This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 
to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the 
publisher to a library and finally to you. 

Usage guidelines 

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the 
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to 
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying. 

We also ask that you: 

+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for 
personal, non-commercial purposes. 

+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine 
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the 
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help. 

+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find 
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it. 

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just 
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other 
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of 
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner 
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe. 

About Google Book Search 

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and to make it universally accessible and useful. Google Book Search helps readers 
discover the world's books while helping authors and publishers reach new audiences. You can search through the full text of this book on the web

PREFACE. 



It 18 with pleasure that the Compiler of this volume of the 
Manual has been enabled to present it to the Municipal 
Authorities and the Public at a much earlier period than the 
preceding numbers. 

In relation to the work itself, to be brief, it may be safely 
stated, that no pains or labor has been spared in order to 
make it as it should be, a book of reference that may be relied 
on for accuracy in all its details. 

By an examination, it will be observed, that it is enlarged 
in size, and contains a greater quantity of matter than its pre- 
decessors. In short, the Compiler is willing that the book 
itself shall be its own test of merit. 

New'Tork, Sept. 18, 1844.

FIRE DEPARTMENT FUND. 

The permanent Fund of the Fire Department amounts to $33^969 95» 
$30,965 25 is loaned on bond nnd mortgage at seven per cent, per annom ; 
one thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars is invested in bank stock, 
and one thousand two hundred and fidy dollars (being the balance) is 



invested in Fire Insurance Stock. 



The proMttdfl aroing from the pennanent flind is about $9,Si50 per 
aaoom, while the expenditares exceed $8,000 per annum. The balance 
biJBg raised by firemen's ball, chimney fines, &o. 

The pensioners of the department number over one hundred and seven- 
tr widows, who are among the most exemplary and respectable members 
or society. Many of them are far advanced in the vale of years. 

Nine hundred children of firemen are at this moment receiving a course 
of instruction in the Publie Schools, which cannot fail to render them 
not only a credit to that institution, but eventually useful and honorable 
members of society. 

The compiler feels i% his duty to insert the following extract from the 
nport of the Trustees to the representatives of the Fire Department. 

'* The benevolence of our institution invested with attributes of so 
pore and lofty a character, reflects an unfading lustre upon the names of 
those excellent men who first established our fund. A precious, a rich 
Uessiog conferred upon the widow and the orphan, how deeply should 
each member of the department (as well as the Municipal authorities) 
be impressed with the saored and irapoitant interests which are involved 
is th« Qontl position of the Fire Department !'*

FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE CITY. 

The financial condition of the city on the Igt May. 1841. waa as fol- 
lown, as will be seen by the Mayor'i Message, from wnich the following 
itatement is taken — 

** I have requested from the Comptroller^ and receired a statement of 
tke City Debt np to the first of May last, from which the following ap- 



New York City Stocks of 1880 and 'Sa, $500,000 

Lew amount held by the Commissioners of Sinking 

Fund, 914200 

Public Building Stock, $515,000 

Less amount held by the Commissioners of Sink- 
ing Fund, 15,000 

Fire Loan Stock, a contingent liability, $888,000 

Less an equal amount of bonds and mortgages 

owned oy the Commissioners of Sinking Fund, 883,000 

Fire Indemnity Stock, $358,900 

Less amount held by the Commissioners of Sink- 
ing Fund, 123,700 

Floating Debt Stock, $350,000 

Less amount held by the Commissioners of Sink- 
ing Fund, 168,210 

Corporation Bonds — a contingent debt. $585,000 

Less an equal amount of liens on real estate, .... 585,000 

Water Stocks, . .' $7,949,377 

Less amount held by the Commissioners of Sink- 
ing Fund, 298,000 



$408,800 

500,000

236,200 

181,790 
000,000 

7,651,377 
$8,978,167 



"The City Stocks which will be held by the Commissioners of the 
Stoking Fund at the close of the present fiscal year, will be sufficient to 
eorer, and in effect cancel the stock of 1820 and ^29, and the Public 
Building Stock. The Fire Loan Stock and Corporation Bonds are con- 
tinmnt liabilities of the city, for which bonds and mortgages, and other 
reu estate liens, are held by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, 
which cao be realized and applied to the liquidation of the debt at any 
time. These, therefore, may be properly considered as no part of the 
city del^ but rather as a loan of its credit on full and perfect securities 



16S 

^ The Fire Tndemnity Stock is, for the moat pmrt, payable in twenty- 
seven years ; the provision for its redemption is an annual taxof ^85,000. 
to be levied upon the real and personal estate of the eitisens, one-hajf oi 
which tax would, however, acconqiUsh its redemption in the time fixed. 

