"WATER DEPARTMENT. 133
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
To the Cit>j Council :
The Board of Water Commissioners submit berewitli tlieir
report for tlie year ending December 31, 1892.
Your attention is respectfully called to the report of the
superintendent for the details of maintenance and construction.
The works show a steady increase in receipts, and the cost of
maintenance remains about the same. The 3'ear has been one
of importance in this department, and the work undertaken in
1891 has.been completed with, thus far, satisfactory results.
The work on the "High Service" has occupied the attention
of the board, and a committee from the members of the board
was chosen to have direct supervision together with the super-
intendent. The committee consisted of George A. Young,
Willis D.Thompson, and William P. Fiske, and they have given
much time and attention to the details of the work. The work
has with but one or two exceptions been done by contract, and
has been done satisfactorily. The pipe laying was completed
under the contract of Mr. C. H. Eglee early in the summer,
and has thus far proved satisfactory. The superintendent in
his report has given a detailed report of the pipe laid, which
will be seen to have covered the most exposed parts of our city
with pipe sufficient in size to meet all the requirements for
years to come.
PUMPING STATION.
The pumping station, together with the coal-shed, shop, and
stable, have been erected during the year, the foundation for
the pumping station having been constructed the year before.
The work was done under contract by Mr. E. B. Hutchinson,
of Concord, under the supervision of Mr. Charles S. Piper; the
134 CITY OF CONCORD.
buildings are substantinlly built, and present a very attractive
appearance. The plan of the pumping station is similar to
many of those found in other cities, and is very simple in out-
line. It has separate rooms for the pumping-engine and for
the boilers, with a deep, well-lighted basement under the engine-
room, into which the pipes are brought. The walls of the
engine-room are of brick laid in colored mortar, with a wain-
scoting of buff brick. Afire-place is constructed in one corner.
The roof of this room is supported by iron trusses and is ceiled
with Norway pine. The boiler-room is 38 by 32 feet, with
monitor roof, and is large enough for three boilers. The chim-
ney is 80 feet in height, being 12 feet square at the base, and is
connected with the boiler room with a 36-inch wrought-iron flue.
The entire cost of this plant is $20,030.17. A track has been
laid into the grounds from the main line of the Concord &
Claremont division of the Boston & Maine Railroad, which will
enable a better handling of coal and transportation of necessary
supplies to the buildings. A system of pipes is laid just out-
side the foundation of the station, with gates so arranged as to
provide a full and easy control of the mains from the lake at
this point.
PUMPING MACHINERY.
The committee, after careful consideration and examination
of the different makes of pumps, and visits to quite a number
of pumping stations, finally awarded the contract for the pump-
ing-engine to Henry R. Worthington, of New York city, for the
sum of S9,200.
The pump is a "Worthington triple expansion condensing
pumping-engine," with a surface condenser, an independent
air pump, cast-iron hot well, with suction air chamber, together
with all the necessary appurtenances.
There are two high pressure steam cylinders, 9 inches in diam-
eter ; two intermediate steam cylinders, 14 inches in diameter;
two low pressure steam cylinders, 22 inches in diameter ; two
double-acting water-plungers, 12 inches in diameter, all of 18
inches stroke. It is placed upon solid brick piers resting upon
a solid foundation of cement and brick, and is bolted thereto.
The water is taken from the 14-inch main into the pump under
WATER DEPARTMENT. 135
pressure, through a surface condenser, and is then forced into
the reservoir through a 20-inch pipe.
The pumping- engine has not yet been delivered to the city,
but is being completed, and will soon be tested in accordance
with the contract, and the duty guaranteed will be accomplished
before the acceptance.
The duty of the pumping-eugiue was tliat " the engine will
be capable of delivering, when properly supplied with water,
2,000,000 United States gallons of water in twenty-four hours,
when running at a piston speed not exceeding 125 feet per min-
ute, when furnished with ah effective steam pressure of not less
than 100 pounds per square inch at the engine, and will deliver
this quantity against a total load (including suction) on the
plungers not exceeding 83 pounds per square inch."
Two boilers, each 54 inches in diameter and 15 feet in length,
have been set in brick-work in the boiler-room, and have thus
far proved satisfactory. They furnish heat for the building
aside from the regular work.
RESERVOIR.
The contract for building the reservoir was awarded to Mr.
G. W. Hendrick, of Easthampton, Mass, Test pits were sunk
over the proposed location, and it was found that a large amount
of rock excavation would have to be made. The work of strip-
ping the land and removing the soil revealed a larger amount of
rock to be removed, more than was estimated, and upon blast-
ing it was found that what seemed to be a hard, solid granite
ledge was in fact a mass of disintegrated rock, which at once
presented serious complications. The engineer in charge
advised changes in construction ; the work was abandoned on
account of the cold weather, and nothing was done until spring
of this year. In the mean time new plans were made, under the
advice of Mr. J. Herbert Shedd, of Providence, R. I., a noted
engineer, with a complete change in shape and construction.
Mr. Hendrick was unwilling to carry on the work under the
change of plans, but was willing to dispose of his share of the
■contract, with all tools, etc. ; a settlement was readily effected,
and the work was at once carried forward more expeditiously
under our engineer-iu-charge, Mr. W. B. Fuller, of Maiden,
136 CITY OF CONCORD.
Mass., who had prepared the plans, with Mr. Shedd as con-
sulting engineer. The work has been well and thoroughly done,
and great care has been taken to make the construction the best
in every respect. The present plan gives a greater elevation,
and is much more symmetrical.
The capacity of the reservoir is 2,000,000 gallons, and will
furnish the supply for what is to be designated in our system
as the " High Service." The results already shown from a
partial trial of it give every reason of a success of the under-
taking.
A substantial fence has been constructed around the top of
"the reservoir, giving space for a walk outside. The sides are
to be grassed over, and everything will be done to protect and
preserve the place.
The grounds occupied for the site of the reservoir contain
about nine acres, and as they are improved from time to time
will offer an opportunity of much pleasure for those who visit
them, for the view from this spot of the surrounding country
and the valley of the Merrimack is unsurpassed.
PENACOOK LAKE.
The commissioners have realized the importance of protect-
ing the water-supply from all sources of pollution, and, with
that end in view, have secured by purchase about seventy-five
acres of land bordering on the lake. More should be done in
this line, and eventually the city should own and control all the
land bordering the shores of said lake.
INTAKE.
It has been evident for some time that an extension of the
conduit into the lake would improve the quality of the water
and facilitate the draught when the lake is low. In fact, when
the works were built it was the intention of the designing engi-
neer to so extend the intake from the gate-house ; and in the
winter of 1872-'73 soundings were taken in the lake for that
purpose ; but high water came on in the spring, and the con-
duit was built no farther than the upper gate-house just below
the old dam. A number of years ago a saw-mill was located
WATKK DKrAUTMENT. 137
just above the dam on the northerly shore, and there accunui-
hited fiom one to three feet of sawdust. In times of low water
this sawdust and the remains of the old dam were so near the
surface, and the water around the gate-house was so shallow,
that a strong south-west wind would stir it up and blow the
sawdust directly into the intake. In 1880 the water here was
so shallow that it was necessary to cut a channel through the
dam to allow the water to reach the conduit ; moreover, animal
and vegetable growth flourish best in such shallows, and are
easily drawn down to the screens. Under such circumstances
it seemed necessary to extend the conduit over this accumula-
tion of sawdust and waste into deeper water, and the low condi-
tion of the lake this summer offei-ed a favorable opportunity for
the work.
FINANCIAL.
In April of the present year $200,000 of 6 per cent, water-
bonds matured, and these were taken care of by an issue of
S200,000 of 4 per cent, bonds, dated January 1, 1892, running
thirt}^ years ; an additional issue of S200,000 of 4 per cent.,
thirty years bonds, of the same date, was also made in accord-
ance with the ordinance passed by your body. These have
been sold at an advance above their par value, yielding a hand-
some income.
The bonded debt of the work will be $075,000, with an annual
interest payment of $28,400 until the years 1894 and 1895,
when, by refunding the bonds now bearing a higher rate of
interest, it will be reduced by about $3,000. It is expected
that the revenue from the work, besides the cost for all main-
tenance and necessary extensions, will be sufficient to establish
a sinking fund to take care of bonds maturing in the years fol-
lowing 1895.
It is a matter of great gratification that the commissioners
have been able to settle with the Concord Manufacturing Com-
pany, by which the company relinquish all their right and title
in the waters of Penacook lake for the sum of $80,000, thus
giving the city the absolute control of their water-supply. This
matter has long been under consideration, and no little anxiety
138 CITY OF CONCOKD.
has been felt as to the outcome of it, for the large quantity of
water used by our citizens would necessitate a larger supply to
meet the demands in the near future. This we confidently
expect will for many years give an ample supply of water.
Our water-supply has been called into question during the
fall, with statements of the impurity of the water. This has
caused many people to be alarmed. During the fall, on account
of the low condition of the lake and the necessary work upon
the intake, much sediment has found its way through the pipes,
and caused some inconvenience ; but the record of twenty years'
use of the water is suflHcient to establish the quality of water as
good, if not superior to ixny supply of pond water in New Eng-
land.
We have caused analyses to be made, and they will be found
below, together with a report by Professor Angell, which we
feel sure will satisfy all fair-minded people as to the purity of
the supply.
Our superintendent, Mr. Hastings, has been untiring in the
multiplied duties and responsibilities placed upon him during
the construction of this new work, and he has proved himself
equal to the task, and much credit is due to him in the success-
ful completion of the high service extension.
All of which is respectfully submitted :

wliicli was 0.68 feet lower than (luring the year 1891. The
record for December 31 was eight tenths of a foot lower than
at an\' time since the lake has been used as a water-supply ;
two days later, however, a rain storm raised the lake one foot,
so that at present the water is about the level of the winter of
1880-81.
The low water has afforded an ext-ellent o|)portunity for clear-
ing the shores of the lake, and this work, which was l)eguu in
1891, has l)een continued at intervals during the year and has
been completed, except a small ])ortion on the northerly side.
HIGH SERVICE.
The new high service system is practically completed, and has
been put in partial operation. In connection with this work,
several new features were introduced this year, which, while not
directly included in the system, seemed to be necessary for its
best operation, notably, the extension of the conduit and the
construction of a shop and a stable on the pumping-station
grounds. Below is the construction .account of the high service
system and the extension of the intake, also the land and water
damages for the past year.

Work on the reservoir was resumed in April. Owing to
changes in form and construction, the contract with George W.
Hendrick was annulled, and the work was carried on by the
water-works, under the direct supervision of William B. Fuller,
C E., of Maiden, Mass. It is now completed excepting the
gi'ading, which will be finished in the spring. Water was let
into it on the third day of December, and we are satisfied that
it is a model reservoir, both in design and construction.
The work of laying pipe and setting gates and hydrants by
Mr. Charles H. Eglee was finished early in the season, and was
very satisfactory ; it was carried on with dispatch and thorough-
ness, and it was evident that Mr. Eglee was the right man in
the right place.
Pipes were laid, and gates aiad hydrants set, as follows :
In Penacook street^
from pump to reservoir, 2,930 feet 20-inch pipe and 2
hydrants.
In reservoir,
240 feet 24-inch pipe.

