"By the Governor :
"CHARLES W. STONE, "Secretary of the Commonwealth."
W. Horace Rose. mayor-elect, called the members-elect to the select and common councils to meet on Saturday evening, March 1. 1890, for the purpose of making preliminary arrange- ments for the organization of the new city government.
They met on that day in the temporary building on the northwest corner of Market Square. The mayor-elect pre- sided, and Edward A. Barry was chosen secretary. The re- sult of the meeting was the appointment of the following com- mittees :
Committee on Ordinances, more especially those relating to the public peace-W. Horace Rose, George W. Moses, Dr. B. L. Yeagley, Edward A. Barry, Richard Davis, and Thomas Matthews.
Committee to Secure a Suitable Place of Meeting-H. W. Slick, Charles Brixner, and John Neary.

On Printing-William A. Donaldson, Peter Buser, Benja- min Kist, Alfred Slater. Adam Huebner, and J. M. Davis.
The committee to prepare ordinances met at the office of Mayor-elect Rose on Saturday, March 15, 1890, and outlined a criminal code, so as to rush it through as soon as the city was in full life, on the first Monday of April. All the old laws had expired with the borough, and there was no authority to enact new ones.

HISTORY OF CAMBRIA COUNTY.
The Committee on Police met March 21, 1890, and decided there was need for twenty-five policemen, their salaries to be : For the Chief, $80 per month; the Lieutenant, $70; patrolmen, $60.
The Committee on Officers and Salaries met on the same evening and suggested the following schedule: Mayor. $1,800: · Controller, $900; Treasurer, $900; Engineer, $1,300; Assistant Engineer, $500; City Solicitor, $800; City Clerk and Clerk of Select Council, $700; Clerk of Common Council, $250; City Assessors. each, $250; Marketmaster, $1 per day for time em- ployed and ten per cent of collections.
The Mayor-elect called a joint meeting of the Councils to consider the reports, on Monday, March 26, 1890. Alexander Kennedy was chosen chairman and Edward Barry secretary. The reports were practically approved, excepting that the Solicitor's salary was reduced to $600 and subsequently that of the Mayor was increased to $2,500, but in 1893 it was re- duced to $1,700.
On Monday, April 7, 1890, the day set for the inaugura- tion, rain fell until after high noon, but this did not prevent the officers-elect from turning out for duty, nor interfere with the prearranged program.
The officers-elect met on the Market Square, where a platform had been erected for the occasion. Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Barry, councilmen-elect, and who were the temporary of- ficers, reassumed their positions. The meeting was called to order, all the city officers and councilmen being present. Chair- man Kennedy introduced Judge Robert L. Johnston, who spoke cheerfully and in a congratulatory vein on the occasion of the community becoming a city. Judge Johnston administered the oath of office to Mayor Rose and most of the others. The mayor delivered his inaugural address, and Colonel W. D. Moore, of Pittsburg, also spoke to the assemblage of residents and vis- iters from near-by places within and without the county.
At the conclusion there was a parade of the citizens and visitors, with displays of our industrial works, and Johnstown was duly started as a city of the third class.
To preserve the autonomy of the election, ward, and school district of the new city, the first seven wards of the Borough of Johnstown were made the first seven wards of the city, as we have given them.
256
HISTORY OF CAMBRIA COUNTY.
TILE EIGHTH WARD-GRUBBTOWN.
The Eighth ward was formed out of the borough of Grubb- town, which had been incorporated June 5, 1882, being taken from Upper Yoder township. A remonstrance was filed at the time, praying that the name be changed to "Georgetown," but the remonstrators were not successful. and on March 3, 1884, another effort was made to change the name, but it remained to the memory of William Rinaldo Grubb.
The territory in Roxbury borough, excepting the Roxbury park, was annexed to the Eighth ward by an ordinance ap- proved April 6, 1901.
The borough of Roxbury was incorporated March 12, 1894, and on January 2. 1901, the council and burgess passed and approved an ordinance favoring annexation, which in- cluded the park, but on an appeal to the court of common pleas the park was eliminated. There are two election precincts in this ward.
