The precinct contracted with this company for water to supply twenty-five hydrants at an annual rental of thirty dollars each. This contract continued for ten years, during wliich time the number of hydrants was increased to thirty-three. At the end of this time, a difference of opinioni existed between the precinct and the aqueduct company as to what the service was worth, and a new contract was not made till 1899. A contract was then signed under which the aqueduct company was to furnish water for thirty-three .hydrants, for ten years, at twenty dollars per hydrant per year; the precinct to take water for flushing sewers and sprinkling streets without extra charge.
In 1896, the Gamewell electric system of fire alarm was installed.
The facilities of the fire district for extinguishing fires con- sist of thirty-three hydrants located in different parts of the village, the hand-engine purchased in 1858, a Bangor aerial truck, and 2,500 feet of hose. The personnel of the fire depart- ment consists of three firewards, the Bristol Fire Engine com- pany, and the Bristol Hose company, No. 2. The engine company is composed, nominally, of forty men, of which Frank Roby is the present foreman. The hose company is composed of fourteen men, who have entire charge of the hose attached to the hydrants at time of fire. Clarence A. Smith is foreman, and Fred L. King is assistant.
Following is a list of firewards. The date at the left shows the year when elected; the figures at the right indicate the number of consecutive years served.

THE BRISTOL AQUEDUCT COMPANY
The Bristol Aqueduct company was organized Mar. 31, 1886, with a capital of $20,000, divided into 400 shares of $50 each. The following were the incorporators : Josiah Minot, George M. Cavis, Cyrus Taylor, Richard W. Musgrove, Jere- miah A. Haynes, William A. Berry, Charles W. Fling, Clar- ence N. Merrill, Edward M. Drake, Benjamin F. Perkins, Frank P. Fields, David Mason, Ira A. Chase, Gustavus B. Sanborn.
The first annual meeting was held June 10, 1886, when the following directors were elected : G. M. Cavis, B. F. Perkins, Cyrus Taylor, W. A. Berry, R. W. Musgrove, I. A. Chase, C. W. Fling. B. F. Perkins was elected president; G. M. Cavis, treasurer, and I. A. Chase, secretary.
The pipe was laid in the summer of 1886, from the lake to the village by Goodhue & Birnie, under contract. John H. Brown represented the aqueduct company as superintendent, assisted by M. W. White and B. F. Perkins. The pipe laid was mostly sheet-iron and cement, and its durability has shown the wisdom of its use. Iron pipe was used from the lake to the gate-house, in crossing streams and in some other places. The size of the pipe used was fourteen inches from the intake in the lake to the gate-house ; from the gate-house to Union street, ten inches ; thence to Central square it is eight inches via Lake street, and six inches via North Main street. These two pipes

unite at Central square. A six-inch pipe also crosses the river near the stable of John W. Wilbur & Co., to supply the territory south of the river. The remainder of the pipe is mainly four inches.
The water of Newfound lake is of exceptional purity, as has been demonstrated by analysis, and Bristol is favored with a water supply that is not surpassed by the most favored town or city in the state. Besides supplying the fire precinct with water for fire purposes, the company supplies two-thirds or more of the families of the village with water for domestic uses. The fall from the crest of the dam at the lake to Central square is 125 feet.
The present officers of this company are Karl G. Cavis, president ; secretary and treasurer, Marshall W. White ; direc- tors, Karl G. Cavis, Benjamin F. Perkins, Marshall W. White, Frank P. Fields, Richard S. Danforth, Dr. Ferdinand A. Stilr lings, and Ira A. Chase. George M. Cavis was treasurer till his death in 1891, and Mr. White has since filled this position, Smith D. Fellows was superintendent till 1898, when he was succeeded by Ira B. Burpee, who still fills this position.

