Resources. All the resources in relation to stocks and bonds are taken as are individually given to the assessors under the law. It is stated that there are in this city, over $1,000,000 personally invested in western railroad stocks and bonds. Productions of the soil, $338,068; mechanical labor, $1,329, 500, clerical and professional busi- ness is estimated, at $924,000*; |
stocks and bonds, $224,000; money at interest, $180,180; deposits in savings banks, $1,170,580; stock in trade, $774,693.
Public Works. Water has been introduced into the city precinct, and pipes have been laid through nearly all the streets, with hy- drants placed at proper distances, to guard against fire. The water is taken from Pennacook Lake, lying about three miles north-west from the Capitol, and over one hundred feet above its foundation. The water of this pond has long been noted for its purity, and has the capacity to supply a city many times larger in population than Concord. These works have been put in vei'y substantially, and great attention has been given to have durable pipes, and of such material as not to impregnate the water with any mineral substance in the least. The whole expense is not far from $300,000. No city in the country stands better guard- ed against large, devastating fires, than Concord does to-day, with an abundance of water, and one of the most efficient fire departments to use it.
Sewerage. The city precinct has been surveyed, and an exten- sive plan of sewerage been draughted, which, when the plans are fully carried out, will give the city excellent drainage. Much of
tion, This includes clergymen, lawyers, phy- sicians, merchants, landlords, bankers, rail- road officials, clerks, book keepers, National, State, County, City officials, Ac., Ac., Doubt- less the cities and large towns have a larger per cent, than the average through the Stale. In this view of the foregoing facts, Concord, with scarcely any large cotton or woolen manufactories, and the capital of the State, must have at least 11 per cent, of its popula- tion, or 1540 persons, employed in the above vocations. |
