Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Adjutant General's Office, Boston, Dec. 31, 1904. To His Excellency John L. Bates. Governor : — I have the honor to submit the annual report of this department for the year 1904. The militia has maintained the high standard of last year, the average attendance at ordered duty is the largest I have ever known and general earnestness pervades the entire force. For the manner of performance of duties I refer you to the reports of the Inspector General and his assistants. I desire to commend the force for its improve- ment and attention to duties. At this date the force has all compaDies required by law, except one recently disbanded. During the year Company L, Eighth Regiment, at Law- rence, was disbanded, and a new company formed in Law- rence to take its place. Company E, Eighth Regiment, was disbanded, and this vacancy remains unfilled. All organizations performed annual drill and camp duty as required by law, as follows : the First Brigade, except- ing First Regiment of Heavy Artillery, at the State camp ground ; the First Regiment of Heavy Artillery at New Bedford ; the Naval Brigade at New Bedford ; the First Cadets at Hingham ; the Second Cadets at Boxford ; and the Second Brigade at Manassas, Va., in connection with the army manoeuvres at that and adjoining places.

The Metropolitan District Commission is a unique multi-service agency with broad responsibihties for the preservation, main- tenance and enhancement of the natural, scenic, historic and aesthetic qualities of the environment within the thirty-four cit- ies and towns of metropolitan Boston. As city and town boundaries follow the middle of a river or bisect an important woodland, a metropolitan organization that can manage the entire natural resource as a single entity is essential to its protec- tion. Since 1893, the Metropolitan District Com- mission has preserved the region's unique resources and landscape character by ac- quiring and protecting park lands, river corridors and coastal areas; reclaiming and restoring abused and neglected sites and setting aside areas of great scenic beauty as reservations for the refreshment, recrea- tion and health of the region's residents. This open space is connected by a network Charles Eliot, the principle of landscaped parkways and bridges that force behind today's MDC. are extensions of the parks themselves. The Commission is also responsible for a scape for the enjoyment of its intrinsic val- vast watershed and reservoir system, ues; providing programs for visitors to 120,000 acres of land and water resources, these properties to encourage appreciation that provides pure water from pristine and involvment with their responsible use, areas to 2.5 million people.

  • Coast Artillery Companies 1901-1924
    Reference Guide 433 Coast Artillery Companies 1901-1924 Bolling W. Smith The following listing of serially numbered companies of coast artillery gives their locations and changes in designations from their creation in 1901 until 1924, when the separate company numbers were finally abolished. This list is best used in conjunction with “Coast Artillery Organization: A Brief Overview,” in the May 2008 Coast Defense Journal (Vol. 22 No. 2). Redesignations were effective in the year shown. The year shown for locations indicates that the company was at the new post in that year, but could have arrived there during the previous year. Units in parentheses in the headings indicate the units from which the companies were formed, either by redesignation of lettered companies of the seven artillery regiments in 1901, or by splitting existing companies of coast artillery. 1st Company (A/1st Artillery) 1916 – Fort Wint, PI 1901 – Fort Dade, FL 1917 – 13th Company, CD Manila & Subic Bays 1902 – Fort De Soto, FL 1917 – Fort Mills, PI 1907 – Fort Armstrong, TH 1922 – 4th Company, CAC 1908 – Fort Levett, ME 1924 – D/1st CA Regiment (HD), inactive 1910 – Fort McKinley, ME 1916 – Temp., Fort Sam Houston 5th Company (F/1st Artillery) 1916 – 1st Company, Fort McKinley, ME 1901 – Fort Screven, GA 1917 – 1st Company, CD Portland 1907 – Fort Williams, ME 1917 – A/6 Provisional Artillery Regiment 1916 – 2nd Company, Fort Williams, ME 1918 – A/51st Artillery Regiment, CAC 1917 – H/6th Provisional Artillery Regiment, CAC 1922 – 1st Company, CAC (additional designation) 1918 – H/51st Artillery Regiment, CAC 1924 – A/51st CA Regiment (TD), Fort Eustis, VA 1922 – 5th Company, CAC (additional designation) 1924 – F/43rd Artillery Regiment (Ry), inactive 2nd Company (B/1st Artillery) 1901 – Fort Trumbull, CT 6th Company (G/1st Artillery) 1903 – Fort H.G.

  • A List of Military Reservations and Concrete Gun Batteries 1890-1950
    Reference Guide 201 MODERN AMERICAN SEACOAST DEFENSES A LIST OF MILITARY RESERVATIONS AND CONCRETE GUN BATTERIES 1890-1950 Compiled by Mark A. Berhow © 2021, Mark Berhow Revision Date: February 27, 2021 Fort Michie (Great Gull Island, NY) Once part of the Harbor Defenses of Long Island Sound, NY, the island is now a national wildlife refuge. The large concrete structure in the forground is Battery J.M.K. Davis, built for a single 16-inch gun on a disappearing carriage. Photograph by Terry McGovern, 2003. 202 American Seacoast Defenses AMERICAN SEACOAST DEFENSES A LIST OF MILITARY RESERVATIONS AND CONCRETE GUN BATTERIES 1890-1945 This is an attempt to list all the concrete emplacements built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to hold seacoast armament of the “Modern era” (1890-1950). It includes four major generations of American coast defense construction—the Early Modern Program batteries (the “Endicott Board” and the “Taft Board”), the post-World War I batteries, and the WW II Modernization Program batteries—as well as those batteries built during emergency situations. Every effort has been made to make this list as accurate as possible, but it will most likely contain a number of errors and omissions. The author would greatly appreciate being contacted about any corrections. Fort and battery names used in this list are those perceived by the author as being the last official designation. Named batteries are listed by surname only, even though as many were designated by the full name of the person they were named after. See Designating US Seacoast Fortifications, War Department General Orders and Letters from the Adjutant General 1809-1950, compiled by Matthew Adams (privately published by the compiler, Australia, 2000) for more information on fort and battery names.
