MAYOR'S ADDRESS.
Gentlemen of tJie City Council :
The opening of this municipal term occurs at the begin-
ning of a new century. It is especiall}' desirable that our
management of city aflairs shall compare favorably with those
of preceding administrations and with those which will come
hereafter.
Next April will complete forty-eight years of municipal
government in Concord. The change from town to city
organization was accomplished only after strenuous opposi-
tion, three trials at the polls being necessary to secure the
adoption of a city charter. Since the adoption of the charter
the aftairs of the city have progressed steadily. Our popula-
tion has more than doubled, our voters trebled, and our val-
uation quadrupled. The care and protection of the interests
of the city bring serious responsibility. In the performance
of ovu" duties it will be necessary to bear in mind that the peo-
ple of Concord have a right to expect a high degree of effi-
ciency in their public officials, and it will be only by persist-
ent effort, with an eye single to the welfare of the city, that
their expectation can be realized.
At the outset, I desire to express my great appreciation of
the honor which has been conferred upon me by my selection
as chief magistrate of the city.
I fully realize that the position to which I have been called,
through no desire of my own, is one of the most difficult and
troublesome which exists in the state. It would undoubtedlv
be much more comfortable for me personally, if I could have
seen my wav clear to avoid the responsibility which now
devolves upon me. Not feeling it advisable to do this, I

accept the situation with all the ditHculties and perplexities
which are involved and will endeavor to emulate, so far as
possible, the many worthy men who have preceded me in the
office.
There is nothing on earth so contemptible as a man who
tries to go through life without incurring responsibility. The
conduct of human affairs requires that some one must bear
the burdens and be accountable for the results. This duty
now devolves upon us. How well we shall be able to per-
form it, the future must determine.
FINANCE.
It is not my purpose to go into details in regard to the
figures which make up the statement of the financial condi-
tion of the city. The report of the city treasurer, which will
be laid before you, furnishes all these details in a compre-
hensive manner. It appears that the

MAYOR S ADDRESS. O
The utmost care must be used to prevent an increase in
expenses. The tax rate is ah'ead}' as high as is desirable,
althougii less than in many other cities. The credit of the
city stands very high, as is evidenced by the fact that during
the last year three per cent, bonds of the city have been dis-
posed of in the Boston market at a premivnn. The experi-
ment of abolishing the discount on taxes and providing for
the necessities of the city, before the current taxes are avail-
able, by temporary loans, seems to have been a good one for
the city. The difference between the amount paid for inter-
est on temporary loans and the amount discounted upon the
taxes paid, estimated upon the basis of the discount in 1S98,
the last year when the discount ordinance was in force, shows
a considerable balance in fevor of the city during the last two
years.
ASSESSMENT OF TAXES.
The proper assessment of taxes is a matter of the greatest
importance and has been frequently referred to, in vigorous
language, in inaugural addresses of preceding mayors. Not-
withstanding this fact, I have good reason to believe that
great inequalities exist in the present assessment of property
for taxation and that some radical measures will have to be
adopted in order that all property shall bear its just and rea-
sonable share of the public burden. It has been truly said
that "no more important office exists in the city than that of
the board of assessors."
It is the duty of the full board under the law to fix the val-
uations, and no member of the board can escape full responsi-
bility for inequalities in valuation, even though made by the
assessor of some other ward. If it is impracticable for the
full board in the first instance to make up the valuations in
each ward, they should carefully examine and revise all the
estimates of value made bv the assessor of a particular ward.
The boai'd of assessors should be composed of men who
have accurate judgment of property values and who are fear-
less and independent in the performance of their duties.
b CITY OF CONCORD.
It is a matter worthy of serious consideration whetlier the
method of selection of assessors ought not to be changed. A
board of nine assessors is unwieldy and too large for a satis-
factory performance of their duties. The sense of responsi-
bility resting upon each individual member of the board is
far less where it is distributed among nine members than it
would be if the responsibility were upon a smaller number.
Speaking in a general way and without intending to refer to
the present board of assessors, it seems doubtful whether the
present method of selecting assessors by election from each
ward is likely to secure as good results as if some other
method were used.
In considering this matter, I thought it might be useful to
ascertain the method of selecting tax assessors in other cities,
and accordingly I caused an investigation to be made as to
the course pursued in several cities in Massachusetts. The
result of this investigation leads me to believe that there is a
chance for great improvement in our manner of selecting
assessors as well as the number of members of which the
board should consist.
In the city of Chelsea, the taxes are assessed by a board of
three assessors, one being elected by the board of aldermen
each year. The chairman receives $850, and the other mem-
bers of the board $550.
In Fitchburg, the board consists of three assessors, one
being elected each year by the city councils.
In Waltham, the board consists of three assessors appointed
by the mayor and confirmed by the board of aldermen. The
annual salary of the chairman is six hundred dollars, and of
the other two members of the board five hundred dollars.
In addition to the board of assessors there are seven assist-
ants appointed each year, one from each ward, to take the
polls, who each receive three dollars per day for two weeks.
In Maiden, the board consists of three assessors, one mem-
ber being elected each year bv the city councils. The board
elects its own chairman and the members have a salary of five
hundred dollars each, the chairman receiving one hundred
MAYOR S ADDRESS. /
dollars extra. In addition, there is a clerk, not a member of
the board, who receives $1,200 a year under the civil service
law.
In Somerville, the board consists of five members appointed
by the mayor and confirmed by the board of aldermen, and
their terms of office are so arranged that either one or two
members of the board are appointed each year.
In Holyoke, the board consists of three members, one
member being elected by the city councils each year.
While the population of some of the cities mentioned varies
considerably from that of Concord, there seems to be no rea-
son why they may not throw light upon the question under
consideration. The selection of these particular cities in the
investigation, which I caused to be made, was entirely at
random and with no idea on my part as to what the result
would be. It seems significant that in not one of these cities
are members of the board elected from the different wards,
and in all the cities mentioned, except one, the board consists
of not over three members.
It has been suggested that it might be advisable for this
city to have a board of three assessors, one member to be
appointed each year either by the mayor and confirmed by
the aldermen, or directly by the board of mayor and alder-
men ; or by the city councils ; or elected upon the general
city ticket.
As the legislature is now in session an opportunity is
aftbrded to make any change which seems advisable in regard
to the number of which the board shall hereafter consist and
the method of selection.
While a radical change in the city charter, in this respect,
ought not to be made hastily or without due consideration, I
suggest whether it would not be wise to obtain from the legis-
lature authority to make such change provided the city coun-
cils subsequently vote to accept such legislation. By doing
this it will not be necessary to delay until the next session of
the legislature, in case the change is desired, and it will give
sufficient time for the city councils to thoroughly consider the
whole question.
I invite your immediate attention to this matter.
CITY OF CONCORD.
lllGinVAYS.
The matter of "■good roads" has received constantly
increasing attention in the last few years. Among the many
important and valuable ideas which our recent governor has
developed and promoted with a thoroughness and abilitv
which has made hiin prominent in his official position, there
is none to which he has devoted more attention or which is
of more practical value to the state than the matter of good
highways, and there is nothing which is of more importance
to the welfare of any city or town.
I wish that it was possible for this city to make an attempt
to embodv some of the ideas which he has so forciblv
expressed by a practical application to the future construction
and repair of our highways. Unfortunately the present rate
of taxation of most cities and towns is so high that it is doubt-
ful whether the scientific method of constructing and repair-
ing highways can be adopted, for the present, at least, without
a material and substantial contribution from the state towards
this object. I should be glad if this administration could be
made memorable by an attempt, even on a small scale, to
furnish an object lesson in proper road construction and
repair. But the financial condition of the city is such that it
does not seem wise to attempt anything more than to expend
as judiciously as possible the amount appropriated for high-
ways on the same general lines as it has been in recent years.
It is a matter of regret that many of our streets were origi-
nally laid out with little or no plan. During the last few
years many streets have been laid out at the suggestion of
landowners who desired to make their lots more valuable for
sale. These streets were laid cnit with no reference to exist-
ing streets or highways, so that we have miles of streets
which form no part of a direct line of travel from one point
to another, and seem to be in detached portions with refer-
ence to the main thoroughfares. This method of laying out
results in a great number of unnecessary streets, which adds
largely to the expense of keeping highways in repair, and
serves no good purpose.
mayor's address. 9
I would suggest that, whenever applications are made for
the laying out of a new street, the parties making such ap-
plication should be required to file with the city engineer a
plan of the land surrounding the proposed highway, which
should show where said proposed highway is located with
reference to existing streets. If this is done the matter of
laying out proposed new streets could be considered not only
with reference to the private property affected thereby, but
also with reference to existing streets and some general plan.
By this method, a good many unnecessarv streets can be saved
and such as are laid out will be in accord with the general
system of streets.
The protection and care of shade trees is a matter of great
importance. It adds greatly to our enioyment in the use of
highways and to the natural beauty of the scenery to have the
roads well shaded bv trees suitable for that purpose and which
are well cared for.
The commissioner of highwavs, in whose immediate charge
this matter rests, should give constant attention to this fea-
ture of the highway and should see that no shade tree is
destroyed except when the destruction is absolutely necessary
for tlie proper use of the highway. It is a fact not generally
understood that if any owner of real estate desires to remove
any shade or ornamental tree situated within the limits of a
public street, he must first obtain leave of the proper author-
ities. In many cases owners of real estate not having this
provision of law in mind destroy trees in the street in front
of their premises. In cases of this sort, the commissioner of
highways should give his immediate attention to the matter,
and see that the destruction or removal of such trees is pre-
vented until the propriety of their destruction or removal is
determined.
In the absence of the detailed report of the commissioner
of highways, I shall onlv allude in general terms to the pres-
ent condition of the streets and highways and their future
needs.
I am informed that with one or two exceptions the coimtry
roads are better than thev have been for some time. The
10 CITY OF CONCORD.
road leading from Concord to Loudon is in bad shape and a
considerable sum will be required to put it in fair condition.
Many of the old bridges have been replaced with new ones
and only a few smaller ones remain to be rebuilt. Although
many new streets have been laid out in the last few years, very
few have been constructed and they remain in the same shape
as they were when accepted by the city.
One of the most satisfactory kinds of material that has been
used in this city for the surface of streets seems to have been
coal-tar concrete. In 1896 Warren street from State to Main
street was paved with this concrete and it has proved far su-
perior to that portion of Warren street between State and
Spring streets which was macadamized.
The portion of Main street, north of School street, which
was paved with coal-tar concrete a number of years ago, so
far as I am aware, has given good satisfaction. I am informed
that the first cost of the concrete is much less than granite
blocks although it is not as durable. It is certainly much
more satisfactory for the ordinary purposes of light travel
while it lasts. Of course a pavement of granite blocks is less
expensive in the long run on account of its superior lasting
qualities.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Our public schools maintain their high rank as a factor in
the prosperitv of the city.
As the little education which I possess was acquired in the
public schools of this city, I have peculiar reasons for having
their interests much at heart.
I have reason to believe that the executive management, by
the superintendent, by the board of education, and also by
the departments of instruction, is very eflicient and that our
schools are not second, either in the acquirements to be de-
rived therefrom or in tlie method of furnishing means for
such acquirements, to similar schools in other cities. The
expense of maintaining our public schools is very large, and
yet the result accomplished seems to warrant the expense in-
volved.
mayor's address. 11
If I had any criticism to suggest as to the public schools or
their management, it would be that too much is attempted to
be accomplished. While a desire to accomplish everything
possible and to excel all others in similar undertakings is a
familiar feature of the modern competitive struggle in every
department of life, I wish that it did not enter into the prac-
tical conduct of our school aftairs. To me it would seem
more satisfactory if our schools should furnish a reasonably
substantial practical education without impairment of the
health of the pupil, than that they should excel the schools of
all other cities in the state in percentage of rank attained.
It is but natural, perhaps, that teachers and managers of
public schools desire that the schools under their charge shall
excel all others, for such a result is very apt to be accepted by
the public as conclusive evidence of the ability and efficiency
of school management. It is a matter of common knowledge
that quite a number of pupils who attend public schools here
and elsewhere are unable to pursue the course of study pre-
scribed without injuring to some extent their bodily or mental
health. It is gratifying to know that our educational author
ities are recognizing the importance of preserving the health
of the pupil and are devoting more attention to physical cul-
ture and exercise than was formerly the case.
PUBLIC LIBRARY.
During the past year the public library has received the
accumulations of the Seth K. Jones trust fund bequeathed for
the purchase of new books, amounting to $875.43. This will
be a welcome addition to the funds of the library and will add
considerably to its usefulness. By the terms of Mr. Jones's
will, the library will also receive each year for the purchase
of books between $14 and $15, which is a portion of the in-
come of a one thousand dollar bond.
The library is well patronized and appreciated. The cir-
culation during the present year has exceeded 88, 000. I am
informed that the reading-room in connection with the library
12 CITY OF CONCORD.
has been very extensively used. It is a matter for congratu-
lation that the facilities and equipments of the library are so
satisfactory, and nothing but praise can be said in regard to
the management.
The usual appropriation should be cheerfully granted.
NEW CITY BUILDING.
The necessity of a new city building has been generally
admitted for more than twenty years. One objection which
has been urged is the city's ownership in the present citv hall
building.
In 1S85 Mayor Woodman in his inaugural address, speak-
ing of the city hall building, used the following language :
"The building is poorly arranged and entirely unsuited to
our growing wants. Its location is objectionable and it fur-
nishes very small return for the investment there made. The
only room which it provides for office purposes is that of the
city clerk ; all the other offices being scattered about the city
as accommodations can l)e found.
"The hall itself in which we are now gathered is but little
used except at the biennial election and could easily be dis-
pensed with. As the county officials are now being urged to
provide better accommodations for the courts, it seems as if
the time had arrived for us to negotiate a sale of the city's
interest in the building and provide for all the city offices
under one roof."
The above language of Mayor Woodman states forcibly the
situation as it existed in 1SS5. Since that time the situation
has not changed for the better. It is true that some of the
city officers are now provided with an office in the police sta-
tion building instead of being scattered about the city as they
were foruierly. But the accommodations for these officers in
the police station are cramped and not well adapted for the
purposes for which they are used. The situation in the city
hall building has grown worse than it was in Mayor Wood-
man's time. The recent increase in the number of members
of the city government requires more space in which to hold
mayor's address. 13
city government meetings and there was hardly enough space
before the increase of membership. It is evident that some-
thing must be done immediately to provide proper quarters
for the transaction of the city's business. The only practical
plan seems to be the erection of a modern building which
shall be designed for the purposes for which it is to be used.
The location of such a building is an important and trouble-
some question. It has been suggested that it might be erected
upon the present city lot in the rear of the police station, thus
saving a large amount of money which would be required for
the purchase of a suitable lot. On the other hand, it has been
suggested that the city lot is not suitable for such a building
as should be erected and that a lot should be purchased in
some convenient location. The problem is a difficult one and
involves the expenditure of a large sum of money. As the
benefit to be derived from the new building would be chiefly
received in the years to come, it seems to me proper that the
expense caused by the erection of such a building should be
met by an issue of long time bonds. An addition to the in-
terest-bearing debt of the city is not desirable, yet I see no
other practicable way of providing for the expense of this ab-
solutely essential public improvement.
As is generallv known, the ownership of the lot on which
the present city building stands is divided between the county
and the city, the city owning about three fourths of the land
and one half of the building and the county owning the balance.
It is understood that a small portion of the land comprising
the city lot was conveyed, subject to the restriction that it
must be forever used for city purposes. Some arrangeinent
may have to be devised by which this restriction can be re-
moved, if it is thought advisable for the city and the count)^
to sell the lot as a whole. It may be that some arrangement
can be made with the county by which the city shall either
dispose of its interest to the county or the county dispose of
its interest to the city. It seems desirable that a committee
be appointed by the city government with power to confer
with the county commissioners or some committee to be ap-
pointed by the Merrimack County delegation in the present
14 CITV OF CONCORD.
legislature with a view to ascertain what arrangement can be
made that will be satisfoctory to the county and the city. An
arrangement of this sort is a prerequisite to taking any action
witli reference to the erection of a new city building.
I invite your attention to this matter and suggest that a
resolution be passed as soon as possible providing for the ap-
pointment of a committee to represent the city in this matter.
INDUSTRIES.
While some of the industries of our citv are in a fairly good
condition, there are a few which have had a hard strugle for
existence during the business depression of the last few years.
It is to be hoped that this struggle is now over and that they
will enter upon a period of long-continued prosperity.
So far as the city government in any proper way can aid the
industrial concerns of Concord and the worUingmen whom they
employ, I am heartily in favor of such aid and support being
furnished. The prosperity of this and all other cities and
towns depends very largely upon the success, comfort, and
prosperity of the workingmen. They have been its mainstay
and dependence in the past and always will be and to them we
must look more especially for the development of its indus-
trial enterprises.
In accordance with the recommendation of preceding may-
ors, I desire to urge upon your attention the importance of
the city government doing everything in its power toward
procuring the building of a railroad into the stone quarries.
If this can be brought about it will undoubtedly greatl}'
enlarge the granite industrj' and thereby be a source of great
benefit to the owners and workmen employed in these indus-
tries as well as to the merchants of our city.
The Commercial Club has been of great benefit to the city.
It has been well managed. The members have given freely
of their time and services to advance the interest of the city
and have been reasonably successful in their eflbrts. I trust
that its organization will be continued and that citizens gen-
erally will interest themselves in perpetuating it.
mayor's address. 15
water department.
The condition of tiie water department is in general excel-
lent. The work of replacing the cement lined pipe with cast
iron pipe is gradually going on and will probably increase as
each year goes by. It is necessary to replace from year to
year the insufficient supply and continually disintegrating
cement lined pipe with cast iron pipe and accomplish by
degrees what many cities have been forced to do at short
notice.
The city of Fitchburg replaced its entire system with cast
iron pipe at great expense, not daring to run the risk involved
in continuing to use the old cement lined pipe.
Our pipe has been in constant use for twenty-eight years
and each year serious breaks occur. The city has increased
largely and the South and West ends are growing to such an
extent that the old pipe is not sufficient to supply the water
taken in those sections. The city is absolutely dependent on
its water system and good judgment requires that it should
be equipped in the best possible manner and that extensions
should be made from year to year so that the present perma-
nent indebtedness of the water department shall not be
increased.
Prior to the last two years the city has paid to the water
department the sum of six thousand dollars for hydrant ser-
vice.
At the commencement of the last municipal term, the
appropriation for this purpose was omitted and nothing has
since been included in the taxes raised. It seems to me that
the hydrant tax is a just tax and as legitimate as the tax for
the fire department. It also seems clear that if this item is
not included in the taxes raised an unjust burden is thrown
upon the water takers, and that certain owners of property are
relieved from the payment of their share of expense incurred
for fire protection furnished to their property which thev
ought justly to bear.
The proposition, briefly stated, is this : The city has, at a
large expenditure, laid miles of pipe, a portion being solely
for fire protection, and unless it receives some compensation
for its hydrants, it gets no return for this part of the system.
16 CITY OF CONCORD.
The water takers pay for the water which they use for
domestic purposes, but there are a large number of people
within the limit of the fire precinct who, either for the whole
or a portion of the time, do not take any water and so pay
nothing at all to the city.
Some of these people live in the outskirts of tlie city where
they liave wells or springs and do not need the city water and
some of them are within the thickly settled part of the city,
but the buildings wiiich they own are vacant and so no water
is used, yet all their buildings receive the benefit which the
water affords for protection from fire. Merchants who own
large stocks of goods also receive this protection, but not being
water takers to any extent pay practically nothing tor the
water furnished for this purpose. It seems just that their
property should pay its fair proportion for the benefit so
i-eceived instead of putting the burden upon the people who
pay the water rates. The only way the property owned by
these non-water-takers can be reached is by a hj'drant tax
assessed upon all the property in the precinct. The assess-
ment of a six-thousand-dollar tax for hydrants is an equal
distribution over all the taxable property of the precinct. It
should be borne in mind that the revenue derived from the
hydrant tax also aids in paying a portion of the bonded in-
debtedness each year.
Since 1S89, when the hydrant tax was abated, the water
bonds have been extended by new issues instead of being paid
when they become due as heretofore.
I recommend that the hydrant tax be restored.
SEWERS.
The general sewerage system has been substantially com-
pleted, and there seems no reason to expect that extensions
or additions will be needed in the near future. It appears,
however, that the city engineer, on March S, 1900, commu-
nicated to the committee on sewers and drains, in writing, his
opinion that serious defects in the capacity of many sections
of the present sewerage system have been found. This con-
dition, according to the city engineer, is principally due to
mayor's address. 17
the general extension of the districts without providing
enlarged outlets for the thickly settled territory to be drained.
The communication of the city engineer sets forth in detail
the diftevent sections which he regards as inadequate. They
are located all over the city, and he estimates that to make
the changes and repairs which he recommends would involve
an expenditure of over $3i,ooo. While he is of the opinion
that these changes and repairs should be made as soon as
practicable, I do not understand that he regards it as abso-
lutely essential that any must be made at once except the
construction of a short section of twenty-four-inch pipe on
North Main street from Warren to Depot street at an esti-
mated cost of $600.
The details of his report will be laid before you for consid-
eration.
STREET LIGHTING.
The matter of street lights is one of much importance.
While there are, doubtless, many places which are not now
lighted where it would be desirable to have a street light, if
it could be accomplished without too great an expense, we
must make haste slowly in this direction. The expense for
street lighting is already quite large, and the tax rate is so
high that in many cases we may be unable to furnish additional
street lights where they may seem to be needed. The
expenses of the city are constantly increasing, and while there
should be no disposition to be parsimonious or niggardly, our
constituents have a right to require of us that we make every
effort against any increase in the tax rate, and to attempt, if
possible, a reduction thereof.
In regard to the present street lighting, I have no reason to
believe that the company which furnishes the light under the
contract with the city do not honestly and fairlv try to carry
out their contract according to its terms. But I am informed
that there is some complaint that through irregularity of the
power which furnishes the electric current, or defects in the
apparatus by which it is furnished, the lights are frequently
18 CITY OF CONCORD.
out in diflerent parts of the city and remain out tor a consid-
erable period of time, so that light is not furnished in those
localities to the extent agreed upon. I trust that whatever
the cause of this failure to furnish the lights continuously,
whether mechanical or otherwise, it will soon be rectified, so
that the lights will be furnished regularly to the full extent
agreed upon in the contract.
I would suggest that for the puipose of getting definite
information on this subject all police officers be instructed to
keep a record showing the period of time during which they
find the lights extinguished in difierent parts of the city.
A record of this sort will place the city council in a position
to either demand that a proper reduction be made from the
contract price for the failure to furnish the light agreed upon,
or to take such other action in regard to the matter as may
seem proper to protect the interests of the city.
WIRES AND POLES.
Considerable complaint has been made that a large number
of dead wires and unused poles encumber the streets of the
city. If such is the fact, measures ought to be taken to com-
pel their removal. The many wires and poles in the streets
which are now in actual use are an obstruction and a source
of danger to the public. There are many places in the city
where it would be difficult and dangerous for the fire depart-
ment to properly perform its duties, in case of fire, on account
of these obstructions.
I recommend that as soon as practicable, action shall be
taken to investigate and ascertain what poles and wires now
erected are in disuse, and that measures be taken for their
immediate removal. It is a matter for serious consideration,
and to which I invite your attention, whether all the wires
used for telegraph, telephone, and electric lighting purposes
should not be required to be placed in conduits underground.
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
An efficient police department is requisite in every city for
the safety of individuals and the protection of property.
mayor's address. 19
It is self-evident that experienced men are much more effect-
ive as police officers than new men can be. A fixed tenure
of office, so that an officer is not liable to be removed to grat-
ify political or personal spite of an individual or class, tends
to make an officer fearless and energetic in the discharge of
his duties. It is undoubtedly the fact that men on the present
force, with the experience derived from years of service, can
accomplish more than would be possible to new and untried
men however zealous they might be. The duties of police
officers at best are difficult and unpleasant. Ordinary com-
mon-sense would suggest that all good citizens, who have the
interest of the city at heart, ought to sustain and encourage the
members of the police department rather than to indulge in
indiscriminate criticism. An expression of distrust or loose
talk as to the honesty arid efficienc}' of a police or other
public official who is in fact honest, naturally makes such
official much less sensitive to the demands of that healthful
and enlightened public opinion which is an incentive to the
faithful performance of public duties and one of the safeguards
of our institutions. In my judgment, this citv from the
beginning has been very fortunate in its police department,
and I have heard no well-founded complaint as to the effi-
cienc}' and trustworthiness of its members. If, in the admin-
istration of afiairs, experience shall show that any official,
whether in the police or any other department, is unfaithful or
untrustworthy, so far as I have the power he will be held to a
rigid accountability.
The act establishing a board of police commissioners for
the city of Concord was approved February 23, 1S93. The
purpose of this and similar acts which have been passed, as
generally understood, was to remove the control of the police
force from politics and to create a tenure of office for the
individual members which would not subject them at each
election to the vicissitudes which frequently occur in city
elections. In my judgment, some changes can be made in
the police commission act which will be of advantage to the
city.
20 CITY OF COXCOKD.
The present act provides that the members of the poHce
force appointed by the commissioners shall serve during good
behavior and while competent to discharge the duties of the
office. This, in effect, makes it impossible for the police com-
missioners to reduce the number of the force unless it can be
shown that the member whose removal is desired, in order to
make the reduction, has failed to discharge his duties properly
or is incoiiTpetent by reason of physical or mental disability to
perform his duties. I would suggest that an amendment to
the act be procured, authorizing the police commissioners to
remove members of the force whenever, in their judgment, the
public good requires it. Under such a statute, police officers
would still have a reasonable tenure of office, because the
political success of one party or another in the city election
W'ould not affect them. On the other hand it would afford a
reasonable opportunity for the removal of members for the
purpose of reducing the number, and also an opportunity to
remove a member in cases where the board of police com-
missioners, in their judgment, are satisfied that such member
should be removed, even although no want of good behavior
or physical or mental disability can be shown.
The report of the city marshal, showing details relating to
the management of the police department during the last year,
will be laid before you. It contains several recommendations,
to which I invite your attention.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
I can say nothing except in commendation of the fire de-
partment. Under its present management, its affairs, in my
judgment, have been administered with strict economy, and
first-class ability and efficiency. The members of the depart-
ment show a surprising interest in its affairs and attend to
answering alarms and other duties with commendable prompt-
ness and zeal. When the amount of difficult and dangerous
work which they render to the cit}' each 3 ear is considered, it
is to be regretted that the compensation of the " call men " is
not larger than it is. If the tax rate was not so high, I should
favor an increase in this particular.
mayor's address. 21
In i8S6 the expense of maintaining this department was
about $12,000. It is now over $20,000.
The increase in expense since 18S6 is quite large, but I
think that the result fully justifies it. The department seems
fully adequate to present needs and pro"bably for a good many
years in the future.
It appears from the report of the "chief" that there has
been some unusual expense during the last year which will
not be likely to arise during the present year. He suggests
that the non-interference armatures in the fire-alarm boxes,
just purchased by the city, are unreliable, and such boxes
should be converted into Gardner boxes without delay. The
estimated expense of this change is about $600. I recom-
mend that this matter be given immediate consideration by
the committee on fire department.
There are various other recommendations made in his re-
port to which I invite your careful attention.
While I have not sufficient knowledge of the subject to
express my opinion upon these recommendations, I have the
utmost confidence in the purpose of the "chief" to perform
his duties with economy and with an eye to the interests of
the cit}^, and am therefore satisfied that his suggestions are of
weight and should be given proper consideration.
CITY HISTORY.
From the report that has been made by the history commis-
sion it is gratifying to learn that progress is being made with
the work of writing the history and that it is nearing comple-
tion. The city is to be congratulated that this important
matter is in such excellent hands. There is nothing of greater
interest or importance to the people of any city or town than
an accurate and well-written history of its events. It is now
expected that the history will be ready for delivery during the
present fall, although in a work of this kind it is impossible
to foresee many contingencies which may arise to delay its
publication.
22 CITY OF CONCORD.
It goes without saying that the city is greatly indebted to
the members of the commission who have generously given
their time without compensation for this commendable object.
SUSPENSION OF RULES.
The rules of the board of mayor and aldermen and common
council heretofore in force provide in substance that every
ordinance, order, or joint resolution shall be read a first time
for information, shall then be read a second time, if not
rejected or otherwise disposed of; shall then be referred to a
committee ; shall have a third reading when reported by the
committee, and shall then be put upon its passage. These
rules were manifestly designed to secure careful consideration
of all matters on which action of the city councils was con-
templated and to afford an opportunity for mature delibera-
tion in regard to such matters. During the last few years a
practice has grown up by which that portion of the rules
which requires the reference to a committee is in most cases
suspended and ordinances and resolutions are read three times
in succession and put upon their passage. It seems to me
that this is unwise. There may be cases where immediate
action is so necessary that a suspension of the rules is advis-
able, but it ought to be the rare exception instead of the
regular practice as it substantially is now. There will prob-
ably but few matters arise which will sutler from the delay
caused by referring such matters to the proper committee and
allowing them to lay over for a month. Such a course will
give the members of the city government an opportunity to
ascertain the feeling of the people upon public matters
before them, as well as give the members themselves sufficient
time for mature consideration. These remarks are not
intended to apply to such changes in the ordinances or rules
as are designed to facilitate the organization and procedure of
the city councils, nor to matters which lequire action at the
present session of the legislature.
mayor's address. 23
compe.vsation of members of city council.
The public statutes provide that no member of either
branch, except the mayor, shall receive any compensation for
his services. This law has been on the statute book for
many years, but in this city, and I presume in others, it has
been evaded by voting to each member of the city govern-
ment at the close of his term of service an amount for
committee service so-called. These amounts have been in the
case of members of the board of aldermen $60, and the
members of the common council $30, the members of the
committee on accounts and claims each receiving $15 extra,
the aldermanic members thus receiving $75, and the common
council members $45. It would seem that the sums paid for
so-called committee service are in direct violation of the afore-
said statute, yet it has been received and paid for many years
without question or objection. There is no doubt in my mind
that the members of the city council ought to receive at least
this compensation for their services and probably ought to
receive more. It seems to me that legislation should be
obtained authorizing compensation to be made so that no
question can hereafter arise as to its legality.
PROHIBITORY LAW.
While the practical details in connection with the enforce-
ment of the prohibitory law must necessarily be performed
by the police department, and while the practical results to be
derived therefrom must largely depend upon the integrity
and efficiency with which such duties are performed, I have
no disposition or desire to shirk or evade any responsibility
in this matter, which properly devolves upon the mayor. It
must be conceded that there is considerable difl'erence of
opinion among good citizens whether the present prohibitory
law is the best and most judicious method of advancing the
cause of temperance, but so long as it remains on the statute
book it is the duty of all officials, sworn to enforce the laws
of the state and city, to cause it to be enforced as faithfully
24 CITY OF CONCORD.
and impartially as all other criminal statutes. Whether public
sentiment is in favor of the enforcement of this law or not, is
of no consequence. Public officials charged with the dut}'
of enforcing laws have nothing to do with the question of
advisability of such laws and have no right even to consider
their own personal opinions on the subject.
If rash expressions, engendered by the excitement of a
strenuous municipal campaign, have led any one to believe
that the advent of this administration is to result in a policy
of non-enforcement or evasive enforcement of the prohibitory
or any other law, the mistake will soon be realized.
It would be idle to expect, however honest and earnest our
efforts may be in dealing with this subject, that we can escape
criticism and even censure. It is a fact generally conceded
bv thoughtful and candid men that the prohibitory law cannot
be as easily enforced as most of the other criminal laws.
Evidence is not as cheerfully furnished, even by good citizens,
in liquor prosecutions as in other criminal cases. It is the
dutv of every citizen to assist in the enforcement of law, and
when he fails to do so it makes- the problem of enforcement
more difficult. It is not my purpose, in alluding to these
difficulties, to unduly magnify tliem, or to seek for excuses
to dodge the responsibility properly devolving upon me
in the enforcement of this law. Whatever other faults may
be laid at my door, I hope the charge of cowardice cannot be
justly made.
No city is entirely free from the evils of intemperance, but
our own city has the proud distinction of being one of the
most quiet and orderly cities in the United States.
So far as lies in my power 1 shall make an honest and
earnest effort for the enforcement of all laws. Whatever the
result may be I shall have no excuses to make or apologies to
offer.
LIQ_UOR AGENCY.
A liquor agency is the necessary adjunct of a prohibitory
law. It is absolutely essential that there should be some place
provided by law where legal sales of alcohol and other intoxi-
mayor's address. 25
eating liquors for medicinal, mechanical, and other proper
uses can be made. To carry out the purposes of such an
institution, it is necessary that the rules provided by law
regulating the conditions under which such sales can be
made, and the persons to whom made, shall be strictly
followed.
To conduct an institution of this kind upon lines similar to
those used where the illegal sale of liquors in the past may
have been carried on, would be an entire perversion of the
purposes for which the agency is established.
The liquor agency should be under constant supervision,
and required to conform to the exact conditions of the h\w.
CITY DEPOSIT.
During the preceding administration a joint resolution was
passed inviting bids from the national banks of the city for use
of the monthh- average balance of the city deposit, and
under this resolution bids were received and the deposit
awarded to one of said banks. It appears from the report
of the city treasurer that the city has received as interest on
said daily balance during the last year the sum of $408.79'
It seems to me that the plan of awarding the city deposit
to the highest bidder is a wise one, and should be adhered to.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion, I ask for your earnest cooperation in an
effort to administer wisely and honestly the affairs which have
been committed to our charge. I recognize fully the fact
that without your assistance and cooperation nothing sub-
stantial can be achieved. I shall endeavor, so far as the
performance of my duties is concerned, to act in entire con-
cert and harmony with you. It will be necessary, as in all
cases, where a number of individuals are engaged in a
common undertaking, to exercise mutual forbearance and self-
control.
26 CITY OF CONCOKD.
It is expected that the heads of departments will cheer-
full\- cooperate to assist us by the skill and efficiency with
which they perform their duties. It is important that they
mana<^e the appropriations set aside for them with great
economy and care.
While it is their duty to properly provide for the reason-
able needs of their respective departments, they will be
entitled to public approval if they are able to save some-
thing from the amount appropriated for their particular
department.
Whatever the future may have in store for us, we mav feel
assured that honesty and integrity of purpose will be
accepted by our fellow citizens as the guiding principles
which should govern our conduct of municipal affairs, and if
we adhere to these principles we shall, at least, have the
approval of our own consciences. If, in addition, we obtain
the approbation of our citizens, we shall accomplish all that
we can reasonablv desire.