NINTH AND TENTH WARDS-CONEMAUGH BOROUGH.
The Ninth and Tenth wards were formed out of the two wards of Conemaugh borough, which was the second borough to be chartered by the name of Conemangh, by an act of as- sembly passed March 23. 1849, entitled "An Act to Incorporate the Island, in Conemaugh Township, Into a Borough, to Be ('alled Conemaugh."
The act of assembly incorporating the boroughs of Johns- town and Conemaugh is rather unique, when considering the scramble for office which takes place now. It reads thus :
"That if any person elected to the office of Burgess, mem- ber of Town Council, or High Constable, shall refuse or neg- lect to take upon himself the duties of the said office, he shall forfeit and pay. for the use of said borough, the sum of ten dollars. But no person shall be compelled to serve more than once in any term of five years."
Conemaugh borough was made a separate school district, being taken from Conemaugh township, and on May 3. 1850, it was made a separate election district, to "hold their general and borough elections at schoolhouse No. 1," and "that George W. Easly is hereby appointed Judge, and David Prosser and John Headrick Inspectors for the first election." By a special act of January 26, 1854, all the borough and township elections in Cambria county were held on the third Friday of February.
257
HISTORY OF CAMBRIA COUNTY.
The borough continued undivided until March 20, 1862, when it was made into two wards as follows:
"All that part of said borough bounded by the Canal Basin on the north, Coal street and a line extending from the mouth and center of said street to the basin on the east, Main street and the borough line on the south, and the Canal Feeder on the west shall constitute the First Ward, and all the remaining part of said borough, not embraced in the above boundaries, shall constitute the Second Ward."
The First ward, as above described, is now the Ninth ward, and the Second ward is the Tenth ward of this city.
Henry Scanlan's survey of the boundary lines, streets, and alleys was approved by the borough officials and confirmed by an act of assembly passed May 5, 1871.
ELEVENTH WARD-WOODVALE.
The Eleventh ward was formerly the borough of Wood- vale, organized in March term, 1870, by a decree of the court of quarter sessions. The first election was held July 19, 1870, and George W. Fasly was elected burgess. It includes the territory north of the Little Conemaugh river, and extends up the river to a point just east of the new Maple avenue bridge.
TWELFTH WARD-PROSPECT.
The Twelfth ward was the old borough of Prospect, or- ganized by a decree of the same court on December 9, 1863. Its territorial limits include the land north of the Little Conemangh river and east of the Ebensburg road, and a portion above Tuttle and Masters streets, in Peelorville, west of the road. It joins the Eleventh, ward on the east and the Thirteenth on the west.
THIRTEENTH AND FOURTEENTH WARDS-MILLVILLE BOROUGH.
The Thirteenth and Fourteenth wards were the two wards of Millville borough, which was also organized as a borough by a decree of the court on July 16, 1858, when William Canan was elected burgess.
On the 12th of March, 1873, a special act of assembly was passed, wherein it was set forth that the original plot of the boundaries, streets, and alleys in the borough of Millville had been lost, and that the borough officials had directed that a true and correct plot of the borough be made by William Slick, jr., which had been executed. approved, and was by the said act confirmed.

HISTORY OF CAMBRIA COUNTY.
Millville borough was divided into two wards in 1875. The division line begins in the center of the Conemaugh river, about the center of the northwest side of the Stone bridge.
The Thirteenth ward lies east of the river and northeast of the Stone bridge, taking in a portion of Fulton street, thence along the line of the Twelfth ward to a point in the river in the rear of the Penn Traffic store.
The remaining parts of the old borough, north and west of the Stone bridge, are the Fourteenth ward.
FIFTEENTH AND SIXTEENTH WARDS-BOROUGH OF CAMBRIA.
The Fifteenth and Sixteenth wards were the two wards of the borough of Cambria, created by a decree of the court on April 5, 1861. Francis Gallisoth was elected burgess. The borough was divided into two wards in 1877, the dividing lines being the center line of Third avenue, the portion east of it being the Fifteenth ward and west of it the Sixteenth ward.
