The  plant,  as  in  former  years,  has  shown  a  continual  im- 
proyement  along  all  lines.  Nothing  in  the  way  .of  extended 
work  or  outlay  has  been  attempted  during  the  year.  Owing 
to  the  change  of  grade  in  some  of  the  thoroughfares,  some 
pipe  has  had  to  be  relaid  but  no  great  extensions  haye  been 
made. 

The  income  shows  a  yery  gratifying  gain,  and  the  contin- 
ued use  of  meters  has  demonstrated  their  practicability  and 
more  will  be  added  each  year.  The  plan,  as  stated  in 
former  reports,  will  be  adhered  to. 

The  pumping  plant  has  been  maintained  at  practicalh'the 
same  expense  as  the  preyious  year,  and  continues  to  do  good 
work. 

The  capacity  of  the  high  pressure  system  for  fii'e  protec- 
tion was  hnely  shown  in  October  by  an  exhibition  of  the 
pressure  on  Main  street.  The  large  six-wa}'  hydrants  at  the 
corners  of  Capitol,  Park,  and  Centre  streets  were  turned  on, 
and  at  one  time  eighteen  solid  streams  were  pouring  a  yol- 
ume  of  \yater,  before  which  the  severest  fire  would  give  way. 
The  works  have  never  before  been  given  such  a  test  and  the 
results  were  most  gratifying,  and  should  prove  valuable  to 
our  citizens  in  securing  reasonable  rates  of  insurance  on 
their  property. 

Extension  of  the  high  pressure  system  to  the  new  railroad 
shops  has  been  asked  for  and  the  commissioners  have  granted 
the  same,  and  the  extension  will  be  made  in  the  spring.  For 
this  purpose  we  have  had  to  buy  some  pipe. 


WATER    DEPARTMENT.  213 

The  recommendation  of  the  superintendent  for  the  exten- 
sion of  the  30-inch  iron  pipe  from  the  pumping  station  north 
towards  the  hU<e  is  a  movement  in  the  right  direction,  and 
plans  will  be  made  looking  towards  the  consummation  of  this 
in  the  near  future.  The  condition  of  the  pipe  lines  of  the  city 
is  a  matter  of  some  importance,  and  has  been  considered  by 
the  commissioners.  Much  of  the  cement-lined  pipe  has  been 
in  use  twenty-four  A'ears,  and  while  good  results  have  been 
obtained,  yet  there  is  an  increasing  liability  of  serious  leaks 
and  consequent  da  iiage.  This  can  be  remedied  by  relaying 
from  year  to  year  the  old  pipe  lines  with  cast  iron,  and  should 
be  done  as  fast  as  the  means  will  allow. 

The  contract  with  the  Penacook  and  Boscawen  Water 
Precinct  which  has  been  in  force  one  year,  terminated 
December  i,  1S96,  and  the  water  was  shut  oil".  The  present 
condition  of  the  supplv  in  Penacook  lake  did  not  warrant 
the  expenditure  of  a  large  sum  in  this  direction,  hence  the 
action  of  the  board. 

November  i,  1S96,  bonds  to  the  amount  of  $10,000,  be- 
came due  and  were  paid  from  the  income  of  the  works,  re- 
ducing the  indebtedness  to  $680,000.  Bonds  will  mature 
each  succeeding  year,  and  it  is  hoped  that  without  any  ex- 
traordinary expenditure,  these  will  mostly  be  redeemed  as 
they  become   due. 

The  same  careful  and  elEcient  management  of  the  work 
by  the  superintendent  and  his  assistants  has  been  continued 
during  the  year.

There  have  been  laid  during  the  year  and  connected  with  the

As  vou  will  notice  by  the  record  of  pipe  laid,  no  impor- 
tant extensions  have  been  made.  We  have,  however,  pur- 
chased our  usual  amount  of  pipe ;  the  price  has  been  lower 
than  ever  before,  and  we  have  thus  provided  a  considerable 
stock  at  low  cost  for  extensions  in  small  sizes  of  pipe.  We 
have  now  on  hand  1,396  feet  of  4-inch,  7,213  feet  of  6-inch, 
64S  feet  of  8-inch,  and    1,1  iS  feet  of  lo-inch  pipe.

All  the  water  rents  for  the  year  have  been  collected  and  we 
have  not  been  compelled  to  shut  oft"  the  water  in  any  case  to 
enforce  the  payment. 

We  have  set  235  meters  during  the  year ;  4  have  been 
taken  out,  making  the  total  number  now  in  use,  502. 

We  have  built  1,287  ^'^^^  *^^  substantial  wire  fence  on  the 
north  and  west  sides  of  the  Cooledge  lot ;  also  253  feet  on  the 
west  side  of  the  avenue  leading  from  the  Hopkinton  road  to 
the  cottage  at  the  lake,  and  172  feet  of  picket  fence  in  front 
of  the  cottage.

The  lowest  point  reached  was  Januarv  i,  being  174.35; 
the  highest  was  Ma v  i,  iSi.io;  mean  height,  178.96,  which 
was  7-8i  feet  higher  than  the  mean  lieight  for   the  year  1S95. 

At  its  highest  record,  the  water  stood  12  feet  above  the 
lowest  record  of  189^  :ind  7.85  feet  above  the  highest  point 
of  that  year. 

Our  immediate  locality  has  l)een  unusually  favored  by  the 
rainfall  of  the  3-ear ;  the  spring  freshet  and  rains  of  the  sum- 
mer and  fall  came  with  great  advantage  to  the  lake,  and  the 
continued  and  stcadv  rise  of  water  makes  us  confident  that 
there  will  be  no  occasion  for  anxiety  in  regard  to  low  water 
for  several  years.  The  first  record  of  height  of  water  when 
the  works  were  completed,  was  January  i,  1S74,  175.90;- 
during  that  year,  the  water  rose  to  1S2. 50,  and  except  for  a 
few  months  early  in  1877?  this  high  level,  with  the  slight  va- 
riations incident  to  the  change  of  seasons,  was  continued  until 
1S80-81.  In  the  latter  part  of  1880,  the  water  began  to  fall, 
and  February    10,    1S81,    the  lowest   point  was  reached,  172. 


222  CITY    OF    CONCORD. 

The  spring  rains,  however,  soon  brought  the  lake  back,  and 
although  for  several  seasons  the  winter  months  lowered  the 
record  slightly,  the  average  height  continued  to  rise,  until  on 
Mav  39,  18S8,  the  water  stood  at  185.60,  the  highest  point 
since  the  construction  of  the  works,  and  above  high  water 
level.  Unusually  high  water  prevailed  until  1S92,  when  the 
general  drought  throughout  New  England  began  to  make  it- 
self felt  in  water  supplies.  The  mean  height  for  the  past 
few  years  has  accordingly  been  low  in  comparison  with 
former  records,  but  after  a  careful  study  of  this  rise  and  fall 
of  Penacook  lake  we  feel  sure  that  another  period  of  high 
water  has  begun  which   will    continue  for  a  number  of  years. 

The  cement-lined  pipe  in  the  works  has  been  laid  twenty- 
four  years;  during  the  past  year  we  have  had  a  number  of 
serious  breaks  on  some  streets,  thus  increasing  the  expense 
of  management  and  repairs;  it  is  probable  that  this  trouble 
w^ill  continue  and  increase  through  the  coming  years ;  more- 
over some  of  these  original  pipes  are  hardly  large  enough  to 
furnish  good  hydrant  service  along  with  the  increased  con- 
sumption which  must  of  necessity  come  with  the  growth  of 
twenty-four  years.  I  would  therefore  recommend  that  as  a 
beginning  of  relaying  this  pipe,  1,700  feet  of  20-inch  cast- 
iron  pipe  be  laid  from  the  pumping  station  to  a  little  north  of 
the  cemetery  gate,  to  take  the  place  of  the  original  14-inch 
cement-lined  main  laid  in  1S73  ;  a  6  or  S-inch  pipe  on  Rum- 
ford  street,  from  Franklin  to  near  Abbott  street,  a  distance  of 
about  1,000  feet;  and  in  JNIonroe  street  from  South  State 
street  to  Grove  street,  600  feet  of  6-inch  pipe. 

In  closing  this  report  I  desire  to  extend  to  the  president  and 
members  of  the  water  board,  and  the  employees  of  the  de- 
partment, my  sincere  thanks  for  their  uniform  courtesy  and 
co-operation  in  the  discharge  of  the  duties  of  my  position.

HIGHWAY   DEPARTMENT. 


Report  of  Commissioner  of  Highways. 


To  the  City  Coinicil : 

Gentlemex, — In  accordance  with  custom,  I  hereby  sub- 
mit the  annual  report  of  the  highway  department  for  the 
year  ending  December  31,  1S96. 

At  first,  I  would  call  the  attention  of  your  honorable  body  to 
the  appropriations  as  made  for  1896  and  the  different  items 
of  expense  to  be  met  from  them.  The  amount  appropriated 
for  roads  and  bridges  was  $30,000.00.  But  very  little  of 
this  amount  is  available  for  any  permanent  work  on  highways 
and  bridges  as  the  expense  of  building  and  cleaning  catch 
basins,  the  spring  and  fall  cleaning  of  streets,  the  weekly 
night  cleaning  in  the  business  section,  and  the  expense  of 
caring  for  snow  must  be  taken  from  it.  This  year  the  cost 
of  building  and  caring  for  catch  basins  was  about  $900.00. 
The  removal  of  garbage  in  the  spring  and  fall  as  recjuired  by 
the  ordinance  of  1895,  brought  an  additional  expense  of 
$2,000.00.  The  weekly  cleaning  and  burning  of  garbage 
from  the  alleyways  of  the  business  blocks  costs  nearly 
$1,000.00  and  without  doubt  the  district  must  soon  be  ex- 
tended as  calls  are  constantly  being  made  for  city  teams  to 
remove  ashes,  etc.  Besides  this,  the  macadam,  concrete,  and 
paving  must  be  kept  clean  and  gutters  cleared,  which  calls  for 
$1,000.00  more.  By  far  the  largest  expense  is  for  the  care 
of  snow  and  ice,  which,  while  keeping  the  roads  passable 
leaves  nothing  to  show  for  the  mone}^  expended.  Our 
last  winter  was  exceptionally  favorable  for  this  department 
and  therefore  left  a  portion  of  the    appropriation.      All  these 


HIGHWAY    DF.PAKTJIENT.  ZOt 

items  aggregated  amount  to  quite  a  sum,  but  still  the  care  of 
drinking  fountains  and  watering  troughs,  and  supplies  for 
the  department  must  come  from  this  appropriation,  and  for 
two  years  past  we  have  had  a  heavy  expense  on  account  of 
the  spring  freshets.  Therefore,  I  would  recommend  that 
separate  appropriations  be  made  for  permanent  work,  clean- 
ing streets,  catch  basins,  and  general  maintenance,  instead  of 
the  one  now  made  for  roads  and  bridges. 

