REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
To the City Council :
The receipts aud expenditures on account of tiie Water-Works
during the past fiscal year, appear in the foregoing report of the
superintendent.
The receipts exceed those of the previous year by the sum of
§4, 393. 80.
This excess is accounted for as follows :
Eeceived for use of hydrants in excess
of what was received the previous year, $1,420.00
Received for water upon the extension
to Millville, 304.50
Received for water upon the extension
to Penacook, ..... 1,007.94
Nearly all the balance has resulted from
an increased consumption in the com-
pact part of the city, .... 1,001.36
$4,393.80
Although ten miles of main aud distribution pipes, and nearly
two hundred service pipes, have been added to the works within
the past two years, and the number of families which patronize
the works has increased from 2,304 to 2,675, the expenses of
management and repairs have increased but sliglitly. The in-
crease over the preceding year is S285.42, and over the average
of the five preceding years, $352.39. These expenses certainly
have not increased in proportion to the increase of the works
and the number of persons whom they serve.
The smallness of the expenses for repairs attests to the thor-
oughness with which the works were originally constructed, and
the good character of the pipe aud other appliances in use.
WATER DEPARTMENT. 107
Only eleven leaks have occurred during the year. These were
all in the distribution pipes except one, which was on the 14-in.
main in High street, in West Concord village. Considering the
fact that we have forty-two miles of pipe, and that the works
have been in use sixteen years, we regard this as a very small
number of leaks. Leaks will occur, whatever kind of pipe is
used.
There is no present necessit}^ for further extensions of any
considerable magnitude. Slight changes and extensions will be
required from year to 3'ear, to perfect the works. We see no
reason why the ordinary income will not be sufficient to pay for
these additions, and also pay the temporary indebtedness now
outstanding, growing out of the recent extensions. This indebt-
edness amounts to the sum of $7,000, and is represented by the
notes of the city. The permanent indebtedness of the city was
increased $40,000 by the extensions to Millville and Penacook
and the incidents thereto, and it is I'epresented by bonds of the
city bearing 4 per cent, interest, and maturing in the years 1896,
'7, '8, and '9.
It affords us pleasure to bear witness to the faithful, intelli-
gent, prompt, and efficient manner in which the superintendent
performs the duties assigned to him. We also tender our
acknowledgments to the city council for the confidence that
has been imposed in us, and the cordial cooperation and aid we
have had from them in all the official duties we have been re-
quired to perform. Without this confidence, cooperation, and
aid, the Water- Works could not have been brought to their pres-
ent state of usefulness.

KEPOET OF THE C0MMISSI0:N^ER OF
HIGHWAYS.
To the City Council:
The Commissiouer of Highways herewith submits his annual
report, covering the year 1888, from January 1st to December
31st.
The receipts and disbursements are as follows :
Receipts $26,876.16
Expenditures, 28,284.06
Expenditures in excess of receipts, , . . $1,407.90
It will be seen that the total amount expended during the
year aggregates $28,284.06, an increase over last year of
$7,085.29.
This is an apparent increase above the ordinary requirements
of the department of a very considerable sum, which, without
explanation, would indicate an enlargement beyond the natural
increase of a single year, though the amount overdrawn is less
by nearly $300 than was turned back into the treasury from the
appropriation of last year.
An examination of the account in detail will show that a
large part of this sum arises from extraordinary circumstances,
the increase being practically distributed in the accounts, some-
what as follows :
The sum of $2,146.37 was expended in building the massive
stone wall and culvert near the entrance to Blossom Hill Ceme-
tery, and was rendered imperatively necessary by the change of
STREET DEPARTMENT. 115
location in the higliway at tliat point. The expense, of course,
is no larger than if a separate appropriation had been made for
that purpose, but it was deemed best to have the work proceed
under the direction of the commissioner, and the items included
in his account, though it will readily be understood that it is
outside of the purpose of the general appropriation.
The amount expended for the construction of new sidewalks
shows an increase of $1,153.48, which is largely accounted for
by the necessity of concreting, in a single season, the sidewalks
of the entire square occupied by the government building.
Another very considerable increase is in the item of " Winter
Expense," which shows a total expenditure in the " Central
District" alone of nearly $1,400.00 more than in the previous
year. The additional expense caused in the outside districts,
owing to the severity of the storms of January and March,
1888, will account for all the increase beyond the ordinary re-
quirements of growth. The items in detail, which vary from
the preceding year, can be seen by comparison, as the system
of subdivisions has been continued as heretofore. The only
changes of moment in this regard consist in the merging of
what has heretofore been known as " East Sewall's Falls Dis-
trict " with the "North Concord District," and the detailed ex-
penditures are given under the heading of the latter district ;
and a similar consolidation has been made of the " Borough
District" with the "• Penacook District."
Both of these changes were brought about by circumstances
which seemed to render such consolidations desirable, though
they need not be considered as permanent if it should be here-
after thought proper to divide them as before.
The expenses of the "Central District" have been subdivided
under the same headings as last year, the expense attending the
building of the bank wall above referred to only being added.
The expenditures for "Bridges and Culverts" amount to
$547.33, and include all the repairs which could properly be
chargeable to the bridges and culverts in the " Central District,"
and also the lighting of Free bridge and the Lower bridge. In
this connection it seems proper that I should call your attention
to the necessity of providing a new bridge to replace the Free
bridge, which cannot longer be repaired with economy.
116 CITY OF CONCORD.
Although there seems to be no question of its present safety,
yet the i)assage of years is beginning to show its effect, P2ach
year shows a slight settling of the structure upon its bearings,
necessitating constant watchfulness to provide for the replacing
of old timber with new, at the least sign of weakness. The
erection of a new bridge, whether of wood or iron, would re-
quire a considerable time, and it would undoubtedly be a wise
foresight to place the matter in charge of a committee at once,
in order that if action is decided upon for the present season
such appropriation as may be necessary can be provided. In
the outside districts, such repairs as have seemed to be needed
have been made in different sections, the expenses of the same
being included in the amounts given under the headings of the
several districts. The largest amounts expended for this pur-
pose have been in the Horse Hill district, the North Concord
district, and the Penacook Intervale district, where considera-
ble sums were required. The Horse Hill bridge is an open
bridge, and consequently decays more rapidh' than if it were
possible to protect it from the alternations of wet and drouth.
The ends of the chords were so badly affected that they required
to be entirely replaced by new timber, as did also the wall
plates, and much of the planking. Even now its condition is
not such that it can be expected to remain secure for a long
period, and considerable repairs in other parts of the bridge
will be needed in the near future. In the Penacook Intervale
district the bridge had become so impaired by age and decay
that it was deemed best to rebuild the entire structure. Owing
to the scarcity of stone in that section, the abutments, as well
as the bridge itself, were made entirely of chestnut lumber,
and the result proves very satisfactory. It is now a substantial
and well built bridge, and may be considered sufficient for the
requirements of that locality for many years toTcome.
The bridge in the North Concord district, near Farnum's
mill, was also thoroughly repaired early in the season, its con-
dition demanding almost the entire rebuilding of the same. This
is now, as well as most of the bridges in the outside'districts, in
excellent condition, and no large expenditure will probably be
required upon them during the coming year. The Twin bridge
and the Borough bridge should soon be shingled, and it would

undoubtedly be good ecouoniy to have the same attended to dur-
the next season.
The amount paid out for "Fences and Signs" aggregates
$128.56, a slight increase from last year. Most of this outlay
has been for the keeping in good repair, and well painted, the
fences heretofore erected, and the procuring of guideboards for
such points as had not been before provided for. The principal
new work under this heading was the erection of the substan-
tial fence along the abutment wall opposite the cemetery en-
trance.
The "Macadamizing" account shows an expenditure of
$1,611.80 — an increase of some $600 over last year. This is ac-
counted for by the additional amount of work done by this
method, the actual cost per square yard being about in propor-
tion to that recently done heretofore. The west side of North
Main street, from Centre street to Washington street, has been
fully completed, in doing which nearly one thousand two-horse
loads of broken stone from the crusher have been used. The
material excavated for the purpose of Macadamizing has been
fully utilized, and if its value were to be computed on a basis
of cost of material obtained elsewhere, it would considerably
reduce the amount charged to Macadamizing. Enough of this
excavated material has been obtained to re-gravel Maple street
its full length. Prince street from Green to Spring street. Rum-
ford street between School and Warren, Perley street from
Main to State street, and Main street from Perley to West
street, besides a long piece on Bridge street and Gully hill.
A large amount of work similar in character to Macadamizing
has been accomplished by the use of stone chips from the va-
rious stone-sheds in the outskirts of the city. Although not so
well adapted for a smooth and permanent street as the more uni-
form angular pieces supplied by the stone-crusher, yet from mo-
tives of economy they have been extensively used in some lo-
calities, and have given good satisfaction. That part of Bridge
street lying between Main street and the railroad bridge has been
entirely rebuilt with this material, as has also South State street
between Laurel and Perley streets ; and at various points on the
West Concord road, it has been found to be more durable than
gravel, so that it has been extensively used at sundry points on
118 CITY OF CONCORD.
that thoroughfare, much to the satisfaction of travellers after it
has become thoroughly compacted by a few months' use. In
this connection it seems proper that I should repeat ray recom-
mendation of last year, that the present block stone paving on
Main street should be continued northerly as far as Centre
street, where the Macadamizing of the present season began.
Continued observation the more fully confirms my belief that
such a course would be wiser than to attempt to provide any
substitute paving for that square. The heavy teaming through
Bridge street to Main street requires something as an improve-
ment in the street at that point, and though block paving may
at first be expensive, it is the most durable and satisfactory of
anything which can be furnished to meet the requirements of
travel in that locality. If it should be decided to attempt such
work, a special appropriation for the purpose should be provided,
as the sum required would probably be much in excess of what
could be spared from the general appropriation for that pur-
pose. The city has no granite blocks for paving now on hand,
and such paving as has been called for has been laid with "cob-
ble" paving. Quite an amount of this has been laid under the
railroad tracks on Chandler street, covering an area of some five
hundred square yards. The gutter paving has been kept in
good condition, and new gutters have been laid on both sides of
Rumford street between Short street and Washington street.
Gutter paving upon the hillsides is almost an absolute necessi-
ty for the protection of the streets during the melting snows of
spring and the heavy showers of summer, and but few locali-
ties in the compact part of the city are now unprovided.
The amount for "Sidewalks and Crossings" aggregates
$3,289.41 — an increase of some eleven hundred dollars from last
year. This increase is explained, as indicated in my report for
last year, by the construction of a larger amount of concrete
walk than usual, the square around the government building
alone making an addition to this account of nearly $1,200.
The full amount of the expense of constructing sidewalks is
included in the sum above given, the item of collections from
abuttors of one half the expense is given in the receipts, so
that the actual expense to the city for sidewalks and crossings
would be reduced by the amount received for collections from
concrete.
STREET DEPARTMENT. 119'
The crossings which are constructed each year are a consid-
erable item of the expenses iucUided in this account, as it has
been the intention of the commissioner to construct crossings at
the junctions of all streets as soon as the concrete walks are
completed upon both sides of the street, and also at such other
points as seem best to serve the wants of public foot travel.
The expense of cleaning the streets is practically represented,
under the heading of " Cleaning and Sprinkling Streets," by the
amounts of the labor pay-rolls, with the addition of the amount
attending the repairs of the street sweeper. This machine has
for the first time been provided with a metallic brush in place
of the rattan formerly used, and the change seems to give good
satisfaction. The greater permanency of the brush thus pro-
vided, over the kind formerly used, can scarcely be doubted.
The sprinkling account includes a new sprinkler, besides the
various sums entered under that heading, an explanation of
each of which is shown in the account. The suggestion which
1 have before made, that it may be desirable to include the com-
pact part of the city in a " sprinkling precinct," occurs more
forcibly with each succeeding year. The subscriptions for
sprinkling are not in fair proportion to the cost, and if no other
than the city teams were used for the purpose, the expenses
for this work could not possibly be met from the limited amounts
at command. My experience in connection with this subject
leads me to believe that if a reasonable plan can be provided,
which will secure to all citizens the advantages afforded by the
sprinklers, so that the expense of the same can be equitably
divided, it will meet with general and hearty approval.
The " winter expense " shows a large increase, as both the
heavy snow-storms of January 25 and March 12 had to be cared
for from the appropriation for the current year. The total
amount expended as properly chargeable to winter expense for
the Central district was $3,759.75, being more than $1,400 in
excess of the previous year. The amounts annually to be re-
quired for this purpose are very uncertain, being entirely
dependent upon the weather, though it will readily be seen
that any excess above the ordinary sums required for this pur-
pose reduces in so much the amount available for the ordinary
and permanent work of this department.
120 CITY OF CONCORD.
The foregoing remarks indicate in a general way the amounts
which have been applied for the various works undertaken as a
part of the routine duties of this department. Other items, not
properly falling under either of the above classifications, are
included under the term " General Repairs." Most of the items
found in this account will explain themselves, the largest part
of the sum being the aggregate of the labor pay-rolls, which in-
clude the labor attendant upon caring for all the highways
within the limits of the Central district. It would hardly be
possible to refer in detail to tiie labor thus applied in various
localities. It has been the intention of the commissioner to
attend immediately to an}' work suggested as being necessary
to render the highways passable and safe.
In many sections it is impossible to construct good, perma-
nent roads, from lack of suitable material ; but improvements
have been attempted wherever it could be done in a reasonably
economical manner. Gravel suitable for making good roads is
becoming scarce, and requires to be drawn from longer distances
than formerly. But with our present system of road-building,
a large amount of gravel is annually required, and it will be
many years before the Macadamizing of streets will become so
general as to allow of its discontinuance in any marked degree.
As showing the amounts required in a single locality, it mav be
mentioned that one thousand and fifty-eight loads of gravel have
been used on the Millville road, from the jail to the Long Pond
road beyond St. Paul's school. This thoroughfare has needed
more care of recent years, from the fact that it is very largely
used for pleasure travel, in addition to the business travel which
would naturally belong to it. Possibly this has been somewhat
increased since the West Concord road has been avoided by
timid horsemen, on account of the use of the steam-motor in
that highway. An accurate counting of the teams passing over
the Millville road in summer, at a time when St. Paul's school
was not in session, shows an average during the past season of
more than six hundred and fifty teams a day, for a full week
when the count was made. Roads in other sections have been
regravelled in short pieces to an amount which would make a
large aggregate, though singly they would seem unimportant.
One piece, however, on the East Concord road, extending from
STREET DEPARTMENT. 121
the railroad crossiug to the tannery, used four hundred loads of
gravel, all of which was procured from the banks in the ceme-
tery.
The road machines belonging to the city have been used with
effect, as in previous years, and their continued use in the coun-
try districts is of great advantage and in the direction of true
economy. The commissioner was authorized to procure an ad-
ditional machine ; but the heavy drafts upon the appropriations,
caused by the extraordinary demands upon the department in
other directions, as herein referred to, made it seem judicious to
defer for a season the purchase. The need exists, however,
and, if the appropriation will allow, it should be procured early
in the coming season. When the suggestion for its purchase
was first made, it was in direct reference to the requirements of
the highways in the northerly section of the city, particularly in
and about the village of Penacook. The digging up of the
streets in that village, for the introduction of the water and sew-
erage system, has rendered extensive repairs necessary, and a
considerable outlay must be made before they can be restored
to a reasonably satisfactory condition,
A large number of catch-basins will be required at Penacook,
the possibility of which was suggested in my report for last
year. Three such catch-basins have been constructed there
already, and as those necessary appendages to the sewer system
are provided for the removal of surface-water, they are properly
chargeable to the highway department.
I have thus referred in a general way to the work performed
by this department, in order that your honorable body may be
fully informed as to the duties and requirements of this impor-
tant branch of the public service.
I acknowledge with thanks the many courtesies received from
the members of the city council, and, in declining a reelection to
the position of commissioner of highways, it is with a gratify-
ing appreciation of your friendly confidence heretofore. I have
labored zealously for what I have believed to be for the best
interests of the city, and trust that my acts have justified your
confidence and met your approval.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES H. ROWELL,
Commissioner of Highways.

