Supervisors of the Several Towns.
The first meeting of the Board of Supervisors, of which there is record, was held on Tuesday, October 6, 1772, at the school house, in Rye. Present, Justice Davis for Philipsborough, William Sutton for Mamaroneck, Ebenezer Lockwood for Poundridge, James Holmes for Bedford, Stephen Ward for Eastchester, Abijah Gilbert for Salem, Richard Willis for New Rochelle, William Barker for Scarsdale, Dr. David Daton for North Castle, and Dr. Robert Graham for White Plains. An ad- journment was taken to meet in the Court House at White Plains. In same month the second session was held, at White Plains; same members were present with the addition of Col. James Van Cortlandt for Yonkers, Major Pierre Van Cort- landt for Manor of Cortlandt and Judge John Thomas of Rye. At this meeting the members qualified, and White Plains was decided upon as the regular place of meeting for the Board of Supervisors. Dr. Robert Graham of White Plains, was elected Clerk of the Board and Treasurer of the County.
Meetings of the Board were held in early days at the resi- dences of prominent citizens at Rye, Bedford and White Plains; later, meetings took place in the office of the County Clerk, and the Boards continued to convene annually in latter place until accommodations proved too cramped, then the present Supervisors' room was erected as an addition to the Court House.
An act of the Legislature, passed February 6, 1773, requires the County Board of Supervisors to hold its meetings in the Court House at. White Plains.
It is understood that in the early period the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas met with the Supervisors and assisted in the transaction of the county's business. One of the Judges acted as Chairman, and one of the Supervisors was elected Clerk as well as County Treasurer. In former times town officers were seldom changed, and Supervisors were returned from the several towns to the Board year after year. It was then considered that Supervisors, like wine, improved with age, and that the wisdom gained by long experience might prove of benefit to a Supervisor's constituents.
The Board of Supervisors rarely changed its Clerk in those times, and the incumbent was permitted to continue in office until he was, of his own accord, ready to retire.
By an act of the Legislature passed January 18, 1830, the annual meeting of the Board of Supervisors in the County of Westchester is to commence on the first Monday after the
