INTRODUCTION.
The City has annually since 1821 issued a volume contain-
ing, until 1829, a register of the City Council and a list of
the officers. In 1829, the City Charter, in 1830, the acts
relating to Boston and the ordinances, and in 1832 an index
were added. The volume for 1822 contains fifteen pages,
and for 1840 eighty-five pages and three pages of index.
The volume up to, and including, 1840 bears the title of The
Rules and Orders of the Common Council, and since that
year the title of The Municipal Register. The Municipal
Register for 1841 contains the Rules and orders of the
Common Council, joint rules, ordinances of the City, statutes
of the Commonwealth relating to the City, a list of the public
schools, the City government of 1841, the committees and
departments' (consisting at that time of the treasury, law,
police, health, public land and buildings, lamps and bridges,
fire, and public charitable institutions), and a list of the
ward officers ; from 1842 to 1864, it also contains a list of
the members of preceding City governments, a necrological
record of these members, the latest ordinances and the special
statutes relating to the city; in 1851 a list of the annual
orators was added, and in 1853 a map of the City and the
rules of the Board of Aldermen were inserted ; in 1876 statis-
tics of registration and voting were included, and since 1879
in tabulated form ; in 1883 portraits of the Mayor and pre-
siding officers of the two branches of the City Council were
included, and in 1888 a list of the members of the past City
governments of Roxbury and Charlestown was added, and
continued to 1890. Since 1889 the Municipal Register is
in substantially the form of the present volume.

and to suggest any improvements which could be made therein. The

Doc. 70), recommending the immediate undertaking of the project;
and on August 9, 1877, a loan of $3,713,000 was authorized to meet the
expense of constructing a large intercepting sewer from Charles River
across the city, in a southerly direction, to Moon Island. Additional
appropriations have been made at various times, and the sum of
$6,382,766 has been appropriated for Improved Sewerage and expended
by the City Engineer's Department.

Davis, City Engineer, and was continued by him until his resignation in
March, 1880, then by his successor, Henry M. Wightman, City En-
gineer, until his death in April, 1885 ; since this date until the present

New wards were established for the city in the year eighteen hundred
and ninety-five, the first division into new wards since the year 1875. ' An
attempt was made by the City Council to make a new division of wards
in the year 1885, and an ordinance to that effect was prepared by a
special committee appointed for the purpose and passed by the City
Council and approved by the Mayor.2 Certain questions were raised,
however, in the General Court of 1886, relative to establishing State,
senatorial and representative districts, and as to whether such districts
should be established according to the territorial boundaries of cities
and towns and their wards as they existed on the first day of May, 1885,
or whether new ward lines, as in the case of the City of Boston, should
be followed. On May 21, 1886, the opinion of the Justices of the
Supreme Judicial Court was asked by the Legislature on this matter,
and they decided that the district divisions referred to must be made
according to territorial and other boundaries existing on the first day of
May, 1885, and that the new ward divisions were illegal.3 On account
of this decision of the justices of the Supreme Judicial Court, an act
was passed by the Legislature in June, 1886, 4 which provided that the
several wards, .precincts, and assessment districts of the several cities
of the Commonwealth, existing May 1, 1885, should be established as
the wards, precincts, and assessment districts of said cities, any acts or
ordinances of the city councils of said cities to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. The new division of wards was thus set aside and the ward lines
established in 1875 remained in effect until they were changed in 1895,
and established under the provisions of Chap. 417, of the Acts of 1893,
as follows :
WARD ONE.
Beginning at the intersection of the Harbor Commissioners1 line and
the division line dividing the property of the Alonzo Crosby heirs
1 An ordinance providing for a new division of the city into wards, passed Nov. 16,
1875. An ordinance to make Breed's Island, so-called, part of Ward 1, passed Dec. 4, 1875.
By Chap. 242 of the Acts of 1876, the City Council were directed to divide Ward Twenty-
two into two wards to be called Wards 22 and 25. The division was accordingly made by
an ordinance passed May 27, 1876.
2 An ordinance making a new division of the city into wards, passed Dec. 23, 1885. [Doc.

