AUDITORS .- COMPTROLLERS .- ACCOUNTANTS.
The office of city auditor was created by Act of March 1I, 1844. It was the duty of this officer to audit all claims and accounts against the city, and to examine and adjust, as often as once in three months, the accounts of all city officers. The city clerks served also as auditors until 1850, when A. T. Hall was appointed solely to this office. By Act of February 12, 1855, the name of the office was changed to that of comptroller, and the term of ser- vice was reduced from three to two years. In 1861 the term of office was again extended to three years. The office is intended as a safeguard in the manage- ment of the city finances. The estimated expendi- tures of the several departments of the city are for- warded to and collected by the comptroller, and after being tabulated, are presented by him to the council. He keeps a record of all bonds issued by

CITY AND WARD ASSESSORS.
the city, all of which are signed by the mayor and comptroller, and attested by the city clerk. When bonds are redeemed, the comptroller gives a war- rant, drawn on the city treasurer. It is his duty to keep a complete list of the property of the city. He is nominated by the mayor and confirmed by the Board of Aldermen, and must give a bond in the sum of $30,000. In 1883 the salary was $3,000.
From 1850 to 1854 Amos T. Hall served as auditor. The names of the comptrollers, and the dates of the beginning of their terms, are as follows : Chas. Peltier, July 11, 1854; J. M. Edmunds, April, 1859; B. L. Webb, March, 1861 ; D. C. Whitwood, March, 1862; A. H. Redfield, October, 1863; B. G. Stimson, January, 1868; Wm. Purcell, June, 1870; E. I. Garfield, March, 1871 ; H. P. Bridge, March, 1877 ; Luther S. Trowbridge, July, 1883 ; A. Chese- brough, January, 1885 ; W. B. Moran, June, 1886.
The duties of the city accountant are intimately related to the original duties of the auditor and comptroller. The first appointee was J. J. Norris, who was charged in 1877 with the duty of examin- ing the methods of bookkeeping and the condition of the accounts in the several city offices. In 1878 he was succeeded by Richard Tregaskis, in 1884 re- appointed, and in 1886 was followed by H. P. Sanger. Appointments to the office are made on nomination of the mayor, for terms of two years, or until a successor is selected.
CITY AND WARD ASSESSORS.
The city charter of October 24, 1815, authorized the election of an assessor, and old records show that on May 5, 1817, he was paid $30.75 for collect- ing taxes on personal property assessed at $1,787.37. The extensive improvement of land and the greater number of property owners, growing out of the sale of lots on the Military Reserve, led the council to increase the number of assessors ; and in 1828 three were appointed.
An Act of March 27, 1839, provided for the elec- tion of one assessor in each of the six wards. Act of April 13, 1841, required the assessors to make out the rolls between the first Mondays of March and April, and gave them the same power as the county commissioners, and by Act of February 16, 1842, they were made members of the Board of Supervisors. By Act of February 23, 1846, the city was divided into three assessment districts, of two wards each; and of the six assessors elected in 1846, three were to serve one year, and three for two years, the length of term of each to be decided by lot. All assessments of property were to be made between the second Mondays of March and May. Under Act of January 30, 1847, the taxes were re- quired to be assessed and collected before the first Monday in March. Act of February 22, 1848, pro-
vided that the council should divide the city into three assessment districts ; the first district to em- brace the first and second wards ; the second district, the third, fourth, and seventh wards ; and the third district, the fifth and sixth wards. The Act also pro- vided that in 1849 one assessor should be elected for each district, the assessor for the first district to serve one year, for the second district, two years, and for the third district, three years ; and after 1849 they were to be elected for terms of three years. Act of February 21, 1849, provided for the election of one assessor for the seventh ward, and that the as- sessment districts of the city should be as already constituted by the council, except that the seventh ward was to be attached to the second district.
On January 30, 1850, the Legislature provided for the election of three city assessors, who were to decide by lot what should be their terms of office, one of them to serve for one year, one for two, and the other for three years ; and after 1850 one asses- sor was to be elected annually.
By Act of February 12, 1855, the plan of ward assessors was again introduced, and in 1856 one was elected for each ward, the whole number con- stituting a Board of Assessors. Assessments were to be made in March of each year. In May, 1855, the rolls were seriously tampered with, the assess- ment of some persons being reduced, and that of others increased. It was difficult to determine who had committed or connived at the wrongdoing, but on February 5, 1857, the wards system was again abolished, and provision was made for an assessor and two assistant assessors, who were to be appoint- ed by the Common Council.
Up to July 1, 1883, there was but one chief asses- sor ; his salary was $2,500, and he was appointed for terms of three years. Under ordinance of De- cember 30, 1861, the city. on January I of each year, appointed two assistants to serve for three months, at two dollars and fifty cents per day each. By ordinance of November 24, 1865, the time of service was increased to six months; and in March of the same year the pay was increased to four dollars, and afterwards to five dollars per day. The assistants were required to reside one on each side of Woodward Avenue.
By the charter of 1883, the office of assistant assessor was abolished, and a board of three asses- sors was provided for. The one in office was to continue for his regular term, and two others were to be appointed whose terms were to commence in July, 1883, and to continue for two and three years respectively. Beginning with 1884, one assessor is to be appointed annually for a term of three years. In 1883 the salary was $2,500 each. The charter of 1883 transferred to the assessors part of the powers formerly exercised by the Board of Review.