*' The Floating Debt Stock is payable at the rate of $50,000 per anmmi, 
to meet which, a tax of the like sum is annually to be imposed. 

*' It will be seen, therefore, that the principal of all the stocks hen 
mentioned, (and which constitute the entire debt of the ciiy. except that 
for the constmction of the Croton Aqueduct,) is fully provided for, aai 
capable of being redeemed without resort to the revenues of the SinkiM 
Fund after the present year ; or, in other words, the proper income m 
the Sinking Fund, on and after May next, when the Croton Water will 
be introduced, will be applicable, solely, to the cancelling of the Watai 
Stocks. 



" The Water debt, as estimated, will reach $12,000,000. It is c 
ed that the income of the Sinking Fund, as at present constituted, will 
alone be sufficient to meet and cancel it in forty vears. It is to be re- 
membeied too, that the Sinking Fund will, long before that period, be 
greatly enlarged fiom the avails of such real estate as the Corporatioa 
may sell ftom time to time." 



FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE CITY— 1843. 

The financial condition of the city on the 7th of May, 1849, was ai 
follows, as will be seen by the Comptroller's Report to the Board of Al- 
dermen, [see Document No. 84,] from which the following statement ii 
taken. 

CITY DEBT, MAY 7, 1842.

*' The proTUiioiM already eitablUbed by law for the. payment of thia 
hi. are ample ; the faith and firoptrt§ of the City are pledged for the 
ion of the Water Debt, as well aa for the other Stocki of the 



City ; these latter are already secured by active means on hand ; the 
p«ymeDt of the Water Stock is distributed through a period of forty 
jemn : the Sinking Fund, established to redeem the old Stocks, is con- 
tinned and made applicable to the Water Stocks, by repeated enactments 
•f both the State and City Grovemmeuts. This fund alone, without 
• of the ' 



b to the property of the Corporation, is capable of redeeming the 
t within that period ; its minimum revenue of $300,000 would alone 
field in the forty years $8,000,000, and the compounding through that 
daw would increase it $4,000,000 more." 



FINANCIAL CONDITION OP THE CITY— 1843. 

The financial condition of the city on the S20th of May, 1843, is set 
fbith in the Mayor's Annual Message to the Common Council, as follows : 

The absolute city debt, both permanent and temporary, as measured 
by its atocks, bonds and checks, outstanding on the SOth instant, was 
Si3,G97,323 33. This sum, however, includes a nominal debt to the 
Commissioners of the Sinking Fund as holders of its stocks to the amount 
of $965,805. With this proper deduction the whole absolute debt may 
be stated at $12,731,518 33, composed of the following items : 

New-York City Stock of 1820 and 1889 $500,000 

Less amount held by Commissioners of Sinking 

Fund 95,400 

$404,600 00

Wamnti of Cheeks outstanding 82,394 33 

$12,731,518 33 



164 

In addition to the above, other certificates of itoeki and bonda have 
been issued, under the authority of the Corporation, to the amount <^ 
dpiO,1C2 G4, which may properly be regarded a continent liability, and 
for which the city is indemnified by absolute liens on real estate situate 
in this country. This contingent debt consists of the fbllolring items : 

Fire Loan Stock $595,000 i 

Less City Stocks held by Commissioners of Sink- i 

ingFund 184,780 

$340,330 W ] 

Assessment Bonds 300,000 00 

Revenue Bonds 109,909 M J 

$710,168 94 1 

i 

The provisions for the payment of the above debt are stated in the 
exhibit for the preceding your. See page — . i 

The following is an extract from a communication of the Comptroller 
made to the Board of Aldermen, July 31, 1843. 

An examination of the schedules will show that the Real Estate at 
the City, including the Croton Water V^'orks, is estimated at 933,037, 
810 70, and produces a yearly rental of ^313,746 80 ; about $55,000 of 
which is pledged to and pa'id into the Sinking Fund, by ordinance of 
1813 to reduce the principal of the City Debt, (which this day amounts 
to $13,854,552 00,) and tht; balance is paid into the Treasury to meet, 
in part, the inl crest of the Debt, according to the Act of June 8, 161S, 
which pledges the whole of the revenues of the Corporation for that 
purpose.

manta, and especially tho re^ubr akeioH^tions of study, hikir, and recre- 
Mion, are fnvontble to lu^alth, and under Providanfo tilford as good ad- 
vanta^L>a for the preaervtition of that ineatiniuble blcasing, as our pupili 
would prubnbly enjoy in any oihor iiituatiuijt 

The me ehariicuf employ men is, offered to tbo choice of ihe pupila or 



their friondS] have contjiiued the »ame llmt were i 



riQed in former r«- 



I, nmmely : for the males, gardening, •hoemakingf tailoring, eabinei- 

ine, and bookbinding ; for the females, tailoring, and drenmakiag, 

fokiine and atitchtng of books. ThoM who do not detire to leani 

ler of the above named trades, are taught plain sewing, and all are 

etised in the lighter household duties of their sex. 

fhe views of the Board respect ing the great importance of the me> 

laical department of the Institution for tbe Deaf and Dumb, have 

sn repeatedly expressed in former reports ; and they are gratified to 

leeive unequivocal indications that this feature in their system of 

lUeation is approved bv public sentiment. 