THE SEVENTEENTH WARD-MOXHAM.
The Seventeenth ward was taken from the Seventh ward of the borough of Johnstown. In the fall of 1889 the land in- cluded in the Seventeenth ward was joined to the old borough of Johnstown, and was part of the Seventh ward at the time of the election held in November, 1889, but in 1891 the Seven- teenth ward was created by a decree of the court.
On March 27, 1899, an ordinance was approved annexing a part of the Alonzo Rodgers' farm to the Seventeenth ward. The part taken consists of 33 acres and 119 perches, of which 5 acres and 136 perches were under water and formed a part of the Stonycreek river.
MORRELLVILLE ANNEXATION- EIGHTEENTH, NINETEENTH, TWEN- TIETH WARDS.
In 1897 there were about four thousand people in the borough of Morrellville, and a large majority of them desired to be annexed to the city of Johnstown, while the sentiment in the city was overwhelmingly in favor of the project.
On August 20, 1897, in response to petitions from three- fifths of the citizens of Morrellville borough, council passed a resolution favoring annexation. This proceeding properly certified by M. V. Fry, president, and R. H. Overdorff, clerk, and approved by W. D. Galbreath, burgess, was duly presented to the select and common councils of the city. There was no
259
HISTORY OF CAMBRIA COUNTY.
opposition to it in either branch, and the officials were appar- ently going with the sentiment of the people.
The ordinance annexing Morrellville was introduced in the city legislature by W. H. Repp, September 21st, and unani- mously passed by both branches of council, October 12, 1897, but vetoed by the mayor. The question was taken before the court and July 29, 1898, President Judge Rice filed an opinion sustaining the lower court, which confirmed annexation. The case is reported in 7 Superior Court Reports, 532.
The Counsellors for the annexation were: Philander C. Knox, M. E. Olmstead, Thomas M. Marshall, H. W. Storey and M. B. Stephens. Those opposing were: George A. Jenks, W. Horace Rose, F. J. O'Connor and Horace R. Rose.
EIGHTEENTH WARD.
The borough of Morrellville was incorporated October 8, 1890, and was subsequently divided into three wards. It was named for Daniel J. Morrell, who was our most distinguished and useful citizen for over thirty years. Mr. Morrell died in Johnstown, August 20, 1885.
The First ward included the territory between the Six- teenth ward of the city of Johnstown and the south side of Fairfield avenue, and became the Eighteenth ward.
On December 1, 1900, that part of Lower Yoder township, consisting of 15.13 acres, between an extended line from Ninth avenue up the hill to the first alley in the rear of Virginia ave- nue, a part of the MeConanghy plan of lots, was annexed to this ward.
The first representatives from the Eighteenth ward were: Select council, F. E. Alter; common council, Alexander Wilson, and school controller. W. P. Davis.
NINETEENTH WARD.
The Second ward of Morrellville was that part lying north of, or below, Fairfield avenue and west and south of, or above. Chandler avenne up to the boundary line, and became the Nine- teenth ward of the city. The first member of select council was Louis Leckey; common council, M. V. Frey; and the first school controller was James A. Dick.
TWENTIETH WARD.
The Third ward included the territory lying east and north
260
HISTORY OF CAMBRIA COUNTY.
of, or below, Chandler avenue, and north of, or below, Fairfield avenue, down to the center of the Conemaugh river and be- came Twentieth ward of the city.
The first representatives were John L. Bash, select coun- cil; John F. Seigh, common council; and Albert M. Geer, school controller.
TWENTY-FIRST WARD-COOPERSDALE.
In the days of the Pennsylvania canal Coopersdale was known as the village of Perkinsville, and was the proud pos- sessor of a lock, known as Perkin's lock, for raising and lower- ing boats.
The borough was incorporated by the old district court, October 7, 1869, and named in honor of James Cooper. Its burgess then was Jeremiah Vaughn; council, M. A. Brown, Caleb Butler, Leonard Boyer, G. W. Gageby, and John Mc- Curdy.