DEPARTMENT REPORTS,
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.
Report of commissioner of Highways
To the City Council:
Gentlemen : — In accordance with the ordinance, I here-
with submit the annual report of the work and expenditures
of the highway department for the year of 1901. Alucii
repairing in general, some permanent improvements and the
usual work of the department has made the vear a particu-
larly busy one.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE.
The sum of $iS,6oo was appropriated for general main-
tenance this year, but this amount does not seem sufficient to
meet the numerous expenses which must be taken from the
appropriation. The streets are in bad condition generally
and need a good deal of repaii ing. Beside the trimming of
shade trees, the care of ice and snow and sanding walks
does not keep the roads in repair in any wav, and while the
expense is considerable it does not show after the ice and
snow are gone. Of course the month of December is very
uncertain in regard to expense. This year we had a severe
storm December 3 and 4, which was followed by a thaw,
and the expense of this one storm was $631.13, which shows
that if we have many storms in the year serious inroad is
made on the appropriation for general maintenance.
The shade trees of our city are dying fast and the depart-
ment has been requested to remove a large number of dead
trees the past season. Most of the shade trees need trim-
ming badly and it will require quite a little expense. I think
there should be a separate appropriation for removing and
trimming trees, for the amount expended in that direction
does not show in the street repairs.
92 CITV OF CONCORD.
Most of the liridges in tlie city are in good condition. Two
new ones will have to he hiiilt across the Soucook ri\er, one
on the Sheep Davis road, so called, and the Thompson lower
hridge, which was washed away two years ago and has never
been rebuilt. The town of Pembroke has not been ready to
rebuild, but 1 understand that they will be ready to build
both bridges next season. East Concord bridge has been
replanked and the Sewall's Falls bridge repaired this year.
The Loudon bridge will need painting next summer.
Not many new streets have been granted this year. Stone
street, at the south end, was granted and put into passable
condition, and a small outlay another season will make it a
good street.
A change of grade on Pitman street was granted last year,
but the work was not done imtil this. After the street was
cut down it was found to be unsatisfactory, and a petition to
have the grade reestablished was grantetl. The street is now
in satisfactory condition.
By the new layout of the Concord Street Railway, granted
by the city government, a new track was laid to the Concord
State Fair grounds, which added quite an expense to this
department for putting the street back into good condition.
Should the railroad broad gauge its line next season it will
call for more street repairs. The work of putting in the new
electric railway on Hall street was begun late in the fall and
a large amount of grading done. When the railroad com-
pletes the work in the spring I think the street will be in bet-
ter condition than ever l^efore.
The track of the street railway from West Washington
street to Pine at the west end was moved into the center of
the street, whicii n)ade it grade Centre street. The expense
was $617.29, and we now have a street sixty-tive feet wide,
which is a great improvement.
The highway department has had eight horses at the city
stable, which ha\e for the most part been taken from the
fire department after they were beyond service there. On
coming into office in February I found that two of the horses
were useless, and we killed and buried them. Later on
HIGHWAY DEPAHTMENT. 93
another became useless and that was killed also. Two more
will soon be beyond service, and it will then be necessary to
purchase some new horses for use in the department.
CLEANING STUEETS.
The amount appropriated for cleaning streets was hardly
sufficient this year, and although the changing from one
method to another may have made some ditierence in the
expense I would recommend that the appropriation be
increased. The following ordinance relating to the removal
of garbage was passed in April, 1901 :
NOTICE.
A Resolution Relating to the Removal of Garbage.
Resoh>ed by ilie Board of Mayor and Aldermen :
That for the improvement of the sanitary condition of the city and
for the convenience of the people residing in the central portion
thereof, the Commissioner of Highways is hereby authorized and
instructed to cause the city teams to collect and remove all waste
material and garbage at least once in three weeks, in all seasons of
the year, when practicable, within the following limits : Commencing
at the point where Penacook street intersects with the Boston &
Maine Railroad, thence by said Penacook street to North State street;
thence by North State street to intersection of North State street and
Rumford street ; southerly through Rumford street to Beacon street ;
westerly through Beacon street to White street ; southerly through
White street to Washington street ; westerly through Washington
street to Centre street, to Park Ridge, Park Ridge to Giles ; south-
erly through Giles to Warren : westerly through Warren to intersec-
tion ot Warren and Pleasant ; thence easterly through Pleasant street
to South Spring street ; thence southerly by South Spring street and
Avon street to South street ; thence southerly by South street to
Pillsbury street ; thence easterly by said Pillsbury street and the line
of said street extended to the Boston & Maine Railroad ; thence
northerly by the Boston & Maine Railroad to the point begun at,
including all streets that are within the territory herein bounded.
All such work shall be done in accordance with such rules and reg-
ulations as the Superintendent of Streets shall prescribe.
94 CITV OF OONCOKL).
We began the work by starting one garbage team at each
of the two extreme limits, both teams working towards the
center of the city each day excepting Wednesdays, when
botli collect in the central portion, and going over the district
once in tw'o weeks. The ordinance requires collection only
once in three weeks, but the department finds it can cover
the territory in two, and if residents would please be careful
not to put the garbage out oftener than once in two weeks it
would assist the department greatly. Of course the amount
to be collected varies considerably each time, so that often
we are not able to reach each street on exactly the same day
of the week, but the time will vary but a little. The whole
system of collecting garbage has been re-arranged, and in
another season the department hopes to give better service.
CATCH BASINS.
An appropriation of $[,500 this year for catch basins was
sufficient. The usual amount of repairing has been done,
new basins built, and all thoroughly cleaned.
SIDEWALKS AND CROSSINGS.
Considerable repairing of concrete walks has been done
the past year, and all new concrete walks granted by the city
government have been laid excepting the one at the Dewey
school, and the petition of G. H. Rolfe, which was granted
too late to be constructed this season. In Penacook, a walk
1,800 feet in length was constructed on Merrimack street. It
makes a fine walk from the railroad station to the village,
and is a great improvement over the gravel walk, which was
in very bad condition in wet weather.
PERMANETsT WORK.
The amount appropriated for permanent improvements
was $10,000. The demand for general repairs was such
that it was found necessary to keep back a portion of this
amount for use under general maintenance in case of severe
storms, and therefore we were not able to do as much in the
line of permanent work.
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT. 95
A petition for macadain on Warren street was presented to
the city government and granted. About two thirds of a
mile, twenty-four-foot roadway was built from Spring street
to Fruit at an expense of $3,839.32, and we now have a good
macadam road from Spring street to the ''Monument."
This road is used a great deal for pleasure riding especially,
and it should be extended from the "Monument" to St,
Paul's School.
Another piece of macadam, twenty-four-foot roadv^'ay 773
feet in length, was put in on South State street from West to
Main at an expense of $1,186.59. This class of macadam,
such as Warren and South State street, can be built for about
$7,000 a mile.
The macadam on the Penacook road which was put in live
years ago has stood the wear well, and nothing has been
expended for repairs. On account of the large amount of
travel over tliis road, I think it would be well to extend this
both toward West Concord and Penacook from the piece
now in.
North Main street from Centre to Pitman has been in such
bad condition for several years that the city government voted
to concrete that portion west of the street railway track.
The expense was $1,836.36, and we now have a very good
street there.
Qiiite a little grading has been done on North State street
with stone chips from the stone sheds. This makes a very
good road for the money expended, especially where there is
considerable heavv teaming.
The stationary crusher on Rumford street, which has been
in use some twenty years, is in bad condition, and a new
engine ought to be purchased before another season. The
inspector's report of the condition of the boiler was unsatis-
factory. He reports that it cannot be run with a pressure
over sixty pounds, and we find that is not sufficient to run
the plant. The matter of purchasing a new en'gine was con-
sidered by the committee on roads and bridges, and they
thought it advisable to purchase, but the season's work was
96 CITY OF CONCORD.
SO nearly done that the subject was given up. Qiiite a little
will have to be expended in repairing both crushers and the
steam roller next year.
SPRINKLING.
The street sprinkling precinct was extended the past sea-
son and two sprinklers added. There is still a call to have
the precinct enlarged another season, which if done will
require more sprinklers. The department now has thirteen
sprinklers, which have all been repaired and painted, and are
now ready for use.
IN GENERAL.
Early in the year the city purchased a lot for the highway
department which is proving a good investment, for the city
needed the gravel and a place to dump ashes. It seems to
me that it is an advantage for the city to purchase a gravel
bank rather than to buy by the load.
The call for macadam roads is increasing each year, and it
seems it would be wise for the city to hold a portion of their
quarries at West Concord, for there will be need of this class
of material in a few years, as the present supply for macadam
will soon be exhausted.
The city government voted to send the commissioner of
highwavs to the annual meeting of the American Society of
Municipal Improvements held at Niagara Falls the first week
in October. It was a very interesting meeting, and the sub-
ject of good road building was quite freely discussed. The
speakers taking the more active part in the discussion were
from cities where good road building is clone on an extensive
scale and large amounts expended in their construction ; but
many useful ideas were advanced which would be a benefit
to cities of our size.
I would call the attention of the city government to the
dangerous condition of the roofs of the Baptist church on
State street, the Warren-street side of the Baker Memorial,
corner State and Warren, and the Spring-street side of the
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT. 97
brick tenement house, corner Spring and School. The accii-
muhition of snow slides off these roofs during thaws, and
there have been several narrow escapes from serious injury.
The owners of these pieces of property should be requested
to do something for the protection of the public.
In closing, I would express my appreciation of the interest
taken in this department by the mayor and the members of
the city council, and the courtesy extended to it by all depart-
ments of the city.
Respectfully submitted,
ALFRED CLARK,
Commissioner of Highzvays.

REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER.
Office OF the City Engineer,
Concord, N. H., December 31, 1901.
To the City Cotiiicil :
In accordance with the ordinance creating this department,
the ninth annual report is herewith submitted for your con-
sideration, together with a statement of the amounts expended
on sewer construction and i"epairs.
The accommodations in the office for the safe storage of
plans, note books and records, are entirely inadequate, and it
is ricspectfully suggested that a large vault be provided in the
new city building for this purpose. Plans and records
increase from year to year, and will probably continue to
increase more rapidly as the city increases in population.
The work of this department has materially increased since
its organization, but we have been able to carry it on with a
small force.
Work on the general survey of the city has been carried on
as in the past, that is, when v\'e could spare the time for it
from work under way. We have now completed the held
work to the Loudon line on the Loudon road, with the
exception of the Soucook river from Richardson's mill to the
Davis bridge; also the territory lying between the Loudon
road and tlie Mountain road, north of East Concord village
and east of the Merrimack river above Sewall's Falls road.
CITY ENGINEER. 135
SEWERS.
Comparatively little work has been done in the city pre-
cinct, the Penacook precinct and the West Concord precinct.
In the East Concord precinct nothing has been done, either
in the line of extensions or repairs.
The question of enlarging some of the sewers in the city
precinct must receive your attention at some time in the near
future. Heavy showers have flooded many premises, and in
some localities ordinary rains have overloaded the sewers.
No extraordinary repairs have been made upon the sewer
system. The principal changes have been made on account
of the Street Railway locations granted in Clinton street and
in Hall street, but the greater portion of said changes have
been borne by the Street Railway.
A pipe should be laid on the westerly side of North State
street from Calvary cemetery to the brook, crossing North
State street near the main entrance to Blossom Hill cemetery,
to provide an outlet for the surface water coming from the
cemeteries and adjacent property. This would avoid ovei'-
loading the sewer in the easterly side of the street. It woidd
be much cheaper than conveying the water to the Merrimack
river, for that woidd necessitate the relaying of the entire line
in North State street from Penacook street to Calvary ceme-
tery. When the upper end of this line was laid it was
assumed that the surface water would be carried, as it had been
in years past, into the brook above mentioned. The sewer as
constructed will carry the flow of surface water on the east-
erly side of the street, but it is not large enough — and was not
intended — to drain the cemeteries and contiguous land on the
westerl}- side of the street.
A relief sewer has been built the past season from a point
in North Main street just north of the junction of North Main
and Warren streets sewers, into Depot street. This should
relieve the Main street sewer of a portion of its overload in
time of showers and avoid the flooding of basements north
of this point.
136 CITY OF CONCORD.
There has been added the past season one new sewer pre-
cinct, known as the St. Paul's School Sewerage precinct.
The system in process of construction in this precinct is
what is known as the "• separate system," and provides for
the removal of house sewage only. No street or surface
drainage can be connected with this system. The surface
water can be easily disposed of in the natural channels with-
out material damage to landowners.
The work is done under contract, and not until after the
contract was let and operations commenced was there any
objection raised to this system, or, at least, nothing was said
to this department. A system to provide for all sewage and
surface drainage could have been easil}' designed at the start,
but the cost would have been materially increased and the
burden of the taxpayers, in this precinct, would have been
much heavier. The entire work should be completed early
next season.
NEAV STREETS.
One new street has been laid out ; four streets have been
extended ; one street relaid, and two streets have been
extended upon the condition that the landowners grade
them, and put them in shape acceptable to the commissioner
of highways.
In the opinion of your engineer, it would be to the mutual
advantage of the city and owners of land to have all new
divisions of land plotted upon the city plans, and have pro-
posed streets plotted with some regard to grades and inter-
sections with existing streets.
The employees of this department, the past season, have
been: Frank W. Brown, principal assistant; P. M. Corry,
transitman ; Edwanl J. Murphy, Harry C. Hill and C.
Walker Brown, rodmen, who have rendered valuable assist-
ance in their respective positions.

REPORT OF BOARD OF EXAMINERS OF
PLUMBERS.
To the City Council:
The second annual report of the board of examiners, cover-
ing its action for the year 1901, is herewith submitted for
your examination and considei-ation.
The board for the first three months of the year consisted
of D. E. Sullivan, M. D., chairman; W. B. Howe, clerk,
and Patrick A. Clitibrd.
On March 29, the new board organized as follows:
Timothy Kenna, chairman; VV. B. Howe, clerk; Russell
Wilkins, M. D.
Under the city ordinance Dr. Wilkins became a member
of this board as chairman of the board of health, and Mr.
Kenna, a journeyman plumber, an appointment by the
mayor, for the term of one year.
The board have held twelve regular and ten special meet-
ings during the year. Seven men have successfully passed
the examination and been granted licenses as journeymen
plumbers ; two have passed and been granted licenses as
master plumbers, and two have failed to pass as journeymen.
Your examiners would renew their recommendation of one
year ago and respectfully request that a room be fitted up in
the city building where the practical work can be done; the
city engineer's office has not the necessary accommodations
for this work, and it interferes with the work of that depart-
ment.
The total receipts of the board are $31.50, which amount
has been deposited with the city treasurer and his receipts
for the same are in the hands of the clerk of the board.
There has been expended for supplies used in examinations
$18.24.

I will renew 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.
The police signal service has proved to be very useful and
satisfactory. The number of duty calls that have been rung in
by police officers during the past year is 35,473, besides a large
number of emergency calls.
On account of the increased business at the south end there
is a demand for an additional night officer, only one night
officer being on duty south of Pleasant street at the present
time. There is also a demand for an officer at the west end
and at Fosterville, and I would most respectfully recommend
that provision be made for the appointment of these additional
police officers.
In submitting my report, I desire to express my gratitude
to the board of police commissioners, His Honor Mayor
Harry G. vSargent, and the city council, for their considerate
treatment of this department. Thanks are due Edmund S.
Cook', city solicitor, for valuable assistance rendered. To all
who have contributed to our success we extend our thanks.
To the members of the force ni}' grateful acknowledgment
andthanks are tendered for their efficiency and promptness in
the discharge of their duties.
RespectfuUv submitted,
G. SCOTT LOCKE,

Clerk of Police Court.
REPORT OF CITY SOLICITOR.
To the City Council :
I respectfully submit the following report for the year 1901 :
At the beginning of the year I90i,at which time I was
elected city solicitor, there were pending against the city of
Concord the following suits: Edward E. Hodgman v. Con-
cord ; Bertha E. Braley v. Concord ; Mary J, Gay, William
H. Gay, and Walter Gay v. Concord; Mary A. Bullock v.
Concord ; Lavina Arlin v. Concord ; Concord Street Railway
V. Concord; Elvira B. Lane z^. Concord, and Augustus B.
Hall V. Concord.
During the year the suits in tavor of Edward E. Hodg-
man, Bertha E. Braley, and Mary J. Gay et als. have been
settled on my recommendation; the city paying a small sum
as damages in each case.
The suit of Mary J. Gay ct als. was entered at the Octo-
ber term, 1S93, of the supreme court. It appears from the
reports of your former solicitor, Mr. Sargent, that the plain-
tiffs in this case took no steps for a number of years to bring
it to a settlement. During the years 1S99 ^"^ 1900 nothing
could be done in this case, as Mr. Martin, counsel for the
plaintiffs, was mayor of the city. The damage claimed in
this suit was on account of laying out and building the exten-
sion of Glen street over land belonging to the plaintiffs. The
city was clearly liable, the only question to determine being
the extent of the damage. The amount of the damage was
finally settled upon as $361.12, and this amount was paid in
full settlement of the case including all costs.
The suit of Edward E. Hodgman was entered at the Octo-
ber term of the supreme court in 1S95. The damage claimed
in this suit was on account of a change in the grade of North
156 CITY OF CONCORD.
State street which resulted in throwing surface water onto
the hind of the phiiiitift', undermining the foundations of his
buiUHngs. The amount of damages churned was $150.00.
At the time this suit was brought the pLaintifi' was not the
owner of the damaged premises, although he owned them at
the time of the damage. Mr. vSargent, the former solicitor,
raised the question of law that on these facts the plaintiti'
could not maintain his suit. This question was decided
adversely to the city by the supreme court. This decision of
the supreme court rendered the city liable to the plaintiff' for
the actual damage sustained by him. This suit would
undoubtedly have been settled by the former solicitor only for
the fact that Mr. Martin, counsel for the plaintiti', was elected
mayor, and nothing could properly be done with reference to
this matter during his term of office. This suit was settled
by the payment of $100.00 as damages.
The suit of Bertha E. Braley was brought in October,
1S97, and was for the recovery of damages on account of the
laying out of Jackson street over land belonging to the plain-
tirt". The plaintirt'in this case took no steps to press it to a
settlement prior to this year. At the April, 1901, term of
the supreme court, the plaintiff being dead, an administrator
appeared in court to prosecute this suit. He was very
anxious to get a settlement of this case in order to be able to
settle the estate of the plaintiff'. The city was clearly liable,
and on my recommendation paid $150.00 in full settlement
of this suit including all costs.
The suit of Elvira B. Lane referred to in the last report of
your former solicitor as being before the law term, at the time
of making his report, was decided in favor of the city at the
March term, 1901. At the April term of the supreme court
judgment was entered for the city of Concord for costs. This
judgment has been collected by me and paid over to the city
treasurer.
The cases of Mary A. Bullock and Lavina Arlin and the
Concord Street Railway are still unsettled.
POLICE DEPARTMENT. 157
The suits of Mary A. Bullock and Lavina Arlin are for
damages for land taken in widening and straightening North
State street. These cases will either be settled before the
next term of court, or tried and disposed of at that time.
The case of Augustus B. Hall is for personal injuries
received by the plaintiff^ while driving on Pleasant street,
which the city was engaged in repairing. The amount
claimed is $5,000.00. The plaintiff claims that the city was
guilty of negligence in the managemenc of its road-roller,
thereby frightening his horses, causing them to run away and
resulting in the injuries complained of. This case came up
for trial at the April term, 1901, of the superior court. I
took the position that, even if the facts claimed by the plain-
tifl'were true, the city was not liable as a matter of law. The
plaintiff was non-suited on this ground. He took exceptions
and the case was transfeiTed to the supreme court. The case
was argued before the supreme court at the December term,
1901, by counsel for the plaintitf'and by the solicitor for the
city. The solicitor has also filed two briefs in this case. If
the decision of the supreme court sustains the ruling of the
judge in the court below, judgment will be entered for the
citv. If the supreme court decides that the non-suit was
improperly granted, the case will go back to the superior
court for a trial on its merits.
During the year two suits have been brought against the
city. One by W. H. Perry claiming $2,000 damage on
account of surface water being thrown onto his land and
undermining the foundations of his buildings by reason of
the construction of roads in the northern part of Blossom
Hill cemetery. On mv recommendation this suit was settled
for $200 in full for all damages.and costs. The actual damage
to the property was greatly in excess of this amount and I
think this settlement was very favorable to the city. The
other suit was brought by Joseph Stickne\^ for an abatement
of taxes. His claim is that his property is valued for the pur-
pose of taxation largelv in excess of any other property in the
158 CITY OF CONCORD.
city. Some depositions have been taken by the plaintiff in
this action, and it will probably come up for trial at the April
term, 1903, of the superior court.
During the year a large number of criminal complaints
and warrants have been made in this office, and the solicitor
has tried many criminal cases for the police department
before the police court.
The solicitor has given advice and assistance to the various
departments of the city government and to committees and
members of the city council.
Respectfully submitted,
EDMUND S. COOK,
City Solicito?'.

