A CODIPICATION

CITY CHAETER OF 1854,

AND STATUTES AFFECTING THE SAME.

[The first act of the Legislature of Massachusetts establishing the City
of Boston was passed Pebruary 23, 1822, and adopted by the citizens of
Boston, March 4, 1822. It is chapter 110 of the acts of 1821. The
present city charter, being a revision of the former one, was passed April
29, 1854, and adopted by the citizens, November 13, 1854. It is chapter
448 of the acts of 1854. The charter herewith presented is a codifica-
tion of the original enactment of 1854, and of the general and special
acts since then adopted, prepared, by order of the City Council, bpthe
Committee on OrdinJitices. The sections in pica are unchanged from
the text of 1854. Words in italics show verbal changes. Sections in

118 MUNICIPAL REGISTER.

An accurate account is kept of the tinae of giving each
alarm, and of the station from which it originates, and all
other necessary information.

Alarms are transmitted to the Central Office, from the
Signal Stations or Boxes, by pulling a slide in the box. The
police officers and one other person resident near each station
liave keys to the boxes.

Alarms are sounded by striking the number of the box
upon the Alarm Bells and upon the Gongs in the Engine-
Houses. ^

Examples : To announce the existence of a fire near Box
No. 41 (Old Soutli Church), the bells will strike four, make
a pause of a few seconds, then strike one, thus : 4 — 1. This
will be repeated at intervals of about one-half minute.

For a fire near Box No. 145 (South Boston Point), the
bells will strike 07ie, make a pause, then strihe four, another
pause, then strike j'ive, thus : 1 — 4 — 5.

Second Alarms are sounded by striking ten blows followed
by box number. Third Alarms are sounded by striking
twelve blows twice, thus : 12 — 12.

In cases where the entire department are required, alarms
are sounded by striking twelve blows three times, thus ; 12
— 12—12.

Return Signal. — Notice will be given on the bells and
gongs by striking one blow four times, thus : 1 — 1 — 1 — 1 ;
upon which the several pieces of apparatus on their way to
the fire will return to their quarters.

In cases where Hook and Ladder Companies only are
wanted, signal to be given by striking ten blows once, with
the number of the Company struck twice, thus : Hook &
Ladder No. one, 10 — 1 — 1. Hook & Ladder No. four,
10 — 4—4. Hook & Ladder No. seven, 10 — 7—7.

If more than one Hook & Ladder Company is wanted, the
signal will be given thus : Hook & Ladder one and three,
10-1 — 1—3 — 3. Hook & Ladder two and four, 10 —

EIKE-ALABM TELEGRAPH. 119

2 — 2 — 4 — 4. Hook & Ladder five and seven, 10 — 5 — 5
— 7 — 7.

Alarms are usually given about a half a minute from the
time the box is operated.

DIRECTIONS TO BE OBSERVED IN CASE OF FIRE.

Get the key of the nearest box to the fire.

Open the box — pull the hook all the way down once, and
let go.

Wait one full minute for the sound of the bells.

If you hear no sound, pull again; and the third time if you
get no sound.

If you fail the third time, go to the next nearest box and
do the same there ; but do not touch any other box if* the
nearest one gives the alarm.

After giving the alarm, remain awhile, \i possible, by the
box, so as to direct the firemen to the fire.

No person will give alarms for the same fire (after the
first alarm has been given) without an order from an Engi-
neer ; and the person so ordered will be sure to go to the
same box from which the first alarm was given, and report
the same to the Chief Engineer. If, hoioever, a fire breaks
out while another is burning in a difierent section of the city,
a second alarm can be given by a police-ofiicer without
waiting for an order from an Engineer.

card must be made in due form to the Registration Clerks at
the Central Library, at the Branches, or at the Lower Mills,

II. Non-residents. — All can use books and periodicals
in the buildings ; but the following can also apply to the
Registration Clerks, as above, for, cards to draw books for
home use : clergymen and teachers having regular pro-
fessional occupation in the city, and members of the follow-
ing institutions, whose governments have guaranteed the

for special studies, and last only for one year, and it is not
expected that they will be used to draw new and popular books.

