7 MAYOR'S ADDRESS. Gentlemen of the City Council : We are entering to-day on the thirtieth anniversary of the incorporation of our City; and amidst the various changes during this period, it would be well if we take note of our position and rank among the Municipalities of our State, and take prido that passing through the several vicissitudes of success and emharrassment, repeated over and over again, our people were never more prosperous, our City never more attractive than now. The early founders of this City are passing away, leaving an honorable monument to their wisdom, enterprise, and moral worth, that we who succeed them should imitate; and while doing so, let us not forget their patriotism, but emulate each other in loyalty and love of country, doing well the work transmitted by those early, thoughtful pioneer men. It may not be inappropriate to mention, while speaking of our City, that the first resident citizens who came to this then "Kenduskeag Plantation," were James Buzzell and family, in 17G9, who was followed by his father, Jacob Buzzell, and Caleb Goodwin, in 1770; and in 1771 by Thomas Howard, Simon Crosby, Jacob Dennett, John Smart and Hugh Smart, with their families, comprising all the population of this Plantation. In 1787, the Reverend Seth Noble came amongst these people, and was entrusted with the agency of procuring from the Legislature of Massachusetts an Act of incorporation for the town of "Sunbury," hut being displeased with the name, or it escaping his recollection, (as the historian informs us) and being passionately fond of a familiar church tune, when asked by the Legislative Committee what name should he inserted in the Act, he gave them "Bangor;" and we are here, to-day, gentlemen, almost at the close of a century since those early pioneers came to this section, in response to the call of our fellow-citizens, to administer a simple form of Municipal government. In accepting these trusts, in taking the oaths of our respective offices, in invoking Divine aid, we must not let it be an unmeaning service, but at the commencement of this Municipal year, let us promise ourselves to be faithful to the obligations assumed, that when we surrender them at its close wo may do so with a consciousness that we have tried to do our duty. We have entered upon the fourth year of a civil war which has loomed up in gigantic proportions; how long and how terrible the conflict we know

8 4 MAYOR'S ADDRESS. [1864. not; sufficient do wo know, that war, in its mildest form, is not to be coveted ; but returning peace, based on an eternal principle of justice and right, would be heralded with joy, and throughout our broad land, received with enthusiasm. Our duty is to work and labor for this consummation, doing cheerfully what the day and the hour demand. The year that has passed has been fraught with interest to our armies in the field, and our soldiers returning to their homes. Heroically and bravely have our "Maine Boys" done the work given them to do, as Port Hudson, Vicksburg, and other localities fully testify; and which a generous public appreciated on the return of the Second, Twenty-second and Twenty-sixth Regiments to the City, while the decimated ranks of each told its own sad story. The several calls upon us during the year, have been met with that promptness which is commendable in our people. Thus far in the prosecution of the war, our City has furnished about thirteen hundred men to the Army and Navy, as will appear'by the report of the Adjutant General, soon to be published. During the year just passed, three separate calls have been made upon us for soldiers two for volunteers, one by draft the whole for five hundred thousand men. The call of October 17th, with the one of February 1st, produced three hundred and five volunteers; the draft of July 7th furnished, Men who entered the service, 20 " furnished substitutes, 66 " paid commutation, " deserted, 6 Another call for two hundred thousand is upon us, and our quota is about one hundred. How our account stands at Head Quarters, we are at this moment unable to say, as the several enlistments for the Army and Navy arc not yet compiled, but soon will be furnished by the proper authorities. To meet the demand made upon us, it requires money, and to obtain it, we resort to taxation; the demands will be large, the wants pressing, and while our people are ready to meet the one and supply the other, our duty as custodians of the Treasury is to watch carefully that no waste of the hard earnings of our people is allowed, and no extravagance, however tempting or plausible, be permitted. Already at the threshold, we are warned of an increase of National and State taxes, while our past experience, with our future prospects, indicate the coming wants of our City. Let me urge upon you the importance of frugality in your expenditures, while your appropriations are made for the actual wants of the City, keeping the one strictly within the limits of the other. FINANCES. The demands upon the Treasury during the year; required a permanent loan, and this was effected, on a series of years, for the amount of $64,000, at an interest of six per cent.; this was principally taken by our citizens at a premium, which argues well for the credit of our City, This loan was made to pay the bounties to soldiers, and also to liquidate what has been called for several years a temporary loan of $13,000. Four- 104

9 1864.] CITY OP BANGOR. 5 teen thousand dollars of the loan was wisely made on one year, the maturity of which will necessitate the placing of it in the present year's taxes. Falling due permanent loan, $14,000 As also for grading Front Street, 3,000 Bounties to twenty drafted men who have entered the service, $200 each, 4,000 In all, $21,000 Prudence and wisdom seem to intimate to our successors that from year to year a portion of this indebtedness should be liquidated, that posterity may not be too much embarrassed by the expenditures of preceding generations. "Pay as you go," holds good in Municipal as individual affairs, and I cannot but hope this is the judgment of you all. TREASURY. The Treasurer and Collector's Eeport, which will be before you, discloses the gratifying fact of the promptness of our citizens in meeting the calls made upon them, and in as clear a manner as possible, gives us the present financial condition of our City. The Appropriations and Expenditures for the past year, are as follows: Appropriations. Expenditures. Highway, $, $, School, 17, , Pauper, 7, , Salary, 10, , Contingent, 17, , Fire, 0, , Interest, 11, , $81, $81, Balance overdrawn, $81, $81, The actual Expenditures thus far during the year, for war purposes, are as follows: Bounties paid 236 volunteers, $200 each, $47, Recruiting, and buildings for same, 1, Reception of 2d, 22d, and 26th Regiments, Salary of State Aid Agent, State Aid furnished families, 20, The item of State aid will bo repaid us as soon as the Legislature and the Governor and Council approve. The bill is before them, and I do not know of any objection being made. The Agent, with the Committee who have it in charge, has endeavored to confine it to the meaning of the law. Whether this mode of disbursing is to bo continued, is a matter entirely within the province of your legislation; sufficient for me to say that this Disbursing Officer has been faithful to his charge. The Collector's books for the past six years show us that there has been committed for his collections of State, County and City taxes, the large sum of $026,890 45, all of which has been collected but $27, and this includes the balance of last year and is so entirely satisfactory, that I could

10 6 MAYOR'S ADDRESS. [1864. not omit its mention as a proof of the industry and perseverance of this officer. The books of your Treasurer and Collector have been examined by the Committee on whom it devolves, and by their report made to the Government, found correctly cast and vouched. To the Reports recently made, I refer you for examination. The Permanent Debt of the City is now $234,000; the total value of the Real Estate belonging; to the City in all the departments is about $150,000; and of Personal Estate about $30,000. The Valuation of the City, for the past year, was : Real, $4,275,753 Personal, 2,433,409 $6,709,162 Should the General Government reimburse us for bounties paid to soldiers, and the State reimburse for what has been paid as State Aid, our financial condition as a City will not be in a very bad way. Several unsettled claims have been adjusted during the year, both for the interest of the City, and to the satisfaction of parties interested, so that at this moment there is nothing due other than the uncollected taxes which have been already alluded to. To place in the Treasury what is now of no income to the City, and at the same time induce capitalists to improve what is now unproductive property, and can never be of value to the City for its wants, I would recommend the sale of the so-called "Old Burying Lot" and School House Lot on Main and Emerson Streets, containing about seventy thousand feet of land ; also the lot at the junction of Hammond and Court Streets, that permanent taxable property may bo held by our citizens, and unproductive property disposed of by the City. SCHOOLS. Among the first matters that demand your attention, are the Schools, the character and usefulness of which it is not my purpose to mention, as the former is so familiar, and the praise of which is so general, while the latter is so obvious to the healthy growth of a City that no words of mine in this connection would be in place. Under the admirable care and attention of the Superintendent, with the general oversight of the Committee, this department never was in better order. The property of the Schools is well cared for, while under a corps of acceptable Teachers, the whole appears to bo in good condition. "Whole number of different Teachers employed during the year, 85 Male Teachers, 6 Female " 79 As Principals, 70 As Assistants, 15 Summer Term Scholars, 3,G39 Average, 3,017 Winter " " 3,861 " 2,981 The only drawback to these general remarks, is in the small number in attendance at the High School for Boys, and that of the Apprentices' School during the Winter. The gradual falling off in attendance on these Schools is rather a parental than an official matter. I would particularly call your attention to the fact,

