Other City Officers.
In 1834 the other city officers were: Marshal, corresponding with the present superintendent of police; surveyor, corresponding with the present city civil engineer; recorder, eventually changed to city clerk. The office of city treasurer came over from the borough government and continued to April 29, 1862, when the office was abolished and its duties assigned to the county treasurer. In recent years the office of city treasurer was revived, which will account for the apparent break in the office. The office of city auditor is also of recent date. The office of city solicitor was created in 1852. The office of chief of the fire department was created in 1860. City surveyor was changed to civil engineer in 1857. The office of marshal was abolished in 1873 and the office of superintendent of police was substituted for it; so that the principal city officers were mayor, city solicitor, city clerk, city treasurer, city engineer, police judge, chief of fire department, superintend- ent of police and city auditor, and under these titles the incumbents since 1834, when the city government was organized, and the official cognates prior to 1850 will be classified, both for convenience and for the purpose of fur- nishing an intelligible idea of the duties performed by each.

Chief of Fire Department.
Office created and John Miller appointed chief engineer November 26, 1860. Without any vital or essential changes, the office and the duties devolv- ing on the incumbent are nearly the same as originally framed, further than the natural expansion of powers to meet expanding responsibilities have been found necessary. The incumbents have been :

The office of auditor was created by act of May, 1903, elective by the people. Sylvester C. Noble was elected to the office in 1903; reelected, and his present term will expire in 1910.
Police Judges and Clerks.
Until 1890 the mayors of cities and villages were ex officio judges of the police court, save in cases where other provision was made by special act of the legislature. The law was generalized until finally the police courts were established in all the cities. In Columbus the police judge became an elective office with a three-year term.
The judges incumbent and their clerks have been:
Matthias Martin, 1890-93. Clerk, George W. Dun.
Thomas M. Bigger, 1894-96. Clerk, S. N. Cook.