THE BRISTOL ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY
In the fall of 1889, Col. Samuel P. Train, of Boston, pro- posed to erect an electric light plant in Bristol and light the streets of the village with fifty 32-candle-power lamps for $500 per annum for ten years. The voters of the town met in town meeting, Oct. 16, of that year, for the purpose of considering this proposition. Only 166 voters were present, and as money could not be raised at a special town meeting except one-half of the legal voters (225) of the town were present, the meeting adjourned to Oct. 26. At the adjourned meeting it was voted, 234 in favor and none against, "that the town appropriate $500 annually for ten years for lighting the streets of the village with electricity," and "that the selectmen be fully empowered to negotiate with Col. Samuel P. Train, or any other responsible party, to light the village of Bristol for ten years, at a sum not exceeding $500 per year."
Through the efforts of George A. Emerson, Esq., a local company was organized with a capital of $8,000, divided into 160 shares of $50 each. The incorporators were Cyrus Taylor, Charles H. Dickinson, Charles Boardman, Franklin Fogg, Sey- mour H. Dodge, Ira A. Chase, Albert Blake, Charles H. Whit- ton, Charles H. Tukey, Herbert H. Follansbee, William A. Berry, Frank A. Gordon, Charles W. Fling, David Mason, Lewis W. Fling, Benjamin F. Perkins, George A. Emerson, Marshall W. White, George H. Calley, Sam Follansbee, Frank S. Kirk, Smith D. Fellows, Richard S. Danforth, Orrin B. Ray, Kenson E. Dearborn, Austin H. Roby.
The company organized Nov. 6, 1889, by the election of the following directors : George A. Emerson, Esq., David Mason, Marshall W. White, George C. Currier, Dr. George H. Calley, Henry C. Whipple, and Ira A. Chase, Esq. The directors organized with the choice of Mr. Emerson as president, and Mr. Currier, vice-president. Austin H. Roby was elected secretary and treasurer, but he left town soon after, and these positions have since been filled by David M. Calley.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS, TELEGRAPHS AND TELEPHONES
The dynamo was placed in the basement of Taylor & Gor- don's shop and started in March, following, water-power being obtained at a rental of one dollar per day, on a ten years' lease. In June, 1899, the company purchased the Rollins saw-mill and privilege of N. B. Cloutman for $2,500, and erected, a few rods below the site of the old mill, a new dam and a brick power- house, 32 × 48 feet, one story, in which was placed a new alter- nating two-phase dynamo, of the capacity of 150 kilowats, of 16,000 frequency, eight poles, 1,000 revolutions, and capable of producing from each phase 1,200 sixteen-candle-power lights at the switch-board, with a voltage of 2,400. The power to operate this dynamo is a double thirty-three-inch Hunt wheel, under four- teen feet head, having a capacity of 175 horse-power. The dam was constructed under the supervision of Clarence N. Merrill ; the dynamo was set up, placed in running order and connections made by George A. Emerson, assisted by George F. Buttrick. These improvements involved an expenditure of $20,000; and the capital of the company was increased to $16,000.
Soon after this plant was completed, the company sold to a company in New Hampton electric current sufficient for three hundred sixteen-candle-power lamps for $700 annually. The line to New Hampton was erected a few months later, and New Hampton village is now lighted with electricity generated at the power-house in Bristol. The Bristol Electric Light company now furnishes Bristol with eighty-eight street lamps of thirty- two-candle-power at an annual rental of fourteen dollars each. A large number of residences, places of business, and public buildings are lighted with the electric current. For some years the current has been supplied all night.
The present board of directors has served several years and is as follows: George A. Emerson, Esq., George C. Currier, Simeon H. Cross, Clarence N. Merrill, Dr. Channing Bishop, Charles Boardman, and Charles H. Dickinson.
TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE LINES
The first telegraph wire to Bristol was put up, about 1870, by the Northern Telegraph company. The line was erected along the highway from the south. This company was absorbed a few years later by the Atlantic and Pacific, which extended the line to Haverhill and St. Johnsbury, Vt. The Atlantic and Pacific was absorbed by the Western Union, and in Septem- ber, 1879, the line north of Bristol was discontinued, and the line on the south removed from the highway to the railroad. The first telegraph office was in Cyrus Taylor's store, and Henry A. Taylor was the operator. After a while, it was removed to the drug store of Edward S. Foster; thence to the store of Oscar L. Rand in the Rollins block. Charles H. Dick- ·

inson succeeded Mr. Rand as agent, about 1874, and removed the office to White's block where he still retains it.