11 1864.] CITY OK BANGOR. 7 hoping that through this channel those who are now more closely connected should see to it that this branch of our munificence should not wane by any neglect of theirs. Referring you more particularly to the Report of the Committee who have these matters in charge, I would again urge the importance of a "Military Drill," among the lads, as a healthful, manly exercise, conducive alike to the moral as well as physical growth of our youth, and promotive of a graceful, easy carriage. HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT. The Annual Report of your Commissioner gives us the information that notwithstanding the advanced price of labor, with the extreme prices of all kinds of materials which enter into the consumption and use of this Department, ho has been enabled to keep his expenditures nearly within the appropriation. The roads, streets and sidewalks constantly demand repairs. When the time arrives that some system of macadamizing may be commenced within the limits of the City, a cheaper and more comfortable travelled street will be obtained. The Commissioner informs us that the bridge at Merrill's Mills is unsafe, and will have to bo rebuilt, as well as some smaller ones; that the sewers on State and Main Streets will need to be examined, and possibly rebuilt; that many of our principal streets are in bad condition, and need early and somewhat extensive repairs. These, with those ordered to be done the last year, will require your prompt attention. It is poor economy to suffer our highways to be neglected, not only for the convenience of the traveller, but also for the safety and comfort of all. No accidents have occurred during the year which will call for litigation, by any neglect of this Department and our care should be to avoid all possible chance for any complaint. I refer you to his Report for particulars, and the general character of the Department. PAUPER DEPARTMENT. The appropriation last year for this Department, of $"000, has an unexpended balance of $1, This is partly owing to the mildness of the Winter, to the disbursing of State Aid among many of our citizens, together with the admirable manner in which the Overseers and Superintendent of the Alms House have discharged their duties. The statistics of the Report made by the Overseers give us as follows, for the year: Alms House Whole number admitted during the year, 109 Number at commencement of the year, 51 Males, 04. Females 66 Discharged, 93 Absconded, 5 Died, 6 In Insane Hospital, 1 Remaining C0

Discharged during the year, 22 Absconded, r, Died, 1 To the Alms House, 2 Remaining, 1(J Whole number admitted during t he year 13 Males, 0. Females, 7. Discharged, 4 Absconded, 2 Remaining, 7 13 Intemperance, that fruitful source of so much misery, is the leading cause of the commitments made to these several departments. How long and how much the community arc to sutler by this growing evil in our midst, is a question easier asked than answered. Among the causes producing it is the war with its excitement and its surroundings. Let me urge upon the authorities the importance of doing something towards staying its progress, that another year may disclose a clear record in the departments whose duties are imperative and whose obligations are binding. However much inclined so to do, unless sustained by a determined public sentiment, the officers of the law can do but little in rolling back the tide or stemming the current of this terrible evil. Personal private example is needed. "While a healthy public sentiment will do much in facilitating this cause, without it, the laws will bo a dead letter on our statute books. The serious illness of the keeper of our Alms House during these many months, has somewhat embarrassed the Overseers, but a returning Spring, with more favorable features in his case, promises returning health. Under his excellent management the care and supervision of the establishment has been good, and with some general improvements in the mode of heating the buildings, together with the building of a reservoir for its safety and convenience, not much of an expenditure will bo required. Your attention is particularly called to these items as a matter of comfort and economy, for during the severity of our "Winters the inmates of the Hospital are barely comfortable, while it is costing too much for what we get. A Committee should be appointed whose duty it should bo to visit similar institutions, and obtain plans for the most improved method of warming and cooking. This was alluded to in my last Annual Address, as also the building of a reservoir and I would urge upon you again the importance of these suggestions, and would also refer you to the Report of the Overseers for the particulars of this department, as also to the City Physician's. FIRE DEPARTMENT. This Department is under good management, and it is now so well systematized that it requires but little care outside its own organization. Since the introduction of steam, the loss by fire has been materially lessened, and 41 41

13 1864.] CITY OF BANGOR. 9 when we can afford another Steam Fire Engine, to bo at all times ready, should the one in use be by accident or otherwise injured, our City would be saved, perhaps, from a general conflagration. I would submit it for your consideration. There will be needed during the year, a new brick Reservoir to take the place of the old wooden one in front of Wood & Bishop's; the present one is unsafe and dangerous and your particular attention is called to its condition and wants. Other than this, no extraordinary expenditure is needed, excepting for one Hose Carriage. The expenditure for the year has been nearly within the limits of its appropriation, and would not have exceeded it, but for the purchase of horses for the use of the Steamer. The several Companies in this Department are full, while the utmost harmony prevails among them all. The whole number of fires during the year has been, 23 False alarms, 8 Estimated losses by fire, $15,650 Amount insured, 10,250 Uninsured, $5,400 By the law of the State, the care and the licensing of sale of gunpowder is under the supervision of the Chief Engineer. I would call your attention to the condition and site of the Powder House, as it is now in a dilapidated condition, and on leased land, and should be rebuilt in a more convenient situation on the City Farm. CITY SOLICITOR. This officer reports to the Government that the several cases on and reported for trial, have been disposed of, with the exception of one of Samuel Veazie vs. City, which has been so long before our Courts, the history of which is familiar to you all; and that of Henry Q. Norton in both of which demands have been made for now trials, one by the plaintiffs, the other by the defendant. What will be the judgment of the Court in these matters, your Solicitor cannot guess, but I can assure you this officer has been unremitting in his duties and untiring in his labors for the interest of his client, and cannot but doubt the right in these matters will at length prevail. There has been no new case of litigation during the year and our care should be to avoid all suits as much as possible, at the same time to see to it the legal rights of our City are maintained. To this Eeport I refer you for all particulars in this Department. CITY MARSHAL. This officer, in his Annual Report gives us the statistics of his Department, and by it we learn something of what is done by the Police of the City. Number of arrests during the year, 772 For Drunkenness, 464 Number of cases prosecuted, 2 Number of cases discharged, 493 Without prosecution, Amount of fees paid into the City Treasury, $1, " " " County Treasury 1,