The  spring  freshet  did  considerable  damage  on  account  of 
the  great  amount  of  ice,  and  the  Gully  Flill  and  East  Concord 
roads  were  impassable  for  several  days,  being  covered  for 
some  distance  with  solid  ice  from  six  to  ten  feet  deep. 
Water  and  Hall  streets,  at  the  south  end  of  the  city,  were 
quite  badly  washed.  The  Turnpike  bridge,  across  the  Sou- 
cook  river,  in  Egvpt  district,  was  also  carried  away.  As 
there  is  another  bridge  near  by,  the  matter  of  discontinuing 
the  road  was  considered.  The  town  of  Pembroke  decided 
to  do  so,  but  our  city  thought  it  best  to  rebuild  the  bridge. 
Bids  were  called  for,  for  a  bridge  similar  to  the  one  across 
the  Soucook  river  at  Clough's  Mills,  so  called.  Five  bids 
were  received  and  the  bid  of  George  G.  Jenness  being  the 
lowest,  was  accepted.  The  total  cost  of  the  bridge  was 
$1,654.78,  one  half  of  which  was  paid  by  the  town  of  Pem- 
broke. Bids  for  painting  the  same  were  received  by  this 
department,  and  the  bid  of  A.  C.  Leavitt  for  $24.75  '^^^^ 
accepted.  The  bridge  was  opened  for  public  travel  about 
September  first.  The  lower  Soucook  bridge  was  carried  off 
the  abutments,  but  with  new  plank  and  timber  was  replaced 
at  an  expense  of  $25.93. 

Besides  these,  considerable  repairing  has  been  done  on 
the  bridges  within  the  citv.  The  iron  bridge  at  Penacook 
was  thought  to  need  new  stringers  and  roadway,  but  after 
commencing  the  repairs  it  was  found  that  nearly  all  stringers 
were  -in  good  condition.  The  roadway  and  sidewalk  were 
I'eplanked,  putting  the  bridge  in  good  condition  at  less  ex- 
pense than  first  expected.  A  new  bridge  was  built  on  the 
Canterbury  road,   across  Hackett's  brook,  in   North  Concord 


238  CITV    OF    CONCORD. 

district.  Expense  $198.79.  The  bridge  across  Turkey  river 
at  St.  Paul's  School  was  replanked  at  an  expense  of  $39.81. 
The  Twin  bridge  at  Penacook  is  in  an  extremely  bad  con- 
dition and  needs  immediate  attention.  Last  year  it  was 
strengthened  and  repaired,  but  I  find  it  is  still  settling  in  the 
centre. 

During  the  past  season,  considerable  macadamizing  has 
been  done.  Pleasant  street  from  Main  to  State,  Main  street 
from  Pleasant  to  Concord,  Warren  street  from  State  to  Spring, 
and  prepared  for  concrete  from  State  to  Main,  South  State 
street  from  Thompson  to  Perley,  and  Park  street  from  Main 
to  State.  Besides,  our  roller  was  rented  to  the  cit}'  of 
Franklin  for  ten  days.  The  macadam  of  last  season  has 
shown  that  it  is  a  practical  road  to  build,  as  it  has  stood  the 
very  severe  w^eather  and  heavy  teaming  well.  Little  repairs 
have  been  necessary  except  in  cases  of  opening  the  street 
which  is  becoming  too  common  a  practice.  The  streets  are 
constantly  being  dug  up  to  put  in  gas,  sewer,  or  water  pipes. 
Under  the  present  system  the  commissioner  has  no  knowledge 
when  or  bv  whom  the  work  is  done.  As  he  is  responsible 
for  the  good  condition  of  the  streets,  it  seems  that  the  granting 
of  permits  for  opening  and  obstructing  them  should  belong  to 
this  department. 

There  are  a  number  of  streets  in  our  city  which  are  in  a  very 
bad  condition,  for  example,  the  Penacook  road  from  West 
Concord  to  Penacook,  and  Merrimack  street  from  Rolfe 
street  to  Penacook  street,  in  Penacook.  There  has  been  no  per- 
manent work  done  on  these  roads  for  many  years,  having  only 
been  patched  and  the  material  on  them  is  now  completely 
worn  out.  To  place  them  in  anything  like  fair  condition  it 
w^ould  necessitate  considerable  expense.  If  our  city  had  a 
portable  stone  crusher  which  could  be  moved  to  these  roads 
and  the  stone  there  used,  they  might  be  macadamized  and 
placed  in  an  excellent  condition  at  less  expense,  as  the  cost  of 
carting  stone  to  and  from  the  crusher  would  be  saved,  than  to 
repair  them  with  the  means  we  now  have.  Main  street  from 
Centre  to  Pitman  is  in  very  poor  condition.      After  rains  and 


HIGHWAY    DEPAKTJIENT.  239 

in  the  spring  it  is  very  muddy,  as  it  is  impossible  to  drain  it 
west  of  the  Street  Railway  track.  I  would  recommend  that 
the  street  be  paved  and  hope  the  council  will  take  some  action 
on  it.  Bridge  street  from  Main  to  the  railroad  bridge  should 
receive  like  attention,  as  traffic  on  it  has  increased  largely  of 
late. 

In  July,  a  petition  was  presented  to  this  department  asking 
for  the  concreting  of  Warren  street  from  State  to  Main. 
After  a  meeting  of  the  board  of  aldermen  to  consider  the  ad- 
visability of  granting  it,  it  was  referred  to  the  commissioner 
with  full  power.  As  the  petition  was  considered  a  strong 
one,  inasmuch  as  it  was  signed  by  forty-five  real  estate 
owaiers,  the  work  was  done.  Although  there  was  some  oppo- 
sition to  it,  since  it  has  been  completed  the  citizens  seem 
satisfied  with  the  work.  Another  petition  has  since  been  re- 
ceived for  concreting  School  street  from  the  Capital  Fire 
Insurance  building  to  State  street.  This  would  place  the 
street  in  good  condition  and  I  hope  the  work  will  be  done 
next  season. 

Verv  little  work  has  been  done  on  new  streets.  Langdon 
street,  at  the  new  railroad  shops,  has  been  filled  with  grade 
from  Turnpike  street,  Park  ridge  and  Ridge  road  have  been 
made  passable,  but  not  much  work  done  on  them.  Engel 
street,  at  West  Concord,  has  been  laid  out  and  put  in  good 
condition.  In  the  past  two  years,  portions  of  the  River  road 
in  Penacook,  from  the  Borough  to  the  Horse  Hill  bridge, 
which  were  verv  sandy,  have  been  hardened  and  greatly  im- 
proved. Considerable  work  has  been  done  on  concrete  walks 
the  past  season.  The  matter  of  laying  a  concrete  walk  from 
Waverlv  street  to  Blossom  Hill  Cemetery,  which  was  granted 
six  years  ago,  is  still  unsettled.  It  ought  to  be  laid  as  there 
is  much  travel  to  the  cemetery. 

The  effects  of  the  maple  tree  borer  of  last  season  were 
plainly  seen  in  the  spring,  by  the  number  of  trees  dead  and 
dying.  The  shade  trees  have  been  quite  free  of  pests  the  past 
season,  but  trees  in  all  parts  of  the  city  are  dying  fast,  which 
in    many  cases  is  caused,   I  think,   by    defective    gas  pipes. 


240  CITY    OF    CONCORD. 

The  new  shed,  for  storage  purposes,  which  I  recommended 
in  my  hist  report,  vvas  erected  on  the  city  lot  early  in  the  spring. 
Bids  were  received  and  the  contract  awarded  to  the  Hutchin- 
son Building  Co.,  the  lowest  bidder.  The  sprinkling  the 
past  seascMi  has  been  done  quite  satisfactorily,  and  if  the  pre- 
cinct is  not  extended,  the  present  appropriation  is  sufficient. 
In  April,  the  state  board  of  agriculture  issued  a  call  tor  a  Good 
Roads  Convention  to  be  held  in  Concord,  May  13  and  14. 
Circulars  were  seiit  to  the  different  manufacturers  of  road 
making  machinery,  inviting  them  to  exhibit  their  goods.  Our 
citv  w-as  asked  to  have  their  steam  roller  and  other  improved 
machinery  on  exhibition  and  to  furnish  material  for  those  ex- 
hibiting. In  response  to  the  invitation  to  exhibit,  the  Climax 
Road  Machine  Co.,  of  Marathon,  N.  Y.,  sent  two  road 
machines  and  one  portable  stone  crusher ;  American  Road 
Machine  Co.,  Boston,  Mass.,  a  full  line  of  street  and  road 
working  machinery;  F.  C.  Austin  Manufacturing  Co.,  Chi- 
cago, 111.,  one  road  machine  and  one  portable  stone  crusher. 
Although  the  number  of  machines  sent  were  small  the  advan- 
tage of  tlie  impro\ed  implements  for  good  road  making  was 
fully  shown.  During  the  first  day  of  the  convention,  .the 
portable  crushers  were  at  work  on  the  city  lot  on  School 
street,  and  our  steam  roller  on  Park  street,  which  was  mac- 
adamized from  Main  to  State  street.  On  the  second  day, 
road  machines  were  given  a  trial  on  Penacook  street.  The 
mayors,  superintendents  of  streets,  and  selectmen  of  the 
towns  were  invited  and  although  the  attendance  was  small 
mucii  interest  was  manifested. 

In  conclusion,  I  desire  to  return  my  thanks  to  his  honor 
the  mavor,  the  city  council,  the  committees  on  streets  and 
sidewalks  and  roads  and  bridges,  for  their  many  courtesies 
and  consideration  in  dealing  with  matters  relating  to  the 
highwav  department. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

ALFRED  CLARK, 
Commissioner  of  Hig'hxvays.

panies has  been  gratifying  and  cannot  but  be  a  benefit  to  the 
parties  interested  and  to  the  city.  While  there  has  been  con- 
siderable done  in  the  way  of  improvements,  there  still  re- 
mains much  to  be  done  under  the  resolutions  passed  by  the 
city  government  December  29,  1894.  In  many  cases  this  is 
being  carried  forward  willingly  by  the  officials  of  the  differ- 
ent companies. 

Concord  Land  and  Water  Power  Company. 

