valuation in making taxes. That the division be made by the selectmen, and that no society have the right to shut the house against others unless to occupy it for religious purposes."
It was found necessary to rebuild the bridge near the Harrington mill this year, and at a special meeting on the 18th of June, Joseph M. Forristall, Daniel W. Farrar and Lyman Wright were chosen a committee to superintend the building of the same. This committee caused an arched stone bridge to be built; and at a meeting the following January, the town "voted to accept of the doing of the committee in building a stone bridge;" also voted to raise $450 by special tax to defray town charges.
In 1833, it was voted "that the visiting of schools by the Superintending Committee be dispensed with this year," and in 1842, it was further voted "to adopt the law ex- eusing Superintending School Committees from examining the primary schools."
In 1836, the United States government had a surplus of thirty-six millions of dollars lying in the treasury, which had accumulated from the sale of public lands, and the amount was increasing, as at that time the public debt had all been paid. Congress voted to distribute this among the different states, New Hampshire receiving over eight hundred thousand dollars, which the Legislature voted to divide among the towns according to population. The amount received by Troy cannot be given. The ques- tion of its disposition seems to have been an important one as it was brought before the annual meeting for two or three years. David W. Farrar and Daniel Cutting were the agents chosen to receive the money, which they were to loan to individuals in small sums, but finally the select- men were authorized to appropriate the money for town purposes, under an act of the Legislature, passed in 1838.

HISTORY OF TROY.
The question of temperance reform received considera- tion by the citizens of the town in 1838, the following article appearing in the warrant for the annual meeting that year: "Is it expedient that a law be enacted by the General Court, prohibiting the sale of wine, or other spirituous liquors, except for chemical, medicinal, or me- chanical purposes." The vote stood fifty-five in favor and twenty-one against.
For several years large numbers of men and women had been ardently engaged in the prosecution of this reform, and while great and gratifying success had been gained, it was considered incomplete, and the question of more stringent laws, prohibiting its sale, was being agitated, and an effort made to have the Legislature pass such an aet. Four years later the question again received consideration upon the article, "Is it expedient that a law be enacted for the suppression of tippling shops," fifty voting for and thirty-six against.
In 1839, it was voted that the road tax should be paid in money, and in 1848, that the Superintending School Committee be allowed three dollars each for their services.
Up to 1840, the only approach to the sawmill which stood near where the blanket mill now stands, was by a narrow path on private ground; but in the fall of this vear, the selectmen, on petition of Charles Carpenter and others, laid out a new highway from the meeting house to the mill.
Several town meetings were held during the year 1844, and the following items are taken from the votes passed :
Voted. That the taxes be collected by the first of March next, or the collector receive no pay for collecting.
Voted. To discontinue the old Turnpike road, running from near

Amos Stearns' house towards Elijah Bowker's, to the boundary line of the town.
Voted. That the bell be east over and made into a new one.
Voted. That an agent be appointed to get the bell repaired, and that seventy-five dollars be appropriated for that purpose.
Voted. That Daniel W. Farrar be the said agent.
The Cheshire Railroad was being constructed through the town in the years 1846 and 1847, and consequently a large number of transient laborers were employed, and at the annual meeting the latter year, it was voted, " that the Irish laborers be excused from taxation the present year."
In 1846, the following regulations were established by the firewards :
By virtue of the authority in ns vested by law, we the subscribers, a majority of the firewards in the town of Troy, in the County of Cheshire, do establish the following regulations respecting the kindling, guarding and safe keeping, and for the prevention and extinguishment of fires to be in force in said town.
1st. All persons are requested to furnish themselves with ladders and buckets according to the State law, as adopted by the said town.
2d. No person shall place and keep any dry ashes in any wooden vessel under the penalty of five dollars for each offence.
3d. No person shall keep a wooden door at any fireplace under the penalty of five dollars for each offence.
4th. No person shall carry any lighted pipe or cigar into any barn, stable, or shed, or into any building while finishing, or into any cabinet or honse joiner or wheelwright's shop, nor shall any person carry any lighted candle or lamp into any barn, unless the same be inclosed in a lantern, under the penalty of three dollars for each offence.
5th. The foregoing regulations shall take effect and be in force on and after the 15th of May, A. D. 1846.