REPORT OF THE COIVI^IITTEE 0:N"
SEWERS AOT) DRAIN^S.
To the City Goxmcil:
The committee herewith submit the following report in rela-
tion to sewers and drains for the year 1888 :
Amount appropriated, .... $3,070.00
Amount expended, .... 4,521.22
Excess of expenditures over appropria-
tion SI, 451. 22
a detailed account of which will be found in the precinct de-
partment of expenditures.
It was expected by the committee that a larger appropriation
would be required for the purpose of extending the sewer upon
the east side of South Main street, at an estimated expense of
$1,200, and the appropriation was increased $840 over 1887
for that purpose ; but the demands for sewers have been much
larger than anticipated, and it has been impossible for the com-
mittee to keep the expenditures within the appropriation with-
out denying that which seemed an actual necessity.
Our city is gradually increasing in size and population, and
many new buildings are being erected upon streets that have no
sewer connections ; and it is expected and demanded by those
citizens, who so build and occupy new houses, that they should
be accommodated and supplied with such improvements, in or-
der to comply with the requirements of the board of health.
We regret that the lack of funds has prevented some changes
and re[)airs that could have been made advantageousl}' to the sys-
tem ; also, as quite a difference of opinion existed between the
committee and citizens in the neighborhood as to what was most
exi)edieut to do, it was thought best to defer action for the pres-

ent, although the time is not far distant when a large outlay of
money will be required to perfect a permanent and satisfactory
system in that locality. We refer to that portion of the system
on Water street. The present sewer seems inadequate at times
for the amount of water passing through it, and has occasioned
much trouble and labor, also dissatisfaction to those living in
that locality. A system of sewerage will be required to accom-
modate those living in the western part of the city, where it is
now impracticable for them to utilize the present system, and
whenever this is done a permanent remedy and relief can be
provided for the outlet at the Water Street sewer, the expense
of which was estimated to be from S12,000 to $15,000. An-
other important matter will also soon have to be considered, —
that is, the extension of the large brick sewer from the foot of
Depot street to Main, and thence up Warren to Spring street.
During the past year a system of sewerage has been con-
structed in Penacook, at an expense of more than $16,000,
which, with the introduction of Long Pond water, supplies a
long-felt want to that village, and one that will be greatly ap-
preciated by its citizens. We trust that West Concord will not
be far behind its sister ward in these improvements, and take
advantage of the opportunities thus offered.
During the past season there has been laid 1,321 feet of 8 in.
pipe, 2,151 feet 10 in. pipe, and 736 feet of 12 in. pipe, making
a total of 4,208 feet — an excess of 1,537 feet over 1887.
New sewers have been constructed in accordance with peti-
tions presented, and the expense of the same is as follows :
The total expenditure, amounting to $4,521.22, as stated in the
detailed account in precinct expenditures, has been sub-divided,
so far as practicable, so as to show approximately the expense
of each separate piece of work :

commenced for 550 feet 15-inch pipe; and the
pipe was procured for the purpose at a cost of . 378.13
By a change in the plan, none of the new pipe on
Water street was laid, but remains on hand,
though repairs were made on the old sewer, and
expense made in preparing for the new sewer to
the amount of ...... . 96.80
Making a total amount, as thus sub-divided, of $4,354.83
The difference between this amount, which has been applied
to each separate piece, and the total amount expended being
$166.39, is represented to the amount of $100.85 for work done
for Union School District on the Spring Street lot, payment for
which has been made to the city treasurer, as will appear from
his report. The balance of $65.59 is represented by ihe expend-
itures for carting, for blacksmithiug, and for various tools re-
quired in the general progress of the work, which could not
properly be charged to any particular piece ; and as various
articles still remain on hand, it has not been deemed necessary
to make the exact sub-division.
All petitions for sewers during the year have been granted
and constructed, with one exception, where it was practicable.
There have been one hundred and twenty permits granted to
individuals to connect their drains with the public sewers.

KEPOKT OF PEIS^ACOOK SEWEE PRE-
CINCT.
To the City Council of Concord :
The idea of a system of sewerage for the village of Penacook,
a want long felt, and made more necessary by the introduction
of Long Pond water, took definite shape at a meeting of the
citizens of District No. 20, where the subject was fully discussed,
and the matter was referred to a committee, with instructions to
examine the different plans, estimate the cost, and report to an
adjourned meeting. After a full and searching investigation,
the committee reported that surveys had been made, and that
they would recommend the overflow system, as suggested by the
engineers, Messrs. Foss & Merrill. After full and free discus-
sion of the matter, it was unanimously voted to instruct the
aldermen from Ward 1 to secure, at the earliest moment, the
construction of a system of sewerage that would meet the wants
of the precinct, and that the precinct should be bonded to pay
for the same.
That action was taken, as your honorable body well know.
A precinct was formed. A loan was placed upon what we con-
sider to be very easy terms for the precinct to meet ; and the
Committee on Sewers and Drains commenced the system.
Owing to the large amount of rainy weather during the fall
months, and the change of location of the main outlet, made
necessary by the objection of the authorities of the Northern
Railroad to the original plan, the cost of construction has been
somewhat larger than it otherwise would have been, but the
estimates have been exceeded but little, if any. We would rec-
ommend that an additional appropriation be made the coming
year of $3,000, and that the work be continued in places not in-
cluded in the estimates for the vear 1888.

REPOKT OF THE TRUSTEES.
To the City Council:
An examination of the Librarian's report makes it manifest
that an immediate increase of books is imperative. The patron-
age of the library exceeds the expectation of its trustees, and
renders their office of greater importance than heretofore. They
are looked upon to supply the literary wants of our citizens, and
to maintain the well-being of the library. In order to do so,
the trustees respectfully request that an appropriation sufficiently
large be made to meet the necessities of the library.

LIBKARIAlsr'S REPORT.
To the Board of Tricstees :
During the past year tlie librarj^ has been open for the deliv-
ery of books 266 days, in which time 51,234 volumes have been
given out, a gain of 8,893 volumes over the number given out
in 1887.
Nine hundred and seventy volumes have been added to the
library, of which 821 were purchased ; the remainder were re-
ceived as donations.
The charge of twenty-five cents for each card was abandoned
on the sixteenth day of March last, since which time the library
has been, as required by the law of the state, free for the use
of all the inhabitants of the city.
The effect of this change was soon apparent in the increased
call for cards and books. Between the first day of May and
the twentieth day of October 23,302 volumes were given out, a
gain of 6,953 volumes over the number given out in the corre-
sponding time the preceding year.
Eighteen hundred and thirty cards were issued between the
sixteenth day of March and the first day of January of the
present year.
Agreeably to a vote of the City Council, a box of books has
been sent to Penacook twice a week since the commencement of
the summer season. At present about 180 volumes per week
are required to meet the demands of patrons in that part of the
city, and the demand for cards and books is still increasing.
In order to enable the owners of the Board of Trade Building
to make some desirable changes in their property, the delivery-
room of the library was given up on the tenth day of August.
This change made it necessary to move about three fourths of
the books and fit up the remaining rooms for the changed condi-
tion of the library.
The removal of the books to the Fowler Librarv Building
PUBLIC LIBRARY. 141
commenced on the twenty-second day of October, and the
rooms in the Board of Trade Building were given up on the first
day of November.
Some time was necessarily spent in arranging the books of
the circulating library in their new quarters, and the rooms were
opened for their delivery on the twelfth day of November.
Owing to the diflflculty in procuring workmen to finish the
needed carpenter work in the new building, the reference library
has not yet been arranged.
The reading-room has been furnished with a supply of the
leading magazines and newspapers published in the country,
and is now in successful operation. The Sunday attendance
as yet is small, but slowly increasing.
More books are much needed in the circulating library. The
number in this department should be doubled at once to meet
the reasonable demands of the patrons.