The  work  done  bv  this  company  since  January  i,  1S96,  has 
been  very  largelv  in  the  direction  of  improving  the  insulation 
and  the  mechanical  strength  of  overhead  construction.  There 
has  been  a  shortening  of  the  total  length  of  their  circuits  some 
seven  miles,  bv  the  removal  of  wire  which,  while  not  dead, 
was  unnecessarily  long.  A  large  amount  of  the  defectively 
covered  wire  has  been  taken  in  and  what  remains  will  be  re- 
moved after  more  vu^gent  matters  have  been  considered. 
The  arc  circuits  have  been  divided  into  a  large  number  of 
sections,  to  the  end  that  an  open  circuit  may  be  quickly  lo- 
cated, and,  while  search  for  it  is  in  progress,  the  service  can 
be  maintained  in  the  remainder  of  the  circuit.  Work  for  a 
time  has  been  mainly  directed  to  the  rearrangement  of  the 
triphase  distributing  apparatus,  looking  to  the  removal  of  the 
possibility  of  crosses  between  the  prniiary  and  secondary  cir- 
cuits, and  considerable  has  been  accomplished  in  this  direction. 


ELECTRICAL    DEPARTMENT.  257 

The  reels  used  in  lowering  and  hoisting-  the  street  lamps 
are  in  niany  cases  attached  to  polls  too  near  the  ground,  mak- 
ing them  dangerous  to  the  puhlic  where  they  become  charged 
with  heavy  currents  of  electricity  through  the  accidental 
loosening  of  the  wires.  I  hope,  with  your  co-operation,  to 
have  these  put  in  a  safe  condition  as  soon  as  possible.  There 
still  lemains  a  large  number  of  dead  or  abandoned  poles  in 
the  streets,  which  should  be  removed  either  bv  the  Concord 
Land  and  Water  Power  Company  or  by  the  citv.  A  large 
number  of  wires  attached  to  trees  yet  remain,  which  carry 
heavy  currents  for  the  arc  lights.  My  attention  is  frequently 
called  to  these  by  property  owners,  who  have  spent  a  long 
time  growing  the  trees  for  shade  and  beauty  and  who  feel  that 
they  should  have  some  protection  from  the  ruin  of  fire  caused 
by  the  crossing  of  wires  not  properly  insulated,  in  wet 
weather.  In  m\'  opinion  these  wires  should  all  be  removed 
and  placed  on  substantial  poles.  I  recommend  that  the  corn- 
pan}'  be  asked  to  make  such  changes  within  a  reasonable 
time. 

Postal  Telegraph    Cable  Company. 

During  the  vear  1S96,  this  company  has  rebuilt  its  line, 
putting  in  new  poles  and  wires  from  Nashua  to  Concord, 
and  changing  its  line  from  the  state  camp  ground  by  taking 
the  southern  side  of  the  road,  which  will  lessen  the  liability 
of  coming  in  contact  with  Concord  Land  and  Water  Power 
Company  wires.  The  Postal  Telegraph  Cable  Company  has 
placed  substantial  structures  on  the  iron  bridge.  A  cable 
box  has  been  placed  on  a  pole  on  Bridge  street  and  a  cable 
1,600  feet  long  carries  the  wires  from  this  box  south  on  North 
]Main  street  to  a  local  office  situated  in  vSmith's  block.  I  con- 
sider the  work  this  company  has  done  from  the  state  camp 
ground  to  its  office  one  of  the  best  and  most  substantial  pieces 
of  electrical  engineering  in  the  city.  The  company  has  some 
changes  yet  to  make  in  its  call  box  system,  which,  when 
done,  will  place  it  in  the  front  ranks  of  efficiencv. 


258  CITY    OF    CONCORD. 

CoNX'ORD  Street  Railway. 

This  company  has  maintained  its  system  of  wiring  to  a 
fair  degree  of  efficiency.  There  has  been  during  the  year  a 
large  number  of  old  poles  removed  that  had  become  unsafe 
to  carry  the  heavy  wires  required  for  work  and  strong  new 
ones  have  been  substifuted  in  their  place.  Almost  all  the 
guard  wire  system  has  been  overhauled  and  put  in  a  fair  con- 
dition. There  have  been  new  guard  wires  placed  on  Liberty 
street  to  protect  the  fire  alarm  from  possible  contact. 

Fire  Alarm  Service. 

This  part  of  our  wire  system  has  been  maintained  in  its 
usual  fine  state  of  repair  and  everything  is  being  done  to  keep 
Concord  ahead  of  anything  of  a  like  nature  in  the  state. 

Western  Union  Telegraph  Company. 

The  plant  of  this  company-  has  been  kept  in  its  usual  good 
condition.  There  seems  at  this  time  nothing  for  me  to  rec- 
ommend in  connection  with  its  maintenance. 

Consolidation  of  Poles. 

I  suggest  that  some  arrangement  be  made  so  that  one  large 
pole  could  take  the  place  of  from  two  to  six  small  ones.  In 
this  manner,  all  parties  could  occupy  the  same  pole,  thus 
doing  away  with  such  needless  trouble  and  annoyance,  as  in 
the  case  of  Mrs.  Peter  Sanborn  on  South  Main  street,  or  as 
shown  at  the  corner  of  Freight  and  South  Main  streets,  or  at 
other  places  to  which  your  attention  might  be  called. 

In  conclusion,  I  think,  as  a  whole,  our  electric  service  and 
construction  will  compare  favorably  with  that  of  any  other  in 
the  state.  I  wish  to  acknowledge  that  whatever  success  I  may 
have  had  in  the  discharge  of  my  duties  as  inspector  is  due 
largely  to  the  kind  support  that  I  have  received  from  his 
honor  the  mayor.

REPORT  OF  CITY  ENGINEER. 


Office  of  City  Engineer, 

Concord,  N.  H.,  December  31,  1S96. 

To  the  City  Coitncil : 

In  accordance  with  the  ordinance  creating  this  department, 
I  herewith  present  the  fourth  annual  report  for  your  consid- 
eration, together  with  a  statement  of  the  work  done  luicler  its 
supervision,  for  the  year  ending  December  31,  1S96. 

The  cost  of  all  sewers  constructed  during  the  past  year, 
the  repairs  made  and  cost  of  .same,  will  be  found  upon  the 
following  pages. 

Plans  for  the  work  in  hand  have  been  matle  as  required, 
the  sewer  plans  revised,  additions  made,  and  all  errors 
found  in  locations  corrected.  There  3'et  remains  much  to  do 
upon  these  plans  to  show  the  sewer  system  of  the  city  as  it 
should  be.  Many  details  were  left  oft^  the  plans  under  the 
old  methods,  which  we  now  endeavor  to  show  and  which 
will  be  of  great  service  in  the  future. 

All  work  called  for  bv  the  heads  of  departments  has  been 
disposed  of  as  required. 

A  contour  map  of  Rollins  Park  has  been  made,  to  assist 
the  park  commissioners  in  their  svstem  of  development  at 
this  park. 

Considerable  time  was  spent  at  Blossom  Hill  Cemetery  in 
connection  with  the  grading  done  this  season. 

Plans  for  the  masonrv  and  suj^erstructur^  of  the  Soucook 
River  bridge,  on  the  Pittsfield  road,  were  made,  and  the 
bridge  built  jointly  by  the  city  of  Concord  and  the  town   of 


CITY    ENGINEER.

Pembroke.  A  statement  of  the  expense  attending-  the  same 
will  be  found  in  the  report  of  the  commissioner  of  highways. 
The  "Twin  bridge"  at  Penacook  should  receive  your  early 
attention,  as  it  has  passed  the  stage  of  economical  repairs 
and  is  in  worse  shape  than  it  was  before  repairs  were  made 
on  it  in  1S94. 

The  map  of  the  city  has  been  completed  from  Bow  line  to 
the  cemetery  in  West  Concord.  This  winter  we  expect  to 
plot  the  territory  from  the  West  Concord  cemetery  to  the 
Boscawen  line,  giving  a  continuous  map  from  Bow  line  to 
the  Boscawen  line  and  from  the  Merrimack  river  to  the 
westerly  end  of  Penacook. 

Such  time  as  could  be  spared  from  the  work  under  way 
was  devoted  to  the  extension  of  the  city  survey. 

The  employes  of  this  department  for  the  past  year  have 
been:  Frank  W.  Brown,  assistant  engineer;  Carl  Hunting- 
ton, Fred  W.  Lang,  transitmen ;  Charles  H.  Chandler  and 
Joseph  Odlin,  rodmen,  who  have  rendered  valuable  assist- 
ance in  their  diflerent  positions. 

I  wish  to  express  my  appreciation  for  the  support  given  me 
by  the  mayor  and  the  members  of  the  city  council  during  the 
past  season. 

The  expenses  of  this  department  for  the  year  1S95  are  as 
follows  :

PUBLIC    LIBRARY. 


REPORT  OF  THE  TRUSTEES. 


To  the  City  Council: 

The  trustees  of  the  Public  Library  herewith  transmit  the 
report  of  the  librarian  of  that  institution  and  ask  your  atten- 
tive consideration  of  the  information  and  suggestions  therein 
contained. 

The  report  is  so  comprehensive  and  exhaustive  that  sup- 
plementary remarks  of  our  own  would  seem  to  be  superflu- 
ous and  quite  unnecessary.  You  will  correctly  infer  from  a 
perusal  of  this  report  that  recent  accessions  to  the  library 
have  established  for  it  a  high  standard  of  excellence  in  almost 
every  department  of  literature. 

It  is  believed  that  no  scholar,  student,  artisan,  or  workman, 
will  fail  to  find  upon  its  shelves  information,  more  or  less 
extensive,  upon  every  subject  he  may  desire  to  examine ; 
and  the  unprecedented  circulation  of  books  during  the  last 
year  furnishes  conclusive  evidence  of  the  high  appreciation 
by  our  people  of  the  benefits  which  the  library  confers. 

We  cannot  doubt  that  a  liberal  appropriation  by  the  city 
government  will  enable  us  to  continue  and  maintain  the  ines- 
timable advantages  to  the  community  which  the  library 
affords. 


272  CITY    OF    COXCORD. 

In  submitting  this  report,  tlie  trustees  cannot  omit  to  record 
their  high  appreciation  of  the  untiring  industry  united  to  an 
enthusiastic  zeal  of  the  librarian  and  her  assistants,  and  to 
make  thankful  mention  of  the  unvarying  courtesy  and  kindly 
patience  with  which  the  wants  and  the  very  numerous  inqui- 
ries of  the  patrons  of  the  library  have  been  served.

REPORT  OF  THE  LIBRARIAN. 


To     tJic     Board    of     Trustees     of    the      Coticord     Public 
Library  : 

Gentlemen, — The  fortieth  annual  report  of  the  Hbrary 
is  herewith  presented. 