HISTORY OF TROY.
The Ward Hill was formerly one of the most difficult in the town, and was for a long time the subject of com- plaint. Many efforts had been made to avoid this, by constructing a road on different ground, but it was found impossible to lay out a road on any ground which should be satisfactory to all parties concerned. But in the fall of 1849, the seleetmen, after a careful examination of the whole matter, laid out the present road on the petition of John Lawrence and others, which was completed and opened the following year. They also, in accordance with a vote of the town on the petition of Charles Carpenter and others, laid out a road extending from Mr. Carpen- ter's sawmill to the bridge near the foot of the Ward Hill.
Previous to the year 1852, and for several years after- wards, all reports of the town officers were written and placed on file with other papers, but this year it was voted that the selectmen should get the report of the Superintending School Committee printed, and that every family in town should be furnished with a copy.
It was also voted to allow engine men one dollar and fifty cents each for their services.
The amount of highway tax appropriated for winter use was very often insufficient to keep the roads suitably broken out, and individuals would have bills presented for breaking roads, to the payment of which objection was frequently made, and the question of paying an extra sum for this service in the winter was brought up for discus- sion ; and at the annual meeting in 1857, it was voted to raise a highway tax of one hundred and fifty dollars in money, which should be appropriated as other highway taxes to the several surveyors, to be expended in the win- ter, the amount unexpended to be reported to the select- men before the first of March.
It was voted to procure blinds and a lightning rod for

the town hall, in 1858. The next year Dr. A. M. Caverly was chosen an agent to get a lithograph of the town house put into the "History of Troy," which was soon to be published, and the sum of sixteen dollars was appro- priated for the purpose of defraying the expense of the same.
The following resolution was adopted :
WHEREAS: Dr. A. M. Caverly, having procured at his own expense and arduous labor, a very complete History of the Town of Troy,
RESOLVED. That we as a town tender him a vote of thanks, and as a token of our esteem, we pay the expense of his lithograph which is to appear in said History.
This year it was voted to have three hundred copies of the selectmen's report printed.
Upon the question of the expediency of purchasing a county poor farm for the support of county paupers, the vote was two in the affirmative and sixty-four in the negative.
At this time a contagious disease appeared among the cattle in town, and the selectmen were authorized to take such steps to prevent its spread as they thought best.
In 1861, it was voted to have the room under the town hall finished, two hundred dollars being appropriated for that purpose. It was also " Resolved: That if individuals feel disposed to contribute a sufficient sum to finish the lower part of the town hall for a school room, they have the privilege, provided however, that the said contribu- tions shall be put into the hands of a competent commit- tee appointed by the town, and expended under their direction." John Grimes, Ira Boyden and David W. Far- rar were chosen for this committee.
E. P. Kimball, John Grimes and Edmund Bemis were selected to procure a new bell for the town house and to dispose of the old one.
Three hundred dollars was raised in 1862, to be put
182
HISTORY OF TROY.
with a sum already raised, for the purpose of purchasing a fire engine and hose.
At a special town meeting held June 18, 1864, E. P. Kimball, Stephen B. Farrar and David Wheeler were chosen a committee to finish a room in the lower part of the town hall, for an engine room, three hundred dollars being raised for the purpose.
At the election in November, 1864, upon the question : "Is it expedient that a convention be called to revise the constitution."
1st. To enable the qualified voters of the State, engaged in the mili- tary or naval service of the country, in time of war, insurrection, or rebellion, to exercise the right of suffrage while absent from the State;
2d. To abolish all religious tests as qualifications for office ;
3d. To diminish the number of members of the House of . Repre- sentatives ;
4th. To increase the number of members of the Senate;
5th. To make provisions for future amendments of the constitution ; the vote stood thirty-four for and thirty-eight against.
An article was inserted in the warrant for the annual meeting, March, 1866, "To see if the town will vote to instruct their representative to the next Legislature to use his influence to have the name of Troy changed to that of Monadnock." .
This was doubtless inserted on account of the trouble and inconvenience in postal, express and baggage matters, arising from a confusion and similarity in writing the names Troy, N. H., and Troy, N. Y. The vote was fifteen in favor and fifty-four against.
November, 1871, the town voted to discontinue that part of the highway running across the common, beginning near the Chapman house and running in a southerly direc- tion to nearly opposite the "tin shop house," and to lay out a new one beginning near the same point and running easterly to a point nearly opposite the town hall, inter- secting with the road there.

Barrett Ripley, C. W. Whitney and William Butler were chosen a committee to fence, grade and beautify the common, four hundred dollars being appropriated for the purpose.
Sometime previous to the year 1872, a brass band had been formed and had become involved in debt in procuring the necessary equipments, and the town voted to appro- priate two hundred and fifty dollars to relieve them from debt. It was also voted to sell the State bonds at par, as occasion arose, to pay town debts.
In 1875, it was voted to redistrict the town for school purposes, and the following persons were chosen for that purpose: District No. 1, Barrett Ripley; District No. 2, Chas. W. Whitney; District No. 3, Edmund Bemis; District No. 4, William N. Watson; District No. 5, Daniel J. Fife; Distriet No. 6, Alvah S. Clark.
In the warrant for the annual meeting for 1878 was an article to see if the town would vote to procure a soldier's monument, but no action was taken.
June 4, 1853, the proprietors of the old meeting house met agreeable to a call made by Daniel W. Farrar, Eas- man Alexander and Elijah Harrington, under an act passed by the Legislature in 1848, providing for the sale of meet- ing houses in certain cases. There were present :
Stephen Wheeler. Elijah Harrington.
Luther Chapman.
Easman Alexander. David W. Farrar.
Lyman Wright. Peletiah Hodgkins. Daniel Cutting.
Daniel W. Farrar. Abel Baker.
Artemas Fairbanks.
It was voted to sell the house at auction, and Daniel W. Farrar, Lyman Wright and Artemas Fairbanks were chosen a committee to sell and convey the same, the select- men of Jaffrey being appointed to make the division of the
184