14 10 MAYOR'S ADDRESS, [1864. This Department has been as well managed as in former years, and under the new Ordinance establishing " Day and Night Police," the system on the whole works well. Commending this perplexing Department to your favorable consideration, and to the Report of the Marshal for such information as may be of interest, it will be your duty, as your pleasure, to co-operate with this officer in maintaining the order and peace of our City. CITY PHYSICIAN. This officer gives us the usual information and Ms suggestions relating to the Pauper Department, the suitable warming of the Alms House, the particular care and attention to infectious diseases, are worthy your attention, and demand your care. My experience during the past year is such as to warrant me in suggesting the election of a Board of Health, instead of one Health Officer, who shall have the whole charge, under the Ordinances of the City, of its sanitary affairs, and I commend it to your consideration. MAINE CENTRAL RAILROAD. In my communication made at my last inauguration, assurances weregiven that the liabilities of this Corporation then maturing, would be liquidated and I am pleased to say that the amount due in April last, $20,000 with coupons attached, has all been paid, and that the now flourishing Corporation will be ready to meet those falling due in April next. A settlement having been effected with this Company for what was owing the City, of many years standing, the prospect is that the City, in its corporate capacity will be no loser by the loan of its credit, while our people who travel will enjoy a first class road, and the facilities for business be multiplied. HARBOR MASTER. By the Report of this officer, the business of our City in its commercial and maritime interests, is disclosed. The arrivals and clearances of different vessels at this port, during the year, have been seven hundred and eightyfive. Fees collected, $785 $50 of which has been paid into the City Treasury for the purpose of clearing the obstructions in Kenduskeag Stream. If from year to year a like sum should be received from the same source, and expended, this Stream would afford a safer harbor for our vessels. The imports and exports to and from our City, do not vary much from year to year, excepting that of potatoes. This article is fast becoming a matter of interest to ourselves, while for the surrounding country it is of much value to our farmers. To his Beport for general statistics, I will refer you as a matter of information and interest. CEMETERY BOARD. The Beport of this Board, which will be before you, is somewhat of interest, as all such reports are. The statistical portion tells us that during the year there have been interred in the several Cemeteries, as follows : Public Mount Hope Cemetery, 92 Pine Grove " 8 Levant Boad " 9 Pushaw ' 5 Private Mount Hope " 109 Mount Pleasant "

15 1964.] CITY OF BANG0R. 11 The number of deaths in the City during the year, was three hundred and six. Number of remains carried out of the City during the year, fortyfour. Number brought into the City, forty-five. The "Soldiers' Monument Association" have selected a large and convenient spot at Mount Hope Cemetery, where the remains of some of our deceased soldiers will be placed, and in the early Summer a monument with the inscription, "In Memory of our Citizen Soldiers who have died for their Country," will be erected, and I have no doubt, with such ceremonies as will be an honor to those thoughtful men who projected it. CITY AGENCY. The officer who has charge of this Department submits his Annual Report, and by it we learn of the increase of business at this Agency. During the year the Liquors which have been in suit so long, have been condemned, and they have been by the Mayor and Aldermen placed in the City Store. The estimated value of these Liquors was $2,662 20, and was charged to the Agency. After settling his account, with all the expenses and his salary, the profits of the Agency during the year have been $2, It is difficult in this business to confine the sales strictly within the meaning of the law, but this officer endeavors in the discharge of his duty to be faithful; and so long as the Agency is legalized, I do not see that its management can be in better hands. TREES. During the past year, a gentleman of leisure and of taste in the adornments of our City, ascertained by count, that outside of the fences and within the City limits, more than four thousand shade trees have been planted by our citizens. These trees need care and attention, and after many years need pruning. The Council of last year made an appropriation; a Forester was appointed, and under his care a portion on the East side were attended to. This should be followed up from year to year, until they all receive that attention they deserve; and I would recommend it to your favor, as also the adorning of Centre Park and such other localities as in your wisdom may be deemed expedient. CITY ORDINANCES. The City Council the past year appointed Commissioners to revise and codify the Ordinances of our City, and they are now attending to this duty. Soon they will be in order for your examination and when accepted will be in readiness for publication. EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN RAILWAY. This Corporation, so long without life or animation, has at last, under the fostering care of its patron, John A. Poor, Esq., begun to give unmistakable signs of a permanent existence, and if by any means within the limits of your legislative action, you can aid its furtherance, sure I am, considering its importance to the interests of our City, you will do all you can in its behalf. So far as the City is concerned, all has been done that has been asked, in promoting this improvement. Most liberally have the City Government met the request of the Corporation and generously yielded to their requests, and now when the season opens, the appearances are that this long talked of project will be commenced.

16 MAYOR'S ADDRESS. [1864. To complete the work so long desired and so important to the interests of our City and State, we can but trust such aid will he granted by the State and General Governments as is commensurate with this grand undertaking in pushing to our frontier this link in the chain of communication with our Provincial neighbors, and opening into our upper country such facilities as will be mutually advantageous to all sections, Never was there a time in the history of this Road when the public mind was so intent and determined on its commencement and completion; and never such unanimity in the State and Provinces as now. Our duty is to improve this favorable moment, bending all our energies to the task. The Commissioners who were appointed to visit the Provinces, have attended most faithfully to their duty, bringing us most cheering accounts of their mission, and will in a more public manner than through the medium of this Address, give an account of their stewardship. In the construction of this Road from the Maine Central Depot through our City, it will be necessary to cross with a bridge the Kenduskeag Stream. This cannot be avoided, if we would. The necessity is upon us, and those of our citizens who are incommoded by this obstruction, may avail themselves of a charter already granted for the purpose of making a "Wet Dock," that vessels at all times may lie afloat who choose to enter the Stream. In my judgment the project will more than compensate the inconvenience of a passage through the bridge, and add very much to the safety of vessels and cargoes, while it would give a character to our harbor, which of late years, on account of obstructions in the bed of the Stream, has been doubtful. Gentlemen of the City Council: In as brief a manner as possible, I have presented the affairs of our City as I understand them, with the needs and wants of the several Departments for the coming Municipal year. Your duty is to examine each for yourselves, carefully scrutinizing all, and in your appropriations and expenditures to be sure that the several Departments (unless for extraordinary reasons) be kept within their several supplies. Allowing mo to congratulate you, at the close of this already too lengthy Address, on the success of the cause of the Union throughout the country, as has been manifested at the polls. Let us hope that ere another convocation on an occasion like this, our Armies and Navies, sustained at home by a generous loyal sentiment, will finally succeed in crushing out, once and forever, this terrible Rebellion which is now ravaging and despoiling our once peaceful land. SAMUEL H. DALE.

26 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDING SCHOOL COMMITTEE. To the City Council: The Superintending School Committee of Bangor, have the honor to submit the following Annual Eeport. At the commencement of the school year, Charles P. Eoberts, Esquire, was elected by this Board as Superintendent of Schools. He has, during the year, assiduously and faithfully devoted himself to promoting the interests of the School Department visiting the schools, attending to the various calls of teachers and pupils, and protecting and keeping in repair the houses and other property of the Department. We respectfully ask the attention of the City Council to the accompanying Eeport of the Superintendent, and the various statements and recommendations therein contained. "We append to this Eeport the usual Tabular View, which presents a concise statement of the number and grade of the schools, the length of the terms, the names of the teachers, their annual or weekly wages, and the whole and average number of scholars attending the several schools. Town & Holbrook's Progressive Series of Eeaders have been used as text-books in our schools for several years, and have given very general satisfaction. "We have during the past year, by a formal vote of the Committee, established this Series as the Reading Books to be used in our schools. We have also established Colton's Physical Geography as the uniform series of text-books in that science, to be used in our Select Schools. And in place of Mitchell's Geography, we have introduced Colton & Fitch's Modern School Geography. So far as these acts of the Committee have occasioned any changes in the text-books actually used in our schools, such changes have been effected at slight cost to the pupils. This statement to the City Council, of our acts in relation to the introduction and establishment of series of text-books, we regard as the " due notice " required by the Act of the Legislature, relating to Common Schools, of March 15th, 1862.