It Is a rule universally known and acted on, that the labor of very 

oang apprentices will hardly pay the expense of superintendence and 

lateiials. Our pupils usually leave us just when they have acquired 

kin enou^ to make their labor profitable. Hence no expectations 

rei» ever entertained of derivinff, from the shops, an income beyond 

jMir Decenary expenses. They have been, and will be, maintained at 

MNBO addition to the annual expenditure of the Institution, should such 

be found necessai^, for the same reason that a parent will incur some 

expense to give his children a suitable trade — because the mechanical 

•iall, and the habits of industrv and regularity acquired in them, are 

deemed, in the great majority of cases, indispensable parts of tbe edu- 

evtioa M tbe deaf and dumb. 

The Asylum is situated on 50th-st, cor- Avenue 4tb.

of this Reservoir is on the .'>th avcnur>, lii;tween 4<)th and 4*3(1 strcctii, and 
i-i three mile* fhnn the City Hall ; it is 4*20 feetHquaro on the cornice of

The Reccivini: Reservoir has a capacity of 153,000,000 imperial gal

The Croton ReHcrvoir (whieli has received the name of Crolon

.'i:m»,00.1,000 imperial ffnllon« of water, above the level that would allow 
the Aipioduct to dt^charffo 35,(K)0,0.)() gallons per day. The (low of the 
Croton is aboAt !J7,O:)(),OJ0 pillions in twenty-four hours at tho lowi>5i

two to three months in the year. This may be considered tho minimaei 
••■■ipiiciiy of the river. Wh'Mi the wants of the city shall requini a daily 
supply of 3.'>,0{)J,UU0 galliHifi, it will bo n<!ce<>siiry, dniing the season oV 
hiwcrit water, to dinw d.iily from this Reservoir 8,000,000 gallons, te 
mike up the deficiency in the n Kuril flow of tho river. This amount 
th» Reservoir woa'd supply for (t'3 d.iys, without any aid firom occasional 
r.iins ; which may safely b'; relieil upon, to keep up the required supply 
from the Reservoir, beyond any «lrou;'ht we hav«! ^tound to npprchcnd. 
The supply of th-^ (-ro'ton, from its dally How, aided by this Reservoir, 
may therefore be taken with ;rre it c.onllden'-e, at 3r>.000,000 gullou<t 
which will bo very anjjde for tho wants of the city for a long time to 
come ; and when the day arrives that it will reipiirea larger quantity, ii 
may bo o!)tained by const rnciin!; other reservoirs farther up the streaji;, 
where there arc abundant facilities for such purposes.

MottT *$««««■• 

To meet on Wedne«day eYening next at 6 o'clock, at Aldeman Ik 
La Mootagnie'i. 



The Compiler to close this volume of the " Manual," presents the sub- 
joined extracts from the ancient Records of the City, commencing at the 
early period of 1647, and continuing the same down to about the year 
1797. These curious matters have been selected from records in the 
office to which he is attached. The want of time has prevented him 
from making them more copious, which he regrets, as he feels assured 
that no one who shall read them but will wish they occupied a larger 
space in this volume ; as they are, even at this late day, full of interest 
and instruction. 



ORDINANCES, &c., 

OF THC 

Director General and the Council of New JYetherland. 

To all persons to whom these presents may or shall come, or who may 
or shall hear them read: — 

Patrus Sutvesaitt, Director General of New Netherland, Curacoai 
&:Cm and the Islands of the same, Captain and Commander of the Com- 
pany's ships and vessels cruising in the West Indies, Sendeth Greeting : 

Whereas we have observed and remarked the insolence of some of 
our inhabitants, who are in the habit of getting drunk, of quarreling, 
fighting, and of smiting each other on the Lord's day or rest, of which 
on the last Sunday we ourselves witnessed the painful scenes, and we 
came to the knowledge of by report, in defiance of the Magistrates, to 
the contempt and disregard of our person and authority, to the great an- 
noyance of the neighbourhood ; and finally to the injurjr and dishonour- 
ing of God's holy laws and commandments, which enjoin upon us to 
honour and sanctify him on this holy day of rest, and which proscribe all 
personal injury and murder, with the means and temptations that may 
lead thereunto. Therefore, by the advice of his Excellency the Direc- 
tor General, and our ordained Council hero present, to the end that we 
may, as far as it is possible and practicable, take all due care and prevent 
the curse of God instead of his blessing from falling upon us and our 
good inhabitants, wo do by these presents charge, command, and enjoin 
upon all Tapsters and Inn-Keepers that on the Sabbath of the Lewd, 
eommonly called Sunday, before two of the clock in the afternoon, in i 