The Tilton & New Hampton Telegraph and Telephone company extended a telegraph line to Bristol in the summer of 1892. A year or two later, this became a telephone line and is still used as such. In 1894, the Bell Telephone company opened a public office in George H. Kendall's store, and the next year George A. Robie established a local line in Bristol, Bridge- water, Hebron, and Alexandria. Mr. Robie united his line with the Bell Telephone line for outside business, in August, 1899, with the exchange located in his store on Pleasant street, which is still continued.
Various local and outside companies have obtained rights to erect wires and transact business in town, but only the above named have established lines.

MASONIC FRATERNITY
Organized Free Masonry in Bristol has had a history of thirty-eight years. Aug. 10, 1865, a dispensation was granted by Worshipful Grand Master J. E. Sargent for an organization of Masons in Bristol, which was effected. William A. Berry was elected W. M .; Ira S. Chase, S. W .; Moses H. Merrow, J. W. ; Cyrus Taylor, treasurer, and Levi D. Johnson, secretary. A goodly number of Masons were raised and the foundations laid for the large and prosperous lodge that exists to-day. The charter for Union Lodge, No. 79, was granted June 13, 1866, by Most Worshipful Grand Master John H. Rowell. The charter members consisted of those named above and Valorus A. Seavey, Edwin C. Lewis, James C. Parker, Horace L. Ingalls, Jason C. Draper, Lewis W. Fling, Samuel K. Mason, William Dyer, George M. Cavis, Marshall W. White, Oscar F. Fowler, Lorenzo D. Day, Hadley B. Fowler, Oscar F. Morse, Hosea Q. Sargent, and George M. Wooster. The organization under the charter occurred June 22, 1866, when the same offi- cers were elected as had been serving under the dispensation and they were installed the same day. The first communication was held in a hall in the second story of Rollins's block and the lodge had its home there for about four years, when it removed to a hall over the town hall. In December, 1871, the records of the lodge, which were in the possession of its secretary, Allen W. Bingham, were destroyed by fire.
Feb. 4, 1873, the lodge removed to a hall in the attic of what is now Robie's block, occupying it in common with Cardi- gan Lodge, I. O. O. F. This event was appropriately celebrated. A special communication was held at two o'clock for the pur- pose of conferring the third degree of Masonry. At five o'clock a banquet was served by the ladies of the Congregational society in vestry hall, in the same block, to which the wives, daugh- ters, and sisters of Masons were invited. Following the ban- quet, a public installation of the officers-elect took place at the town hall to which the general public was invited. This was followed by an admirable address on "Historic Masonry,"
432
HISTORY OF BRISTOL
by Rev. Silas Ketchum, of Bristol, chaplain of the Grand Lodge. A pleasant feature of the day was the presentation to the lodge, by the widow of the late Brother S. B. Dow, of a sword carried by him to all parts of the world in his voyages as captain of a merchant vessel. This sword has been constantly used since by the tyler in the discharge of his duties.
In January, 1876, Union Lodge and Cardigan Lodge removed from Robie's block to a larger and more convenient hall in Post-office block. This removal was also appropriately celebrated, and at the first communication held in this hall, Jan. 14, there was a public installation of its officers, and a banquet was served at Hotel Bristol. In this hall the lodge had two years of prosperity and pleasant relations with its fellow occu- pants, but the remodeling of Abel's block afforded an opportu- nity to obtain a hall for its exclusive use, and Sept. 27, 1878, the lodge leased this new hall for five years, at seventy-five dol- lars a year, and it was fitted for its special use. The walls and ceiling were finely frescoed with masonic emblems, and it was furnished at a cost of about $500.