Central Library books may be applied for at the several
Branches.

EAST BOSTON BRANCH.

This Branch comprises two distinct collections of books,
one begun by the East Boston Library Association in 1852,
and merged in the Sumner Library in 1860, and presented to
the City of Boston, and made to form a portion of the East
Boston Branch Library ; and the other of books taken from
-the Central Library, with additions by purchase, so as to
give completeness to the whole.

This Branch Library (in the old Lyman School-house, on
Meridian street) was opened to the public in November,
1870, and was dedicated by appropriate services on March
22, 1871.

SOUTH BOSTON BRANCH.

By a vote of the Mattapan Literary Association, its Li-
brary of about 1,500 volumes was made the nucleus of this
Branch, and to these have been added books either bought

PUBLIC LIBRARY. 147

or withdrawn from the Central Library. In this way a
collection of about 5,000 vohimes was ready for use, and
this Branch was opened on May 1st, 1872. The rooms of
the Branch are in the Savings-Bank Building, corner of
Broadway and E Street, and during the past year have been
enlarged by taking the entire floor.

ROXBURY BRANCH.

Under the will of the late Caleb Fellowes, the Rev. George
Putnam, D.D., Supply C. Thwing, Esq., William Whiting,
Sr., and others to be joined with them, by an act of incor-
poration, were invested with a trust, the purpose of which
was to establish a Library, and erect a building for it, within
half a mile of the meeting-house of the first Religious Society
in Roxbury, on Eliot square. As it was deemed for the inter-
est of all concerned that the advantages of these funds should
be joined with such others as may accrue from the provi-
sions made by the City Council for the benefit of the District
of Roxbury, in the way of a Branch of the Public Library,
the Mayor, authorized by the City Council, signed an indent-
m'e with the Trustees of the Fellowes Atliengeum by which
that institution is united with the Branch Library. The
agreement (to be found in the Report of the Library for
1872) in effect gives the citizens of Roxbury a Library, the
same in kind with the Bates Hall collection, though on a
smaller scale, to be increased by the Fellowes Fund, now
yielding about $3,000 a year, while the city maintains a pop-
ular Library in connection therewith, to be of the character
of the Lower Hall of the Central Library and of the other
Branches. The building on the corner of Millmont street and
Lambert avenue was completed, and the Library, opened in
the summer of 1873. The Trustees of the Fellowos Aihe-
nseum contributed $3,000 towards supplying the books with
which it was opened. The present Trustee of the Fellowes
Athenseum are : Charles K. D\\h\wa,y, President ; Nathaniel

J. Bradlee, Treasurer; Gorham Eogers ; W. C. Collar;
Rev. Edward E. Hale ; Joseph S. Ropes ; John F. Osgood ;
Rev. John G. Brooks ; Henry W. Putnam, Secretary.

The entire control of the joint collections, and the govern-
ment of the Branch, is vested by the contract in the Trustees
of the Public Library.

WEST EQXBURY BRANCH.

This Library, which has heretofore been a delivery Branch
of the Roxbury Library, was established by the Trustees,
Dec. 5, 1877, as an independent Branch of the General
Library. This Library has excellent accommodations in
Curtis Hall. A delivery of the Branch has been established
at Roslindale, where books are applied for and received three
afternoons and evenings in the week.

CHARLESTOWN BRANCH.

The Public Library of Churlestown, which was established
in 1862, became, on the 5th of January, 1874, through the
annexation of that city, the Charlestown Branch of the Pub-
lic Library of the City of Boston. It occupies the second
story of the former City Hall in Charlestown.

BRIGHTON BRANCH.

The Holton Library, owned and maintained by the town
of Brighton, and established in 1864, became, on the 5th of
January, 1874, the Brighton Branch of the Public Library
of the City of Boston. In August, 1874, the new Library
building, begun by the town of Brighton, was completed,
and the Library was transferred to it the same month, and
services of dedication took place in October.