SANITARY DEPARTMENT.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
To his Honor the Mayor and City Council:
In presenting the annual report of the Health Department,
the board wishes to record the faithful work done by Mr.
Palmer, our efficient sanitary officer.
During the year the personnel of the board has been some-
what changed, as Dr. Clark's term expired in April, and he
declined a re-election ; Mr. Berry was elected to till the va-
cancy. Shortly afterward Dr. D. E. Sullivan resigned and Dr.
L. A. Sanders was selected to fill the unexpired term. The
board organized with Dr. Wilkins as president and Mr.
Berry as secretary.
During the year there has been very little sickness from con-
tagious diseases, as will be seen by reference to the detailed re-
port of the sanitary officer. The total number of cases of diph-
theria (65) seems large, but the general mildness of the cases can
best be realized when we note that there were only four deaths
from this cause. Undoubtedly the very mildness of these
cases served to spread the disease.
The state Laboratory of Hygiene which has been opened
since our last report has been of great value to the city, and
promises to be of even more value in the future. Principally
for the accommodation of the legal profession Dr. Watson has
made arrangements to keep the laboratory open to receive cul-
tures as late as nine o'clock in the evening. So far as we
160 CITY OF CONCORD.
know no otlier laboratoi-}- does this, and often in case of diph-
theria it means a saving of tvventv-four hours, when time is
of inestimable value.
The boanl has thought it wise to lay in a small stock of
antitoxine to be used upon patients who are too poor to pur-
chase it, and would otherwise be deprived of its use. We
consider this a legitimate expense for the protection of the
public health. Application for antitoxine should be made
through the sanitary officer.
Several complaints have been made to the board regarding
the outlets of the West Concord sewer which empty near the
old kit factory. This sewer shoukl either be continued to the
river as originally intended, or some other means found for
disposing of the sewage. We also recommend that a sewer
be laid in Penacook street from Bradley west for a distance
sufficient to care for all the houses on that street.
INSPECTION OF MILK.
Agreeably to the recommendation made in the last report
of this board, the city has adopted the law governing the sale
and inspection of milk, skimmed milk and cream. This law
was adopted October 8, 1901.
As with all new laws, it has taken some little time to com-
plete arrangements for its perfect operation.
There have been issued up to January i, 1903, 155 licenses.
These were granted for a nine months' term, no license being
issued for a shorter term than three months.
As the law has been in operation now over three months,
and has been thoroughly discussed, there is no reasonable excuse
for non-compliance with the law ; and any person found sell-
ing without a license will be given a chance to test the law in
its various phases.
There have been 54 inspections made. Of the above num-
ber nine samples were rejected as not being good average
samples of the milk in question. The 45 samples gave the
following: result :
SAXITAKY DEPARTMENT. 161
Out of 45 samples, 43 for cream tested standard or better.
Out of 45 samples, 33 for total solids tested standard or better.
Out of 45 samples, four for solids exclusive of fat tested
standard or better.
As will be seen, only a few were up to the standard on
solids exclusive of fat, while quite a number were below on
total solids.
In order to determine what the true standard of a man's
herd might be, the board has offered to make tests of milk
that any dealer might bring in, providing it was done in a
systematic and conscientious manner. In this way, we have
no doubt shown to many the true value of each cow, and
given them an opportunity to improve their heid with a view
to getting better milk. The board felt that by this co-opera-
tion the standard could be brought up quicker and with bet-
ter feeling for all concerned.
The inspection has been confined mostly to determining
the percentage of fat, the total solids and the solids exclusive
of fat. A few tests have been made for antiseptics, but with
negative results. Some cream has been examined ; no pre-
servatives have been found, and the cream was of good gen-
eral quality, but occasionally showed careless handling.
A volume could be written on the handling of milk. We
find that careless handling leads to the use of antiseptics, be-
cause milk that has been stored in unclean cans, exposed to
the air, will not keep for any length of time, and other means
have to be resorted to in order to market the milk.
That antiseptics have been used by the milk trade of Con-
cord there is no doubt, though we believe there are none be-
ing used to-day. To feel that a food product so universally
used as milk, should be embalmed with a chemical or chem-
icals, which should only be used by the chemist and under-
taker, cannot fail to impress even the most thoughtless and
ignorant ; and they should pause before making unjust criti-
cisms on the importance of the law.
Milk is one of the most important food products that come
under public inspection. It is the chief diet of invalids and
11
162 CITY OF CONCOKD.
infants, while those in health are dependent on it to a greater
or less extent.
It must be borne in mind that milk furnishes the best of soil
for certain kinds of bacteria, and that tliese bacteria increase
verv rapidly under the influence of heat and exposure to the
air. Milk then, as generally taken care of, should be deliv-
ered to the consumer as soon as possible after being taken
from the cow. Cleanliness should be observed in every de-
tail, from the milking and the washing of the cans to the icing
after proper cooling of the milk.
While the time has been short to expect great results from
the present law, we feel sure that it has had a good moral
influence. It takes time to arrange methods and to deter-
mine facts.
A systematic course will be followed in determining the
most common oftences, and it is the intention of the board
that such oflences shall receive their just punishment.
We are indebted to a number of milk dealers for their co-
operation and support of the law, and we here extend our
thanks to them in behalf of good government and citizenship.
SMALL-POX.
On Thursday, September 26, 1901, the board was notified
that a case of small-pox existed in the city. Though this
came somewhat as a surprise, as these cases must, still it did
not find us totally unprepared, as we had been anticipating
such an occurrence since the Manchester epidemic in 1900.
The detention hospital had been opened up and thoroughly
dried and aired a few days previously, so that it was in con-
dition for immediate use and the patient was at once moved
there. As soon as the state board was notified, they turned
the entire control of the situation over to the local board. All
exposed persons, so far as known, w^ere immediately vacci-
nated and kept under observation ; rooms and clothing that
might be a source of further contagion were thoroughly fumi-
gated. The patient was found to be very sick with confluent
small-pox, said by competent authority to have been the first
SANITARY DEPARTMENT. 163
case of this severe variety since the Claremont epidemic of
six years ago. This patient died ten days after being removed
to the detention hospital.
The question is not infrequently asked whether small-pox
is really such a terrible disease or not, and whether the pic-
ture is not often overdrawn? To any such it is sufficient to
say that if they had ever seen a case of true variola unmodified
by vaccination and witnessed the sufterings of the patient,
they never would have asked that question. It is one of the
most repulsive and loathsome diseases which human tiesh is
heir to, and the horrors of it can neither be imagined nor
described; one must be brought face to face with the condi-
tions to fully realize what it means.
Another frequent source of inquiry is whether vaccination
really has much influence in modifying the disease. It is at
present the only known means of preventing or modifying
small-pox. That it does this is evidenced bv the piesent low
mortality from a disease formerly so fatal.
Fortunately recent fearful epidemics are rare, and the few
(7) deaths within our own state from upwards of four hun-
dred cases which have occurred since the first outbreak in
May, 1900, bears striking evidence to the efficiency of vacci-
nation, and especially is this true when we consider that so
far as it has been possible to ascertain the facts in regard to
the fatal cases all have been among those not protected by
vaccination. It may be interesting to quote one or two illus-
trations, showing the efficiency of thorough vaccination in
eradicating the disease. A recent report in hygiene shows
that in Russia the average nimiber of deaths due to small-pox
from 1846 to 1874 was 24.45 per 100,000 population, and
one year the rate reached 263.4 P^' 100,000 population. In
1874 compulsory vaccination laws were passed and the death-
rate from this disease at once dropped wonderfully as shown
in the next ten years, which gave a mortality of only 1.51 per
100,000 population, and in iSS6itwas only 0.49 per 100,000.
Many similar cases could be cited, as, for instance, the recent
report of the superior board of health of Porto Rico, in
164 CITY OF CONCORD.
which the following statement is made : " The average annual
number of deaths from small-pox for the past ten years was
621, the greatest number, 2,362, occurring in 1890, and the
least, II, in 1893 ; in 1899 there were about 50 per cent, less
deaths than in any of the three years preceding. This
decrease was due to the general vaccination of the island,
which was concluded June 30 of that year; 860,000 vaccina-
tions were performed under the directions of the chief sur-
geon of the department during the four months preceding this
date. All the deaths reported in 1899 ^^'om small-pox, except
one, occurred prior to the day on which the work was con-
cluded. At the rate of 242 for the first six months the annual
deaths would have been practically the same as in the pre-
ceding three years. During the seven months covered by
these statistics but one death has occurred from this cause.
" Since the completion of the general vaccination of the
island, June 30, 1899, there have occurred down to the pres-
ent time, November 23, 1901, but three deaths from small-
pox in Porto Rico, the average annual death-rate has been
reduced from 621 to less than 1.5."
To decry a prophylactic measure which has been proved
so productive of good results, not onl}^ to the individual but
to the community at large, would seem absurd.
It was generally supposed that the pupils of our public
schools were well protected by vaccination, but a careful
investigation revealed the fact that many had never been vac-
cinated at all, while others had a physician's certificate that
they had complied with the law, themselves admitting that
" it didn't take." All such were requested to get vaccinated
at once. Altogether, upwards of eight hundred pupils were
ordered to be vaccinated, this besides those attending private
and parochial schools, of whom the same requirements were
made. Certificates have been issued to all those presenting
satisfiictory evidence of having been successfully vaccinated.
Such evidence may be either a satisfactory scar or a certifi-
cate properly endorsed by a licensed physician. A duplicate
of the same is kept on file and all pupils are required to
SANITARY DEPARTMENT. 165
present to the teacher before enroUment such certificate, which
bears the seal of the health department. This uniformity in
certificates will be of great assistance to teachers, besides
relieving them of the responsibility of deciding whether cer-
tain certificates are valid or not. All this has necessitated
considerable expenditure of time and money at the outset,
but we believe it will prove to be a wise investment.
This board would earnestly recommend that the board of
education require of our teachers what the law requires of
our pupils.
In conclusion, we desire to express to the mavor, members
of the city government, and to the sanitary officer our
appreciation of their courtesy and support during the past
year.

REPORT OF THE SANITARY OFFICER.
To the Board of Health :
Gentlemen, — I have the honor to submit the following
report relative to the operations of this branch of the depart-
ment, and the condition of the public health during the year
ending December 31, 1901.
MORTALITY.
The total number of deaths reported during the year was
353, a decrease of 41 in the number as compared with last
year, representing an annual death-rate of 13. n per thousand
population, this does not include the non-resident mortality
in the hospitals and public institutions of the city ; full infor-
mation as to the number of deaths which occurred each
month with reference to sex, disease, and age appears in the
appendix.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
Happily the city has escaped all forms of epidemic during
the year, the diseases that are more or less contagious having
been broadly scattered and mild in character. Every possi-
ble effort has been make to carry out the quarantine rules
and regulations, and in no instance have I known of the

Disinfection.
Formaldehyde lias been generally accepted as the most
potent of disinfecting agents, and is used almost exclusively
for this purpose by the department.
An increased demand has been made upon the department
for fumigation of houses in which cases of infectious diseases
have existed.
Other methods of disinfection are faulty, but our experi-
ence with formaldehyde shows it to be a most effective agent,
in that no case of infectious disease has followed where thor-
ough fumisration with this gas has been instituted.
Nuisances, Complaints, and Inspections.
A statement of the number and character of the nuisances
which have been abated by this department during the year

SEWER INSPECTION.
In compliance with the city ordinance I have endeavored
to perform my duty in regard to the enforcement of the rules
and regulations relative to sewers and drains. In all cases,
so far as known, I have personally inspected the connections
made and work completed.
A complete record has been made and filed of the fifty-one
sewers, giving location of inlet, size and kind of pipe used,
rate of fall per foot, total length, and name of drain-layer
doing: the work.
INSPECTION OF PLUMBING.
The number of inspections made during the year will be
found in the table below, and it gives me pleasure to state
that with few exceptions, harmony exists all along the line.
The plumbers, like all other craftsmen, come across condi-
tions in their profession which no law seems to properly
•cover, and often the plumber and myself have to reasonably
agree how the work can best be done to keep the spirit of the
the citv ordinance. I find the plumbers willing to assist in
maintaining law, only once have I been called upon to
prosecute a case.
Plumbing permits granted
Water closets put in
Bath tubs put in .
Urinals put in
Wash trays put in
Sinks put in
Shower baths
Wash-bowls put in
Number sewers .

184 CITV OF CONCORD.
Although the number of alarms exceeded all previous rec-
ords, in but one instance did the fire assume threatening pro-
portions.
In view of the immense amount of propert}- destroved
throughout the countiT during the year, the citv can be
regarded in no other light than extremely fortunate at being
called upon to contribute so little to the national ash heap.
The apparatus is in good condition. Except in the case of
" Kearsarge " steamer, which was provided with a set of new
flues, repairs have been of a minor nature.
The heating apparatus at the Old Fort station was removed
during the year to the Good Will station, and new heating
apparatus was installed at the former.
This change yielded all the results sought for, and settled
the heating problem as far as these two buildings are con-
cerned for some time to conie.
The heating apparatus at the Central fire station has been
in use for a quarter of a century.
Some of the boiler sheets are in an unsatisfactory condition,
and I respectfully recommend that new heating apparatus be
provided during the coming year for this building. Two
thousand feet of hose were relined during the year. The
abnormal advance in the price of grain and the excessive fall
of snow during December, with the attendant expenditures
for extra horses and breaking out hydrants, prevented the pur-
chase of hose recommended in the last report.
I would, therefore, respectfully renew the recommendation
that five hundred feet of fire hose be purchased. No horses
were purchased during the year.
The}' are at present in good condition, but as two of them
have grown old in the service, it would, in niy opinion, be
wise to provide for the purchase of one pair.
Nothing has occurredduring the year to weaken my belief,
as expressed in former reports, that the horses should be
behind the apparatus. On the contrary, horses have fallen
in taking their placets, and every occurrence of that nature
FIRE DEPARTMENT. 185
tends to strengthen the belief that the hazard run is out of
comparison with the amount involved in the remedy.
A glance in that direction will show that the south end of
the city is rapidly growing away from the extreme southerly
fire station. Undoubtedly at no distant day the problem of
better fire protection for that locality will have to be solved.
The department is in need of from four to five dozen canvas
service coats, and I respectfully recommend the purchase of
the same.
I would also respectfully recommend the purchase of at
least four Eastman perfection holders.
The fire alarm telegraph system is in good condition.
Twenty-one new movements of the latest and most
improved pattern were placed in old boxes, and one new box
was purchased during the year. New wire has replaced
old wherever found necessary.
The storage battery system was installed in December,
1S96, and it was thought at that time that the life of the ele-
ments would extend for two years.
They have been in use for more than five years, and
although they appear to be in good condition at -present, the
time cannot be far distant when they will have to give way to
new. It would be wise, therefore, in my opinion, to provide
for the purchase of a new set.
The change from the gravity to the storage battery system
has resulted not only in obtaining better service than it is pos-
sible to exact from the old S3'stem but in saving to the city
double the cost of the change.
A few sections of the city still exist which could be better
protected by the installation of signal boxes, and I respect-
fully recommend the purchase of two such boxes during the
coming year.
During the month of August I had the honor to attend as
a delegate the convention of the International Association of
Fire Engineers held at Indianapolis, Ind. It was a largely
attended and instructive convention, a report of which was
rendered at that time.
186 CITY OF CONCORD.
In conclusion, I wish to assure your honorable body that it
has been the aim of the committee and the undersigned to
confine the expenditures within the bounds of the appropria-
tion.
That success crowned the effort by a very narrow margin
is made apparent by the table of disbursements appearing
with other data in this report.
Respectfully submitted,
W. C. GREEN,
Chief Engineer.

Directions for Giving an Alarm.
Above all things, keep cool.
In each box there is a small bell called a "tell-tale,"
designed expi-essly for the purpose of informing you whether
an alarm is being transmitted, the instant you open the door.
Open the box, and, if this bell is not heard, pull down the
hook once only and let go.
But if this bell should be heard it would indicate that
another box had been pulled and it would be useless to
attempt to pull another until the one already pulled had per-
formed its mission.
Wait until twenty seconds have elapsed after the "tell-tale"
has stopped ringing, close the door, which will restore the
armature to the position it left when the door was opened.
Open the door, pull down the hook once only and let go.
Should there be no response, pull it again.
Then, should there be no response, go to the next box.
FIRE DEPARTMENT. 219
Unless your presence is most urgently required at the scene
of the tire, remain at the box to direct the department.
Never open the box or touch anything pertaining to it
except in case of fire.
Never give an alarm for a fire seen at a distance.
Be reasonably sure that there is a fire before giving an
alarm .
Never give an alarm for a chimney fire unless there is
imminent danger of the building catching.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
To the City Council :
The Board of Water Commissioners submit herewith their
report for the year 1901. The report of the superintendent,
which is a part of this report, exhibits in detail the work of the
department.
Mr. Frank D. Abbot, who was elected a commissioner in
1893, and who occupied the office of secretary of the board,
resigned, and Mr. Obadiah Morrill was chosen to fill the vacancy ;
and Mr. Timothy P. Sullivan, who was elected in 1899, also
resigned, and Mr. Geo. D. B. Prescott was elected to fill the
vacancy. These gentlemen have served faithfully and ably, and
it is a regret that their business relations have called them from
the city.
The year has marked the completion of the 20-inch main to
Penacook lake to take the place of the cement-lined main laid at
the beginning of the works ; thus a serious menace has been
overcome.
More pipe has been relayed than in many previous years, so
that if in the coming five years we can continue this important
work, the city will practically be relaid with cast-iron pipe, and
in a way that shall not call for a large expenditure in any one
year. The weakness of the old pipe is evident by the frequent
leaks, but each year makes it easier to control them. A feature
of the relaying with new pipe is the necessity of much expense in
changing over the service-pipe and setting of gates, also, con-
necting with the hydrants.
The payment of the hydrant rental by the city has enabled the
board to push the work, and the expectation is that the plans sug-
gested by the superintendent in his report will be carried out.
24fi CITY OF CONCORD.
The good results of the pumping station have been maintained
during the year ; the pump having been in commission constantly
for ten years shows the careful management of the engineer.
It may be wise, to guard against any mishap in the future, to
look at the matter of an auxiliary pump.
The continued use of meters, while it will have the effect of
lessening the income, prevents a waste of water. The number
now in use is 1,142.
The building of cottages on the eastern shoi'es of Lake Pena-
cook has been prosecuted to an alarming extent, so that the
Board have made purchases of the shores now unoccupied, to
prevent encroachment. The purity of our drinking water is vital,
and the Board will endeavor to nse such methods as seem to
them to best reach that end.
The height of the water is gratifying, but on account of it
some needed repairs have not been made on the face of the dam.
The Board desire to express their appreciation of the satisfac-
tory manner in which the superintendent and his assistants have
carried on their individual work during the past year.

