Poll tax
$106.50
School tax
14.91
State tax 72.86
County tax 115.69
$309.96
The called term April 2, 1849, for the purpose of ordering a public sale of town lots. At this meeting George W. Perkins and Ephraim Sears, commis- sioners, Jackson Payne, sheriff, and James J. Jackson, clerk, were present. It was ordered by the board that the county agent withhold all sale of lots until Monday April 9 at one o'clock p. m. It was further ordered that all town lots in Centerville which had not been sold be offered at public sale by the agent to the highest bidder, provided that the bids were not less than the appraised value of the lots and that the clerk advertise them for sale forthwith, "by Riten Notices."
At the April term the commissioners. Ephraim Sears, Jesse Wood and George W. Perkins, the sheriff, Calvin Spooner, and the clerk. James J. Jackson, were present. The board ordered that Frederick Trocksell be allowed $2 for four wolf scalps.
It was ordered that the unsold lots "except the one the court house stands on be offered at Publick Sale to the highest bidder. provided that said bid is not less than the appraised valuation fixed by the commissioners and that all the lots between South street and Washington street north of the square, also between West street and Jefferson street, inclusive, which shall be raised 100 per cent above the former regulated price and all the rest of the back lots at 50
101

per cent above the aforesaid price in payment whereof the county agent is auth- orized to take county orders at the former rates of one-fourth down, one-fourth in six months, one-fourth in one year and the last payment in eighteen months from the time of purchasing, or otherwise one-half down and the balance in eighteen months. All of the unsold lots was offered by the agent, cryed by the sheriff at Public Sale on Monday the 10th day of April, 1849, at the aforesaid rates and 8 lots was sold."
At the May term of court Archibald Burrows was granted a license to "keep a ferry on the Chariton river at or within two miles of the town where the old Mormon Trace crosses the river in Appanoose county, for which he has obligated himself to pay into the County Treasury $2 annually." At this same session James J. Jackson was allowed $209 "for services done in Building a Court House to be paid in town lots." It was also ordered that G. W. Perkins be allowed "or empowered to examine the remainder of the job of Jesse Wood (on the court house ) and if he considers it done according to the contract to settle with him for the same."
It is quite evident that Mr. Wood's work on the court house was satisfactory, as the following entry would indicate :
"Be it ordered that Jesse Wood be allowed $119.50 for work done on the court house to be paid in town lots."
The petit jury in the district court for the May term, 1849, was as follows : Benjamin Spooner, David McKeehan, Shubel Fuller, D. Lotridge, Hiram Glas- gow, Stephen Glasgow, Isaac McAdams, Abraham Perjue, James Hughes, Mil- ton Van Dyke, Noah Nash, Isaac Fuller.
FIRST MENTION OF A BRIDGE
At the May term, 1849, it was ordered "that if citizens would pay one-half by subscription for building a bridge across the Chariton river where the state road crosses the same from Centerville to Bloomfield, the commissioners will pay the balance in town lots at Centerville." At the July session a report was received from a committee appointed on the part of citizens in relation to the constructing of a bridge across the Chariton river "a subscription of $307.50 was granted in May, payable to the commissioners with a recommendation that they make the donation equal to the county jail, a proposal to let out said job by receiving sealed bids with the plan of the bidder continuing the same to be insured to stand for two years there was excepted unless it is burnt when found to be failing from other causes."
Although the bid of William Packard and Daniel Hollingshead & Brothers for the construction of the bridge was over $100 more than competing bids, they were given the contract for constructing the bridge.
A petition was presented to the board at its July session in 1849 asking for the organization of a new township to be called Independence, which was granted.
MAKES PROVISIONS FOR A JAIL
At the August session, 1849, of the board of commissioners it was ordered "that the agent be empowered to sell all town property reserved for the Building of a Geol at the same installments now existing for cash."

COUNTY ORDERS STOVE
At the November session of the board it was ordered "that the town agent be empowered and required to procure a stove and have it put up in the court house in Centerville."
At this same session it was ordered that the account presented by Henry Allen for witness fees in the case of the state against Gheen laid over at the July term be not allowed except the charge for handcuffs for $1.50.
Another order was to the effect that James J. Jackson be employed to work on the court house and that the "agent shall be allowed to furnish the nails neces- sary for the same."
It was further ordered "that the Commissioners advertise that they will give the lawful bounty for wolf scalps of $1 for those over six months old; under, 50 cents."
At the January term William Flood "was allowed to take a Grocery License for the term of three months from the expiration of his present permit at the rate of $50 per year."
At an adjourned term held February 4, 1850, it was ordered "that the order of January 8th allowing William Flood to take out a Grocery License for a further term of three months from the expiration of his present term be rescinded and revoked and no such License be granted on the charge that he the said Wil- liam Flood keeps a disorderly and Riotous house."
At the January term the township of Richland was created.
THE FIRST FIREMAN
The first paid fireman whose name is on record in this county was Thomas A. Cochran, who was allowed at the April term of the board of commissioners in 1850 five cents "for his services as fireman, February 14, 1850." It is highly probable that the present fire department of Centerville fixes its birth from the date above given.

RATE FIXED FOR KEEPING A GROCERY
At the April term, 1850, it was "ordered and decreed by the County Commis- sioners that the rates for obtaining a grocery license shall be $100 and before any person can take out a license to keep a grocery in this county he shall pay into the County Treasury the sum of $100 lawful money of the United States and procure the Treasurer's receipt for the same." This order was afterward res- cinded and the license was changed back to $50 per year.
The record shows that the bridge across the Chariton river built by the county commissioners and the citizens interested was 'completed by this time.
It was ordered at the October term of the board of commissioners that G. W. Swearingen "be allowed $1.95 for sustenance of the jury at the September term of the District Court."
At the November terms of the county commissioners' court the board pro- ceeded to make deeds to lots in the town of Centerville to the following named persons : John W. Ruby for the east half of lot No. 9 in block 3, range 2, for the consideration of $15 : Charles Tandy and Thomas D. Cox, for lot No. 3 in block No. I, range 4, consideration, $40; Adam Cuppy for lot No. 5, block 2, range 2, $50. A deed was issued to Daniel P. Sparks for the west half of lot No. 4. block 3, range 2, for $50.
THE FIRST JAIL
At the March ( 1851) term of the county commissioners' court it was ordered that "lots No. 1, 2, 5 and 6 in block 4, range No. 5 be reserved for the pur- pose of a site for a jail, the same to be withheld from sale." It was also ordered by the board that the clerk give notice that "plans and specifications for building a jail and also a jailer's building will be received and considered at the April term of the court." At that time the contract was let to A. & J. Thompson.
The following is a partial list of those who bought lots in the county seat, for which deeds were issued by the board of county commissioners: James H. Shields, Spencer F.
