a difference of ^338.74 be-
tween tlie sum paid out for paupers, as stated in expenditure
account, and that which appears in this re[)ort, whicli is ac-
counted for as follows : To the sum $338.74, should be added
$120.33 due the city farm for board and clothing on county
account, from which deduct 1245.20 received from the towns
of Weare and Goffstown, and other sources, leaving $213.87 ;
and, as an offset to this amount, we have on hand over fifty
cords of wood.
The duties of overseer of the poor are attended with diffi-
culties, not so much on account of the labor to be performed,
as to know when and where aid should be bestowed.
In discharging these duties, we have endeavoied to make
proper investigation of all applications for relief, and render
such assistance as the circumstances seemed to demand, and
which, in our judgment, we thought just and right.
Respectfully submitted.
J. A. COCHRAN,
Overseer of Poor.
EEPORT or THE CITY PHYSICIAN.
To the City Council:
I have made during the year ending January 31, 1880 —
Visits to the almshouse, 14
Visits to those aided by the overseer of
the poor, 266
Prescriptions to those aided by the over-
seer of the poor, 27
The total number at the almshouse during the year has
been 29 ; average number, 9^. The small average, compared
with the total, was caused by the removal of most of the
county paupers to the county farm early in tlie year. Two
deaths have taken place at the almshouse, — one of an old
man who had been there a number of years, from old age ;
the other of a man placed there during the year, from con-
sumption. On the whole, tlie inmates have been very com-
fortable ; and the same good care and attention which have
been shown them in previous years have continued during
the past year.
It is needless for me to say that those obliged to seek a
home at the public expense are in most cases advanced in
years, and in a great measure unable to do anything more
than to care for their individual wants, and many hardly that.
It is but just and humane, that what is proper for their com-
fort should be rendered them. This, I am sure, has been
done.
76
While my professional visits to the almshouse have been
only fourteen during the year, it has been my custom to make
frequent calls when in that neighborhood, and I have kept
fully acquainted with the condition of all who have been
there.
I have made a few more visits to those aided by the over-
seer of the poor, not at tlie almshouse, than in any previous
year. This does not show tliat any serious epidemic has been
among us ; — but the number of persons aided will, of course,
vary in different years.
It is quite hard to answer all calls made upon me by the
poor and their friends, and at the same time make no more
visits than are actually necessary. The greater part, however,
of those assisted have shown a willingness to make no more
expense than was really needed, and have been very thank-
ful and appreciative of all that has been done for them.
Very respectfully,
GEORGE COOK,M.D.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
To the City Council:
We liave the honor to submit the following report for the
year ending December 31, 1879 :
Only twelve complaints have come to us in regular form.
The nature of them has been similar to those in previous
years. Verbal complaints have been made to each of us ;
and anonymous letters have been received, calling our atten-
tion to certain localities. It has been our custom to give
advice and assistance in any matter that affects the public
health or of private individuals ; but, in order to proceed ac-
cording to law, every complaint should be made in proper
form. Suitable blanks were furnished in all cases, when de-
sired.
The General Statutes and the City Ordinances define, to a
certain extent, the duties of health officers ; but too often we
are left to decide that certain things are really nuisances be-
fore we make the attempt to remove them.
There can be no doubt that swine and cattle, kept in the
compact part of the city, do create a very great nuisance.
We would earnestly recommend that your honorable body
properly restrict this practice by ordinance. We could then
move understandingly, and the responsibility would be placed
where it belongs.
SEWERS.
We have a very complete system of sewers. A large sum
of money has been expended in their construction, and, if
78
properly cared for, they will prove a great blessing. The city
government has wisely placed safeguards about them, defin-
ing the way and manner they are to be dealt with. Having
done this, would it not be well to do more ? We believe our
sewers should be under the supervision of one man, who is
properly versed in tlie management of sewers, and he should
be held responsible for their condition. The subject of prop-
er ventilation of the sewers has been much agitated of late.
We have not learned that any one has suggested a perfect
method of accomplishing this result. We are not able to do
it ; but it seems to us, that if every one who connects a soil-
pipe with any main or branch sewer, did so in the manner
prescribed by law, it would help a great deal, for every such
connection would be a source of ventilation.
VITAL STATISTICS.
The registrar has given full tables of vital statistics. A
careful examination of his report will be very instructive.
The causes of death have been carefully tabulated by us, and
make a very accurate showing of the diseases that have been
among this community the past year. Great credit is due to
the physicians for complying so fully and promptly with the
ordinance relating to this subject.
We would call attention to certain vague terms used in
some certificates of cause of death, such as "Feebleness of
Constitution," " Fits," '^ Internal Tumor," and the like. The
term Marasmus, as in last year's report, is made to include
all those deaths of senile decay, or old age ; and also those
of infants, whose deaths have been caused from mal-assim-
ilation, as it has been used synonymously in the certificates.