The contract for the stable, shop, and coal-house was let to
INIr. E. B. Hutchinson, which is a guarantee in itself that they
are well and substantially built. A suitable workshop and
store-room have been needed for some time, and will be of great
convenience in the care of the works. Only a portion of the
grounds have been graded, but when in the condition in which
we trust that next season will place them, the whole set of build-
ings will present a very creditable appearance.
The 30-inch brick conduit has been extended 270 feet into the
lake, according to your directions ; the water is introduced through
three brass castings near the end, each pierced with 370 holes,
one and one half inches in diameter. Owing to the low water,
we could not supply the city from the lower gate-house, Init
were obliged to take the water at the upper gate-house, near
where the work was going on ; this roiled the water more or
WATER DEPARTMENT. 153
less during the extenaion, and with the limited draught at this
point, we could not flush the system and clear the pipes of this
sediment until after all the work was done.
RECOMMENDATIONS .
We need a better system of screenage for the water-supply ;
this would necessitate another gate-house below the dam, and I
would recommend the construction of such a building where the
final screening should be done ; thus the water would pass first
through the one and one half inch openings of the brass castings
at the end of the intake, next through half-inch screens at the
lower gate-house, and finally through quarter-inch and eighth-
inch screens at the proposed gate-house.
Moreover, this new gate-house should be built so as to pro-
vide a separate well or compartment for the Penacook main and
for the main that supplies the pump, so that a heavy draught on
any one of the several mains would not atfect the others.
Since we have supplied the higli service district from the res-
ervoir, it has become evident that the pressure is too great for
the pipe now in use in some localities, and we have had serious
trouble with leaks in certain streets, notably in Pine street,
where the pipe was struck by lightning a few years ago and thus
weakened. 1 would therefore recommend that in certain por-
tions of this district the cement-lined pipe be replaced by cast-
iron.
I have had analyses made of the water of Penacook lake,
according to your instructions ; Professor Angell's report,
together with the analyses, is appended to this, and shows the
water to be of the same good quality as when the first analysis
was made twenty years ago ; and certainly we are to be con-
gratulated upon possessing one of the finest natural water sup-
plies in New England.
Respectfully submitted :
V. C. HASTINGS,
Superintendent.

WATER DEPARTMENT. 155
REPORT BY PROF. E. R. ANGELL.
Derry, N. H., Jan. 12, 1893.
Mr. V. C. Hastings,
Superintendent Concord Water- Works :
Dear Sir, — I have^made a very careful anah'sis of the three
samples of water which you sent me from Penacook lake. The
results demonstrate beyond question the purity and excellence
of the water.
There is a remarkable agreement in the results given by these
samples taken at such different points ; the uniformly good
quality of the water is further corroborated by a recent analysis
of a sample taken from the pipes at St. Paul's School.
Experience establishes truth. No general ill effects from the
use of this water can be alleged. The conditions caused by
man which surround the lake and its tributaries are, probably,
the same as they have been for a period of years, and certainly
the natural conditions by which the lake is supplied with water
have not changed. These facts are a good guaranty of the con-
tinued purity and healthfulness of the water. Its excellence is
apparent also from comparison with other waters used for public
supply.
The analyses show that the organic nitrogen and carbon are
small in_quantity. Briefl3', every result is favorable.

PURITY OF WATER SUPPLY.

The State of New Hampshire,
State Board of Health,
Concord, N. H., Jan. 20, 1893.
W. P. FisKE, Esq.,
President Concord Water Board, Concord, N. H.
Dear Sir, — Yonr favor of this date, inclosing the report of
Prof. E, R. Angell, dated Jan. 12, 1893, upon the analysis of
three samples of water from Penacook lake, and asking if any-
thing more could be done to establish the fact of the purity of
the water-supply of the cit}' of Concord, is at hand.
In reply, I would say that I have carefully examined the
report, as well as that of other analyses made at different times,
and I do not hesitate to say that, in my opinion, it is entirely
unnecessary to seek any further evidence of the healthfulnesa
of the water-supply of this city.
The very low amount of total solids, with a relatively small
quantity of nitrogenous matter, places this lake in the front
rank of potable waters, and in this respect it is far superior to that
which supplies many of the cities of this country, even among the
list of those possessing healthful waters. Infusoria are found in
all lake waters and are believed to be entirely harmless. Bacte-
ria are likewise always present, more or less, and, excepting
disease-producing germs, which are only introduced through
sewage, or some other sanitary neglect, are regarded as not in-
imical to health.
The city should regard itself as exceedingly fortunate in pos-
sessing such an excellent water, and if a rigid and watchful
sanitary supervision is exercised over the lake and its surround-
ing water-shed, I believe that no question need arise as to the
healthfulness of the water furnished from this lake to the peo-
ple of Concord.
Very truly yours,
[Signed] IRVING A. WATSON,
Secretary.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF HIGHWAYS.
During the past year Sewall's Falls bridge has been shingled
at an expense of $180.00, also the Twin bridge at Penacook at
an expense of S270.00. The iron bridge at East Concord has
been painted at an expense of $145.00.
The culvert at Willow Hollow has been extended about thirty
feet east and a fill of about 1,200 yards put in ; and Main street
at Penacook lias been widened, the expense being $1,200.00,
and a large fill at the new bridge in the Borough.
Pillsbury street, running west from Turn[)ike street, near the
Margaret Pillsbury Hospital, has been built, and also a number
of short streets have been graded.
These will furnish desirable lots upon which to erect dwellings.
The bank on tlie east side of the river, just above the lower
bridge, has been rubbled. A good job has been done there, and,
with a small amount expended each year in the future, the bank
can be preserved from being washed away by the spring
freshets.
I would recommend the relaying of the stone pavement for
the whole distance that it occupies on North Main street. It has
been dug up so many times during the past few years that it is
impossible to repair it in a satisfactory manner without relay-
ing it.
I hope the board of aldermen will take some action the pres-
ent year in regard to the paving of Bridge street from its
junction with North Main street to the bridge over the railroad
tracks. The muddy condition of the sti'eet at that point seems
to require it. I would also call the attention of the board to
the condition of the Free bridge. It has been built about forty-
three years and it is doubtful if it can be repaired with economy.
It is my opinion that it should be replaced at once by a new
168
CITY OF CONCORD.
structure. The piers and abutments are probably in a good
condition, and the expense of rebuilding would be materially
lessened on that account.
I recommend the purchase of a new street sweeper, as the
one in use is nearly worn out. There ought also to be one, if
not two, new street spriniilers procured. The tub sprinkler has-
been in service for a number of years and ought to be replaced
by a new one. And another new sprinkler could be used to
advantage on some of the streets where, on account of a lack of
sprinklers we have been unable to go. There were twenty-nine
streets sprinkled the past season, and the calls that are annually
made for more sprinkling can only be met by having more
sprinklers to do the work. The month of December last was a
very favorable one for our highway department on account of
the light fall of snow, and as a result a balance is left in favor
of the department for the year 1892.
Respectfully submitted,
ALFRED CLARK,
Commissioner of Highways.
There has also been paid to the city treasurer the sum of
$1,430.15 for amounts collected of abutters for their proportions
of concrete sidewalks, as follows :

During the year of 1892, Mr. Alfred Clark, commissioner of
highways, had charge of the construction of sewers in the central
wards. The South End sewer proved to be expensive ; the ground
was fuU of springs and quicksand and required lots of curbing.
The sewer committee elected by the city government are H. W.
Clapp, F. P. Quimby, Henry McFarland, John B. Dodge, Adam
P. Holden.

There is built 1,725 feet of 24-incli by 36-inch brick sewer, mak-
ing the cost per foot $3.56. The remaining portion of the sewer,
yet to be built, can be built at much less cost per foot, as the
deeper portion is now completed, and the water from the river will
not prove so much of a hindrance as it did in the fall of 1892.
The work was commenced September 7, and was carried on con-
tinuously with the exception of a few stormy days, and three days
owing to high water in the river. All work was stopped Decem-
ber 5.
I would suggest that work be commenced on the remaining por-
tion as soon as the season will permit, and in this way avoid the
fall rains, as they add materially to the expense of construction.
Respectfully yours,
W. B. HOWE.
184 CITY OF CONCORD.
WEST CONCORD SEWERAGE PRECINCT.
On petition of the inhabitants of West Concoi'd, this precinct
was formed and plans and estimates prepared by the engineer for
a sewerage system embracing the entire village.
The amount of pipe required for the woi-k, when completed, will
be nearly two and one half miles, estimated to cost, when laid and
ready to receive sewage, $17,000. An ordinance has been passed
authorizing an issue of bonds for this amount, for a sinking fund
for the payment of the same at maturity.
This season there has been laid 1,400 feet 15-inch pipe, 4,600
feet 12-inch, and 2,650 feet 10-inch. Pipe sufficient to complete
the entire sewer has been bought and is now on the gromid.
The amount of money expended for the entire amount of pipe,
and for all labor and material employed for the past season, was
$9,166.78.
ADAM P. HOLDEN,

STREET DEPARTMENT. 185
REPORT OF THE PENACOOK SEWER PRECINCT.
To the City Council :
I have the honor to report that during the past season the origi-
nal plan of the sewerage system has been completed. The total
amount of bonds issued by the city is $24,000, which is somewhat
under the original estimate.
The work done in 1892 consists of an extension of the Brook
sewer in the rear of Main street six hundred feet, constructed with
18-inch Akron sewer pipe ; eight hundred and fifty feet of lo-inch
pipe on Penacook street ; one thousand one hundred and fiity feet
of 12-incli pipe and five hundred and fifty feet of 8-inch pipe on
Rolfe street.
These extensions were built by contract by Mr. Henry MorriU,
in accordance with plans and sj^ecifications drawn by Mr. William
B. Howe.
The extremely low price of sewer pipe during the summer, and
very favorable terms on the part of the contractor for building the
sewer, were the cause of effecting a saving of about fifteen hundred
dollars from the original estimates for this part of the work, and
at the last meeting of the city council in January, bonds to that
amount were ordered canceled.
We now have a system that will probably supply the needs of the
village for several years, with a few short lines which may be called
for by the completion of new streets.
I would respectfully suggest to the citizens living upon such
streets that it will be necessary to present a petition to the city
council for such extensions, as all that was originally laid out by the
city has been completed.
I would also call the attention of those who contemplate making
connections with the public sewers to the provisions of chapter 22,
of the city ordinances, and particularly to section 15 of that chapter,
which provides '" If any person shall enter or cause to be entered
any common sewer for the purpose of drainage, or for any other
186
CITY OF CONCORD.
purpose, without the permission in writing of the committee on
sewers and drains, or shall enter such sewer or drain in a manner
different from tliat prescribed by this chapter, or shall obstruct or
iniure any common sewer, he shall, on conviction thereof, be fined
not less than ten nor more than twenty dollars for each offence."
At the time of the burning of Sanders's block, December 31,
1891 a large amount of cinders was carried into the sewer on
East Canal street, which, with the great quantity of sand from the
catch-basin on Main street, allowed to overflow into the sewer,
completely filled it and necessitated the taking up of some three
hundred feet, causing an expense of nearly four hundred dollars. I
would renew my recommendation of last year, that, if possible, more
care should be exercised by the highway department in keeping the
catch-basins free from sand.
The following is a financial statement of receipts and expenses
for the year :

PUBLIC LIBRARY.
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES.
To the City Council:
The trustees of the Public Library respectfully invite your atten
tioii to the accompanying reports of the librarian and the treasurer,
showing in detail its condition, management, and financial situa-
tion.
The very extensive circulation of books, and the very large num-
ber of people who continue to avail themselves of the advantages of
the reading-room and of the reference department, furnish the
clearest indication of the favor with which the institution is
regarded.
The action of the legislature of 1891 in the passage of an "Act
to promote the establishment and efficiency of free public libra-
ries," and the large number of towns that have taken advantage of
the legislative provisions in that respect, as well as that manifest
popularity of our own library, clearly establish the fact that such
institutions are not merely luxuries, but have become necessities
hardly less essential to the moral and the literary culture of the
peojile than the chiu'ch and the public schools.
We believe that our library contains every variety of useful and
entertaining literature. Hardly any department is unrepresented
therein to some extent.
As in every town and city, so here a large proportion of the read-
ing public indulges in light literature, such as novels and stories.
Imagination has not perished from the earth, and dull and heavy
would society become if it ever should or could ; and, therefore,
works of fancy continue to be in great demand. In this depart-
ment we have endeavored to include only wholesome and harmless
books, and we trust our endeavor has not been unsuccessful.
190 CITY OF CONCORD.
But the tastes and habits o£ life, and of study of all classes o£
men, women, and children, have been regarded in our selections.
Popular works, relating to the arts and sciences, mechanics, archi-
tecture, commerce, trade and manufactures, books of travels, ancient
and modern history, biography, poetry, philosophy, politics, and
religion, will be found upon our shelves ; and therefore business
men and professional men, farmers, mechanics, artisans, teachers,
and men and women of leisure may confidently resort to the library
with assurance of profit, education, and recreation.
The inevitable expenses of the institution (which we have endeav-
ored to restrict as much as possible) leave but a small margin of
funds for the purchase of books ; and while we are grateful for your
generosity in the past, we urgently ask that as large appropriations
for the future may be made as are consistent with other municipal
necessities.
The trustees, in behalf of the public, thankfully acknowledge the
receipt from Mr. William P. and Miss Clara M. Fowler of excel-
lent portraits of their father and mother, in memory of whom their
munificent gift of the library building was made.
The zeal, industry, and efficiency of our librarian and his assist-
ants continue to merit the highest commendation.

