The counties of New York, Kings, Westchester and Richmond were, by an act passed April 15, 1857, united in one Police District. By an act passed April 10, 1860, the Police District was extended to embrace also the towns of Newtown, Flushing and Jamaica, in Queens county ; the number of Commissioners was reduced from five to three, to be appointed by the Governor and Senate for a term of six years. Those first appointed were classified so that a vacancy would occur once in two years, and the Commissioners holding under the first act were superseded by those appointed under the latter. An act passed March 16, 1864 (ch. 41), changed the number of Commissioners to four, and their term of office to eight years, ex- cept those first appointed. The official term expired on the first day of March. Their names and terms were mentioned in the act. The law provided for the election of their successors in the same manner as Regents of the University are chosen. The remaining Commis- sioners were to fill vacancies during the interim of the Legislature, persons so appointed to hold office until the Legislature elected their successors. By the provisions of an act passed in 1866 (ch. 74), the Police Board, with four Sanitary Commissioners, to be appointed by the Governor and Senate, were created a Board of Health for the Metro- politan Police District, and by another act passed the same session (ch. 578), the power to grant licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquors within the District, except in Westchester county, was con- ferred on the Health Board. Chapter 381 of the Laws of 1870 repealed the act of 1866 so far as its provisions related to the city of Brooklyn, and conferred the powers previously exercised by the Board on local officers appointed by the Common Council upon nomination by the Mayor. By an act passed April 5th of the same year, the Health Department of the city of New York was reorganized to consist of the Police Commis- sioners of the city, the Health Officer of the Port, and four officers to be appointed for the term of five years, by the Mayor. The several officers to constitute the Commissioners of Health of the city of New York. The act established four bureaux, the chief officer of one to be designated City Sanitary Inspector, another to be known as the Sanitary Permit Burean, a third the Bureau of Street Clean- ing, and a chief officer of the fourth, to be called the Register of Records ; a subsequent law of the same year directed the transfer to 494 TOWNS. the new Board of the books, property and effects in the possession of the Metropolitan Board of Health and conferred the powers exer- cised by that Board upon the Commissioners of Health, to be there- after exclusively exercised by them in the city of New York. Chapter 636 of the Laws of 1874 extended the powers of the Commissioners to the waters of the bay, up to and within the quarantine limits as established by law, but not to be held to interfere with the powers and duties of the Commissioners of Quarantine or Health Officer of the Port. The laws relating to the Metropolitan Sanitary District and Board of Health so far as they applied to Westchester county were repealed by chapter 433 of the Laws of 1871, and chapter 160 of the Laws of 1872 authorized the appointment of five Sanitary Commissioners for the county of Richmond, upon whom the powers previously exercised by the Metropolitan Board were conferred.
