THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
In 1830 the citizens and Town Board bought a hydraulic engine, named " Palace," of a Philadelphia, Pa., firm. It cost $600. It is described as follows: The body of the machine was seven feet long and two and one-half feet wide. The tank which held the water was at the back of the apparatus and was four feet in length, two feet wide, and fourteen inches deep. The pump was of the rotary pattern and was operated by two cranks a little over four feet long, there being room for four men on each crank. The pipeman stood on top of the machine. Water was drawn from wells, cisterns, or other sources, and was carried to the machine in buckets, a double line of men, women and children passing the buckets from hand to hand to the engine ; the empty buckets being returned to the water supply in the same manner.
The following is the enrollment of the first volunteer fire company : David Hook, Benjamin Fulghum, Aaron Pleas, William Dulin, Lewis Burk, Jesse Stutler, Zimri Strattan, Ephraim Rulin, Levi P. Rothermel, Abraham Jefferis, William N. Cammack, Job W. Swain, Jehiel Wasson, John A. Wright, Leander Carry, Andreas Wiggins, and James Hughes. The two latter still reside in our midst.
The Town Trustees adopted the first ordinance to establish fire companies on December 2, 1832. The first engine was not a great success and was derisively known as "The Grindstone." The second engine was bought of a Boston, Mass., firm in 1836, jointly by the town and citizens. It was of the " Honeymoon " pattern, was named " The Hunker," and had a side brake which gave working room for twenty-four men. It had a suction hose, which relieved the bucket brigade, besides enough hose to reach an ordinary fire. To accommodate this engine a number of "fire wells" were made. October, 1850, the Town Council ordered of D. S. Farnham, of Cincinnati, an engine known as " The Rowboat," at a cost of $1,210. In 1857 a joint committee of citizens and Councilmen hought an engine of Button & Son, of Waterford, N. Y .: a side-brake engine, with folding arms, adjustable stroke, and arranged to throw five streams of water. It was named "The Quaker City," and cost $1,579. A steam fire engine, made at Seneca Falls, N. Y., was bought by the city in 1860, at a cost of $5,000. The first hook and ladder company was organized July 16, 1866. A paid fire department was established December 5, 1872. On April 2, 1872, a second steam engine, known as the Silsby, No. 3, was purchased. About the same time L. H. Mccullough put in the fire alarm telegraph. Since the introduction of water-works one of the steam engines has been disposed of.
The Chief Fire Engineer's report for the year ending May 1, 1896, shows the present manual force and companies of the Department as follows : The manual force of the Department consists of fifteen men permanently employed, one Chief Engineer, with fourteen men divided into four companies : One hook and ladder company, with three men ; No. I hose company, four men ; No. 2 hose company, four men ; No. 3 hose company, three men. The companies are located as follows : The hook and ladder company at City Hall ; No. 1 hose company, corner of Eighth and North D streets ; No. 2 hose company at No. 2 engine house, City Hall ; No. 3 liose company on North A street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. The companies are composed of good and reliable men.
RICHMOND CITY WATER WORKS.
This plant was completed in June, 1885, at a cost of $370,000, and is a combination of the reservoir and direct pressure systems. The water furnished is of the best quality, and in ample quantity. It furnishes perfect fire protection. Since its erection the company has perfected it at great expense.
GAS WORKS.
The Gas Works were built in 1855, and have been improved and the mains extended, from time to time, to keep pace with the march of progress. It is two stories high, and has a rear projection forming part of the engine house, which is 25 feet long by 25 feet wide. It cost $28, 225.41.
THE COURT HOUSE
Is the boast of the city and county. It cost nearly half a million dollars, and is the finest building of its kind in the State.
BRIDGES.
The Doran bridge, across the river at North D street, cost $58,000. Its length is 528 feet, its width 41 feet, and it stands 62 feet above low water mark. The old bridge, across the river at Main street, is no longer considered safe, and a mammoth new bridge is in course of construction. This bridge will span the river on a straight line with the street, and be some distance north of the old struc- ture. Counting the cost of the bridge and its approaches, it will cost the county and city in the neighborhood of $50,000.
