Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-First Annual Report of the Municipal Government of the City of Somersworth, N. H: For the Financial Year Ending February 28, 1914 During my administration the state road has been extended on High street, from Pearl street to Washington street, and the same treated with oil. The macadam on High street, from Washington street to Fore street, has been relaid and macadam has also been put in on Washington street, from Orange to Main street; also on West High street. State road has been built from Washington street to the Rochester line, a stretch of about two and three - quarters miles. The idea of having one man retained by the street department to take care of the waste which accrues in the streets from day to day has been tried out during the past year and has proved a success. The chlorine treatment for purification of water has been installed at the filter bed. This system does the work desired in so far as needed in the eradication of germs, bacteria, and things of a like nature, which may be found in the water of Salmon Falls river. A compressed air fire gong apparatus has been placed in working order, which I feel will be a great improvement on conditions as they have existed for the last few years. Many minor changes for the better have been made, and I believe that the administration, just passed, can truly be classed as progressive. I have been as economical as possible under the conditions prevailing to-day, but with prices high, it is a practical impossibility to accomplish anything without the expenditure of much money.
