lature for the construction of the Mohawk and Hudson River Railroad, between Albany and Schenectady. Work on this road was not com- menced until about twenty months before the expiration of the charter, or in August, 1830; but so vigorously was it prosecuted that in October, 1831, the line was in operation and carrying about 400 passengers daily. This was the first railroad completed in this State. On the 6th of September, 1831, a railroad meeting was held in Buffalo, of which the following notice appeared in the newspapers:
RAILROAD .- At a numerous and respectable meeting of the citizens of Buffalo, held at the Eagle Tavern on the 6th of September, for the purpose of taking into con- sideration the subject of railroad communication between this place and the Hudson river, Bela D. Coe was called to the chair, and James Stryker was appointed sec- retary.
The proceedings consisted principally of the adoption of resolutions testifying to the expediency of co-operation with others in the central and eastern parts of the State for the construction of such a road, and the appointment of a committee to carry out the purpose. The follow- ing were named as the committee: Samuel Wilkeson, James Stryker, Reuben B. Heacock, J. R. Carpenter, Lewis F. Allen, Bela D. Coe, Samuel Russell, S. Thompson, Heman B. Potter, Isaac S. Smith, James McKnight and Horatio Shumway. It was several years from this date, however, that the first steam railroad crossed Erie county, but this meeting has, nevertheless, important historical significance.
The first definite step towards city incorporation was taken at a meet- ing held about the middle of December, 1831, at which a committee was appointed who were charged with the preparation of a city charter ; this committee consisted of Charles Townsend, B. D. Coe, Ebenezer Walden, Henry White, Millard Fillmore, J. Clary, Horatio Shumway, R. W. Haskins, Pierre A. Barker, Benjamin Caryl, George B. Webster, Samuel Wilkeson, Dyre Tillinghast, J. Stryker, William Hollister, J. W. Clark, William Ketchum and Moses Baker. Their work accom- plished, the committee recommended application to the Legislature for an act of incorporation. As there was almost no opposition to the measure, the required act was passed April 20, 1832. The charter divided the new city into five wards, the boundaries of which are shown on the accompanying map, and are described as follows:
First Ward-All that part of the city which lies south and east of the following lines, viz. : beginning at a point in said reservation where a line drawn through the center of Exchange street, would strike said reservation; thence along said line to

the center of Exchange street; thence proceeding westerly along the center of said street to Cazenovia Terrace; thence to the center of Cazenovia Terrace; thence westerly and northerly along the center of said Terrace to the center of Erie street ; thence along the center of Erie street to the center of Erie canal; thence along the center of the canal to the west bounds of York street; thence down the west bounds of York street to Lake Erie; thence due west to the State line.
Second Ward-All that part which lies east of the center of Main street, and north of the center of Exchange street, and north of a line drawn through the center of Exchange street to the said reservation, and south of the center of Eagle street, and south of a line to be drawn in continuation of the north line of Eagle street, to the Buffalo creek reservation.
Third Ward .- All that part of the city lying westerly of the center of Main street and northeasterly of the bounds of the First Ward, and southeasterly of the north- westerly bounds of said York street, and southwesterly of the center of Niagara street.
Fourth Ward-All the residue of said city lying east of the center of Main street, and north of the center of Eagle street.
Fifth Ward-All the residue of said city lying west of the center of Main street, and northeasterly of the center of Niagara street.
The first city election was held on the 28th of May, when the follow- ing officers were elected :
Mayor, Ebenezer Johnson ; clerk, Dyre Tillinghast ; treasurer, Henry R. Seymour; attorney, George P. Barker; surveyor, J. J. Baldwin ; street commissioner, Edward Baldwin; aldermen-First ward, Isaac S. Smith, Joseph W. Brown; Second ward, John G. Camp, Henry Root; Third ward, David M. Day, Ira A. Blossom; Fourth ward, Henry White, Major A. Andrews; Fifth Ward, Ebenezer Walden, Thomas C. Love.
City officers for succeeding years are given in a later chapter.
One of the first important measures of the new city administration was to increase the fire department. The village within a few previous years had suffered severely from fires, and the act of village incorpora- tion was amended April 23, 1829, authorizing the trustees to appoint not exceeding thirty firemen and ten hook and laddermen for each en- gine in the village. This language would indicate that there were then at least two companies in existence; there certainly were no more. Fulton Fire Company No. 3 was organized in November, 1831. On June 4, 1832, the first board of city aldermen appointed their fellow aldermen from the First ward, Isaac S. Smith, the first chief engineer of the Buffalo Fire Department; a little later John W. Beals and Sam- uel Jordan were appointed his assistants. On August 5, 1832, Live Oak Engine Company No. 2 was organized; November 24, 1832, Buf- falo Engine Company No. 4 was added to the department, and on De-

