MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT.
The Merrimack County Savings Bank was the next bank to be incorporated. The first board of officials comprised: Lyman D. Stevens, president ; David A. Warde, vice-president ; John Kimball, treasurer; John M. Hill, Abel B. Holt, Woodbridge Odlin, George A. Cummings, Calvin Howe, Moses T. Willard, Ephraim W. Wood- ward, William M. Chase, Henry McFarland, George W. Crockett, Daniel Holden, Isaac A. Hill, and Benjamin A. Kimball, trustees. The president and the treasurer have continued in their respective offices from the beginning to the present time (1900).
The first deposit in the institution was made by Isaac A. Hill, on June 1, 1870. This bank began business on the second floor of Minot & Company's building on School street, remaining there until the Mechanicks Bank moved to the Board of Trade building, when the savings bank followed and occupied the rooms in common. The teller of the Merrimack County Bank, Frank P. Andrews, began his services as clerk in September, 1872, and has remained to the present time.
In 1872 the legislature chartered the Loan and Trust Savings Bank, whose organization was effected by the choice of these officers : Jonathan Everett Sargent, president ; John V. Barron, treasurer; James S. Norris, Lewis Downing, Jr., John F. Jones, Silas Curtis, Howard A. Dodge, John H. Barron, George A. Fernald, Leander W. Cogswell, William K. McFarland, and Paul R. Holden, trustees. In 1878 George A. Fernald was elected treasurer, in place of Mr. Barron, deceased, and continued in this position until his removal from Con- cord. This bank carried on its business for many years in connec- tion with the State Capital Bank, occupying the same room, but in 1897 the bank moved to its present location north of the National Bank, in order to meet its increasing business. The officers are John F. Jones, president ; Fred N. Ladd, treasurer.
The Penacook Savings Bank was incorporated in 1869, and on its first board of trustees were Nehemiah Butler, Henry H. Amsden, Henry H. Brown, Isaac K. Gage, John C. Gage, John A. Holmes, Jolin Sawyer, John S. Moore, Ezra S. Harris, W. H. Allen, Enoch G. Wood, John C. Linehan, David Abbott, Moses U. Bean, John S. Brown. Henry H. Brown was president, and Samuel F. Brown, treasurer. The banking rooms were in the wooden block near the canal on the east side of Main street, and afterwards in Exchange block. In 1878 misfortunes overtook this institution, and measures were taken to close the business, which was finally done in 1884. The assignees appointed by the court to wind up the institution were Samuel F. Brown and Edgar H. Woodman.
Concord's first insurance company seems to have been the company

incorporated at the December session of the legislature in 1824, and called " The New England Fire Insurance Company at Concord." The president was William A. Kent; secretary, Albe Cady; treas- urer, George Kent; directors, William A. Kent, Timothy Chandler, Stephen Ambrose, Richard Bradley, Robert Davis, John Greenough, Parker Noyes, Philip Brown, and James Thorn.
Another company was chartered in June, 1825, known as " New Hampshire Mutual Fire Insurance Company at Concord," having for officers, William A. Kent, president ; Albe Cady, secretary and treasurer ; William A. Kent, Stephen Ambrose, Robert Davis, Sam- uel Fletcher, Jacob B. Moore, and Timothy Chandler of Concord, Asa Freeman of Dover, John Rogers of Exeter, and Thomas D. Merrill of Epsom, directors.
These companies had their place of business in the Concord "Lower " Bank building, of which institution William A. Kent was cashier. At the same session of the legislature a charter was granted to a third company called the Merrimack County Fire Insurance Com- pany, the officials being Isaac Hill, president ; Samuel Morrill, secre- tary ; and Samuel Coffin, treasurer, with these three gentlemen and Francis N. Fiske, Jacob B. Moore, Horatio Hill, William Restieaux, John George, and James Wilson, the last of Pembroke, as directors. This company transacted business in an office in the Merrimack County Bank building, now the Historical Society.
These companies continued in operation many years, doing a sub- stantial amount of underwriting, though they by no means had the field to themselves, for foreign and American companies were sharp competitors.
In 1844 the New England Fire Insurance Company was incorpo- rated, and began business with Joseph Low, president ; John Whip- ple, treasurer; and William C. Prescott, secretary.
Two years later the Equitable Mutual Fire Insurance Company was incorporated by the legislature. Of this company John Lancas- ter was president ; Cyrus Hill, treasurer ; and Mitchell Gilmore, Jr., secretary.
The year 1847 saw another insurance company chartered, of which Josiah Stevens was president ; Calvin Ainsworth, treasurer; and Arthur Fletcher, secretary. This was named Columbian Mutual Fire Insurance Company.
,And in 1848 still another company with an entirely different object was incorporated, called New Hampshire Mutual Health Insur- ance Company, whose affairs were managed by Matthew Harvey, president ; William P. Foster, treasurer; and A. C. Blodgett, secre- tary.
665
MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT.
The same year the Union Mutual Fire Insurance Company was organized, its offieers being Jacob A. Potter, president; Asa Fowler, treasurer ; and Jonathan E. Lang, secretary.
The next insurance company, the People's Mutual Fire Insurance Company, was chartered in 1851. Cyrus Barton was president ; Joseph Robinson, treasurer ; and Eleazer Jackson, secretary.
In 1855 the following companies were doing fire insurance busi- ness in Concord, : "New Hampshire Mutual Fire," " Merrimack Mutual," "New England Mutual," "Equitable Mutual," " Union Mutual," and " People's Mutual," but ten years later every com- pany except the "Equitable Mutual," whose officers were Caleb Par- ker, president ; Robert C. Osgood, treasurer; and Mitchell Gilmore, seeretary, had gone out of business.