294 

cane there is no preaching, or otherwise before fbar of the clock (in ih« 
aAcmoon) they shall not be pf^rmitted to set, nor draw, nor bring out for 
any person or persons any loines, beers, nor any strong waters of toy 
kind whatsoever, and whatever pretext, excepting only persons travellins 
and the daily boardeis that may from necessity be confined to theirplaeei 
of abode, in the pennlty of being deprived of their occupations, and over 
that in the penalty of Six CarolusGclders fur each person that during sud 
time may ur shall have run up a score for any wine or beer in their boose. 
And furthermore, we do hereby forbid all Inn-Keeiicrs and Tapsten 
whatsoever to keep his house open for common company, or to tap,OT 
deal out on said day, or any other day in the week, after the ringing of 
the bell in the evening, which shall take place about nine of the clock, 
any wines, beers, or strong waters, excepting all the members of their 
families, travellers, and boarders, umter the same penalty ; and to the 
end that we may take all due care to prevent all rash drawing of kjiives, 
all fightings and personal injuries, and all catastrophes resulting from the 
Kamc. Therefore, with the praiseworthy approbation of their fligh. Wise, 
and Honorable Councillors of the City of Amsterdam in New Nether- 
land, by these presents wo do proclaim and ordain that all persons who 
shall rashly or in anger draw, or who shall have drawn any knife ordag- 
^^r against another person, in such case shall be fined in the penalty of 
One Hundred (Jarolus Gelders, oi in case of their failure in the payment 
of the same, they shall be put to the most menial labour, with bread and 
water fur their subsistence, or in case any person shall have been wounded 
thereby, the pennlty shnll be Three Hundred Carolus Gelders, or an ad- 
ditional half^ year's confinement to the most menial labour, with bread 
and water for their subsistence. 

We do also charge and command our Fiscal, our Lieutenant, oar Ser- 
;;eant8, Corporals, and every one of our citizens and inhabitants as well 
as the soldiers, on all occasions, with all due zeal and activity and fideli- 
ty, to take measures that all such persons be pursued and apprehended, 
so that they may be proceeded against and dealt with as the law directs. 
Done in Fort Amsterdam, on this last day of May, in the year of our 
Lord one thousand six hundred and forty-seven.— 1647. 



Whereas his Excelloncv the Director General and the Uononrable 
the Council have been credibly informed that certain individual traders 
engaged in the southern trades and sailing under the license of this gov. 
ornmont. are in the practice of going into the interior and entering into 
the Maquaes Country, whereby the regular traffic is ruined not on iv, but 
to the great damage and loss of the privileges of those traders who re- 
main with their cargoes at the usual places of deposit, and morever by 
such means the good understanding with Indians may be interrupted, aira 
they may be stirred up to murder and put to death such and such persons, 
whereby these districts of country are in constant danger of being brought 
into difficulty and war — 

Therefore, to the end that we may in the most effectual wav guard the 
interest and honour of the West India Company, we have forbidden and 
iiiterdicted, and we do by these presents from this time forbid and inter- 
dict every one of our inhabitants from having the hardihood to go into the

SMMily. The proper aad attained afea of Johanme Van Beeek ud 
MarU Verleth. 
Thirdly, The eoment of the Father and Blother of the daughter. 
FaurtUif. The distance and remoteness between this and oor Ftthei- 
land, together with the calamitous relation between Holland and Eag- 
land. 

F^UUy. The danger in each case arising from lon^ retardation betweeo 
these two young persons becoming public, blame wing attached to As 
families on either side. 

Our Theologians and our Jurists do say correctly on sneh matters, that 
we must not commit any lesser sins to aroid greater onea, therafiNa ws 
think (with due submission,) that by suitable marriage, (the Apoatia b 
bis opiatle to the Hebrews calls the bed undefiled honourable,) hoth the 
leaser and the greater crimes are prevented. 

Therefore the Burgomasters and Bchcpens of this City New Amster- 
dam, do judge that the aforesaid young persons having made their proper 
Ecclesiastical proclamations with the earliest opportunity, and thi^ thej 
follow it up with the bonds of matrimony immediately thereafter. 

Done at the Stadt House, in New Amsterdam in New Netherlanda, this
