April 6, 1818, the amount of serip issued for change under the order of 1814 appears to have been of con- siderable amount. Notices for redemption were posted from time to time, and at this date James C. Elmendorf reports that there was issued the sum of 82796.43. and that there had been canceled 82106.37, leaving a babrice still unredeemed of $690.06. It does not appear that there was any further redemption, and if not the village must have made " a good thing" by the issue.

May 2, 1818, Messrs. Swart, Burhans, and Fimendorf were appointed a committee to ascertain " the situation of the village clock," and May 5th they probably reported upon the "situation," as the following resolution was adopted : " Resolved, That Peter E. Osterhowit be allowed twenty dollars for att. n-ling to the village clock for one year, and that he be paid sach sumo for repairing the said clock as Mr. Osterhoudt shall render for his services, not exceeding twenty dollars expence."

The clock must have been rather an expensive institu- tion, requiring $20 a year for the care of it, and continued bills for repairs.

May 14, 1819, the assize of bread was ordered to be fer the ensuing three months as follows : one loaf of superfine wheat flour to weigh 47 ounces and be sold for 123 cents ; and a half'loaf of 234 ounces to be sold for six cents.

March 7, 1820, a committee reported in favor of selling the market-house to the highest bidder ; but a motion finally prevailed to have it repaired and remodeled for an engine- house. Subsequently, however, the house was offered to the highest bidder, but it was bid in by the board at $51.

Jan. 17, 1823, a committee upon the troublesome clock re- ported that it might be repaired so as to run perhaps for a year, but they were decidedly of the opinion that it was best for the village to buy a new clock, to run eight days. March 10th the board declined an offer from New York to furnish a new clock at $450, but July 10th they passed the following resolution :

" Resolved. That the committee on the village clock purchase said eight-day clock from James Rogers, clock and watchmaker, in New York, No. 82 Chatham Street, for the sum of four hundred and forty dollars, including his expenses for coming to Kingston and putting it up and warrated, as soon as it is ready."

same building that was burned a few years since when oc- enpied by the Perrines. Hannah Radcliffe, whose tavern was a noted stage-house, and stood on the site of the present Argus builling. The present Hauver House is a very old tavern; Gen. Smith speaks of it as a tavern sisty-three years ago. Matthew Styles was also licensed at this time.

Two other grocery licenses are mentioned : Higgins & Hasbrouck, who traded in what has been called Higgins -. ville, from the name of one of its proprietors ; Peter Da. vidson, who traded opposite the court-house. Others li- censed at this time were Chambers & Hasbrouck, Benjamin Van Etten, John HI. Eaman, Scarborough & Wygant, and Conrad Romine.

Sept. 10, 1830 .-- About this time occurred the debate over the opening of Fair Strect through to John Street. On the last page of the first volume of records it is entered that the directors ordered a special meeting to be called for the purpose of voting upon a proposition to raise by tax a smin of 8500 to be expended in the extension of Fair Street to John Street, and that the proper notice be given in the Plebeian.

The second volume of records being lost, the subsequent steps taken do not appear. It was, however, sume years before the extension finally took place.

CLOSING PROCEEDINGS.

In March and April the village board were occupied in making all necessary arrangements for closing up the vil- lage business, instituting the new city government, and making a final surrender of their authority. The last reg- ular meeting was held April 15, 1872, the evening before the day of the first city election. Various communications were received from fire companies, and several bills were andited. On motion of Director Bruyn, it was resolved that the thanks of this board are due and are hereby tendered to Mr. E. M. Brigham for the able, impartial, and dignified

Following his marriage, in 1825, James S.

In 1827 he was made resident engineer of the eunal from tide-water to Port JJervis, ant also had charge of the construction of the docks at Rondout. In this position he remained until 1930 and resigned. The same year he took a contract for mining real for the company at Carbondale, and mined the first. coal ever mined in the Lackawanna Valley. He continued his residence at Romlout. whence he removed after his second marriage, aud in 1822 per- chase I the Mansion House of the company, and after repairing it began hotel-keeping. In 153; he built for the United States government the first lighthouse and the dock on which it stood at the month of the ereek. He sold the Mansion House in 1838, subsequently owned it and sold it a second time. He purchased fifty- two acres of land on the " Weinbergh" and built a resilence in which he resides in. 1880. For many years he was en- gagel in constructing ducks for the Sangerties and Esopus Meadows light- houses and quarrying cement-stone, which he shipped in sloops to Newark, N.