PUBLIC LIBRARY. 193
Eight tliousand eight hundred and sixty-one of the hooks given
out have been sent to Penacook in the care of Mr. N. S. Gale.
These hooks are exchanged on Tuesday and Friday of each week.
The reading-room, furnished with newspapers and magazines for
all classes of its patrons, has been open every day during the year,
and is well patronized.
Eight hundred books have been purchased during the year ; 79
books and 162 pamphlets, including reports of government officers,
maps illustrating the official records of the Civil War, and magazines
have been received as donations ; also catalog-ues and reports have
been received in exchange with other libraries.
We have again been kindly remembered by Mr. William P.
Fowler and Miss Clara M. Fowler in the presentation of fine por-
traits of their parents, Hon. Asa Fowler and Mrs. Mary C. K.
Fowler.
The library now contains 18,500 volumes ; — of these, 11,500 vol-
umes are books for circulation ; 2,000 volumes, including books for
reference, local history, and biography, are included in the reference
library, and the balance, made up largely of government publica-
tions, are seldom, most of them never, called for, which take up a
large amount of room on the shelves in the upper book-room and
balcony. A room should be finished and furnished in the base-
ment for their storage, and provision made for its warming and
lighting when necessary. This or some other provision for their
keeping must be made soon, as the shelves in the lower book-room
are already crowded with books of the circulating library, and the
shelves in the upper book-room and balcony are needed for the
proper accommodation of additional books for the circulating and
reference departments.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
To the City Council :
The board of health are able to again report that the past year
has been one of improvement in sanitary matters in our city. The
cooperation of citizens, — property owners and tenants, — in the work
of the board and its executive officer, has been as hearty as in the
recent previous years, which have witnessed gratifying progress
toward the goal of the best possible sanitary conditions for a city
which is higlJy favored by location, inhabited by enterprising, intel-
ligent people, and which ranks among the healthiest, as well as
most beautiful, of the smaller municipalities of the country.
THE HEALTH OFFICER.
The board learned with regret of the desire of their executive
officer, Henry A. Rowell, who had faithfully, impartially, and intel-
ligently performed his duties, to engage in a different occupation.
His successor, Charles E. Palmer, quickly mastered the responsibil-
ities and requirements of the position, and the board can truthfiilly
say that their work has in no respect suffered on account of the
necessity that an experienced officer should give place to one who
must for a time labor under the disadvantage of being new to the
position. Mr. Palmer has worked in season and out of season in
the performance of his duties, and has exhibited at all times excel-
lent judgment and a true appreciation of the responsibilities of the
work in which he is engaged. Under his supervision there can be
no backward steps in our city's sanitary management. Attention
is called to his report printed elsewhere, which bears its own wit-
ness to his industry and attention to duty.
U)8 CITY OF CONCORD.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST CHOLERA.
The prevalence o£ cholera in New York city and elsewhere led
the board to take precautionary steps in anticipation of possible
danger, and upon their recommendation an appropriation was made
for the purpose of putting the city pest-house near the camp-ground
in condition for the reception of patients in the event that it should
be needed. The appropriation was judiciously expended under the
direction of Health Officer Palmer, and by vote of the city council
the house is now under the supervision of the board of health.
CONTAGION.
Our citizens have shown a most gratifying interest the past year
in the effoi'ts of the board to limit the spread of contagious diseases.
The advantage to the community of our card of warning posted on
an infected house meets with more recognition than ever before.
Too much care cannot be exercised by the adults of the household
lest they carry contagion as they go about our streets and public
places. Books can well serve as a medium for conveying the
poisonous little scales of skin that rattle off a scarlet-fever case, and
hence all teachers should see that no schoolbooks are carried to the
school room from an infected house. It is also a question if books
should be allowed to be taken from the public library by members
of such a household. In any contagious disease the future safety
of the neighborhood depends much on the thoroughness of the fumi-
gation after convalescence has taken place. Many cases come to
the knowledge of the board where the work, through ignorance or
want of skill, has been most inefficiently performed, and often
because of the fancied security given it is worse than useless. In
all instances where the family desire it the health officer will be
pleased to attend to the details of the fumigation at no expense to
them other than the cost of the materials used, which at most is but
a trivial outlay. The board trust the public will fully avail them-
selves of the health officer's services.
PLUMBING INSPECTION.
The time has come when the board feel that they but voice the
sentiments and wishes of our most thoughtful citizens in asking that
the plumbing of the city be done subject to the approval of a com-
petent inspector. The health of a tenant's family should not be put
SANITARY DEPARTMENT. 199
in jeopardy by the penuriousness of his landlord in contracting for
only second-class work, and the householder should be protected
against his own cupidity and ignorance in putting fixtures into his
house that can but prove a source of continued expense and of sick-
ness, not only to himself, but perhaps a plague-spot to the whole
section of the city. The board feel that laws should be passed
defining the size and material of soil-pipes and how they shoidd be
ventilated ; the location of water-closets, and how supplied, trapped,
and ventilated ; the ventilation and connection of sinks, bowls, and
bath tubs to tlie soil-pipe. All new work should be tested by hav-
ing all openings plugged and the whole system filled with water to
where the soil pipe leaves the roof, or in some other satisfactory
way, in order to have positive proof that there is no improjjerly
constructed joint or cracked pipe through which may come in the
future the death-dealing sewer-gas, to strike down our loved ones.
It is certainly within the bounds of truth to say that to-day seventy-
five per cent, of the plumbing of Concord will not stand a proper
test of safety. The death of a man earning $600 per year is a
direct loss to the city of $10,000 capital ; six jjer cent, on $10,000
is $600. The death of ten such men would be as great a loss as if
$100,000 had been transferred from our midst to some more fortu-
nate city. From a financial standpoint, to say nothing of a human-
itarian one, we cannot afford to continue our present negligent way
of ignoi'ing this all-important subject. The board would, therefore,
most respectfully urge upon the city council the necessity of an
early and thorough consideration of this question of the appoint-
ment of a competent inspector of plumbing, and the enactment of
ordinances similar to those in force in many progressive cities.
LICENSED DRAIN LAYERS.
Much complaint and trouble in the past have arisen from the fact
that competent employers have allowed utterly incompetent men
to lay drain-pipes and make connections with the sewers. This
work should under no circumstances be done except by men of
experience, and it is the opinion of the board that licenses should
be granted only to competent workmen ; that no work should be
done except by such men, and that the safety of the health of our
citizens demands that this law be most strictly enforced.
200 CITY OF CONCORD.
WATER SUPPLY.
While organic matter must not be allowed to accumulate and
decay around our dwellings, the plumbing and drainage must be
made perfect, and every possible contamination of food and drink
must be guarded against. A pure water-supply is of first import-
ance in warding off preventable disease. It has been shown from
analyses by eminent authorities that the water of Penacook lake is
good, and yet it could be made better, and it is one of the hopeful
characteristics of our city, that it will never be long satisfied with
anything less than the best. Every effort that is practicable in tliis
direction should enlist the aid and sympathy of all. In several
cities experiments ai^e being made for the inirification of the water
on a large scale before it enters the mains. Some of them have
demonstrated the possibility of a removal of from seventy-five to
ninety per cent, of the living organisms. This is a matter which
should receive thorough investigation.
DISEASES OF INFANCY.
An inspection of the mortality statistics of cities shows that a
large j^roportion of all deaths — from ten to thirty per cent. — are
among children under one year of age, largely from cholera
infantum. Concord still maintains a creditable position in this
respect ; her death-rate, much below that of most cities, comjjares
very favorably with her sister cities in New Hampshire, as will be
seen by the following table from Report of State Board of Health
for 1891 :

Gentlemen : In accordance with the usual custom, I have the
honor to submit the following report of the sanitary work for the

RESIGNATION OF HENRY A. ROWELL.
Henry A. Rowell, who had served the board and the public as a
very efficient health officer since 1889, resigned June 25, 1892, and
much of the work that has been accomplished by this department
is due to his diligent and faithful labor in laying out the plans.
His services in behalf of improvement in the condition of the
city have been very vahiable, and in accepting the position to carry
on the work I have looked to him for counsel, which has always
been kindly given.
The report and accompanying tables give a detailed statement of
the nuisances found and the orders issued for their abatement.

The above complaints have been carefully investigated, and a dis-
position to conform to the requirements of the health ordinances
and general statutes of New Hampshire has been manifest.

SANITARY INSPECTION.
House inspection has been continued where it appeared the most
improvement could be made in the sanitary condition of the prem-
ises, while streets, alley-ways, and back-yards have been attended to.
During the year inspections have been made as follows :
143 private dwellings,
328 tenements,
4 boarding-houses,
38 stables,
5 meat markets,
13 store cellars,
2 hotels,
11 business blocks,
2 manufactory shops,
14 schoolhouses,
13 alleys,
47 back-yards,
2 slaughter-houses,
— making a total of 622.
Second inspections have been made in 179 cases. Third, fourth,
SANITARY DEPAUTMENT. 205
and even fifth inspections have been required at times to deter-
mine whether the orders of the health officer had been carried out.
There have been mailed 604 formal notices, embodying sugges-
tions of the following natvire :
116 for abatement of nuisances,
97 for cleaning vaults and privies,
8 for closets without water-supply,
68 for connecting with the sewer,
10 for removal of hens,
67 for removing old privies.
26 for removal of hogs,
89 for obstructed sewers, street and private,
25 for removal of offal,
2 for unburied dead horses,
9 for unburied dead cats and dogs,
31 for thi'owing out coal ashes and tin cans,
56 for providing water-closets.
In 146 cases, vaults and old privies bave been removed and
closets substituted.
Eighty-five additional ones have been placed in houses built dur-
ing the year, viz. :
76 private dwellings,
138 tenement houses,
5 business blocks,
5 public institutions,
4 boarding-houses,
1 manufactory shop,
1 market,
1 barber shop.
Total 231.
CLEANING PRIVY VAULTS.
The present method of removing the contents from these recep-
tacles is an open cart, ofttimes leaky and unsuitable, making
doubly offensive the odor which pollutes the air through every sec-
tion where such vehicle may be driven, and I would recommend
that suitable persons be regularly licensed by the health board, and
a list of charges prescribed.
206
CITY OF CO^X'ORD.
If such arrangements could be made the result would un-
doubtedly be beneficial, as by restricting the number of licenses
the parties who engaged in the business woidd be enabled to pro-
cure suitable conveniences for carrying on the work.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
Physicians have reported the various cases to this office by
months as follows :