A  few  statistics  will  best  outline  the  year's  growth  ;  they 
are  as  follows  :

Of  the  916  volumes  purchased,  many  have  been  to  replace 
long-lost  copies,  a  large  number  to  supersede  those  un- 
wholesomely  dirty,  a  score  or  more  at  the  recommendation 
of  teachers  for  their  class  work,  and  many  after  consulta- 
tion with  specialists  in  all  lines,  from  theology  to  stone-cut- 
ting. There  has  been  a  steady  endeavor  to  bring  the  depart- 
ment of  science  more  up  to  date.  The  accessions  of  new 
books  have  been  published  by  the  JMoiiitor  and  the  Patriot 
with  unvarying  courtesy.

274  CITY    OK    CONCORD. 

In  the  90,000  books  mentioned  as  delivered  during  1S96 
are  not  included  those  hundreds  constantly  selected  and 
taken  to  applicants  in  the  reference  room,  or  those  frequently 
handed  out  to  be  perused  in  the  reading  room. 

The  increase  in  circulation  is  especially  gratifying  in  a  year 
when  campaign  clubs  and  bicycles  were  in  competition  with 
our  shehes. 

Concord  has  always  had  the  reputation  of  having  the 
largest  circulation  of  any  city  in  the  state,  exceeding  Dover 
in  1S95  by  10,000,  and  Manchester  by  25,000,  and  it  is  to  be 
presumed  that  the  gain  of  3,000  this  last  year  will  enable  it  to 
still  keep  the  lead  in  number. 

With  this  circulation  of  over  90,000  only  'five  books  have 
been  lost  and  not  paid  for.  This  showing  has  not  been 
reached  without  great  eftbrt.  For  example,  to  secure  one 
overdue  book  the  weeklv  dun  bv  postal  card  was  sent  for  a 
month,  then  a  messenger  dispatched  twice,  then  the  librarian 
went  once  to  the  boy's  house  and  four  times  to  his  place  of 
business.  Miles  have  been  walked  and  letters  written  even 
to  California  to  trace  families  who  have  moved  without  keep- 
ing their  written  promise  to  give  immediate  notice  at  the 
librarv  of  any  change  of  residence.  The  five  books  for 
which  it  has  been  impossible  to  get  satisfaction  have  all  been 
lost  by  persons  who  have  simply  vanished  from  town. 

The  large  number  of  new  borrowers  {^2^))  does  not  in- 
clude transient  applicants  or  those  from  out-of-town  who  pay 
for  the  privilege  of  taking  books. 

The  chief  event  of  the  year  has  been  the  recovery  of  the 
library  from  what  Eugene  Field  calls  catalogitis ;  for  July  i 
the  card  catalogue  was  finished,  in  half  the  twenty-four  months 
estimated  the  work  would  require,  notwithstanding  that 
with  the  shelf  list  or  inventory  made  at  the  same  time,  over 
50,000  cards  were  written.  These  are  housed  in  three  fine 
oak  cases  furnished  by  that  base  of  supplies,  the  Library  Bu- 
reau on  Franklin  street  in  Boston.  It  has  already  been 
stated  that  each  book  has  its  author  and  subject,  or  if  fiction, 
its   author  and  title  card,  and   there   are    manifold    cross-ref- 


PUBLIC    LIBRAKY.  275 

erences  which  direct  a  person  looking  at  the  subject  elec- 
tricity, for  instance,  to  look  also  under  the  subjects  electro- 
magnets, dynamos,  etc. 

The  card  catalogue  is  most  helpful  to  the  library  staH',  and 
is  already  consulted  by  the  public  even  beyond  our  hopes. 

The  pressure  of  work  is  now  transferred  to  rearranging 
the  volumes  upon  the  shelves  so  that  books  relating  to  any 
one  subject  shall  lie  shelved  together,  arranged  alphabeticalh' 
by  the  authors'  names,  and  all  the  novels  of  anv  one  writer 
will  stand  together  in  alphabetical  order.  This  classify  ing  re- 
quires that  every  one  of  tlie  20,000  volumes  be  taken  down, 
its  old  label  scraped  ofl',  a  new  one  put  on,  and  its  new  call 
number  written  three  times  —  once  on  the  outside  label,  once 
on  the  inside  pocket,  and  once  on  the  book  slip  ;  and  the 
book,  having  been  dusted,  is  then  carried  to  a  new  shelf 
which  has  been  washed. 

We  began  this  rearranging  in  October  and  are  doing  it 
without  withdrawing  any  sections  from  circulation,  with  only 
an  occasional  extra  helper,  and  along  with  our  heavy  winter 
work ;  and  we  sometimes  stop  to  hunt  for  a  speciallj^  de-- 
manded  book  among  hundreds  piled  on  the  floor,  but  we  ex- 
pect by  February  i  to  have  the  whole  library  in  order. 

Another  item  of  work  accomplished  has  been  the  erasing 
of  the  old  penciled  call-numbers  from  the  3^,000  cards  in  the 
catalogue. 

The  public  will  be  greatly  benefited  by. this  new  arrange- 
ment, for  the  c^uicker  an  assistant  can  gather  an  armful  of 
books  which  will  answer  one  question,  the  quicker  she  can 
turn  to  the  next  applicant,  or  the  applicant  himself  miiy  step 
in  to  the  shelf  where  he  will  find  all  the  resources  of  the 
library  on  the  subject  he  is  investigating  ;  and  the  most  nearly 
allied  subjects  will  precede  and  follow. 

In  adopting  the  Dewey  system  of  classification  we  foil  into 
line  with  the  best  and  largest  libraries  in  the  United  States, 
in  which  it  has  been  tried  for  seventeen  years.  The  broad 
divisions  of  the   system  are : 


276  CITY    OF    COXCOKD. 

o.      General  Works, 


I . 

Philosoph}-, 
Religion, 

3* 
4- 

5- 

Sociology, 
Philology, 
Natural    Science, 

6. 

Useful  Arts, 

7- 

Fine  Arts, 

S. 

Literature, 

9- 

History. 

But  each  class  has  sub-divisions;  for  example  :  500  will 
be  the  classification  number  for  works  on  all  the  sciences,  but 
510  for  those  on  arithmetic,  520  for  astronomy,  530  for 
physics,  540  for  chemistry,  550  for  geology,  560  for  paleon- 
tology, 570  for  biology,  5S0  for  botany,  590  for  zoolog3\ 

Accompanying  this  class  number  is  the  book  number 
which  prevents  confusion  of  different  works  on  the  same  sub- 
ject. And  the  initial  letter  of  the  author's  name  will  be  the 
initial  letter  of  the  book-number,  so  that,  for  instance,  the 
total  call-number  of  a  work  on  botany  by  Gray  would  be 

580 
G79. 

The  expansiveness  of  this  Dewey  system  is  such  that  an 
indefinite  number  of  books  can  be  added  or  the  entire  library 
moved  without  making  void  these  new  call-numbers  which 
tell  of  each  book  Vk^hat  it  is  and  where  it  is. 

To  ease  the  books  from  the  crowded  condition  which  they 
were  in,  the  old  book-cases  in  the  upper  stack  room  have 
been  drawn  into  the  middle  of  the  floor  and  new  shelves  run 
along  the  side  walls.  This  uses  up  all  the  available  shelf 
space  in  the  building.  All  borrowers  have  been  given  new 
cards  suited  to  the  putting  down  of  these  call-numbers,  and  a 
catalogue  containing  them  will  soon  be  printed  of  all  the 
fiction  in  the  library. 

In  order  to  induce  people  to  read  something  besides  novels, 
a  student's  card  will  be  allowed  each  borrower  on  which  he 
may  take  out  one  work  of  non-fiction  at  the  same  time  he  has 


PUBLIC    LIBKAKY.  Zti 

out  a  story  on  his  other  card.  Another  year  we  shall  have 
the  data  wherewith  to  register  the  circulation  of  books  by 
classes,  and  can  then  see  whether  the  Concord  pulilic  reads 
more  biography,  science,  history,  or  religion. 

The  joy  the  librarian  feels  when  a  child  aspires  or  can  be 
led  to  something  better  in  his  reading  is  as  keen  as  that  felt 
by  a  parent  or  teacher  over  an  upw^ard  step,  and  it  is  an 
equally  great  pleasure  to  have  an  adult  seek  and  find  on  our 
shelves  the  literarv  tools  he  craves  to  make  him  a  cleverer 
artisan  or  a  more  profound  thinker. 

The  confidence  and  kindness  of  the  trustees  and  the  cheer- 
ful co-operation  and  verv  arduous  work  of  the  assistants  are 
most  gratefully  acknowledged. 

Respectfullv   submitted,

Librarian. 


SANITARY  DEPARTMENT. 


REPORT  OF  BOARD  OF  HEALTH. 


To  Jus  Honor  the  ]\Iayor  and  the  City  Council : 

Gentlemen, — The  board  of  liealth  respectfully  submit  here- 
with the  report  of  their  executive  officer,  which  summarizes 
the  department's  work  during  1S96.  The  board  have  held 
regular  meetings  each  Saturday  afternoon  during  the  year  at 
their  office  in  Button's  block.  Careful  attention  has  been 
given  to  all  matters  presented.  Especial  pains  has  been  taken 
to  keep  Concord  abreast  with  sanitary  progress  and  to  secure 
an  efficient  administration  of  the  rules  and  regulations  pro- 
vided b\  state  and  municipal  enactment  for  the  protection  of 
the  public  health.  The  board  were  especially  interested  in 
the  conference  of  sanitary  officers  held  in  this  city  in  October, 
and  belie\e  the  state  association  then  formed  will  accomplish 
much  toward  securing  better  enforcement  of  the  sanitary  laws 
as  well  as  improvement  of  the  code.  The  annual  meetings 
of  the  association  will  be  held  in  our  cit}',  and  we  wish  those 
who  feel  an  interest  in  the  subject  of  sanitation  w'ould  make 
an  effort  to  be  present  at  some  or  all  of  the  sessions.  As  in 
former  3-ears,  the  board  ha\e  been  placed  under  great  obliga- 
tion by  the  courtesv  and  co-operation  of  his  honor  the  mayor 
and  the  members  of  the  city  council. 