BOARD OF REVIEW.
Under Act of March 27, 1839, after the assess- ment rolls were completed, the assessors of the several wards met together, on specified days, to review their work. Under Act of February 12, 1855, they met on the first Monday of April, and sat two weeks to hear complaints and correct the rolls. By Act of February 5, 1857, the city assessor, comp- troller, treasurer, attorney, and the Committee of Ways and Means for each year, were constituted the Board of Review. Act of March 12, 1861, made provision for the appointment by the council, on nomination of the mayor, of three resident property owners to hold office three years, who were to consti- tute a Board of Review. The pay for their services was determined by the council, and was usually five dollars per day. The board met yearly at the assessor's office, on the first Monday in April, and were required to finish their labors on or before the first of May. It was their duty to equalize, amend, alter, and correct the assessment rolls; but no assessment could be increased, or new assessments added, without notice to the persons whose interests were affected. After a law of 1879, and up to July, 1883, the board consisted of five persons, three of whom were nominated by the mayor and two by the president of the Common Council, and all con-

firmed by the council. The first three nominated by the mayor were to determine by lot who should serve the terms of one, two, and three years, and afterwards one new member was appointed each year for a term of three years. One of the two appointed annually, on nomination of the president of the council, was required to reside east, and the other west, of Woodward Avenue. The charter of 1883 abolished the office, and transferred its duties in part to the Board of Assessors, and to the alder- men and councilmen in joint session. The following persons have served as members of the board :
1861 and 1862, J. Gibson, J. Godfrey, J. Burns ; 1863, J. Gibson, J. Burns, J. Hanmer; 1864 and 1865, J. Gibson, C. Van Husan, E. Orr; 1866, J. Gibson, C. Van Husan, J. C. Warner ; 1867, J.

CITY AND WARD COLLECTORS.
The office of city collector began with the incor- poration of the town in 1802. It was again provided for in the Act of 1815, and up to 1824 its duties were combined with those of the marshal. In 1817 the officer was paid by a fee of five per cent on amounts collected, which percentage yielded him $89.36. By ordinance of 1836 the salary was $50 a year, in addition to the percentage allowed for col- lecting county taxes. After 1846, when ward col- lectors were provided, the city collector no longer received the county taxes.
The following official notice, which appeared in a daily paper of September, 1845, must have struck terror to the hearts of delinquent tax-payers:
CITY TAXES.
Positively the last night. The council has granted a short extension of time for the payment of taxes. Persons interested will do well to call at Fireman's Hall, common council room, and pay up. They will find me there every day during this week, from 9 o'clock A. M. to 1216 o'clock P. M. On Monday, the fifteenth inst., I shall proceed to summary measures with all delinquents. Let no man, if delinquent, flatter himself that he will be overlooked or passed by, for I will positively make a clean sweep.
MORGAN BATES, City Collector.
Under the charter of 1855, all special assessments for street paving, sewers, and sidewalks were depos-
ited for payment in the office of the receiver of taxes. If not paid in thirty days, they were then transferred to the city collector's office, five per cent was added for collection, and one per cent for each month they remained unpaid. Prior to 1866 the license fees, for carrying on various kinds of business, were also pay- able to the city collector, who was appointed yearly by the council. The office was abolished by law of 1879, and its duties transferred to the receiver of taxes.
The following persons served as city collectors :
1801, Chas. Francis Girardin; 1804, Jacob Clemens ; 1816, John Meldrum; 1817, Duncan Reid; 1818, H. O. Bronson ; 1819 and 1820, J. W. Colburn; 1821, Robert Garratt; 1822 and 1823, Smith Knapp; 1824, Griffith Roberts; 1825, A. C. Caniff; 1826, John Howard; 1827 and 1828, A. C. Caniff; 1829, S. Phelps; 1830 and 1831, A. C.

The office of ward collector was created by Act of February 23,1846. The duties of the office con- sisted in collecting the city, school, state, and county taxes. Act of May 10, 1861, authorized the collec- tors to collect such other taxes as the receiver of taxes and other city officers might place in their hands. The office was abolished by law of 1879, which gave the receiver of taxes and the county treasurer power to appoint their own collectors.
The ward collectors were as follows :
1846, First Ward : J. Moors. Second Ward : R. J. Connor. Third Ward: D. Michael. Fourth Ward: A. O. Madden. Fifth Ward : Moses Ben- nett. Sixth Ward: E. Benham.