Of the above, only seven proved fatal, viz., — typhoid, 1 ; scarlet-
fever, 3 ; diphtheria, 3.
SCARLET-FEVER,
although much more prevalent than in 1891, fortunately has
been of a mild type, so that there was no increase of mortality.
Investigations of the cases reported were carefully made ; isolation
of those attacked has been required. Houses where scarlet fever
and diphtheria existed have been placarded, children exposed were
excluded from the schools, and teachers where such pupils attended
have been notified. The health officer has disinfected, or caused to
be done so, every house, at the termination of the illness, such
fumigation being accomplished by burning sulphur in tightly closed
rooms with the presence of moistiu'e.
SANITARY DEPARTMENT. 207
Monthly statements have been forwarded the secretary of the
state hoard of heaUh, giving the number of contagious diseases
reported, those known to have proved fatal, number of infected
houses, and names of physicians reporting, together with what
action was taken in each case by the health officer.
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES.
In view of the widespread prevalence of cholera at the present
time in Europe and Asia, and the imminent danger of its obtaining
an alarming foothold in this country, and possibly in the state, I
have distributed three thousand circulars, furnished by the state
board, embodying suggestions for the prevention and restriction of
cholera and other contagious diseases.
CITY PEST-HOUSE.
By instructions from the board of health, and in accordance with
a vote passed by the city government in September last, appropri-
ating two hundred dollars for repairs on said building, and placing
the same under the control of the board of health, the house has
been vacated, shingled, plastered, underpinned, and painted inside.
A new shed has been built, so that now we have a very comfortable
place of retreat, of four rooms, which can be in readiness for occu-
pancy at short notice.
SEWER CONNECTIONS.
In compliance with the city ordinance, the health officer has
endeavored to perform his duty in regard to the enforcement of
the rules and regulations relating to sewers and drains. In all
cases, so far as known, he has been notified in season to personally
see the work completed.
Of the one hundred and twenty-six private sewer connections
made, a complete record has been filed, giving date, location of
inlet, location of trap inside or out of house, size and kind of pipe
used, rate of fall per foot, total length of pipe, and name of
licensed drain-layer doing the work. Akron and cast-iron material
have been used in all instances, and a statement of the various
sizes follows :
534 feet 8-inch Akron pipe,
1,747 feet 6-inch Akron pipe,
208 CITY OF CONCORD.
7,138 feet 5-inch Akron pipe,
138 feet 4-incli Akron pipe,
448 feet 5-inch iron pipe,
75 feet 4-inch iron pipe,
— making a total of ten thousand and eighty feet or an average of
eighty feet for each lateral sewer laid.
This amount of drainage has been furnished for
50 private dwellings,
65 tenements,
1 boarding-house,
5 public institutions.
5 business blocks.
During the year there have been abandoned and discontinued by
order of board,
45 cesspools,
32 surface drains,
2 old stone drains,
1 stable drain,
3 drains discharging into pond,
and seven sewers relaid with larger pipe for the purpose of con-
necting water-closets.
SEWERAGE SYSTEM.
Additions to this system being extended to various sections of
the city, and the large number who have availed themselves of con-
necting therewith, shows very conclusively that they are duly
appreciated.
Bradley street sewer, which in time past had given much trouble
by being overgrown with roots, was taken up and relaid early in
the spring, thus affording better facilities in that locality.
A new sewer has been laid in Granite avenue, providing accom-
modations for seven houses, all of which have been connected, also
one on Dakin street, which provides for eight houses, and a large
number of house lots, five of which have been connected.
One on North State street, near the prison, provides for four
houses, and two have connected with same.
That in Beacon sti*eet has an extension nearly to White street,
SANITARY DEPARTMENT.
209
and provides for five dwellings. Three of these are connected, and
on Morton street the extension makes provision for three houses,
all of which are connected.
The Highland street extension provides for five residences, while
that on Holt and School streets has provision for ten, eight of
which have been connected.
A system of sewerage has been established at West Concord, and
will be carried on until all parts of the village have the benefit of a
complete sewerage arrangement.
The school house and fourteen dwellings have availed themselves
of this opportunity for better drainage. Further improvements
may be expected during the coming year.
Monthly statements have been prepared from returns made to
the city registrar, giving information as to the number and causes
of deaths, death rate per thousand, locality, sex, color, condition,
age, and place of burial, also the number of marriages and births.
These statistics have been furnished to the daily papers and sent
in exchange to the following cities :

232 CITY OF CONCORD.
That our city is vapidly growing is evident, and tlie number
of industries in tlie suburbs will tend to increase the number of
residences in those localities. The city is broadening from the
centre, making a larger territory for the officers to cover on
their patrol duty. I have two plans to suggest to meet this
demand for officers : A larger force, or, a more feasible plan,
the adoption of the police signal system. The first is evident
to all, to shorten the beats, thus making less territory to cover.
The second plan has many perceptible advantages.
The police signal and patrol wagon system would make the
force far more capable than it now is. With this system the
officers on duty can be quickly summoned within call, and bet-
ter control can be kept over them. Much unnecessary work
can be saved, as the officers can be quickly brought together,
and citizens desiring the aid of an officer can call one far more
conveniently than now. Our people can be saved from seeing
many revolting sights. In fact, in many ways the advantages
of this system over the present one are so plainly to be seen
that it seems unnecessary to do more than place the facts clearly
before the public. Concord believes in progression, and should
apply it to the police department as well as to others, and I trust
the time is not far distant when we will have the police signal
and patrol wagon system.
CITY AMBULANCE.
The city ambulance requires some improvement, as its springs
are so heavy that it is painful for an injured person to ride
in it.
DEMAND ON THE OFFICERS.
A large amount of business is required and performed by the
police department that is impossible to be shown in reports.
The year 1892 has been unusually quiet as regards crime. The
list of offences will show that no serious outbreaks have occurred
to disturb the peace and prosperity of our beautiful city ; but
when crime has been committed I have allovved neither time
nor distance to prevent the pursuit of criminals, several having
been overtaken and brought back from other states and cities,
and punished for their offences.
POLICE DEPARTMENT. 233
PENACOOK.
The office of assistant city marshal is vacaut, on account of
the resignation of Will C. Sheffield, who was stationed at Pena-
cook. I would recommend that two regular officers be appointed
or assigned there. Tlie record shows a large increase of police
business at that place. An officer should be on duty there at
all times.
DISCIPLINE.
I believe in discipline, and I have attempted to place the
force on as good a footing as possible for one of its numbers ;
as to the result, I will leave it to the good people of Concord to
judge for themselves.
I have only the highest praise for the officers, who have done
all in their power to assist me in carrying out each and every
order given them.
A WORD TO THE PUBLIC.
A few years ago there existed in this city a strong prejudice
against the police department, which at this time has not
entirely disappeared. Whether or not that prejudice was well
founded, should not be discussed here ; but whether the causes
for it, if causes there were, have not disappeared, is something
which every fair-minded person should inform himself. People
who are constantly finding fault with the police are standing in
their own light, for they are their servants and they should be
supported. The police department belongs to the taxpayers,
whose money sustains it, and they should, to sa}' the least, do
their fault-finding with discrimination, and they should not
withhold their praise when praise is fairly due. The depart-
ment should be a mutual affair. The interest the authorities
take in it should never exceed that of the public generally, and
both should join hands in an effort to make it as serviceable as
possible, for as it becomes serviceable, property becomes better
protected and the city more desirable to dwell in.
No police department that does its work fearlessly and well
can hope for general favor. Every year hundreds of individ-
uals are arrested and punished for violations of known laws,
234 CITY OK CONCORD,
and it is not expected that they or their friends will call a mass
meeting and pass resolutions commendatory to the department
or any of its members.
IN CONCLUSION.
I would extend ray sincere thanks to the board of mayor and
aldermen and city council for the considerate treatment this
department has received from them.
T wish to thank His Honor Mayor Clapp for the assistance
rendered this department, and for the kind consideration shown
us.
We have found Mr. H. G. Sargent, city solicitor, most cour-
teous, and ready to aid us at all times, for which he has our
thanks.
Respectfully submitted :
G. SCOTT LOCKE,
CUy Marshal.

CITY SOLICITOk's REPORT. 237
REPORT OF THE CITY SOLICITOR.
To the City Council:
The cases in which the city was interested as a party, referred
to in my last annual report, have been disposed of as follows :
The four cases of Amoskeag Manufacturing company against
Concord, for an abatement of taxes on their property at Garvin's
Falls, were compromised by the abatement of a part- of tlie sum
assessed against said comi)any, and the suits have been dis-
missed.
The case of Charles R. Burnham against Concord has been
continued, and will probably be tried at the next April terra.
The case of the city against Betsey J. Burleigh, which was
pending in the law term on exceptions taken by the defendant
to the verdict rendered in favor of the city, was decided in
favor of the city and the exceptions taken were overruled.
The case of Betsey J. Burleigh against Concord for $1,000
was dismissed, Betsey J. Burleigh having deceased and the
administrator not desiring to continue the suit.
The suit of Bridget Stickney against the city of Concord was
to recover the sum of 110,000 for personal injuries on account
of an all-eged defect in a highway. By my advice, it was set-
tled by the payment of $2,300 to the plaintiff. The injury was
a very serious one, and there was considerable evidence, in
favor of the plaintiff, as to liability.
In my last report, I alluded to the fact that a notice had been
filed by Anne Currier against the city, claiming $1,000 for per-
sonal injury occasioned by alleged defect iu a highway. Since
that time suit has been brought, and it is now claimed that the
injuries are more serious than were at first supposed and notice
has been given to me that application will be made to the court
to increase amount of damages claimed.
238 CITY OF CONCORD.
The claim of Auson C. Alexander for $1,000, on account of
injuries caused by an alleged defect in a highway, was rejected
by the committee on accounts and claims, and no suit has
been brought. It is understood that the claimant, Alexander,
will not press the claim further.
At the April term, 1892, a suit was brought against the city
by Mark Upton to recover a sum exceeding $300 for shingles
sold, which were laid on the lower bridge. The suit was tried
at the October term, 1892, by the jury, Streeter & Walker
appearing for the plaintiff and the solicitor for the city, and a
verdict was rendered in favor of the city.
Higgins against Concord is an appeal from the assessment of
damages by the board of mayor and aldermen. The alleged
damages were caused by the laying of a sewer, and the claim-
ant, Higgins, was dissatisfied with the amount of damages
allowed him by the board of mayor and aldermen.
Scully V. Concord is a suit brought by the plaintiff to recover
damages for injuries to his team caused by an alleged defect in
a highway. The defect, if any, was caused by a rail of the
Concord Street Railway, and any judgment which may be
recovered against the city must be paid by the Concord Street
Railway,
Gustavus Walker v. Concord is an appeal from the decision
of the board of mayor and aldermen in assessing damages on
his property, which was taken by the city as a portion of the
public park near the library building. All the other parties
whose land was taken for the public park have been settled
with,
Edgar Hunt against Concord is a suit brought to recover
$10,000 for personal injuries alleged to have been caused by
defect in a highway in Penacook. The suit was eutered at the
April terra, 1892, and is now pending in court.

PUBLIC PARKS.
REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS.
To the City Council:
The fourth annual report of the park commissioners for the
year 1892 is herewith submitted :
Mucli progress has been made in the development of White
park during the year. The amount of the appropriation, $2,500,
was larger than the previous year, and it has enabled the com-
missioners to do more, and such work that has a degree of per-
manency in it.
Mr. Andrew Taylor was continued as superintendent, and
work was begun early in April, continuing through October,
with a force of six men and with team as needed.
Early in the season the commissioners consulted with Mr.
Charles Eliot, of Boston, in regard to planting trees and shrub-
bery, and it resulted in the purchase of a large number of trees
and shrubs from the Shady Hills Nursery, of Cambridge, Mass.,
amounting to $337.75. The aim was to select such trees and
shrubs as are hardy, and to introduce shrubs not now found
upon the grounds of the park, and by grouping those of the
same family, and planting in such manner that the effect in
years to come will be natural and beautiful.
There have been placed some thirty additional settees through
the park, and a summer-house has been erected on one of the
prominent places.
Much has been done to reclaim the wet and low parts, and
quite a number of the trees have been taken out to make room
for new growths.
It has been found necessary to have police supervision dur-
ing some of the time, for manv are not as careful as the com-
244 CITY OF CONCORD.
missioners would wish iu tlie use of the grounds, for in order
to make the whole park a success all must cooperate with the
management iu preserving order and in the desire to help in the
development of the grounds.
Many things might be done to enhance the loveliness of this
beautiful spot, but it cannot be accomplished at once, or with-
out the expenditure of money ; but much can be done each 3'ear
with the appropriations received, and will gradually accomplish
the completion of the plan upon which we are now at work.
It is hoped that the appropriation the coming year will allow
the erection of one or more entrances to the park ; also a much
needed bridge over the outlet of the pond. There are now no
real eiitrances to designate the grounds, as there should be.
The city is now in position to take the land adjacent to the
park on Beacon street, and it is hoped that the same will be
accepted ; and the appropriation of $700, which was made in
March, 1891, will be available for that purpose.
The commissioners would also suggest the purchase of the
corner now owned by James H. Rowell, which would give to
the park a territory entirely surrounded by streets, thus pre-
venting any objectionable feature contiguous to the borders of
the park.
The park has been frequented by thousands, during the past
summer, to enjoy the beauties and the restful features of the
place, and refresh themselves at the spring, which has so abun-
dantly supplied the citizens who have visited the i)ark, and in
their own homes.
The commissioners would also suggest that tlie appropriation
for the coming year be such as to warrant them in still further
developing White park, realizing that the money spent in this
manner brings its returns in a manifold way to our citizens, from
the enjoyment derived therefrom.
Another feature has been called to the attention of the park
commissioners, whereby, if their duties were enlarged so that
all the parks and commons could be placed under their super-
vision, it would afford a means of beautifying different localities
in our city which are now lying in disuse.
In the death of Hon. E. II. Woodman the board lost a val-
uable member, one whose taste and skill in such matters was
PUBLIC PARKS. 245
unexcelled. He gave much time to it, aud was thoroughly iu-
terested iu the development of the park.
Mr. W. G. C. Kimball was chosen to fill Mr. Woodman's
place upon the board.

