“ The east part of the city is a plain occupied chiefly by factories, for which water-power is furnished by the river and a canal; the west part, which is almost wholly residential, extends over hills which command excellent views. Among the principal buildings are the city, hall, and the Jane Watson Reid Memorial Library. The city’s factory products increased in value from $12,804,805 in 1900 to $22,782,725 in 1905, or 77.9%. ”