256 CITY OF CONCOKD.
The work of rcluyinsr the original 14-incii ceinent-liued miiiii
was completed, and tliere is now a continuous line of 20-inch
cast-iron pipe from Penacook lake to tlie piimping-station. Good
progress was made toward relaying the cement-lined pipe in the
city, and I would recommend that the following streets be relaid
the coming season : South Main street from Freight to Thorn-
dike ; South State and South streets from Thompson to Thorn-
dike ; South Spring from Pleasant to Concord; Fayette and
Thompson from South Main to South State ; Thompson from
South to South Spring; and Concord, Monroe and Thorndike
streets, thus making the entire area between Pleasant and Thorn-
dike and South Main and South Spring streets supplied by cast-
iron distribution pipe.
In conclusion, I desire to thank all the members of the board
for their hearty support and many courtesies extended through
the year, and also wish to express my appreciation of the faithful
service of the employees of the department.
Respectfully submitted,
V. C. HASTINGS,
Stiperintendent.

PUBLIC LIBRARY.
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES.
To the City Council :
The accompanying report of the librarian presents at
length the methods of library management during the past
year, their development, and the condition and prospects of
the institution, and it is respectfully commended to \our
thoughtful consideration. We will add a few words only
with reference to the expense of maintenance and a recommen-
dation as to the appropriation.
Last year, in view of the accumulated interest on the Seth
K. Jones fund, $875-431 then first available, the appropriation
to the library was reduced from $5,000 to $4,500. Of the
interest on the Jones fund there has been expended $646.36;
interest on other funds and on Jones fund for current year,
$169.21. The total expenditure, $5,315.47, has been used
for the following purposes: purchase of books, $1,174.62;
subscription to newspapers, $45.95; to periodicals, $181.85 ;
and the remainder, $3,913.05, has been required for expenses
of administration, supplies, etc. A detailed statement of
these disbursements is included in the report of the city
auditor. There have been received from fines $194.75 and
from the sale of catalogues $11.00, which amounts have been
paid to the city treasurer.
As only $229.17 of the interest on the Jones fund remains
unexpended, the trustees respectfully recommend an appro-
priation of $5,000 additional for the support of the library
during the coming year.
PUBLIC LIBKARY. 271
We take this occasion to express our appreciation of tiie
faithful services of the librarian and the assistants and of the
unvarying courtesy and assiduity with v^diich the patrons of
the library have been served.

Concord, February i, 1902.
REPORT OF THE CITY LIBRARIAN FOR
1901.
To the Board of Trustees of the Concord Public Library :
Gentlemen, — During 1901 our library has quietly con-
tinued its work of dispensing pleasure with one hand and
instruction with the other. More than the usual number of
books have been bought, a liberal supply of the most recent
literature has been promptly placed before the public, the
library building has been kept in repair, and some improve-
ments made.
We have not been able to think of any new privileges to
offer our patrons, and no event has specially stimulated read-
ing, vet we have given out more books than in 1900. This
is gratifying, particularly as the increase in circulation has
been accompanied by ahother slight reduction in the reading
of fiction; this is now down to 76 per cent., a rate not
discreditable when compared with other libraries' statistics,
but one which we hope to see lowered as time goes on;
only four years ago our fiction was read to the extent of 85
per cent. Magazines have been taken out even more freely
than heretofore ; and it may interest the members of the
science department of the Woman's Club to know that there
has been a perceptible increase in the circulation of scientific
works.
What we at the library have known as the "Saturday
night rush," when hundreds of persons came to get a good
story for over Sunday, has been less noticeable of late months,
and we feared to add up our figures, lest we should find a
deficit in our desk work for the year. But the footing was
many hundreds in advance of 1900, and we exulted that the
steady, sane use of better books all through the week had
PUBLIC LIBRARY.
27a
given lis an excess to the credit of non-fiction. If, some day,.
we can offer, by access to shelves, as free an examination of
books and magazines as can be enjoyed in a private library,
many valuable but comparatively unknown volumes will be
selected, and the character of our circulation raised still
higher.
Concord has a population of 19,632. Exactly 89,000 books
were handed over the delivery desk in 1901. We wish these
statistics meant that each citizen had read over four books
thoroughly. Instead, some child has skimmed dozens of books
and another has read none at all ; one adult has known the
library to be the place where he can find out things ; another
adult has had the general idea that a public library contains
poetry, essays, biograph}' and history, and has not imagined
our abundance of technical and industrial works.
A public library is, nowadays, a great department store,
and should be managed with the same push and enterprise
and desire to supply all customers, i. e., all taxpayers. At
Field's, in Chicago, one can buy lettuce on the top floor
and steam-engines in the basement. So, at a library, a
borrower ought to be able to get perishable green goods in
latest novels, or works of originality and force which will
move the world.
We despair of a right understanding of our institution,
however, so long as our budding clientele says, "Please may
I take out 'libr'ies'?" We ask the small applicant if he
wants the building, or us, or books? And when his face
lights up at the word books, we hope he begins to see a
difference in words, which may lead to his knowing some time
a dift'erence in books, and end by his realizing that truth is
stranger than fiction, that " Up from Slavery" and " The
Making of an American " are as fascinating as any fictitious
tale of a poor boy's rise to fame and fortune. Titles that
take boys' ffinc}' read, "Luck and Pluck," "Strive and
Succeed," " Try and Trust." Surely no Horatio Alger urchin
ever so strove and so succeeded as Mr. Washington and
Mr. Riis.
18
274 CITY OF CONCORD.
If people only knew that a library Ukes to be put upon its
mettle as a provider of information, they would not hesitate
to come in and, if necessary, expose, by inquiry, the weak
places in our departments. As soon as a lack on any given
subject becomes known, it is made good immediateh. For
instance, a leading civil engineer came in to get something
on the laying of electric railroads. We had nothing recent
in that line, but in three days the two most helpful books on
that topic which could be bought in Boston were on our
shelf. Again, the school instructor in domestic science had
only to find us short on that subject, to lead us to buy at
once.
It is the bright spot in a weary day when an intelligent
adult comes in for assistance ; when, for example, a mother
says: " My children are beginning to read 'The Outlook'
editorials, and to ask me questions concerning our govein-
ment which I cannot answer. Have you any book wliich
will post me?" When, to illustrate further, a young man
calls for books on Germany before going to Mr. Streeter's
address on the union of that empire, and afterwards takes
pains to tell us that he got more out of the address and could
talk more understandingly with the speaker because of his
preliminary running through of our material. Mr. Streeter's
address is the first thing we shall hand to future inquirers
on this subject.
One hour a borrower wants to know what stain will make
new wood look old; the next, a committee- woman must
have a play to enact at a Christmas festival. A business man
drops in to consult a city directory of 'G"]^ and as he goes
out meets coming in a newspaper reporter after biographical
matter for the obituary of a former Concord resident. From
our Concord collection came the only picture of Moses Wool-
son procurable for the article on the Concord High School.
Hardly a day passes without a satisfactory happening of this
kind, in which the library has sufficed the investigator.
The tendency is markedly toward a more serious use of the
library for purposes other than recreation. The use of the
reference room by children is rapidly growing. Pupils are

finding out that there is a relation between their ordinary
text-books and literatui"e. To foster this, we sent out postal-
cards at the beginning of the school year, reminding our
teachers of what the library accords them in the way of priv-
ileges and of what more it might easily be persuaded to
accord. We wish more teachers would bring in their classes
to learn the use of indexes, encvclopredias, etc. To derive
the greatest benefit from a library it is essential to know how
to use page-headings, tables of contents, a card catalogue,
etc. ; and this knowledge should be gained in school davs,
and no pupil be allowed to graduate with the idea that the
dictionary is the only book of reference. As Sam Waiter
Foss, genial poet and fine librarian of Somerville, says,
desirous that each resident shall be a borrower at his library:
"If our books are good for half the pupils, thev are also
good for the other half."
Manvof our teachers occasionally take a dozen or so of our
library books to their schoolrooms, thus making the books
seek the readers, and creating a brisk little circulation of
them, which, if counted, _would add sensiblv to our total
stated in this report. One little girl advised her teacher to
have library books there for leisure minutes, "for," she said,
" I think we will have better ' conduct' if you do."
Turning from tlie consideration of circulation and borrow-
ers to the subject of purchases, we have first to acknowledge
gratefully our use of the accumulated interest on the bequest
left in 187S by Mr. Seth K. Jones for the buying of books for
the Public Library. We have conservativelv reserved a frac-
tion of this interest to spend next vear, but have nevertheless
been able to add more volumes than in any year of which the
present librarian has record.
Of the 1,350 volumes bought, many fill vacancies caused
by the wearing out of old favorites. It will surprise you to
hear that in the last twelve months we had to discard, as
utterly disreputable, 393 volumes.
Some one has said, " New books are the vitality of the
library, the old, its strength." Replenishing, therefore, goes
hand in hand with purchasing new material.
276 CITY OF COXCORD.
Some of our notable additions have been :
The Warner Librar\' of the World's Best Literature 30 vols.
The Harriman Alaska Expedition . . . . 2 vols.
Tissot's Life of Christ . . . . . '4 vols.
Dictionary of Building and Architecture . . 3 vols.
Dictionary of Philosophy and Psychology . . 3 vols.
The Abridged Poole's Index.
Various books of design.
A new edition of Lippincott's Biographical Dictionary.
A set of juvenile French periodicals, and a set of
Heath's Home and vSchool Classics . . .33 vols.
These last we keep on an open shelf by the desk, and thei"e
they win hundreds of readers among the little folks who oth-
erwise might never know these best of youthful stories. Sev-
eral adults have smilingly renewed their " Robinson Crusoe"
in the neat little brown volume.
Another noteworthy purchase has been that of stereoscopic
views of different countries, which we let out on borrowers'
cards judiciously, as we do valuable books. These pictures
and accoiiipanving lenses are so fine that onlv praise has
come from those who have already seen them ; and we fore-
see a long life of usefulness for the stereographs among inva-
lids and travel clubs.
In purchasing books, we aim to get all those which will
enable people to identify treasures they possess in their homes ;
for instance, illustrated books on rare laces, Indian baskets,
oriental rugs, old china, glassware, and antique furniture.
During 1901 we tried the system of adding new books
every month, instead of putting out a larger number every
two months. We are convinced that the monthly additions
are better, and that a library's tendency should be toward
placing a few new books often before the public. A feast or
a famine in mental food is no more salutary than in other
kinds of nourishment.
We shall bind up most of the magazines taken during the
year, and thus continue the files which are becoming recog-
PUBLIC LIBRARY. '1 1 i
nized by investigators as invaluable, by reason of the modern
means of tracing articles through the "Cumulative Index to
Periodicals,"
" We are confident," says one librarian, "that the appe-
tite for fiction has a solid foundation in nature and will
endure. We think that under due limitations it ought not to
be considered an evil." We feel like adding, — Let him who
is not accustomed to relax or divert himself with fiction cast
the stone at story-writers, and incidentallv hit George Eliot,
Victor Hugo, Thackeray, and Hawthorne. Your librarian
pleads guilty, on an exhausting day, to reaching up to the
new books over her desk for "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage
Patch," rather tliiin for the " Studies in Fossil Botany." Mis-
sions to the sick are deservedly much commended and are
carried on by many agencies. But there is a mission to the
tired which is worthy to be done, and a public library wants
a share in it.
We try, however, to buy fiction of such a character that no
permanent injurv can come from reading it. Occasionally
the excusable curiosity of manv very intelligent readers clam-
ors for a book of dubious value. We compass this difficulty
by buying one copy of the book and entering it in our card
catalogue only. By the time the book has worn out the
demand for it has ceased, the cards are removed from the
catalogue, and future librarians will not be obliged, much
against their will, to keep it in the library.
Clever and persistent advertising stimulates a call for cer-
tain new novels, producing a run on a library which affects
its staff about as pleasantly as a run on a bank afi'ects its offi-
cials. I presume there is usually about as good cause for the
one as for the other. For the "six best-selling books" are
not the six best books. Dr. Van Dvke says, "Although the
fact that a book has reached its 200,000 mark cannot possibly
prove that the book is bad, such a figure is unfortunately no
sure sign of its real literary value." " When the public shall
have learned that much of that which appears owes its suc-
cess to the business methods of its publishers, there will be a
rebound to the older standards and more worthy books."
278 CITY OF COXCOKD.
The Booklovers Library seems to have been created to
satisfy this ahnost universal desire to read the new books.
It may soon perceptiblv reheve the pressure upon pubHc
libraries to furnish manifold copies of a nine days wonder in
literature. We are often asked politely, in roundabout ways
so as not to hurt our feelings, if tlie Booklovers Librarv con-
flicts with ours.
No, a hundred times no ! It may keep us from seeing in
our building some delightful people who have become
enrolled among its members; but the giving out of fresh nov-
els is only a small item in our work and opportunities. We
are not on a single track, and there will be no collision.
We have one protest to make, however, in connection with
the Booklovers Library. If townspeople studied our monthly
lists, kindly printed by our two daily papers, as assiduously as
they study the beautiful catalogues of the Booklovers Library,
they would find that we possess most of the books (in the
English language) offered by the latter. We do not care
how many copies of "The Crisis" come from Boston, but
we do feel it when a citizen thinks she must send there for
" The Progress of Invention in the 19th Centurv," or when a
teacher says she is enjoying a Booklovers' copy of Green-
ough's "Words and Their Ways," and asks if we have heard
of it, while there is the book in front of her on our open
shelf, trying to allure some one into taking it. Let no one
import " The Improvement of Towns and Cities," for we
bought that admirable book as soon as it was published last
spring, and have been disappointed that no one has cared
enough for the civic beauty of Concord to read it.
It is entertaining to observe how a new successful work
sets the public to reading all the old writings of the same
author. " The Cavalier " revives an interest in Cable. We
are always reminded that dealers say they buy a new stock of
goods to make the old stock sell.
Comparing our institution with other liliraries, we find we
have very little " red tape" ; even reference books and works
of art are given out when at all practicable, for they arc for
the use of the present generation as much as for posterity.
PUBLIC LIBRARY. 279
We have shown from the source of the Library Art Club
many exhibits of pictures which have been greatly enjoyed.
About the same number of new borrowers register annu-
ally, 639 being the number of applicants the past year.
Almost 500 children have frequented the little box we dig-
nify by the name of Boys' Room. May the day be not far
distant when a big, sunny Children's Room will be an adjunct
of our library ! It is a valued feature in progressive libraries
of any size.
We are indebted for gifts of books, periodicals, plants, and
picture exhibits to the following: Mrs. Armenia White, Miss
M. A. Downing, Mr. Samuel C. Eastman, Mr. Henry A.
Kimball, Mrs. Sarah J. Adams, Dr. J. E. Hoyt, Mrs. Eddy,
to the government press at Washington, to the Salvation
Army, and to temperance and philanthropic societies for their
publications, to state and city institutions for their yearly
reports, to the publishers of several newspapers, and to the
different colleges for their annual catalogues. Through the
warm weather we are fortunate in being remembered very
frequently with flowers for the desk.
It has been said that the first requisite of means to bring
the treasures of a library to the notice of the people is attend-
ants ready, eager, and willing. My assistants are that.
It is an honor and a privilege to give the foregoing account
of the growth and work of the library.

REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS.
To the City Council of the City of Concord:
The park commissioners respectfully submit the following-
report :
Appropriations and expenditures for the past year were
as follows :

Expenditures.
White park
. $3,500.00

$3,640.00 $3,554.16
It will be noticed that in the aggregate the commissioners
have kept within the appropriations ; but work which is abso-
lutely necessary must be put ofl' from year to year on account
of lack of funds.
White Park.
The work at White park has been carried on by the usual
force, which with the large area to cover and the necessary
work demanded has been well done. Over eight hundred
loads of Riling have been put on the north end of the park,
covering up the low ground, and making- it ready for a top
covering which will be needed in the spring.
288 CITY OF CONCORD.
On account of badly-washed walks the superintendent has
laid over 750 square feet of gutters to prevent in the future
damage which is occasioned by heavy showers. The walks
have been newly gravelled with material which we have had
on the grounds, but which now is exhausted and will necessi-
tate our finding it in other localities.
It was hoped that we could build a much-needed tool house
this last year, but could not do so, although the stone founda-
tion for one was laid, and we shall hope to erect a building
this coming year. A fence will also have to be constructed,
as the temporary one erected some years ago is giving way.
Owing to the widening of Centre street between Pine and
Auburn streets, the park has become exposed and changed
so much that quite a sum must be expended to fix it.
With each year the development of this park is gratifying,
and when all the plans are carried out it will accommodate
all with facilities for rest and pleasure.
The expenditures have been : For labor, $2,023.06 ; grade,
$88.65; shrubs and seed, $84.20; hardware and tools,
$48.34; lumber, $14.90; fertilizer, $21; water, $15; inci-
dentals, $129.45 ; a total of $2,424.60.
RoLLixs Park.
The larger part of the work has been done on the clearing.
The ground was smoothed and leveled thoroughly with plow
and harrow, then seeded, and one ton of fertilizer put on.
New water service was laid, using one thousand feet of iron
pipe, with eight hydrants at various points with which to
supply water for the grass and shrubs.
This park is enjoyed by many people, and services have
been held on Sunday during the summer months. On the
whole, better order has prevailed.
The expenditures have been : For labor, $533.96 ; seed and
trees, $29.50; fertilizer, $28; hardware and tools, $22.52;
iron pipe and fitting, $111.36; incidentals, $39.53; a total
of $764.87.
PUBLIC PAKKS. 289
Pexacook Park.
Tills park has been a very popular resort for picnickers,
and the work is wholly one of care and keeping the pavilion
in repair.
There has been expended: For labor, $77,10; lumber,
$8.18; incidentals, $3 .So; a total of $88.08.
Bradley Park.
For the maintenance of this park the following has been
expended: Labor, $24.03; fertilizer, $4.20; water, $4.00;
incidentals, $2.50; a total of $34.72.
Ridge Avenue Park.
On account of the dry weather after seeding, also for pre-
serving the trees and shrubs already planted on this plot of
ground, it was found necessar}' to put in pipes for citv
watc!', making an extra expense, and a consequent over-run-
ning of the appropriation.
The expenditures have been as follows: Labor, $20.01 ;
iron pipe and fittings, $13.72 ; water, $3.00; fertilizer, $2.80.
Fiske Park.
The sum of $200 was appropriated to grade the triangle
between North Main street and Fiske street, at the earnest
solicitation of the citizens at the North End. The amount
was carefully expended bv the superintendent, but the uneven
grade of the original ground and the high grade given by the
city engineer necessitated more filling than was at first antici-
pated. Over 380 loads of gravel were placed on this plot ;
the loam was moved, and then replaced after the filling. In
order to make a path over the embankment, granite steps
were put in at a cost of $35.
To fix the title to this piece of ground, an arrangement was
made b}' a joint resolution of the city government, authorizing
the mayor to accept a deed from William P. Fiske, quitclaim-
ing all his right and title to land lying south of stone bounds

placed by the city engineer. The superintendent estimates
that it will require the additional sum of $350 to complete
this park.
The expenditures have been: For labor, $163.65 ; stone
steps, $35; incidentals, $0.96; a total of $199.61.
The park system has grown since the first board of park
commissioners who were chosen in 1SS5, and who consisted
of Josiah Minot, Benjamin C White, John M. Hill, Joseph
R. Walker, and William P. Fiske. Since 1SS7 the commis-
sioners have received from regular appropriations $40,000,
or an average of $2,666.67 per year. They have also received
in gifts from Mrs. N. White $1,700, Mrs. C. H. Newhall
$500, and Mr. C. H. Newhall for the bridge, $50; from
other sources $1,215, making a total of funds passing through
their hands of $43,465. The city has also paid $5,350 for
land which has been added to White and Rollins parks.
The gentlemen composing the West End syndicate in 1898
made a gift of land to the city, and it has been named Ridge
Avenue park.
The commissioners have also improved other tracts of land
owned by the city, together with the maintenance of Penacook
park, which came under their control in 1S95. Appended
are tables giving the yearly appropriations and expenditures
for construction and maintenance since a park board was
established.