REPOET OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
To the City Council:
In submitting to your notice an abstract of our work during
the past year, we would take this occasion to thank the Honora-
ble Council for their cordial support, and would congratulate
the public that so little disease of an epidemic character has
prevailed.
The climatic changes of the past season were unusually
varied, yet the health of our citizens did not seem to suffer as
might have been reasonably expected. The mortality rates of
some other large towns and cities seemed to show the effects of
prolonged moisture, and we believe that our immunity was
largely due to the fact that we have a system of sewers and a
good water-supply.
The introduction of a water-supply and a partial system of
sewers into Ward 1 has already been of great benefit to the
citizens of that enterprising precinct, and, when the system is
fully developed and carried out, it will richly repay its cost in
the increase of the comfort and happiness of ever}' individual ;
for it is a broad general principle that must always hold good in
civilized communities, that whatever has a tendency to avert,
destroy, or diminish discomfort, pain, sickness, death, vice, or
crime, is a matter of vital importance, and of vital interest to
every class of persons. In the introduction of pure water, and
in devising a system for the safe and rapid removal of the sew-
age of that ward, you have done a sanitary work that will event-
ually prevent disease, prolong life, and improve the mental and
physical conditions of the residents of this important suburban
144 CITY OF CONCORD.
ward of our city. It is to be lioped that every family iu Pena-
cook will very soon "have a sufficient supply of pure vv^ater from
the public water service, and that the system of sewers will be
extended as fast as possible, until all are enabled to do away
with cesspools, surface drains, and privies.
It is true there is some expense attending improvements such
as this system contemplates, yet how often, after all has been
done, does the sanitarian hear expressions like this : *■' I do not
see how we could get along without it, or realize how we used
to suffer ; nor could we think of returning to the old way of
cesspools," etc. This would at once lead one to infer that the
increased expense was fully met in the increased comfort and
happiness, to say nothing about the enhanced value of the
property.
We would respectfully call your attention to the report of the
health officer and inspector, Mr. Cook.
It is very evident from his report that you have made no mis-
take in constructing new sewers in the compact part of the city
during the past summer. Large sections have been accommo-
dated, and the alacrity with which all concerned availed them-
selves of those new sewers showed very conclusively that they
were duly appreciated. Not only were a large number of fami-
lies enabled to do away with surface drainage and cesspools
that had become a local nuisance to themselves and also to their
neighbors, but it will bring new lots for building purposes into
the market, as they can utilize these sewers for drainage.
Therefore a public sewer, like a public street, serves in its wa}'
to open up sections of land for public and private enterprise.
While the matter of sewers and drains is under consideration,
we would respectfully call your attention, as we did last year,
to the necessity for a more rigid municipal supervision of our
sewerage system, and to reiterate our opinion of last 3'ear, that
" No good business man would affirm that business principles
would prompt any man, or a syndicate of men, to put one or
two hundred thousand dollars into a commercial enterprise, and
then leave it to take care of itself." It would not be considered
good management to leave our system of water-works to be
tapped at any place or iu any way that best suited the person
or family desiring a water-supply. We all are ready to admit
HEALTH REPORT. 145
that such a course would in a short period destroy the whole
system.
The same reasoning obtains regarding our system of sewers,
except " out of sight out of mind," and therefore but very few
ever take the trouble to investigate or even think of what may
occur, unless some better system of permanent supervision is
evolved.
One year since there was a consultation regarding sanitary
matters and improvements in our city, and the honorable mayor
recommended an increased appropriation of two hundred and
fifty dollars for the purpose of paying the expenses of a com-
mittee from the council and board of health, that they might
visit other cities and learn from observation the sanitary con-
ditions that promised the best results. Unfortunately for the
best interests of our city, members of this council, as well as
the board of health, have business or professional relations that
demand all their time, and it is no easy task to arrange for a
few days' absence, that would be necessary to investigate how
others are disposing of garbage and the accumulating waste and
effete matter incident to every large town or city.
Therefore no part of the additional appropriation has been
expended ; yet it is the opinion of this board that some such
investigation should be commenced and prosecuted, until a com-
mittee might be able intelligentl}^ to report to this council what
has been accomplished in other cities having the same or similar
conditions ; for it is better to profit by the experience of others
than to be obliged to learn through the expensive experience of
our own failures. This is especially true regarding the ultimate
disposal of garbage, kitchen waste, etc.
The intelligence of the people will ultimately reach a convic-
tion that it is unnatural as well as unsanitary for any town or
cit}' to pollute natural water-supplies with the waste products
of a population calling themselves civilized, thereby rendering
the water unwholesome and unfit for immediate use. The grow-
ing necessity for public water-supplies in all large places only
serves to render people more and more watchful of what neigh-
boring towns and cities are doing with their sewage and waste
matter. Constant vigilance is the price of safety. The drain-
age area of a water-supply must be kept under the closest sup-
10
146 CITY OF CONCORD.
ervision by the sauitary authorities of a community ; for it is
not enough that we obtain a supply free from pollution — it must
be kept so.
A commission, appointed in Massachusetts to exercise a
jealous guard over tlie public water-supply, reported over one
year since, and upon their recommendation the state board of
health " is invested with the general supervision of the water-
supplies. No sewage, drainage, excrement, or other refuse or
polluting matter of such kind or amount as, either by itself or
in connection with other matter, will corrupt or impair the
purity of a water used for domestic purposes, is permitted to be
delivered into a water-course, or any of its feeders, within
twenty miles above the point where a water-supply is taken.
Upon the application of a city or town to the supreme court,
alleging the pollution of its water-supply in violation of law, an
injunction may be issued, or the polluting substances required
to be so cleansed or purified that they shall no longer be delete-
rious. The limit of twenty miles in this law is a defect ; but
sanitary legislation is a thing of slow progress, and our friends
in Massachusetts undoubtedly secured as much as was possible
for them to obtain at the time."
Now it may be some time before the people of New Hamp-
shire demand that laws shall be specially enacted to protect
themselves from the contaminating influences of the pollution
of running water ; yet in common law the same individual rights
obtain, and communities as well as individuals are law-breakers,
and trample upon the inherent rights of every individual to pure
air, a clean soil, and pure water, when they allow our lakes,
brooks, and rivers to be polluted, as these are the natural water-
supply of New Hampshire.
Reasoning from analogy, your council cannot be too strict in
the exercise of your power to protect the water-supply of our
city. In fact, the law would hold the municipal council and
water commissioners to be criminally culpable should any epi-
demic or infectious disease be developed on account of the pol-
lution of the water from any cause that ordinary human fore-
sight might have averted. Because our water-supply is com-
munal instead of individual is no excuse for its not being abso-
lutely protected ; indeed, it should be made more imperative,
HEALTH REPORT. 147
for the larger the number supplied from a common reservoir,
the greater the clanger from unhealthfnl influences.
In this connection we would respectfully call your attention
to the city physician's report on this subject.
It has been said, by a distinguished writer on sanitation, that
the condition of the streets of a city was a good index of the
general intelligence and sanitary knowledge of its inhabitants.
This may not be wholly true ; yet it is quite certain that ordi-
nary foresight should prevent the necessity of promiscuous
digging up of our streets to construct sewers and water service
within a few days after expensive work has been done in paving
or Macadamizing.
It would seem but reasonable that whenever a section of our
streets was to be improved by being paved or covered with
broken stone, due notice should be publicly given, and all
those along the line having house drains or water service requir-
ing renewal or new work, should understand that all such work
should be done before or while the reconstruction of the street
was in progress. Our ordinances require all residing along the
line of our public sewers to be connected therewith, and no bet-
ter time can be found than while the street is being repaired ;
then, nothing but extraordinary occasions should require the
highway to be disturbed. We would also call tlie attention of
the public to the ordinance requiring the replacing of the earth
and paving when they have been disturbed ; and the fact that so
little regard is paid to its provisions is only another evidence
that we need further municipal supervision. Individual rights
should not be infringed upon, yet the public have rights that
should be respected, and the promiscuous digging up of our
streets and the destruction of shade-trees should not be permit-
ted. Such matters may not be directly injurious to the public
health, yet they are productive of discomfort to the public as
well as to those directly interested ; and improvements made by
private enterprise, which directly or indirectly add to the beauty
of our streets and thoroughfares, and to the comfort of those
who traverse them, should not be allowed to be sacrificed with-
out good and sufficient reasons.
The board desire to call attention to the unsanitary condition
of the lobby on Warren street. In their opinion it is not a fit
148 CITT OF CONCORD.
place for human beings to occupy, and its use for the detention
of law-breakers, or for lodgings for the unfortunate, is a viola-
tion of the laws of healtli. It has one door in front, a small
window opposite and two others in the attic, and a small venti-
lating cupola, beneath which is an opening about eighteen inciies
square in the ceiling. The only possible means of ventilation
are furnished by the door, windows, and trap-door. The use of
the door for that purpose is out of the question at all times, and
during cold weather the windows are also unavailable for this
purpose, limiting the source of a fresh air-supply to the eighteen-
incli aperture.
There is more than an ordinary necessity for sufficient venti-
lation, for one corner is occupied by a privy which is connected
with the sewer, but is not supplied with running water to admit
of its being properly flushed. Another fruitful source of foul
and disease-laden air is located beneath the floor with its many
cracks. For years the building has been cleansed of the filth
which drunkenness and deviltry make plentiful, by flooding it
with water, and then getting rid of it by allowing it to run off
upon the ground under the building, through a small opening in
the floor. The deposits remain upon the ground to send back
their poisonous effluvia, especially in warm weather.
The lobby is not provided with a padded cell, which is often-
times imperatively needed, nor with any conveniences for the
sick. The cells are alike, in that all have no furniture save a
bare bunk of plank. There is no means of distinguishing in the
accommodations between the poor unfortunate who is obliged to
seek shelter, and the criminal who has transgressed the laws ;
nor is there any provision for separating such females as it may
be necessary to confine there from the low and vile of the oppo-
site sex, save by the grated doors and walls of the cells opening
out of a common corridor.
These, briefly stated, appear to the board to be sufficient rea-
sons, from the stand-point of health and morality, why action
should be taken without delay to remedy an evil which has gone
unnoticed far too long.
While those who break the laws are not usually entitled to
particular sympathy, yet they have a right to demand, as a
matter of humanity, that while in confinement their sanitary
HEALTH REPOUT. 149
surroiindiugs shall not be such as to endanger or destroy
health.
In concluding this report, the board desire to call the attention
of all our citizens to the provisions of section seven of the ordi-
nance passed March 31, 1887 :
" Sec. 7. No person shall place or leave, or cause to be placed
or left, in or near any highway, street, alley, or public place, or
in any private lot or enclosure, or in any pond or other body of
water where tiie current will not remove the same, any rubbish,
dirt, soot, ashes, hay, sherds, oyster, clam, or lobster shells, tin
cans, decaying fruit or vegetables, toaste water, or any refuse
animal or vegetable matter tvhatsoever, nor keep in or about any
dwelling-house, barn, shed, store, shop, or cellar, any of the afore-
said substances in any manner liable to become putrid or offen-
sive, or injurious to the public health."
The report of the health officer serves to show that a great
many use back alleys, and drive-ways in the rear of blocks, for
dumping all forms of rubbish, and complaints are frequently
made that slops and refuse of all kinds are thrown from the
back windows of tenement-house blocks, making a local nui-
sance near the windows of the basement or lower floors. Ashes
are not only thrown upon the surface in these localities, but
any one having occasion to go about the city with teams, during
the winter months, finds that a great many violate this section
in throwing their daily accumulation of ashes into the street.
No prosecutions have yet been made by the health ofl3cer for
violations of this section, and the board sincerely hope none will
be necessary.
If our citizens will assist our health officer by having a system
of home inspection, he would find far less reason to leave orders
for cleaning up back yards ; and, as owners of blocks and tene-
ments are held equally responsible, under the law, with occu-
pants, we append the regulation adopted by this board, and ap-
proved by the council April 30, 1887 :
" The board of health ask the people carefully to read the
ordinance, and especially to note that it devolves upon them to
execute the provisions thereof, for no money has been appro-
priated to carry away garbage, or to clean up back yards or
alleys; on the contrary, sections 15 and 25 expressly provide
150 CITY OF CONCORD.
penalties for the neglect or violation of ' an}' or either of the
sections of this chapter,' etc. Therefore we call upon all our
citizens to clean out baciv yards and vacant lots, to proliibit and
prevent the throwing of garbage and all waste matter into back
yards and allevs, as well as the dumping of ashes and perish-
able materials into the street, or alley-wa}', or vacant lots, unless
the same had been specified as a dumping-ground by tlie health
officer, in which case people so using such dumping-grounds
must comply with the rules and regulations concerning the man-
ner in which such places shall be kept, as well as the material
to be dumped, for no animal or decaying vegetable material
shall be left above ground ; and all owners of private ways or
vacant lots allowing or inciting the filling in with aslies or other
material, will be held responsible for the condition sucli grounds
are found to be in."
The legislature in 1883 enacted a stringent law, the provisions
of which were intended to protect the public against loss of life
by fire. While Concord has not in the past been so unfortunate
in this respect as some cities in New Hampshire, yet there are
a good many buildings within our limits that are not " so erect-
ed as to afford ample facility for entrance and exit on all occa-
sions ; suitably provided with means of escape in case of fire ;
and also that they be erected with reference to the health and
safety of the persons who may reside in or visit them."
The board of health desire to call attention of the council to
section three of said act :
" The board of engineers of every city and the fire- wards of
every town shall, for the purposes of this act, be deemed inspec-
tors of buildings, unless otherwise provided by such cities or
towns : and every building by them designated as requiring ex-
amination shall be examined within ten days by such board of
mayor and aldermen, or said selectmen, as provided in section
two." — Laws of 1883, ch. 94, sec. 4.
According to this section, the board of engineers are to be
deemed the inspectors of buildings, but the ordinance establish-
ing and maintaining our fiie department fails to make this a part
of their duties.
Their duties of collecting fines from absent members, to see
that members of the department " wear some suitable badge,"
HEALTH REPORT. 151
and that " each company of the department shall appear for an
annual parade and inspection," are explicitly set forth ; but
nothing is said about their duties as inspectors of buildings and
making report to the board of mayor and aldermen, who are re-
quired to examine any building designated within ten days.
These are only quotations from our state laws, and explana-
tory ordinances for the use of our municipal departments should
be furnished.
We are often asked by medical men and others if the city have
an ambulance that can be used to carry the injured or sick to
their homes or to the hospital. We are obliged to answer in
the negative. Yet there have been several instances during the
past year when such a vehicle was very much needed ; and the
board would recommend one to be kept either at the central fire
station or at some centrally located stable, from which it could
be quickly summoned for the use of the police or fire depart-
ment, as well as for conveying patients to the hospital.
It may be added that these are small matters to bring before
the honorable city government. This is true ; yet the chances
to perform great deeds are comparatively rare, and fall to the
lot of but very few, while the sum total of human happiness in
this world is made up of little things, almost infinitesimal in
themselves, yet in the aggregate they make life's work a perpet-
ual sunshine, or a dismal, fatiguing, uncomfortable existence ;
and while people should not be expected to endure the discom-
forts of the unsanitary conditions around them, still all must
remember that the settlement of personal animosities and neigh-
borhood disputes forms no part of the work of a health oflScer.