Consumption, the scourge of this part of the country, leads
in the table, and should well claim the earnest thought of
every scientific man. Typhoid and intestinal diseases seem
to be on the decrease ; but diphtheria has claimed twenty-one
for its victims. Are these diseases in any manner prevent-
able ? We believe they are.
79
Our death-rate has been large. One death in every sixty
of our population is too great a ratio, occurring in an intel-
ligent community, and in one Nature has done so much for
by way of healthy location.
Total number of deaths among residents, 233. ^
Population, 14,000.
Death-rate per thousand, nearly 17.

REPOUT
OF THE
TRUSTEES OE THE PUBLIC LIBIURY.
To the City Council :
The Trustees of the Public Li])rary present their report for
the year 1879-80, accompanied by reports from the Librarian
and Treasurer covering the same time.
Tlie library now contains 7,617 volumes. Two hundred
and sixty-eight new books have been added during the year,
beside replacing volumes in such constant use as to have be-
come worn out.
The use of the library has been much the same as in the
few last years. About the usual number of persons have
accepted its privileges. Many valuable books are among the
additions, both in the circulating and reference departments.
For details, see the Librarian's report. The Statistical Atlas
of the United States, in the reference library (presented by
Senator Rollins), is a work of rare excellence of its kind.
It is filled with valuable statistical information, and is adorned
with a large number of maps and diagrams, illustrating the
condition of the country and its stores of wealth, beside
an accumulation of information upon a great variety of top-
ics, collated from the census of 1870. This Atlas is worthy
of examination and study Ity the carious, and by the seeker
for such statistical information as it contains, pertaining to
our country.
88
All especial need of our city at the present time is a public
reading-room. The Board of Trustees believe the time has
come when this need should be provided for. Opportunity
now offers whereby this scheme can l)e accomplished by a
small annual outlay of money on the part of the city. A
room adjoining the library can now be secured for the above-
mentioned purpose ; and such a convenience and need can
be sustained under the same management as the library.
Provision should early be made to meet this want of our
city, if no reasonable objection be found. Books, magazines,
reviews, etc., can easily be supplied from the library to meet
tlie demands for its maintenance. In this way the library
can be utilized to such extent as seems necessary fortius en-
terprise. This proposition being now before the city author-
ities for consideration, nothing further need be said upon
the subject here, except that the Board earnestly desire that
this proj)Osal shall become an accomplished fact at an early
day.
The Board continue to solicit donations of books for the
library from its friends, for the benefit of all concerned.
Respectfully submitted.

REPORT
CITY SOLICITOR.
To the City Council :
Since my last report, the suit of Harlan P. Gage and wife
V. Concord has been settled by the city paying the plaintiffs
the sum of -$150, in full satisfaction of all claim they or eith-
er of them had for all damage and costs.
At the April term, 1879, the suit of Jolni F. Edgerly and
wife V. Concord was tried by a jury, and resulted in a verdict
for the plaintiffs in the sum of ^6,125. Exceptions were
taken, and the case was transferred to the Law Term of the
Supreme Court. At tiiat term the court ordered the verdict
set aside, on the ground that the declaration in the writ was
not supported by the evidence, and that a nonsuit should
have been ordered at the trial term. At the October term,
1879, the plaintiffs obtained leave to file an additional count
to their writ, setting forth that tiie city was liable on ac-
count of the negligence of its officers. This leave was ob-
tained upon terms that the plaintifis should pay all costs ac-
crued to the time of filing the new count. The original dec-
laration alleged that the city was liable on account of an in-
sufficient highway, and the new count alleges liability on ac-
count of the carelessness of city officials in using one of the
city hydrants. Exceptions were taken to the allowance of
94
the amendment, and to the sufficiency of t§ie new count.
The case was transferred to the Law Term, where it is now
pending. The writ in tliis action is dated August 30, 1876.
The suit of George W. Wadleigh v. Concord was com-
menced August 24, 1878. Tlie plaintiff claims $1,000 dam-
ages for injuries done to a building owned by him in Fisher-
ville, on the 18th day of June, 1875, by certain persons un-
lawfully, riotously, and turaultuously assembled together.
The case has not been reached in court, but is ready for trial
at any time.
On the 22d day of February, 1879, the First National Bank
of Concord and the National State Capital Bank filed their
several petitions in court, praying for the abatement of taxes
assessed upon them respectively upon " money on hand at
interest or on deposit," the same being upon their surplus
funds, alleging that the assessment was " unjust, unauthor-
ized, and illegal." In the case of each bank the tax thus as-
sessed amounted to i732.
These petitions were entered in court at the April terra,
1879, and trials were had before the court. Tlie questions
arising were transferred to the Law Term in June, and were
subsequently decided in favor of the city, the court holding
that the assessment of such taxes was just and legal.
