HISTORY OF THE COUNTY OF SCHENECTADY.

JOHN BRADT.

JOHN BRADT was born in Schenectady, January 24, 1822. His father, Peter Bradt, died as the re- sult of an accident in the younger years of his son, and the latter was thrown upon his own exertions in early life. His education was purely a business one, but he was of such a practical turn of mind that he utilized it with wonderful success, early displaying much sagacity in the settlement of his father's estate. When quite a young man he became confidential clerk and agent of Hon. Henry Yates, of the firm of Yates & MeEntyre, New York, and in this position he developed those qualities which marked him as a correct business man and successful financier, laying the founda- tion of his future monetary success.

On the decease of Mr. Yates, Mr. Bradt, then only about twenty-three years old, became execu- tor and trustee of his vast estate. In this capacity he had entire charge of all affairs of the estate, which necessarily involved transactions in several States of the Union. Several years were consumed in reaching a final settlement, during which Mr. Bradt attended to the interests intrusted to him with a fidelity that won the admiration of all in- terested persons.

He now returned to Schenectady, which was his permanent home. Without solicitation on his part, or opposition from any quarter, he was ap- pointed Treasurer of the Canal Board, a position which he held several years. August 2, 1859, he was appointed Treasurer of the City of Schenec- tady, to succeed Frederick Clute, Jr. April 2, 1860, he was elected to the same position and re- elected each successive term until his death. In an official point of view his name was long a household word in Schenectady. He held this responsible trust longer than any other incumbent of the treasurer's office. The office was conferred term after term on that sound principle, so rarely acted upon, that the office should seek the man, not the man the office, and was a testimonial of

the public confidence in his strict integrity and re- markable financial ability. One who knew him well wrote : "Could it have been possible or right to have extended his sphere of usefulness, we verily believe he would have made an excellent Secre- tary of the Treasury, or of the Department of the Interior, in the general government." An indefatig- able worker, he was always found in his office at- tending to his duties, for he believed that, once elevated to a public trust, it was incumbent on him to discharge all duties faithfully and impartially. A Democrat, and markedly consistent as such, he was no politician, and never indulged in heated discussions upon public affairs.

In his private business relations Mr. Bradt was successful, and he was at the same time so upright in all his dealings as to win the confidence ofall with whom he came in contact. His operations were conducted methodically, and with foresight and sagacity. He made such judicious investments in real property that he came to be regarded as one of the chief real estate owners of the city. He was

looked upon as the best posted authority in regard to local real estate values. His skill as an ac- countant was well known, and his services were often sought by eminent lawyers and jurists throughout the State in the settlement of tedious and difficult litigation suits. From time to time he was entrusted with the settlement of several estates. As a landlord he was always kind and forbearing to the poor, and under a quiet, unex- pressive exterior, those who knew him best dis- cerned a generous, unassuming nature.

In 1854, Mr. Bradt married Miss Margaret A. Hover, of Schenectady. He died suddenly Janu- ary 31, 1881, leaving a widow and four children. His only daughter is the wife of Henry McMullen. The other children are sons. His name will long have a place in the memory of the leading business and professional men of this section, and its place in the history of Schenectady is one of proud eminence.

POLICE.

In the early history of Schenectady, before it was incorporated as a city, it devolved upon the Jus- tices of the Peace, appointed by the Governor, to see that peace and order were maintained, and they had power to appoint certain persons whose duty it was to arrest and report to the Justices all offend- ers against the laws.

In 1788 a law was passed by the Legislature giving the Justices of the Peace authority to appoint six night watchmen and an officer from the citizens residing in the township of Schenectady south- ward from the Mohawk River and not more than three-quarters of a mile from the Dutch Church. These persons so selected were required to keep watch and guard in their turn in such manner and time as the Justices directed. Only one watchman was on duty at a time. The Justices prescribed the rules and regulations to govern the watchmen, and a fine was imposed on any officer neglecting his duty. This was the first regular police service in- stituted at Schenectady.

This manner of appointing night watchmen was repealed when the charter of Schenectady was adopted.

In the act incorporating the city of Schenectady, passed March 26, 1798, the Common Council was given power to designate the number of constables to be elected in each ward. From and up to the present date one constable was elected in each ward, and to them was given the same powers in criminal actions now possessed by the policemen. There was no regular salary attached to this office. The only pay received for services consisted of regularly prescribed fees.