On the 3rd of December, at 4 p. m., a special communica- tion was held in the new hall for the purpose of dedicating it in due and ancient form to Masonic uses. The following Grand Lodge officers officiated : Solon A. Carter, M. W. G. M .; supported by W. A. Clough, Jun. G. D. ; J. Frank Webster, S. G. D .; A. W. Baker, J. G. W .; Horace A. Brown, S. G. W .; John H. Rowell, D. G. M. ; John C. Neal, master of oldest lodge ; Chas. N. Towle, G. T. ; Jas. W. Hildreth, G. M .; F. B. Coch- rane, E. C. Lewis, G. S .; Robert Ford, G. P .; Joseph Kidder, G. C .; Ira A. Chase, orator; George P. Cleaves, G. S .; C. C. Danforth, G. T .; Frank H. Daniell, S. Condon, Jr., G. S. These ceremonies over, the lodge was called from labor to refreshments, and marched with their ladies to the vestry of the M. E. church, where a banquet was served. Later, a social hour was passed at the town hall and there was speaking by visiting brethren and others, and singing.
When the new bank block was erected, in 1893, Union Lodge leased the entire third story, and the rooms were arranged and finished on plans furnished by the lodge. These rooms consist of main hall 32 x 40 feet, with large reception and prepa- ration rooms, kitchen, and banquet hall all connected. All the rooms are finished in cypress and are finely furnished, and the walls of each are frescoed, those of the main hall having masonic designs as has also the carpet on the floor. All the rooms are heated by steam and lighted with electricity. The furniture, and in fact, all the paraphernalia of the lodge are first-class, and the rooms are, all things considered, among the finest in the state. There was expended in furnishing the hall, $500.
Oct. 2, 1895, the hall was dedicated in due and ancient form
433
FRATERNAL SOCIETIES
to the uses of Masonry. The ceremonies commenced at two o'clock at which time the lodge-room and the rooms adjoining were packed with Masons and their ladies. Union Lodge was opened without ceremony and the officers of the Grand Lodge were escorted in and took their respective stations as follows : C. C. Hayes, M. W. G. M .; H. A. Marsh, R. W. D. G. M .; John McLane, R. W. S. G. W .; John Pender, R. W. J. G. W .; George P. Cleaves, R. W. G. S .; Rev. H. B. Smith, R. W. G. C .; B. S. Kingsman, W. S. G. D .; John K. Wilson, W. J. G. D .; Charles C. Danforth, W. G. M .; Charles W. Fling, W. G. S. S .; Wilmer C. Cox, W. G. J. S .; David M. Calley, W. G. T .; William A. Berry, oldest master of the lodge; Richard W. Musgrove, G. P. Gen. John H. Brown represented the archi- tect. The ceremonies of dedication followed, after which a fine address was delivered by Ira A. Chase, Esq. At six o'clock, a banquet was served in the lodge banqueting hall and in the hall below, where plates were laid for 150 people. After the banquet, a reception was tendered the grand master and other grand lodge officers. At seven o'clock, Worshipful Master Fred H. Ackerman rapped to order, and the program of the evening commenced. There were interesting remarks from all the grand lodge officers present and Congressman H. M. Baker. Then came a concert by the Adelina Concert company, whose music was exceptionally fine. Interspersed were vocal selections by Mrs. Katherine Prescott Crafts and Miss Annie E. Bailey, and impersonations by Karl Marshall White. Following the reception and concert, a ball was given at the town hall, which continued till twelve o'clock.
The lodge has had a prosperous career. The total number uniting with the lodge since its organization has been 223 ; the membership in January, 1903, Was III.
The following is a list of the masters and secretaries with year of election. In May, 1871, the date of election was changed from May to January and the first election thereafter occurred in January, 1873.

Cyrus Taylor was the first treasurer of the lodge. He served two years and was succeeded by George M. Cavis, who served ten years; James M. Bishop, one year; Ebenezer K. Pray, six years ; Robert A. Horner, four years, and Charles H. Dickinson, who has served the last thirteen years.
