Springfield.
OUR City was never more prosperous and promising than it is to-day. It has in the past twelve or fifteen years grown from the position of a thriving and well ordered village, to a city of from thirty to forty thousand inhabitants and taken on most decided metropolitan characteristics, both in its outside appearance and inside management and conduct.
Our borders are being enlarged rapidly-never so per- ceptibly as in the year 1873-and our suburban branches stretch from Chicopee on the north to Longmeadow on the south, and reach out towards the "Springfield Mountain " on the east, and "over the river" into the heart of West Springfield on the west; and besides all these outreaches, a healthy filling up " in our midst " is constantly going on.
New streets are added to our Directory map every year, and new buildings, alike added yearly to every street, whether new or old, and in no respect have we grown more or mightier than in our added wealth of churches and school-houses, and public buildings, among which latter are pleasingly prominent the new Hampden County Court House, the City Library Building and High School-house.
The new suburb of "Brightwood " at the north end, near the Chicopee line, which was simply mowing and tillage land not many months since, is now a busy and thriving locality, the new home of the Wason Manufacturing Com- pany and Talcott's Axle Forge, with the promise of other valuable industries to be located there at no distant day. Streets and avenues now appear where the mowing machine and raker and reaper went humming by only one season ago. Dwellings have been erected, and stores are already

SPRINGFIELD CITY DIRECTORY.
in contemplation and a busy and beautiful suburb is here already an established fact.
At the South end, in the neighborhood of Mill River, Fort Pleasant Avenue stretches from its southern bank away towards Longmeadow, with the promise of waking up our quiet neighbor at an early day. Personal and specula- tive improvements in grading and in the moving of old buildings, and in laying out beautiful sites for fine residences are here prominent and promise grand results to both the enterprising operators and to the growth and prosperity of the city as well.
At the eastward, the opening of streets, the grading of lots and a general brushing up on all sides, betokens a thrifty locality, and a prospective growth of no mean pro- portions in the immediate future. The contemplated rail- road to the southward, will, with its depot somewhere near Winchester Park at the junction of the Boston and Wilbra- ham roads undoubtedly become at once the nucleus of an eastern suburb, and a prominent and important one.
The new iron bridge of the Boston & Albany railroad over the Connecticut River is now being put in place and will be completed early the coming season, and it is earn- estly hoped that increased and improved depot facilities will be developed, and completed at the same time.
The business interests of the city are generally prosper- ous and successful, and there is a steady increase each year of small manufactures, and the addition to our population and wealth which they bring, are in the aggregate quite large, and gives us a good class of citizens, as one of the best results of this increase. The manufacture of the new Hitchcock gun at the Armory, for which preparations have been some time in progress, will bring new life to Uncle Sam's work-shops, where dullness has reigned supreme since the close of the war, and the city will soon feel the effects of this " new departure " of the government, at the Armory.
The Publishers of the Directory, who have had charge of the work since 1859, and have consequently kept close watch of the yearly growth and development of Spring- field, find more encouragement for the immediate future,

on the issue of the volume for 1873-4 than ever before, and have great pleasure in congratulating their patrons on the bright prospect which our beautiful and energetic city has before her.
The Directory herewith issued contains 10,083 names against 9,395 last year, and the growth has been since 1859 as follows: 1859-60, 3,971; 1860-61, 4,481; 1861-62, 4,607; 1862-63, 5,771; 1863-64, 6,181; 1864-65, 6,924; 1865-66, 6,558; 1866-67, 6,652 ; 1867-68, 7,509; 1868-69, 7,495; 1869-70, 7,635; 1870-71, 8,386 ; 1871-72, 8,716 ; 1872-73, 9,395, showing an increase each year over the preceding one, excepting the years of 1865-66 and 1866- 67, when the number dropped off a few hundred, but 1867- 68 more than made up for the deficiencies of those years, and since 1868 the growth has been very steady and prom- ising. Giving four persons to each name, as is customary in Directories, our population would now be 40,332; but this is undoubtedly something more than our actual count, and more than a census would give us, but nevertheless not far out of the way. The increase in the valuation of the city last year was over six millions of dollars. The re- turns for this year show a large gain, but the full amount is not yet ascertained by the Assessors.
Our twenty-first anniversary as a city occurred on the 23d of last May, and it must be gratifying indeed to all citizens and to outsiders as well, who are interested in our city and its welfare and increase, to have these assurances of perma- nent growth and development in starting out on its first year after becoming "of age."

Springfield in 1873.
GROWTH AND POPULATION OF THE CITY-PUBLIC IMPROVE- MENTS-NEW ENTERPRISES-THE SEASON'S PROMISE FOR TRADE AND INDUSTRY.
NEW and significant facts of Springfield's growth appear this year, and especially interest the readers of THE DIRECTORY. A new line of railroad is substantially completed, extending from this city north-east nearly fifty miles, (see map in front,) and cars will run over it in season for the horse show, or very soon afterward. Many towns are thus afforded advantages they did not have before for easy access to Springfield markets, and for cheap travel through here to the West and South And while their lumber, water-power, and granite and soap-stone quarries become more valuable, a larger number of their young people will come here to live. It is partly this tide of emigration from the country to the city, coming in here every year from many directions, which so rapidly increases our population, and supplies our shops with men and women "not afraid of work," and not likely to engage in "strikes" without cause.
The horse railroad has just been extended from the north end almost to Mill River, and up State street still farther east to the new Winchester park. This advance movement of a very con- servative corporation, is heartily approved by the people, and there is talk of lines of omnibuses to connect with it from Longmeadow and Chicopee.
Free letter delivery by carriers, who go several times a day over the thickly-settled portions of the city, is this summer established here by the post-office department. While it accommodates so many, and pays well the Government, the necessity for such service is another indication of the activity and intelligence of the whole community.

SPRINGFIELD CITY DIRECTORY.
The City Government is mending the public ways, with a zeal as surprising as it is praiseworthy. Sewers have been built in twenty- two streets the past year, Macadam was laid on seven, and on Mattoon street the Nicholson pavement was put down. The city now has twenty-six and a half miles of public sewers. The Town Brook, however, is too strait for duch use .. . It is, therefore, proposed to relieve that " classic stream " by building a grand main sewer, of sufficient depth and some six miles in length, from the north end. across the low lands of Bond and Ferry streets, and if possible through Dwight street southward, emptying into the Connecticut River near York street. Engineers have made the necessary sur- veys, and their reports are before the City Council. Fort Pleasant avenue has been opened one hundred feet wide from Mill street to the X road. Jefferson avenue is to be completed this season, one hundred and twenty-five feet wide, with a park through the middle, from North Main street to Chestnut, across the poor farm. The latter makes sixty-five valuable building lots, to be sold for the benefit of the city treasury. The poor people and the truant school are to be removed to a farm purchased for $8,000 on the Boston road, and on which buildings have been erected for them, costing some $45,000. Other important street improvements this season are the widening of Pine, Locust and High streets, of Bridge west of Main, and of North Main, the latter having eight feet added on each side from Arch to Chicopee line.
