MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.
The town of York, founded by the heirs of William Penn in 1741, existed for a pe- riod of forty-six years before any attempt was made to incorporate it into a borough. At the close of the Revolution in 1783, the population was about 1,800. An act was passed by the General Assembly of Penn- sylvania and approved by the Supreme Ex- ecutive Council, September 24, 1787, incor- porating the borough of York, which then contained 2,000 inhabitants. Sometime be- fore this act of incorporation had been ap- proved by the state authorities a town meet- ing was held in the Court House, when Henry Miller was chosen chief burgess; David Candler, second assistant burgess, and Baltzer Spangler, Michael Doudel, Lauman, Peter Mundorf,

HISTORY OF YORK COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
David Grier and James Smith, assistant bur- gesses. Christopher Stair was chosen high constable and George Lewis Loeffler, town clerk. The act of incorporation empowered these men to perform the duties of the offi- ces to which they were chosen until the time of the annual election to be held in May, 1788.
The persons who held these First municipal offices for the first Officials. time had an interesting history. Henry Miller, the chief burgess, won a brilliant record in the Revolution, rising to the rank of colonel at the recom- mendation of Washington, under whom he served in more than a dozen battles. David Candler was a lieutenant in the Flying Camp. Baltzer Spangler commanded a militia company which performed active service, and kept one of the leading inns in York. Michael Doudel owned a large tannery on the south side of West Market Street, near the bridge, and commanded the first company which left York in the Rev- olution. Christopher Lauman was a lead- ing citizen who followed the occupation of a turner. Peter Mundorf owned the first drug store in the town and borough of York. David Grier had been a gallant sol- dier in the Revolution, rose to the rank of colonel, was severely wounded under Wayne at the battle of Paoli, became a practicing lawyer after the war and in 1789 was the first Presidential elector west of the Susquehanna. James Smith, a leader of the bar before the Revolution, had the distinguished honor of appending his name to the Declaration of Independence. Chris- topher Stair, the first high constable, and George Lewis Loeffler, town clerk, had both served with honor as soldiers of the Flying camp.
at the Court House where there should be nominated, elected and chosen by ballot, two able freemen to be burgesses, one to be constable, one to be town clerk, and six to be assistant burgesses. At these elec- tions no one could vote unless he were the owner of real estate in the borough and had resided there for one year next pre- ceding the election. The burgess receiv- ing the highest number of votes was the chief burgess.
Provisions were made for the calling of town meetings, at which meetings free- holders of the borough were allowed to pass the ordinances, impose fines, etc. The charter further provided that there should be an annual election in March, at which two supervisors of the highways and two assessors should be chosen. These officers were intrusted with the duty of assessing, levying and collecting the necessary taxes for the maintenance of the borough. The burgesses and assistants were empowered to appoint three discreet persons to be sur- veyors or regulators, for the purpose of regulating the streets, sidewalks and gut- ters, and of fixing the lines for the erection of buildings.
While this charter conferred Board of Burgesses. many privileges, the method of government established by its provisions became cumber- some in time, and in 1812 a supplement was enacted, under which the burgesses and assistant burgesses were invested with ' much greater powers, among others, the right to pass ordinances. This body was generally called the "Board of Burgesses," and after this time practically possessed the powers of a town council.
Another important supplement to the charter was passed in 1844, providing, among other things, that three assistant burgesses should be elected each year for a term of two years, and that the cliief and second burgess should be chosen di- rectly as such, instead of by the relative number of votes received by the candidates for burgess.

The borough was divided yearly thereafter, elections were to be held into five wards, each ward to elect one councilman every year for a two year term, so that the new body would have ten mem- bers. The office of second burgess was abolished and the chief burgess was selected to preside over the council.
In 1865 provision was made for the ap- pointment of a police force, not to exceed three officers for each ward. Before this time, the lives and property of the citizens had been guarded by watchmen who went about the town during the night calling out

By 1882 the borough had outgrown the provisions of the charter, which, as has been said, was granted by special act of assem- bly. Before 1873 the charter could be and had been amended by the legislature when changes became necessary, but after the adoption of the Constitution of 1873, no further amendments could be made. In 1851 the legislature passed what was known as the General Borough Law, which, being a general law could be amended under the new Constitution, as became necessary. This law provided that any borough incor- porated by special charter might accept the Under the charter of incorpora- First City tion as a city Daniel K.

The opponents of the movement made strong objections, and on December 13, the Gover- nor had a hearing to consider the objections, resulting in his refusal to grant a city char- ter by reason of the fact that in the elec- tion proceedings, certain technical steps required by law were not taken. The cam- paign was continued, however, and four years later, at the November election, 1886, the advocates of the city charter again carried the day. The opponents of the movement failing to convince the Governor that their objections were valid, the City Upon the organization of the councils at meetings held in the Vigilant engine house, April 4, W.