27 1864.] CITY OF BANGOR. 23 The Intermediate and Primary Schools in the City proper, have been thirty-four weeks in length; the High, Select and Grammar Schools, thirtysix weeks. In the Suburban Schools there have been a Summer and a Winter term, as usual, except in the Mount Hope District, where there has been only one term. During the past "Winter term the Suburban Schools have all been taught by female teachers, and for the most part with very good success. Some of the larger of these schools have occasionally been under the charge of male teachers, but we doubt whether they ever attained more satisfactory results than they have whon taught by competent females. The High School for Girls has continued under the direction of Mr. Robert P. Bucknam, who was assisted during the first term by Miss H. M. Thurston, and during the last term by Miss L. M. Farnham and Miss M. G. Samson, the latter giving her attention chiefly to teaching the French language. This school has been in all respects highly successful. Both teachers and scholars have been diligent and faithful in the performance of their respective duties. We think that the recitations and exercises of the various classes demonstrated to the many friends of the school who were present during the examination, that this school in all respects stands as high as at any former time. Diplomas were conferred upon the members of the graduating class. The High School for Boys has continued under the instruction of Mr. F. E. Tower and Miss S. M. Hallowell. These teachers are both of them competent, thorough and faithful; and the scholars have made excellent progress under their care during the past year. It was manifest at the examination that the pupils had been thoroughly taught, and had critically studied all the various branches they had pursued. Two members of this school, having completed the prescribed course, received the usual Diplomas. The number of scholars in this school has for several years past been quite small, but we think never smaller than this year. This is in no respect on account of fault in the teachers, but may perhaps be owing to the extraordinary calls of business and the industrial pursuits, which were never louder than now. The Select School for Girls, No. 1, has continued in charge of Mr. J. E. Littlefield, as Principal, and Miss H. R. Fox, Assistant. Mr. Littlefield has for many years untiringly devoted himself to the instruction of this school. He has long been a successful teacher, as the condition of this school has ever attested. It is sufficient praise of this school to say that it continues to maintain its former high character. The attendance was very large at the examination, and all the exercises very satisfactory. Miss D. B. Hersey has continued to instruct the other Select School for Girls. Her number of scholars is much smaller than in Mr. Littlefield's school, but yet is large enough to tax to the utmost the energies of a single teacher. In consequence of the illness of Miss Hersey, there was no public examination this year. This school holds a rank second to none in the City and its progress the past year has been in all respects satisfactory.

28 24 REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE. [1864. The Select School for Boys, on Prospect Street, has remained under the instruction of Mr. Pease, who has been assisted by Miss H. M. Seavey and Miss M. F. Seavey. Mr. Pease is an efficient, energetic and thorough instructor, and he has had much experience in teaching. His number of scholars has been large. It was evident from the appearance of the school at examination, that the instructors had been faithful, and that the classes had made excellent progress. The two Grammar Schools for Girls, in Abbot Square, one of them taught by Miss M. E. Costellow, assisted by Miss Barker, and the other by Miss W. A. Burr, are among the very best schools of the City. In fact, we have no better teachers than Miss Costellow and Miss Burr. These schools have both of them maintained their former high reputation. It is sufficient praise of either of these schools, to say that it is as good as the other. The Girls' Grammar School on Union Square has been instructed by Miss M. J. McLaughlin, and has made very satisfactory progress. It has long ranked among our very good schools, but it has never, we think, succeeded better than during the past year. The Boys' Grammar School on Pond Street has been continued under the instruction of Mrs. E. 0. Bartlett, who has long been an approved teacher. We think wc cannot speak in too high terms of the success of this school. The instruction has been very thorough, and it was evident at the examination that the pupils had been taught to master the studies they had been over. Mrs. Bartlett has been assisted by Miss H. F. Bartlett. The Boys' Grammar Schools, taught, one of them, by Mr. J. H. Stuart, assisted by Mrs. E. D. Bartlett, and the other by Miss M. Lymburner, have made commendable progress during the year. "We are satisfied that the teachers of these schools have labored earnestly to promote the interest of their pupils. The Intermediate and Primary Schools we do not propose to notice in detail. The most of them have been well conducted, and some of them have been eminently successful. A large proportion of the teachers of these schools have labored with great assiduity, and the result of their efforts has been very manifest in the excellent appearance of their classes at examination. No school is likely to make much progress where there is a lack of effort and faithfulness on the part of the teacher; and especially is this the case in these grades of schools where the scholars are young, and cannot be expected to advance except as they are led by their teachers. Hence the special importance of placing these schools under the charge of competent and conscientious instructors. We think that some of the teachers, particularly in these grades, have confined their pupils too strictly in their recitations to the forms of the questions and answers as laid down in the text-books, so that the chief effort of the scholars, in too many cases, has been to commit and repeat the language of the book, thus cultivating the memory merely, without obtaining any thorough knowledge or idea of the subject studied. The fault we refer to is most likely to obtain in these lower grades of schools, where the pupils are young, and of course think and reflect but little. This should be carefully guarded against by teachers. "We do not discourage studying, com-

29 1864.] CITY OP BANGOR. 23 mitting and repeating lessons as they are laid down in the text-books, but teachers should see to it that their scholars also understand the science they are pursuing that they obtain intelligent ideas, as well as mere forms and words. The Apprentices' School has been taught the past Winter by Mr. G. A. Snow. This school has been much smaller the past term than for several previous years. It was originally established for the accommodation of Apprentices, who generally cannot attend school more than one term in the year. During the past term tho number of Apprentices attending has been small the balance of the school being made up of persons who for one reason or another have never been members, or who have ceased to be members of other schools, and very many of whom, we regret so say, seem io have no interest in acquiring an education. We think the teacher, the past Winter, endeavored faithfully to perform his duties, and improve the condition of the school, as far as he had it in his power to do so. A few of the scholars manifested a desire to do what they could to make the school successful, and to progress in their studies; but we think the majority had little or no disposition to derive any advantage from the school. This school has therefore resulted in a partial failure. It may be a question whether it is expedient to continue this school in the future. The present and former Committees have frequently had occasion to call the attention of teachers to the subject of Reading. This is a branch which is taught in all the schools, but which is too apt to be regarded of m'.nor importance, both by teachers and scholars. Good Reading is an accomplishment that deserves to bo reckoned among the fine arts. It is the art of expression by means of the finest of all instruments the human voice. Music itself is not capable of affording so high enjoyment as comes from the fit and forceful rendering of tho best things in literature by the cultivated reader. We do not suppose that in this, any more than in other branches of education, culture can secure tho same results with or without Nature's help. The construction of the vocal organs, the degree of natural understanding, perception, judgment and taste, will occasion wide diversities in the success of those who have been trained by the same example and care. But we desire that in all our schools, from the lowest to the highest grade, this branch of study and practice should not be reckoned non-essential nor secondary. To those among our pupils who are to become public speakers, it is needless to say how important is the attainment of a style of utterance, distinct, natural, animated and answering in variety of tone, inflection and emphasis, the needs of the sentiment and occasion. The Word of God itself loses its life in passing through the lips of a careless, droning, or monotonous reader. It is in the power of a reader who feels the work worth doing, and knows how so-do it, to engage the attention and the solemn or eager interest of any audience, by tho mere reading of the most familiar chapter of the Bible. But what an entertainment how full of interest and profit, have we hero for tho home and the social circle! Books old and new, in prose and verse, are not wanting. But what an added zest would the choicest among them give, if, instead of being perused in silence, they could borrow the tones of a living voice and the power of a living spirit rightly to interpret them. 4

