Thirty-nine citizens have represented two wards. About a third
of these cases were occasioned by the altered division of the wards
in 1838. One citizen has represented three wards. Showing that
five hundred and sixty-nine citizens have served in the Common
Council, eighty-two of whom have deceased, five while in office.
NOTE.

COMMON COUNCIL.
William Bowes Bradford, ward 3, elected 1822, did not qualify
himself, declining to be sworn, there being then no provision for
affirmation, except for Quakers.
Lucius Manlius Sargent, ward 6, elected for 1827, declined.
Henry D. Gray and Isaac Harris, ward 1 ; Eleazer Howard,
ward 2, and Joseph H. Thayer, ward 9, (now 8,) elected for 1828,
declined prior to the organization.
Samuel Thaxter, ward 6, elected for 1830, declined.
William Foster, ward 6, elected for 183], declined.
John Boles, ward 3, reelected for 1838, declined.
The Junior of George Morey omitted 1829.
Asa Adams, ward 3, took the intermediate name of Perry, 1830.
The Junior of Joshua Seaver, ward 6, omitted 1833.
The Junior of Henry Fowle, ward 2, omitted 1837.
The Junior of Francis Brinley, ward 10, omitted 1838.
Washington P. Gragg, ward 4, spelt Gregg since 1836.
There have been four successfully contested elections.
The first, Feb. 22, 1830, vacated the seat of a member from
ward 6, on the ground that " closing the poll before the hour at
which the voters were notified it would be closed, was a violation
of the rights of the voters."
The second, May 7, 1835, vacated the seats of the members of
ward 3, who were returned as having been elected at an adjourn-
ed meeting, Dec. 11, 1834, on the ground of irregular proceeding
to render the whole number of votes certain by taking the highest
number of votes for candidates on each opposing ticket; adjourn-
ment of the meeting by the sole authority of the warden, and
other irregularities at the annual election, December 8.
The third case, March 7, 1839, vacated the seats of three mem-
bers of ward 12, on the ground that a number of illegal voters suf-
ficient to effect the choice, voted at the polls.
The fourth, Feb. 9, 1843, vacated the seats of three members
67
from ward 1, returned as elected at the adjourned meeting, Dec.
14, on the ground that four votes for non-resident candidates,
(*after having been first thrown out by the ward officers,) were
counted at the annual election, December 32, thereby preventing
the choice of two other candidates, who, by excluding the said
four votes, were by the decision of the Council, declared elected,
leaving one vacancy.
The election of Mayor for 1845, was more warmly contested
than on any former year. There were not less than eight several
ballotings by the citizens. At the eighth trial, on the 21st of Feb-
ruary, Thomas A. Davis was elected.
In the meantime, from January to February 27, 1845, William
Parker, one of the Aldermen, having been elected Chairman of
the Board of Aldermen, performed the duties of Mayor.
In 1844, the office of City Attorney was abolished.
The words in the Catalogue, " see No." — refer to wards.
*This fact was admitted though not stated in the report of the Committee.
