Book Description

Excerpt from Sixty-first Annual Report of the City of Rochester, New Hampshire: For the Year Ending December 31st, Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-Two In his speech at Faneuil Hall in Boston, Daniel Webster said: Men hang out signs indicative of their respective trades shoemakers hang out a gigantic shoe, a jeweler a monster watch, and a dentist a gold tooth. But in the mountains of New Hamp shire, Almighty God has hung out a sign to show that here he makes men. It is our duty as city officials to maintain this heritage, as advertised by continuing to provide the facilities necessary to make Rochester not only a progressive city but a community in which one wants to live. The Charter of our city has been amended during the years so that, as of today, we have only four departments. The Fire and Police are departments for the protection of our citizens and those who are guests in this community; our Public Works for the maintenance of our highways, sewers, and the operation of our Water Division; and our Department of Education.
