This act was passed May 12, 1600. The following officers of the town of Salem: subscribed to the faith or creed contained therein between 1697 and 1706 : Jonathan Bure, Richard Darking, Obadiah Holmes, Ryncer Van Hyst, John Holmes, William Rumsey, John Bacon, and Thomas Woodruff, justices; Wil- liam Hall, Jonathan Bure, Richard John-on, Jept.

CITY OF SALEM.
No decisive action seems to have been taken for some years thereafter, but the question was agitated from time to time, until, in response to the expressed desire of many citizens, the township committer called a meeting to be held on Tuesday, Jan. 26, 1858. for allowing the citizens a direct vote on the question of having the town of Salem incorporated, said vote lu be by ballot " for charter" or " no charter." The result of the halloting was a majority of eighty-eight votes " for charter," the whole number of votes cast having been four hundred and twenty-six. The "aet to incorporate the city of Salem, N. J.," was approved Feb. 25, 1858.
It provided " that all that part of the county of Salem known as the township of Salem shall be, and is hereby, incorporated into a city, to be called the city of Salem."
It also provided for the election of "one mayor, six councilmen, one recorder or clerk, one marshal, one or more assessors, one collector, who shall be er officio city treasurer, two chosen frecholder-, one school superintendent, two trustees of public schools, two overseers of the poor, two surveyors of the high- ways, three commissioners of appeal, one judge of election, and one or more pound-keepers.
Amendments to this act were passed and approved March 18, 1859, March 22, 1800, March 28, 1866, March 7, 1867, April 1, 1868, March 1, 1871, and in 1872.
The amendment of 1800 established the office of street commissioners. The amendment of 1867 au- thorized the division of the city into wards, as follows :
" That the city of Salem shall be divided Into three wards, in the osnu- her following, viz :- All that part of sald city lying east of a Ine begin- ulug at the city line In the tulddle of South Street, and following the middle of said street, by its varionn courses, to the tolddle of Fenwick street ; thence by the middle of Fenwick Steret to the uil J.llo of l'artett Street, to Its present terminus; and thence continuing the last course of wild street to the creek, constituting the northern boundary of wald city, shall be the Fist Ward of raid city. All that part of sald city lying west of n lino begluning ot the city line, In the middle of a road, being the continuation of Oak Street, and following the middle of said road to Oak Street ; thence by the mhildle u? Oak Street to its terminus on Bruni- way ; and thence by the last course of said Oak Street to the creek afore- mid, shall be the Weet Want of said city ; and all that part of eaid city lying between the two above described lines shall be the Middle Ward of "sid city."
The amendment of 1868 divided the city into two election preeinets, and designated such officers as should be thereafter elected. Following is the text of Sections 1 and 2:
"1. B. it ended by the Senate and General lucently of the hills of Min Jure y. That the city of Si. in sball hereafter be diride I into two pro- «incta, iu the manner following, that is to say : All that part of the city of Salem lying and being on the a utheast side af n certiln line berini- ving at the creck lu the centre of Market Street, and running thence along the centre of mid street in the course thereof; thence between Helden's store and the Nelson House. In the line of illvision thepouf, continuing on In a straight line to the limits of the wild city, shall com- ! Free the precinct, which shall be known as and called by the name of the En.t Precinct ; at] all that part of the city of Sal-or lying and 14'uz on the northwesterly side of the said certain line shall compose ora precinct, which shall Lo known as and called by the namo of the
West Precinct: and the Common Council of said city shall have full : "wer to fix and det tudine other precincts in sail city, as the said Common Council may from time to time Jeem necessary.
"2. Andthen. meted, That there shall hereafter he elected in the said city, by the legal voters thereof throughout the whole city, one mayor, who shall be keeper of the city seal, and hold h's office for three years, after the exp ration of the term of the present mayor; three Common Councilnien, annually, each of whom shall holl his office for three years; one recorder or clerk, annually, and whose compensation shall be fixed and determined by Common Council ; one or more assessors, nonmally ; ... one collector, who shall be er ofici city treasurer ; three choseu feelmulders, in, for, and throughout the said city ; one superin- tendent of public schools, annually, who shall hold their offices respect- ively for three years; two overseers of the poor, nuovally ; two survey- orsof the highways, nunnally ; three comin'ssioners of appeal, annually ; two pound-korpers, annually ; twee constables, annually."
The amendment passed and approved March i, 1871, divided the city into two wards, called the " East and West Wards," doing away with the third or " Middle Ward," and authorized the election of specified ward officers in each. Sections 1 and 2 read as follows :
"1 ... . All that part of ond city lying cant mind southeast of a cer- tain line beginning nt the city line fo the middle of Market Street, at the bridge at the foot of said street, and following the line of the middle of said street to the middle of Broadway, thence down the middle of Broadway to the n.idelle of Oak Street, thenco by the middle of Oak Street, by It- various courses, to the city line, shall ba the East Ward of said city; and all that part of said city lying northwest of the above- described Hines shall be the West Ward of gold city. -
" 2. . And be it enacted, That the ward officers shall be for onch ward : four common councilmen, one seversor, who shall be one of the judges of the election ; une chosen freeholder, four tinstres of public schools, one uverveer of the pour, three commissioners of appeal in cases of tax- Atlon, two surveyor of the highways, one or more jound-keepers, obe constable, one clerk, who shall be clerk of the election ; two justices of the peace, and one judge of the election."
The amendments passed in 1859, 1860, 1866, and 1872 are not of a nature to render them interesting historically.
The first city election was held, pursuant to a pro- vision of the act incorporating the city, on Tuesday, March 9, 1818. The names of the officers elected will be found in the following civil list, which cm- braces the names of most persons who have been honored with official preferment in Salem from 1858 to 1882, inclusive :