REPOKT OF THE HEALTH OFFICEK.
To the Board of Health :
On entering upon the duties of health officer for the season of
1888, I caused notices to be printed, and also published in the
daily papers, calling the attention of the owners and occupants
of tenements and other property in the city to the duty of clean-
ing up their premises and putting them in such a condition as
to conform to the sanitary laws. This request was generally
complied with, and a large amount of the cleaning of yards and
vj^ults was done before the commencement of warm weather.
Attention was also given to a number of vacant lots on some
of the streets and in the rear of blocks on Main street, that had
been used for the depositing of all manner of rubbish. Owners
of these lots were notified to have them cleaned up, and notices
were posted thereon calling attention to the city ordinance in
relation to this matter. Teams were furnished when desired,
at the expense of the applicants ; and quite a number of orders
for the cleaning of vaults were also received, and given to par-
ties who left their names for that purpose.
There are at the present time but two places specified in the
regulations of the board of health for the dumping of rubbish.
These are on the bank of the river, upon tlie city lot east of the
river and north of the Free Bridge road, and in a similar posi-
tion on the land of Messrs. Robertson & Rowell, on the west
side of the river and south of the Free Bridge road.
There is plenty of room at these places for dumping purposes.
They are easy of access, and people should conform to the rules,
and not dump their rubbish on vacant lots or on the sides of the
roads leading out of the city.
The number of requests and complaints for various causes
during the past season was 109, as follows:
Bad well-water, ........ 1
Bad drainage, ......... 1

These complaints were attended to, and a disposition was
evinced to comply with the requirements of the health ordi-
nance.
From the inspections made in 1887, it was found that many
houses situated on the line of the street-sewers were not con-
nected with them, in violation of the laws relating to the same.
Owners of houses thus situated were notified by direction of tiie
board of health to conform to the laws, and connect their
premises with the sewer. At last accounts 61 private houses
and 55 tenements had been connected, which shows that good
progress has been made in this direction. There has been no dis-
position to oppress any one, and a number who were not able, for
good reasons, to make the improvement the past season will do
so next summer. The building of the much needed sewer in
the rear of the east side of South Main street, connecting with
the one in Chandler street, furnishes sewerage to 17 more tene-
ments, and the owners were ready to avail themselves of the
privilege.
This sewer was mainly built for the benefit of these tene-
ments, as they were so situated that they could not connect
with the South Main Street sewer. The extension of the sewer
from Washington street around into Centre and also a part of
Pine street, will greatly accommodate the houses in that section.
By the laying of a branch sewer near Fiske's lane, at the North
154
CITY OF CONCORD.
End, to the land of Mead & Mason, the sewerage of thirteen
tenements belonging to them is carried away instead of flowing
out on the surface and polluting the soil, Most of these tene-
ments were so situated that they could not connect with the
North Main Street sewer, and the branch sewer was put in for
their benefit. Credit is due to Mead & Mason for the efforts
they have made the past season in providing better sewerage for
their tenements in different parts the city, and also to A. F.
Holt and the executors of the estate of B. F. Caldwell for simi-
lar improvements in the tenements on Turnpike street.
A great improvement has been made at Penacook by the con-
struction of sewers in most of the streets of that village. A
number of owners of private houses and tenements have availed
themselves of this opportunity for better drainage, and further
improvements may be expected during the coming year.
In one instance, in the compact part of the city, the well-
water used in a block of tenements was analyzed by Prof. E. R.
Angell, and found to be bad, and Lake Penacook water was
substituted by the owner when it was evident that the well-
water was unfit to use.
Where sickness and death have occurred from contagious dis-
eases, and were thought to be caused by the unsanitary condition
of the premises, an investigation has been made, and whatever
was found to be wrong has been repaired by the owners. In
one instance, in a double-tenement house where scarlet-fever
prevailed in a family, a change was made from privy vaults to
water-closets. In another case, where a death resulted from
diphtheria, and a defective sink drain was discovered, the old
drain was taken out, an iron pipe substituted, and a sink-trap
put in.
The sanitary inspection was continued during the season of
1888 with the following results:

Since the month of August a monthly statement of the mor-
tality of the city has been prepared from the returns made ta
the city registrar. These have been furnished to the daily pa-
pers, and sent in exchange to other cities. The statement gave
information as to the number and cause of deaths, death rate
per 1,000, locality, sex, color, condition, age, and place of bur-
ial. The number of births was also given, and a meteorological
report was inserted, taken from the monthly statement prepared
by Hon. W. L. Foster. Reports in exchange have been re-
ceived from various parts of the country, and contain much
information. Notwithstanding the bad weather and the large
number of sudden deaths from accident during the year 1888,
I think that the death rate of Concord will compare favorably
with other cities in the United States.
Respectfully submitted,
H. M. COOK,
Health Officer,
Concord, Dec. 31, 1888.
The sad and unfortunate cases of sickness and death from
typhoid fever in the families of Harry and John Hawkins, oc-
curred in the autumn of 1888. The former lived in a third-
story tenement in Stickney block, and the latter in a tenement
on Wentworth avenue.
Harry Hawkins was the first one taken sick, and died in Sep-
tember, after a short illness. His wife was stricken with the-
disease, but recovered after being taken to the City HospitaL
156 CITY OF CONCORD.
Mrs. John Hawkins was the next one taken sick, and died in
October at her home on Wentworth avenue. The two daugh-
ters, Bessie and Ada Hawkins, and the nurse, Miss Tupper,
who attended Mrs. Hawkins, were taken ill soon after, and were
removed to the hospital. The sons, George and John, had
symptoms of the disease, and were also taken to the hospi-
tal. Bessie, George, and John died at the hospital within a
short time of each other. Miss Tupper recovered, and Ada, at
this time of writing, is in a fair way to recover. John Haw-
kins, the father, did not take the disease, neither did any one
in the families that lived in the other tenements. Thus, of the
eight who were taken sick, five died and three recovered.
The tenement occupied by Mr. Hawkins, and owned by
J. Wentworth, is situated on Wentworth avenue. It is in
the west end of a block of tenements, and was formerly a
stable, but some two 3'ears ago was raised up, a cellar put
under it, and it was fitted up for a dwelling. Two other tene-
ments in the block have connections, for the water-closets
and sinks, with the same sewer-pipe as did the tenement occu-
pied by Mr. Hawkins.
After the death of Mrs. Hawkins, I visited the house, and, in
company with Mr. Hawkins, went into the cellar to see if there
was any defect in the sewerage or plumbing. The cellar had a
cement floor, and was in a clean condition. The water-closet
was situated in the cellar, and was of the direct pressure style,
and a ventilating-pipe connected it with the chimney. The pipe
from the sink came down into the cellar, and entered the sewer-
pipe near the water-closet. There was a trap in the sink-pipe
just below the kitchen floor. As the soil-pipe was under the
cement floor, I could not discover anything that was wrong
about the drainage. The water-closet and sink-pipe were on the
east side of the cellar, and the most of the soil-pipe was in the
cellars of the other tenements. There was no soil-pipe ventila-
tor going up through the roof as required in the city ordinance
in relation to sewers and drains. Soon after this all of the
family who were sick were taken to the hospital.
On the evening of November 4, Dr. S. C. Morrill, who was
at that time the attending physician at the hospital, called at
my house and said that a thorough investigation of the premises
HEALTH DEPARTMENT. 157
was desired, to find out, if possible, what was the cause of this
sickness. Mr. Hawkins also came to me the next morning and
made the same request. I immediately went to see Mr. Went-
worth, and told him that something must be done in the matter
of an investigation, and of a repairing of whatever was found to
be wrong. He thought there was nothing the matter with the
house, but was willing to do what was right about it, and as
Mr. Hawkins had a lease of the house, he would make some
arrangements with him about the repairs, if found necessary.
Workmen came soon after, and dug down to the sewer-pipe
just outside of the house in the yard. They found that there
was no trap at that point, although there were traps in the soil-
pipes connecting with the water-closets of the three tenements
situated in the cellars. Upon breaking into the drain under the
cement floor, it was found to be filled with sewage-water from
the sinks and closets. The water did not run off as it should
into the street sewer, and there was not inclination enough in
the pipe, both inside and outside, so that it was liable to be ob-
structed.
The repairs that were made, upon ascertaining the conditioD
of the sewerage, were as follows : The five-inch Akron pipe
under the cement floor was all taken out, and an iron pipe
laid in its place. A trap was put in just outside of the house,
and a ventilating or fresh air flue connected with it. The
highest part of the soil-pipe in the cellar of Mr. Hawkins's ten-
ement was connected with an iron ventilating-pipe run out
through the roof. About seventy-five feet of the six-inch
Akron pipe in the yard was taken up and relaid, and the
right inclination given, so that there should be no danger of
its being obstructed in the future. I think that the sanitarv
condition of the premises at the present time is good.