cember 21, 1832, Washington Engine Company No. 5. The depart- ment remained thus for about four years, and from it has grown the existing large and efficient organization.'
The first city directory was published July 1, 1832, from which the number of inhabitants was estimated to be about 10,000. The entire book contains less than sixty pages, only thirty of which are filled with names; the colored residents are under a separate heading. The directory was published by L. P. Crary, auctioneer, and printed by Day, Follet & Haskins. Among other statistics the first directory gives the young city about forty manufacturing establishments, most of which have been mentioned. There were then sixteen public and private schools, most of them of the latter character. Sixty mails a week during the winter and eighty-eight during the navigation season, were, according to the directory, "received, made up and dispatched at the post office." There were already ten storehouses for the trans- action of lake and canal business, but the directory states that no cer- tain information could be obtained of the volume of that business.
In closing this chapter, which brings the reader up to the creation of Buffalo city, the foundation of nearly or quite every village that now exists, and the full settlement of most of the outer territory of the county, we quote the following from an address delivered by E. C.
1 In August, 1852, the Fire Department was reorganized, owing to its then demoralized condition. Several companies took their apparatus to the Terrace and there left it. A resolution was adopted by the Common Council accepting the resignation of every member of the department excepting those of Taylor Hose No. 1, Eagle Hose No. 2, and Jefferson Engine No. 12. The new organization followed. The first Board of Fire Commissioners was appointed April 27, 1857, and consisted of Oliver G. Steele, Francis H. Root. George Jones, and Jarvis Davis. On February 3, 1859, the first steam fire engine in Buffalo was purchased and placed in the house formerly occupied by old Cat- aract Engine Company on Washington street, below Seneca. In the same year the city was first divided into fire districts. The first fire alarm system was introduced in 1865. After prolonged effort the entire department was placed on a paid basis in the spring of 1880, and three commis- sioners were appointed with the usual powers of those officers; they were George R. Potter, chair- man; John M. Hutchinson, and Nelson K. Hopkins. The chief engineers of the old department were Isaac S. Smith, Samuel Jordan, Thomas Kip, George Jones, Lyman Knapp, William Taylor, George Jones, Edwin Hurlburt, William Taylor, T. T. Bloomer, John Lorenz, William Taylor, Thomas B. French. In 1866 the office of chief engineer was abolished and that of superintendent of the fire department created; to this office Edwin Hurlburt was appointed. His successors have been as follows: Peter C. Doyle, Thomas B. French, Joseph R. Williams, Thomas B. French, Peter C.Doyle, James L. Rodgers, Thomas B. French, Frederick Hornung. Under a charter change of 1880 the office of chief was substituted for that of superintendent, the position being held by Mr. Hornung until 1892, when the present incumbent, Bernard J. McConnell, was appointed. The de- partment is now controlled by a board of three commissioners who are endowed with broad powers in its management. The apparatus consists principally of twenty-eight steam fire engines, nine hook and ladder trucks, and five chemical engines. The annual cost of maintenance of the de- partment has gradually increased until it now reaches nearly $500,000. The total number of men in the department is nearly 400. The property of the department has a value of about $475,000.

Sprague, of Buffalo, at the semi-centennial celebration of the city incor- poration in 1882 :
It was a little city erected upon the substance of things hoped for rather than of things seen. It contained a few scattered brick buildings and perhaps twenty hand- some dwellings, mostly of wood; but the bulk of the city consisted of frame houses, generally from one to two stories high, even on Main street. The ridgeof land run- ning from Exchange, then known as Crow street, northerly, lifted Main, Franklin and Ellicott and the intermediate streets out of the bottomless mud east of Ellicott street, and the miry clay which, west of Franklin street, absorbed in its adhesive depths the wheels of wagons and the boot of pedestrians. Niagara street, crossed and hollowed by running streams, was sometimes impassable to man or beast. Ex- tending from the corner of Main street and the Terrace westerly around to Court street was a high bluff, down which the boys coasted through Main and Commercial streets. The streets were unpaved 1 and the darkness of Main street was made visi- ble by a few oil lamps. But all the people knew each other, even in the dark, and congregated at the Eagle Tavern, the Mansion House, the Buffalo Hotel and Perry's Coffee House, and, on pleasant days, in Main street on the various corners from Court to Seneca streets, cracking jokes and discussing politics. The daily street costumes of some of our leading citizens, in 1832, was a black or blue dress coat, with costly gilt buttons, a voluminous white cravat, a ruffled shirt, accompanied by the " nice conduct " of a gold-headed cane. Main street presented a picturesque variety, including elegantly dressed gentlemen and ladies, blanketed and moccasined Indians, and emigrants in the strange costumes of foreign lands. Most of the busi- ness was done upon the west side of Main street, between Mohawk and Exchange. Mayor Johnson's stone cottage, now occupied by the Female Academy, stood in soli- tary state on Delaware avenue, which was devoted for the most part to lumber yards and soap factories. The dwellings north of Mohawk street were few and far be- tween. It was considered a long walk to Chippewa street, and a hardship to walk as far as Tupper street.
And this was Buffalo sixty-five years ago. .
The following list gives the number and date of sale by deed of all the lots in the original survey of New Amsterdam, by the Holland Land Company, with the name of the purchaser of each lot. Nearly all of these dates are prior to the city incorporation and the list is in- corporated at this stage of the work where it will be valuable for refer- ence and not especially out of chronological order :

1 While it is probable that Mr. Sprague was right as to there being no paving at that time, the act amending the village charter, passed April 23, 1829, gave the trustees authority to direct the paving of streets and flagging of sidewalks, as well as to open streets and alleys.
