§3315 44
The above statement shows that besides paying the current expenses
of the year, there has been paid $10401 66 of the floating debt, and a
balance of means remaining sufficient to pay the remainder. This debt
at the commencement of the year, as shown above, including Goffstown
claim, was $22997 68. It has been growing ever since the establish-
ment of the city. A part of it is for annual interest, a part for the
unpaid balance of current expenses for different years, and a portion
has arisen from the annexation of Wards seven and eight.
In making up the appropriations for the past year, the Com. on Finance
bestowed upon this debt much careful reflection. That it ought in some
way to be paid, and not suffered to go on increasing from year to year,
was quite obvious ; but how to obtain the means, was the question. —
"Was it proper to add twenty-three thousand dollars to the funded debt
to pay claims which have grown up in this incidental manner ? The
Committee could see no good reason to justify such a course.
We do not propose here to discuss the question of making loans in
behalf of the city. When made to defray the expenses of permanent
improvements, or for objects that will reimburse the interest, they may
be very well. But to increase the annual taxes of future years with
the interest on loans made to pay up old scores, was thought to be of
9
questionable expediency ; and as time cannot change the aspect of thia
debt only for the worse, but will always present the same alternatives,
a loan or a tax — the Committee decided to apply the existing means to
this object, and raise the balance by tax. This has been done ; and had
the municipal year continued the usual time, the object would have been
successfully accomplished. As it is, we confidently hope that as the
means are provided, this debt will be speedily cancelled, and that a sim-
ilar one will not be allowed to creep again upon the city. And here the
Committee would suggest that the best safeguard against the recurrence
of eueh a debt, is the annual settlement of the tax list. Unless this is
done, even if this old debt is paid, the danger is that a new one will be
incurred. The lists for 1853, '54 and '55, have this year been adjusted,
and the collectable balances placed in the Treasures's office, and forms a
part of the means to pay the debt above referred to.

A large portion of the above losses were covered by insurance.
A Committee of the Board of Engineers consisting of R. D. Mooers
and 0. Hardy, examined a short time since, the various buildings
throughout the city, to ascertain whether the Rules and Regulations of
the department were properly observed.

Of these, 449 stoves and pipes were found in an unsafe condition, and
the owners and occupants were duly notified of the same.
In closing this report, it gives me pleasure to say, the Department
was never better diciplined than now. Each Company has the requi-
site number of men allowed by law, who are prompt and efficient in the
discharge of their duties as Firemen. The utmost harmony, so far as I
knew, exists among the dififerent branches of the Department, which
co-operate together so effectually at fires, as usually to subdue them at
101
once. This fact has been so marked on many occasions, as to elicit
praise from those who have had occasion to witness their labors.
Considering the arduous labors of the Department the past year,
which have been augmented by the large number of false alarms of
fire — and considering the increase ef the expenses of the Department
from year to year, from the same cause, — permit me to suggest for your
consideration, whether its present efficiency may not be retained, the
firemen be as satisfactorily remunerated, and the expenses, possibly, be
somewhat reduced, by changing the mode of paying the firemen, so as
to pay them wholly by the year — instead of, as now, in part by the
hour.
The impression has very generally prevailed among our citizens, that
there are some persons — young and inconsiderate — connected with the
Department, who, get up, not a few of these false alarms for the pur-
pose of increasing their gains. It will readily be perceived that one
such a member has it in his power to call out the whole Department at
any moment, and subject the city to expense. To obviate this evil, if
it really exists — and to render justice to the ninety-nine hundredth high
minded and efficient firemen who make up the Department, and would
frown upon the perpetrator of such an act as readily as any member of
your honorable Board — I would recommend that each fireman be paid
dollars per year, one half semi annually, for his services — the same
being duly awarded by the Board of Engineers, and approved by the
Mayor and Aldermen.
In conclusion, permit me to say that the duties of my office, as Chief,
have been rendered less arduous from the marked efficiency of the Assis-
tant Engineers, with whom it has been my pleasure and privilege to la-
bor so harmoniously, the past year.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
JOHN H. MAYNARD, Chief Engineer.

THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
TRUSTEES OF THE CITY LIBRARY.
To the City Council of the City of Manchester : —
In compliance with Article first of the ninth Section of the Rules and
Regulations of the Manchester City Library, the Trustees ask leave to
make their third Annual Report — in connection -with which is presented
that of the Librarian and Treasurer.
The circumstances of the past year have render;3d the duties of the
Board somewhat novel, if not difficult. Since the Special Report of Feb.
8th, the Library has been re-established, and all its affairs set in motion
anew.
Nothing coiild so well have shown the deep hold it had upon the
public favor, as the universal regret insj)ired by its destruction.
As soon after the fire as possible, the books in the hands of readers
were called in at the School Committee Room, and boxed up, until some
proper place should be found.
By the courtesy of the Young Men's Christian Association, our pa-
pers and periodicals were offered a place in its Rooms in Smyth's Block,
for the time being. With the use of the old Catalogue, and the aid of
David Hill, Esq., former Librarian of the Atheneum, a schedule of the
books lost, and the value of each, was made out and forwarded to ^t-
na Ins. Co., and at such time as their regulations permitted, the amount
of insurance was received. The manner of its disposition will be seen
from the annexed Reports.
Although the loss to the community is of a nature that can never
be fully repaired ; yet the Trustees would express the hope that the
present selection, made as it was from the Catalogues of the largest es-
tablishments in the country, will be found as well, if not better, adapted
to the popular tastes and requirements.
After much inquiry and search, the Trustees concluded to locate the Li-
brary and reading room in the Merchants' Exchange. These rooms,
though pleasant, were yet too inconvenient of access, and too small for
the increasing needs of the Library. The number of readers, while it
has not reached that of the old Library, is rapidly and steadily ap-
proaching it.
103
Not the least perplexing duty of the Trustees has been to select the
four thousand volumes now in the Library ; and the best part of a
month's time, such as could be snatched from other employments, was
devoted to that purpose. The first invoice of books arrived on the 15th
of April, and the whole were not received until the 3d of October.
With the necessary assistance, the Librarian was enal)led to cover,
number and catalogue the books under his care. A new catalogue has
been printed, containing an alphabetical list of authors, with their
works classified according to subjects.
The Trustees believe that for the sum expended, the increase of the
Library cannot fail to prove satisfactory to the public for whom they
hold it in trust.
The building, now nearly completed by Col. William Patten, on the
location heretofore occupied by the Library, being well adapted to such
purpose, the Library and Reading Room were removed thither on the
1st of January, 1857. The rooms are pleasant, easy of access, and suf-
ficiently large to meet our probable wants for some years.
It is perhaps needless at this time, to argue the utility of this Insti-
tution, but the Trustees confidently believe that no equal sum of the
city expenditure has been so well applied, or produced so useful a re-
turn.
Its influence on the young, and its facilities for affording information
and instruction to all classes, is unsurpassed by any agency of its cost.
While the Board would not advise anything to interfere with the most
rigid economy in city affairs, they would remind the government that
numerous and unavoidable expenses are still required to meet wants al-
ready unprovided for, in furnishing proper shelf room, in preparing and
printing supplementary catalogues, one of which will soon be required;
and in providing the Librarian with proper facilities for the discharge
of his duties.
The Board have procured the insurance of the Library for one year
for twenty-five hundred dollars, in the iEtna Insurance Co., and are of
opinion that an appropriation equal to that of last year, will meet the
wants of the coming year.

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.
Gentlemen of the Board of Trustees :- —
In compliance with your request, the Librarian would present his
third annual Report on the condition of the Library.
The whole number of persons who have complied with the regula-
tions for taking books since July 22, is eight hundred thirty-one, (831)
eleven of whom have made deposits, and the remainder furnished the
guaranties required. In one hundred and thirty days (130) during
which the Library has been open, eight thousand eight hundred and for-
ty-seven (88-47) books have been taken — an average of sixty-five (G5) a
day — which, considering the peculiar excitements of the time, is quite
as large a number as was to be exjDected, and the same as that of last
year.
The whole number of books now in the Library, as appears from the
record, is four thousand and ninety-one. (4091) Five. of this num-
ber appear at this time to be missing and uncharged.
The amount received for fines and sale of catalogues, is thirty-three
dollars and sixty-two cents. ($33 62)
The Lilirarian has caused the Library and Furniture to be removed
according to your dix'ections.
Donations of books and pamphlets have been made by the following
persons : —

county paupers, have died in this city ; and three of those carried to
the county farm have died there. Only one death has occun-ed at the
city alms-house, and that a pauper belonging to Dover, N. II.