30 26 REPORT 01? THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE. [1864. Wo heard at some of the late examinations, readings that would have done credit to those who have made the art a special calling for themselves. In other cases we had to regret that too little care had been expended by teachers or pupils, or both, in this direction. The greatest peril, perhaps, is at tho two extremes the schools of lowest and of highest grade. If the pupil in the Primary Department learns only to utter words, without perceiving and feeling the ideas which they contain, so that his reading is mechanical, not natural, he will have afterwards not only to learn new habits, but be broken of bad ones already learned. If the classical and mathematical studies of tho advanced schools are not watched, they will assert such superiority to this, that it will languish for lack of time and effort. We shall rejoice to see our teachers endeavoring to improve their own attainments (already high in some instances) by the study of books and examples sure that with living illustrations in tho chair of the schoolroom, their reflection will fall upon the desks. The amount appropriated by the City Council for the pay of this Board, was $850. Wo havo applied $700 of this to pay the salary of the Superintendent. For a full and particular statement of tho Finances of the School Department, as well as many other matters of interest, we respectfully refer you to the accompanying Report of the Superintendent. In concluding our Report, we think we may congratulate the City Council upon the prosperous condition of our Schools. Many of our teachers possess rare qualifications for the positions they fill, and nearly all of them havo labored with great zeal and patience in the performance of their duties, and the result of these faithful services of our teachers is apparent in the satisfactory progress made by the scholars.

31 REPORT OP THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS. To the Superintending School Committee: GENTLEMEN At the commencement of the school year, estimates were made of the necessary expenditures, involving a restoration of the salaries of teachers, which were cut down the previous year; increasing somewhat the weekly wages of female teachers; and to cover the other items of fuel and repairs which were enhanced in price over the year previous. The amount to be derived from the Bank Tax was then in doubt, as it was supposed that a portion of this would he diverted to the U. S. Internal Revenue. Fortunately, however, this did not prove to bo the case the present year. The appropriation made was, $17, Bank Tax, 2, Total, $19, The Expenditures have been, 19,3 25 Balance unexpended, $ A more particular classification of Expenditures is as follows: Compensation of Teachers, $15, Extraordinary Repairs, Ordinary Repairs Fuel, 1, Preparing and housing same, Books and Stationery, Fires, Sweeping and Cleaning, 105 Brooms, Brushes, Pails, Dippers, &c, Girls' High School Incidental:., Ornamental Trees, Miscellaneous, 7 44 Lact Year's Bills, ,3 26

32 28 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OP SCHOOLS. [1864. TEACHERS' SALARIES. The amount paid to teachers the past year, exceeds that of the previous year by.^1,71.") 80. The instructive force in the schools has been increased during the year, by an assistant in the Boys' Select School, an assistant in French in the Girls' High School, and partial assistants in the Hancock Street and Union Street Primary Schools. Deducting their wages, (S420 GO) and we have?1, actual increase in the compensation of teachers, over the j previous year. And yet the amount of teachers' salaries this year is below the average of the six years preceding last year. At the beginning of the year, in accordance with the recommendation of last year's Board and the claims of common justice, the wages of teachers which were reduced ten per cent, last year, were re-tored, and, in a few instances, an increase made above that. The wages of all female teachers were increased twenty-live cents per week, and, in a few instances, more than this. Near the close of the year a further addition of twenty-five cents per week was made to the wages of female teachers generally. No reduction in the present amount paid can reasonably be expected; and the increa.-ing high rates of the Decenaries of life, may justify an increase. The sum now required for the maintenance of our public schools is large. Lest it may be supposed that we outstrip other cities in this expenditure, I will merely cite the Reports of two cities, for the past year, which happen to be before me. The city of Lawrence, which is about the same size as Bangor, but which, owing to the maintenance of separate Romanist schools, embracing a thousand pupils, has less than two-thirds as many pupils as Bangor in its public schools, expended 8-4, Of this, $19,-J21 09 were for tuition exceeding by about S-300 the whole amount of our school expenditures. Koxbury, a city fifty per cent, larger than Bangor, expended S17,0:;4 02, or nearly one hundred and fifty percent, more than Bangor. I do not cite these cases to stimulate to increased expenditures, but rather to demonstrate that, in comparison with others, our expenditure is snug and economical. Indeed, we may consider ourselves fortunate in our school system, at the price paid for it. EXTRAORDINARY REPAIRS. The wood-room in Miss Thayer's York Street Primary School, has been made into a clas. room. This was imperatively needed, and recommended by last year's Board. A neat and convenient room has thus been obtained for the use of the Assistant in this school. The out-building attached to the rear of the Spring Street school-house, which iviii always regarded as an offence to the public sense, has been removed to an unexposed position, and so arranged that a public nuisance has been abated, and a very desirable improvement effected. A wood-house has been erected in the Bagley District. The school-house in this District is constructed with two entrances to the school-room from the main entry. This arrangement, by discarding a wood-room, or classroom, rendered some other convenience for wood necessary. The school-house lot on Centre Street, which has been open since the house wa- built, lias been enclosed with a neat and substantial fence, which bids fair to be as durable as a suisciency and skillful combination of iron, granite

33 18G4.] CITY OP BAN30R. 29 and wood can secure. The stone feet are large, and hut about eight feet apart. It has a triple rail, and the braces are'large and well fastened. "Whenever new fences are required about our school-house lots, I would recommend this as a model. Although quite expensive in its first cost, I believe it will be found good economy in the end, in affording a good fence for a long time. I regret to observe that some, fences, built of the same materials but a few years since, on account of the insufficiency of materials, and the unworkmanlike manner of putting them together, are already making rapid progress towards dilapidation. The means of warming the Girl's High School room have for several years been inadequate. The coal-burning stove, from which little heat was obtained, has given place to one of Wood & Bishop's large ventilating wood stoves, which answers the requirement of heat, and brings a current of pure air into the room. Another similar stove should keep it company on the other side of the room. The last and largest item under this head, is the substitution of the modern and approved school-desk and chair made of cherry wood with iron standards for the common pine desks and seats in Jliss Burr's school-room in Abbot Square. The old scats were quite too low and wide apart, and were undoubtedly injuriously affecting the forms and health of the pupils. The change in the sittings and appearance of the room now compares favorably with the admirable school which occupies it. ORDINARY REPAIRS. The amount chargeable under this head, considering the high price of labor and materials, is not large, though more than I could wish, in so far as occasioned by the acts of the thoughtless and vicious. Teachers may do much to check injuries to premises under their care, and they should be held responsible to a limited extent. In one or two instances abuse of the school premises seems to have been unnoticed by the teachers. Many small repairs 1 have mvself made, not only for economy's sake, but because I often found it less trouble than to ascertain what was necessary to be done and find some one to do it. Several of the school-houses need re-painting. The high cost of lead and oil has deterred from making this expenditure; but I think this matter should have immediate attention. FUEL. This has become a large item of expense, and will probably increase in the future. In procuring wood, in the Summer, I found the price considerably advanced over previous years. I visited Oldtown, Eddington, Holden, Levant, ic, and found I could not do better than five dollars per cord for hard, and three dollars per cord for soft wood. I procured in all about three hundred and thirty-five cords two hundred hard, and the balance s.,,ft at these prices, of the best quality, which were prepared and housed in favorable weather. Within a few weeks after securing the complement for the schools, hard wood advanced to seven, and soft wood to four dollars and upwards per cord. The quantity now on hand at nearly all the schoolhouses is large, and in some the procurement of wood for the ensuing year, mjfht bo safely intermitted. I have also secured, during the present Winter on reasonable terms, nearly one-fourth of the amount of wood required for the ensuing year. There is a great difference in the consumption of fuel

34 30 REPORT OF TIIE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS. [1864. in school-houses of tho same character, and, I believe, with a little care on (he part of all teachers in. this particular, a considerable saving might be e lleled, and the too common overheating of school-rooms avoided. BOOKS FOR INDIGENT PUPILS. I have furnished books in one hundred and twenty instances, amounting to $ This amount, notwithstanding the price of school-books has advanced about twenty-five per cent., is much less than the average for several years past. With but some half-dozen exceptions, those furnished are either children of widows, or of fathers away from home in the fight for the Union. Many books are now on hand, as I deemed it good economy to purchase for future use a considerable number of the new Geography now used in the schools, at the introductory, or about half-price.