REPORT OF HISTORY COMMISSION.
To the City Council:
The completed manuscript of the History of Concord is
now in the possession of the Histor}* Commission. An edi-
torial committee, consisting of James O. Lvford, Henry
McFarland, and Charles R. Corning, is revising and arrang-
ing this manuscript for the printer. The contract for printing
will be made when this work is completed. As nearly as
can be now estimated the history will be a volume of
upwards of one thousand pages of five hundred words to the
page, including the illustrations. After the contract is made
the subscribers will have the option of having the book
bound in \.\\o volumes or one, those who elect to have two
vohu-nes paying for the additional cost of binding, which in
the cloth binding will probably not exceed one dollar. This
is merely a question of convenience to the subscribers in the
use they make of the book. If it is to be referred to often it
will be easier to handle if bound in two volumes. It is
probable that the copies bound for the trade, after the sub-
scribers have been supplied, will be in two volumes, and
the price to purchasers will be in excess of that to subscrib-
ers. For a limited period subscriptions can be made to the
Secretary.
When the contract is made with the printer it can be
definitely stated what month this year the history will be
ready for delivery.

REPORT OF CITY PHYSICIAN.
To the City Cotoicil :
I have the honor to present the following report of the work
clone in my departnient for the year ending December 31,
1 90 1.
Number of calls ..... 92
Office consultations .... 27
Vaccinations . . . . .271
Examinations for insanity ... 4
It will be noticed that there was an unusually large num-
ber of vaccinations. This is a consequence of the wholesome
fear engendered by the epidemic of small-pox now sweeping
over the country, together with the activity of our board of
health in the matter of compulsory vaccination of school
children. Through the efforts of this board probably nearly,
if not quite, all of our school children now satisfy the law in
this respect.
I think it worthv your notice, as tending to controvert the
increasing fear of untoward etlects following vaccination, that
of this large number of cases, only one was sick enough to
call me in consultation. This one was all right the day fol-
lowing my attendance. They are perfectly free from trouble
to-day.
Respectfully submitted,

CEMETERY DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF CEMETERIES
Concord, N. H., March 1, 1902.
To the Citij Councils of the Cifij of Concord:
In making our annual report the commissioners of cemeteries
beg leave to say that the work of the past year has consisted
mainly in repairing and beautifying lots and avenues.
Dui-ing the year we have laid out and pi'ovided a new block of
lots in the northeast section of Blossom Hill Cemetery, and lots
are being rapidly taken.
No great expense incident to grading will be incurred the com-
ing year.
We intend to plant trees and shrubs, and in a general way
beautify our already beautiful cemetery.
The burials during the past year have not been as many as
some previous years. The burials in Blossom Hill Cemetery
have been one hundred and twenty-six (126), and in the Old
North, twenty-two (22).
We have completed the iron fence the entire length of the north
line of Blossom Hill Cemetery, and consider it a great benefit to
the grounds.
We have constantly called yoiu" attention to the great need of
a chapel, hoping that some generous citizen would place such a
memorial in Blossom Hill Cemetery. After years of wniting it
seems that a realization of our hopes is near. We are reliahly
CEMETERY DEPARTMENT. 297
informed that such a chapel will be built the coniiug year, by a
wealthy and generous lover of Concord. Concord cannot boast
of a more beautiful memorial to the dead than this will be; and
your commissioners feel greatly rejoiced in being able to report
the prospect of this much needed improvement.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
OF
UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT,
COiMCORD, N. H.,
FOR YEAR ENDING 31 ARCH 31, 1902.
The Board of Education herewith presents to the people
of Union School district its forty-second annual report, em-
bracing the financial year from March, 1901, to March, 1902.
The organization of the board remains practically the same
as last year, the only changes being those in the membership
of certain sub-committees made necessary by the election of
tliree new members at the last annual meeting.
The distribution of the pupils attending the Rumford school
w"as accomplished by the superintendent in such a manner as
to entail the least possible detriment to scholars and incon-
venience to teachers. In the past few months a large and
hanilsome structure has risen over the site of the old Rum-
ford, and so rapidly is tlie work carried on that there seems
to be no doubt as to the new Rumford being ready for occu-
pancy at the beginning of the fall term. Tliis building, mod-
ern in every feature, is a splendid addition to Concord's
collection of schoolhouses.
During the year the Training scliool has been transferred
to the Dewey building from the Franklin, its first home.
The singularly attractive location of the Dewey building,
together with its convenient accessibility ami internal arrange-
ments, convinced the committee to whom the question had
been referred that the present and future welfare of the school
SCHOOL REPORT. 311
would be promoted by making the change. This opinion
met witb the entire concurrence of the board ; consequently
the change was made and the best of results have followed.
In some respects the Training school is the most critically
observed school in the district; its work is constantly on
trial, and its methods attract constantly a large number of
visitors.
Since the school has moved to the Dewey building the
number of strangers visiting the classes has been surprisingly
increased. Connected with the Training school is a Kinder-
garten training department inaugurated during the year just
passed. Experience had shown the necessity of this branch
of teaching and the results derived from its trial have met the
approval of the board. Respecting this subject, we call
attention to what Mr. Rundlett has to say in his report.
Another change suggested by experience has been the add-
ing of a third room in the Eastman building (East Concord).
In order to do class work properly, so that teachers and pupils
should find it in the highest degree beneficial and satisf^ictory,
another room became imperative. When the Eastman school
was built two rooms on the ground floor wei'e finished,
leaving the upper story unfinished and open to the ridge-
pole. In this space was made a light and commodious school-
room for pupils of the Jiigher grades, including the ninth.
It will be remembered that in our report for last year we
called attention to the subject of ventilation and improved
sanitary conditions, according to the tentative plans of Professor
Woodbridge and the suggestions of health-ofiicer Palmer.
An appropriation of two thousand dollars was voted for
beginning work of this kind, part of which has been expended
in installing new methods of ventilation, and part in substi-
tuting a modern system of sanitation for the old.
From the report of the Committee on Buildings and Repairs,
made to the Board of Education, will be seen the nature and
extent of the work accomplished, while reference to the finan-
cial report will show the expenditures incurred in carrying
out the plans of Professor Woodbridge and the recommenda-
tions of the board of health.

At the beginning of the fall term an unlooked-for and per-
plexing situation was presented by the High school. Owing
to its suddenness and novelty no measures had been taken to
meet it, and some inconvenience was experienced in adjust-
ing the extraordinary conditions. Instead of finding the
usual number of Concord pupils, the principal found await-
ing him not onlv that niunber but more than fifty additional
316 CITY OF CONX'ORD.
pupils hailing from Penacook, the tovyn district, and from
towns near and far. The explanation of all this is found in
an act passed by the legislature of 1901, the first section of
which is as follows :
"Any town not maintaining a high school or school of
corresponding grade, shall pay for the tuition of any child
who with parents or guardian resides in said town, and who
attends a high school or academy in the same or another town
or city in this state, and the parent or guardian of such child
shall notify the school board of the district in which he resides
of the high school or academy which he has determined to
attend."
The immediate result of this legislation brought to our
High school about thirty boys and girls living without the
city limits. Complimentary as this was to the reputation of
our school, it has nevertheless caused an overcrowding that
is anything but desirable. Strange as it may seem to those
unacquainted with the condition of the High school building,
the tact is that the room space and facilities for carrying on
the work of teachers and scholars are not only inadequate at
the present time, but have been inadequate for several years.
The scholars from Union School district alone have so out-
grown the space provided for them, that the question of an
enlarged building has become paramount.
One of the exigencies by which the board is confronted is
the crowded condition of the High school building, and the
immediate need of increased facilities for the accommodation
of those pupils who come from adjacent districts, both within
and without the city limits. Not only is the large hall over-
crowded, thus necessitating the use of all the a\ailable space
for desk room, thereby blocking several aisles which should
always remain open, but the recitation rooms are altogether
inadequate. Not only are these all used, but the room occu-
pied b}' the board of education has to be utilized by classes
for recitation, as well as the large hall during study hours.
These cramped facilities not only greatly interfere with the
proper work of the school, but also with the maintenance of
SCHOOL REPORT. ' 317
the highest discipline, without which no school can produce
the best results. If the present influx of pupils is to con-
tinue, — and there seems to be no reason for anticipating any
reduction of the present number, — the present building should
be enlarged so as to increase the capacity of the hall, as well
as provide more i-ecitation rooms.
We feel that the time has come when the district should
take action respecting the school on the Plains. That sec-
tion of our city, constantly increasing in population, has cer-
tainly the right to ask for larger and more modern school
facilities for its children. The present building, containing
but a single room, is utterly inadequate for the number of
children attending the school. It seems to the board of edu-
cation that a two-story building should be provided for this
district, with two lower rooms made ready for present occu-
pancy, leaving the upper story unfinished, but available for
future use.
The addition of a few feet to the Manual Training School,
thereby gaining much-desired space, seems called for. At
present the schoolroom is hardly large enough for the work
carried on, and some addition ought at once to be made,
relieving the overcrowding and affording more storage space.
A few hundred dollars would probably be sufficient for this
purpose.
With the completion of the Rumford building the district
will own seventeen schoolhouses, valued at nearly four hun-
dred thousand dollars, four of these houses having been built
within the past twelve years, namely : The High, Kimball,
Dewev, and Rumford. It will be readily seen, therefore,
that the district has been rapidly acquiring a vei'y valuable set
of school buildings which, added to the older houses, makes
a school plant of large valuation. The board have given
much thought to this matter, and have come to the conclu-
sion that the present system of supervision of our buildings
ought to be changed. For several years, or since iS86, the
general oversight and care of buildings has been performed
by a siib-committee of three, designated the committee on
318 ' CITY OF CON'COHD.
buildings and repairs. For a time this committee did very
well, but with changes in membership and the increase in the
number and size of the new structures, the deficiencies of this
arrangement became noticeable. In otiier words, the largeh'
increased school plant renders the old-fashioned method of
supervision impracticable. The buildings not only need con-
stant attention if they are to be kept in good condition, but
repairs should be made seasonably. Moreover, the buildings
should be frequently inspected, and a watchful, intelligent
supervision exercised over them. Tlie making of contracts
and the overseeing of repairs has now become no small part
of the duties connected with the board of education.
The extent and importance of the work performed under
the supervision of the committee on buildings and repairs
during the summer vacation of 1901, may be in a measure
comprehended bv reading the report of the committee on a
foregoing page. This is likely to be repeated year by year
until the buildings are put in better sanitary condition. Even
at the end of that period, further need of repairs will be found
urgent, for the larger the imildings the greater the necessity
of care and watchfulness. It is plain that the time has arrived
when a change should be made in tlie present method of
effecting repairs and supervising contracts. We feel that
some arrangement whereby the office of financial agent could
be so enlarged as to include the regular and intelligent over-
sight of our schoolhouses and the supervision of repairs,
painting, and alterations, would be for the positive good of
the district. We should then have an officer whose duty it
would be not onlv to purchase the supplies and act as dis-
bursing agent, but to do the work now entrusted to a sub-
committee of the board. It is hardly to be expected that the
members of the committee, usually active men of business,
can give as constant and thorough attention to these matters
as a permanent supervisor could give. For the best inter-
ests of the district, and for economical reasons as well, we
are of the unanimous opinion tliat a change in this method
should be made.
SCHOOL REPORT. 319
With the payment this year of fifteen thousand doUars is
closed the account incurred by the building of the High and
the Kimball schools, one hundred and twenty odd thousand
dollars in all paid by the people of this district since 1889.
The bonds of the Dewey are payable eight thousand a year
beginning in 1906, and three years will cancel them ; and
then comes the indebtedness represented by the new Rum-
ford, which, let it be hoped, will be funded for yearly pay-
ments at an amount not exceeding five or six thousand dollars.
While freedom from debt is most commendable,. the method
of paying the debt by raising so large a sum as fifteen thou-
sand dollars annually on the property of Union District, has
raised the tax rate appreciably, and caused taxes to bear
heavily on our people.
The board of education ask the taxpayers for only such
appropriations as experience seems to demand, consistent with
the proper conduct of the schools and the inevitable progress
of educational subjects. The people of Concord are splen-
didly generous toward their schools, being determined that
no schools shall surpass those of Union District ; and the
members of the board, mindful of the trust imposed upon
them, strive strenuously to maintain the high character of our
common schools.
In conclusion, we ask a careful perusal of the superintend-
ent's report, and of those accompanying it.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT.
To the Board of Education of Union ScJwol District:
With respect I submit to your honorable body my sixteenth
annual report of the condition of the schools in Union School
District, being the forty-second of its series. I have made the
usual tabulated statistics a part of the report, but will com-
ment upon them no further than to say that the total enroll-
ment for the year ending June 37, 1901, showed an increase
of ninety pupils over that of the preceding year. Statistics
are necessary and interesting, but the decisive test of our s^'S-
tem of instruction lies in the character of the work done by
the pupils. The number of children of foreign birth in Con-
cord is so sinall that the energv of the teachers is not con-
sumed in trying to carry them along with the more readily
instructed portion. The public school, speaking as it does
for the republic and for personal liberty, has alwa3'S been
considered the safeguard of our form of government, and our.
greatest solicitude is that all classes of children, both foreign
and native born, rich and poor, should receive the benefit of
its teachings.