REPOPvT OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF CEME-
TERIES.
To the City Council of the City of Concord :
The commissioners of cemeteries herewith present their sec-
ond annual report, which covers the work of the year 1892. A
large amount of work has been accomplished during the year.
The commissioners have prepared and put in suitable condition
for sale the large block of lots on the beautiful western slope of
the cemetery- A new block has been graded and added in the
northern portion of the cemetery, a fountain i)laced in the cen-
ter, avenues and drives consti'ucted, making this lot one of the
most desirable in the whole cemetery. The commissioners have
contracted for two large central |)osts for the gateway, wliich,
when placed in position, will add greatly to the beauty of the
entrance.
The work of extending the wall along the front of Calvary
cemetery has progressed in keeping with your appropriation
therefor, and will be completed in the early spring.
A nice carriage drive has been built from the tomb to the
northern portion of the cemetery, and to the north entrance,
which, we trust, is a great improvement.
The appropriation for the Old North cemetery has been ex-
pended in repairing walks and driveways, in removing the
unsightly tool-house, and in placing extra hydrants so that
water can be accessible to all lot owners.
During the coming 3'ear the commissioners propose to set a
large amount of shrubs and trees, and to still further adorn
and beautify these hallowed spots. The amount that can be
expended for this work rests with your honorable body. That
it will be a liberal appropriation placed in our hands, we have
no doubt.
GEORGE O. DICKERMAN,
Secretary of Commissioners of Cemeteries.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER.
To His Honor the Mayor, and Gentlemen of the City Council :
In accordance to rules and customs governing the fire depart-
ment, I herewith submit the report of work done by tliis depart-
ment in the year 1892.
We have had an exceptional year in the small amount of loss by
fires and an increase of still alarms, which have been promptly
responded to by details from the several stations to which they were
sent, a large majority being sent by telephone to the central sta.
tion, this being the only station connected by telephone ; and here
we wish to say that we think it only just that for the free use of our
streets the telephone company should, without detriment to themselves,
allow us a wire without any other customers, to run from their cen.
tral ofiice to the central fire station, which would save delay and
annoyance many times a day.
It would be wise in our judgment to have telephones at each hose
house and one at the chief's residence.
The attention of the past city council was called to the horse ser-
vices at hose houses 2 and 3. I am of the opinion that it is economy
for the city to own horses for these companies and have them used
the same as the horses at the central fire station.
A new pair of horses are needed for use on the hook and ladder
truck and should be furnished by the street department.
I would suggest that the alarm boxes be put in at East and
West Concord as a safeguard. In case of a fire of any magnitude
help must be sent from the precinct, and delay and confusion would
be saved by this arrangement.
These Wards 2 and 3 are now protected by hand fire engines,
which at best are heavy and hard to get to the fires with the num-
ber of men that could be miistered quickly, and I would recommend
278 CITY OF CONCORD.
that small four-wheel chemical engines he pui'chased and that the
hand-engines be disposed of.
The central fire station is overcrowded, and in the near future
additional apparatus will be needed at the North End, and it would
ba wise to secure the vacant lot east of the Alert house and then a sta-
tion could be built that will accommodate one steamer, hose wagon,
and a ladder truck. Then Washington street gives easy access to
the Hill district, which will soon be calling for additional protection.
This year the Eagle hose wagon was purchased without additional
appropriation, and the steamer " Governor Hill" was repaired at
the Manchester Locomotive Works. A new set of copper flues was
put in and other minor repairs made and now it is in first-class
condition.
There are two hose reels not in use and it would be well to dis-
pose of them at a fair price.

REGULATIONS OF THE CONCORD PRECINCT FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
ADOPTED BY 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 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, whenever 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 the 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 during all such service.
FIRE DEPARTMENT. ^ 293
Art. 7. No company, while returning from a fire, 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 sufiicient
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
be promptly obeyed.
RULES FOR DRIVERS.
The drivers shall be required to occupy sleeping apartments in the
central station, each being allowed two nights off each week, from 9
o'clock p. ra. to 6 o'clock a. m., upon particular nights to be designated
by the steward.
They shall be at or near the station at all times, except when employed
by the superintendent of streets, or absent by permission of the steward
or an engineer, and shall perform such duties as the steward or chief
engineer may direct.
They shall groom and take proper and trusty care of their horses ;
shall keep the stables clean, and the harnesses and all things pertaining
to their department in order ; shall have the horses harnessed as directed,
and not leave the station without everything in readiness for immediate
service ; shall exercise their horses when required by the steward or chief
engineer, and practise care and economy in feeding and general manage-
ment.
In proceeding to Main street, via Warren street, the drivers shall trot
their horses, and have them under complete control until the turn has
been made.
In case of fire, the drivers shall be subject to the orders of any engi-
neer.

FIRE-ALARM SIGNALS.
1. Alarms rung in from boxes 41, 42, 43, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, and 56,
■will not be responded to by the Alert Hose until signalled. The signal
to proceed to the fii'e 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, 23, 26, and 66, 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).
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.)
296 CITY OF CONCORD.
From the above, it will be seen that the companies are subject to calls
as follows :
Steamer Kearsarge and Hose — To all calls.
Eagle Hose — To all calls.
Hook and Ladder — To box alarms only.
Alej't 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 twenty-four miles of wire on the
main lines, and seven miles of extension wire for call-bells.
On the main line are twenty-six fire-alarm boxes belonging to the city,
and five private boxes, — in all, thirty-one. 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 steel). 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, Mass.

THE SOLDIERS' MEMORIAL ARCH.
CONCORD'S TRIBUTE TO HER FALLEN HEROS.
The soldiers' monument was dedicated July 4, 1892. A beautiful
memorial arch of undecaying granite, erected by the willing contribu-
tions of a grateful people, has been formally devoted to the memory
of the men who fought the battles of the Union and died that the
Union might be perpetuated. Surrounded by the bright colors sym-
bolizing our nationality, amid the strains of martial music, by the
voice of prayer and the tongue of eloquence, with solemn ritual and
in the presence of surviving comrades in arms, the monumental struc-
ture has been made sacred for all coming time. Hereafter it will
stand a reminder to the old of the days of strife, and an inspiration to
the young to fidelity and patriotism.
The dedication could not have taken place on a more appropriate
or more auspicious day. Ushered in with the sounds of exploding
powder and ringing bells, it was a day of special significance wherever
the stars and stripes were floated, and eminently fitted for remember-
ing and honoring the deeds of American soldiers and sailors. Nor was
anything lacking so far as the weather was concerned; the copious
rain which fell on the evening previous was followed by clearing skies
and cooling breezes, which made a perfect summer day, and from first
to last there was nothing to interrupt the order of the exercises, which
was carried out as arranged many days before. The city's hospitality
was found amjjle for the guests, who included men of eminent dis-
tinction, besides many of those veterans of the army who survive, and
who desired to have a part in dedicating this memorial of their fallen
comrades.
HISTORY OF THE ARCH.
The erection of the soldiers' memorial arch was the culmination of
a plan which had long been forming. For many years the question of
building a monument to the soldiers and sailors of Concord liad been
discussed, and finally the city council, as well as the surviving com-
rades, decided that the time had come when such a monument should
be biiilt. Accordingly, on the 13th day of January, 1891, the council
passed the following ordinance :
b CITY OF CONCORD.
Section 1. That a sum not to exceed $20,000 be and hereby is ap-
]iropriated for a soldiers' monument or memorial, to commemorate
the patriotism of the men of Concord who served their country on
land or sea, in the several wars, to establish, defend, and maintain the
unity of the republic.
Sec. 2. Such monument or memorial shall be located in White's
park, or in front of the city hall, or in some other suitable place.
Sec. 3. The mayor and two members of each branch of the city
council, whose terms of office begin on the fourth Tuesday of January,
1891, together with three citizen taxpayers, to be severally hereafter
appointed by the mayor, and three veteran soldiers, to be selected by
the Grand Army posts of the city, shall be a committee, of which the
mayor sliall be chairman, to carry into effect the purpose of this ordi-
nance; and such committee shall have full power to determine the
site, procure and agree upon plans, accept proposals, and sign con-
tracts for the construction and erection, and make all necessary
arrangements for the apjiropriate dedication of such monument or
memorial upon completion.
When the legislature convened, in the same month, the following
resolution was passed :
Resolved by the Senate and House of Bepresentatives in General Court
convened : That the governor, by and with the advice and consent of
the council, and under such rules and regulations as they may pre-
scribe, may grant the privilege to the city of Concord to erect, at its
own expense, at the central front entrance to the State House park in
said city, a suitable memorial arcli to the Union soldiers and sailors
of the War of the Rebellion, at a cost of not less than $20,000 :
provided, however, that the designs and plans for said arch shall first
be approved by the governor and council.
This was ajjproved by the governor April 10, 1891.
The ordinance provided further for the appointment of a committee
of members of the city government, citizens, and veteran soldiei'S,
which should have "full power to determine the site, procure and
agree upon plans, accept proposals, and sign contracts for the con-
struction, and make all necessary arrangements for the appropriate
dedication of such monument or memorial upon its completion."
This building committee was appointed April 21, 1891, and was con-
stituted as follows: Mayor Henry W. Clapp; Aldermen Gr. B. John-
son, Henry McFarland, W. J. Fernald; Councilmen John H. Couch,
Leonard W. Bean, F. E. Cloudman; and Messrs. Giles Wheeler, P. B.
Cogswell, Henry W. Stevens, John C. Linehan, James K. Ewer, and
H. H. Farnum. Six members of this committee saw sei'vice in the
Union army during the War of the Rebellion.
At a meeting of the building committee, held on May 5, 1891, Messrs.
Giles Wheeler, John C. Linehan, Henry McFarland, G. B. Johnson,
and P. B. Cogswell were appointed a committee to agree upon a
design.
Considering the geographical features of the city, and with a desire
to reach the best possible result, the committee deemed it Avise to
SOLDIERS MEMORIAL AKCH. 7
consult Mr. Frederick Law Olmstead, the emiiient landscape arclii-
tect, in regard to both the site and the design. Mr. Olmstead visited
all the sites proposed, and advised the building of an arch at the main
gateway of the State House park, a situation which had been favor-
ably considered by the committee. Permission to build an arch at
the central front gateway had been granted by the state legislature,
as above, by a joint resolution, approved April 10, 1891.
The whole State House park was given to the state by citizens of
Concord in 1816, also all the stone used in the construction of the
building. In 186-1 the city of Concord bore the expense of rebuilding
the state house and improvements to the square, at a cost of $175,000.
On the 6th of October, 1891, a design for the arch, submitted by
Messrs. Peabody & Stearns of Boston, was accepted, and on December
26, 1891, a contract was made with Messrs. Ola Anderson, John Swen-
son, and L. O. Barker of Concord, for the building of the monument,
the material to be Concord granite.

