HISTORY OF TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY.
City Auditor-E. W. Henderson. Civil Engineer-George H. Bodette.
By an act of the Ohio Legislature, passed during the session of' 1880-81, a system of Met- ropolitan Police was provided for Toledo. The Commissioners constituting the Police Board, selected by the Governor, were Abner L. Backus, Guido Marx, John Cummings and George Mitmine. This Board was given full powers for the management of the Police De- partment, and its administration was success- fil in giving the City a more efficient service. The plan, however, was not permitted to con- tinue long, and was soon succeeded by the present system, consisting of one Commissioner elected from each Ward of the City, who, with the Mayor, constitute the Police Board.

PROCEEDINGS OF CITY COUNCIL.
Something of the start of the Municipal Government of Toledo will be shown by the following abstract of the proceedings of the City Council from its organization in 1837, until the year 1846.
The first ordinance of special interest passed by the Council, was that of April 24, 1837, for the levy of taxes on personal property, in which, among other things, it was provided, that any person failing to make full return of such property should be taxed three times the regular rates.
May 22, 1837, a Committee was appointed " to enquire if there were any burying-grounds within the City."
May 29, 1837, a Committee was selected to ascertain the expense of procuring two fire engines for the use of the City ; and that the Committee ou llealth "examine the various pools of standing water in different sections of the City, and take measures for drying up or draining the same."
July 17, 1837, provision was made for the first hay-scales in Toledo-one l'or the "South . west Ward " (Port Lawrence), near the Toledo House (corner Summit and Perry streets) ; and another for " the Northeast Ward (Vistula), near the Mansion House, of Ezra B. Dodd" (now 385 Summit street). The fee for weighing hay was fixed at 25 cents per load. Roswell C. Cheney was appointed weigher for the former, and E. B. Dodd for the latter scales.
The first ordinance for regulating Ferries across the Maumee at Toledo, was passed July 17, 1837. It required a license for such pur- pose, the hours for ferrying being fixed from sunrise to sundown.

each additional horse or ox, of cents ; for each head of horned cattle, 6} cents, and for each sheep or hog, 3 cents
The first expenditure by the new City was for furniture, paid for in September, 1837. It was furnished by Wm. R. Hoyt, then Cabinet- maker in Toledo, and now (1887) a resident of the City. It consisted of a table and chairs sutticient for the members, and amounted to $33.00. The first record books were bought of Sanford & Lott, of Cleveland, the bill being $28.00. At that time there were no blank book manufacturers nearer to Toledo than Cleveland, and but one sneh there.
October 9, 1837, an ordinance was passed prohibiting, under penalties, " ball, nine or ten-pin alleys ;" also " billiards, roulette, or any other table or instrument or device used or to he used for the purpose of gaming or gambling."
The first School Districts in the City were established September 25, 1837, and were as follows: The first District, that portion of the City East of Locust Street : the second District, that portion between Locust and Adams; and the Third Distriet, the portion West of Adams Street.