158 CITV OF CONCORD.
EEPORT OF THE CITY PHYSICIAN.
To the City Council :
In accordance with an annual custom and the provision of a
city ordinance, the City Physician begs leave to submit the fol-
lowing report :
Whole number of visits made during the year, . . 43
Prescriptions given at office, ...... 7
Obstetric cases attended, . . . . . • 1
It will thus be seen that there has been but little sickness
among our city poor. And, although we had during the au-
tumn months a protracted term of wet weather, which is condu-
cive to disease and death, still our death-rate for the year will
not be far above the average of that of years past. This mat-
ter, however, is fully discussed in the report of the board of
health.
It may not be improper here to refer to a matter about which
the City Physician has been questioned more or less during the
year, namely, the cutting of ice on Penacook lake. Owing to
greater enlightenment upon such subjects, our community is
coming to recognize the value, from a sanitary stand-point, of
pure ice as well as pure drinking-water. Nothing can be more
erroneous than the popular idea that water becomes purified by
freezing. If water is unfit for use, it can be hardly less so after
being frozen. In support of this assertion, the following is
quoted from page 9, Vol. 1, No. I, of The Sanitary Volunteer,
the official organ of the State Board of Health :
" GATHERING AN ICE-SUPPLY.
" As the time approaches for the gathering of the yearly ice-supply, it
would be well for all to remember that impure ice is as dangerous as im-
pure water, and as readily found.
HEALTH DEPARTMENT. 159
" Ice for domestic use should never be gathered from a source where the
water before freezing was unfit for drinking purposes. The idea enter-
tained by some that water, in freezing, eliminates its impurities, is a dan-
gerous theory because it is false. Epidemics have been traced to the use
of polluted ice. Analysis and microscopic investigations have shown ice
to contain large quantities of organic matter, as well as bacteria, which
became active when the ice was melted. The germs of typhoid fever, and
probably of other diseases, may be imprisoned in ice, and after liberation,
by melting, become active in the production of disease. These are facts
well known in sanitary science, and they should be equally well under-
stood by the people.
" Be as guarded in the selection of ice as in the choice of a supply of
water. Gather ice only from clean streams and ponds. Purchase of no
dealer who does not follow this rule."
We have in Penacook lake an ample supply of pure water,
so the ice cut there is pure and wholesome ; but if present
methods are continued, this will not always be the case.
As you are aware, the ice is cut not far from the crib or in-
take of our water-supply. During the cutting and drawing
away of the ice, fifteen to twenty teams (thirty to forty horses)
are on the ice more or less of the time, and a considerable
amount of excrement from the teams must of necessity be left
on the pond. When the ice thaws in the spring, this, being so
near the intake, contaminates the water which we drink. The
question which has been asked is repeated here : Is there not
some suitable apparatus which can be economically operated by
steam or other motive power, by which the ice can be cut and
floated to the shore, thereby doing away with the necessity of
having any teams on the pond ?
This is a matter which seems to be beyond the control of the
local board of health ; but I believe it is worthy of your careful
consideration. Chapter XXI, Section 11, of the Revised Oi'di-
nances, reads as follows : " No person shall swim, bathe, or go
into Penacook lake, or put therein, or upon the ice thereof in
the winter season, or upon the shores so near the water thereof
as to cause the defilement or pollution of said water, any ani-
mal or vegetable matter, or any other substance that will defile
or pollute said water."
Section 6 of the Health Ordinance, passed March 31, 1887,
the latter part, reads as follows: "He [the sanitary officer]
160 CITY OF CONCORD.
shall also enforce the provisions of Section 11, Chapter XXI^
relating to the pollution of the water of Penacook lake." As
the parties have permission from the water commissioners, or
board of mayor and aldermen, or both, to cut the ice, it is
hard to see what power the sanitary officer may have in the
premises, especially as he is not on duty during the winter ; and
as there are prescribed duties which demand all his time in the
city in the summer months, it is impossible for him to be at the
lake to enforce the ordinance during those months. There seems
to be but one practicable remedy : see to it that the lake and
the shores are not used as a pleasure resort, and allow no teams
on the ice.
Is it not unwise, nay, more, is it not criminal, to allow our
water-supply to become contaminated either in the manner of
cutting ice, or by its surface and shores being used as a pleasure
resort during the warmer months?
The City Physician takes this opportunity to express to you
his own gratitude, as well as the gratitude which all those who
have profited by it must feel, for the generous annual appropri-
ation which you have made to the City Hospital, thereby mak-
ing it possible for some of our sick poor to receive that care
and attention which they could not possibly otherwise have en-
joyed. An idea prevails to some extent among a certain class^
that going to the hospital is equivalent to signing one's own
death-warrant. This, no doubt, arises largely from the fact
that all the deaths occurring there are published in the daily
papers, while the recoveries are published only in the annual
report. All who are acquainted with the institution know that
the chances of recovery in the hospital are equal, and in many
cases superior, to what they would be in one's own home. No
more worthy use can be made of the city's money than in con-
tinuing the same appropriation for another year.
In closing, the City Physician would call your attention to the
reports of the city marshal and board of health upon the con-
dition of the lobby. When called to that institution profession-
ally, as has happened several times during the year, he found
a deplorable condition of things. Think of a man with a battered
head, another with a lame hip and blistered feet, or any tired,
unfortunate, and penniless traveller who happens to come along
HEALTH DEPARTMENT. 161
aud want a night's lodging, being given a bed in that place ! The
best bed consists literally of two-inch hard wood planks, without
mattress, pillow, blanket, or any article of bed-clothing. Think,
again, of six or eight persons of both sexes,— drunks, criminals,
and unfortunates, together, — being confined in a building of that
size during a hot summer night, and with practically no means
of ventilation ! The odors arising from the bodies of so many
persons, most of them filthy, would be almost unbearable ; and
when to this is added the emanations from human excrement,
the place becomes unfit for dumb animals. The interests of hu-
manity and common decency demand a condition of things radi-
cally different, and may the fair fame of our city soon cease
to be blackened by that institution.
Respectfully submitted,
H. C. CUMMINGS, M. D.,
City Physician.

EEPOET OF THE CITY MARSHAL.
To the City Council:

I would respectfully submit that this department requires
a police-station suitable for its business. The present one
needs no introduction as to its reputation or condition. I would
recommend, when a police-station is built, that three grades
of cells be provided. First, for drunks ; that the cells be so ar-
ranged as that they may be flooded with water to cleanse the
same. Second, for prisoners and lodgers. Third, for unfortu-
nate people, who call for a night's lodging. Perhaps it is not
generally understood that we have calls for lodgings from peo-
ple who have seen better days ; people who have been nnable to
find work or friends ; people who have missed the train ; — and
for women, no matter how low they have fallen, to occupy a
hard bench in a cell next (perhaps) to a howling drunk, crazed
by delirium tremens, is seemingly cruel.
I would recommend that a police-box, or lock-up, be placed at
East Concord, also one at West Concord, with telephone con-
nection with each, for the reason that it is not always conven-
ient for a special officer to procure a team, or spare the time to
convey a prisoner to this oflSce ; and I think it would greatly
assist in preserving good order in those wards, and encourage
the officers in doing their duty.
Perhaps it is unnecessary for me to mention the increasing
demand for an enlargement of the present police force. I would
recommend that three additional night-watch be added at once,
— one to have a beat at the South Eud, one at the North End,
POLICE DEPARTMENT. 218
and one to patrol from Pleasant to Franklin street, west of
Spring street.
With the three night men at present on duty, two of them are
liable to be called away to quell a disturbance, or to make an
arrest at East Concord or West Concord. They may be called
eight miles from this office. It requires two men to go with a
team and make an arrest. Is it prudent to leave only one man
on duty ? and he may be called to some part of the city to at-
tend a reported disturbance ; for the number of arrests made
are but a part of the many duties performed by the officers.
During the day I have endeavored to keep this office open to
telephone communications. The demands upon my time have
been such that I have been compelled to be away from the office
investigating cases, looking up evidence, consulting with the city
solicitor, etc., — that for each and every day. There are times
when no police officer is on the street, — he being in the office dur-
ing my absence, — to properh' keep track of hard characters ar-
riving in town. An officer should attend the arrival of all reg-
ular passenger trains ; and if it is deemed expedient, I would
recommend the appointment of one additional day officer. Some
ordinance should be passed regulating vicious and dangerous
dogs. Quite a number of our citizens have been bitten by dogs.
In all such cases the owner has been requested (and a few owners
have complied with the request) to either dispose of his dog, or
put him on the chain. In some cases a number of persons have
been injured by the same dog. I know of no ordinance to re-
strain such dogs or owners.
In concluding my first report, I wish to extend to His Honor
the Mayor and Chief of Police, and to your honorable board, my
most sincere thanks for the courteous treatment received at
your hands ; also to the better class of citizens for their hearty
cooperation in enforcing duties pertaining to this office. Thanks
are also due to Harry G. Sargent, city solicitor, for the prompt
and efficient aid he has given this office.
Respectfully submitted,
G. S. LOCKE,
City Marshal.

EEPORT OF THE CITY SOLICITOR.
To the City Council :
The only suits that are now pending in the supreme court, in
which the city of Concord is interested as a party, are Haskell
against Concord, and Concord against the Concord Horse Rail-
road. The latter action is brought by the city to test the right
of the Horse Railroad to construct sidings in the streets of the
city without the same being located by the mayor and aldermen.
The case is an important one, for if the claims made by the
Horse Railroad are sustained b}' the court, they have extraordi-
nary and unusual powers under their charter. The case was
argued at the last December law term of the supreme court, by
Hon. Jeremiah Smith, of Dover, N. H., for the Horse Railroad,
and by the city solicitor for the city. It will probably be de-
cided at the March law term, 1889.
The suit of Haskell against Concord is brought to recover
damages caused to the plaintiff by the alleged improper con-
struction of a sewer in West Concord. The amount of dama-
ges claimed is $1,000. It will probably be tried at the next
trial term of the supreme court.
Since my last report, the Knibbs Valve cases against Con-
cord and the other cities of New Hampshire, which were then
pending in the United States circuit court, have been decided in
favor of the cities, and the matter is finally ended. The cities
have won a complete victory. Ex-Judge Foster, who was coun-
sel for the combined cities of New Hampshire, is entitled to
great credit for the skilful manner in which he conducted the
defence for the cities.