For many years insurance in New Hampshire was almost wholly effected by foreign companies, local underwriting being confined to the operations of town mutual associations, but in 1885 came a con- dition in insurance methods which proved to be as thorough as it was unprecedented. The legislature of that year passed a law pop- ularly termed the "valued policy clause " law, which met with bitter opposition from the great insurance companies doing business in the state. No sooner had this law taken effect than these companies, with scarcely an exception, declined to assume another risk, and with- drew from the state in a body. Fifty-eight companies ceased to do business, leaving the people to protect their own interests as best they could. Few crises were ever met with deeper resolution or overcome with greater success. New Hampshire was now compelled to do its own insuring, and in this juncture of affairs the course that Concord took is not without interest.
Within three years, nine well established companies had been organized in Concord, and many of them were largely the creations of Concord money.
The names of these companies were as follows: Aetna Mutual,- Frank A. MeKean, president ; Obadiah Morrill, secretary. American Manufacturers' Mutual,-Almon D. Tolles, president ; Obadiah Mor- rill, secretary. Concord Mutual,-Samuel C. Eastman, president ; Rufus P. Staniels, secretary. Home Manufacturers' and Traders' Mutual,-Frank A. MeKcan, president ; Obadiah Morrill, secretary. Manufacturers' and Merchants' Mutual,-Edward G. Leach, presi- dent ; Lyman Jackman, secretary. Phenix Mutual,-Luther S. Morrill, president; Lyman Jackman, secretary. State Mutual,- Frank A. MeKean, president; Obadiah Morrill, secretary. Capital Fire Insurance Company, Ai B. Thompson, president ; Lyman Jack- man, secretary. This was a stock company with a capital of fifty
666
HISTORY OF CONCORD.
thousand dollars, since increased to two hundred thousand dollars. Fire Underwriters' Association,-Lyman Jackman, president; Thomas M. Lang, secretary. Capital, ten thousand dollars.
In 1900 these companies were all doing business, some with the original capital, some with a larger capitalization, while one new company was added called Home Dwelling House Association, with Solon A. Carter, president; and Obadiah Morrill, secretary.
The narration of industries and trades, together with their results, must pause at the opening of the new century. Fifty years hence it may prove of exceeding interest to glance at the Concord of to-day as portrayed in official census and reports.
In 1900 the population of the city was 19,632. The assessed val uation reached $11,393,694. The number of polls was given as 5,378. Taxes were assessed amounting to $241,588, on which the rate was $21.50 per $1,000. The value of city property, including water-works, parks, library, buildings, fire apparatus, horses, police station, office furniture, and land, was $1,079,646. The industries had invested capital amounting to $4,917,112, with products valued at $6,515,620. Employed throughout the city were. 3,305 males and 510 females, earning in wages $1,820,847. Conspicuous in the rec- ords of the old town were the appropriations for schools and high- ways, and conspicuous both have continued to be throughout suc- ceeding years. In 1900 $65,000 were expended for Concord schools and $40,000 for our streets and highways.
Thus has been recounted throughout this chapter the material development of Concord. Almost year by year the growth and con- sequent prosperity of the town and its successor, the city, may be followed. From that remote period when the threatened settlers petitioned Governor Wentworth for soldiers to protect them and their rude habitations against the perils of savage warfare, down through the years to the beginning of the twentieth century, Concord has done her part. Small and unimportant as our city is when com- pared to municipalities containing their millions, yet the history of our beginning and our gradual growth in material, social, and edu- cational matters forms no insignificant part of the history of New England. To the historian of the future, annals telling of Concord's life will be of inestimable value. Whoever would read aright and understand how it came to pass that this hardy corner of the United States lias exerted so powerful an influence over the economics and politics of the republic, must repair to the sources of some typical and sturdy community and there learn the secret. And what com- munity has been more typical or more sturdy than Concord ?

CHAPTER XVIII. WEATHER RECORD FROM 1856 TO 1900, INCLUSIVE.
WILLIAM W. FLINT.
The late William L. Foster, from the year 1856 to the end of a busy and eminent professional career, kept a continuous record of the weather. Upon the organization of the Government Weather Bureau he became one of the first voluntary observers, beginning in 1884 and continuing until his death, August 13, 1897, when he was succeeded by the writer in that capacity. Observations were made by Judge Foster at his residence in the city proper. For several summers previous to 1897, and continuously since June 22, 1897, they have been made in the western part of the city, at an elevation seventy-one feet higher than the former station, and at a distance of three miles therefrom.
Previous to 1868 self-registering maximum and minimum ther- mometers, though an invention of longer standing, were not used in connection with this record. Until that year, therefore, the daily maximum temperature could not be recorded, nor the daily mean temperature, which is half the sum of the maximum and the mini- mum ; and it should be added that the minimum temperatures recorded were only approximate, being those obtained by observation in the early morning. Since August, 1868, the maximum, the mini- mum, and the mean temperatures have been recorded daily.
The monthly mean temperatures contained in the following tables are not, as will be seen, the half sum of the maximum and minimum of the month ; but they are, in each case, the average of all the daily mean temperatures of the month. The mean temperature of the year is also the average of all the daily mean temperatures of the year.
The record of precipitation covers the entire period since 1856. These amounts are ascertained by means of the standard weather gauge, a cylindrical pail of about eight inches in diameter, whose contents, if water, are poured into a vessel of a diameter enough smaller to multiply the depth of the liquid by ten, rendering it easy to obtain a measurement accurate even to hundreths of an inch.
Up to November, 1884, snow had not been melted for the purpose of this record ; but it was estimated that an inch of snow would, upon the average, contain nine onc-hundredths of an inch of water. Since that date all snow and ice have been carefully melted and measured.
The following facts and figures have been gathered from the origi- nal records above described :
