OUR COUNTY AND ITS PEOPLE
THE CITY OF HOLYOKE
In 1847, three years previous to the incorporation of the town, the locality in which the Hadley Falls company was just beginning operations contained a grist mill, a cotton or elotli mill, one small shop and fourteen dwelling houses. The inhab- itants here, like those owning the more elevated lands to the westward of the river, were chiefly engaged in agricultural pur- suits, although on the higher arcas, especially along the old "county road," a little country village had gradually come into existence: and the locality about that time could boast a tavern of modest appearance, but of wide fame, two stores. a sash, blind and planing mill, two physicians, a shoemaker, tailor, wheelwright, painter, blacksmith, a school house and two churches-Congregational and Baptist.
A few years later, after the failure of the first dam and the construction of its more substantial successor, business inter- ests began to gravitate toward the lands of the water power com- pany, and the new village soon gained precedence over and superseded the old. From that time Holyoke dates its most
progressive history. The constant increase in population and commerce led to the establishment of new institutions. and called for a form of government not attainable under the town- ship character. Therefore, in 1873. when the town's population was increased to nearly 14,000 inhabitants, recourse again was had to the legislature with result in the passage of "An aet to establish the city of Holyoke." The aet was approved by the governor April 7, 1873, and was accepted by the citizens May 29, 1873, by a vote of 377 yeas to 17 nays.
Under the charter the administration of the fiscal. pruden- tial and municipal affairs of the city beeamc vested in a mayor, a conneil of seven members. called the board of aldermen, and a conneil of twenty-one members, called the common conneil, all to be elected by the people. The charter also made provision for the election of a city clerk and city treasurer, and for the election by the qualified voters. or the appointment by the mayor or city council. of such other officers as the proper administration of municipal affairs from time to time should require.

The original eity charter was sufficient for its time, but with the rapid increase in population and commercial interests of later years, special, amendatory and supplemental acts became necessary. In 1896 the charter was radically revised, and by the act of May 27 of that year the administrative affairs, exeept those of the public schools, were vested in an executive depart- ment consisting of a mayor and a board of aldermen, the latter composed of fourteen members elected at large, and one member from each ward in the city. Under the provisions of this act and the ordinanees adopted by the municipal legislative body, the affairs of the city are now administered.
Within the corporate limits established in 1873, and sinee continued, the city of Holyoke has an area of 16.35 square miles of land ; river front, 7.06 miles ; greatest north and south meas- urement, 4.75 miles : greatest east and west measurement, 5.12 miles ; county roads, 35.25 miles: accepted streets, 41.57 miles ; unaccepted streets, 16.01 miles ; paved streets, 6.50 miles : sewers, 32.37 miles; streets watered, 42.21 miles; fire alarm wires, 72 miles ; street lights, 289 : park areas, 23.71 aeres ; dwelling houses, 4,571 ; number of voters, 6,864; number of polls, 11,653: popu- lation. June 1, 1900 (United States census). 45,712: popula- tion, May 1, 1900 (school census). 47,612; public schools en- rollment (day), 6,287; public schools enrollment (night), 905; parochial schools enrollment. 3.655; school houses, 29; churches, 20: engine honses, 7; fire alarm boxes, 112; valuation, May 1, 1901, $39,951,930 (real estate, $29,658,610; personal, $10,293,- 320). The erection of a town hall was suggested in 1870, four years before the eity government was organized, but the strue- ture in faet was built by the city; hence the name city hall. The building is a splendid specimen of modern architecture, rep- resenting several years of work and an expenditure of nearly $300,000. It was finally completed under the supervision of a specially constituted building committee, ehosen in 1874, and composed of William Grover, Timothy Merrick. John C. Newton, James Doyle and Charles W. Ranlet.
The special acts relating to the town and city may be enum- erated as follows :