proceeds among the proprietors. The house was pur- chased by the town.
An article was inserted in the warrant for the March meeting, 1855, to see if the town would vote any direc- tions as to what should be done with the old meeting house, and choose an agent or committee, with power to purchase land for the removal of the house if thought ex- pedient, or take any action in relation to the same. A committee of five were chosen, consisting of Joseph M. Forristall, Leonard Farrar, Lyman Wright, Abel Baker and Brown Nurse, to investigate and see what could be done and report at the next town meeting.
A special meeting was held April 25, for the purpose of hearing the report of the above committee, and to see if the town would remove the house to any lot that might be purchased; to choose an agent or committee to pur- chase land and take a deed of the same; to carry the removal of the house into effect and to submit a plan or plans to finish the same.
The committee made a report, but no further action was taken and the matter was brought up again at the annual meeting in 1856, when the question was referred to a committee consisting of Daniel W. Farrar, Brown Nurse and Ira Boyden, who were to report at a meeting to be held not later than the first of September, following, and at a meeting held on the second day thereof, they submitted the following :
We recommend that the town decide first to remove or not to re- move said house.
We recommend that the town cause a hall to be finished in the upper part of said house, 40 by 45 feet, with a stairway about 8 feet wide in the center of the front part, about four feet from the front door, and occupying about eleven feet in the ascent. To lower down the windows about three feet and put a gothic head upon the windows; the pulpit windows to be closed up. The hall to be laid with a new floor and in
185

every respect to be well and thoroughly finished, and to be furnished with fifty settees. To finish a room upon each side of said stairs of about fifteen by seventeen feet, and to put up two stacks of chimneys in the partition between the hall and these rooms. All of which your committee think may be done for the old material and five hundred dollars.
That the roof be repaired by patching, which we think may be done to last eight or ten years.
That the house be well painted outside with two coats of good paint, which we estimate to cost from $100 to $125.
That the pews be taken out and the pew floors placed upon a level with aisle floors, and we estimate the old pew material will pay the expense.
That the town choose an agent or committee to carry the above report into effect, with such instructions as the town shall give him or them"
This report was adopted, and it was voted to move the house, by turning it one quarter round, into the north- east corner of the common, within from eight to twelve feet to the north and east line of said common.
All the sections of the report were adopted, and a committee was chosen by ballot to carry these measures into effect, consisting of David W. Farrar, Edward P. Kimball and Ira Boyden.
In addition, this committee was instructed to have a good cellar under the house, provided it would not cost more than one hundred dollars extra.
The work having been completed, it was accepted by the town at the annual meeting in 1858, and it was voted to procure blinds for the whole house and to have a new lightning rod. Edwin Buttrick, Brown Nurse, David W. Farrar, Edward P. Kimball and A. M. Caverly were chosen to prepare suitable by-laws for the regulation of the hall, which were in due time reported and adopted.
The hall having become too small for the needs of the town, especially on occasions of public gatherings or entertainments requiring the use of a stage, the question
24

of an enlargement was agitated for several years, but no definite action was taken until the March meeting, 1893, when two thousand dollars was voted to be raised for that purpose, and Charles W. Whitney, William J. Boyden and Warren W. Kimball were chosen a building committee.
-
TOWN HALL.
An addition about twenty-five feet in length was built on to the north end of the hall, the land being given by James L. Stanley. The upper part was finished as a large and commodious stage, with suitable dressing rooms and closets, with an entrance from the lower floor. The lower part was finished for the use of the fire department, with the addition of a hose tower. The old side seats in the hall were removed, and the interior decorated and furnished with inside blinds, increasing the capacity of the hall very materially.

TOWN OFFICERS AND APPROPRIATIONS.
LIST OF CONSTABLES .- TOWN OFFICERS .- APPROPRIATIONS .- VOTES FOR GOVERNOR .- SCHOOL COMMITTEES AND SCHOOL BOARDS .- COPY OF EARLY CHECK LIST.
In former times the office of town constable was one of considerable importance, and from one to three were usually chosen at each annual meeting. Their jurisdiction did not extend beyond the town, but their duties were similar and of greater scope and the position more impor- tant perhaps, than that of the deputy sheriff of the pres- ent day, for they represented the majesty of the law, and were charged with the execution of warrants and the ser- vice of summonses. It was usually the custom to appoint the tax collector one of the constables, as in the discharge of his duties it was necessary that he should have author- ity to enforce the law.
The following list gives the names of those chosen as constables from the incorporation of the town until 1860:
