MANUAL OF COUNCILS
There are 971 Election Divisions in the City.
General Elections on Tuesday next following first Monday in November, in each year.
Elections for City. Ward, Borrough and Township Officers on the third Tuesday in February of each year.
The holding of elections at the place fixed by law is mandatory, and cannot properly be omitted.
In case of destruction of a designated building on eve of an election, or the refusal of the occupant of the premises designated to permit the election officers to occupy them for the purpose of holding an election, the election can be held at the nearest convenient place to the election division, as a matter of necessity; but, in all cases, the necessity must be absolute, dis- regarding all mere ideas of convenience.
District Election Boards shall consist of one Judge (from the majority party in the division) and two Inspectors, one from the majority, and one from the minority party, each Inspector to appoint one Clerk; the Judge receives fifteen dollars, and the Inspectors and Clerks five dollars each.
To entitle a person to vote, he shall have resided in the division 2 months before the election. Any per- son who shall have moved from one division to another within sixty days shall not be entitled to vote in either.
Residence is a question of intention, but to consti- tute a change of residence, some act must be done in pursuance to the intention.
To entitle a person to vote, he shall have paid a State or County tax within two years, which was assessed 61 days and paid at least one month before the election. If he has lost his receipt, he may make affidavit of the fact.
The presentation of a tax receipt is good evidence of the payment of the tax.
A tax on real estate or on personal property, entitles to vote, without a poll tax.
A mercantile, liquor or peddler's tax does not give the right to vote.
No person can be an Election Officer who holds, or for two months prior to the election has held, any office, appointment, or employment in or under the
103

FAIRMOUNT PARK.
NOTE .- Hunting Park, 43 acres (not included).
The nucleus of Fairmount Park was the acquire- ment by the City of five acres of Morris' Hill at Twen- ty-fifth and Spring Garden streets, in June, 1812, for water works and park purposes. In 1828, by addi- tional purchases of land, the Park contained twenty- eight acres. Subsequently the Lemon Hill estate was purchased in 1865, and was dedicated as Fairmount Park. In 1867 intervening ground was taken by the City. About the same time one hundred and forty acres of land, on the west side of the Schuylkill river, known as Lansdowne, above Girard avenue, at one time the country seat of Governor John Penn, was purchased. Within its boundaries were the colonial residences known as "Eaglesfield," "Sweet Briar," "Lansdowne," and "Solitude." Solitude is now occupied by the Zoological Gardens. In 1868, George's Hill, containing eighty-three acres, was presented to the City by Jesse and Rebecca George. Other lands on the east and west side of the river, and on both sides of the Wissahickon creek, up to what is known as " Indian Rock," were acquired by purchase and incorporated into the Park limits.
108
MANUAL OF COUNCILS.
The Parks are connected at Girard avenue by a bridge of iron, which was opened for travel July 4, 1894. The house of William Penn, erected on Letitia street, near Front and Market streets, stands close to the western end of Girard avenue bridge, having been removed within a few years and re-erected at the point mentioned.
Belmont Mansion, in West Park, was erected about 1745. It was formerly the home of Richard Peters, a representative in Congress and Judge of the United States Courts. Washington, Franklin, Rittenhouse, Robert Morris, Jefferson and Lafayette were frequent visitors to the home of Mr. Peters. On the East Park drive is " Mt. Pleasant," the former residence of Bene- dict Arnold, built in 1762; and west of Mt. Pleasant is " Rockland," built in 1810. North of Mt. Pleasant is " Ormiston,"" ,a country seat built prior to the Revo- lution, and near it is "Edgely," the original Laurel H111.
Strawberry Mansion was formerly the country seat of Judge Hemphill.
The Wissahickon Drive, along the creek of that name, is full of traditonal spots. " Hermit's Lane'"' " Hermit's Glen." " Hermit's Well," " Lover's Leap," " Washington's Rock," "Devil's Pool " and "Indian Rock," all having their stories and legendary ro- mance.
