CHAPTER
MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS AND STATISTICS
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND OTHER COUNTY OFFICERS-Although the board of supervisors has existed probably since 1777, there is no provision of constitution or statute that prescribes the powers and duties of that board until a much later date. The constitution of 1777 made no reference to such a board, and the con- stitution of 1821 recognizes the fact that there are supervisors, but makes no provision for a board of supervisors. Section 7 of article 4 of the constitution of 1821 provides what officers should be appointed by the supervisors, and makes some other provisions in regard to the conduct of the affairs of the county. The first legislation of importance upon the subject was the act of April 8, 1810, which fixes the duties of the supervisors in a town. The election of town officers was provided for by the act of March 27, 1801. The first constitutional pro- vision in regard to the board of supervisors, as such, is section 26 of article 3 of the constitution of 1894, and is as follows :
"There shall be in each county, except in a county wholly included in a city, a board of supervisors, to be composed of such members and elected in such a manner and for such a period as is or may be provided by law. In a city which includes an entire county, or two or more entire counties, the powers and duties of a board of supervisors may be devolved upon the municipal assembly, common council, board of aldermen or other legislative body of the city."
There had been legislation upon the subject of the powers of the boards of supervisors from time to time prior to the adoption of the constitutional pro- vision above referred to, notably in 1875, when, by the act of June 5 of that year, the board of supervisors was given many additional powers to those which it had possessed prior to that time. A general revision of the law was made and adopted as the county law in 1909. This statute is known as chapter 11 of the consolidated laws passed February 17, 1909, and contains general provisions for all the powers of the board of supervisors. The statute is quite complete in itself, and extends the powers of the board beyond those which it had possessed prior to the enactment of the law. The election of supervisors was for many years held in the spring, and the supervisor was elected for one year, but this was changed by the act of 1901. One supervisor was elected for each town, and one for each ward, and for many years the number in the county has been even so that it frequently occurs that the board is divided evenly between the two great parties, and it is often extremely difficult to organize the board, as required by law. At the present time there are 48 supervisors in the board, which is un- fortunate, as it would be much better if the board were uneven, so that one or the other of the great parties would have control of it and be responsible to the people for its acts.

HISTORY OF ONEIDA COUNTY
The county officers from time to time have been changed, and the number occasionally increased. At present they consist of sheriff, county judge, special county judge, county clerk, county treasurer, surrogate, special surrogate, cor- oners and county comptroller, the last named office being new, having been estab- lished in 1910, the first comptroller being elected at the fall election of that year. There is a county superintendent of highways, but he is appointed by the board of supervisors, and Paul Schultze occupies that position at the present time.

HISTORY OF ONEIDA COUNTY
UTICA
Prior to the organization of Utica as a village it had existed as a considerable hamlet known as Fort Schuyler, and, to distinguish it from Fort Schuyler (Fort Stanwix) at Rome, it was frequently called Old Fort Schuyler. Having a population which was deemed sufficient for a more formal organization than had previously existed, application was made to the Legislature for a special charter incorporating the hamlet under the name of the Village of Utica. An act was passed April 3, 1798, entitled "An act to vest certain powers in the freeholders and inhabitants of the village commonly known by the name of Old Fort Schuyler." The first section of the act described the territory to be incorporated as follows: "That the district or country contained within the following bounds, to wit: Beginning at a point or place on the south side of the Mohawk river where the division line between lot number 97 and 98 in Cosby's Manor strikes the said river, thence running southerly in the said di- vision line to a point in the same forty chains southerly of the great road lead- ing to Fort Stanwix, thence east 37 degrees south to the easterly line of the county of Oneida, thence northerly in the said county line to the Mohawk river, thence westerly up the waters thereof to the place of beginning, shall hereafter be known and distinguished by the name of the Village of Utica." The act also provides who the qualified voters should be at the meeting to be held for the election of officers of the village; provided also for the election of five freeholders, residents of the village, as trustees. It will be noticed here that the officers were confined to freeholders, in other words, those who owned real estate. The right of suffrage was somewhat broader, as a man 21 years of age and paying a certain rent was entitled to vote, but under this charter, could not be a trustee. The trustees were given general powers over the vil- lage, and the right to appoint a fire company. The officers for the respective years that this charter was in effect cannot be ascertained, for the reason that all the records were destroyed by fire in February, 1804.
The inhabitants of the village were not satisfied for many years with their charter as it existed, and in 1805 presented a petition to the legislature for a more comprehensive charter. After setting forth the reasons for desiring the change the petition closed as follows: "For these and other reasons your pe- titioners therefore pray, that your honorable body will grant to the freeholders, inhabitants and trustees of the said village, powers similar to those enjoyed by the village of Poughkeepsie; in order that the above and many other existing evils may be avoided; that the bounds of said village may be extended, and that the annual meetings of the inhabitants of said village may be hereafter on the first Tuesday in April in each year."