The people of this municipality were always in favor of a greater Johnstown, and at the election held November 5, 1889, to determine whether the several boroughs would consolidate and make a city, they voted 53 to 17 in favor of being a part of a new city. But as their boundary lines were not contiguous to the city, being cut off on the one side of the river by Morrell- , ville and on the other by a strip of West Taylor township, the governor could not see his way to make it a part thereof.
However, as soon as the legal contest over the annexation of Morrellville was decided favorably, more than three-fifths of the citizens of Coopersdale presented a petition to their council, praying for action toward annexation at once. On January 15, 1898, such an ordinance was passed and approved by Morgan L. Williams, president; C. F. Schramm, clerk, and A. B. Cooper, burgess, and promptly presented to the councils of the city of Johnstown, whereupon the common council ap- proved the ordinance of annexation on March 22, 1898, and the select council on March 24, 1898, and it became the Twenty- first ward.
The first member of select council was A. B. Cooper; of common council, M. L. Williams, and school controller, Samuel Vaughn.
A foregoing plan (page 242) is an exact reproduction, on a smaller scale, of the original plan of what has since grown to be Johnstown city, but was designated Conemaugh, by Joseph
261
HISTORY OF CAMBRIA COUNTY.
Johns, its founder, having previously been known by the Indian name of Conemaugh Old Town. The lots, it will be observed, are all numbered, and those set aside for school and church purposes, as well as for a courthouse and other public buildings, are so referred to in the charter printed elsewhere.
The acre reserved for burial purposes is what is now known as the old Union graveyard. It does not, however, coin- cide with the description "at the upper end of the said tract of land," as found in the charter, and the only conclusion is that when the people came together on the 1st day of May, 1801, in pursuance of the terms of the charter, they prevailed upon Mr. Johns to allow them to select another site for the graveyard. As will be seen, the town as originally laid out extended up the rivers only as far as Franklin street.
There has been no way of learning how many people, if any, lived within the limits of the proposed town at the time the plan was made; possibly none as yet since the lots would seem to be laid out on an unbroken tract, but there were several residents in the close neighborhood. Joseph Johns' own house, which had already been built six years, was not in the new town, as will be observed by reference to the picture of the house and the accompanying description, printed elsewhere in connection with a sketch of Joseph Johns.
The method of numbering the above lots is worthy of notice. The lots were four rods wide and sixteen rods long.
Ever since 1844 the borough, and afterward the city, of Johnstown, was a separate school district. Until the Seventh ward was created in 1881, the school board consisted of six directors, who were chosen from any part of the borough, the subdivisions of wards being disregarded in their selection. Afterward, because the borough exceeded six wards, each ward elected one director until the incorporation as a city, when a new board of school controllers was formed of one member from each of the sixteen wards. Now there is a controller from each of the twenty-one.
Following are the votes in February, 1889, the last election held before the flood, and the general election held in November, 1889, the first one after the flood, excepting the ballot on the amendment to the constitution prohibiting the manufacture of liquor, which was held June 18, 1889:

The June election recalls the deplorable condition of the town and the manner of holding elections. The election on the constitutional question was eighteen days after the flood, and the people were scattered over the country, while some were living in tents and shanties in the vicinity. In the Second ward the polls had been in the office of the late 'Squire Strayer, at Market street and Locust alley; but it, with every other house in the ward, except probably five or six, had been swept away. Even the cellars had been filled with sand and debris, so that it was difficult to locate the polling place. The town was practi- cally under martial law, but not by an order of any authority. On the morning of the election a sufficient number of the former residents of the ward were found to hold the election. They had difficulty to find the place, but finally, after consultation and taking the angles of the streets and scraping away the dirt and sand, they concluded they had found the late residence of 'Squire Strayer, and, using one of the government's tents, with the guards marching around in uniform with muskets on their shoulders, the vote was cast as peacefully and as freely as it ever was.