Attendance and School Accommodations.
The school attendance has held its own vemarkablv well in
spite oi' so many hindrances. The giving up of the old Rum-
ford building forced us to make provision for four extra
schools with four less rooms than last year. To do this, the
Cogswell and Chandler kindergartens and the ninth grade of
the Kimball school were discontinued. No fourth room
being available, the pupils were housed by sending them
where they were most easily accommodated, school lines
heretofore existing being disregarded. Alany were asked to
walk long distances, and were put to other inconveniences;
but the parents generally showed forbearance, so that the
ai'rangement has been maintained with comparatively little
friction. Many rooms were so crowded as to render excellent
work next to impossible. Pressure was so great in the
Chandler and Penacook primaries that it was thought best to
employ an assistant teacher for them during the last half of
the year. Even this unusual condition, and the taking out of
pupils by the new French parochial school, did not cause the
attendance to fall below that of last year. The schools in the
northern part of the district still continue crowded, particu-
larly in the lowest primaries, — tlie Tahanto suffering the
most. Unless a steady increase is shown in this section,
however, I see no immediate need of constructing more
school buildings. The southern part of the city will be well
accommodated when the new Rumford building is completed,
with the exception of that section near the southern boundary
in the vicinity of Rockingham, Donovan, and South Main
streets. I think the board will soon see the necessity of mov-
ing the Bow Brook building to this vicinity for the accom-
modation of kindergarten and primary pupils who cannot walk
to the Penacook and Cogswell schools. There are between
forty and fifty pupils here who would be benefitted thereby.
The attendance at the Plains school has been large, and satis-
factory work has not been done. The large number of classes
renders it impossible for the teacher to give as much drill as
is required. Some pupils have become discouraged and left
school because of a lack of attention.
SCHOOL REPORT. 357
In the Eastman building one new room was finished in the
second story and occupied in the fall, and as a consequence
these schools have been prosperous, and are now in the best
condition since this part of the city joined Union district.
The attendance in the high school shows an increase due
to the influx of tuition pupils for whom the new high school
law makes provision. Should this law continue in force for
an extended period of time, it will compel the district to fur-
nish more room for high school purposes. The new law in
regard to compulsory attendance at school has been carefulh'
observed, and Mr. Johnson has been kept busy in its execu-
tion. Already thirty-nine labor certificates have been issued
since last September. The truant officer's report to be found
elsewhere is worthy of careful study.
Training School.
At the beginning of the }ear in September the training
school was transferred from the Franklin to the Dewey
building. This was caused by an urgent demand for more
commodious quarters, consequent upon the institution of a
normal kindergarten class which was enrolled during the
summer after the board had decided to make a trial of a
scheme submitted by the superintendent. Our system of
instruction requires the kindergarten teacher to be well
versed in primarv methods for sub-primary work. Few
kindergartners are thus qualified. The question resolved
itself into this, either give up the kindergartens or provide
some means for the efficient training of such teachers. The
scheme was arranged so as to be practically self-supporting,
and next year will prove to be the means of saving expense to
the district. This class which numbers five resident and six
non-resident pvipils is in charge of Miss Helen L. Southgate,
normal kindergartner, with Miss Augusta M. Judkins as her
working assistant. From the beginning, in spite of the
difficulties which usually attend such worthy enterprises, the
class has prospered, both instructors and pupils evincing
much zeal in makins: this initial movement a success. There
3o8 CITY OF CONCORD.
is little doubt but tbat the scheme will prove its value to our
system of instruction and to our city, enhancing its already
acquired reputation for the conception, adoption, and practice
of advanced educational ideas. The pupils and regular
kindergarten teachers of the district have had the advantage
of lectures by Miss Ellen Gray, of Boston, who lectured on
" Kindergarten Games and Plays," on January 25 and March
8; and by Miss Laura Fisher, February 15, supervisor of
kindergartens in Boston on -'What education is best for
young children?" The training classes for primary work
have been unusually small and I find it easy to account for
this only upon the theory that it happened so. The school
has now only two pupil teachers but the prospect for a much
larger class next year is good.
The accommodations for successful work here were never
better, and it speaks well for those interested in the welfare
of our schools that they forego petty criticisms and credit the
school for what it has done and is likely to do in the future.
Supervision.
The schools have been supervised as faithfully as conditions
would permit, and results attained commensurate with the
amount of attention bestowed upon them ; yet it has not been
close enough to realize the best results. Choosing sound
methods and insuring their careful execution, securing
uniformity of work, detecting irregularities, and correcting
mistakes will not admit of hasty action. Time drawn from
school duties by work that is essentially clerical is really
misapplied and will not yield the returns which it ought.
The usual number of visits to the schools have been made by
the superintendent, and the teachers have been called in
meeting whenever occasion demanded.
Kindergartens.
The kindergartens have been materially improved by the
skilled supervision of Miss Southgate. Weekly meetings of
the teachers have been held, a uniform programme mapped
out and carried into execution. The pupil teachers of the
SCHOOL REPORT. 359
normal class have been assigned observation duty at stated
periods in the regular schools. Besides supplementing their
theoretical knowledge by practical work, they have lent
material aid to the regular teachers in various ways. The
attendance i?i the kindergartens has been good and the worth
of the instruction generally acknowledged. Parents will do
well to give their children a full kindergarten course before
placing them in the regular primary schools.
Military Drill.
Two periods weekly of about thirty five minutes each have
been allowed for military drill and calisthenics in the high
school. The boys have been instructed in " School of a
company in close order," " School of a soldier with and w'ith-
out arms," while some attention has been paid to " Extended
order " and "• Battalion drill." The girls have been given calis-
thenic exercises designed to correct the carriage, improve the
circulation and respiration, and increase the phvsical strength.
In addition to the annual competitive drill the company had a
field day in the spring. This was held on the intervale and
the afternoon was spent in drill and athletic games, closing
with a dress parade and a salute to the colors. The numbers
being large, a battalion of boys of two companies and a
four-company battalion of girls was organized. Some new
equipments have been provided and more ought to be. The
instructor has attended to his duties faithfully, taught
intelligently, makes a generally favorable report of the
condition of the company, and advises that more time be
given to the study of military science in order to broaden the
field of instruction and allow the lower classes more time
for drill.
The High School.
The high school has recorded the largest attendance in its
history. The maximum enrollment, has been 258, the mini-
mum 251, only seven having dropped out for various causes.
This is a fine record. There are at present fiftv tuition
pupils, thirty coming from without the limits of Concord.
360 CITY OF CONCORD.
The building was originall\' constructed to accommodate iSo
pupils. Without the tuition pupils there would be an
attendance of 3oi, so that the question of more room with or
without tuition pupils is one which cannot long be put off.
The revenue from tuition pupils is $2,350 and the extra
expense incurred by their attendance cannot be over $Soo, so
that the net proceeds of tuition would be $1,4^0. This is
the interest on quite a large sum of money and it is desirable
that the district should have it to lighten the general expense.
The hall alone now contains 230 desks crowded together by
narrowing the aisles far below the minimum required for safe
hygienic conditions, some having no aisle space at all. The
remainder of the pupils are seated in one of the recitation
rooms. There is no indication of a decrease in attendance.
The principal says "It is absolutely imperative that additional
accommodations for the school be provided at once." There
were not enough recitation rooms for the pupils so the board
room was utilized as w^ell as the laboratories. The principal
reports a prosperous year and generally commends the work
of the subordinate teachers.
Miss Walker was granted a leave of absence for the vear,
her place being taken by jVIiss Grace Morrill. Miss Emma
Hindley w^as chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the retire-
ment of Mr. Hyatt. The increased attendance made it
necessary to hire another teacher and Miss Carrie ISI. True
was chosen to fill the position.
The high school in a measure sets the standard of scholar-
ship and discipline for the lower schools, and any lapses in
either of these particulars is exceedingly injurious to the
whole system.
Primary axd Grammar Schooi.s.
The grading of the schools between the kindergarten and
the high school remains much the same as in previous vears.
Each succeeding year brings up the question of a better
adjustment of the requirements to the taste and ability of the
pupils. No more conscientious work is done in the district
SCHOOL REPORT. 361
than that of these schools and none more important. The
character of the work in the various branches is strengthened
each year by more judicious handling and a power of mind
ensues which is highly favorable when compared with that
produced by methods in use when I was a boy. The teachers
still have to combat prejudices caused bv a departure from old
ways and b\- many tilings which distract the attention of the
child from school work. It may be interesting to know that
almost all the criticism of school work comes from homes
where the pupil is not required to do any considerable
amount of manual labor. The school must always demand
careful application, and when it becomes subser\ient to the
demands of pleasure it cannot do that which is of service to
the child and for which taxes are annuallv assessed. Arith-
metic shows to advantage in the increased ability of the pupil
to think and reason, and I do not hesitate to say that for
knowledge of mathematics in this respect the schools were
never better equipped than they are to-day. The new
geographies are sound in theory and practical work and
are sure to prove their worth when the full series has been
on trial for a reasonable length of time. The reading course
should be revised and enriched by the introduction of
new material possessing literary merit, at least through
the first six grades. The results in map drawing and
coloring shown at the exhibition last June elicited much
favorable comment. A new spelling list has been pro-
vided for the eighth grade. This has three objects in
view, correct spelling, correct pronunciation, and correct
definition. The mother tongue in grades three, four, and
five should be followed bv the second book in grade six to
make the series complete. The Latin book introduced last
June is not satisfactory and not having proved successful
should be replaced by a more teachable one. The results of
the course in vertical penmanship are commendable. It is
legible, decidedly helpful to the eyesight, and recent tests
among school children developed the fact that it is faster
than the slant bv from ten to fifteen letters a minute.
3fi-2 CITY OF CONCORD.
Commercial houses vieing with each other for trade frequently
discover errors which do not exist, and are to be credited
with much of the agitation upon this subject.
As a whole the work of these grades is creditable and has
not been subject to as much criticism as in former years.
Wood and Iron Work.
The school has enjoyed its full measure of prosperity from
increased attendance and a continuation of the interest shown
in previous years. The classes are all lai'ge, some not
having adequate accommodations for carrying on the work.
The working outfit has been increased through the generosity
of public spirited citizens. Mr. Chailes P. Virgin presented
the school with a case of wood-working tools, Dr. George
M. Kimball a fine emery-wheel grinding machine, and the
instructors have constructed a power jig-sawing machine.
These are all desirable for the working outfit, aid in the
execution of the work, and furnish extra educational features.
The school is badly cramped for storage room. This may
be had by raising the shed another story or by moving the
school to new quarters. The principal compliments the
work of the new assistant, Mr. Stewart.
Sewing.
The instructor reports added interest and increased attend-
ance over former years. The pupils from the high school
deserve commendation for their faithful intlustry and excellent
deportment, the junior class being exceptional in this
respect. The number of pieces of finished work exceed those
of last year. The. classes have been so large that the time
for work usually given to machine sewing has been shortened.
It may be well to suggest more attention to that kind of work
which is properly classed under industrial art. While having
had some attention here it has not been given the attention
that it ought, but it is rapidly growing in favor, and in
SCHOOL REPOKT. 363
some cities the instructor has been sent abroad to become
more fully informed of its value and to be better able to
facilitate its introduction.
The instructor desires n)ore visitors that the work may be
better understood and appreciated.
Cooking.
Nearly the same course and line of work in cooking has
been in practice this year as last. It has been more carefully
arranged, thvis giving something new to each succeeding grade.
Individual cooking has been tried with signal success, and has
resulted in an increased interest as well as a more complete
knowledge of the preparation of the different dishes. It
involves a reasonable amount of home work, the pupil prac-
ticing from recipes given at tlie school and bringing in the
samples for inspection. At the close of the spring term the
eighth and ninth grade pupils prepared, cooked, and served
a dinner to their teachers. The cooking room has been
improved in various ways so that it is now in a quite satisfac-
tory condition. There have been thirty-five visitors to the
school this year and the instructor would be pleased to have
the number doubled next year.
Drawing.
The supervision of drawing has been exercised by Miss
Bell, the proficient instructor of last year. The same general
plan has been in use and the progress marked. Water-color
work has shown a decided improvement and if other condi-
tions would permit, more time would be allotted this branch.
In the high school, time had to be saved and as usual the
scientific course drawing had to sufl'er. Only half the time
of last year has been available. I agree with the instructor
that this course is seriously injured by this arrangement and
the pupils will be poorly prepared in this line of work if the
time is not fully restored. There are thirty-six pupils in the
studio class this year, attending in two divisions. The attend-
ance is larger, more regular, and the pupils more enthusiastic
364 CITY OF CONCORD.
than before. They are obliged to work in poorly heated,
ventilated, and lighted quarters, and there is urgent need of
more suitable accommodations. The primary and kinder-
garten normal classes combined have received instruction one
hour each week in free-hand drawing, composition, color and
harmony. Something has been done in the way of decora-
ting buildings. A beginning was made by purchasing and
placing in the halls of the Dewey school, a reproduction
in ivory-tinted plaster by Lucca Delia Robbia, a Bambino
by Andrea Delia Robbia, a Madonna by Michael Angelo, a
large photograph of The Children of Charles I. by Van
Dyck, and a statue of Diana of Versailles. The effect of
mural decorations would be better if the walls were tinted
for an appropriate background. This new departure in
decoration will surely exert a refining influence upon the
pupils by bringing them in contact with the truly good and
beautiful in art. The exhibition of last June, poorly attended
on account of the intense heat, was the best ever held here.
The work reflected great credit upon the instructor and the
pupils.
Music.
No radical changes have taken place either in method or
matter of musical instruction. Supplementary rote songs
have been added to the regular work of the first two grades.
Sight reading has increased in power and this was ably
demonstrated by the supervisor with a class from the West
Concord school at the February meeting of the Merrimack
Valley Teachers' Association. The high school has a
chorus of well-trained voices which was shown to excel-
lent eflect in the midwinter concert, which was held with
assisting talent at Phenix Hall, on the evening of February
14. About forty dollars was realized from this concert and
has been placed on deposit as a guaranty fund for future con-
certs. The instructor justly asks for more than forty minutes
a week for his work in the high school in order to accomplish
satisfactory results. The teaching has been efficient and the
supervisor generously gives the greater part of the credit to
the re<»-ular teachers.

The Morale of School Work.
In casting a critical eye toward the scholastic phase of
school work, we should not be unmindful of the moral
element which forms the basal principle of all true educa-
tion. Those who have given but little thought to child
nature, and have never actually engaged in school work are
too often inclined to think that the very necessary element of
school instruction is teaching the pupil how to obtain a live-
lihood, or rather something that bears directly upon wage
earning. On the contrary, those who have studied the educa-
tional problem believe the primary principle to be, teaching
the child how to live, not merely how to obtain a living but
how to enjoy his provision as well.
To attain the highest measure of excellence, to stand as
something desirable for the children of all, to act as a lever
which constantly lifts society from a lower to a higher plane,
a school system must be founded upon morality, justice, and
intelligence. The one indispensable element is truth —
truth in manner, truth in matter, and truth in method. The
nearer the pupil gets to truth in heart and action, the nearer
he is perfected as a responsible, moral and intellectual
being.
Conducive to the aesthetic education of the child is the
improvement in the construction and decoration of school
buildings. If the building is commodious, well-heated and
ventilated, perfect in its sanitary conditions, of sound archi-
tectural design, and embellished with works of art, a child
naturally dresses better, acts better, talks in better language
and thinks purer thoughts. Frequently this healthful influ-
ence extends to the immediate neighborhood and its social
status is perceptibly improved.
Methods of instruction should be founded upon reasonable
hypotheses, for after youth has been passed and manhood
reached, reflection often causes keen regrets at the amount oi
time wasted upon work called for by methods which had
their false conception in the brains of aspirants for educa-
tional fame through introducing somethingf new. The same
366 CITY OF CONCORD.
is true of old methods, practiced because they were thou^^ht to
be good when I was a i:)ov. Usually those engaged in active
teaching are good judges of what methods are suited to pro-
mote the moral and intellectual welfare of the child.
So it is with the matter which is taught within and without
the text-book, matter illogical in statement and arrangement
which fails to fortify the pupil against futuie contingencies.
Error in thought, spelling, grammatical construction, mathe-
matical accuracy, geographical and historical statement —
all work havoc with results we expect from time and effort
spent in school.
Nature alone stands forth as the most persistent of truth-
tellers. Her laws are still immutable. The nearer we bring a
child to nature the nearer we bring him to truth in thought
and act. This being an indisputable fact, it ill becomes any-
bodv to belittle the study of nature through minimizing its
helpful influence. Its work is sure and sooner or later will be
made manifest in various and unexpected ways.
All recreations identified in any way with school life or
indorsed by those in charge of school children should be of
such a character as to elevate, not lower, the moral tone.
There are enougii diversions combining the recreative and
the educative to lighten the monotony of school routine with-
out descending to cheap and degrading amusements.
Underlying all these things and transcendent in importance
is the nature and attitude of the teacher. To become a power
for the upbuilding of the school morale, of society in general,
and a credit to the profession, the teacher must be free from
boorishness, refined in nature, just to all, pure in speech,
thought and action, and must set an example of manhood and
womanhood which the pupils may safely emulate. The sub-
ject of school morale is one which is being brought forward
to-day more forcibly than ever before, and the best educa-
tional minds are giving it due thought. This thought is
necessarv in order that the educational superstructure, reared
by years of patient toil and anxiety, may not be ruthlessly
torn down.

APPENDIX.
Opinion of the Supreme Court in Regard to
Tuition Pupils of Penacook.
No. loi. ^slerrimack.
UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT -.'.9. DISTRICT NO. 30.
Assu:\ipsit, for tuitions of children who, with their par-
ents or guardians, reside in the defendant district, and who
attend the high school of the plaintiff district.
The defendant district does not maintain a high school, or
one of a grade corresponding to the plaintiff's high school.
The respective parents or guardians of the children attend-
ing said high school notified the defendant school board of
the purpose of said children to attend said school.
The defendants declined to pay said tuitions, or any of
them, claiming that the same should be paid by the city of
Concord.
There are three school districts in Concord, namely :
Union vSchool district, District No. 20, and the tow'u district.
Transferred from the superior court by Stone, J.
Mitchell S Foster^ for the plaintiff.
David F. Dudley^ for the defendant.
Blodgett, C. J. The sole contention of the defendant
district is that the tuitions of the children resident therein,
who attend the high school of the plaintiff district, should be
paid by the city of Concord, in which both districts are
situate.
We are unable to find any tenable basis for this contention.
So far as appears, and as we take the fact to be, each district
has "a special, independent, and complete organization, and
officers of its own having exclusive authority for the superin-
tendence and government of its schools, and the administra-
tion of all its school affairs," and is a distinct and separate
398 CITY OF CONCORD.
organization and corporation, not mcrelv as to each other,
but as to the city of Concord. Sarg-efit \s. District^ 63
N. H. 52S, 530, ^33? S34; Wheeler vs. Altoit, 68 N. H.
47S.
With these rehitions and conditions existing, it would not
only be obviously imjust to subject the city to the pavment of
tuition at the plaintiff's high school, for children resident in
the defendant district, which has authoritv to establish and
inaintain a high school of its own (Public Statutes, chapter
89, section 9), but we think the parties fairly come within the
meaning of "town" as used in chapter 96, Laws of 1901,
indicating that "any tosvn not maintaining a high school or
school of corresponding grade, shall pay for the tuition of
an}' child who with parent or guardian resides in said town,
and who attends a high school or academy in the same or
another town or city in this state, and the parent or guardian
of such child shall notify the school board of the district in
which lie resides, of the high school or academy which he
has determined to attend."
This construction not onl\' accords with the requirements
of justice and the well-recognized independent corporate
powers of school districts, and the historical evidence, but it
is also authorized bv Sargeut vs. District and Wheeler vs.
Alton^ siipra^ and by section 5, chapter 2, of the Public Stat-
utes, which provides : "The word 'town' shall extend and
be applied to any place incorporated, or whose inhabitants
are required to pay anv tax, and shall mean that city, town,
ward, or place in which the subject matter referred to is situ-
ate, or in which the persons referred to are resident, unless
from the context a different intention is manifest." But,
apart from these considerations, towns, as such, not being
authorized to maintain high schools, and having no boards of
education, it is manifest from the act of 1901, itself, that the
construction adopted is the correct one.
The plaintiff's action is maintainable. Case discharged.
All concurred.
SCHOOL REPORT. . 399
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF
DISTRICT No. 3o, PENACOOK.
The Board of Education presents herewith its annual
report, accompanied by the report of the superintendent of
schools and of the treasurer to the board, and respectfully
submits them to the citizens of the district. For the first
time in the history of this district we have a superintendent
of schools, this district uniting with the city of Franklin for
this purpose, in accordance with a vote passed at an adjourned
school meeting held April 27, 1903.
The value of the work of a superintendent of schools can-
not be demonstrated in one year. Especially is this true
when teachers and members of the Board of Education are
unused to such supervision. For this reason, and because a
superintendent is considered a necessity in most districts and
by all competent educators, we recommend that the district
appropriate money for the purpose of employing a superin-
tendent another year. A pressing need in education in this
district is skilled supervision by a man of broad and liberal
training, who is familiar with educational methods in other
and larger localities, and who shall have power and oppor-
tunity to administer school affairs according to such methods.
The time has come when we must either adopt this plan with
consequent skilled work and improvement in our schools, or
grow more accustomed to low standards, in consequence of
which children waste time and opportunity and society suffers
sorely. With the administration of school affairs by a super-
intendent who is given authority and held responsible, goes
out the personal element which has sometimes caused friction
and unpleasantness.
The Board of Education should centralize responsibility on
the same principle as large business interests are managed,
and the superintendent should understand that he is to be
judged by his record and held responsible for results. It is
because the Union District believes in skilled supervision and

has confitlcnce in Air. Sanborn, that they are wilHng to admit
the graduates of our grammar school to their high school
without examination, and the continuance of such supervi-
sion means that eveiy graduate of our grammar school will
be cjualified to commence work in the high school without
the extra effort and expense of tutoring, or the dread of exam-
ination bv teachers with whom they are unacquainted.
No parent can afford to send his child to a teacher who is
not qualified by education, training, culture and nobility of
character, to develop the child into the noblest possible type of
manhood or womtuihood. There is no place where high
ideals should be so constantly proclaimed both by precept
and example as in the school, and a high standard of qualifi-
cations of teachers, both educational and moral, should be
maintained.
During the past year sanitary improvements have been
made in the basements of the school building. .Sinks with
automatic faucets have been substituted for the unsightly and
unsanitarv pails for drinking purposes, and a new urinal with
automatic flush has been substituted for the old wooden
trough. These improvements are, however, only a begin-
ning of what ought to be done. The schoolhouse is unsani-
tarv, and will continue to be a menace to the h.ealth of every
child in the school until a thorough system of ventilation is
put in the building.
We commend the untiring zeal with which Mr. Merriam
and Mr. Sanborn have worked for the uplifting of the whole
school, the improvement of the school building, and the
establishment of high moral and physical ideals.