SOLDIKRS' JIKMOIUAL ARCH. 21
ORATION BY GEN. JOSEPH R. HAWLEY.
Mr. PE.ESIDENT AND FeLLOW-CiTIZENS OF NeW
Hamrshire: — All old soldiers and sailors, and tlieii- fami-
lies and their friends, and all lovers of the goo 1 cause and
the dear old flag, look toward you to-day with love and
gratitude for your good work in raising this noble monu-
ment to your defenders of the Union.
And you have chosen a good day for a good deed. This
is the day of patriotism. ' It is the day of Americanism, the
day of the hopeful, of the undoubting. the day on wliich all
Americans must believe that this is indeed the land of the
free, the home of the ideal republic. This day they shall
believe that the institutions and the laws of America aie
the perfection of human wisdom, that the growth and the
glory of the future are secure. For one day tjie North and
the South, the East and the West, shall think and speak
and sing only of things in which they all agree — this day
of the Declaration, the Constitution, the Union, and the
Flag
The old-fashioned celebration had its lessons of priceless
value. Then were i-ead the immortal declaration, and
poems, and orations unrestrained in their congratulations
and laudations, and in their gi-atitude to Almighty God.
All these things educated the youth of the republic. To
the elder men of this day, these observances have a signifi-
cance that we sometimes fear is no longer recognized, but
to them was in great measure due the everywhere pervad-
ing spirit of love and devotion that has made the Union
indestructible and demonstrated to the world the success of
the great experiment of self-government. Thence came the
inspiration which called more than two millions of men to
the preservation of the Union.
It is not a selfish day. It is not a time for local, or sec-
tional, or international enmities. It is another time of
peace on earth and goodwill toward men, the saints' day of
a democratic Christianity and a Christian democracy.
'22 CITY OF CONCORD.
Upon reflection, it is not sti-ange that thoughtful philos-
ophers and poets of ancient times, in their speculations and
dreams concerning the possibilities of a perfect government
and an ideal nation, should seem to have sometimes spoken
like inspired prophets.
Charles Sumner collected with scholarly curiosity and
nicety a volume of prophetic voices concerning America.
Seneca, the Roman stoic philosopher, even at the very
beginning of the Christian era, said, — '■'• There shall come a
time in later ag-es, when ocean shall relax his claims, and a
vast continent appear, and a pilot shall find new worlds,
and no longer shall Thule be earth's extreme bound."
But I speak rather of later days. John Adams wrote in
1768, — "I always considei- the settlement of America with
reverence, as the opening of a grand scene and a design in
Providence fq,r the illumination of the ignorant, and the
emancipation of the slavish parts of mankind."
And after the formation of the Union, Jefferson declared
our constitutional government " destined to be the primitive
and precious model of what is to change the condition of
man over the g'obe."
Evei'y day's record of the proceedings of the Continental
Congress that declared our independence, and the great con-
vention that draughted our constitution, shows that those
plain men of a little people of three millions were building
for the centuries, and talked as if they, too, had walked
with God and known his counsels.
It can haidly be said that they builded better than they
knew, for they looked forward with an absolute cotainty to
a nation of countless numbers, boundless resoui-ces, and glo-
rious freedojn
Hear George W'^ashington in his general order addressed
to his disbanding army at Newburg:
*•' While the general recollects the almost infinite variety
of scenes through which we have passed, with a mixture of
pleasure, astonishment, and gratitude — while he contera-
soldiers' memorial ai;ch. 23
plates tlie prospects before us with rapture — lie cannot help
wishing that all the brave men, of whatever condition they
may be. who have shared in the toils and dangers of effect-
ing this glorious revolution, of rescuing millions from the
hands of opj)ression, and of laying the foundation of a great
empire, might be impressed with a proper idea of the digni-
fied part they have been called to act (under the smiles of
Providence) on the stage of human affairs, for happy, thrice
happy shall they be pronoun ed hereafter, who have con-
tributed anything, who have performed the meanest office
in erecting this stupendous fabric of freedom and empire,
on the bi'oad basis of independency ; who have assisted in
protecting the rights of human nature, and establishing an

gions."
And on the 3d of July, 1776, in a letter to his wife, John
Adams wrote:
"• Yesterday the greatest question was decided which was
ever debated in Amei'ica, and a greater, perhaps, never was
nor will be decided among men. I am apt to believe that
it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great
anniversary festival. It might be commemorated as the
day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God
Almightv. It ought to 1 e solemnized with pomp and
parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, boiifir. s. and
illuminations, from one end of this continent to tlie other,

transported with enthusiasm, but I am not. I am well
aware of the toil and blood and treasure that it will cost us
to maintain this declaration and support and defend these
states. Yet, through all the gloom, 1 can see the ray of
ravishing light and glory, and that posterity will triumph
in that day's transaction, even although we should rue it,
which I trust in G d we shall not."
But there was to come a light and a gloi'V which no man
foresaw or could have iuiau:ined, when tlie three millions of

1776, eighty-five years afterwai'd, had grown more than ten-
fold to thirty-two millions, like an unheralded earthquake
came a civil war to save that Union of states in which the
defenders alone sacrificed seven thousand millions of treas-
ure and more than three hundred thousand lives.
Comrades and Fellow-Citizens : How wotiderful the story
is! Sometimes we plod along in the drudgery of our tame
and common life for wrecks or months, the memories of the
war out of mind. Suddenly, perhaps the sight of a maimed
soldier, perhaps the roll of a drum, the call of a bugle, even
the leisurely rustle of the old flag peacefully rustling, brings
back in a tumultuous rush the recollections of that magnifi-
cent and awful time.
In our previous history there had been many skirmishes
with Indians, the unsatisfactory but not altogether inglori-
ous war of 1812, and a short struggle with Mexico ; but we
thought of war. — real, great, glorious, desperate, prolongetl
war, straining the full energies of thirty or forty millions of
people, and marshaling armies by the hundred thousand, —
as something of which substantially the last had probably
been seen under Napoleon. How many boys read and read
of great battles, and wondered and wondered how it would
seem ! As their pulses leaped at the description of the great
thunderings of cannon, the rattle of musketry, the wild yell-
ing cheers of the charge, they asked, '' Could I go through a
battle? How should I feel ? How do wounded men look
and act? What do they say?" And the long night march,
the bivouac on the wind-swept plain or in deep woods I " I
wish I could see it all," said many a lad.
At half-past four on the afternoon of April 12, 1861, a
cannon-shot of devilish malignity, speeding from jMorris
Island, South Carolina, toward Fort Sumter, '' slapped the
face of Liberty." The lightning carried the news. Sud-
denl}^ arose seventy-five thousand men — three hundred thou-
sand— three hundred thousand more — a million on one side
only of a great war. Dying men by the liundred thousand.

blood in sti-eaiiis, debt by tlie tliousnnd million, a nation's
life trenddiiig in the balance, black clouds of sorrow and
despair covering the whole land I The boys who doubted
their own liearts fovgot to ask questions. They stood np
by regiments, brigades, divisions, and grand armies, and the
world never saw bi'aver soldiei'S nor more terrible battles.
It was an indescribable, astounding revelation of the true
soul of a nation.
It was the cause — thedear land we love — the Flag — the
Declaration — the Union — the foremost Republic in the
world's Instory — the grand experiment of gf)vernnient by
the people — a continent dedicated to Liberty — a nation set
apai't of God to work out the great problem of self-govein-
ment, of free government, education, peace, justice, equal
rights — good will among men — all leading mankind toward a
future nobler than our lichest dreams ! Should this vision of
unutterable glory be blotted out? Should we have disunion
— two republics — a dozen — with petty ambitions, factions,
revolutions, repudiation, dishonor, anarchy — a wretched,
crushed continent, begging for kings to take all and give
peace? For answer the grand " Fall in !" rang and rolled
day and night. The air quivered, hummed, thrilled, and
shuddered with multitudinous drumming. By hundreds of
thousands, young men, dropping all works and thoughts but
of war, stood erect shoulder to shoulder. From valleys and
rocky hills, prairies and towns, fresh from studies and shops,
grimy from mines and furnaces — they came down in long
swinging raidis, with the "clash, clang, and loll of stormy
war music," to right the great wrong.
The wife thanked Heaven that her husband was a man
and a patriot. The mother asked God's blessing upon her
boy, and promlly and tearfully sent him away. The chil-
dren knew they would not be ashamed of their fathers. It
was worth a century to live in those four years.
The enemies of free government looked with grim delight
for the coming fulfilment of their prophecies. They said

we had certainly tliriven as to mere numbers. They said
we could fight like a mob ; we were the descendants of
uneasy and rebellious colonists; our land was the refuge of
the enemies of all government. Theysaid we had no his-
tory, no historic consciousness, no cohesion. They said we
were only a loose congeries of states that would fall apart
upon a quarrel, with no centi'al commanding power to com-
pel organization and obedience. They said we had lost
faith in human nature; we believed all men purchasable;
we worshipped the dollar; we hungered for sensual and
material things. They believed that no democratic nation
could impose heavy taxes, create great debts and pay them,
or long endure self-imposed sorrow and pain. We asserted
that there is no power on eai'th equal to that of a free peo-
ple ; that all men together know more than one man; that
whatever is to be done by a whole people can best be done
by a free people. It was for us to show how a free people
can carry on a long war, and to exhibit unity, submission,
organization, discipline, obedience, perseverance, devotion,
self-sacrifice, not because a king commanded, but because
we felt and willed it.
The struggle was of infinite importance, because the fail-
ure of this republic would have delayed the world a century.
There is not a year or page of subsequent European history
that is what it would have been if we had failed. There is
no measuring the influence of this republic on other nations.
Our wonderful growth in population, social, material, and
educational development, trade and commerce — our small
standing army — have been making their impress on the
people of the Old World. No gi-aces of ]-hetoric can add
strength to the statistics that pi-ove our material prosperity,
our elasticit}^ our burden-bearing and debt-paying capacity.
Call other governments what you will, public opinion is
rapidly coming to rule them. It will be more and more
felt as intelligence spreads; and intelligence and intellectual
growth cannot be stopped. We were fighting the battle of

the centuiies. It was not for the North ; it was not against
the South. It was not for the southern slave or the bhiek
man or the white man, nor against the slaveholders. It
was /'>r the JNorth, for the South, for the slave, for the
master, — for the whole people and all people. It was the
battle of the world and of humanity.
Not all men reasoned elaborately about it. That com-
bination of truths and traditions, feelings, beliefs, intellect-
ual and moral discovery and growth that we call civiliza-
tion, compelled us. The common soldier felt it in his soul
and gloried in the drama, without waiting for philosophic
speculations.
The contest was worth all it cost. The world could not
have afforded to let it end otherwise. A divided republic,
several republics, would have meant eternal war. And the
nation determined to end the question of unity then and
forever.
The day of enduring peace is far away. Conflict is the
law^ of the universe. The mystery of the Divine Govern-
ment is beyond our comprehension. Everywhere there are
duality and strife. There are up and down, right and left,
heat and cold, light and darkness, day and night. Growth
and decay, good and evil, contend for the mastery. There
is no rest. The good cannot rest if it would. The bad is
falsehood, selfishness, hatred, malignity, destruction. They
are the stronger peoples who live where there is a well-bal-
anced struggle with nature. There will be peace only
when all evil shall have vanished. It is well said that
"Nothing is settled that is not right," and that "Unsettled
questions have no pity for the repose of mankind."
What is this terrible and inevitable thing called war?
It is the sudden and violent disruption of all peaceful indus-
tries. The air becomes tremulous with the roll of drums,
the resonant notes of bugles, and the clang of bells. Theie
come the marshalling and arming of m3aiads of men, the
rumble and chuck of ponderous artillery and endless trains
"28 CITY OF CONCORD.
of wagons. There come the sundering of families, the weeping
and the blessing of fathers, mothers, wives, and sweethearts,
the high flush of noble emotions, of pride, patriotism, and
devotion. And, again, the hasty instruction, the marching
and camping under blazing suns, or in frost and snow ; the
•delving in mud; some morning the quick, sharp shots of
the skirmish line ; combats now at dawn, now in darkness ;
and in time the full battle array ; the rattling, swelling, and
diminishing volleys of musketry ; the irregular boom of
cannon; the whistling, humming rifle ball; the Satanic
screech of heavy shot and shell; tumultuous shouts and
yells, now near, now far. Then come hospitals, crowded
by the wounds of battle, and the more deadly wounds of
disease; populous grave-yards; the muffled drum and
mourners going about the streets ; debts, private and pub-
lic ; rags, starvation, and cripples.
War is an unspeakable calamity, and the wickedest thing
in the universe is a selfish and wicked war between wicked
rulers and peoples, unless it be a cotvardly peace — a peace
that will see justice and liberty stricken down and stand by
silent and idle. Wrong and oppression are a challenge to
heaven and all just men. War rouses men to great thoughts
and deeds, and calls men to sacrifice. Unbelief in human
nature grows in peace, fostering a conviction that all men
are selfish. With war and sacrifice comes a sense of the
value of the country. Our soldiers learned the incalculable
worth of regularity, fidelity, courage, cheerfulness, and the
beauty of absolute obedience to orders because they are
orders, which is next to doing right because it is right.
Victor Hugo says the soldier and the priest are at heart the
same: one is devoted to his country down here; the other
to his country up there.
See that young man as he enters the ranks, fresh from
the plow, the workshop, or counting-house. It may be that
at first his manly spirit rebels against the sharp, peremp-
tory order of an oflicer, his equal and nothing more at home.