The  board  again  desire  to  record  their  appreciation  of  the 
work  done  by  the  executive  officer  of  this  department, 
Charles  E.  Palmer,  wdiose  interest  in  his  work  and  his 
especial  fitness  for  it  make  his  services  to  the  public  each 
year  more  valuable.  The  board  feel  that  his  fellow-citizens 
appreciate  his  efficiency,  for  on   many  occasions  unsolicited 


SANITARY    DEl'ARTilENT.  279 

spoken  or  written  testimonials  have  been  given,  but  they  wish 
to  call  especial  attention  to  his  work  during-  the  past  year  as 
shown  by  the  records  of  the  department.  Mr.  Palmer  in  the 
twelve  months  of  1S96  investigated  53S  complaints  of 
nuisances;  inspected  712  blocks,  houses,  etc.  ;  supervised  the 
making  of  83  connections  with  the  sewers;  placarded  ^77 
cases  of  contagious  diseases,  and  made  1,411  visits  thereto; 
attended  eight  funerals;  fumigated  150  rooms  and  five  carri- 
ages; burned  47  pieces  of  bedding ;  issued  399  burial  permits; 
gave  249  permits  for  children  to  return  to  school,  and  made 
14  plumbing  tests.  The  above  facts  show^  how  industrious 
the  health  officer  has  been  :  we  would  add  our  testimon\'  to 
the  elficiencv  with  which  all  of  these  manifold  duties  have 
been  performed,  and  congratulate  the  citv  on  having  so  com- 
petent and  faithful  an  official  in  a  position  which  means  much 
to  the  welfare  of  a  community.  The  board  would  especially 
commend  Mr.  Palmer's  firmness  in  securing  compliance  with 
the  regulations  of  the  department.  The  public  generalh"  co- 
operate heartily  with  the  officials  in  a  careful  observance  of 
the  city's  sanitary  code.  The  exceptions  are  very  few  in  the 
course  of  a  year.  One  of  the  most  notable  is  the  objection 
sometimes  made  to  fumigation,  although  no  duty  is  more 
clearly  prescribed  by  the  sanitary  regulations  than  this.  It 
has  been  the  constant  aim  of  the  board  to  treat  all  fairh',  in 
this  matter  as  in  all  others. 

Diphtheria. 

Our  plan  of  microscopical  examination  in  the  diagnosis  of 
diphtheria,  inaugurated  last  year,  met  with  the  very  hearty 
approval  of  t!ie  physicians  and  has  been  continued  with  great 
satisfaction  this  year.  Prior  to  this  innovation,  a  benign  in- 
flammation was  not  infrequently  diagnosed  as  diphtheria  v»ith 
the  consequent  placarding  of  the  house,  quarantine,  and  dis- 
comfiture of  the  family  ;  again,  the  malignant  throat  was 
not  recognized  until  the  unexpected  death  happened,  —  then 
the  neighborhood  was  alarmed  and  our  board  unjustly  crit- 
icised because  isolation  was  not  enforced.  All  this  may  now 
be  obviated  by  making  use  of  this  method   of  diagnosis  freely 


:^'*^0  CITV    OF    CONCORD, 

placed  at  tlie  disposal  of  the  profession.  Dr.  A.  K.  Dav  has 
very  acceptably  attended  to  our  bacteriological  work  since 
July  I.  Very  few  outside  the  medical  fraternity  understand 
the  meaning  of  rubbing  a  piece  of  wire  across  the  inside  of 
the  throat,  and  it  may  be  well  to  state  its  meaning.  Diph- 
theria is  now  believed  to  be  due  to  a  characteristic  bacillus : 
the  wire  introduced  into  the  throat  or  nose  comes  in  contact 
with  the  germs;  it  is  then  drawn  across  a  nutrient  medium  in 
the  glass  tube  wherein  the  germs  develop  and  under  the 
microscope  are  recognized.  We  are  herebv  enabled  within 
twenty-four  hours  to  know  the  nature  of  the  membra.ne  and, 
if  the  bacilli  are  not  present,  are  assured  of  the  person's  right 
to  mingle  with  others.  We  hope  the  public  appreciate  how- 
much  this  means  to  them  ;  chancg  has  given  place  to  certainty 
and  a  diagnosis  made  as  accurately  as  science  of  to-day  will 
allow. 

We  are  rejoiced  to  note  the  more  general  use  of  antitoxine 
in  the  treatment  of  this  disease  and  are  able  to  say  its  results 
have  been  gratifying;  out  of  the  fiftyrfive  cases  reported  to  us 
during  the  year,  it  was  used  in  twenty-five  of  them  with  a 
mortality  of  one,  or  four  per  cent.  In  the  thirty  cases  not 
treated  by  antitoxine  there  was  a  mortality  of  seven,  or  twenty- 
three  and  one  third  per  cent.  The  death-rate  of  all  cases  was 
fourteen  and  one  half  per  cent.  The  cases  where  antitoxine 
were  used  were  not  selected  cases  but  were  of  the  usual  order  ; 
in  fact,  the  serum  therapy  was  not  resorted  to  in  some  of 
them  until  it  seemed  they  were  about  to  prove  fatal  and  in 
the  only  death  under  its  use  the  parents  of  the  child  refused 
to  allow  the  attending  physician  to  make  the  injection  until  it 
was  almost  certain  death  would  ensue. 

This  experience  is  certainly  worthy  of  publicity.  The 
figures  cannot  be  disputed  ;  this  so-called  new  treatment,  other 
things  being  equal,  has  in  our  city  during  the  past  twelve 
months  proven  to  be  six  times  as  efficacious  in  the  saving  of 
lives  as  the  old  treatment.  The  experimental  stage  has 
passed  ;  its  standing  in  medicine  to-day  is  pronounced  ;  our 
phvsicians  are  alive  to  the  advancements  of  the  times  and  are 
to  be  congratulated  on  their  interest  taken  in  this  question.

Measles, 

While  along  certain  lines  our  work  has  become  more  scien- 
tific and  efiective,  as  in  the  management  of  diphtheria  and 
scarlet  fever,  on  the  other  hand  the  present  methods  in 
caring  for  measles  seem  to  be  of  no  avail  in  controlling  the 
disease.  If  we  are  ever  to  obtain  satisfactory  results  from 
our  labor,  the  same  rigid  system  must  be  followed  as  in  the 
more  severe  ailments. 

Tuberculosis. 

An  examination  of  our  vital  statistics  reveals  the  deplora- 
ble fact  that  eight  and  one  half  per  cent,  of  our  loss  has  been 
due  to  this  most  deadly  of  all  preventable  diseases,  the  subject 
of  study  of  medical  men  and  sanitarians  everywhere.  This, 
of  all  infectious  diseases,  is  the  most  amenable  to  hygienic 
measures  for  its  prevention  —  now  our  only  resource.  The 
encouraarin"'  feature  is,  that  statistics  show  a  decreasing  mor- 
tality,  due  doubtless  to  an  ever  increasing  general  knowledge 
of  the  sources  of  danger  and  the  true  nature  of  the  disease. 
The  public  know  that  to  produce  it,  the  tubercle-bacillus, 
the  germ,  must  find  lodgment  in  the  human  body.  This 
may  be  through  the  air  we  breath,  poisoned  by  sputa  from  a 
tuberculous  subject,  which  has  been  allowed  to  become  dry, 
and  if  pulverized  floats  as  dust.  The  remedy  is,  to  never 
allow  it  to  dry  in  spittoons,  on  cloths,  or  in  any  other  wav. 
Moisture  holds  the  germs  and  prevents  absolutely  their  difib- 
sion  in  the  air.  Attendants  in  sick  rooms,  or  wherever  such 
disease  is  suspected,  should  remove  all  dust  from  furnishings 
with  a  damp  cloth  and  not  simph'  float  it  in  the  air  for  in- 
halation or  redistribution.  Another  source  of  danger,  a  very 
grave  one,  is  our  food  supply,  such  as  milk  from  tuberculous 
cows.  This  has  become  more  criminally  inexcusable  now 
that  the  disease  is  so  readily  detected  ;  but  whatever  general 
legislation  is  proposed  there  should  be  coupled  with  it  certain 
requirements  in  the  care  of  stock,  pertaining  to  light,  ventila- 
tion, etc.      Dark,  damp,  ill-ventilated,  crowded  quaiters  favor

the  growth  of  tlie  tubercle-bacillus  in  man  or  beast.  In- 
struction in  our  public  schools  on  this  subject  Avould  greatly 
aid  in  its  limitation  and  soon  prove  that  the  disease,  terrible 
though  it  be,  is  not  a  necessary  evil. 

In  case  of  death,  apartments,  furnishings,  clothing,  etc., 
should  be  thoroughly  fumigated  and  cleaned  under  the  di- 
rection of  the  health  officer.  In  nearly  all  cases  it  is  being 
done  but  there  is  no  ordinance  requiring  it. 

Fumigation. 

Sulphin-  fumigation  is  possessed  of  so  many  disagreeable 
features,  that  we  were  deeph'  interested  in  the  proposed  use 
of  formic  aldehyde  gas  for  the  purpose,  and  in  conjunction 
with  Dr.  Watson,  of  the  state  board  of  health,  and  our  bacteri- 
ologist. Dr.  Day,  a  series  of  experiments  were  conducted  to 
test  its  efficiency. 

Cultures  of  the  Klebs-Loeffler  bacillus,  the  germ  of  diph- 
theria, were  used,  but  while  the  gas  was  generated  in  the 
strength  supposed  to  be  requisite,  .and  was  found  far  more 
agreeable  than  sulphur  fumes,  and  harmless  to  everything  in 
the  room,  it  was  also  ineffective  on  the  germs.  It  is  hoped 
that  by  perfection  of  this  method  or  some  other  equally  im- 
objectionable  one,  sulphur  fumigation  may  soon  be  relegated 
to  the  past. 

Plumbing. 

The  board  would  renew  its  recommendations  of  past  years  in 
regard  to  an  inspector  of  plumbing,  but  the  experience  of  our 
sister  cities  would  seem  to  show  that  general  legislation  is 
needed  as  well  as  municipal  ordinance.

the  past  year.  It  is  the  aim  of  this  department  to  pay  strict 
attention  to  all  matters  affecting  the  public  health,  and  the 
department  has  been  reasonably  successful  in  bringing  about 
good  results,  as  this  report  will  show.  The  number  of  re- 
quests for  investigation,  and  complaints  for  existing  nuisances, 
and  those  found  by  house  inspection,  are  shown  bv  the  fol- 
lowinsr  summary  :

The  above  complaints  have  been  duly  inspected,  and  when 
iustihable  an  order  has  been  issued.  As  a  rule  these  orders 
are  well  complied  with  ;  the  exceptions  are  reported  to  you  at 
your  weekly  meetings,  and  an  order  of  the  board  issued. 

Sanitary  Inspections. 

This  work  has  been  extended  during  the  past  year  over 
sections  of  the  city  contiguous  to  those  inspected  in  1895, 
and  has  included  the  business  and  tenement  blocks  in  the 
compact  part  of  the  city.  The  method  of  carrying  out  this 
work  and  recording  results  has  been  the  same  as  that  insti- 
tuted last  vear.  This  systematic  plan  of  work  is  of  great 
value  to  the  board,  in  that  it  enables  it  to  act  impartially  and 
not  feel  obliged  to  wait  until  someone  enters  a  complaint, 
which,  though  often  just,  is  sometimes  made  from  other 
motives  than  those  of  sanitary  reform.  The  following  table 
will  give  the  amount  of  work  done  in  this  connection  :

Sewer  Inspectiox. 