The trustees of the village for the first year were Jeremiah VanRensselaer, Jr., Nathan Williams, Francis A. Bloodgood, Jerathmel Ballou and Erastus Clark. Mr. VanRensselaer was elected president, and D. W. Childs, clerk. Isaac Coe was elected treasurer, and Worden Hammond collector.
At this time officers of the village were elected annually, and at the second election, held in 1806, all of the trustees were re-elected.
The following year, 1807, Mr. Bloodgood was not reelected, but John Hooker
.
211
HISTORY OF ONEIDA COUNTY
was elected in his stead, and Erastus Clark was made president. Under the charter no persons could vote except freeholders, and the office of trustee was also confined to freeholders. This excluded a large number of the inhabitants from participation in the village government.
In 1808 the freeholders elected as trustees Morris S. Miller, Jerathmel Bal- lou, John Hooker, Nathaniel Butler and John Bellinger, and Mr. Miller was elected president of the board.
The annual freeholders' meeting was usually held at the hotel, and in 1809 the board remained the same, except that Talcott Camp and Solomon Wolcott were elected in place of Morris S. Miller and Nathaniel Butler, and Mr. Camp was made president.
Considerable change was made in the board of trustees for the year 1810, and it is difficult to determine upon what lines the freeholders divided, whether politically or whether with regard to local improvements. In this year Mr. Camp remained in the board, and the other members were John C. Hoyt, John C. Devereux, Rudolph Snyder and Abraham M. Walton.
In 1811 Mr. Camp and Mr. Devereux were re-elected, and the other trus- tees were Jeremiah VanRensselaer, Frederick White and E. B. Sherman. Mr. Camp was made president, John C. Hoyt treasurer, and Nicholas Smith col- lector.
The following interesting facts concerning the life of Nicholas Smith may as well be given here as elsewhere. In one of the Indian raids on the Lower Mo- hawk his grandfather and grandmother were massacred, and his aunt fled to the woods carrying Nicholas, who was then about one year of age, in her arms. Discovering that she would be overtaken by the Indians, she concealed the baby in the woods and continued to flee, but was overtaken, scalped and left for dead. She, however, recovered, was found by the whites, and remembered where she had placed the child. He was found, and, although left an orphan he was cared for, and was the Nicholas Smith who was well known in the early history of the city of Utica. The above incidents were received by the author from his son, William B. Smith, who is still living in Utica at the age of 88.
A controversy arose at the election of 1812, but it is difficult to ascertain just what the trouble was. There seems to have been a dispute about who had been elected, and a second ballot was had, when it was declared that Talcott Camp, Jeremiah VanRensselaer, E. B. Sherman, Morris Miller, Byron John- son and Thomas Skinner were elected. Mr. Miller declined to serve. Mr. John- son also declined to serve, and Arthur Breese was elected to the vacancy. The same officers were elected collector and treasurer who had served during the previous year.
During the year 1813 a market had been erected in the public square. This was a source of controversy, and it entered into the political situation. The candidates for trustees were supported or opposed upon the ground of their being for or against the market. The result of the election was the selection of Moses Bagg, Montgomery Hunt, Seth Dwight, E. B. Sherman and Talcott Camp. A special election was called upon the subject of selling the market, and it was determined in the negative.
In 1814 the board of trustees consisted of Talcott Camp, Jeremiah VanRens-
212
HISTORY OF ONEIDA COUNTY
selaer, Nathan Williams, Killian Winne and Samuel Stocking. Mr. Camp was made president, John H. Ostrom, clerk, with the same treasurer and collector as of the previous year.
In the election of 1815 the board of trustees consisted of Abram VanSant- voort, Augustus Hickox, Gurdon Burchard, Jason Parker and William Geere. Mr. VanSanvoort was made president, and Mr. Parker refused to serve.
In 1816 the board of trustees was changed materially, and consisted of Rudolph Snyder, Ezra S. Cozier, Augustus Hickox, Gurdon Burchard and William Geere. Mr. Snyder was made president, and the other officers remained the same as the previous year, so far as the record shows.
