CITY CLERK.
From 1815-1824 the clerk of the Board of Trustees was styled the secretary, and the office was filled as follows: 1815-1820, Thomas Rowland; 1820, George McDougall, J. D. Doty; 1821-1824, J. V. R. Ten Eyck.
The charter of 1824 created the title, and provided for the appointment by the council, of a city clerk. An Act of 1849 made the office elective. The term of office is two years. It is the duty of the clerk to make a full record of the proceedings and resolutions of the council, and to present it to the mayor for his approval or dissent within forty-eight hours after every meeting, also to attend to the pub- lication of all notices required to be published. He is the custodian of the official publications of the city, and administers the oath of office to all incumbents. At the beginning of each official year it is his duty to call the Board of Aldermen to order, and to preside over the meetings and all subsequent sessions until presidents are elected. He has charge of all the bal- lot-boxes, blanks, and books required at any election, supplying the same to the proper persons; keeps the list of house numbers established by the city engi- neer; is the depository of all chattel mortgages, and keeps a record of the same. The bonds and reports of all city officers are filed in his office. In 1832 the salary was $150 a year; in 1836 it had increased to $500; in 1883 the salary was $2,500. The office of deputy clerk has existed since March 6, 1857. The following persons have served as city clerks: 1824- 1828, V. Spalding; 1828-1831, John J. Deming ; 1831 and 1832, John L. Whiting; 1833 and 1834, John Winder; 1835, Felix Hinchman; 1836-1841, George Byrd; 1841-1844, C. F. Davis; 1844-1850, R. E. Roberts; 1850 and 1851, Jer. Van Rensselaer and A. T. Hall; 1852, D. Munger; 1853, H. S. Roberts; 1854-1858, Richard Starkey; 1858 and 1859, F. W. Hughes; 1860, R. C. Smith; 1861, H. A. Lacey; 1862-1866, F. Pramstaller; 1866-1872, H. Starkey ;

CITY ATTORNEY.
The office of city attorney existed in 1825, but was not created by ordinance until March 8, 1837. Appointments were originally made by the council. Since Act of February 21, 1849, attorneys have been elected every two years. The attorney drafts all proposed ordinances, gives legal opinions on all sub- jects referred to him by the council, and is expected to attend its sessions. When directed to do so by the Common Council, he attends to suits instituted against or by the city. The salary in 1883 was $2,500. Since 1876 there has been an assistant city attorney, who is appointed by the council. The city attorneys have been as follows: 1825, H. S. Cole; 1826-1829, E. Farnsworth; 1829, Cyprian Stevens; 1830-1832, E. Farnsworth; 1832 and 1833, A. D. Fraser; 1834, J. M. Howard; 1835, A. B. Bates; 1836, J. A. VanDyke; 1837, A. W. Buel; 1838 and 1839, J. A. VanDyke; 1840-1843, C. O'Flynn; 1843, E. Taylor; 1844 and 1845, I). E. Harbaugh; 1846, W. A. Howard; 1847, D. B. Duffield; 1848 and 1849, W. A. Cook; 1850, William Gray; 1851, A. Mandell; 1852 and 1853, J. B. Witherell; 1854-1857, J. Knox Gavin; 1857-1860, J. L. Chipman; 1860 and 1861, William J. Speed; 1862 and 1863, T. M. McEntee; 1864-1868, Thomas H. Hartwell; 1868- 1872, J. J. Brown ; 1872-1876, F. G. Russell ; 1876- 1880, W. C. Maybury ; 1880-1882, F. G. Russell ; 1882-1886, J. B. Corliss ; 1886- , W. Sheeran.
CITY COUNSELOR.