KEPORT OF THE SPECIAL COIVOIITTEE
FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF BLOSSOM HILL
CEMETERY.
The special committee for the improvement of Blossom Hill
cemetery respectfully submit the following report of progress
for the year ending Dec. 31, 1888 :
1. The highway fronting the entrance to the cemeter}' has
been considerably widened and much improved at the expense
of the Department of Highways, and the retaining wall on the
easterly side of the roadway relaid and extended northward for
some distance, greatly improving the approach from the city.
2. The contract made last year with R. McDonald for one
thousand running feet of stone wall has been carried out, and
the wall laid to the satisfaction of the executive committee hav-
ing the work in charge, and it is to be hoped will merit the ap-
proval of the public.
3. The culvert leading, from the ravine south of the main en-
trance, and passing under Rumford street, has been extended
within the cemetery a distance of about seventy-five feet, with
the intention of filling at least a portion of the ravine, and thus
giving opportunity for a needed widening of the roadway within
the enclosure. The retaining-wall of the street at the same
point has also been moved, and relaid in a more substantial
manner than before.
4. Mr. Charles Elliott, of Boston, has furnished plans for the
laying out of lots in the newer portions of the grounds not be-
fore allotted, and also for the approaches at the main entrance.
The opening at the line of the street for this entrance-way will
be one hundred and forty feet, gradually narrowing by a convex
curve to about fifty feet in widtii, fifty feet back from the front
line of the cemetery. This will afford convenient width for an
appropriate granite (arched) gateway, which it is hoped some
CEMETERIES.
239
of our citizens may be pleased to contribute in loving memory
of the dead.
The details of expenditure will be found in the report of the
treasurer.
The committee have in contemplation the coming year such
an extension of the front wall, and grading of the grounds adja-
cent, as the appropriations made will permit of, and beg leave
to urge the necessity for an increase of the amount to be appro-
priated in order that the work may be carried forward more
rapidly.
Respectfully submitted,

Secretary of the Committee.

HYDRANTS.
There have been 11 hydrants added during the year, making
a total of 170 public and 22 private hydrants now in use.
APPARATUS AND FORCE.
The force of the Department is as follows : In the Precinct,
at the Central Station, two second-class Amoskeag steamers, —
" Kearsarge " with " Kearsarge Hose" (16 men), and Gov.
Hill relief steamer with Eagle Hose (13 men). The hose-
carriages are both of Amoskeag manufacture with reels. Hook
and ladder carriage "City of Concord" (20 men). All the
244 CITY OF CONCORD.
apparatus is drawn by horses. All the men in these companies
are call men. Permanent men are steward, assistant steward,
and three drivers. There are six horses beside the steward's
horse held within reasonable distance. Alert Hose (12 men)
at the North End. The Alerts use a modern hose-wagon, and
are provided with a horse kept constantly at the hose-house.
Good-Will Hose (12 men), South End. The Good-Will use
a modern hose-wagon, purchased by members of the company,
and are provided with a horse, kept at a hack stable near the
Hose-house. Each company has a swing harness. All the
men are call men.
The ''Pioneer" steamer at Penacook (28 men) is a fourth-
class Silsby, with a second-class Amoskeag hose-carriage. The
steamer can be drawn by horses or by hand, as necessity
requires.
The "Old Fort" at East Concord, and the "Cataract" at
West Concord, are hand-engines, with jumpers for hose. Each
company has 30 men. All the companies in the Department
are supplied with hose-sleighs, except "Old Fort" at East Con-
cord.
HOUSES.
During the year there has been erected in Ward 3 a sub-
stantial and convenient brick building for use of Cataract
Engine Company No. 3, and ward purposes. It will be provided
with all necessary conveniences, and suitable accommodations
for the members of the company, and when completed will be
one of the best in the city.
The Pioneer engine-house at Penacook needs painting.
" Old Fort " engine-house at East Concord is in good con-
dition.
The house of Hose 3 needs remodelling, to meet the require-
ments of the company.
Last October the city government granted an appropriation
of $1,200 for the purpose of enlarging the cramped quarters of
the Alert Hose company at the North End. This has been
accomplished by building a two-story addition of ornamental
design to the front of the old structure, and the company has
one of the best equipped fire-houses in New England.
FIRE DEPARTMENT. 245
The apparatus room, which is about 32 by 20, has been fitted
with all the latest improved devices, including an iron run-way,
a stall in which a horse will be kept at all times, sliding-pole,
electric lighting gas burners on all the jets, electric trip on the
stall doors, and halter, and an electric lock ou side door, dis-
pensing with the use of keys when an alarm comes in. By the
use of large spring hinges on the doors, and also on the doors
entering the stable, the complicated arrangement of cord,
weights, and pulleys is dispensed with, adding much to the neat
appearance of the quarters. The stall has been fitted with a
patent iron flooring, which is so constructed and put in that it
is believed that all objectionable odors will be reduced to a
minimum, and the latest improved feeding crib and grain
trough. In the second story of the addition is the sleeping-
room, containing electric apparatus for the lighting of all the
gas, unlocking the door, throwing open the stall doors and
releasing the horse, which operations are simultaneously per-
formed by means of one pull on a small lever. This story also
contains the hay-loft, and ample room for the storage of com-
pany property. The house has been handsomely painted
throughout, is well lighted, and is a credit to the city and to the
department.
FIRE ALARM.
This branch of the service has seen much needed improvement
during the year. There has been erected on Jackson street
a wooden tower, sixty-five feet high, and a metal bell placed
therein weighing three thousand seven hundred and twenty-four
pounds. The tower on Central Fire Station has been built
higher, and a bell weighing three thousand seven hundred and
forty pounds purchased to take the place of the smaller one
formerly used. There have also been added five new boxes and
three gongs. The gongs have been located as follows : One
at Northern Railroad shop, one at Concord Railroad shop, one
at Abbot-Downing Co. The alarm has also been changed from
two circuit to four circuit, known as the North, South, East
and West. In the North circuit there are five boxes, viz., Nos.
23, 17, 15, 8, 14, two bells, 4^ miles of wire.
246 CITY OF CONCORD.
In the South circuit there are ten boxes, viz., Nos. 41, 48, 46,
47, 49, 52, 45, 6, 42, 43, one bell, three gongs, 5^ miles of
wire.
In the East circuit there are five boxes, viz., Nos. 34, 35, 25,
5, 24, five gongs, 4J miles of wire.
In the West circuit there are nine boxes, viz., Nos. 26, 16, 13,
18, 27, 32, 37, 7, 36. 4^ miles of wire. Total, 19 miles of
wire, 29 boxes, 8 gongs, and 3 bells.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
We have in the department two four-wheel hose-carriages
with reels (Kearsarge and Eagle hose-carriages), located at
Central Fire Station, which have seen years of service, and
which, if kept in service longer, should be thoroughly repaired
the coming year. And I would recommend the city council to
dispose of the heavy, cumbersome, and less convenient car-
riages, and purchase two modern hose-wagons to fill their
places, which are in every respect a great improvement over the
old reel.
I also recommend the purchase of one thousand feet of fabric
hose, 2 1-2 inch, Paragon brand.
I would further recommend, "' and deem it essential," that
the house of Hose 3 be remodelled and made suitable for the
requirements of the company, which can be done witiiout great
expense.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
In conclusion, I desire to tender ray thanks to the assistant
engineers, oflflcers, and members of the different companies, for
the active interest they have manifested in all matters pertaining
to the success of the department. I also desire to express my
thanks to His Honor Mayor Robertson, and to the Fire Com-
mittee, for the interest they have taken in the welfare of the
department. To the City Marshal and the members of his
force, and to the Superintendent of Hre Alarm, I am under
many obligations.
Respectfully submitted,
CHAS. C. BLANCHARD,
Chief of Fire Department.

REGULATIONS OF THE CONCORD PRECINCT
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
ADOPTED CY THE BOARD OF ENGINEERS, AUGUST, 1888.
Article 1. Any engine or hose company running out a line of hose
from a hydrant or steamer shall be entitled to the pipe, although the
hose of other companies may be attached in order to reach the fire ; and
any company coming to a fire, and finding an incomplete line of hose laid
out from a hydrant or steamer, shall 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 belong to the company attaching to the
the hydrant or steamer, as provided in the foregoing article ; but any
company furnishing the entire line, and receiving water from a steamer,
tlie pipe shall belong to such company so receiving.
Art. 3. Each engine and hose company shall have equal claim to the
hydrants ; but it is enjoined upon the engine companies to draught 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 tlie order of an engineer, another
company may attach a second line of hose from such hydrant or steamer,
in case the same may be necessary, such company having first laid its
hose, and being ready to attach the same.
Art. 5. No engineer shall interfere with or attempt to give orders
relative to the location or use of a line of hose when he has ascertained
that another has command of it, unless by consent of the engineer in
charge of it, or by orders of the officer in command at the fire ; and it
shall be his duty to inquire whether there is an officer in charge.
Art. 6. In proceeding to, working at, or returning from fires, noisy
demonstrations are strictly prohibited, and it is required of officers of
companies to maintain perfect order and decorum in their respective com-
mands durinff all such service.
256 CITY OF CONCORD.
Art. 7. No company, while returning from a 6re, will be allowed to
proceed faster than a walk, and it must at all times 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
casualty occurring to horses or apparatus will be considered a sufficient
cause for the suspension of the driver in charge at the time.
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 engineer shall

FIRE-ALARM SIGNALS.
1. Alarms rung in from boxes 41, 42, 43, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, and 52,
will not be responded to by the Alert Hose until signalled. The signal
to pi'oceed to the fire will be a second alarm ; the signal of dismissal, three
strokes of the bells.
2. Alarms rung in from boxes 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 23 will not be
responded to by Good-Will Hose until signalled. They will be governed
by the same signals as the Alert Hose.
3. Eleven consecutive strokes of the bells, following any regular box
alarm, or during any fire, is a call for the relief steamer (Gov. Hill),
and will be responded to by Eagle Hose, which has that steamer in
charge. The relief steamer will, however, respond to the first alarm
from Box 7 (N. H. Asylum for the Insane) without special call.
4. Two rounds of each eleven strokes of the bells, with an intermission
of one minute between the rounds, without any regular box alarm, will
signalize the requirement of a steamer from outside the Precinct, and
will be responded to by Kearsarge and Eagle Hose companies alone.
In case further aid is necessary, the box-alarm 34 (Central Station) will
follow.
(These rounds of eleven strokes, which are signals for the relief
steamer, or a call from out of town, must not be confounded with an
alarm from private boxes 5, 6, 7, or 8.)
FIRE DEPARTMENT. 259
From the above, it will be seen that the companies are subject to calls
as follows :
Steamer Kearsarge and Hose — To all calls except the relief steamer.
Eagle Hose — To all calls, including the relief.
Hook and Ladder — To box alarms only.
Alert Hose — To box alarms only above Pleasant street, all private
boxes, and upon second alarm to boxes below.
Good-Will Hose — To box alarms only below Centre street, all private
boxes, and upon second alarm to boxes above.
The signal for dismissal (three strokes) is used only for the purpose of
notifying the companies not on duty that their services are not required,
and does not imply that the fire is out, or that the companies on duty are
dismissed.
TESTING SIGNALS.
For the purpose of testing the condition and accuracy of the fire-alarm
telegraph, a box alarm will be rung in every Monday afternoon at 4 : 30
o'clock precisely. It will be one single round only, indicating by the
strokes on the bells the number of the box ; and the box will then be cut
out, and no additional round sounded. The boxes used for this purpose
will vary each week, alternating in the circuits.
Upon each other week-day a single blow upon the bell will be struck
from the button of a box, alternating as before mentioned.
THE FIRE-ALARM TELEGRAPH
Is the " Gamewell " patent. It embraces nineteen miles of wire on the
main lines, and seven miles of extension wire for call-bells.
On the main line are twenty-five fire-alarm boxes belonging to the city,
and four private boxes, — in all, twenty-nine. There are three alarm
bells, — one of 3,724 pounds (bell-metal), one of 3,740 pounds (bell-
metal), and one of 2,000 pounds (American steely. There are also seven
engine-house gongs, four mechanical tappers, one four-circuit repeater,
and three indicators.
On the extension line are twenty- three call-bells.
The battery consists of 103 cups for the main line, and five cups for
the extension.
The alarm was put in in 1880 by Edwin Rogers, 27 Federal street,
Boston, INIass.