In 1817 the village asked for a still more extensive charter, which was granted April 7, 1817, and was known as "An act to incorporate the village of Utica." The village was, at this time, divided into three wards, which were described as follows: All that part of the said village contained within the following bounds, to wit: Beginning in the northerly line of said village, where the center or middle of Genesee street extended would strike the said northerly bounds, running thence through the center or middle of Genesee street to the center or middle of John street; thence along the center or middle of John street, to the center or middle of Broad street; thence easterly from the center or middle of Broad street, to the center or middle of First street; thence southerly on a direct line through the center or middle of First street to the southerly line of the said village; thence easterly along the southerly bounds of said village, to the easterly line of said village; thence northerly along the said easterly line of said village to the northerly line of said village; thence along the northerly bounds of the said village to the place of beginning, shall constitute one ward, and shall be denominated the first ward; and all that part of said village, contained within the following bounds, to wit: beginning in the northerly line of said village where the center or middle of Genesee street extended would strike the said northerly bounds, thence southerly along the westerly line of first ward to the southerly bounds of said village; thence westerly along the southerly bounds of said village to the center or middle of Genesee street; thence northerly through the center or middle of Genesee street to the center or middle of Hotel street; thence through the center or middle of Hotel street to Whitesborough street; thence across Whitesborough street to the southeasterly corner of the York House; thence along the easterly side of said York House in a direct line to the northerly bounds of the said village; thence along the northerly bounds of said village to the place of be- ginning, shall constitute one ward, and be denominated the second ward; and all that part of said village contained within the following bounds, to wit: Beginning at the northwest corner of the second ward, running thence north- erly along the westerly line of said second ward to the southerly bounds of said village; thence westerly along the southerly bounds of said village to the west- erly bounds of said village; thence northerly along the westerly bounds of said village to the northerly bounds of said village; thence easterly along the north- erly bounds of the said village to the place of beginning, shall constitute one ward and be denominated the third ward.
The fourth section of the act incorporating the village had an unusual pro-

vision. This provision was "That the person administering the government of the state, by and with the consent of the council of appointment, shall annually, during the session of the legislature, or at such time as the said council shall be assembled next after the first day of May in every year, nominate and ap- point, out of the inhabitants of said village, one fit and discreet freeholder to ' be trustee of said village, who shall be president of the board of trustees of said village, which said president shall be ex-officio a justice of the peace." It would seem as if the controlling element in the state had not yet got far enough away from the idea that all power came from the king to trust even the inhabitants of a large village to manage their own affairs. It was provided by this statute that the trustees should appoint certain other village officers, the provisions of the stat- ute upon that subject being as follows: "The said board of trustees shall an- nually meet at some place in said village on the third Monday of May, in each year forever, and by plurality of votes, appoint one clerk, one treasurer, one or more collectors and overseers of the poor, one or more poundmasters, fence viewers, porters, carriers, carters, truckmen, packers, beadles, bellmen, common criers, scavengers, measurers, surveyors and gaugers, or such of them as they shall think proper." It was also provided by the thirtieth section of the act that all that portion of the town of Whitestown which was included in the limits of the village of Utica, as described in the act, should be from that time for- ward a separate town by the name of Utica. This was the last village charter, and under it the inhabitants had realized a degree of prosperity greater than that in any other part of the county. It was said by Dr. Josiah Strong that all localities take their character from the early settlers, and if this applies to Utica, it is probably an explanation of the progress that was made by the early inhabitants in this part of the country, as, it is safe to say, no better class of people ever took up the development of a country than those who settled in this favored locality.
The first election of trustees under the new charter resulted in the selection in the year 1817 of Ezra Cozier and William Williams, first ward; second ward, Jeremiah VanRensselaer and Abram VanSantvoort; third ward, Erastus Clark and John C. Hoyt. The governor appointed Nathan Williams one of the trustees, and by the statute he became president of the board. The assessors were Moses Bagg, David P. Hoyt and Thomas Walker. Benjamin Walker was elected supervisor; Ezra P. Barnum and Joshua Ostrom were appointed con- stables, and the following additional officers were elected: Clerk, John H. Os- trom; overseer of the poor, Jeremiah VanRensselaer ; treasurer, Judah Williams; poundmaster, Frederick W. Potter; fence viewers, Benjamin Hinman, Jason Parker and Aaron Eggleston; gauger, James Hooker; superintendent of high- ways, Benjamin Ballou. Truly a great array of officers to care for the inter- ests of a small village.
It would seem that about this time politics entered into the selection of trus- tees of the village, and it resulted in the setting aside of some of the prominent citizens and choosing others in their stead. The board elected in 1818 con- sisted of Ezra S. Cozier, John E. Hinman, first ward; second ward, Abram VanSantvoort and Enos Brown; third ward, Rudolph Snyder and Marcus Hitchcock. John C. Devereux and Jeremiah VanRensselaer were candidates for office at this election, but were defeated.