school report. 401
Report of Superintendent,
I herewith respectfull}- submit to the School Board of Dis-
trict No. 20, Penacook, N. H., my first annual report.
The labors of a school superintendetit in a new field must
in part be that of the student. He must find out and become
conversant with those conditions of school and commvniity
which have a bearing upon the educational problem which he
is to solve. When this is done he can wisely formulate a
plan along which he can work for the best interests and
greatest improvement of the schools. In the following report
I shall endeavor to set forth some of the items of such a plan,
and on careful consideration you will agree with me that
these items are of vital importance to the welfare of the
schools.
The superintendent's work in Penacook has been difficult,
and not altogether as pleasant as it should have been. This
was in part due to the fact that in the fall the idea of a school
superintendency was entirely new to both schools and com-
munity. However, many thanks are due to those teachers
and members of the district who have heartily cooperated in
working for the good of the school. Some of the difficulties
have already been removed, and those which remain to
threaten the interests of the school must soon disappear under
the united efforts of an efficient school board, an interested
community and able teachers.
The results of working among children can be wrought
out only by the slow process of time. New plans and
methods must be pursued with care for a long period before
decision can be passed upon their success. Education and its
development are necessarily slow, and in passing judgment
upon the work of those who have the schools in charge this
fact must be kept constantly in mind.
ATTENDANCE.
A glance at the table of attendance for 1900-1901, will
convince any one that in this line there is chance for great im-
provement. Only one school has a per cent, of attendance
over ninety and the total tardiness is 686. Here is where the
26

parents can greatly assist the teachers. Place the school in
its true relation of importance to the child, teach the child
the first lessons of punctuality and regularity in school attend-
ance, then you will have done a great deal to secure the pres-
ent success of the schools and the future success of the child.
The teachers are doing much to make attendance what it
should be ; but their eftbrts cannot be fruitful of the best results
without the hearty cooperation of the parents.
TRUANT LAW,
Under the recent law of 1901, twenty-one employment cer-
tificates have been granted to children between the ages of
fourteen and sixteen years. By the provisions of the law, all
children between the ages of eight and fourteen must attend
school, and the school districts may make by-iaws, not repug-
nant to law concerning the attendance of children between
the ages of six and sixteen. As the average child is sufficiently
well developed to attend school when six years of age, the
district ought to make a by-law concerning the attendance of
children between the ages of six and eight. Most towns of
the state have already made such regulations, and compel the
children to attend at six years of age. The Union District of
Concord compels all children to attend at five years of age.
It might not be advisable in Penacook to fix attendance at
such an early period, but something ought to be done at once.
The majority of children between the ages of six and eight
are far better oft' in school than they are outside of the school-
room. A great deal might be said showing how great the
advantage to be obtained for both children and school by such
a regulation. It is hoped that the district will see fit to take
prompt action in regard to the matter.
PRIMARY SCHOOLS.
There ought to be an addition to our primarv schools, in
order to accommodate the large number of small children.
At present tlie first grade is very much overcrowded. This
addition might take the form of a sub-primary or kindergar-
ten.
SCHOOL kp:port. 403
Under present conditions the children come into the first
grade with little or no training, and several weeks of valuable
time must be spent in teaching them how to use their hands
and to become familiar with school customs. In this place
let me quote from the Hon. A. E. Winship, who savs in a
recent issue of the Journal of Ediication :
"• The right kind of a kindergarten aftects for great good
the child's whole school life. The primary school work in
any town is decidedly improved when it follows the kinder-
garten. Primary school work is in a better spirit, and the
child is in a vastly better mental attitude. No primary school
teacher can do reputable work with newcomers if she has
more than twenty-five children. All statistics demonstrate
that in towns and cities with no public kindergarten, about
forty per cent, of the primary children are required to do the
work of the first or second grade over, so that forty per cent,
of the primary schools must be charged up to the absence of
the kindergarten."
This shows that the establishment of a kindergarten would
not incur an appreciable extra expense to the district. It
seems to me that the time is ripe for the establishment of such
a school for the children, and that District No. 20 could only
be placed in the objectionable rank of those who are indifferent
to the progress of modern education should it longer delay
action in this direction.
IMPROVEMENT.
During the last summer vacation over two hundred dollars
were expended on improvements in the basement of the school
building. A new and improved svstem of sanitary water-
closets has taken the place of the old objectionable system.
New porcelain sinks have been placed in the basements, and
further improvements in piping have been made. In order
to drain the water from the steam pipes in the two north
rooms and facilitate the heating of those rooms, escape pipes
404 CITY OF CONCORD.
have been put in. These carry oft' the water and allow the
pipes to fill more rapidly with steam, thereby making it much
easier to gain the required temperature. Nodusto has been
applied to the floors of some of the rooms. This seems to
have made a great improvement in the air of the rooms, and
its use can, I believe, be continued to good advantage.
TEACHERS.
Unless the teaching force of a school acts as one harmo-
nious whole, the best results cannot be obtained. The work
of each teacher must supplement that of every other one. In
the modern educational s\stem no teacher is independent of
all others. They must work together, hand to hand, and it
is much better if they work in full sympathy for the fulfillment
of a noble purpose — that of making the world better by teach-
ing the children to become good citizens.
Thei-e have been several changes in the teaching force this
year. While it is always a misfortune to lose an experienced
teacher if his work is satisfactory, a new teacher often brings
new life, new methods, and new vigor into the school, and
sets in motion the thoughts of the other teachers.
Miss Bessie Kelley began work in the first grade at the
opening of the fall term. Miss Mary W. Smith took up the
work of the sixth and seventh grades early in the fall. At the
beginning of the winter term, ]Miss Bessie Rolfe entered upon
the work of the second grade in the place of Mrs. Hannah
Holden who was transferred to the third grade to take the
place of Miss Florence Chandler who resigned. Early in
the fall Miss Annie Chandler entered upon the duties of
music instructor. Miss Maria Carter and Miss Susan Pickard
are doing faithful work in the fourth and fifth grades
respectively.
Near the end of the fall term a\Ir. Gushce resigned and
Mr. B. J. Merriam was chosen to fill his place. Under Mr.
Merriam the school has shown marked improvement in
spirit and order. All belonging to the district should give
SCHOOL REPORT. 405
sympathy and as far as possible material aid to Mr. Merriam
in his earnest eflbrt to place the school on a higher
educational plane.
Great care should be used in the selection of teachers.
This is an age of trained labor. No untrained, unskilled
person can hope to take a front rank in his profession. The
skill which will assure success to the teacher may be obtained
through years of experience, the training school or normal
instruction. It may not be wise to make radical changes in
our present teaching force ; but as vacancies from time to
time occur, I would strongly recommend that candidates be
required to present a state certificate, or in place of that proof
of professional training or successful experience in other
schools.
The majority of our teachers have their homes in Penacook.
This is wise. All due consideration should be given to the
employment of home teachers when the working capacity of
the schools is not impaired thereby. No school can afford,
however, to have on its teaching force, simply because they
are home teachers, those who through lack of education,
training, or a sufficiently strong pei'sonality are emuiently
unfit to hold positions in the public schools.
When other conditions are equal it is right that preference
should be given to teachers who reside in town. Yet the
conditions can not be considered equal when the home
candidate does not present a certificate of qualification, while
candidates from elsewhere present certificates from training
schools and sometimes in addition the proof of successful
experience. Those who are looking forward to teaching in
the future should plan to train themselves for their work by
reading and study.
MUSIC AND DRAWING.
Early in the year the school district was very fortunate in
securing the services of Miss Annie Chandler as music
teacher. Under her supervision several new and progressive
features have been added to the music course. The third
and fifth books of the educational music series have been
406 CITY or COXCOKD.
introduced with success. The amount of money expended
on the department of music is by far inadequate to the
amount of work required and also to the amoimt of work
actually done.
The condition of the drawing in the schools is far from
what it should be. Perhaps the work might be somewhat
improved by the introduction of a series of books on the
subject. Such a course, however, seldom proves satisfactory.
Free-hand drawing is an art and only an artist can success-
fully teach it. In fact it is almost, if not quite, impossible for
a grade teacher to do sufficient work along this line. She
has not the time to spare and often lacks the talent required.
The best remedy for the present unsatisfactory condition of
the drawing in our schools is to employ a supervisor. This
can be done at very small expense and would add greatly to
the improvement of the schools.
TEXT-BOOKS AND SUPPI.IES.
At present all supplies are, according to law, furnished by
the school district. This especiallv in the[case of paper is a
matter of neatness and economy. In the fall the children
were buying their own tablets, wasting the paper and
throwing it about the schoolroom. Under the present
system the paper is furnished to the pupils at a much less
cost than they can possibly buv it, and the teachers oblige
them to he much more careful in the use of it.
A few new text-books have been introduced this vear.
Great care has been used to get only the best. Early in the
year VVentworth's Algebra was adopted in the ninth grade,
and later the fourth book of the Stepping Stone series of
readers was placed in the fifth grade and the Arnold primer
in the first grade. Mention has already been made of the
third and fifth book of the educational music series. Recently
the Lockwood and Emerson lessons in English have been,
placed in the ninth grade. The subject of arithmetic is now
inider consideration, and it is hoped that at the beginning of
another year a new arithmetic on the spiral plan may be
placed in the hands of the pupils of the lower grades at least.
SCHOOL REPORT. 407
SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS.
The overcrowded condition of the schoolhonse is a well-
known fact to all members of the school district. When
school opened in the f;ill Mr. Gnshee had four grades in his
room. This was a very unsatisfactory, overcrowded condi-
tion, and a remedy was immediately sought. It was thought
wise to establish a school in some outside building, but as it
was impossible to secure a suitable room, the plan failed.
Finally, at the suggestion of Mr. Oscar vSmith, the present
arrangement was decided upon. Seats were placed in the
hallway, and a part of the scholars removed from Mr. Gush-
ee's room. This arrangement, though the best that. could be
made, has been very unsatisfactory, and will be impossible
another year on account of the large in-coming sixth grade.
There are now eighteen in the sixth grade, six in the seventh
grade, fourteen in the eighth grade, and thirteen in the ninth
grade. This makes a total of fifty-one pupils in lour grades,
with two teachers, and very poor seating accommodations.
The estimate on the size of tlie same grades for next vear is
as follows: Forty-one in the sixth grade, fifteen in the sev-
enth grade, ten in the eighth grade, and fourteen in the ninth
grade. This makes a total of eighty pupils to be accommo-
dated where it has been very difficult to accommodate fifty-
one pupils.
The question arises, What can be done? The only answer
is, More room must be furnished. All the grades below the
sixth will have over fortv pupils, which is fully as large a
number as any room in the building ought to accommodate.
Great care should be used in planning for new accommoda-
tions. To build a new building that in a few years would
become inadequate in the matter of room accommodation,
would in the end cause much inconvenience, and certainly
pecuniary loss. The number of pupils is yearly increasing.
At present we have a sufficientlv large number of pupils to
fill two new rooms, and in a few years the number will
greatly increase. A building of four rooms would not in any
408 CITY OF CONCORD.
respect be an overestimate of the accommodation needed in
the near future. Moreover, I beHeve tliat such a building
should be so constructed as to admit of a large addition.
Great care should be used in the construction of new build-
ings. The arrangement of rooms, their general equipment,
heating, lighting, and ventilation, should be left in the hands
of those who are thoroughly familiar with the e\ervdav
requirements of the modern school.
Heating and ventilation are matters of great importance.
The best methods of heating and ventilation are none too
good for the schoolroom. To do the most effective work
children must be surrounded with the most favorable condi-
tions. In a crowded, overheated, poorlv ventilated room,
children become restless, their minds dull, and their work
unsatisfactory. Furthermore, poor ventilation is a constant
menace to the bodily health of the pupils. A perfect sani-
tary condition demands that each pupil shall be furnished
with two thousand cubic feet of pure air per hour. At pres-
ent the aveiage schoolroom in Fenacook has an air capacity
of about two hundred and ten cubic feet per pupil. This
would necessitate a change of air five times each hour. The
present methods are altogether ineftectual. In fact, as far as
can be ascertained, our schoolrooms have no ventilation what-
ever except by means of the doors and windows, which is a
most dangerous system. The children are constantly sufter-
ing from impure air, or are in danger of taking cold from
draughts of cold air. This matter should be attended to at
once, and prompt action should be taken bv the members of
the district, in whose charge the children reallv are.
IX CONCLUSION.
The aim of an educational system is not to simply fill the
mind of the pupil with a long list of dry, uninteresting facts,
but rather to develop in the pupil a power of mind which he
can use in his after life. Very few children remember what
they have learned from their books in the schoolroom, and
yet they have grown mentally, have formed habits of study
SCHOOL REPORT. 409
and thought, and have acquired force of character. Educa-
tors have been and still are studying to find and foster the nat-
ural development of the child's mind. It is with this end in
view that the old method of learning rules by number, and
wasting time and energy on the solution of problems far too
difficult for the capacity of the child's mind, has given place
to the brighter one of teaching nature, music, and drawing.
The same idea has led to the introduction of the kindergarten,
where the child's play is regulated and skillfully guided, so
that it may form a part of the training for the life-work. The
present methods of educational training tend to give the chil-
dren a bright and cheerful disposition, broad mental develop-
ment, and strength of character. To be sure, the present
system cannot be approved in full until it has stood the test
of time; yet it can be readily seen that the schools of to-day
show a conservation of school time, scientific methods of
teaching, and cultivation of the fine sensibilities of the child's
mind which have not been shown by any previous system.
Then it should be the object of our school systems to develop
in the children those qualities which will make them good
citizens. This I consider the ultimate aim of my work in
Penacook, and I seek from all interested in the schools hearty
cooperation.

is in the past. Success has been general. Our selection of
teachers has been eminently fortunate, and their work has
been thorough without exception. The teachers and school
board have been almost unanimously supported by parents
and residents of the district, though now and then we encoun-
ter one of those people whom nobody seems to please. For-
tunately such persons' influence is seldom felt beyond the
disadvantages they bring to their own families. Having
some acquaintance with schools in adjacent towns, we may
be pardoned for saying that ours compare favorably with
other rural schools in this section of the county. We give
below a concise report of each school in the district.
MiELviLLE School.
The spring and fall terms of the advanced grades were
taught by Miss Luella Marden, of Epsom, who gave perfect
satisfaction, and it was with many regrets that we accepted
her resignation. The winter term was taught by Mrs. Sarah
E. H. Clark, who is a lady of large experience. The excel-
lence of the school was fully maintained under her manage-
ment.
A.
MiLE\iLLE Primary.
The spring term was taught by Mrs. Sarah E. H. Clark.
Her work was fully appreciated, and was attended with
marked results. The fall and winter terms were taught by
Ethel M. Paige. This was Miss Paige's first school, but we
fail to see how her work could have been better done ; the
district should retain her.
A.

Iron Works School.
Miss Jennie C. Brown has taught this school for several
years. Fine scholarship is positive proof of Miss Brown's
ability and faithfulness as a teacher. Keep her in some of
our schools.
A.
Standish School.
This school was organized for the benefit of scholars near
Pembroke line, with Miss Lora L. Tarbell as teacher. This
was Miss Tarbell's first school, and the room in which she
taught was unsuitable. She succeeded just the same, and
won the respect of parents and the love of her scholars.
A.
Horse Hill School.
The spring and fall terms were taught by Miss Carrie E.
Foss, whose faithful service in the past has brought this
school to its present excellent standing in scholarship. Miss
Georgiana Webster, of Kingston, N. H., was employed for
the winter term, during which the school maintained its usual
high rank. The closing examination was notable for the
exhibition of some excellent spellers, among whom two young
girls showed remarkable proficiency for their years.
s.
Number Four School.
This school was in charge of Miss Mary F. Barnes for the
entire school year. Miss Barnes is a graduate of the Maine
State Normal School, and well equipped for the duties of her
position. Good progress was made in all branches taught,
and thoroughness was a prominent feature of her work. The
teacher, however, did not have the unanimous support of the
parents, which mav account in part for a very low per cent,
of attendance.
S.

Little Pond.
The three terms of the past year were taught by ISIiss
Georgia A. Foster. Though a difficult school in some
respects, the year's work has been successful. Miss Foster is
a teacher of experience whose faithfulness is seen in every
detail of school management.
S.
Borough School.
This is one of our larger schools, over thirty names appear-
ing on the register for the winter term. One of the obstacles
in the way of best results here, as in most of our schools, is
irregularity in attendance. Miss Hannah M. Stanyan has
taught this school during the past year. She is a successful
teacher, and has gained the respect of both parents and
scholars.
S.
Virgin School.
This is a very pleasant school, and has been under the care
of Miss Ida B. Sleeper, a teacher of experience, who is per-
fectly at liome iii the schoolroom. Good advancement was
made, and the school was one of profit. Great interest was
manifested at the closing examination, there being twenty-
five visitors present.
V.
TURTLETOWN vSCHOOL.
The summer term was taught by Miss Mabel Virgin ; the
fall and winter terms bv Miss Bessie E. Virgin. This is a
small school, there being but seven pupils enrolled. Good
interest was manifested. '
V.
Plains School.
This school has been under the instruction of Miss Mae E.
Morrill, of Amesbury, Mass., who has been a kind and useful
teacher, giving good satisfaction to both parents and pupils.
The names of ten scholars were enrolled.
V.
SCHOOL REPORT. 419
MouNTAix School.
Mr. S. L. French, a teacher of man} years' experience, has
had charge of this school for several successive terms. Good
discipline, tlioroughness, and attention to duties, were the
elements of success in this school. This is a school of twen-
ty-five scholars, but has been much broken up the past term
on account of sickness. There were over twentv visitors
pi^esent at the close, and much interest was manifested.
