How to obtain a license for peddling, what must be paid for it, what sort of a " character" is needed, and what things may be dealt in, are set forth by the law in the chapter referred to, as amended at vari- ous times, in words following :- " Section six- dollar for every one thousand inhabitants


over four thousand contained therein ; but the sum so to be paid to a treasurer shall in no case exceed twenty-five dollars. Section nineteen-Any person resident, paying taxes upon his stock in trade, and qualified to vote in a city or town, may there expose to sale and sell goods, wares or merchandise, upon obtaining a license pursuant to the provi- sions of sections sixteen and seventeen, and shall not be required to pay to the treasurer of such city or town any sum therefor."


For a special State license, fifty dollars must be paid the secretary of the common- wealth ; and for a county license, one dol- lar to the secretary for each county taken, and an additional sum to the treasurer of such county, varying in amount from four dollars for the richest county, to one for the poorest county. Licenses may be trans- ferred.


Peddlers must post and show licenses, as will be seen by the following :- " Section twenty-four-Every person licensed to peddle as hereinbefore provided shall post his name, residence, and the number of his license, in a conspicuous manner upon his parcels or vehicle, and when such license is demanded of him by any mayor, alderman, selectman, town or city treasurer or clerk, constable, police officer, or justice of the peace, shall forthwith exhibit it, and if he neglects or refuses so to do, shall be subject to the same penalty as if he had no license. So much of this chapter as relates to hawkers and peddlers, or a synopsis thereof, shall be prin- ted on every license."


Forfeitures for violation of this law are from fifty to one thousand dollars. Half the money thus obtained goes to complain- ant.


PAWNBROKERS, DEALERS IN OLD JUNK, AND INTELLIGENCE OFFICES, must procure license annually from the Mayor and Alder- men ; and if they fail to do it, heavy for- feitures are incurred.


OWNERS OF DOGS must annually pay $2 to City Clerk the first of May, for license of a male, and $5 for a female. A penalty of $15 against an owner, and of $100 against an officer for not complying with the law.


OTHER LICENSES obtained from Mayor and Aldermen, are numerous, and are re- quired for refining, storing or selling kero-


sene ; for hackmen and truckmen ; for inn- keepers ; for auctioneers ; and for erection of new buildings, etc.

United States Armory.


Commanding officer-James G. Benton, Colonel Ordnance Corps; Assistants to Commanding Officer, Captain J. P. Farley, Brevet Major G. W. McKee, Captain G. D. Ramsay, First-Lieutenant Henry Metcalf, and First-Lieutenant J. Rockwell, of the Ordnance Corps ; Ordnance Storekeeper and Paymaster, Major Edward Ingersoll.


The arsenal, offices, store-houses and principal shops are on nearly the highest ground in Springfield, on State street, and command a fine view of the Connecticut River and the surrounding country. The heavier operations required are carried on at the Water Shops on Mill River Prob- ably in no other part of the world has the manufacture of muskets been carried to such perfection. The breech-loader, model of 1873, which has been made here, was the combined result of the inventions and im- provements applied by the government and the highest skill displayed by private enter- prise, and it is probably the best breech- loading arm in the world.


The principal work done at the Armory, the past year, has been the manufacturing of rifles and carbines. To results thus ob- tained by the government, private manufac- turers are largely indebted, and would not themselves, in many cases, undertake the processes by which important facts have been demonstrated that materially benefit them. Making a liberal allowance for all items of expenditure, labor, superintendence, depreciation, condemned work, interest, etc. guns were manufactured here through the war at a cost of only $11.70 each, while similar arms from contractors cost $20 each, besides charges for proving and inspection.


The chief arsenal of the government for small arms is here, and there are now stored in it about 275,000 fire-arms of various kinds for the military service.


Most of the men work by the piece. The now of about 500 volumes. A yard has


eight-hour law prevails, the working hours being from 7 A. M. to 4 P. M. in Summer, and 7.30 A. M. to 4.30 P. M. in Winter.


During the war about 3,000 men were em- ployed here, turning out about 1,000 mus- kets daily, but requiring some portion of the works to be run nights.


The machinery for the manufacture of the enormous Hitchcock gun is completed, and experiments made thus far go to show the complete success of the undertaking. More than $75,000 has been expended in getting ready to make the gun.


