About the New York Police Department Perhaps the first uniformed policeman was the particular bellman mentioned in the proceedings
of the Common Council of July 8, 1683, who, it was ordered by the Mayor, should be provided with "a coat of ye citty
livery, with a badge of ye citty, shoes and stockings, and charge itt to ye account of the citty." It was also ordered
"that the Treasurer pay to Mr. Smith, Thirty-six shillings to buy wood for the watch." The Captains of the Watch,
too, were instructed to "disburse money for candles," and bring in their accounts quarterly to receive orders on
the Treasurer. The Overseers made a report recommending that £50 be raised for furnishing the "Night Guard of the
City" with fire and candles for a year. The suggestion was approved, and ordered to be carried out. But the next year
the Captains had to find supplies again, for the Council ordered the Mayor to Draw a warrant on the Treasurer for the payment
to each Captain of the Watch seven pounds, fourteen shillings and nine pence, current money of the province, "for supplying
ye Night guard of this City with fire and candles until the first day of August last, and that they be paid out of the Tax
raised to defray the same" Whatever fell short in the tax, the Treasurer was authorized to make good out of ordinary
revenue.