DORCHESTER BRANCH.

This Branch has rooms in the new City Building at Field's
Corner, where it was opened in January, 1875, after dedi-

MAKKET. 149

catorj services had been held earlier in the same month. A
Delivery of the Branch has been established at the Lower
Mills, and books are asked for and received there daily.

SOUTH-END BRANCH.

The Mercantile Library Association having given to the
city its valuable collection of books, now contained in their
Club Eoom, at the corner of Newton and Tremont streets,
a Branch for the reception and delivery of books from the
General Library has been established in that place, for
which accommodation the city pays said associati(m as rent
the sum of $1,000 per annum for a t^erm of three years.

ballotings by the citizens. At the eighth trial, on the twenty-first
of February, Thomas A. Davis was elected.

In the mean time, 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.

On the sixth of October, Thomas A. Davis, being in declining
health, resigned the office of Ma3'or, which resignation, however,
was not accepted by the City Council ; and on the twenty-second
of November he died, being the first Mayor who has died in office
since the organization of the city government in 1822.

On the eleventh of December, Josiah Quincy, Jr., was elected
Mayor by the City Council, for the unexpired term of 1845. Ben-
son Leavitt, one of the Board of Aldermen, acted as Chairman of
the Board in the interval between the death of Mr. Davis and the
election of Mr. Quincy.

In 1851 Benjamin Seaver, having already been elected an Alder-
man of the city for 1852, was afterwards chosen Mayor for said
year. At the commencement of the ensuing municipal year, 1852,
he resigned as an Alderman, and accepted the office of Ma3^or.

The election of Mayor for 1854 was continued through three
ballotings, from December 12, 1853, to January 9, 1854. In the
mean tii^e the duties of Mayor were performed by Benjamin L.
Allen, Chairman of the Board of Aldermen.

At the municipal election, in 1872, William Gaston was certified,
by the returns of the officers of the several wards, to have been
elected Mayor of the city for the next municipal term. But upon
charges of alleged fraudulent practices in one of the wards of the
city, a recount of all the ballots cast at said election was demanded
and made ; and it appearing therefrom that Henrj^ L. Pierce had
79 plurality, he was declared duly elected Mayor for the year 1873.

In 1873 Henry L. Pierce, Ma3'or of the city, was elected a mem-
ber of the 43d Congress from the Third Massachusetts District, in
place of William Whiting, deceased. Mr. Pierce resigned his office
as Ma3or on November 29, and occupied his seat in Congress on
December 1, 1873.

The duties of the Ma3'or for the remainder of the municipal year
were performed by Leonard R. Cutter, Chairman of the Board of
Aldermen, who signed all official papers as "Acting Ma3'or."

In 1858 Rufus B. Bradford resigned, and was afterwards ap-
pointed Measurer of Grain.

In 1859 Timothy A. Sumner resigned, on account of illness, and
soon afterwards died.

In 1878 Samuel C. Perkins died while in office.

At the municipal election, in 1852, nine Aldermen had a majority
of ballots ; but in accordance with the statute, the eight who had
the highest number of votes were declared elected.

The Municipal Government for 1855 was the first one that was
organized under the new or revised Cit}' Charter, which provided
for the annual election of twelve Aldermen.

Document No. 7, for 1861, and City Document No. 16, for 1862.

Thomas J. Fitzpatrick, of Ward 13, died in office, March, 1876.

There have been nineteen successfully contested elections.

The first, February 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 adjourned
meeting, December 11, 1834, on the ground of irregular proceed-
ing, to render the whole number of votes certain by taking the high-
est number of votes for candidates on each opposing ticket, ad-
journment 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,
sufficient to afi"ect the choice, voted at the polls.

