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.

8% per cent, of its popula-
