Austin The charter was approved Feb.
ruary %, 1856, by the sixth Legislature, and
this correCts previous opinion of many
Old citizens, that the town was incorporated
aud chartered at an earlier date. The orig.
inal bill was drafted by Colonel Nat. NJ.
Buriord, then an attorney, visiting Austin
to prosecute case in the supreme court
aud was presented 10 the legislature by A.
J. Watt, member from this county. The
first offices to bo Il led were mayor, six
aldermen, treasurer, recorder and con.
sable, aud Sam Pryor was the mayor first
chosen to preside over the destinies OF the
new town OF Dallas. Nothing was said
about the number OF wards In the town,
and II is probable that the six aldermen
were chosen promiscuously all over
the little town. then only half nile
square, and containing about 100 voters.