COMMON COUNCIL. 239

The fourth, February 9, 1843, vacated the seats of three mem-
bers from Ward 1, returned as elected at the adjourned meeting,
December 14, on the ground that four votes for non-resident can-
didates (after having been first thrown out by the ward officers)^
were counted at the annual election, December 12, thereby pre-
venting the choice of two other candidates, who, by excluding the
said four votes, were by the decision of the Council declared
elected, leaving one vacanc3^

The fifth, February 27, 1851, vacated the geats of two members
from Ward 3, on the ground that they were chosen at an adjourned
meeting which was illegally held. At the subsequent trial the
same members were again returned to the Common Council.

The sixth, January 20, 1853, vacated the seats of three members
of Ward 3, on the ground that they were chosen at an adjourned
meeting which was illegally held.

The seventh, February 3, 1853, in accordance with the Report
of the Committee on Elections, vacated the seats of three members
from Ward 11, on the ground that the Mayor and Aldermen had
no right to issue warrants for election of members of the Common
Council, after the annual election, and before the organization of
the government elect. But inasmuch as the elections in question
were conducted bond fide, and no other informality was apparent,
and as this custom of supplementary elections had been in vogue
for twenty years, the members thus elected were by the vote of the
Common Council declared entitled to their seats.

The eighth, March 19, 1863, in accordance with the Report of
the Committee on Elections, vacated the seat of a member from
Ward 3, on the ground that at the time of his election he was not
an inhabitant of that ward. Before a decision was reached on this
point the member in question resigned.

• The ninth, April 9, 1863, vacated the seats of the entire-delega-
tion from Ward 10, on the ground that more votes were returned
than there were persons who voted in that ward at the municipal
election, — occasioned b}' mistake, probabl}^, in the counting of the
ballots, — the variation being so great as to affect the election of
the whole delegation. At the subsequent trial the same members
were again returned to the Common Council.

The tenth, January 24, 1867, vacated the seat of a member from
Ward 3, who was chosen at an adjourned m,eeting (held on account
of a tie-vote at the regular meeting, Dec. 10, 1866), on the ground

^This fact was admitted, though not stated in the report of the committee

240 MUJTICIPAL EEGMSTEK.

that the polls at said adjourned meeting were not kept open the
same number of hours as were required by the original warrant.
At a subsequent election the same member was returned to the
Common Council. [See City Doc. No. 12, for 1867.]

The eleventh, January 16, 1868, vacated the seat of a member
returned from Ward 10, because by the count of the original ballots
cast in said ward it appeared that another person was chosen.

The twelfth, January 6, 1870, vacated the seat of a member re-
turned from Ward 13^ for the same reason as recited above.

The thirteenth, Januarj^ 5, 1871, vacated the seat of a member
returned from Ward 15, for the same reason.

The fourteenth, January 18, 1872, vacated the seat of a member
returned from Ward 7, for the same reason.

The fifteenth occurred as follows : —

At the annual municipal election, in 1871, Frederick S. Risteen
was declared elected as a member from Ward 10. This election
was contested by J. Q. A. Brackett, and a recount of the original
ballots showed that said Brackett was elected by a plurality of one
ballot over F. S. Risteen, and said Brackett was accordingly de-
clared, by the Common Council of 1872, to be entitled to the seat.
Subsequently Mr. Risteen contested this decision, on the ground
that his name was erased from a number of ballots by some one of
the ward officers after said ballots were deposited by the voters.
After a protracted inquiry the Common Council sustained this
view of the case, and Mr. Risteen was again returned to his former
seat, and was again duly qualified on February 1, 1872. [See
City Doc. No. 18, for 1872.]

The sixteenth, January 4, 1874, vacated the seat of a member
returned from Ward 13, because, by the count of the original
ballots cast in said ward, it appeared that another person was
chosen.

The seventeenth, January 14, 1875, vacated the seat of a mem-
ber from Ward 1, because, by the count of the original ballots cast
in said ward, it appeared that another person was elected.

The eighteenth, .January 4, 1877, vacated the seat of a member
