The front of the first floor was rented for general business purposes, the back part was used as a Burgess office, lockup and hose room. The front room of the second floor was occupied by the Town Council, and the rest rented as offices. The third floor was furnished as a lodge hall and leased to various secret organizations. This building answered the general purposes of a city building

CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF CONNELLSVILLE
for a brief space of time. It was objected to very fre- quently by the citizens, on account of its being located in such a public part of the town, so that all arrested persons were brought so prominently before the people. The Town Council finally worked up their courage to the point of action and decided, by resolution, to erect a City Hall, on what was known as the public ground. This was at once objected to by some of the adjoining property owners, and an injunction (preliminary) was granted June 21, 1901. Testimony was taken and arguments heard, and on July 15, 1901, this preliminary injunction was dissolved by Judge Robert E. Umbel. Exceptions were filed to this decision, and again they were overruled. An appeal was then taken to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, which sustained the action of the lower court. It was claimed that the Town Council had no other authority for the erection of a City Hall, than a municipal ordinance of the Borough, directing it to be erected there, and that the ground was given by Zachariah Connell, the donor of the land, in 1793, whereby he dedicated the said public ground to "be and continue free for the use of the inhabitants of the said town and for travelers who may erect thereon temporary boat yards or may from time to time occupy the same, or any part thereof for making any vessels and other conveniences for the purpose of conveying their property to or from the said town," which dedication by the owner makes it illegal for the Town Council, by a Borough ordinance to take any part of said public ground for building purposes.
The answer prepared by the counsel for the Borough admitted the dedication and the purpose of the Council ; and claimed that the Council had a right to erect said build- ing on said grounds, that it would improve the public grounds, and that it was not contrary to the dedication of the grounds by Zachariah Connell, in his charter of 1793.
The findings of the Court were that Mr. Zachariah Connell was the owner in fee when he made the dedication to the inhabitants of Connellsville, that the public use "for
81
CIVIC DEVELOPMENT
travelers who may erect thereon temporary boat yards, etc." had ceased to exist ; that the dedication by Zachariah Connell was an irrevocable dedication of the land; that it is a grant to a charitable use of a two-fold character, namely for the use of the inhabitants of Connellsville and for trav- elers to build boats, and that either branch of this charita- ble use could exist without the other ; that the Burgess and Town Council of Connellsville are ex-officio trustees and vested with reasonable discretion in the execution of their trust, that the proposed use to be made of this ground, is not inconsistent with the dedication and grant of said land, and the erection of said buildings is part of or at least germane to the use for which it was originally dedicated. There were two questions involved in this legal contest- first, whether a Borough Council, acting solely upon the authority of its own ordinance, could erect a building upon this public ground, which had been preserved free from all buildings for more than one hundred years, and; second, whether or not a public use created by the owner of land, can be lost by non-use or be extinguished by a Borough or a Court.
The decisions of the various courts in favor of the Borough, giving them the right to occupy and erect thereon buildings, was not only a glorious victory for those con- cerned in this work, but it was the means whereby a dis- graceful plot of ground in the center of the Borough, has been transformed into one of usefulness and beauty.
The Town Council lost no time, after disposing of the old public building by auction to the highest bidder, to use this money to erect on this plot of ground a large and com- modious City Hall. Plans were prepared, and bids received, and the contract let to Calhoun & Co., August 3, 1901, for the erection of the present public building for the sum of $15,140. A strike among the mechanics delayed the work, and it was not completed and occupied until August 18, 1902. This building is two stories high, with a finished basement and attic, built of buff brick and of the old Dutch style of architecture.

CIVIC DEVELOPMENT
The grounds around the City Hall have recently been graded, and, by the donations of several citizens, planted in beautifully arranged flower beds, and grassy plots, mak- ing it an attractive spot to strangers and a joy to the heart of every citizen of the Borough.
BOROUGH EXTENSIONS
The original plot of the town, as laid out by Zachariah Connell on the 21st day of March, 1793, was bounded on the north by North alley on the east by East alley, on the south by South alley and on the west by the Youghiogheny river. The plan of lots as incorporated by the Act of Assembly, March 1st, 1806, included Connell's plan of lots, and much additional territory, which is described and bounded in Chapter II of this book. On April 20th, 1874, Council passed an ordinance admitting a large section adja- cent to the Borough of Connellsville as a part of said Bor- ough. This petition contained the names of many residents not now living, as James Calhoun, Henry Porter, Thomas Balsley, Jacob May, A. S. Cameron, James P. McKarnes, Samuel Porter and some still living as John Detemple, James Stafford and others.
This section, lying adjacent to the said Borough, is described as follows, to wit: "Beginning on the west side of the Youghiogheny River where the present upper line of the Borough touches low water mark, thence up the west side of the said river, at low water mark, by the several courses thereof-feet; thence across said river to the eastern bank thereof, thence south seventy-eight degrees, east two hundred and ninety-eight feet to Grays' orchard fence; thence crossing the Pittsburg and Connellsville railroad and Trumps' run where a small stream enters the same, south seventy-six and 1/2 degrees, east nineteen hun- dred and fifty-seven feet to a stone; thence crossing the Trump road north thirty degrees east two thousand five hundred and fourteen feet to a large black oak; thence crossing the Clay Pike north thirty-five degrees, east, three

