Villages. East Concord is loca-
ted across the Merrimack, about
two miles from the State House.
Here is a plaster mill, saw mill,
brick yard, belting and leather
hose manufactory, store, post office,
large, brick, graded school house,
•hurch edifice, and about sixty
dwellings. West Concord is about
two miles north-west from the
Capitol. There is a woolen mill,
kit factory, two stores, church,
school house, and about sixty
dwellings.

(For Fisherville, see Boscawen.)
Millville lies about two miles
west from the State House. St.
Paul’s School is located here,
and is now the absorbing inter-
est of the village. There is a mill,
and a number of fine dwelling
houses.

About one mile directly east of
the State House, across the Mer-
rimack, by the free bridge road,
and what is called the plain, has
been commenced a pretty village.
Within the past year, there have
been erected fifteen or twenty
dwelling houses, and a fine school
house. It bids fair to be quite an
auxiliary to the growth and
wealth of the city precinct.

Banks. There are seven banks
in the city, viz. First National
National State Capitol, National
Savings, New Hampshire Savings,
Merrimack County Savings, Loan
and Trust Savings in city precinct;
and Pennacook Savings Bank, at
Fisherville. Total capital in Na-
tional banks, $350,000; Total
amount deposited in the five sav-
ings banks, $3,381,081.21. (See
tables.)

Natural and acquired Resources.
As can be seen, the granite ledges
of Concord are a mine of wealth,
but at present the only resource is
the pay which the quarrymen get
for labor and the farmers realize
from the sale of the land where the
ledges are located. This is valua-
ble, but it would be better to have
the profit on the stone stop here in-
stead of going to Boston. The sup-
ply may be considered inexhausti-
ble, and will last for many gener-
ations yet to come.

It is stated by competent judges
that the water power in Concord
is valuable, and is excelled by but
few towns in the State in unim-
proved privileges. Sewall’s Falls,
in the Merrimack, are about three
miles from the State House. The
width of the river at this point is