In  compliance  with  the  city  ordinance  I  have  endea\ored 
to  perform  my  duty  as  regards  the  enforcement  of  the  rules 
and  regulations  relative  to  sewers  and  drains.  In  three  cases 
parties  have  attempted  to  make  connections  with  the  main 
sewer  without  having  the  same  inspected,  but  in  each  case 
they  have  been  made  to  conform  to  the  regulations,  as  soon  as 
the  fact  became  known.  During  the  year,  eighty-three  sewer 
connections  have  been  made,  a  complete  record  filed  in  the 
office  of  the  board  of  health,  and  copies  sent  monthlv  to  the 
city  council.  The  following  table  shows  the  various  sizes 
and  kinds  of  pipe  used  :

A  total  of  5,179  feet,  or  an  average  of  62  feet  for  each  lat- 
eral sewer.  This  amount  of  drainage  has  been  furnished  to 
the  followingr  classes  of  building-s  :

It  would  be  of  much  benefit  if  such  change  could  be.  made 
in  the  city  ordinances  as  would  place  the  granting  of  permits 
to  enter  the  sewer  in  the  direct  control  of  the  inspector's 
office,  in  order  that  he  might  be  informed  in  season  to  make 
inspection  as  occasion  may  require. 

Public  Health. 

The  general  health  of  the  citv  during  the  year  1896  has 
compared  favorably  with  previous  years,  the  number  of 
deaths  being  343,  a  mortality  of  14.5  per  1,000  inhabitants. 
The  mortuary  table  furnishes  nearly  all  the  information  that 
could  be  desired. 

Contagious  Diseases. 

The  total  number  of  cases  of  diseases  dangerous  to  the 
public  health  which  have  been  reported  to  the  board  during 
the  year  can  be  seen  in  the  following  table.  In  the  control 
of  this  public  danger  I  have  endeavored  to  strictly  enforce  the 
rules  which  were  revised  and  adopted  in  1895.  The  school 
pamphlets  have  been  found  of  great  service,  and  the  thanks 
of  the  board  are  due  the  teachers  in  the  public  schools  for  a 
faithful  compliance  with  the  conditions  of  admitting  children 
who  have  been  kept  out  of  school  by  reason  of  contagious 
disease.

Weekly  reports  of  the  contagious  diseases  existing  in  the 
city  have  been  prepared,  and  sent  to  the  state  board  of  health, 
also  to  the  United  States  Marine  Hospital  Service  at  Wash- 
ington, D.  C.

Diphtheria. 

It  will  be  seen  by  the  above  table  that  55  cases  have  been 
reported  with  a  fatality  of  8,  as  compared  ^vith  35  cases  in 
189^,  with  the  same  fatality.  Sixty  bacteriological  examina- 
tions haye  been  made  which  haye  enabled  physicians  to  make 
as  early  a  diagnosis  of  the  disease  as  possible.  Of  the  60  ex- 
aminations 24  proved  to  be  negative,  which  cases  would  have 
been  held  and  treated  as  true  diphtr.eria  under  the  old  system. 
Thirty-two  re-examinations  have  been  made  to  determine  the 
time  when  it  was  safe  to  discharge  the  diphtheritic  patients 
from  isolation.  Antitoxine  has  been  used  to  some  extent 
with  excellent  results  in  reducing  the  percentage  of.  deaths  to 
the  number  of  cases.  In  onlv  a  single  instance  has  death 
resulted  where  antitoxine  has  been  used.  The  expense  of 
the  bacteriological  examinations  has  been  $212  for  year  1896. 

ScAKLET  Fever. 

There  have  been  but  four  cases  of  scarlet  fever  reported 
during  the  ^■ear,  none  proving  fatal,  as  compared  with  44 
cases  in  1895,  with  a  fatality  of  8.  All  cases  were  promptly 
isolated  and  its  spread  was  thus  prevented. 

A1easi.es. 

Four  hundred  and  fifty-two  cases  of  measles  have  been  re- 
ported to  the  board  during  the  year.  Between  the  months  of 
September  and  December  we  experienced  the  greatest  epi- 
demic of  this  disease  known  in  the  history  of  the  board. 
While  no  deaths  resulted,  man}-  classes  in  school  were  sadly 
depleted.  It  is  difficult  for  the  board  to  prevent  the  spread 
of  this  disease  on  account  of  its  extreme  contagiousness  and 
from  the  fact  that  many  people  look  upon  it  as  one  of  the 
necessaiy  ills  to  which  children  are  exposed,  and  oftentimes 
object  to  taking  the  necessary  precaution  to  prevent  infection, 
some  persons  even  going  so  far  as  to  expose  their  children 
voluntarily  to  the  disease  in  order  to  get  over  with  it.

Typhoid  Fever. 

This  disease  has  declined  in  the  past  year;  i^  cases  were 
reported  to  this  office  during  the  year  and  5  deaths  resulted. 
Eight  of  the  cases  were  imported,  that  is,  the  disease  had 
been  contracted  elsewhere  and  manifested  itself  shortly  after 
the  patient  reached  our  city.  In  only  two  instances  where 
the  disease  existed  have  I  found  defective  plumbing  and  gen- 
eral unsanitar3-  condition  of  premises.  In  this  connection,  I 
would  call  attention,  as  in  other  years,  to  the  importance  of  a 
code  of  plumbing  rules,  under  the  care  of  an  inspector  of 
plumbing.

Recommendations. 

I  would  respectfully  recommend  that  the  ambulance  be 
fitted  with  rubber  tires ;  such  tires  are  now  used  in  many 
places,  and  our  ambulance  should  be  fitted  up  so  that  any 
person  who  should  be  injured  could  be  carried  to  their  homes 
or  to   the   hospital  as  comfortably  as  possible. 

The  lobby  at  Penacook  is  in  a  wretched  condition  and  it  is 
wholly  unfit  for  use. 


308  CITY    OF    CONCORD. 

The  boiler  in  the  police  station  is  defective  and  should  be 
replaced  by  a  new  one. 

I  will  i-enew  my  recommendation  for  a  stable  suitable  for  a 
horse,  wagon,  and  ambulance. 

It  can  be  built  after  the  same  architectural  design  as  the 
police  station  for  $i,ooo. 

In  submitting  my  report  I  desire  to  express  my  gratitude  to 
the  board  of  police  commissioners.  His  Honor  Mayor 
Henry  Robinson,  and  the  city  council  for  their  considerate 
treatment  of  this  department.  Thanks  are  due  to  Harry  G. 
Sargent,  city  solicitor,  for  valuable  assistance  rendered. 

To  all  who  have  contributed  to  our  success  we  extend  our 
thanks. 

To  the  members  of  the  force  my  grateful  acknowledgment 
and  thanks  are  tendered,  for  their  efficiency  and  promptness 
in  the  discharge  of  their  duties. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

G.  SCOTT  LOCKE, 

City  Alarshal.

REPORT  OF  THE  CITY  SOLICITOR. 


To  the   City  Council : 

I  hereby  submit  m}-  annual  report  as  solicitor. 

The  only  causes  in  which  the  city  was  interested  as  a  party, 
that  were  pending  at  the  date  of  my  last  annual  report  were 
the.  suits  of  Kemp  t-.  Concord  and  Mary  J.  Gay  et  al  v. 
Concord.  The  first  of  the  aboye  suits  was  settled  by  my  ad- 
vice, by  the  payment  of  two  hundred  dollars  ($200)  which, 
in  yiew  of  the  tacts  of  the  case,  I  regarded  as  a  wise  settlement 
for  the  city.  The  case  of  Gay  v.  Concord  is  still  pending, 
no  action  haying  been  taken  by  the  plaintiff  to  bring  the  case 
to  trial.  During  the  last  year,  by  the  instruction  of  the  city 
council,  I  haye  brought  a  few  suits  in  fayorof  the  city  of  Con- 
cord against  indiyiduals  to  recover  taxes  which  were  unpaid. 
They  ha\  e  nearl}^  all  been  settled  up  and  are  of  no  public  in- 
terest or  importance,  lieing  for  small  amounts  and  cases  where 
the  city  has  no  lien  to  enforce  the  payment  by  a  sale  of  the 
property  and  a  suit  is  the  only  remedy  which  the  city  had. 

On  the  third  day  of  July,  1S96,  by  instruction  of  a  special 
committee  of  the  city  goyernment  consisting  of  the  finance 
committee,  with  the  city  solicitor  added,  I  instituted  suits 
against  the  bondsmen  of  Albert  I.  Foster  for  the  years  1893, 
1894,  and  189=5,  and  caused  their  real  estate  to  be  attached. 
These  suits  were  entered  at  the  October  term  of  1896 
of  the  supreme  court  for  this  county  and  are  still  pending 
therein.  Since  the  suits  were  brought,  an  offer  of  twenty  per 
cent,  of  the  amount  claimed  by  the  city  was  made  by  the 
bondsmen  to  the  special  committee  of  the  city  goyernment, 
before  referred  to,  and  the  offer  was  refused. 

During  the  year  advice  and  assistance  have  been  furnished 
by  me  to  the  officers  of  the  different  departments  of  the  city 
government,  as  requested.

REPORT  OF  PARK  COMMISSIONERS. 


To  tJic  City  Council: 

In  accordance  with  the  ordinance,  the  park  commissioners 
submit  herewith  their  annual  report  for  the  year  ending 
December  31,  1S96. 

Tlie  appropriations  were  made  as  follows  : 

White  Park           .....  $3,250 

Rollins  Park         .....  1,000 

Penacook  Park     .          .          .          .          .  100 

Parks  and  commons      ....  550 

The  work  of  improvement  during  the  year  has  been  more 
than  in  other  years.  At  White  Park  marked  progress 
has  been  made  in  filling,  also  in  the  planting  of  trees  and 
shrubs.  Howexer,  the  greatest  improvement  has  been  made 
at  the  outlet  of  the  pond  by  the  placing  of  a  stone  bridge. 
The  plans  were  drawn  by  Mr.  George  B.  Howe,  and  the 
contract  was  awarded  to  Mr.  Ola  Anderson  for  $775  and 
$3.50  a  perch  for  the  stone  foimdation.  Nothing  has  been 
attempted  which  has  added  so  much  to  the  eftectiveness  and 
adornment  of  the  park,  and  when  completed  with  grade,  and 
shrubbery  planted,  it  will  present  a  most  attractive  appearance. 

A  friend  interested  in  the  development  of  the  park  has 
contributed  the  sum  of  fifty  dollars  towards  the  completion  of 
the  bridge,  an  exami^le  which  we  hope  some  of  our  citizens 
will  follow. 

One  of  the  needs  of  the  park  at  the  present  time  is  an 
entrance  and  a  permanent  fence. 