June 17, 1817, the number of night watchmen was increased to eight. They were appointed by the Common Council and were placed under the direction of two Superintendents, also appointed by the Common Council. The Superintendents had entire supervision of the watchmen, prescribing the rules and regulations governing them and the time each should serve. Only two watchmen were on duty at a time. When on patrol, the watchmen

carried a staff five feet long, and were obliged to be on duty from nine o'clock in the evening until day- break. At every hour of the night they announced, in an audible voice, the time. These officers were required to maintain the peace and see that the laws were enforced and obeyed. A watch-house was provided for the imprisonment of all offenders against the law.

March 10, 1815, a law was passed by the Legis- lature, creating a Board of Magistrates, consisting of two persons selected by the Common Council from the Aldermen or Justices of the Peace, who were empowered to attend to the relief of the poor and to punish petty offences committed within the city limits. They were required to receive the report of the night watchman every morning and to proceed to the examination of all persons appre- hended by the watchman. The Common Council selected one or more constables, called police constables, who were required to serve all warrants, summonses and processes by the Board of Magis- trates. These constables were expected to arrest and report all offenders against the laws and ordi- nances of the city, and bring such persons for trial before the Board, which had jurisdiction similar to the present police justices. The magistrates were allowed an annual salary of one hundred and fifty dollars, and the constables fifty dollars.

About 1830 a High Constable was chosen by the Common Council, pursuant to an act of the Legislature. He represented the entire city, and had jurisdiction over criminal matters such as is now exercised by the Chief of Police. His term of office was limited to one year. The High Consta- ble and the Ward Constables continued to exercise their police powers in maintaining peace and order until the Capital Police Force was organized in 1867.

March 28, 1842, the office of Police Justice was created by an act of the Legislature, which pro- vided that the Board of Supervisors should appoint one of the Justices of the Peace of the city to at- tend to complaints, examinations and trials of a criminal nature. April ist of the following year another act of the Legislature was passed, provid- ing that the Police Justice should be appointed by the Governor, with the consent of the Senate, and that his term of office should be for three years. March 31, 1848, another act was passed, providing that the office of Police Justice, High Constable and four Justices of the Peace should be elective offi- ces. The term of Police Justice was extended to four years and that of High Constable and Justices of the Peace to three years.

April 22, 1865, a law was passed by the Legis- lature creating the City of Albany and the several adjoining towns a district known as the Capital Police District of the State of New York. This act provided that three Commissioners and two Advisory Commissioners of Capital Police should be appointed by the Governor, with the consent of the Senate. To these Commissioners, called a Po- lice Board, was intrusted the appointment of Su- perintendents, Captains, Sergeants and Patrolmen, and had the entire supervision of all matters relat-

ing to the police government of the district. April 10, 1866, by an act of the Legislature, the Capital Police District was extended so as to embrace the City of Schenectady, which city was limited to the service of seven patrolmen, at an annual salary of five hundred dollars each, to be paid out of the contributions of the city to the Capital Police Fund. A. W. Hunter, of this city, was appointed Police Commissioner for this city.

It seems that the passage of this act was not done in response to the wishes of the people of this city, for the following year the Board of Super- visors passed a resolution condemning the passage of the act, and asking for its appeal. But nothing was done in this direction beyond remonstrating against it, and this system of police protection re- mained in force till the passage of the Act to Or- ganize and Establish a Police for the City of Sche- nectady, April 15, 1870.

The passage of this act provided for the election of two Police Commissioners by the people, who, in conjunction with the Mayor, should constitute a Police Board, having the general charge of all mat- ters pertaining to the Police force. These Com- missioners are elected for two years, and perform their duties without compensation. The act cre- ating them provides that they shall select not more than ten policemen, whose term of service shall continue during good behavior and capacity to per- form the duties required. The pay of policemen is fixed by the Commissioners, and cannot be less than five hundred dollars nor more than eight hun- dred dollars per annum. A Chief of Police and an Assistant Chief are selected from the ten mem- bers composing the force by the Board. The Chief of Police, under the direction of the Board, is the chief executive officer of the Police Department, and is obliged to keep a book of records of pro- ceedings in his department, and all the services rendered by himself and the several policemen. During the absence of the Police Justice, the Chief possesses the power of that officer to entertain com- plaints for criminal offences, and to issue warrants for the arrest of persons charged with criminal ac- tions. The salary of the Chief of Police is fixed by the Police Board, when approved by the Com- mon Council, and cannot be less than five hundred nor more than twelve hundred dollars per year.

