Abstract
A summary of the resource.
There is a significant difference between the wording in the original ledger and what appeared in the published minutes of the Common Council regarding John Ellwood's election as first Chief Engineer of the City Fire Department.
The published minutes state: "On motion a ballot was ordered for the selection of a chief of fire department, resulting in the choice of Mr. John H. Ellwood."
The original ledger states: "Voted: To proceed in the same manner of the Election of Chief Engineer a Ballot being taken - without a choice it was [new line] Voted: To take a formal vote which resulted in the choice of J.H. Elwood he receiving a majority of the Votes Cast." For the other city officers named, the wording - "without a choice" and "majority" do not appear.