Growth of the Population.
A local census taken in 1815 indicated a population of approximately seven hundred in the then town. In 1820 the federal census gave the borough a population of one thousand four hundred and fifty. In 1830, while still a borough, two thousand four hundred and eighty-seven. In 1840, after six years of city organization, six thousand and forty-eight. In 1850, seventeen thousand eight hundred and seventy-one. In 1860, about twenty-seven thousand five hundred. During the same period the popula- tion of the entire county, including the city, is given in the United States Census as follows: 1810, three thousand four hundred and eighty-six; 1820, ten thousand two hundred and ninety-two; 1830, fourteen thousand seven hundred and forty-one; 1840, twenty-five thousand and forty-nine; 1850, forty-two thousand nine hundred and nine. It will be seen that while in 1810 the population of Columbus was about one-seventh of the entire popu- lation of the county, in 1860 it was more than fifty-one hundredths of it.
The reason for this growth between 1820 and 1860 was largely depend- ent on two causes-facilities for travel and transportation east and west, which were lacking in the earlier days of the state capital. The first impor- tant through line east and west was the National road. When it was com- pleted (having been begun beyond the Alleghenies in 1806 and completed thirty years later), it brought a constant stream of travel, traffic and home- seekers into the far-famed Upper Scioto valley. This road gave Columbus its first great impetus, deriving anticipatory benefits from it before its com- pletion to this point.
This great work was undertaken by congress in 1806. It cost thirty thousand dollars per mile and extends from Cumberland Gap, Maryland, to the Ohio river, and thence to the Indiana line. But for the advent of steam roads, canals and steam boats the government would doubtless have con- structed more of these national roads, and no better expenditure of public money could have been made for the benefit of the rural mail system of the present day, if for nothing else; but what a boon they would have been for automobiling? And who knows but that in the ages to come there will again be as much or more travel and traffic over the old National road than there was in the palmy days of stage coaching?
It is not too late yet for the government to build turnpikes all over the country, and especially in localities that are almost inaccessible for steam roads. John C. Calhoun, the great states righter, was a federalist long enough to advocate the National road. And there were grafters in those days! It is said that in repairing some of the bridges in Madison county it was found that the fine cut stone work was merely veneer, back of which was small stones and gravel. However, many of the bridges are yet in a good state of repair. Between Columbus and Springfield the road is as
138
CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF COLUMBUS
straight as an arrow and level enough for a railroad without making a cut or a fill. In fact, it is being used in some places east of Columbus for trac- tion line purposes, and in other places the road is said to be almost obliterated for lack of repairs.
The Indians in their day had a complete network of trails leading in every direction throughout the country, and many of the pikes and roads of today are over the original old Indian trails that were first traversed by the noble Red Man for perhaps centuries before the advent of the whites.
Growth of population and material wealth are not the absolute and indubitable proof of public virtue and private honesty, with good govern- ment as the concomitant, but they are reliable indices in nine cases out of ten. The next great impetus to a forward movement was the advent of the railway system, pioneered by the Columbus & Xenia from the west and the Ohio Central (now part of the Baltimore & Ohio system from the east), which, with the steam lines that came after and electric lines which began to gridiron the whole interior of the state a decade ago, are now cobwebbing the whole of it, all roads converge upon the still rapidly expanding capital.
Two Bases for Comparison.
The year 1843, while not marking the exact point of the half century following the "beginnings" of Columbus, is so proximate, and so clearly marks, historically speaking, a "breathing spell" in the city's progress that it may be taken as the second basis of comparison, in the city's history entire, for the companions whereby the steps of progress became visible to the mind's eye.
The first pause for comparison was when the borough of Columbus was created by act of the legislature in 1816. The then residents compared their then progress with the dawn of a new-born civilization and the retiring hori- zon of the primeval night of barbarism. To them and to the occasional wayfarers the change and the progress were not only satisfactory, but mar- velous. They were able, too, to make a correct estimate because the then doers were the descendants of the original workers in the vineyard or knew of them by daily contact, or, better still, by the oft-told story of the verbal his- tory of the neighborhood told by those, each of whom was a book and some of whom were encyclopedias.
The second basis of, comparison, or temporary inventory taking, was in 1843, when the city, as a city, was some ten years old, and the fathers began to turn over to the sons the public affairs, and the newcomers from far and near set themselves to "learning the ropes" and making themselves familiar with the traditions, having almost the force of law.
If you, Mr. Reader, in the multiple form, had been here at that time you would have known personally of the people who then lived and wrought, and the comparison with the present would be made brilliant and scintil- lant with the star points of that other generation. Some of you were here in the peerless morning of youth, and have the advantage over the great majority.

But suppose we should give you the name and occupation and abode of all the men who did, and most of the women who wrought for future generations, with enough side lights to reveal to you in outline all the other men and women and the smaller folk, would you not feel yourself able to estimate the present coigne of progress at its true value and with emotions of a greater human interest, than would accompany mere columns of sta- tistics ?
Herewith are given the introductions, written by the pen of history in 1843 to some twelve hundred of the then residents of Columbus, describing who they were, what they were engaged in, where they lived, in other words a glimpse at the people of the city among whom a very large proportion of you will discern your ancestry, in the direct lines, and a goodly number of you are here present today were also there present, rising sixty-five years ago. This highly entertaining series of introductions from A to Izzard, may be comprehensively described as
A Pioneer City Directory.
It is a little duodecimo volume of two hundred and one pages, four and a half inches wide by seven and a fourth long, bound in muslin and printed in long primer type, and is one of the treasures of the Old North West Historical and Genealogical Society. But forty-one of these little pages are devoted to the names of residents, the rest being filled with a brief and interesting history of the city up to date (1843-44) and the remainder illuminated with advertisements of the business houses.
This sub-chapter of names and business places will set many of the older readers agog with memories that have lain latent for years, and will furnish their great grandchildren's grandchildren with their potents of no- bility and the hatchments of their heraldry :
