Excerpt from A Catalogue of the City Councils of Boston, 1822-1908, Roxbury, 1846-1867, Charlestown, 1847-1873 and of the Selectmen of Boston, 1634-1822: Also of Various Other Town and Municipal OfficersAS the Common Council has always consisted of members elected from the several wards, it will be of service to have a statement of the boundaries of the wards as they have been from time to time established, These lines were established in 1822, 1838, 1850, 1865, 1875 and 1895.The first division, in 1822, was made by the selectmen of Boston, under the power given in the act establishing the city. It was based on the number of inhabitants as shown by the last preceding census taken by the United States, and the City Council was empowered to alter the lines not oftener than once in ten years.The second division was not made, however, until 1838, when an ordinance was passed, September 20. Our text is taken from the Municipal Register for 1846, which seems to be the earliest volume containing it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