The  lawns  have  been  kept  in  a  very  attractive  condition 
this  year,  and  \york  has  been  facilitated  by  the  purchase  of  a 
horse  lawn  mower,  thus  enabling  more  and  better  work  to  be 
accomplished. 


PUBLIC    I'ARKS.  315 

There  has  been  received  from  the  sale  of  wood  $116.65. 
Some  action  should  be  taken  whereby  the  Rowell  lot,  so 
called,  cornering  on  White  and  Beacon  streets  adjoining  the 
park,  could  be  secured,  at  the  original  cost  of  $1,400. 
Upon  this  lot  is  a  large  amount  of  grade,  and  the  park  has 
already  had  the  benefit  of  a  large  amoimt  without  cost.  This 
has  been  referred  to  in  previous  reports  and  fully  explained. 

There  will  need  to  be  a  further  appropriation  for  the  pay- 
ment of  the  bridge,  and  the  question  of  the  water  supply  has 
been  considered  by  the  park  commissioners,  and  an  appro- 
priation will  be  needed  to  make  the  present  supply  more 
efficient.  The  use  of  water  is  a  necessity  during  the  dry 
months,  for  without  it  many  of  the  shrubs  and  plants  suffer. 

It  will  soon  be  necessary  to  have  a  special  policeman 
stationed  in  the  park  during  a  part  of  every  day  and  a  larger 
part  of  Sunday. 

The  use  of  bicvcles  in  the  park  has  been  permitted,  yet  the 
commissioners  have  had  many  complaints  in  regard  to  same, 
and  it  is  hoped  when  the  play-ground  is  conipleted  that  a 
bicycle  track  will  be  one  of  the  features. 

With  the  limited  appropriation  that  we  have  had  from  year 
to  year,  the  extension  and  improvement  of  the  park  has  been 
necessarily  slow.  When  taking  into  consideration  that  within 
a  quarter  of  a  mile  of  the  park,  since  the  improvements 
began,  there  has  been  an  increase,  at  a  conservative  estimate, 
of  $300,000,  it  is  safe  to  sav  that  the  city  has  received  many 
times  over  the  amount  that  has  been  expended  on  this  one 
park.  This  feature  alone,  it  would  seem,  would  convince  the 
most  skeptical  that  whatever  money  the  city  invests  in  its 
park  system  would  be  one  of  the  best  investments  it  could 
make.  This  has  been  demonsti^ated  in  many  cities,  and 
needs  but  a  careful  inquiry  to  satisfy  one  in  regard  to  it. 

We  hope  your  honorable  board  will  make  a  generous 
appropriation  for  the  year  1897. 

ROLLINS    PARK. 

Improvements  at  Rollins  Park  have  been  very  marked. 
The  appropriation  has  been   nearly  exhausted,  and  shows  a 


31 G  CITY    OF    CONCOHD. 

careful  expenditure  of  same.  The  improvements  do  not 
reveal  themselves  to  the  casual  observer,  as  an  entrance  to  the 
park  is  needed  to  see  all  that  has  been  done. 

A  very  tasty  and  artistic  bridge  has  been  constructed, 
together  with  the  planting  of  evergreens,  shrubs,  and  trees ; 
also  some  hundreds  of  ferns  have  been  transplanted  and 
rockeries  built.  The  roads  have  been  recoated  and  the 
grounds  cleaned  up. 

It  was  decided  to  construct  on  the  Broadvva}'  side  of  the 
park  a  stone  wall,  together  with  an  entrance,  which  has 
improved  the  surroundings  very  materially.  This  work  was 
entrusted  to  Mr.  George  E.  Chesley,  and  has  been  constructed 
in  a  workmanlike  manner.  Fully  one  half  of  the  entire 
length  of  the  line  on  Broadway  has  been  built. 

Trees  will  be  planted  in  the  spring,  and  the  improvements 
will  go  forward  in  accordance  \\ith  the  appropriations  which 
will  be  made  for  the  work. 

The  commissioners  regret  that  the  petition  for  a  street  on 
the  north  side  of  the  park  has  been  dismissed,  for  it  will  be  a 
detriment  to  the  park  to  have  adjoining  lots  which  cannot  be 
controlled. 

PEXACOOK     PARK. 

Penacook  Park  has  been  under  the  same  management  as  in 
prcA'ious  years.  The  appropriation  has  not  been  entirely 
spent,  the  grounds  have  been  kept  in  a  fair  condition,  and 
have  been  used  to  some  extent. 

PARKS    AND    COiMMONS. 

The  commissioners  asked  fur  a  special  appropriation  to 
be  made  at  the  beginning  of  the  year,  and  the  amount  of 
$550  was  appropriated  for  parks  and  commons.  This  was  a 
new  feature,  and  the  idea  was  that  certain  localities  in  our 
city,  which  were  lying  idle,  could  be  made  attractive,  thus 
extending  our  park  system  throughout  the  city  where  oppor- 
tunity aflbrded.  A  special  committee  appointed  to  expend 
the  money  took  the  triangle  on  North  State  street,  just  south 
of  the  pumping  station,  and  began  operations  late  in  the 
summer.      The  ground  was  stripped  of  loam  and  graded  with 


IT H Lie    PAKKS.  317 

over  seven  lumdred  loads  of  tilling-,  putting  the  loam  back 
upon  same;  the  whole  work  behig  carried  on  in  conformity 
with  a  plan  submitted  by  Mr.  James  H.  Bowditch,  of  Boston. 

The  whole  amount  of  the  appropriation  has  been  expended 
upon  this,  and  there  will  be  needed  some  more  money  to 
properh'  plant  the  grounds  with  shrubs.  This  the  commis- 
sioners feel  will  prove  a  very  attractive  feature  to  our  city, 
and  after  the  first  cost  of  developing,  care  can  be  maintained 
with  very  little  expense;  and  it  is  hoped  that  its  beauty  and 
utility  will  demonstrate  to  our  citizens  the  advisability  of 
fixing  up  other  plats  from  year  to  year. 

It  has  been  ii>timated  that  certain  pieces  of  land  will  be 
donated  to  the  city  upon  the  acceptance  and  improvement  of 
the  same  for  park  purposes. 

The  commissioners  are  continually  reminded  that  there 
is  a  great  lack  of  some  place  in  the  centre  of  the  city  where 
seats  can  be  placed,  and  welcome  given  to  strangers  who 
may  be  tarrying  in  our  city  for  a  few  hours.  The  piece  of 
ground  in  the  rear  of  the  state  house  has  been  suggested  as  a 
very  desirable  place  for  such  a  purpose  ;  and  if  arrangements 
could  be  made  with  the  state  for  the  use  of  same,  the  citj- 
could  develop  and  care  for  it,  thus,  at  small  expense,  carry- 
ing out  a  felt  demand. 

A  city,  in  developing  a  park  system,  is  doing  somethino- 
which  will  last,  and  from  year  to  ^■ear  grows  better  and  more 
attractive.  It  is  not  so  with  much  of  the  work  done  in  other 
departments,  for  so  much  deteriorates  from  year  to  year;  but 
as  years  go  by,  the  park  will  be  ever  increasing  in  value  and 
a  gratification  to  the  succeeding  generations. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted.

CEMETERY  DEPARTMENT. 


REPORT  OF  COMMISSIONERS. 


To  tJie  Mouorablc  Board  of  flavor  and  Alder/nei/ : 

Your  commissioners  of  cemeteries  beg  leave  to  submit  the 
following  report : 

The  work  of  last  year  has  been  carried  on  in  mucli  the 
same  manner  as  in  previous  years.  A  large  amount  of  grad- 
ing has  been  done  in  Blossom  Hill  Cemetery.  The  gravel 
hill  which  has  marred  the  beauty  of  our  beautiful  cemetery 
so  long  has  been  mostly  removed.  Not  liaving  sufficient 
funds  at  our  command,  we  could  not  finish  the  work  of  its 
removal,  but  hope  to  complete  it  the  coming  year. 

We  have  prepared  no  block  of  new  lots  during  this  year,  a 
large  one  having  been  graded  and  prepared  last  year  ;  but  we 
shall  be  obliged  to  arrange  another  block  during  the  coming 
year  as  a  large  amount  have  been  taken  during  the  year  just 
ended. 

The  occupants  of  this  ''City  of  the  Dead"  are  increasing 
rapidly.  Our  superintendent  reports  to  us  that  the  number 
of  burials  are  but  a  little  less  than  two  hundred  a  year.  Prep- 
aration must  be  made  each  year  for  a  similar  increase. 

We  feel  it  our  duty  to  call  your  attention  once  more  to  the 
necessity  of  a  chapel  at  Blossom  Hill  Cemetery.  We  need  a 
granite  structure;  one  that  will  do  honor  to  our  beautiful 
cemetery,  and  be  the  pride  of  our  city. 

We  have  endeavored  to  be  as  economical  as  possible,  and 
shall  expend  yvhatever  you  may  be  pleased  to  appropriate  for 
cemeteries  in  a  manner  that  will  warrant  the  closest  inspec- 
tion. 

21 


322  CITY    OF    CONCORD. 

There  being  no  grading  required  at  tlie  Old  North  Ceme- 
tery, our  work  there  has  been  mostly  in  repairing  lots  and 
beautifying  grounds. 

Whateyer  your  appropriation  may  be,  we  shall  endeavor  to 
make  it  go  as  far  as  possible,  yet  it  seems  to  us  that  it  should 
be  increased  from  last  year. 

We  cannot  think  for  a  moment  that  any  good  respectable 
citizen  ever  thinks  that  anything  is  too  good  for  the  dead,  or 
feels  that  taxation  is  burdensome,  owing  to  too  large  an  appro- 
priation  for  this  department.

Precinct,  located  at  the  Central  fire  station,  one  first-class 
Amoskeag  engine,  ''Eagle,"  with  modern  hose  wagon, 
attached  to  Eagle  Steam  Fire  Engine  company  (13  men)  ;  one 
second-class  Amoskeag  engine,  "Kearsarge,"  and  modern  hose

There  are  ten  horses  owned  by  the  city  kept  at  this  station. 
The  precinct  companies  have  swing  harnesses  upoji  all  appa- 
ratus except  steamers.  There  are  six  permanent  men  located 
at  the  Central  station  and  one  permanent  man  at  each  hose 
house  within  the  precinct. 

The  Alert  Hose  company  (11  men),  located  on  Washing-

While  the  net  loss  by  fire  has  been  far  in  excess  of  that  for 
the  preceding  year  the  city  can  be  regarded  in  no  other  light 
than  yery  fortunate,  as  the  loss  outside  of  that  suffered  by  the 
destruction  of  the  Prescott  Piano  Factory  has  been  yerv  small. 

