About the New York City Police Department Governor Andros was superseded by governor Dongan, who arrived in the city on August
25, 1683. He is described a having been a man of broad and intelligent views upon all subjects of general interest, and moreover,
as being an accomplished politician. He gave the colony its first legislative assembly, which met in New York on October 17,
and consisted of the Governor himself, ten councillors appointed by him, and seventeen representatives elected by the people.
He very early divided the city into six wards, and the inhabitants of each were empowered to elect an Alderman annually to
represent them in the City Council. Shortly after his arrival, the municipality addressed a memorial to him on the subject
of the administration of civic affairs. He and his council asked for some further information on obscure points. The result
was the following document, which is valuable, not only for the light it throws on the prevailing system, but also for its
quaintness as an old-time colonial document.