now of submission, obedience, and self-sacrifice. He has
learned to obey, be is ready to do and die. And that is
the lesson we taught two million boys — a grand lesson to be
learned, even amid the carnage of bloody war. Nor did it
end there.
There was with some a feeling of dread — born of the old
world's history — of the time when these soldiers, trained in
the rough routine of. military camps, and accustomed to
deeds of blood, should be turned back upon society. But
when the discharge came, the veterans quietly stepped back
into the ordinary vocations of life, resuming its peaceful
duties, all the better fitted because of the sacrifices they had
made. Multitudes to-day are better citizens for having been
soldiers.
They are to be fouiid in every field and corner of the land,
from shore to shore, — such as I see before me, in all employ-
ments, professions, and grades, staunch lovers of liberty, law,
and order, worshippers of the glorious ideal of what this land
is to be. They have spread through every distant territory,
ever the truest and foremost among the founders of future
states.
Everywhere they stand, a solid wall guarding the civil
power. So loving the country that they could die for it in
the storm of war, they are not the men to destroy its insti-
tutions.
It was a just war, and no othei- was ever conducted like it.
Read the story of great European campaigns, save as modi-
fied at times by special relations and to an increasing degree
by our example. '^ Fire and sword" was the cry. Desola-
tion followed the soldier — not that the enemy might be

der as a legitimate portion of his pay, and an additional mo-
tive for his service. The capture of cities was followed by-
insane orgies, trampling upon order and discipline, robbery,
nameless outrages upon the defenceless non-combatants, fire,
and brutal mui-ders of the defeated enemy. On the other
hand, save where, as in the Shenandoah or in Sherman's
march, the subsistence of the army was drawn from the
country, or the destruction of the support of the enemy was
demanded by military policy, the army of the Union carried
with it protection to property, protection to life and person^
and the punishment of disorder. As various regions came
again under the old flag, the starving were freely fed from
the army supplies, teachei's and preachers opened churches
for a gospel free to all, and the Freedmen's Bureau took
charge of the black man — free, surely, yet owning nothing
but himself. With the flag went fair play and fair wages
to all men. The Sanitary Commission and the Christian
Commission marched with or upon the heels of the army,
carrying blessings without leservation or distinction. Nevei'
before did war accompany its hoi-rors with so many of tlie
mitigations of a Christian civilization.
The political history of a few months that immediately
preceded the war is instructive, if not flattering. They
were full of doubt and dread. So much did loyal men love
peace and union, and so much, it must be confessed, did
they doubt the great hearts and high courage of the
loyal millions, that they offered terms of settlement which
one wishes could be forever blotted from the record, save
that they acquit the states that stood by the Union of ^ the
crime of desiring war. And it was long before the nation
was driven, under the chastening hand of the Almighty, to
lift its hand against the underlying causel^of itsjcalamities,
the belated barbarism, human slavery, struggling for a per-
manent intrenchment in the republic, and in despair striv-
ing for its destruction. But as the poet hath it :
"Above the bayonets bloom the lilies and palms of God."
SOLDIERS'* MEMORIAL ARCH. 31
With the restored Union came universal liberty. And of
the terms granted our conquered brethren of the Soutli, Gen-
eral Lee said: "General Grant's treatment of the army of
southern Virginia is without a parallel in the history of the
civilized world." Confiscations ceased. There were no
executions for treason. No seditious army remained to
dominate the government and justify the prophecies of our
enemies, nor did roving bands of guerillas harass a weary
people.
It was indeed a great war, and in nothing greater than in
its close, and in the results that justify it. Its gigantic
labors, sorrows, debts, and deaths won something, and what-
ever was thus won is to be preserved and maintained.
Upon this much we can all agree :
An indissoluble Union was restored. The theory of seces-
sion appealed to the last dread tribunal within the reach of
man. It lost, and it is dead, as a rule of possible action.
No man asserts to the contrary.
Universal liberty was established. Human slavery van-
ished. No man is heard to lament it, and most of its former
champions rejoice.
By constitution and statute, the equality of rights has
been established, for the ballot box, the jury box, the wit-
ness box, and the cartridge box. There are mourners, but
they are helpless.
There is but one theory of political society. In theory
at least, there shall hereafter be no master and no slave ; no
noble, no peasant ; no dominant class, no inferior class.
Every man has a right to be all that he can be. Even our
late enemies concede all this, and most of it most cordially
and sincerely. For it our dead brothers gave their lives.
Failure to maintain it would be an infinite shame.
One of our high duties has been thus far nobly discharged.
Every dollar of the debt has been held as sacred as a
soldier's grave. More than two thousand millions of it has
32 CITY OF CONCORD.
been paid. Had it been treated with dishonor or trifling,
there would have been lacking one large element in the
demonstration that a free people can endure and govern.
Let us remember that " Liberty is a burden, not a re-
lease." It is easier to live under a reasonable despotism
than in a republic. Where one man rules, it is the para-
dise of those who lament the existence of parties and polit-
ical agitations. The American citizen has assumed the sov-
ereignty and cannot escape its duties. All political
thoughts, debates, and conflicts concern him, and he can
never reach the end of his care.
We have the unspeakable happiness to have lived twenty-
seven years after the close of the war, and to see the great
changes in fundamental law and statute necessary to confirm
the judgment thereof ; to see our country first in financial
credit; first in the harmonious justice and freedom of its in-
stitutions, and soon to be first in numbers and wealth. No
man who has contributed, however humbly, to this wonder-
ful advance has lived altogether in vain.
By immeasurable sacrifices in war and peace a new and
solemn sanction has been given to the duties of citizenship.
Let no man trifle with the honor of the great Republic, or
deny its authority, or corrupt its ballot boxes.
We read in the Scriptures that when King David was
encamped over against Bethlehem, which was in the hands
of the Philistines, three of his thirty chieftains came down
to see him.
" And David longed and said : ' Oh, that one would give
me to drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem which is
by the gate ! '
" And the three mighty men brake through the hosts of
the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethle-
hem, which is by the gate, and took it and brought it to
David ; nevertheless, he would not drink thereof, but
poured it out unto the Lord.
soldiers' mkmouial arch. 33
" And he said : ' Be it far from me, O Lord, that I should
do this ; is not this the blood of the men that went in jeop-
ardy of their lives?' Therefore he would not drink it."
More than three hundred thousand men went in jeopardy
of their lives and shed their blood for the Republic.
When the moralist dwells upon the beauty of peace and
the sin and barbarism of war, he too often paints the
soldier only as one divested of all fine, pure elements of
humanity, going out to kill his fellow-men and lay waste
their homes. Such are some warriors ; such were not ours.
Before the contest opened, and during its earlier years, the
defenders of the Union had less of hatred than ever pre-
vailed in a people going to battle. They longed for signs
of changed conviction, or dying passion and returning
amity. At any moment, the news that our opponents had
abandoned strife and stretched out right hands would have
been received with joy indescribable and far surpassing that
of the capture and enforced surrender of Appomattox. It
was the stronger brother restraining the weaker from the
destruction of things of old dear to both, and the heavy
hand of relentless war, more deadly to the attacking force
than to the defenders, was really not raised in the East until
the campaigns of 1864.
Napoleon's dictum, " The worse the man the better the
soldier," only reveals the character of his wars. He would
have discovered that it was not alone barbarous in morals,
but a blunder in true military science, had he led in such
causes, that a truly intelligent people could have daily
wrestled in prayer with Almighty God for his success. Said
David to Goliath, " Thou comest to me with a sword, a
spear, and a shield ; but I come to thee in the name of the
Lord of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou
hast defied."
We venture to say that the great mass of our soldiery
thought not so much of sending death to others, as of their
belief that then, if never before, they were serving God and
34 CITY OF CONCORD.
their country, and were willing to die for the good cause, if
need be.
The true soldier is not a boaster. Saving and excepting
the few great leaders, he well knows that he was one
among two and a quarter millions ; only one, yet proud to be
counted there. When all was over, Dr. Bushnell said, on
an occasion similar to this, " The heroes of the war are the
dead men." True, but there were other heroes than either
dead or living soldiers. Remember the mothers and wives-
While to the soldiers some days and weeks were as holidays,
to the beloved at home nearly all days were days of battle,,
and every hour carried the possibility of sorrowful tidings.
Remember such as the Massachusetts mother, losing all her
five sons; to whom Abraham Lincoln wrote of the solemn
pride that must be hers to have laid so costly a sacrifice
upon the altar of freedom.
Remember the little army of nurses, who gave many lives
with a courage not surpassed on the field.
Remember those whose work at home was indispensable
and who had faith. In 1864 Grant said the Union would
be saved if the North stood firm. The army sometimes
looked as anxiously northward as southward. Remember
the farmers and mechanics who could not go ; who sent
sons and brothers, staying at home to maintain families ;
sending cheer and comfort to their boys in the field; voting
as seemed best to them, but always at heart voting for the
Union. Remember our legislators, who ordered army after
army, and debt after debt, with a grand audacity, a splen-
did faith in Heaven and the people, until 1864 saw the
Union with the greatest array the world ever saw, near a.
million and a quarter of men, the best armed, equipped^
clothed, fed, paid — and pensioned — the world ever saw.
Forget not the true Union men of the border and south-
ern states, who stood by union and liberty, while neighbor
was arrayed against neighbor, brother against brother, son
against father ; where the soldier often heard that his fields

were ravaged, liis home buiiied, his family houseless, and, on
furlough, he could only visit them by stealth. What had
we of New England to suffer by the side of these, our com-
rades of the South ? Remember among them the black
man. Remember our comrades of foreign birth who were
with us from Sumter to the end, and those who came from
foreign lands to join us.
The New Testament, nowhere reflecting upon the profes-
sion of the soldier, and full of the metaphors that inter-
change easily between the campaigns of the evangelist and
the warrior, gives us a charming story of a Roman captain,
a pagan, engaged in the ungrateful work of enforcing the
dominion of Rome over the conquered Hebrews. He had a
servant who was dear unto him, and who was sick and
ready to die. The generous soldier, having heard of one
Jesus, who was the friend of sorrow and suffering, and did
great wonders in healing men, sent to Him certain elders of
the Jews, beseeching Him to come and heal the servant.
The Scripture proceeds to say :
" And when they came to Jesus they besougiit Him in-
stantly, saying, ' That he was worthy for whom He should
do this, for he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a syn-
agogue.' "
Here was a broad and liberal, as well as wealthy soldier,
possibly not a strong believer in the gods of Rome and
Greece, but still less likely to believe in a gospel from
Judea, and yet he gave liberally to the alien race over
whom he was on guard.
" Then Jesus went with them, and when He was now
not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him,
saying unto Him: 'Lord trouble not Thyself, for I am not
worthy that that Thou shouldst enter under my roof; where-
fore, neither thought I myself worthy to come unto Thee ;
but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
" ' For I also am a man set under authority, having under
me soldiers, and I say unto one, " Go," and he goeth ; and to
36 CITY OF CONCORD.
another, " Come," and he cometh ; and to my servant " Do
this," and he doeth it.'
" When Jesus heard these things He marvelled at him,
and turned about and said unto the people that followed
Him : ' I say unto you, I have not found such faith, no, not
in Israel.' "
Thus kindly did the Divine Master look upon the pagan
captain : " A soldier and a gentleman " of Rome.
Mr. President: — I am not a stranger to all of you. I
have met a few. I have been curiously scanning these faces,
striving after twenty-six or twenty-seven years of separation
to recognize more of the Second Brigade, First Division,
Tenth Corps, Army of the James. Associated for nearly two
and a half years in the Department of the South, the Third
and Seventh New Hampshire and the Sixth and Seventh
Connecticut composed the brigade I had the honor to com-
mand for nearly a year at the close of the war. Of the ear-
lier commanding officers of your regiments I know little.
But General Joseph C. Abbott, of the Seventh, my next
in command, was a dear friend until his death.
Lieutenant Heber J. Davis and Ferdinand Davis, of the Sev-
enth, served most gallantly as aides upon my staff.
" Heber," as we called him, was twice badly wounded. Colonel
Rollins, Colonel Randlett (severely wounded in a noble
charue). Major Trickey, Dr. Buzzell, who died of typhus fever
contracted in the hospitals at Wilmington, Captain Kendall,
and Major Edgerly, and others, stand out clearly in my mem-
ory. At the blood}^ fight of Deep Run, August 16, 1864, a sol-
dier of the Seventh touched my elbow. I turned to see Col-
onel Josiah I. Plimpton, one of the bravest of the brave, who
fell at my very side, killed in an instant. Colonel Hender-
scn, gallant scholar, soldier, and gentleman, was badly wound-
ed near by, dying in a few hours. No better regiment went
from New England.
Mr. President: — I congratulate the city of Concord and
the state of New Hampshire upon this noble testimonial for