thousand two hundred feet to a red oak, a corner ; thence north thirty-two and one-half degrees west seventeen hun- dred and sixty-five feet to the angle formed by the junction of the Break Neck and Mt. Pleasant roads; thence north seventy-one degrees east two thousand nine hundred and twenty feet crossing a public road and Mountz Creek to a point in the public road where the South Western Penn- sylvania Railroad crosses the same; thence by said public road four hundred and sixty-four feet to a point where the railroad of the Pittsburg & Connellsville Gas Coal & Coke Co., crosses the same; thence by the present line of the railroad of said company four thousand one hundred and seventy feet to where the same connects with the Pittsburg & Connellsville Railroad; thence crossing the mouth of Mountz creek and also crossing the Youghiogheny river by straight line- feet to low water mark on the lower side of Opossum Creek, where the same empties into said river ; thence up said river on the western side of said river at low water mark-feet to the present lines of said Borough to the place of beginning, be and the same is here- by admitted a part of the said Borough of Connellsville, and hereafter the said section shall forever be deemed and taken and allowed to be part of said Borough and subject to the jurisdiction and government thereof as fully as if the same had been originally a part of said Borough."
No additions were made to the Borough from 1874 until 1905. The growth of the town has been constant since the addition in 1874 and the building line has pushed itself beyond the confines of the Borough in almost every direc- tion. Particularly marked has this been toward the south, due to the numerous manufacturing plants located in that vicinity. A petition of the residents of the South Side was presented to Council, early in the year 1905, for admission to the Borough. By an ordinance, dated March 20, 1905, their request was granted. This plot was bounded by the river on the west, Woodlawn avenue on the south, and chiefly by Isabella street on the east. The chartered Bor-

ough of 1806 contained 152 acres. The additions of 1874 contained 426 acres making in the Borough at that time 578 acres. The addition of 1905, known as the South Side addition, contained 21812 acres, so that the Borough of Connellsville at this date contains 79612 acres.
This latest addition to the Borough is thus described :
"Beginning at a point on the west side of the Yough- iogheny river and at the present Borough line; thence south ?? degrees, 39 minutes east 705.2 feet to a point in the B. & O. yards; thence south 78 degrees 3 minutes east 1957 feet to a point on the east side of an alley running be- tween Davidson avenue and Newmeyer avenue; thence north 28 degrees 13 minutes east 1682.3 feet to a point in the middle of Isabella street; thence south 35 degrees 54 minutes east 1354.32 feet to a point in the middle of New- meyer avenue and Isabella street; thence south 16 degrees east 1926.59 feet to a point on the extension of Woodlawn avenue ; thence south 86 degrees 2 minutes west 440.21 feet to Oak street; thence south 89 degrees forty-four (44) minutes west 1962.2 feet to Etna street; thence south 16 degrees east 112.37 feet to Soisson street or Gibson ave- nue; thence north ?9 degrees 20 minutes west 183.50 feet . to a point ; thence south 84 degrees 10 minutes west 351.3 feet to a point in Gibson avenue; thence south ?1 degrees west 251.5 feet ; thence south 58 degrees west 237 feet to a point ; thence south 76 degrees 38 minutes west 760 feet to the west side of the Youghiogheny river ; thence along and with the Youghiogheny river and its meanderings to the place of beginning, and lying adjacent to the said Bor- ough of Connellsville, to be annexed to, admitted to, taken in and made part of the said Borough of Connellsville and that boundary lines of the said Borough of Connellsville be and they are hereby extended so as to include all of the aforesaid and hereinbefore described piece or parcel of land, which said territory so as aforesaid to be annexed is shown and delineated on the plot annexed to and made part of the said petition, a copy of which said petition and of which said

2nd. "That the Borough Solicitors be, and they are hereby authorized to prepare and file in the Court of Quar- ter Sessions of Fayette county, a plan or plot showing the boundary of the original Borough of Connellsville and the extension hereby admitted, and a certified copy of this ordinance and the description of the boundaries of the orignal Borough of Connellsville and of the Borough of Connellsville as hereby extended, as directed by the Act of Assembly in such case made and provided."
POPULATION.
The earliest record of the number of people living in Connellsville is that of Thaddeus Mason Harris of the Massachusetts Historical Society, who made a tour through this region in 1803. In his journal of Monday, June 13, 1803, he made the following note: "After dining in Union- town with Judges Addison and Roberts and other law- yers, towards evening we pursued our journey as far as Connellsville, where we slept. This town has been settled eight years. It is pleasantly situated on the Yough River and contains about 80 houses, and 400 inhabitants."
His description of our river is also interesting: "The name of this river is spelt by some writers Yohogany, and by others Yoxhiogeni, by General Braddock it is written Youghgoughane, but the common pronunciation is Yoka- gany, and the inhabitants in these parts call it the Yough River."
The above statement undoubtedly refers to the number of people in this entire region and not the town alone. The U. S. Treasurer's reports give the following figures :

BOROUGH SEALS.
The first Act of the first Council, and the first ordinance passed at the first meeting, was to adopt a seal for the Borough of Connellsville.
This meeting was held April 16, 1806.
At the seventh meeting of Council on Sept. 5, 1806, the Clerk was authorized to procure a seal and a screw for the use of the corporation, and to draw on the Treasurer for the amount of the same.
This seal is a reproduction of the eagle side of the silver half dollar of that date, with the inscription, "Borough of Connellsville."
SECOND SEAL.
It was first used by Council, July 14, 1843, when it was attached to a supplementary ordinance passed at that date.
This same seal was readopted by an ordinance passed April 12, 1886, which states that the seal shall be the "plow and anvil surrounded by the inscription, Borough of Con- nellsville, Pa."
These two seals are reproduced on the cover of this book.