THE PARKS.
The special boast of the city is Glen Miller Park. This large pleasure ground abounds in springs of pure water, clear and cold ; romantic natural scenery; an artificial lake, of good size, fed and maintained by the springs ; lovely drive ways; handsome bridges and arches; flowers, plants and grasses; cottages, refreshment stands, boat house and boats; shaded hills, grassy valleys and deep ravines; magnificent trees, and seats for the weary. At night it is well lighted by electricity, and the street cars make it easy of access.
The South Tenth Street Park - Is the oldest in the city, and can and will be made a beautiful and delightful resort at no distant day.
The Starr-Is a new and beautiful little park, recently laid out and donated to the city by James M. Starr. It is located on a plat of ground that at one time constituted the burying ground of "Friends." The remains of the dead have been removed to some more suitable place. The park is a pretty one, and is one of the many valuable gifts which Mr. Starr has made to this city.
ELECTRIC LIGHT.
On August 21, 1895, the City Council granted a franchise to the O. C. Irwin Company to furnish the city with electric light. This company failed to comply with the terms imposed, and in the Fall of the same year a franchise was granted to the Light, Heat & Power Company. The present works were completed in 1894, and the city is proud of its well-lighted streets and public buildings. The gas and electric light plants are now owned and operated by the same company.
NATURAL GAS.
A pipe line between this city and the gas wells near Chesterfield, in Madison county, furnish us with a supply of convenient and cheap gas for fuel and manufacturing purposes.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Our City Hall, North Fifth street, near Main, was erected in 1886, is of Norman style of architecture, stone front, depressed Mansard roof ; has a frontage of ninety-three feet and a depth of seventy feet.
BUSINESS HOUSES.
Richmond's three National banks are strong, reliable and accommodating. Her wholesale houses are rivals of the best houses in Cincinnati and Indianapolis. Her mercantile establishments are numerous, metropolitan in size and arrangement. She vies with the larger and more pretentious cities in her fine show windows and in the beauty and completeness of many of her large dry goods, clothing and grocery establishments.
OUR MANUFACTORIES.
A stove foundry, established by Isaac E. Jones, in 1836, passed into the hands of Jesse M. and John H. Hutton, in 1839. In this foundry, in 1841, the first threshing machine ever built in the State was made. I11 1849 the Huttons sold it to Jonas Gaar & Sons, and it became known as "The Spring Foundry." To-day it is the immense and widely known establishment of Gaar, Scott & Co. The Robinson Machine Works were established by Francis W. Robinson, in 1842.
The development of our manufacturing interests has been rapid, and to-day we boast of the following excellent establishments : Gaar, Scott & Co., Robinson & Co., Hoosier Drill Co., Starr Piano Co., Richmond Casket Co., J. M. Hutton & Co., Richmond City Mill Works, M. C. Henley Bicycle Works, Indiana Church Furniture Co., Sedgwick Bros.' Wire Fence Works, Wayne Agricultural Works, Safety Gate Works, Creamer-Scott Carriage Co., Dille & McGuire Mfg. Co., Western Wood-Working Co., Quaker City Machine Works, Stari Chain Works, National Church Furniture Co., Champion Manufacturing Co., Richmond Machine Works, F. & N. Lawn Mower Works, Richmond School Furniture Co., Haynes Veneer Blackboard Co., Perfection Manufacturing Co., Fulton Boiler Works, Richmond Bicycle Works, The Elliott & Reid Fence Works, Wiggins' Tannery, Rowlett Desk Co., Fry Bros.' Planing Mill Co., Louck & Hill Planing Mill Co., U. S. Baking Co. Cracker Factory; Emil Minck, brewery ; Artificial Ice Co., Champion Roller Milling Co., Richmond Roller Mills ; Light, Heat and Power Co., Hasty Bros.' Confectionery Factory, Richardson-Weber Candy Co., Wilke China Kiln Factory, Richmond Chair Co., Yates Manufacturing Co., Nixon Paper Mill Co. There are cigar and other similar factories, necessarily omitted.
