The large territory comprised in the county was divided by the associate judges of the county into the four original townships-Washington, German, Dayton and Elizabeth. Washington township included the territory in the southeast part of the county from the Greene county line to the Miami river and from the War- ren county line seven miles to a line one mile north of the present township line. German township included the territory west of the Miami river to the state line and from the Butler county line about five and one-half miles to a line one mile north of the present township line. On June 10, 1805, the records read "German township bounded at present by the Miami river on the east, Butler county on the south, the line east of third range on the west and the north side of the first tier of sections in the south side of third township fifth range, and fourth town- ship fourth range as the north boundary line." Dayton township included all of the territory between the Indiana state line and the Greene county line and north of Washington and German townships, to a line running west from the present northeast corner of Wayne township to the Indiana state line. This line was decided on December 14, 1804. The line established in 1803 was somewhat different. Elizabeth township was all of that part of the county north of Dayton township, extending to the northern boundary of the state. The laying out of the townships was governed by the idea that ultimately the line before described as the line between Dayton and Elizabeth townships would be the north line of Montgomery county. In the act of the legislature constituting Montgomery county it was declared that the territory north of this line should not be taxed for the purpose of erecting county buildings. Elizabeth township was not assessed in 1804 for building the temporary jail but was assessed at a rate one-third less than that of the other townships, the money to be used for the general expenses of the county.
November 5, 1804, a township called Randolph was formed from the south- west part of Elizabeth township, the east line being the east line of the fifth range and the north line being a line a little north of Miami county.
June 10, 1805, the three ranges of townships now forming Preble county were erected into a township named Harding township. At the same time a new town- ship, to be known as Jefferson township was formed, the boundaries being as follows: the Stillwater river and the line continuing west from the northern boundary of the eighth range between the Miami river, on the north; the Miami river, on the east; the north line of German township, one mile north of the present township line, on the south; and Harding township or the present county of Preble, on the west. All of this territory was taken from Dayton township, as was also the larger part of Harding township, the Stillwater and Miami rivers thus becoming the western boundary of Dayton township. It is possible but not likely that German township had included one or two tiers of sections taken into Jefferson township.
In 1806, the tax collected from Elizabeth township was one hundred and three dollars and forty-seven cents; from Randolph township, thirty-nine dollars and forty cents; from Washington township, one hundred and forty dollars and

seventy cents; from German township, two hundred and two dollars and three cents ; from Dayton township, two hundred and seventy-five dollars and fifty-two cents.
The commissioners' minutes of February 3, 1806, recite that two tiers of sec- tions were taken from German township and given to Jefferson township. It would seem that the entry should name one tier of sections rather than two, as thus the boundary of German township as now existing would have been estab- lished. January 2, 1807, the strip of territory bounded by the Stillwater and Miami rivers and the east line of the fifth range was taken from Jefferson town- ship and restored to Dayton township.
January 16, 1807, Miami county was formed from Montgomery county, Ran- dolph and Elizabeth townships furnishing the territory. As Montgomery county was allowed to retain west of the Miami river a strip two and one-half miles wide north of the line drawn from the northern boundary of the eighth range between the Miamis, the parts of Randolph and Elizabeth townships remaining in Montgomery county were attached, June 1, 1807, to the adjacent townships on the south, namely, Harding, Jefferson and Dayton.
For three months there was no Randolph township, but September 7, 1807, a new Randolph township was formed, being that part of Jefferson township lying between the Miami county line on the north and a line six miles south of the same and between the present line of Preble county on the west and the sixth range of townships on the east. The following day, the county commissioners formed Eaton township by taking for that purpose the first and second ranges lying within Harding township. At the same time they took the third range within that township and, together with a territory three miles wide taken from the west end of Randolph and Jefferson townships, formed a new Harding town- ship. March 7, 1808, after the forming of Preble county March 1, 1808, the parts taken from Randolph and Jefferson townships were restored to them. At the same time township lines were further reconstructed as follows: Jefferson township to begin two miles north of the present northeast corner of that town- ship, thence south to the Miami river and down the same to the line between the second and third townships, fifth range, thence west across said range, thence north two miles, thence west across the fourth range to the county line, thence north six miles, thence east to the place of beginning. It will be seen that German. township gained some territory for the time at the expense of Jefferson town- ship. To the north, the territory left out of Jefferson township and bounded on the south by the new line of Jefferson township and on the north by Randolph township was formed into a new township called Madison township. It contained at the time but forty-one electors.
January 1, 1810, it was ordered that the four northern tiers of sections in the eighth range east of the Great Miami river within Montgomery county and the third township of the sixth range west of the Great Miami, excepting the two western tiers of sections of said township, which had been added to Randolph township September 5, 1808, should form a new township to be called Wayne.
December 7, 1814, Jackson township was formed from parts of Jefferson and German townships, being the present Jackson township plus two tiers of sections adjoining on the north.

