Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Glimpses of Worcester and Lake Quinsigamond: With a Description of the Trolley Rides by the Consolidated and Connections The city has a fine water system, with a supply abundant enough to care for its rapid and future growth; is admirably adapted by its purity, for all manufacturing purposes, and is furnished to large users at a low cost. It also has an elabo rate double system of sewerage, which passes through a successful method of purification; and its other necessities as a residential city, its educational advantages, churches, etc., are in the first rank. From its early settlement, and its intense loyalty in the various epochs of disturbances, previous to, and during the Revolution, it is rich in historical matter, and has within its borders many places of interest. Perhaps most important among these is a bronze plate on the steps leading to the City Hall, marking, as near as possible, the spot where was read for the first time on Massachusetts soil, the Declara tion of Independence, the great document of freedom being read from the porch of the old South Church, which stood on this site, while the messenger, on his way to Boston, stopped to change horses.