The office of city counselor was created by Act of March 12, 1861. Appointments are made by the council, on nomination of the mayor, for terms of three years. The counselor is required to attend all
sessions of the council. His duties are chiefly ad- visory, the intent of the office being to insure greater legal certainty in city proceedings, and to this end the attorney and counselor are supposed to co- operate. In all suits in which the city is interested, brought in the Circuit Court of Wayne County, the Supreme Court of Michigan, or the United States Court, the counselor appears in behalf of the city. The salary in 1883 was $2,000. The following have served as city counselors : 1863-1870, William Gray; 1870-1872, J. P. Whittemore; 1872-1878, D. C. Holbrook : 1878-1881, F. A. Baker; 1881 -1887, H. M. Duffield ; 1887- , John W. McGrath.
CITY HISTORIOGRAPHER.
The origin of the office of historiographer is as follows : On September 6, 1842, a petition for its creation, signed by Z. Pitcher and others, was pre- sented to the council. The petition was referred to the recorder and city attorney, and on January 24, 1843, an ordinance establishing the office was adopted. On January 31 Colonel Henry Whiting was appointed historiographer, but being soon after ordered to another post, on June 6 he was succeeded by H. N. Walker. Mr. Walker gathered together several valuable documents, which were subse- quently placed in the collection of the State Histori- cal Society; he held the office only a few years, other duties claiming his time. In 1855 B. F. H. Witherell was appointed, and served until his death in 1867. The office was then vacant until 1876, when Levi Bishop received the appointment. His death occurred in December, 1881, and on January 3, 1882, Silas Farmer was appointed to fill the vacancy. The office is purely honorary. The duties consist in gathering and preserving books, docu- ments, and historic material pertaining to the city of Detroit.
CHAPTER XXVI.
ALDERMEN : THEIR DUTIES AND NAMES.
THIS office was first named in the Act of August 5, 1824, which provided for five aldermen, to be elected from the city at large. The number was increased to seven by Act of April 12, 1827. No ward aldermen were elected until April 15, 1839, when, at a special election, two were chosen from each of the six wards created that year, one to serve two years and the other one year. The inspectors of election determined by lot which should serve for one year and which for two years. In all wards since created two aldermen have been provided for, and at all yearly elections an alderman for each ward is chosen for a term of two years. Under the charter of 1824 two aldermen were selected, from time to time, to preside with the mayor over the mayor's court. By Act of April 13, 1841, one alderman could hold a session of the court. These duties ceased after the recorder's court was established. The charter of 1857 provided that the aldermen then in office should continue to serve until January, 1858, and provision was made for the election, in November, 1857, of two aldermen from each ward, one of whom was to serve for one year only. In 1881, when an entirely new division of wards was made, the Common Council was authorized to assign the aldermen who had been elected the previous year to the several new wards. Under Act of June 6, 1881, no person could be elected a mem- ber of the Common Council unless he was a free- holder. The charter of 1883 made no such provision.
On April 8, 1837, a committee was appointed to inquire into the propriety and expediency of paying for the services of the mayor, recorder, and alder- men. That committee did not report, and the alder- men were apparently content to serve without pay, until May 13, 1857. On that date a series of single resolutions, offered by various aldermen, provided that the chairman of each committee should receive $300 a year, and as each alderman was chairman of a committee, all, on the approval of these resolu- tions, would have received compensation. Mayor Hyde disapproved of this action, and for ten years longer no salary was attached to the office of alder- man. Finally an Act of March 28, 1867, authorized the payment of a sum, not to exceed one dollar and fifty cents for attendance on each regular session. Payment was made from the general fund until
1873, and since then from the contingent fund. By law of 1881 the sum of three dollars was paid for each regular session attended. Under Act of June 21, 1887, they are now paid a salary of $600 per year, and the amount is not unreasonable if the du- ties are honestly performed. No alderman can hold any other city office, or any county or legislative office except that of notary public. Since Act of April 8, 1851, all of the aldermen, as representatives of the city, have been members of the Board of Supervisors. The following persons have served as aldermen ; where the names of more than two per- sons to a ward appear in any year, it is because death or resignation brought in a third person for part of the year :