The present Police Commissioners are: Peter M. Doty and George Buskerk; Chief of Police, Wil- liam S. Campbell; Assistant Chief, Frank V. De Forrest.

Salary of the Chief is $850; Assistant Chief, $800; patrolmen, $730.

When the first police force was organized under the Capital Police system, the city furnished a station-house in Wall street, in the present store oc- cupied by Thomas Ody. Here were provided suit- able cells for the confinement of prisoners until final disposition was made of them before the Police Justice. A Police Court was arranged on the second floor over the Police Station.

This building was used for this purpose until the completion of the present City Hall, in 1881. Here commodious apartments are provided for

Police Court, Police Justice's offices, office of Chief of Police, sleeping apartment for Patrolmen, and cells for the confinement of prisoners.

FREDERICK EISENMENGER, Police Justice, was ap- pointed by the Common Council May 2, 1882, and elected to the same office for four years in April, 1883. He is also chairman of the Board of Magistrates to distribute relief to the poor.

WILLIAM L. CAMPBELL, Chief of Police, has been a police officer here since August 3, 1869. He has served the city faithfully, and from the accounts kept in his office, records back to 1798 can be traced.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Before Schenectady was incorporated as a city, the means for the extinguishment of fires were limited to the use of leather buckets. Each dwell- ing was supplied with as many as the authorities prescribed. Every able-bodied citizen, in case of fire, was obliged to render all the assistance within his power, and any refusal to do so was an offence against the safety of the inhabitants, deemed worthy of a fine and, in certain cases, imprisonment. The first law passed by the Legislature relating to protection from fires in Schenectady was on March 1, 1788. This act provided that the Justices of the Peace should select from the inhabitants living south of the Mohawk River, and not more than three-quarters of a mile from the Dutch Church, twenty able-bodied citizens to act as firemen, such persons to have the care and management of all fire apparatus and to render assistance at fires. The Justices made and established the rules and regulations governing the firemen, and had power to remove any fireman for disobeying them. The persons appointed under this act probably consti- tuted the first regular fire company ever organized in this city.

The first date we find any reference made to fire engines was in 1797. September 11th of this year the trustees of Schenectady, at a regular meeting, directed by resolution that a letter be sent to Alex- ander Ellice, London, England, directing him to purchase two fire engines, one large one at a cost of 120 guineas, and a small house engine at a cost of 20 guineas. These engines were soon after ob- tained and used for many years. They were operated by hand-small and crude affairs even compared with the hand engines used at a later date. The larger of these two engines was about eight or ten feet in length, between three and four feet wide, and stood three feet high. The condens- ing case, inclosing the works, was placed in the center of the machine, considerably higher than the main portion of the case. On the top was an elbow or "goose-neck," to which, when the engine was at work, was attached a pipe, through whichi the stream of water was directed upon the flames. As this engine had no suction, it was supplied by means of buckets, the water being drawn from neighboring wells, carried to and emptied into the engine through an aperture in the side of the box, so as not to interfere with the working of the en- gine. This box held many gallons of water. The

arms or pumping handles were placed fore and aft, working lengthwise of the box, the bows striking on the ends; and, when full manned, four men could work on each arm, making eight in all. Such were the engines in use at this time, which were considered instruments of utility and beauty.

When Schenectady was incorporated as a city there were two fire companies, the members of which were appointed by the Mayor and Common Council. At this period, and for a num- ber of years after, it was a duty incumbent upon the Mayor and Aldermen to attend all fires and give personal supervision to the work of the fire- men. Indeed, at this time the city magistrates performed the same services in later years dele- gated to the chief engineer and his assistants.

May 12, 1798, an ordinance was passed by the Common Council which provided that two persons should be appointed for each ward, called Inspectors, who were required at certain times in each month to inspect the dwellings in their respective wards and ascertain if proper pre- caution was taken to guard against fire, and to make a report to the Aldermen of the condition of the buildings in the ward as to their safety from fire. This ordinance contained many regulations respecting the necessary things to be done by prop- erty owners for the prevention of fires, and any citizen whose dwelling did not comply with these regulations, who was reported by the inspectors, had a limited time to remedy such defect. If he failed to do so he was fined.