At the April term, 1879, Thomas McGrath, of Manches-
ter, filed his petition under the statute, alleging that, on the
13th day of January, 1879, he fell on the sidewalk in front
of the store of Albert W. Gale, on Main street, and received
severe injuries; that the sidewalk was icy, unsafe, and dan-
gerous, through neglect of the city; and that the accident oc-
curred on account of this condition of the walk. He claims
that he was damnified to the amount of $300, and that he
was prevented from filing his claim at the time, as by law
required, on account of the serious nature of his injury, by
reason of his absence from the city, and for other reasons,
and prays that he may have leave to file his claim for dam-.
ages with the city clerk.
95
Subsequently, McGrath asked leave to amend his petition
by claiming his damages at $1,000 instead of $300. The
petition with the proposed amendment has been referred to
Hon. W. H. H. Allen, associate justice of the Supreme
Court, and it is now pending before him.
The suits of Edgerly and Wadleigh i\ Concord, and the
petition of McGrath, are the only suits in court where the
city is a party.

CHIEF ENGINEER'S REPORT.
To the Board of Aldermen :
111 accordance with the provisions of tlie ordinance relating
to the Fire Department, passed March, 1878, I herewith pre-
sent my annual report for the year ending January 31, 1880.
In the report will be found a statement of the number of
fires, together with the losses and amount of insurance on
the same, as nearly as could be ascertained.
The year has been comparatively free from fires, the de-
partment having been called out but eleven times, and the
losses aggregating less than $20,000, the losses in nearly
every case being fully covered by insurance.
Tiie machinery of the department has been kept in good
condition. Five hundred feet of hose has been added to the
equipment at Fislierville, and one hundred and fifty feet at
East Concord, to replace hose that had become worthless
from age and long use.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the Mayor and the Commit-
tee on Fire Department, for their support in all measures
tending to promote the efficiency of the department ; also
to the Board of Engineers, the officers, and the members
of the entire force, my thanks are due for their prompt and
willing support at all times.
JAMES N. LAUDER,
Chief Engineer.

OF THE
COJ^COlll) PRECINCT PIRE DEPARTMENT,
ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF ENGINEERS, JANUARY, 1874.
Article 1. Any engine or hose company, running out a
line of hose from a liydrant or steamer, shall be entitled to
the pipe, altlioiigh the hose of other companies may be at-
taclied in order to reach tlic lire ; and any company coming
to a fire, and finding an incomplete line of hose laid out fi'om
a hydrant or steamer, sliall attach to and lengthen out such
line, in lieu of laying a line of its own.
Art. 2. When two or more engine or hose companies are
playing in a continuous line, the pipe shall l)elong to tiie
company attaching to the hydrant or steamer, as provided in
the foregoing article ; but any company furnishing the entire
line, and receiving water from a steamer, the pipe shall be-
long to such company so receiving.
Art. 3. Each engine and hose company shall have equal
claim to tlie hydrants ; but it is enjoined upon the engine
companies to diauglit their own water from a reservoir,
wherever a suitable one can be found within a reasonable
distance.
Art. 4. No company shall take possession of a hydrant or
reservoir, unless their hose and apparatus for attaching to
the same are at hand and ready for use. The company
which shall be thus ready shall be entitled to such hydrant
or reservoir ; but, upon tiie order of an engineer, another
121
company may attach a second line of hose from such hydrant
or steamer, in case the same may be necessary, — such com-
pany having first laid its hose, and being ready to attach the
same.
Art. 5. In proceeding to, working at, or i-eturning from
fires, noisy demonstrations are strictly prohibited, and it is
required of officers of companies to maintain perfect order
and decorum in their respective commands during all such
service.
Art. 6. No company, while returning from a fire, will be
allowed to proceed faster than a walk, and at all times to
keep on the right of the street. Drivers are strictly enjoined,
in proceeding to a fire, to use the utmost care and caution
consistent with promptness. Racing between companies is
forbidden, under any circumstances. Any collision or cas-
ualty occurring to horses or apparatus will be considered a
sufficient cause for the suspension of the driver in charge at
the time.
Art. 7. The bells will at first ring a general fire alarm ;
and, when the locality of the fire is known, the number of the
ward Avill be struck, and repeated for the space of at least
ten minutes.
Art. 8. No member of any company shall leave the city
without first informing his foreman ; no foreman or assistant
engineer, without first notifying the chief engineer, — in each
case the party so leaving providing a substitute.
Art. 9. In case of fire, the foreman first arriving shall be
in command until the arrival of an engineer.
Art. 10. Any order issued by the chief, or an assistant en-
gineer, shall be promptly obeyed.
WATEEIISTG THE STEEETS.
The following account of the receipts and expenditures for
watering the streets, for the season of 1879, is inserted in
this report for the information of those who are interested.
The sum collected is larger than in former years, as a larger
territory was watered, making it necessary to employ two
teams instead of one, as heretofore.