While it has undoubtedly been the aim of all teachers to excel in their vocation, and they have generally succeeded, and several have exhibited remarkable success, it has happened in a few instances, either by the right teacher not being in tho right place, or from a lack of aptness to teach and govern, or from the peculiar difficulties of poor material and the lack of proper parental co-operation, that not as satisfactory results have been obtained as could be desired. Among our most successful teachers, I might mention some whose intense devotion to their vocation, and ambition to excel, and whose great exertions in overcoming obstacles peculiar to their situation, although to be regretted for the sacrifice of health which they involve, reach the point of moral heroism. I cannot too strongly bespeak the cordial co-operation and sympathy of parents and the community with our earnest, laborious and faithful teachers; to sco to it that by no neglect in home government they impose an additional burden upon them in the government of their schools ; to cheer and encourage them with friendly word and counsel; and in alleged causes of complaint to be careful in tho manner they give heed to them, lest they wound the teachers' feelings, rendered all the more sensitive by a consciousness of endeavoring to do right. AVith this sympathy and co-operation, the teacher's work, though arduous and wearing, has its bright and pleasant tide. Without them, it is deprived of this compensation, and is hard indeed. OVERTAXING THE MEMORY. I would call attention to a very common error. It is to be feared that teachers often undertake too much with tho verbal memory of pupils, while the reasoning and reflective faculties are comparatively uncultivated. Among many teachers of schools of similar grade, there is great temptation in this direction, from tho loo prevalent idea that quantity is the criterion of merit. There is great danger of thus over-taxing the memory to the detri-

35 1864.] CITY OF DANQOn. LSI ment of the other faculties, as well as the bodily health. As in the natural body, only that portion of aliment which is digested and assimilated, goes to the nourishment of the body, while the superabundance clogs the system and impairs its healthy action, so with the mind, only what is mastered and comprehended adds to its growth and enlarges its scope, while imposing too much, or too difficult tasks, upon it, tends to weaken and injure its faculties. The teacher's office is to educate that is, to lead forth, to guide and assist the reasoning powers, and thus develope the mind. A well-stored and wellbalanced mind, tact and aptness in instruction, systematic steadiness and perseverance, united with a kind disposition and an even temper, avoiding harsh and stinging reproofs which sour and discourage instead of quickening the slow and dull, will rarely fail of their reward, even in the most unpromising field of labor. SUBURBAN SCHOOLS. The selection of teachers for the Suburban Schools during the year has been unusually fortunate, and with but two or three exceptions, given satisfaction. In one instance, the people of a disaffected District undertook by improper means, to expel a teacher. The supposed offenders were duly arraigned before the Police Court, but the testimony of a reluctant witness was insufficient to convict. The school was suspended by the Committee. The disgraceful conduct of parents in this District has exerted a baneful influence upon the school which, it is to be feared, will not soon subside. In most of the Suburban Schools there is an inordinate passion to use higher text-books than the proficiency of the pupils warrants, or than are used in the annual schools; as though advanced text-books in themselves make advanced scholars. If they would dispossess themselves of this erroneous idea, and content themselves with text-books suited to their capacity, more real progress would bo made. What is especially needed in the Suburban Districts is a greater interest on the part of parents in their schools, and a hearty co-operation with the teachers. The school is too often regarded secondary to other interests, as is evident in the small average attendance. There is one District (the Bagley) which might well bo emulated by every neighborhood in the City. The people take a deep and united interest in their school, and the consequence is visible in the happiest results. BOYS' HIGH SCHOOL. Within the past six or seven years there has been a largo falling off in attendance at both the High Schools at the Girls' High School rising twenty-five per cent., and at the Boys' High School about fifty per cent. The great decrease in the latter has considerably exercised the public mind as to its causes and the means necessary to bring up its numbers commensurato with the expenditure required for its maintenance, and the educational privile"es which a school of this grade should afford. I do not propose to discuss the causes of this numerical waning. When the school was first established, it was for several years crowded to its fullest capacity ; but I believe there was then no Select School, which is now the.graduating point of many and the standard of qualification for admission was not then as high as it is now. Still it would seem reasonable that, with our population largely increased,

36 32 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT Off SCHOOLS, [1864. this school should hold good its numbers. Parents undoubtedly withdraw their smis from school at an earlier age than formerly, to enter upon the active pursuits of life. There has been for some time a feeling that the Languages are occupying an undue prominence in this school, to the neglect of the more practical branches. Former Committees have called attention to this, and I believe the public never more strongly called for a modification in this matter than now. Granting all that can be said in favor of the study of the Languages as a discipline for the mind, and a means of culture in the English tongue, may not this discipline be as well secured by the study of the Natural Sciences, and other practical branches, and will not the available benefits of these in the general business of life compensate for any lack resulting from the partial or total omission of the Languages? The number in this school fitting for college and the professions, is very limited. The great majority will enter upon mechanical or commercial pursuits. Should not the course of studies, then, be as nearly adapted as possible, to the future intended vocation of the pupils? A change seems to be called for whether the school is to continue in its present meagreness of numbers or not. But would not a change on the side of the practical in the course of instruction, by giving more general satisfaction to parents, induce them more generally to send their sons to this school, and continue them longer in it? In common with other graduates of this school in its earlier days, I cannot but hope that some method may be devised to win back for it a larger measure of the public favor, and restore it to its former prosperity and usefulness. ABSENTEEISM. The average number of pupils attending the Primary Schools, is about thirteen hundred, and the average number attending the Intermediate Schools, about seven hundred. What becomes of this six hundred difference between these grades? Although a very large falling off may be expected among pupils in their upward progress through the several grades, still I cannot account for so large a difference between these two lowest grades, without supposing that unnecessary absenteeism has something to do with it. There arc undoubtedly large numbers of children of the age of Intermediate pupils, over whom no proper parental interest and control are exerted, who spend their time about the streets and wharves, but who should be gathered into the public schools. To look after this class properly would require more labor on the part of the Superintendent than could be performed in connection with his other numerous duties. In other cities of the size of Bangor, a Truant Officer is specially employed for the purpose of looking after truants and absentees. I would not recommend the creation of a new office, but would suggest whether from the present increased Police force of the City, one might not be detailed to assist in this important matter. MISCELLANEOUS. The amount of outstanding bills of last year, paid this, is $ I intended that no bills against the Department this year, should pass over to the next, but an illness proventod my getting them all in. The amount of bills outstanding, however, will not exceed twenty dollars.

37 1864.] CITY OF BANGOR. 'i?j The new Geography " Colton & Fitch's Modern School " introduced into the schools near the close of the year, meets with general favor among the teachers. The Geography and Atlas, superseded by this, had become a very expensive test-book, and the change, fortunately, unites merit and economy in its favor. Hundreds of dollars will be saved by it. The adoption of this Geography, and of the popular Series of Readers Town and Holbrook's Progressive under the five years' act, will undoubtedly give an agreeable season of repose from tho raids of enterprising and rival bookpublishers. In closing, gentlemen, allow mo to return thanks for the confidence reposed in mo in the performance of tho multifarious and responsible duties of my position. What has been done but gives mo a clearer perception of how much remains undone. C. T. ROBERTS. Bangor, March 10, 18C4.