The election of Mayor for 1845 was more warmly contested than in
any former year. There were not less than eight several ballotings by
the citizens. At the eighth trial, on the twenty-first of February,
Thomas A. Davis was elected.
In the meantime, from January to Febi'uary 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 Mayor, which resignation, however, was not
accepted by the City Council ; and on the twenty-second of November
he died, being the only Mayor who has died in office since the organi-
zation 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. Benson 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 Alderman
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 Mayor.
The election of Mayor for 1854 was continued through three ballot-
ings, from December 12, 1853, to January 9, 1854. In the meantime
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 jjractices 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 Henry L. Pierce had seventy-nine plurality,
he was declared duly elected Mayor for the year 1873.
In 1873 Henry L. Pierce, Mayor of the city, was elected a member of
the Forty-third Congress from the Third Massachusetts District, in place
of William Whiting, deceased. Mr. Pierce resigned his office as Mayor
on November 29, and occupied his seat in Congress on December 1.
1873.
The duties of the Mayor for the remainder of the municipal year
were performed by Leonard R. Cutter, Chairman of the Board of
Aldermen, who signed all official paper's as " Acting Mayor."

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 organ-
ized under the new or revised City Charter, which provided for the
annual election of tivelve Aldermen.
At the municipal election, Dec. 14, 1880, the returns of the precinct
officers showed William Frost to be elected Alderman by a plurality of
fifteen votes over James J. Flynn, and a very slight difference in the
number of ballots cast for other candidates who failed of election. A
recount of the ballots cast for Mayor and Aldermen was thereupon
demanded in legal form. A committee of the Board of 1880, having
made the recount, reported, December 27, that Mr. Flynn was elected,
having received a plurality of votes over Mr. Frost; and Mr. Flynn
took the seat at the organization of the Board of 1881. Mr. Frost gave
notice of his intention to contest the seat of Mr. Flynn, and also of Mr.
Haldeman, who had received the next greatest number of votes. A
committee of the Board of 1881 was appointed to consider the matter,
and reported, March 14, 1881 (City Document No. 38 of 1881), the
majority declaring Mr. Frost entitled to the seat held by Mr. Flynn,
with two minority reports. The majority report was accepted March
21, and Mr. Frost took the seat. One peculiar incident in this case
was the reception of a numerously signed petition asking the Board to
examine and recount the ballots for Messrs. Woolley, Haldeman, and
Flynn, sitting members, and Messrs. William Frost, John Thompson,
and Geoi'ge S. Dexter, standing next highest on the precinct returns ;
another was the fact that many ballots were either mislaid or stolen, in
Precinct 3 of Ward 13, on election day.
At the municipal election Dec. 13, 1881, the returns of the precinct
officers showed William Frost to be elected Alderman by a plurality of
154 votes over Charles V. Whitten. On petition, in due legal form, a
committee of the Board of 1881 made a recount of the ballots cast for
Mayor and Aldermen, and reported that Mr. Whitten was elected over
Mr. Frost, and Mr. Whitten took the seat. Mr. Frost contested the
seat of Mr. Whitten, and called for a reexamination of the ballots cast
ALDERMEN. 241
Such examination was made by a new committee, which reported,
January 17, that William Frost had 19,861, and Charles V. Whitten had
19.825. On Jan. 19, 1882, the seat was awarded to Mr. Frost.
For reports of contested seats in the Board of Aldermen, see City
Document No. 7 for 1861, and City Document No. 16 for 1862.
At the municipal election, Dec. 12, 1882, the returns of the precinct
officers showed Edwin F. Leighton to be elected Alderman by a plurality
of 102 votes over Joseph Caldwell. On petition in due legal form a com-
mittee of the Board of 1882 recounted the ballots cast for these two candi-
dates, and reported, December 26, that Joseph Caldwell appeared to be
chosen by a plurality of 14, and that in addition there were found 3 ballots
for " Caldwell," 1 for "E. F. Leighton," 18 for "F. Leighton,"
and 11 for " Leighton; " also that, "with the exception of the
name ' E. F. Leighton,1 which was written, the abbreviated names
above recited were plainly legible beyond the edges of ' stickers,' or
' pasters,' which covered and concealed the Christian names of Messrs.
Caldwell and Leighton, those stickers having been pasted ujDon an
adjoining name, but being of such length as to partly cover the names
in question." The committee further reported that there was plainly
no intent to cancel the names over which the stickers extended. Mr.
Caldwell, who was a member of the Board of 1882, thereupon stated
his intention of not appearing to claim a seat in the Board of 1883, and
introduced an order, which was passed, declaiing that, in the opinion
of the Board, the abbreviated ballots should be credited to Mr. Leighton.
The Board of 1883, on petition of Mr. Leighton, awarded him the seat
at the first meeting, January 1.