the dead. Let us prefer to believe that their spirits are per-
mitted to witness this inspiring scene. In the dreary days
of toil, in the idle hours of waiting camp-life, in the dread
moment of supreme trial, ever and anon there came to the
young soldier the question, " What are they thinking of me
at home?" It flushed his cheeks, brightened his eyes,
lightened his sorrow, and I'aised his courage. "If we go
home victors, how glorious it will be ; if we fall, they will
surely remember us."
But monuments are not for the dead alone. Justice to
ourselves and a wise provision for future trials require them.
They say to the young: " This, and more too, shall be done
for all who so love their flag and their country."
Forget not the wonderful time when millions were uplift-
ed by the great call, many to suffer labor, sorrow, and pain
and death for something outside of, above, and beyond them-
selves, joining the noble army of maityrs. Raise a monu-
ment in every town, where it shall meet the eyes of the mul-
titudes for centuries to come, forever telling the story of the
great salvation of free government. Call children to it and
tell them the tale, fully and truly — the causes and reasons,
and issues and results. Let the skilful sculptor and painter,
and the cunnino; ensri'aver set forth the countless romances
and nobilities of the long struggle. Let the poet, orator, and
historian perpetuate the significance of that demonstration
of the wisdom, power, justice, liberty, and truth of the Re-
public.
Perhaps you have heard idle and wicked hopes and proph-
ecies that the memories of the war will pass away. Never !

noble few of the leaders will grow dim in the misty and

purple and gold of your sunrise and sunset forever and

Only a few words more. Assisting upon many similar
occasions, I have made it my custom, as a most worthy part
of an appropriate liturgy, to read, at the close, the immor-
tal words of Abraham Lincoln, delivered at the dedication
of the cemetery at Gettysburg, twenty-eight years ago.
Standing upon Cemetery hill, before him the panorama of
hill and valley, magnificent in three days of awful battle
and now supeilatively beautiful and holy in the sunshine of
peace, he declared a vow and a covenant that we renew to-
day. He said :
" Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth
upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and
dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
"• Now we are engaged in a great civil war, t sting
whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so ded-
icated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield
of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as
the final resting-place of those who here gave their lives
that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and
proper that we should do this.
"• But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot
consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men,
living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far
above our power to add or detract. The world will little
note nor long remember what we SAY here, but it can never
forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather
to be dedicated here to the unfinished work that they have
thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from
these honored dead we take increased devotion to the cause
for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that
we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died
soldiers' memorial arch. 39
in vain — that the nation shall, under God, have a new birth
of freedom, and that the government of the people, by the
people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
The oration being ended, the bands played '■'• America "
and the benediction was pronounced.

exercises at the arch, tables were spread by Dooling of Bos-
ton, and the guests of the city sat down to the discussion of
an elaborate menu, grace being said by Rev. D. C. Rob-
erts, D. D.
The hall was beautifully decorated Avith festoons and
flags, and the back of the stage was hung with heavy blue
draperies, upon which were emblazoned in letters of gold
the names of the ensfaeements in which the soldiers of Con-
cord were engaged.
During the repast, the Third Regiment band, which was
stationed in the gallery, rendered choice musical selections,
one of which, a cornet solo by Arthur F. Nevers, called for
the cheers of the party.
General Hawley was obliged to leave the hall before the
conclusion of the dinner, and before he left he was given
three rousing cheers.
The post prandial exercises were participated in by Rev.
F. D. Ayer, D. D., Hon. J. W. Patterson, Col. Frank G.
Noyes, and Col. David R. Pierce. Miss Harriet P. Dame,
who was present, was introduced and was greeted with
cheers. Cheers for Mayor Clapp completed the pro-
gramme.
40 CITY OF CONCORD.
THE CONCLUSION OF THE WHOLE MATTER.
The corner stone of the arch was laid without ceremony
on May 14, 1892, and the cap-stone was placed June 17,
1892, the one hundredth anniversary of the battle of Bunker
Hill.
The arch has been often used to commemorate the deeds
of heroes. The monumental arches of Italy and France are
famous, and this one of Concord adds another to the list of
enduring memorials by which each age is wont to honor
brave deeds. The height of this arch is 33 feet 6 inches.
On the summit it is intended there shall be a winged figure
of Victory. The archway is 11 feet 4 inches wide between
the piers, and 21 feet 4 inches high to its crown. The en-
tire width, including the side walls, is 53 feet. The height
of the side walls is 11 feet 4 inches, and on them a space
has been prepared for bas-reliefs, representing military and
naval scenes in the last war in which Concord men bore a
conspicuous part.
The treatment of the design is Florentine in character,
uniting elegance with strength. The body of the structure
is strengthened, as well as ornamented, by projecting cush-
ions or bossages, which are rough liammered. The mould-
ings are finished to the finest degree. The shields at the
corners are to impart a military character, and the wreaths
on the posts are appropriately employed. The lower stone
of the pedestal for the Victor}'^ is to bear the date " 1892,"
and the panel in the frieze will have an inscription in raised
granite letters, —
" To THE Memory of Her Soldiers and Sailors
THE City of Concord Builds this Monument."
The bronze lanterns attached to the piers of the arch
were made from special designs by Messrs. T. F. McGann
soldiers' memorial arch. 41
& Co., of Boston. Messrs. John Evans & Co., of the same
city, are under contract to do the carving, which is partially
completed.
When completed, with its bronze bas-reliefs, its crowning
Victory, and its imperishable granite, the arch will be a
monument of which Concord may be justly proud.
It is worthy of remembrance on such an occasion that
Concord has always been a patriotic town. In the early
days prior to 1762 she was engaged in French and Indian
warfare. In 1775 she' had two companies at Bunker Hill,
Captain Gordon Hutchins's and Captain Joshua Abbott's,
and part of another company, Captain Aaron Kinsman's.
Concord aided in defence of the sea-coast in 1812, had men
in the Mexican War, and sent men enough for a whole regi-
ment to the War for the Union. The history of Merrimack
county gives the names of nine hundred and sixteen of the
last soldiers of Concord, and this list is admitted to be in-
complete. The Grand Ai-my posts decorate annually the
graves of more than two hundred soldiers and sailors within
the city limits.
The stately arch which the city has built to the memory
of the soldiers and sailors, stands appropriately near the
spot where the first recruiting tent in the state was pitched
in 1861. It was within the length of its early morning
shadow that the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, Eleventh,
Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and Sixteenth
regiments received the state colors which they carried in the
War of the Rebellion.
The monument is believed to be worthy of and appropri-
ate to its place, worthy of the city, and an honor to the
state.
OPINIONS OF THE ARCH.
General Hawley, who left on the 5 o'clock train, said,
just before going away, that when the arch is finished, with
the bas-reliefs and statuary, he should consider it as beau-
42 CITY OF CONCORD.
tiful as anything of the kind in the counti-y, considering the
size and cost.
Colonel Thomas E. Barker, of the Twelfth New Hamp-
shire, now of Maiden, Mass., expressed himself in the most em-
phatic terms, not only as to the appropriateness of the loca-
tion, but as to the beauty and finish of the monument.
Said he, as he sat looking out of the parlor window at the
New Eagle hotel: '•'On that vei-y spot, twenty-seven years
ago, I sat on my horse and turned over to the state of New
Hampshire the colors which I had brought back from the
war. I can remember it well, as my wife called my atten-
tion to my horse, whose head was drooping as though
mourning at parting with the colors. There is no place in
the state of New Hampshire more appi'opriate foi* a soldiers'
monument than the entrance to the state-house yard, and no
monument so fitting as the arch beneath whose shadow so
many of our boys marched to the front between '61 and '65.
This opinion expressed by Colonel Barker was heartily
endorsed by the group of distinguished veterans who stood
around him as he spoke, including General Michael T. Dona-
hue, commander of the old Tenth, Colonel James E. Lai'kin of
the Fifth, Colonel W. H. D. Cochrane of the Tenth, and Ma-
jor R. O. Greenleafof the Fourth ; and the words of Colonel
Barker as to the location and beauty of the monument were
almost a repetition of the language used by Colonel Benson,
late of the First Maine Cavahy, in the Eagle hotel.
NOTES OF THE DAY.
The bells were rung for half an hour, morning, noon, and
night.
The number of people on the streets is variously estimated
at from 10,000 to 15,000.
Some of the veterans who were in the marching column
hadn't been there before since the '60s.
The following past department commanders were pres-
soldiers' memorial arch. 4-3
ent : Larkin, Trickey, Lineliau, Wyatt, Grimes, Cogswell,
and Hiise.
Ex-Governor Berry of Bristol, New Hampshire's old war
governor, ninety-six years old last September, was one of
the most conspicuous guests.
Much of the credit for the success of the affair was due to
the efforts of Marshal Solon A. Carter, who made, withal, a
most excellent officer.
In the park west of the city hall. Caterer A. J. Farrar
furnished food and drink for many hundred hungry and
thirsty people beneath canvas roofs. The bill of fare was
excellent and substantial, and it was well served.
Both of the bands did excellent service. Rublee's band
arrived on the early morning train, and played on the plat-
form from 8 :.30 until eleven o'clock. The Third Regiment
band began pla^nng at 9 o'clock and played until noon, and
both played in the procession and gave a concert during the
banquet.
The old soldiers and their younger successors vied with
each other in precision of step and movement, and the
thousand or more men in line presented a fine appearance.
The route covered was as follows : Main street to Franklin,
Franklin to State, State to Capitol, Capitol to Green, Green
to Pleasant, Pleasant to State, State to Thorndike, Thorn-
dike to Main, Main to State House park.
At the dedicatory ceremonies the monument was unveiled
by B. F. Morse of Penacook, representing the army, and A.
S. Roundy, representing the navy. William A. Happeny
was officer of the day, and Captain Er H. Dixon officer of
the guard. Waldo Crockett, A. S. Roundy, and James Rob-
inson represented the navy, and J. A. Dadmun, George P.
Clark, and James T. Rooney the army. The color-bearers
were Charles C. Chesley and William A. Silver.
Governor Berry had the honor of sending out during his

administration all of the New Hampshire regiments of vol-
unteers in the War of the Rebellion except the Fii'st and
Eighteenth, and the First New Hampshire Cavalry. The
First New Hampshire Light Battery and three companies
of sharpshooters were also sent out by him. He is emphat-
ically the war governor of our sl^ate, and the oldest surviv-
ing war governor in our country.
The members of the platoon of police who were on duty
were Capt. Gilmore, and Officers Bean, Webster, Chesley,
Silsby, Little, Batchelder, Flanders, Robinson, Patch,
Roach, Kelley, Green, and Moxlee. The night men were
on duty in the afternoon, the following being present: Offi-
cers Sanders, Baker, Eaton, Poor, Robinson, Cole, and Flan-
ders. City Marshal Locke and Captain Rand weie actively
engaged all da}^ in looking after the crowd, and good order
})revailed.
Mayor Henry W. Clapp, perhaps more than any other citi-
zen, has reason to be congratulated on the success of the dedi-
cation. He has worked with the utmost faithfulness to se-
cure the erection and completion of the arch, and has been
devoted to the interests both of the veterans and the city.
Notwithstanding the opposition and difference of opinion
that he encountei-ed, he kept straight on in the path of
public duty until complete success had been attained.