Likewise to Schedule L>, for an account of stock, tools, provisions, clothing, «&c., on hand. The number of families calling for support during the year outside of the Alms House, is one hundred and twenty-nine, containing iive hundred and thirty-one individuals. Americans, two hundred and nineteen; of foreign birth, three hundred and sixteen. There has been delivered from the Alms House and wood lot, the past year, to outside paupers, about one hundred and twenty-five cords of wood. About two hundred and twenty-five cords have been cut from the City wood lot the past winter, and about one hundred cords hauled to the City Farm. The most of this work is done by the inmates of the Alms Houso and those calling for assistance from the City. The hauling and delivery of wood is done by the teams on the Farm. The furnaces used for warming the Alms Houso have become so much worn as to bo unfit to warm the house another year. Wo would recommend

40 30 REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR. [1864. that early measures bo taken to inquire into the propriety of warming the house by steam, and also of applying it for cooking and other purposes. We again recommend that an appropriation be made for building a reservoir of suitable capacity for extinguishing fire, and to afford an additional supply of water for the use of the house. Mr. and Mrs. Gilman have performed their duties as Superintendent and Matron of the different departments for the past year, to the entire satisfaction of the Board of Overseers. Doctor R. K. Jones, the City Physician, has cheerfully performed his duties as such at all times during the past year. Religious services have been held at the Alms House most of the time for the past year by different individuals, which is generally appreciated by the inmates. All of which is respectfully submitted.

50 REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER OF FUSE DEPARTMENT. Tu the City Council: CHIEF EXCIIXEKK'S OFFICE, 1 >larch 15, / GEX-TLEMEN In accordance with my duty as Chief Engineer, I herewith submit a statement of the condition of the Fire Department of this City. The Department consists at the present time of one Steam Eire Engine, two Hand Engines, and one Hook and Ladder Company. The Department have done their duty faithfully for the past year, and all the Companies are full at the present time. The Houses of the several Companies (except No. 0, which needs slight repairs) are in good condition. The Steamer has for the past seven months been hauled to the fires by a pair of horses purchased for that purpose the Street Commissioner keeping them for their work cleaning up the streets when not on dutyr-which works well, as they are on hand much quicker than by the old plan. The Tender to the Steamer has been hauled to the fires by Mr. "VVoodard, at a cost of $75. The Steamer has done a large amount of work this year filling the reservoirs, keeping them full all the. time. This Company needs five more members to make the Steamer as eflscient as she should be one for a teamster, and four for suction hosemen. The hosemen at present have to lead out their hose 1,200 feet, and then return to the Steamer and place her suction down before she can work, which delays her about five minutes or more. All this could bo avoided by adding a few more men to the Company. In my opinion, the most fires are saved the first five minutes. That number of men would make her as quick at fires as the Hand Engines. The whole number of fires and alarms during the past year, is thirtyone four less than the previous 3 r ear. Number of fires, 23 Number of alarms, 8 Total, 31

51 46 nurokt on THE OUXEF ENGINEER. [ ' the above fires, the causes, as far as could be ascertained, were as follows, viz : Incendiarism, 2 Defect in chimney, 10 Accidental, c Children playing with matches, 2 Unknown, Total, 23 By referring to last year's Report, you will see that the losses this year are $7,350 less than in The losses are this year, as far as could be ascertained, $15,050; insured for $10,250 which may in a good measure be attributed to the very prompt and efficient manner in which the firemen have discharged their duties. I think the manner in which they all worked at the fire at the Kennebec Stable, (while the most of them froze their ears and fingers) shows to the citizens of Bangor that their firemen can' be trusted on any occasion. There has been purchased of J. L. Shaw & Co., one thousand feet of leading hose, at a cost of $1,250. Also, a squirreutail suction for the Steamer, of the Portland Company, at a cost of $ There have been purdiased of E. A. Roulston, thirtyvfive hats, at a cost of $86, for Companies Nos. 3 and G. Both of these Companies need new outside fire-coats, the same as those of the Steamer's Company. They complain that the City is partial to the Steamer's Company; and they complain rightfully that they need the coats as much as any one as they have to fight the fire at close quarters, and are more liable to spoil their clothes. I think it would bo money well invested, as the firemen do not wait to change their clothes before starting to a fire. A pair of horses was purchased of the Street Commissioner, for $300 ; also a set of double harnesses, at $45. The amount of new property added to the Department is $1, There have been built this year, two first class brick and cement Reservoirs, situated one on French Street, at a cost of $515 the other on the corner of York and Adams Street, at a cost of $565, of the capacity of 28,000 gallons, arched tops, with two openings. The Reservoirs on Court and Darkin Streets were found to be in bad condition, and both of them had to be newly arched over, at a cost of $225 and $200 each. The old wooden Reservoir on Ohio Street had to be newly covered, and one hundred feet of new outlet made of brick and cement. The old wooden Reservoir situated in West Market Square, has rotted so that it is not safe for the Steamer to go upon it to play. I would recommend that a large brick and cement one be built this Summer capable of containing 40,000 gallons. A large amount of property has to be guarded by that Reservoir, as the Engines cannot get on to the wharves. Old Tiger No. G has been sold to Messrs. Hinckley & Egery for $256 leaving only reserve Engines No. 3 and old No. 4 on hand. No. 4 could be sold to some small place for more than she would bring to break her up. She is of no use to the City. I would recommend a new large Hose Carriage for the Steamer, as the one now in use is not fit to carry one-half of the hose she has to use at fires.

52 1864.] CITY OF DANQOB. 47 The Expenditures for the last year have been $7, against $7,421!i:i the year before. The amount received from sale of No. (i and old hose cart and wheels, metal, &c, is $327 tio, which has been paid into the City Treasurer. The appropriation was $0, leaving tho amount overdrawn, $ Tho accompanying documents give a full account of the number of Fires and Alarms, the Members of the Department, the number of Reservoirs and Well*, and where located, nnd the amount of Property belonging to the City and in charge of the different Companies. I would call your attention to tho salaries of the Assistant Engineers which are altogether too small for their services not paying for the clothes they spoil at fires. I would recommend that they bo paid $100 per year. In closing, I wish to express the deep sense of obligation I feel towards my two Assistants, and members of the Department, for their cheerful cooperation in the affairs of tho Department for the past year. Their faithful labors deserve the approval of tho public. All of which is respectfully submitted. JAMES W. WILLIAMS, Chief Engineer. Fires and Alarms since March 14, Date. Owners or Occupants.

58 BEPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF STREETS. To the City Council: The Commissioner of Streets would respectfully submit the following Report, which, with accompanying Schedules, shows the Receipts and Expenditures of his Department-from March 1st, I860, to March 1st, The amount appropriated was $, Amount received from sundry sources, as per Schedule A, 1, Making, 813,198 G4 The amount expended has been, $13, Amount overdrawn, $ The appropriation was less than the estimated expenses, and the advanced price of labor, hay, grain, and all articles necossary to supply the demands of this Department, has made it impossible for me to keep within the appropriation, or to make all the necessary repairs. Had the expenses for breaking roads been as large as usual, I should have been obliged to have overdrawn for a much larger amount. Many of the streets are in bad condition, having been repaired from year to year just enough to render them passable; and a larger outlay on some of them would, in my opinion, be advantageous to the City. The bridge at Merrill's Mills is in a very dangerous condition, being much decayed, and unsafe for heavy teams. There arc also several small bridges that will have to be rebuilt the present season. The sewers on State and Main Streets are in no better condition than when I made my last Report. Schedule R gives the amount expended on each street, bridge, &c. Schedule C a list of the City property under my charge, and the valuation. All of which is respectfully submitted. TAYLOR DURG1N, Street Commissioner,

There has been no violent outbreak. There have been some instances of storebreaking in the night, notwithstanding the vigilance of the Police, though very little property has been stolen. Such occurrences it is not possible wholly to prevent in the best regulated cities for it is not possible for the Police officer to be at all points at the same time. It is my belief, however, that considering the number of Policemen and the extent of their limits, there are as few violations of law as in any other city of its size. The change in the organization of the Police the past year, has been attended with good results, and the officers have generally faithfully performed their duties. H. B. FARNHAM, City Marshal.