Union Lodge has been the only Masonic organization in town. There are, however, many Masons in town who are Knights Templar, members of Mount Horeb Commandery at Concord, and several who are members of other Masonic bodies.
INDEPENDENT ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS
The first lodge of Odd Fellows in Bristol was Pemigewasset Lodge, No. 27. It was organized Feb. 1, 1849, and had a brief existence, disbanding in 1855. Cardigan Lodge, No. 38, was organized in Alexandria, July 15, 1851, and Promise Lodge, No. 39, at Hebron, Feb. 10, 1852. Cardigan Lodge was nioved to Bristol in 1855, and Promise Lodge united with it in the early part of 1856. Cardigan Lodge had a fairly prosperous career and held regular meetings till 1865, but became dormant in 1866. It was resuscitated through the efforts of Grand Secre- tary Joseph Kidder, Oct. 2, 1871, and from that time till now has had a prosperous career. At its resuscitation the membership consisted of William A. Berry, Esq., George T. Crawford, Esq., Capt. Blake Fowler, Dr. Hadley B. Fowler, Joseph D. Kelley, Thomas E. Osgood, Moses B. Howe, Samuel Berry, and David S. Fowler.
This lodge held its meetings in a hall over the town hall till a hall was completed in the attic of Boardman's new block, now Robie's, in 1872, to which it removed, and there it remained till January, 1876, when it removed to a hall in Post-office block. It occupied this hall in connection with the Masons till the latter withdrew to the Abel block in September, 1878. Cardigan Lodge then refurnished its hall. The walls and ceiling were finely frescoed, an emblematic carpet placed on the floor, and a five- globe chandelier hung, the whole at a cost of $700.
435
FRATERNAL SOCIETIES
This hall was dedicated to the uses of Odd Fellowship, May 22, 1879. At this time, the various chairs were filled as follows: Rev. Luther T. McKinney, R. W. G. M .; Henry A. Randolph, grand marshal; H. B. Fowler, grand herald ; William A. Berry, herald of the south; George H. Fowler, herald of the west ; Frank R. Sawyer, herald of the east; Pettingill G. Carleton, herald of the north ; Joseph Kidder, grand chaplain.
Following these ceremonies, 175 repaired to the vestries of the Free Baptist church and partook of a banquet. From the vestries all repaired to the town hall where a large audience had already gathered. Here Dr. H. B. Fowler presided. After a piano solo and a song by Mrs. R. W. Musgrove, Grand Master Mckinney delivered an address on Odd Fellowship.
Aug. 5, 1889, Cardigan Lodge took a lease for a term of years of the second floor of Robie's block, which it still occu- pies. This floor consists of a suite of five rooms. The main hall is 28 x 35 feet ; the parlor, connected by folding doors, 20 X 20 feet ; it also has an ante-room, reception room, and property room. Altogether the rooms are among the best in the state. This lodge has a membership of 147.
In April, 1901, the lease was renewed, and between $500 and $600 was expended in refurnishing and beautifying the hall. A steel ceiling of attractive design was put in, a new carpet placed on the floor, new canopies erected, walls painted or papered, and electric lights put in. This event was celebrated, together with the eighty-second anniversary of the introduction of Odd Fellowship into the United States, on the evening of Apr. 26, by a fine concert in the hall given by the Imperial Hand Bell Ringers, and a banquet at Hotel Bristol, at which 175 plates were laid.
Among those who served as N. G. of Cardigan Lodge between 1855 and 1862 were Charles M. Rollins, Blake Fowler, James T. Sanborn, G. P. Gibbs, Samuel K. Mason, Edward Quinn, and Joseph F. Rollins.
Among those who served as N. G. of Promise Lodge or of Cardigan Lodge, previous to 1876, when the records are first available, are W. A. Berry, George T. Crawford, Samuel Page, David S. Fowler, Moses B. Howe, B. T. Marston, Thomas E. Osgood, D. B. Perkins, Henry A. Randolph, Simeon H. Cross, Meshech G. Chandler, Joseph D. Kelley, Samuel H. Rollins, George H. Fowler.