MAYOR'S ADDRESS.
Gentlemen of the City Cou7icil:
The city charter makes it the duty of the Mayor
to communicate, from time to time, to the city
council such information, and recommend such
measures, as the interests of the city shall, in his
judgment, demand.
In accordance with this requirement, and follow-
ing the custom of my predecessors, I will briefly
present to you such information in regard to the
condition of our city, in its various departments, as
I have been enabled to obtain, and will make such
suggestions and recommendations as seem at this
time to be advisable.
Let me first call your attention to the bountiful
manner in which a kind Providence has blessed
our beautiful city during the past year, and the
great benefits we have derived from His constant
care over us. How peculiarly fitting it is that we
have sought His divine guidance before entering
upon the work that is before us, thus giving a
public recognition of our dependence upon Him
and His great goodness toward us.
We have been elected by our fellow-citizens to
responsible positions, and have taken upon our-
selves solemn ol^ligations faithfully to perform the
duties devolving upon us. I urge that we at once
devote our time and attention to acquiring all
19
290 CITY OF CONCORD.
needed information in regard to city affairs and
the work to come before us, so that both in our
public deliberations, and in our connnittee service,
we shall be prepared to do our work intelligently.
We are fortunate in having in the council some
gentlemen whose previous experience in city affairs
qualifies them to render us much assistance. Oth-
ers of you, who come here for the first time, bring
with you the knowledge gained in successful lousi-
ness transactions, which has, no doubt, fitted you
for what will come before us here.

HIGHWAYS.
From the report of the Commissioner of High-
ways I gather the following statistics :
Appropriations for highways for 1888, $22,000.00
Rec'd from collections from sundry
sources ...... 154.00
Rec'd from street sprinkling subscrip-
tions 985.00

Rec'd on acc't concrete collections . 1,237.16
,876.16
292 CITY OF CONCORD.
Total expenditures, $28,284.06.
An increase over 1887 of 17,085.29.
An excess of expenditures of $1,407.90.
The increase of expenditures in this department
arises largely from the extraordinary expense of
building the heavy stone wall and culvert near the
entrance to Blossom Hill cemetery, the laying of
the sidewalks about the government building, and
the unusual amount of snow, which seriously
blocked the highways during the winter of 1887-
'88. This latter item of expense caused an increase
of nearly $1,400 in the Central district alone, and
also a considerable increase in the " outside dis-
tricts."
The system of subdivision of the expenses of
this department into districts has been continued
this year, so that a very intelligent idea of the work
of the commissioner may be obtained at a glance.
Notwithstanding all that has been expended on
our streets and highways during the past year,
many demands will undoubtedly be made for much
more needed work this year.
As we read the commissioner's report, we can
realize in some degree the magnitude of the work
which he has to do, in order that the appropriation
which can be allowed this department may be
properly distributed in the various districts so as
best to satisfy their needs and demands.
I invite your attention to his recommendation in
regard to the necessity of building a new bridge
in place of the present Free bridge, so called, at a
near future time. I^othing will be gained by de-
mayoh's addrkss. 293
laying the consideration of this subject; and if,
upon investigation, you should decide to do some-
thing this year, I would suggest that the matter
be placed in the hands of a committee, so that
proper time can be taken for a full consideration,
and an early report may be made to the city coun-
cil. I am in favor of continuing, each year, the
work of Macadamizing our streets as rapidly as is
consistent with other needed highway expenses.
I believe such streets to be cheaper in the end for
our city, and the limited and decreasing quantity of
gravel is thus available for use in other places.
The streets in the Penacook district will require
considerable attention this year, their condition
being such as to need extended repairs on account
of the laying of the sewers last year. We shall
have the hearty support of our citizens in liberal
appropriations for streets.
SEWERS AISTD DEAESfS.
The expenses of sewer construction in the centre
precinct last year were $4,526.47, and the appro-
priation w^as $3,070, which, added to the surplus
from 1887, more than met the expenditure.
Our system of sewerage has been so far com-
pleted that a moderate appropriation, which can
easily be carried, made annually for a few years,
will soon supply each street in the precinct. There
are some of our streets which will require our early
attention, and I ask that the usual appropriation be
made for continuing this work. I need not stop to
discuss the importance of good sewers to our city,
294 CITY OP CONCORD.
but simply urge your careful consideration of the
subject, as I believe the question of proper drainage
to be of vital interest to us all. It is very neces-
sary that all our people have correct ideas in this
regard, that the best possible results may be ob-
tained and dangers avoided. The new regulation
compelling abuttors to enter the sewer seems to
be a move in the right direction; and this regu-
lation, and those of the board of health in regard
to the sewers, should be impartially enforced. We
shall get very much nearer perfection in this mat-
ter when a more thorough supervision is established
and enforced in plumbing our buildings and in
connecting them with the sewer.
My attention has been called to the need of
sewers in West Concord. Water from Penacook
lake has been so generally introduced there, that
ultimately some plan of sewerage must be adopted;
and whenever there is a general request from that
village for a sewer precinct, I would recommend
its favorable consideration.
STREET LIGHTS.
Our streets are, at the present time, lighted by
means of seventeen electric lights and one hundred
and eighty-seven gas-lights — an increase of five
gas-lights during the past year. The electric lights
have generally given satisfaction, and our citizens
would be imwilling to have them discontinued. I
regret that the excessive cost of everything con-
nected with the production of electric lights, by
methods now employed, gives us but little hope of
mayor's address. 295
their general introduction at present. It is for
you to determine how many of them we can afford.
Some complain that our gas-lights are extin-
guished too early, and that our lamps are not light-
ed on all dark nights. Under the present arrange-
ment with the Gas-Light Company, the city pays
$16 per annum for each lamp, on the basis of twen-
ty nights per month, burning until eleven o'clock;
and on all other dark nights it furnishes gas at the
same rate per hour. If the gas were burned an
hour later, it would increase the expense more than
$500 per year. With the extra money now appro-
priated on account of the electric lights, I hardly
think it would be advisable to increase to any con-
siderable extent the expenditure for gas lights.
We may, however, be able to arrange with the
Gas-Light Company for a moderate extension of
the time of lighting, on satisfactory terms.
Each electric light costs f 100 per annum, and
burns every night until twelve o'clock.
Appropriation for gas-hghts for 1888 . |3,500.00