66 REPOE/T OF THE CITY SOLICITOR. To the City Council: The undersigned respectfully submits the Annual Report of the City Solicitor: There were at the commencement of the municipal year, on the docket of the Supreme Judicial Court for Penobscot County, eight actions in which the City was interested, viz : 1. Samuel Veazie vs. Bangor. 2. Moses Savary and other vs. same. 3. Henry Q. Norton vs. same. 4. Isaac M. Bragg vs. same. o. Henry B. Parnham vs. same. 6. Calvin G. Weld vs. same. 7. City of Bangor v». Asa P. Lansil. 8. Samuel Keliher vs. Bangor. The history of the first action Veazie vs. Bangor has been so often written, printed and read, that I will not repeat it. The action was tried during the last municipal year, and resulted in a verdict of $3, My predecessor, "trusting that so eccentric a verdict might in some way be corrected," filed exceptions to the ruling of the Judge, and a motion that the verdict be set aside. These points were argued by me in the early part of the year, and the Court now has them under consideration. I confidently expect that the exceptions will be sustained, and a new trial granted. If it be not'so; if where the parties to a contract agree that the subject matter of the contract shall be performed to the acceptance of a third party named in the contract, the Court will permit either party to set aside such provision, I shall feel constrained to believe that the " eccentricity " of law may be greater than that of the verdict of a jury. 2. The case of Savary and other vs. Bangor, is an appeal from the decision of the City Council in not awarding damages to the estate of Thomas Drew for land taken in straightening Centre Street from a point near the dwelling-house of N. Harlow, to Broadway. Though this part of Centre Street has been laid out several years, it has not yet been made. When it

67 02 RBPOltT OF TUB CITY SOLICITOR. [1864. is made, tho City contemplate discontinuing the old road opposite, which, when done, will revase from tho servitude of a street about as much land as the City has taken from the Drew estate; and as the estate will thus get as much land as it loses, I understand the heirs will not claim damages, if the old road shall be discontinued. The action must necessarily stand until that time. 3. The action, Henry Q. Norton vs. Bangor, was brought to recover damages received by plaintiff by running against a post near the edge of the sidewalk on Harlow.Street. It was tried at the last October term, and u verdict rendered against the City for $ The plaintiff laid his damages at $2,000. A motion has been filed to set aside the verdict on tho ground that the damages allowed were excessive, and for other reasons. Exceptions to the ruling of the Judge, were also taken, J. Isaac 51. Bragg brought his action to recover damages to himself, his horse and chaise, through an alleged defect in the lower end of Middle Street. It is a question of law for the Court to decide whether the City is liable. The case has been argued, and awaits the decision of the Court. 5. Henry B. Farnham's claim is $180 70, alleged to have been paid by him, a< City Mar-dial, to AVm. C. Crosby, Esq., for certain professional services connected with the Maine Liquor Law. The City defends on the ground that it is not liable, and that its subordinate officers have no legal right to engage counsel on the credit of the City. The case was tried at the last April term. After the evidence was out, the case was withdrawn from the jury, and referred to the Judge, with the right to except to his ruling. The Judge ruled that the plaintiff was entitled to recover $. Both parties excepted to the ruling, and tho case was argued at the Law Term. fi. "Weld vs. Bangor, was an appeal from the Engineers in awarding $83 for land taken by the extension of fifth Street. The eaf-e has been settled by the City paying $">. 7. The City claimed of A. P. Lun-.il, $42 0?., for money expended by the Street Commissioner in repairing a private drain across the defendants lot. The case was tried at the April term, and a verdict of $27 11 rendered against the defendant. The defendant excepted to the ruling of the Judge, and the exceptions were argued at Law Term. 8. Samuel Keliher claims $500 for an injur}- alleged to have been received by him, through a defect in a trap-door in the sidewalk on the easterly side of Exchange Street. 1 have notified the owner and occupant of the premises, to come in and defend the action. This is the only action that now stands on the docket against the City for a jury trial. Some of the other actions may, or may not, result in a jury trial. depend, of course, upon the decision of the Court. It will There are three actions in the S. J. Court vs. D. M. Bickmore, Pound Keeper, and one in the Police Court. I apprehend tho Pound Keeper haa a good defence to most if not all of the actions. All of which is respectfully submitted. A. G. WAKEFIELD, City Solicitor.

68 REPORT OP TUB CITI PHYSICIAN. To the City Council: The City Physician respectfully Reports : He has had occasion to prescribe officially for one hundred and ninety patients of whom one hundred and eight were inmates of the Alms House or House of Correction ; fourteen of the Small Pox Hospitals ; and sixty - eight resided at their respective homes. The Alms House has been visited one hundred and ninety-three times; the Pest Houses eighty-seven times ; and two hundred and forty-six medical visits have been made to paupers at private houses. There have been six births at the Alms House three of either sex. Six paupers and one inmate of the House of Correction have died four of Pulmonary Consumption; one of Cancer; one of Pneumonia and Delirium Tremens; and one of Exposure, having been received at the Alms House in a moribund condition. I have been called upon to attend seventeen cases of Varioloid all of which resulted favorably except that of one child who had it in a confluent form, and died on the seventh day of the disease. Other cases of the disease have occurred within the City, and are likely to occur, as the disease is very prevalent throughout the country ; and I would respectfully call the attention of the authorities to the importance of insisting that "house-holders and physicians having cases of infectious disease under their care," give notice thereof to the Health Officer, as required by statute. I know of no recent case of Varioloid which has occurred within the City and there is now no case at the Pest House. The diseases otherwise have been of the usual variety, many of a chronic nature and without special interest. I again respectfully urge upon the attention of the City Government the matter of warming the Alms House in a more efficient manner. The fuel now annually consumed there cost3 about $1,000 whereas, by proper arrangements, the desired purpose could be satisfactorily accomplished at an annual expense of $500. The apartments occupied by the sick are never comfortable in cold weather, and at times the occupants suffer much from the cold. Both economy and humanity demand that the subject should receive attention.

69 64 EKPOUT OJ THH our PHYSICIAN. [1864. The Banitary condition of the institution is, and has been, highly satisfactory ; no serious case of illness has originated there during the year. The inmates in sickness receive all necessary attention and care; they are fully provided with all necessities, and with as many delicacies as is desirable in such an institution and in health enjoy as much liberty and as many privileges as are consistent with their general welfare. Of the adaptcdness to their offices of the Superintendent and Matron, and of their faithful and conscientious discharge of their respective duties, the present City Physician, as have all his predecessors in office, bears cheerful testimony; and though serious sickness has prevented the Superintendent for the last few months from giving his personal care to the duties of his office, I am not aware that the interests of the institution or of its inmates, have in any degree been allowed to suffer. Respectfully submitted. RALPH K. JONES.