During the year 1544 he took charge of the towing business for the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, in 1545-16 constructed the Island dock, and in 1517 completed contracts on the Hudson River Railroad.

Mr. MeEntee had sole charge of the construction of the dock at Cold Spring for the West Point Foundry. He had the superintendence of the construction of the plank-road from Kingston to Rondout and Wilbur in 1850-31, and in 1853-54 constructed the steamboat wharf at West Point according to the specifications of Col. Robert E. Lee, then superintendent of the Academy and afterwards the great Confederate general. For years Mr. MeEntee was the consulting engineer for the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, amI made a survey of the canal fromn Hawley to tile- water after the culargement, the facts connected with which being im- portant evidence in the great suit between the old company and the Penn- sylvania Coal Company. In the spring of 1865 he made a survey for a railroad from Ron.lont to Ellenville up the valley of the Rondout, and the same year he commenced a survey for a railroad from tide- water at Hon lout to Cilyersville on the Susquehanna, which survey was preparatory to the construction of what is now called the U'Ister and Delaware Railroad.

Mr. MeEntee's life has been one of active business. He has given little attention to political notoriety and never sought preferment of that kind. Originally a member of the Whig party, he identifie.l himself with the Republicans upon the organization of that party, and was a supporter of Horace Greeley in 1872. He has never held offico except to serve as justice of the peace. He is known as a man of correct habits, sterling integrity, and is liberal in his views of religious faith,

manner in which he has discharged the duties as president of this board during the past year. On motion of the same, a like resolution was passed complimentary to the clerk. A special meeting was held on Saturday evening, April 20th, at which various bills were audited, thus finally closing sixty-seven years of village history.

THE VILLAGE OF RONDOUT.

The first meeting for the election of otheers for the vil- lage of Rondout was held at the village hall May 1, 1849. John B. Steele, a justice of the peace of the town of Kings- ton, presided, and George F. Vou Beck acted as clerk pro tem. in the absence of the town clerk of the town, who was designated for that purpose by the act of incorporation. The officers elected were the following: George F. Vou Beck, Edmoul Suydam, Terence O'Reilly, William H. Bridger, Michael Dougherty, Trustees; Adam Brighten- becker, James Diamond, John 11. Lansing, Fire-Wardens; John Dougherty, John Rockefeller, William Welch, Asses- sors; Joseph F. Davis, Village Clerk ; George A. Adams, Treasurer ; John JJohnston, Collector.

At the first meeting of the trustees, May 3, 1813, George F. Von Beck was chosen president. The clerk, Joseph F. Davis, having declined, John B. Steele was chosen clerk pro tem. The treasurer, George A. Adams, also resigned, and his resignation was placed on file.

The petition of Solomon Brown and twenty-five others to be recognized as Fire Company No. 1 of the village of Rondout was received, and at the next meeting the same was approved. The board recommended the raising of vil- lage taxes as follows : for a new fire engine and hose, $500; for hooks and ladders, $100 ; for incidental expenses, $100; total, §1000.

At the village meeting to which the tax resolutions were submitted, 25 votes were east in favor and 21 against, and the taxes were approved. A motion was then made to ap- ply the money voted, to constructing a reservoir and convey- ing water from the hill back of the village into and through the village, for the private use of the inhabitants thereof and for fire. The question was decided by baker, and 26 votes were cast for " reservoir" :: 1 18 for " engine." The trustees afterwards decided this motion to have been illegal and out of order, and that the money voted must be applied as first directed.

Immediate means were taken to establish a board of health and adopt suitable precautions against the danger of cholera, which was then appearing in Rondout. The " Emerald's Store-House" was hired and fitted up as a hospital.

At the first village election, 1819, only 287 votes were cast. Ten years later 504 votes were east. In 1807, 715 voters attended the annual election, and at the last village election, May 3, 1871, the whole number of votes cast was 1365.