There have been the following successfully coutested 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 proceeding, to render
the whole number of votes certain by taking the highest number of votes
for candidates on each opposing ticket, adjournment 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 members of
Ward 12, on the ground that a number of illegal voters, sufficient to
affect the choice, voted at the polls.
The fourth, February 9, 1843, vacated the seats of three members
from Ward 1, returned as elected at the adjourned meeting, December
246 MUNICIPAL REGISTER.
14, on the ground that four votes for non-resident candidates (after
having been first thrown out by the ward officers)1 were counted at the
annual election, December 12, thereby preventing the choice of two
other candidates, who, by excluding the said four votes, were by the
decision of the Council declaimed elected, leaving one vacancy.
The fifth, February 27, 1851, vacated the seats 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 bona 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 delegation
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 by mistake, probably, 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 meeting (held on account of
a tie-vote at the regular meeting, Dec. 10, 1866), on the ground 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
1 This fact was admitted, though not stated in the report of the Committee.
COMMON COUNCIL. 247
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
returned from Ward 13, for the same reason as recited above.
The thirteenth, .January 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 con-
tested 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 declared by the Com-
mon Council of 1872 to be entitled to the seat. Subsequently Mr. Ris-
teen 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 member
returned 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 from
Ward 20, because, by the count of the original ballots cast in said
ward, it appeared that another person was elected.
The nineteenth, January 10, 1878, vacated the seat of a member from
Ward 20, because, by the count of the original ballots cast in that
ward, it appeared that another person was chosen.
The twentieth, December 27, 1880 (see records of Board of Aldermen
of said date) , vacated the seat's of one member from each of the follow-
ing-named wards, viz., 3, 13, 16, and 19, because, from an examination
of the original ballots cast in said wards, it appeared that other per-
sons were chosen. From an examination made at the same time of the
original ballots cast in Ward 5 it appeared that, instead of there being
a tie-vote for a third member from said ward, three members were
duly chosen. Peculiar features of the case in Ward 13 are, that some
of the ballots undoubtedly deposited by the voters of Precinct 3 of this
ward were either mislaid or stolen at the polling place, and that the
248 MUNICIPAL REGISTER.
Committee of the Board of Aldermen of 1880, who examined the bal-
lots for Common Council in that ward, erroneously reported that the
sitting member had been duly elected. (See City Doc. 54 of 1881.)
In 1887 one seat in the representation of Ward 4 and one in that of
Ward 15 were vacated and the contestants declared elected, the Coun-
cil exercising its discretion as to the intent of the voter in certain cases
of technical irregularity. (See City Docs. Nos. 6, 11, of 1887.)
In 1889 one seat in the representation of Ward 3 and one in that of
Ward 12 were vacated and the contestants declared elected, the intent
of the voter in cases of technical irregularity being considered.
See "Reports of Controverted Elections in the Common Council of
the City of Boston, from 1827 to 1889." Boston : 1889, pp. xvii and
277.
The longest continuous service in the City Council is that of David F.
Barry, member of the Common Council from 1880 to 1893 (president
in 1887, '88, '91, '92, '93), 1894 and 1895, a member of the Board of Alder-
men. Eliphalet Williams (president of the Common Council, 1829)
served fifteen years, but not consecutively. James J. Flynn served
twelve years in the Common Council (president, 1883) and three years
in the Board of Aldermen. Thomas Wetmore served eleven years, not
consecutive, in the Board of Aldermen.