The Alms-House and the Poor.


The Alms-house and City Farm are on Boston road, two miles from City Hall, and are under the care of Mr. A. S. Pease. From 41 to 51 poor people have been sup ported here the past year. Temporary out- door relief, in food, fuel, etc., was given to about 700 or 800 persons, by the Overseers of the Poor. The Truant School is also at the Alms-house, with Miss L. A. Bascom as teacher.


The city's hospitality has been dispensed to 1,304 persons, at the City Hall, during the year ending April 30, 1875.

Those under sentence make slippers, turning out about 1,200 pairs daily. Their labor is contracted for by L. C. Smith, at $48 per year for each person in house of correction. The order and neat- ness which prevail are heartily commended by the legislative committee, as also are the humane and intelligent management. Meeting on the Sabbath with preaching at 9 A. M. Sunday-school, conducted by the chaplain, at 4 P. M., to which visitors are not admitted, unless they aid in this service.

tion on the Boston and Albany Railroad, and seven miles from the City Hall. The ride there may be pleasantly made from the Massasoit House in twenty minutes, any week-day morning, all the way by cars. A stage-ride a mile farther brings one to Jenks- ville in Ludlow, which is " set on a hill," while below is Chicopee River, the bound- ary line of Springfield on that side.


Indian Orchard (see map in front of DI- RECTORY,) is laid out with straight, wide streets, crossing each other at right angles, and contains over 1,800 inhabitants. There are two dry-goods and millinery, one cloth- ing, four grocery and two apothecary, a boot and shoe manufactory and three stores in the same line ; a cigar manufactory and store, a wheelwright shop, two livery sta- bles, two meat markets, one fish market, one tin store, one hardware store, and one flour, feed and agricultural tool store, post-office, two hotels, Library Hall, two cotton mills, one omnibus line, and a horse railroad, res- ervoir, gas-works, etc. A number of new buildings have been erected the past year, including a French church costing some $15,000. Mr. G. H. Chapman of Chicopee, and H. K. Wight of Indian Orchard, are erect- ing, on the corner of Main and Oak streets, a three-story brick block, the lower floor of which will be occupied by stores, and above them will be a public hall, offices, etc. On the land next west of this block the same parties are preparing to build a smaller block to be occupied by stores and tene- ments. Mr. Lucius Simonds has nearly completed a large two-story tenement house on Worcester street, and Messrs. A. E. Lyon and William Kent have each recently finished and occupied dwelling-houses on Oak street. During the coming season there will be a number of buildings erected for tenements and other purposes, and will doubtless prove to be good investments, as there is now a scarcity of tenements and a


prospect of a greater demand to accommo- date the employes of the new shops and the increased help of the Indian Orchard mills, made necessary by the enlargements of one of their mills. The railroad from Athol to Springfield adds much to the pros- perity of this village, and a branch to Chic- opee Falls has been proposed.


Indian Orchard mills and much of the land in this vicinity are owned by J. C. Howe & Co. of Boston; Charles H. Dalton is President of the corporation, and Edward Atkinson, Treasurer, both gentlemen belong- ing to Boston; Charles J. Goodwin is Su- perintendent, and A. S. Packard, Paymas- ter. This corporation has made an exten- sive addition to their No. 2 mill, which will materially increase the capacity, and neces- sitate employing new help. The mills, with the above addition, contain 1,145 looms and nearly 50,000 spindles, and turn out from 160,000 to 170,000 yards per week of shirt- ings, denims, and sheetings; two kinds of the latter are made, one of standard quality, the other a lighter fabric.


A new enterprise in this village is the Chapman Valve Manufacturing Co., with a capital stock of $75,000. John T. Lang- ford of Boston, is Treasurer and Agent, and Jason Giles is Superintendent. The buildings comprise a three-story brick shop, 100 feet by 35, and a brick foundry 70 feet by 40. These buildings were erected for this company by the Indian Orchard mills, and leased to them for a term of years. They manufacture steam and gas valves, which are said to rank as well if not better, than those of any other manufacture. Their shops have been running but a short time, and the demand is such that it is difficult to fill the orders. There are now about 50 hands employed by this Company, but this number will be increased to 100 as soon as the necessary machinery can be put in, and provision made for the new help.