The  apparatus  is  in  good  condition.  During  the  year  the 
hose  wagons  "Alert"  and  "Good  Will"  haye  been  thor- 
oughly repaired,  retouchetl,  and  yarnished. 

One  new  hose  wagon  has  been  purchased  and  placed  in 
service  at  Penacook.  Two  horses,  one  three-way  Deluge 
set,  and  four  hose  jackets  haye  also  been  pmxhased. 

One  hoi^se  has  become  incapacitated  through  age  to  prop- 
erly perform  the  arduous  duties  sometimes  demanded  of  a 
fire  department  horse.  This  horse  has  run  with  the  depart- 
ment a  great  many  years,  and  has  been  an  unusually  intelli- 
gent and  faithful  animal.  I  respectfully  recommend  that  it 
be  loaned  01;  given  to  the  highway  department,  which  would 
insure  good  care  and  light  vyork  for  the  remainder  of  life. 

The  department  is  destitute  of  service  hats,  and  I  respect- 
fully recommend  the  purchase  of  five  dozen  aluminum  hats. 
Also  the  purchase  of  one  thousand  feet  of  fabric  hose,  and 
one  pair  of  horses.

338  CITY    OF    CONCORD. 

The  fire-alarm  telegraph  system  is  in  good  condition.  All 
of  the  outside  boxes  have  been  rewired.  All  of  the  fire  sta- 
tions within  the  precinct  have  been  rewired.  All  of  the 
hard  drawn  copper  main  line  has  been  i^emoA-ed  and  iron 
wire  substituted.  One  mechanical  tapper  and  thirteen  direct 
action  tappers  have  been  added  to  the  system  and  the  main 
line  has  been  extended  two  miles. 

The  direct  action  tappers  are  owned  by  the  members  of 
the  department,  the  city  wiring  to,  and  maintaining,  them. 
This  work  was  expensive,  but  it  was  necessary  and  has  im- 
pi^oved  the  service.  It  can  therefore  be  regarded  as  money 
well  expended. 

As  predicted  in  the  last  report,  the  extension  call-bell  sys- 
tem has  been  discarded  and  the  main  line  removed.  Prior  to 
December,  the  gravity  battery  had  been  increased  from  183 
cells  to  20S  cells,  when  it  was  displaced  by  the  storage  sys- 
tem. There  are  now  190  storage  cells,  95  being  in  sei'vice 
on  alternate  da3'S. 

There  are  large  areas  in  the  city  unprotected  by  fire-alarm 
boxes,  and  I  respectfully  recommend  that  three  boxes,  at  least, 
be  added  to  the  system  during  the  coming  year. 

A  storage  battery  plant  and  appurtenances  has  been  pur- 
chased. By  contracting  for  this  plant  at  so  early  a  date  a 
saving  of  four  hundred  and  twenty-five  dollars  was  effected. 

The  thanks  of  the  community  are  due  to  the  fire  depart- 
ment committee  for  being  open  to  conviction,  for  so  promptly 
investigating  the  merits  of  the  storage  system,  and  to  the  city 
government,  for  so  promptly  adopting  and  carrying  out  their 
recommendations. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

W.  C.  GREEN, 

Chief  Engineer.

HISTORY  COMMISSION. 


In  answer  to  the  popular  demand  that  a  history  of  Concord 
be  written,  wliich  should  comprise  not  only  the  period  cov- 
ered b}-  Bouton  's  excellent  history,  which  closes  with  1S53, 
but  also  the  events  and  progress  made  since  that  time,  the 
city  government  appointed  a  commission  to  superintend  the 
execution  of  this  public  work.  It  is  now  nearly  half  a  cen- 
turv  since  any  attempt  has  been  made  to  preserve  in  perma- 
nent form  and  put  in  readable  shape  the  events  which  consti- 
tute the  history  of  the  capital  city  of  New  Hampshire.  Even 
Bouton  's  history,  which  deals  only  with  Concord  as  a  town, 
is  not  in  general  circulation  and  is  now  a  rare  volume,  read- 
ih'  commanding  from  $10  to  $15  per  copv-  Other  towns 
and  cities  of  the  state,  with  commendable  public  spirit,  have 
had  prepared  their  histories,  and  the  capital  citv,  rich  as  it  is 
in  material,  should  not  be  behind  hand  in  carrying  to  comple- 
tion its  present  worthy  undertaking. 

The  history  commission  has  given  to  the  consideration  of 
this  subject  much  time  and  thought,  has  heard  with  patience 
all  suggestions,  and  has  sought  information  from  all  quarters. 
In  the  preparation  of  the  history,  the  commission  desired  to 
avail  itself  of  the  services  of  all  those  wdio  are  qualified  for  this 
work,  and,  in  the  division  of  the  history,  for  the  history  is  to 
be  comprised  in  one  volume,  it  has  been  thought  best  to  devote 
from  one  third  to  one  half  of  the  book  to  a  narrative  or  out- 
line history  of  Concord  and  the  remainder  of  the  volume  to 
special  topics,  in  which  those  events  and  chai-acteristics  of  the 
city  deserving  special  attention  could  be  amplified  more  than 
in  an  ordinary  narrative.  In  doing  this,  it  has  followed  in 
part  the  plan  of  that  most  excellent  work,  the  Memorial 
History  of  Boston. 


346  CITY    OF    CONCORD. 

The  commission  has  had  in  mind  constantly,  in  the  prepa- 
ration of  this  work,  the  question  of  expense  and  it  hopes  to 
have  prepared  and  pubHshed  a  work  which  will  ultimately 
pay  for  itself.  Several  writers  to  whom  special  topics  have 
been  assigned  will  contribute  their  services.  A  good  part 
of  the  history  is  already  nearing  the  point  of  completion. 
Some  parts  are  already  done.  There  is  vet  some  preliminary 
work  to  be  completed  before  the  commission  issues  its  pro- 
spectus and  invites  subscriptions.  The  interest  of  the  citizens 
in  this  work  is  fully  shown  by  the  requests  already  made  by 
citizens  for  opportunity  to  subscribe  for  the  w'ork.  The  com- 
mission has  every  reason  to  believe  that  the  demand  for  the 
historv  will  be  sufficient  to  pay  for  its  writing,  compilation,  and 
publication.

AUDITOR'S  REPORT. 


To   the    City    Council  : 

The  city  auditor  is  required  by  the  ordinance  creating  Inis 
office  to  prepare  for  publication  the  annual  report  of  the  city, 
and  to  have  it  ready  for  distribution  on  or  before  March  i, 
following  the  close  of  the  financial  year.  It  has  been  the 
practice  for  a  number  of  years  to  keep  open  the  treasurer's 
books  after  the  first  of  January,  that  all  sums  due  to  the  city 
for  the  preceding  year  mav  be  collected  and  that  all  out- 
^  standing  claims  may  be  settled.  This  practice  has  been  fol- 
lowed for  the  vear  1896,  and  the  books  were  not  closed  until 
the  latter  part  of  Januar}',  1S97.  This  leaves  but  a  brief 
time  in  which  to  compile  and  print  the  report.  It  has  been 
impossible  for  the  auditor  to  hold  any  part  of  the  report  for 
comparison  and  verification  with  any  other  part  and  have  the 
published  report  ready  for  distribution  at  the  time  specified  in 
the  ordinance.  Unless  the  time  for  the  distribution  of  the 
report  is  fixed  at  a  later  date,  it  would  be  advisable  hereafter 
to  close  the  books  at  an  earlier  date  in  Januarv,  and  report  the 
claims  unpaid  as  outstanding. 

In  accordance  with  the  spirit  of  the  auditor  ordinance  and 
by  direction  of  the  committee  on  finance,  the  several  de- 
partments of  the  city  have  been  required  to  present  their  bills 
to  the  auditor  for  approval,  and  the  claimants  have  been  re- 
quired to  present  the  orders  received  therefor  to  the  city  treas- 
urer for  payment.  Prior  to  the  passage  of  this  ordinance,  it 
was  the  custom  for  the  treasurers  of  the  several  departments, 
or  their  executive  officers,  to  draw  the  money  in  bulk  and  dis- 
burse it,  returning  receipted  bills  and  pay-rolls  as  vouchers 
for  such  payments.  Except  in  case,  of  a  few  of  the  suburban 
highway  districts,  the  present  system  of  having  all  payments 
made  by  the  city  treasurer  is  without  serious  inconvenience  to 
anyone,  and  is  in  accord  with  the  methods  in  vogue  in  other 
municipalities. 


348  CITY    OF    CONXORD. 

The  auditor  is  required  to  prepare  estimates  for  appropria- 
tions for  each  financial  year,  and  to  submit  the  same  to  the 
committee  on  finance.  In  calling  for  these  estimates,  the 
several  departments  have  been  requested  to  furnish  the  esti- 
mates in  detail  instead  of  asking  for  a  lump  sum  for  the  use 
of  the  department.  It  is  suggested  that  the  appropriations  in 
like  manner  be  made  in  detail.  If  this  course  is  followed, 
appropriations  made  for  one  purpose  cannot  be  used  for 
another.  The  city  government  is  then  brought  into  closer 
touch  with  the  departments  in  regard  to  their  expenditures, 
and,  in  the  case  of  purchases  unprovided  for  at  the  beginning 
of  tlie  fiscal  year,  the  department  will  be  obliged  to  come  to 
the  city  council  to  obtain  a  specific  appropriation.  If  appro- 
priations are  made  in  detail,  there  is  not  that  inducement  to, 
make  unnecessary  purchases  that  arises  where  an  appropria- 
tion is  for  a  round  sum,  to  be  expended  at  the  discretion  of 
the  department. 

Some  of  the  departments  keep  an  itemized  account  ot  their 
expenditures,  and  know  the  condition  of  their  appropriations 
at  all  times  in  the  year.  Others  have  no  knowledge  of  the 
standing  of  their  appropriations  until  they  are  notified  by 
the  auditor  that  the  appropriation  is  exhausted.  It  is  only 
by  keeping  track  of  its  appropriations  that  a  department  is 
able  to  tell  whether  the  appropriations  originally  granted  by 
the  city  government  will  be  exceeded  before  the  close  of  the 
fiscal  year. 

I  have  the  honor  to  submit  herewith  a  final  report  of  the 
accounts  of  Albert  I.  Foster,  tax  collector,  for  the  years  1S93, 
1S94,  and  1895,  showing  the  amount  of  deficit  for  each  year, 
the  amount  due  from  the  bondsmen  in  accordance  with  the 
settlement  authorized  by  the  city  council,  the  loss  to  the  city, 
and  the  collections  made  of  the  uncollected  taxes  by  George 
A.  Foster,  who  was  elected  tax  collector  for  the  purpose  of 
completing  the   collections  of  these  years.
