HISTORY OF HUDSON COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.
" Resolr 1, That the thaoks of the citizens of Hudson County are due to the Board of Chosen Frechoblers for the prompt, faithful and ener- g the manner in which they have proseented the work of erecting the public buildings ;
" To the building committee of that Board for their attention to, and discharge of the trust committed to them ; and also for the liberality and good taste they have displayed in furnishing the court-roout, the grand jury room, the clerk's and surrogate's offices, and all the other offices in the building ;
" To the contractor, Mr. William Brown, for the faithful and workman- like manner in which he has fulfilled his contract, and more than ful- filled it, if we may judge from the substantial and elegantly furnished building in which we ar . now assembled ;
"To Mr. Kirk, the able and accomplished architect, who furnished the plan ;
" To Mr. Daniel G. Van Winkle, the superintendent ; in short, to all who have had any agency in the construction of this beautiful edifice."
Other County Buildings.1-The county almshouse, lunatic asylum and penitentiary are located at Secau- cus, on the old Pinhorn plantation. In 1729 the plantation was said to contain six hundred acres of timber, two hundred cleared land, one thousand acres meadow, new house and barn, two orchards of about twelve hundred bearing apple-trees. Three hundred acres of this plantation now constitute the "poor- house farm." The purchase of this farm for county purposes was first agitated in November, 1845. It was not, however. until December, 1855, that the Board of Chosen Frecholders resolved to buy it. Several town- ships and cities had been set off from Bergen without reserving their right to the farm, so that, in 1874, it was owned by Bergen, North Bergen, Hoboken and Hudson City. On March 7, 1871. the Legislature named commissioners from these four municipalities, with power to convey the same to the county. The purchase was completed, and, in February, 1862, the title passed to the county at a cost of twelve thousand dollars. Preparations were immediately made for the erection of the almshouse. James McLoughlin con- tracted for the carpenter's work at fourteeen thousand six hundred dollars, and William C. White for the mason's work, at twelve thousand five hundred dol- lars. The building was completed in 1863, and the first person received as an inmate was Andrew Donohoe. Aug. 25, 1863. The building has first-class accommodations for over five hundred inmates.
The contract for the penitentiary was awarded to Peter Doyle and David Ewling, Aug. 9, 1866, for "ighty-three thousand four hundred and fifty-six dol- lars It was completed in 1870, and Patrick Warren appointed its first keeper, and Michael Kinney, con- victed of breaking and entering and larceny, admitted its first inmate, Sept. 19, 1870.
The Lunatic Asylum was completed in 1873. The first patients were received March 8, 1873. The building has accommodations for one hundred and fifty patients.

By the act to reorganize the local government of Jersey City, approved April 4, 187t, the wards in Jersey City were abolished and allermanic districts erected in their stead, each district Ining entitled to three chosen freeholders. Candidates were chosen under the old as well as the new law. Those elected under the old law were whmitted into the board ; those elected under the new law were excluded. The latter then instituted proceedings in the Supreme Court to compel the board to admit them to their seats. In this they were successful at the November term (& Vroom's Reports, 269), and took their seats Dee. 1, 1871, as representatives in the board fromt Jersey City. They were as follows :