DAYTON AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY
Butler township was formed October 7, 1817, from the parts of Wayne and Randolph townships lying between the Miami and Stillwater rivers.
Perry township was formed with its present location and size March 7, 1820, its parts being taken from Jackson and Madison townships. At the same time all of that part of Jefferson township lying in the fourth township of range 5 was attached to Madison township. Thus Madison township came to have its present boundaries. June 8, 1825, Clay township, with its present boundaries was formed from Randolph township.
December 9, 1829, Miami township was formed from Washington township, the division line being where it now is. The territory between this line and the Miami river constituted the township. March 7, 1831, fractional sections 19, 20, 29 and 30 were added to Miami township from Dayton township. At the same time the territory west of the Miami now in the township, was taken from German township with the exception of section 34 and fractional sections 35 and 36, which were added from Jefferson township August 21, 1841.
According to the act of the legislature when the city charter was granted to Dayton March 8, 1841, the limits of Dayton township were to be confined to the corporate limits of the city and the territory outside of these limits belonging to Dayton township was to be formed into other townships.
May 17, 1841, at a special session of the county commissioners that part of Dayton township west of the Miami river was erected into a township to be known as Harrison township. At this time it was a controverted question whether the territory of Dayton township outside of the corporate limits of Dayton should be formed into two townships or only one. The decision of the commissioners was in favor of one township, and to the entire territory the name Mad River township was given. After further consideration of the matter, another town- ship was formed June 26, 1841, from the southern part of Mad River township as first erected and the northern tier of sections belonging to Washington town- ship. The dividing line between Mad River and Van Buren townships, as first drawn, has remained unchanged. After the annexing of territory of Mad River township to the corporate limits of Dayton in 1868, the cominissioners, on the ground that the territory of Mad River township had been reduced below the legal limit for a township, ordered that certain parts of Van Buren township should be added to Mad River township. They, however, immediately rescinded their action on the ground that it was illegal. More recent changes of township boundaries have been due to the annexation of territory by the city of Dayton.
FIRST ELECTIONS.
June 21, 1803, the first election after the formation of the county was held. A member of congress was to be elected. The following shows the vote cast :
Dayton township-Jeremiah Morrow, forty-three; William McMillan, sixty- one; William Goforth, none. Washington township-Jeremiah Morrow, sixty- seven; William McMillan, twenty-seven; William Goforth, one. German town- ship-Jeremiah Morrow, three; William McMillan, fifty-one; William Goforth, two. Elizabeth township-Jeremiah Morrow, sixty-two. Total-Morrow, one hundred and seventy-five; McMillan, one hundred and thirty-nine ; Goforth, three ; in all, three hundred and seventeen. From 1803 to 1813 Jeremiah Morrow, one of the worthiest public men of his day, was Ohio's only representative in congress.

He was one of the group of younger men who stood opposed to the federalist policy of Governor St. Clair.
The second Tuesday in October, 1803, an election was held for sheriff and coroner, with the following result:
For sheriff: Dayton township -- George Newcom, sixty-nine; John Gullion, one. Washington township -- George Newcom, thirty-nine. Elizabeth township- George Newcom, thirty-three. German township-George Newcom, seven. Total -- George Newcom, one hundred and forty-eight; Gullion, I. James Miller was elected coroner by a total vote of one hundred and forty-two, one vote being given to D. C. Cooper.
April 2, 1804, an election was held for county commissioners. Edmund Mun- ger, John Devor, and William Brown were elected. This board had its first meeting June 11, 1804.
At the meeting of the commissioners August 4, 1804, it was ordered that a tax as high as the law would allow be laid on Dayton, Washington and German townships, amounting to four hundred and fifty-eight dollars and forty cents, the rate on Elizabeth township to be one-third less, since none of that township could be taxed for the erecting of county buildings. The amount for Elizabeth township was forty-eight dollars, eighty-two cents and four mills.

At the time when Montgomery county was formed in 1803 the enumera- tion showed five hundred and twenty-six white male inhabitants over twenty- one years of age within its limits. At that time the white male inhabitants over twenty-one years of age in the state numbered fifteen thousand, three hundred and fourteen.
The total population of Montgomery county in 1810 as shown by the United States census reports was seven thousand seven hundred and twenty-two free white persons. In 1820 the population had a little more than doubled, the cen-

The total value of lands and buildings in 1880 was fifteen million, three hun- dred and ninety-three thousand, six hundred and ninety-six dollars. The value of city and village property the same year was sixteen million, twenty-six thousand, and twenty-nine dollars, a total of all real property for the county of thirty- one million, four hundred and nineteen thousand, seven hundred and twenty-five dollars.
In 1908 the total valuation of the property of Montgomery county, including the city of Dayton, was eighty-four million, one hundred forty-five thousand, two hundred and ten dollars, of which amount fifty-seven million, eight hundred forty-seven thousand and sixty dollars was credited to the city of Dayton. leaving thus to the credit of the county outside of the city of Dayton, twenty-six million, two hundred ninety-eight thousand, one hundred and fifty dollars.
That it is more profitable to farm the lands of Montgomery county than to use them for pasture is shown in the annual report of the state auditor, which shows a marked decrease in the enumeration of the horses, cattle and hogs in Montgomery county, compared with the figures gathered in 1907.
The only increase in 1908 as compared with the preceding year, was in the number of mules, of which there were four hundred and forty-five, an increase of five.

As a result of sheep killing dogs, the county paid out during the year one thousand, one hundred dollars, leaving a balance in the treasury of two thousand, three hundred twenty-three dollars and nine cents. The commissioners are em- powered to retain one thousand dollars in the fund. With this retention, the fund remaining contained one thousand, three hundred twenty-three dollars and nine cents, of which three hundred and fifty dollars was turned into the Humane Society fund and nine hundred and seventy-three dollars and nine cents into the bridge fund.
The amount collected and distributed for 1908 was two million, four hundred eight thousand, one hundred forty-six dollars and fifty-eight cents. The total did not include amounts for slow pay, monies tied by injunction suits and delin- quencies of all kinds, exceeding the collections by eighty-four thousand, seven hundred eighty-eight dollars and forty-five cents.
The average daily county expense, and on account of which taxes are col- lected, is seven thousand dollars.
The depository law, which went into effect in September, 1905, brings an annual net income to the county of nineteen thousand, seven hundred fourteen dollars and nine cents.
All money except such as is needed for current expenses is kept in the county depositories, which are decided by competitive bidding.