Appropriation for electric lights for 1888 . $2,000.00

STREET SPIIEN'KLIN&.
For an account of the work and expenditures in
this department, I would refer you to the Street
Commissioner's report, in which are included his
suggestions in regard to a sprinkling precinct.
Many of our citizens, Avho do not now enjoy the
advantages of a sprinlder, are asking for it; but
296 CITY OF CONCORD.
under the present arrangement it is difficult to sup-
ply them.
ASSESSORS.
I need not say that the Board of Assessors occu-
pies a very responsible position in the work of the
city government. It should be composed of men
who have accurate judgment of property values,
combined with unswerving fidelity. The city coun-
cil has the duty of raising and appropriating money
for the requirements of the city, but yours, gentle-
men of the board of assessors, is the duty of esti-
mating values, upon which the necessary taxes are
assessed.
Your best efforts will be required, that the bur-
den of taxation may be as equitably distributed as
possible. Any plans or suggestions that may aid
in giving greater efficiency to this department
will meet with my hearty cooperation.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
There has been raised and appropriated for
schools and school-houses of our city the past year,
including the literary fund and the dog tax, the
sum of $41,416.74:, which does not include the un-
expended appropriations made by Union School-
District for school-houses.
The increasing interest manifested in all matters
pertaining to education is a very encouraging indi-
cation of the character of our citizens. Our tax-
payers do not object to any necessary increase of
expenditures for schools. As indicating the earn-
estness and liberality of our citizens in the past, I
mayor's address. 297
would refer you to the fact, that between Jan. 1,
1857, and Jan. 1, 1889, there has been raised m
this city for schools and school-houses the enor-
mous sum of more than one million dollars. Re-
membering this, it need not surprise us that Con-
cord schools have become so popular, and have
attracted so many of the best families of our state
Avithin our borders, in order that their children might
enjoy the superior advantages which our schools
afford. Wliile the management of the schools
does not come under our direct control, it is our
privilege to assist in many ways those who have
the work to do.
PUBLIC LIBRARY.
It is with pleasure that I call your attention to
our Public Library, for during the past year the
city has received a most munificent gift in the
Fowler Library Building. This much needed edi-
fice was presented by AYilliam P. and Clara M.
Fowler, as a memorial of their parents, Hon. Asa
and Mary C. K. Fowler, who were fifty years resi-
dents of this city. It has been given us under the
most liberal provisions, with the earnestly expressed
wish that the citizens of Concord would consider
that they each have an ownership in it, and make it
their literary home, to come and go, to sit and read
in, at their pleasure. The building is beautiful in
design and conveniently located, and the generous
donors will ever be held in grateful remembrance
by the large and increasing number of patrons who
enjoy its privileges. I am sure we shall be glad to
298 CITY OF CONCORD.
indicate our high appreciation of this valuable gift,
hy a liberal appropriation for maintaining and en-
larging this already valuable library.
It is claimed that the intelligence of a community
can be as accurately jndged by the patronage given
its public library as by the interest manifested in
its schools. It certainly can be made a powerful
assistant of the school.
The control of the library is in the hands of a
board of trustees, chosen from among our citizens,
who have with much fidelity looked after its inter-
ests in the past. The library is now positively free
to all our people, and few of us, probably, realize
the amount of work done there by our librarian,
and the great demand for books. Its catalogues
embrace valuable works of history, biography,
science, art, religion, politics, agriculture, poetry,
and fiction, for the mechanic, the farmer, the
scholar, and the professional man. It is most im-
portant that not only should there be a sufficient
number of books to meet the present demand, but,
also, that the trustees should be enabled to pur-
chase additional books of such a character as will
meet the progressive requirements of our intelli-
gent reading community.
Last year, the appropriation for the library was
|3,000, which, added to the interest on trust funds
and other receipts, amounted to $3,237.89. The
trustees will need more money this year to meet all
the changed conditions. More books will be re-
quired, on account of the greater demand therefor.
There will be an increased outlay for fuel, lights, and
MAYOU'S ADDRESS. 299
clerk hire, and no receipts from cards, the Ul)rary
now being- free. I find they are needing some
shelves, tables, and other articles for the proper
care of the books, and for the convenience of the
patrons. The library contains about 7,500 volumes,
in a condition suitable for use ; and probably more
than 2,000 of them are distributed to-day in our
families. The circulation has increased about twen-
ty-five per cent, each year since Jan. 1, 1885.
Last December's report shows a circulation of
7,500, an increase of 100 per cent, over the same
month in the preceding year. Undoubtedly the
new building has attracted some people who will
not continue, but we may well count upon a per-
manent increase of patrons.
I learn from our efficient librarian, Daniel F.
Secomb, that since the opening of the library in
1854 it has received from all sources $39,437.89,
the city contributing nearly $31,000.
In estimating some of the future advantages of
the new building, it may be interesting to know
that the sum of $4,400 has been paid for rents of
rooms used for library purposes since Jan. 1, 1876.
We cannot, at this time, accurately determine
the annual appropriation that will be necessary for
conducting the library. So many changes have
been made, as we have before suggested, that the
present year must be an experimental one. We
must do all that we can reasonably afibrd this year,
in the way of improvements there, and another
year we shall have a more definite idea as to its
needs and requirements.
300 CITY OF CONCORD.
HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
The management of this department is in charge
of a board of health, organized in 1886, which is
doing excellent work; and it is of vital importance
that it have onr continued support and the hearty
cooperation of every individual in our city.
I desire to call the special attention of every one
to the reports of the Board of Health, the Health
Officer, and the City Physician, as they contain
information, suggestions, and recommendations of
too much importance to be neglected, or carelessly
read and thrown aside. We shall be convinced,
after examining them, that the good work was not
too early begun.
I can include in this address only a few of their
valuable suggestions, but I would particularly call
your attention to their remarks in regard to the
cai'eless disposition of rubbish and filth ; to the pre-
vailing habit of dumping ashes upon our streets;
to the pollution of natural water- and ice-supplies;
also, to their recommendation for a more careful
supervision of our sewers, Avhich they accompany
with a mild suggestion that we show less business
sagacity in caring for our large property interests
in our sewers, than we do in the excellent care of
our water- works.
They also call our attention to the careless man-
ner in which our streets are left by some who have
occasion to dig them up; to the law in regard to
fire-escapes on our buildings; to the condition of
the "lobby;" also, to the City hosj^ital, with a
reconmiendation that an ambulance be purchased,
mayok's address. 301
and located in some central place for the use
of the police or fire department in conveying
injured or sick persons to their homes or to the
hospital.
I am convinced that the appropriations of last
year were judiciously expended, and would recom-
mend that the same be continued this year for their
regular work, with a small additional sum, if need-
ed, for the special work of investigation in other
cities, contemplated last year.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The general good condition that has character-
ized our fire department still exists, and Ave can
refer with much satisfaction to the high character
of its members, the excellent condition of the appa-
ratus, and the continued interest manifested by all
connected with it for the best results. Certainly,
no other department merits our continued encour-
agement more than this. We should not forget
that we are having the services of our best citizens
at a moderate cost.
During the past year two new fire-alarm bells
have been purchased. One is hung in a tower
erected near Jackson street, the other in the tower
at the Central fire-station. This tower has been built
ten feet higher for this purpose, and it is hof)ed
that with these bells the fire alarms can be generally
heard throughout the compact portion of the city.
Various improvements have been made in the
fire-stations during the past year: The Alert Hose
Company's house on Washington street has been
302 CITY OF CONCORD.
enlarged, a new and commodious station at West
Concord nearly completed, and a furnace put into
the Good Will Hose Company's house on South
State street.
It is not expected that any new buildings or ex-
tensive repairs will be required this season in this
department. Some alterations and improvements
are needed at the Good Will house, and a small
appropriation will be necessary to complete the
house at West Concord. The chief-engineer rec-
ommends the purchase of 2,000 feet of hose ; and I
ask your attention to his suggestion about exchang-
ing some old hose-carriages and reels for new and
lighter hose-wagons.
POLICE.
Our present police force consists of one city
marshal, one assistant city marshal, and four reg-
ular patrolmen and night-watch. There is also a
numerous special force; and there has been organ-
ized during the past year a uniformed squad of
fifteen members. The expense of maintaining this
department has been $7,399.77.
During the past year City Marshal Connell, who
had faithfully discharged the duties of the office
for more than seventeen years, retired from the
force on account of ill-health. Our present city
marshal recommends an increase of our regular
police force, and such an increase has also been
demanded by many of our best citizens, who claim
that portions of our city are unprotected. Were
our present force increased by two men, it would
mayor's address. 303
then be much smaller than is usually employed in
cities of this size. I would not object to a mod-
erate increase of the patrolmen. Our present city
ordinances require that the police be appointed and
designated as night police and day police. I would
recommend that the ordinances be so changed that
om* whole police force may be appointed without
being specially designated for day or for night
service, leaving that matter for the chief of police
and city marshal to arrange as they deem best for
the interests of the city.
We should exercise great care in the selection
of our regular police officers, remembering that
their value cannot always be determined by the
number of arrests made. They should be men of
such firmness and courage, combined with sound
judgment, correct habits, and courteous and gentle-
manly deportment, as will connnand the respect of
the careless, or even the evil disposed, without an
unnecessary exercise of force.
"We should also avoid changes in this depart-
ment, unless for good and sufficient reasons, its
work being of such a peculiar nature that frequent
changes would seriously impair the efficiency of
the force. We should also exercise the same care
in the selection of our special police. I know that
their services are seldom required, but I believe
that we should allow no man to walk up and down
our streets clothed with authority to wear a police-
man's badge, who does not possess the proper char-
acter and other qualifications worthily to represent
our city in this department.
304 CITY OF CONCORD.
The uniforming of our patrolmen has met with
universal approval, and will doubtless be continued.
The special squad organized during the past year,
which has done escort and other duty in this city
and elsewhere, has won the hearty favor of all, at
home and abroad, by its gentlemanly bearing and
excellent deportment.
CITY BUILDEN^G.
The matter of a new city building has often been
considered by previous city governments, and sev-
eral plans have been proposed for supplying what I
consider some very urgent needs of the city. The
building familiarly known as the " lobby," l^uilt
many years ago for temporary use only, is still the
only place we have for the brief detention of crim-
inals, and for lodging those Avhose only fault i&
poverty. I earnestly recommend that some plan be
devised whereby this unsightly and unsuitable
building be replaced by one better adapted to
modern ideas of decency and humanity.
It has been suggested that we dispose of our
interest in the present city hall property, and build
a new building in some central location, on a large
and liberal plan, commodious enough to contain the
needed city offices and halls, and in style similar to*
those usually found in large towns and cities. It
seems to me that any plan that could possibly be
made in that direction would involve too great an
expense to be undertaken at the present, or any
near future, time. I would, hoAvever, urge for your
early consideration the advisability of erecting up-
mayor's address. 305"
on the Warren street lot, now owned by the city, a
building* of suitable dimensions for the accommoda-
tion of the many city of&ces now rented in various
scattered localities on our streets; also, to include
a lobby for the detention of criminals, and for tem-
porary lodgings for some that can have no other
shelter.
It seems to me that it could be built at an outlay
which would be advisable, in the interests of econ-
omy, in view of the large rentals now paid by the
city.
OLD CON^CORD EECOEDS.
Last year the sum of five hundred dollars was
added to the regular appropriation for printing, for
the purpose of copying, indexing, and printing the
early records of Concord; but, the appropriation
having been exhausted before the matter was
reached, it had to be postponed. Two old and
much worn volumes, now in the hands of the city
clerk, contain the only records of our city from
1725 to 1748, and from 1766 to 1821. These being
without index of any Idnd, and intermixed with
other less important papers, their value for refer-
ence is much lessened. The plan of the committee
having the matter in charge was to have these rec-
ords carefully copied, retaining their original spell-
ing, classified, rearranged, and indexed by some
competent person, and a sufficient number of copies
printed to supply our state, city, and historical
libraries, besides offering for sale such other copies
as might be wanted. The sale of these extra cop-
20

ies would, to a considerable extent, reimburse the
city for the cost. I am informed that these records
contain the original laying out of most of the old
highways of the city.
It seems to be very important that the old legal
records of Concord be j^ut in some durable form
for preservation.

It is generally admitted that a certain amount of
alcohol and other intoxicating liquors is necessary
for medicinal, mechanical, and other uses; if so,
there should be a place where legal sales can be
made for these purposes, conducted under such
careful regulations that patrons may be reasonably
sure of getting pure liquors. I would urge that
liquor agents be under your constant supervision,
and required to conform to the exact conditions of
the laws, also to make regular reports to the board
of mayor and aldermen as often as you may deem
advisable.

TEMPER AI^CE.
The illegal sale of spirituous liquors has gener-
ally been referred to in addresses of this sort, and
honest and earnest efforts have undoubtedly been
made for its suppression or control; but all such
efforts have been confronted by some difficulties.
We must expect similar annoyances. I trust, how-
ever, that we may labor with such wisdom and
firmness as to accomplish something of positive
value and importance in the interests of temper-
ance.
It is a fact, generally conceded by thoughtful
and candid men, that the prohibitory laws of our
state cannot be as easily enforced as most of the
other criminal laws. Evidence is not as cheerfully
furnished, even by good citizens, in liquor prosecu-
tions as in other cruninal cases. It is undoubtedly
the duty of every citizen to assist in maintaining
every law on our statute books, and he commits a
great wrong when he neglects to do so; but we
have to consider facts as they exist, and until our
actions can be reinforced by a steady public senti-
ment which will aid us in a full and complete
enforcement of these laws, we shall not be able to
do thorough work.
The laws of the state and city must be our guide
in all of our actions in this regard ; our success in
their enforcement will be modified by the circum-
stances hereinbefore stated.
We must expect criticism, and even censure, in
dealing with this unpleasant business, but as the
responsibility will rest largely upon us, we must be
308 CITY OF CONCOKI).
allowed to work in our own way: hence we may
not feel warranted in adopting all the methods that
om* friends may suggest. Our intentions cannot
be misunderstood, if we do the best we can in the
circumstances as we know them.
It is hoped that no one will expect to pursue this
ungodly and illegal traffic within our borders un-
molested.
REAL ESTATE.
The city now owns land situated on Warren,
School, and Centre streets, west of Pine street,
bought many years ago for the gravel banks it
contained. The gravel has since been used on our
streets, and the city derives but little income from
the land at the present time. I Avould recommend
that it be sold to those who will erect upon it good
dwellings or other suitable buildings within a rea-
sonable time, reserving enough land about the city
store-house and sheds to accommodate all probable
needs. Such an arrangement would in part repay
the city for the original purchase, and would, I
believe, result in the increase of taxable property
within our borders.
CEMETERIES.
The work of improving Blossom Hill cemetery,
according to plans adopted, was begun during the
past year, and the committee ask for the usual
appropriation for the continuation of the work.
I have attempted to give only a hasty glance at
the more prominent departments of our city, calling
mayor's address. 309
your attention to some of our apparent wants.
These and other matters will come more formally
before us as time progresses, when, I trust, we shall
have a better knowledge of our nnuiicipal aifairs.
Many perplexing problems will arise, and oftentimes
we may find ourselves unable to give financial aid
and encouragement to objects that really need our
help. I urge that we practise the closest economy
in all of our expenditures, consistent with a safe
and progressive policy. You will all agree with
me, that unless some unforeseen demand arises we
ought to practise rigidly the " pay as you go " sys-
tem, and the question of a " surplus " need not
cause us any anxiety should we find ourselves at
the close of the year with some unexpended balances
in the different departments.
Let us remember that we are the servants of the
whole people of our city, and that the claims of the
humblest citizen are entitled to our prompt and
thoughtful consideration.
We must sometimes expect criticism, even upon
those measures we think most worthy of approval.
This often arises from a misconception of the facts,
or it may occur because public interests have been
considered rather than private demands. Your
fellow-citizens will only ask that you conduct the
business of the city on those same correct, common-
sense principles that you are accustomed to employ
in the conduct of your own afi'airs, and with that
economy in every detail that is necessary to suc-
cess.
I need only remind you that harmony in our
310 CITY OF CONCORD.
deliberations, and promptness in our attendance at
all meetings, are of the utmost importance.
My effort will be cheerfully and earnestly to
execute the laws of our state and city, and your
will, as it may hereafter be expressed; and to per-
form all the other duties of my office in a manner
that will, I hope, meet the reasonable expectations
of all.
In order that I may have a more accurate knowl-
edge of the condition and requirements of our city,
I earnestly solicit the kind advice and suggestions
of my fellow-citizens.