Richmond enjoys the reputation of being the prettiest, cleanest and healthiest city in the Union. As beautiful as the views in this book are, they only give an imperfect idea of what nature, art, wealth and public spirit have accomplished here. As a rule, old towns are marred by narrow, crooked and diagonal streets ; on the contrary, our thoroughfares are broad and straight, and so bordered by shade trees that they appear like avennes through a well-kept forest, under intertwining branches. The sidewalks are well paved and leveled. The public buildings in Richmond are notably fine. The court-house, almost new, sits in the midst of a well-shaded lawn, and presents a most imposing appearance. The building and its furniture cost the people of Wayne county nearly a half-million dollars. Our City Hall is now about ten years old, but is still a handsome structure, neatly faced with stone. The Hotel Westcott is a splendid monument to the public spirit of our people. Although it is now owned by John M. Westcott, alone, it was planned and built by the Commercial Club, a body of citizens who taxed themselves heavily that Richmond might have a hotel worthy of her thrift and her trade. The Westcott is known far and wide for its stately proportions and its massive beauty. It is a thoroughly modern up-to-date hotel, with a hundred splendid rooms. One of the special features of which our citizens are justly proud is St. Stephen's Hospital. This institution was erected and is maintained by private contributions. The city schools are of the best ; its colleges, like its manufac- tories, have a most enviable reputation. Its grand library speaks of culture, its many churches of religion. Its hundreds of costly residences, in the midst of beautiful grounds, and its great hives of industry, tell a story of remarkable thrift. The squalid and dis- reputable quarters common, even to smaller cities, do not exist here. There is a vigilant police force, but the total number of arrests in the year ending April 30, 1896, was only 668, and but few of these were for crime.
The water supply is abundant and pure ; the amount furnished to the city daily is 2,500,000 gallons, or 208 gallons per capita. The system of sewerage is excellent, and there are but few portions of the city without sewer privileges. The garbage is disposed of in a crematory erected for the purpose. The slaughter-houses are made to conform to the strictest sanitary rules. As a result of a healthy location, and of the cleanliness of the city, generally, we have a lower death rate than any other city of equal size in the United States. The total number of deaths in the year ending April 30th, 1896, was 255.
Our fire department is so admirably managed that the total loss from fire in the past year was only $6,096. The assessed valu- ation of taxables on May ist, 1896, was $11, 221, 180. The city management has been careful to keep the bonded indebtedness at as low an ebb as possible. As a consequence the city may yet contract a bonded debt of $141, 423.60, without exceeding the constitu- tional limit.
The population of Richmond, as shown by sworn statements of school enumerators, May ist, 1895, was 20,334. The Richmond Electric Railway line furnishes convenient connection with the Union Depot, Earlham College and Glen Miller Park. The latter park is well known, and is a resort that attracts people from distant cities, who desire to drink of its pure, cold and sparkling water, and enjoy the shade of its native trees on its picturesque hills. It has been beautified at great expense to the city, and its broad and level drive- ways, its romantic bridges, its artificial lake, its flower-beds and its zoological collection all combine to make it a most attractive park. The South Tenth Street Park is a beautiful grove, and will be made a lovely place in the near future. The Starr Park occupies the site of the long abandoned cemetery of Friends. The remains of the dead have all been removed. and James M. Starr has not only donated it to the city, but has constructed solid drive-ways and walks, and made it a gem, which will reflect lustre on his name when he is no longer with us. He who stands on any of the bridges which span the Whitewater, and gazes at the scenery of wondrous beauty spread out before him, will say that early Friends, when they wrote and spoke of the beautiful Whitewater country, did not overdraw the picture.
