The first City Hall of New York was
the "Stadt Hugs" erected by the
Dutch inhabitants in 1912, at the head
of Coenties Slip, the waters of which
extended as far as what is now Pearl
street 1t was very primitive struc-
city until 100, when a new City Hall
was built at the head of Broad street,
fronting on Wall street. The year be-
fore the Common Council had voted
$4,000 (about SIS ,000) in addition to
about $4,000 received from John Rod
man, a merchant, for the old Stadt
Hugs, for the new hall, and it occu-
pied the site of one of the stout bas-
tions which were erected when the
defensive wall, or wooden palisade
(Which gave Wall street it's present
name), was built across the island.
The stone Of this bastion was used in
constructing the new building. The
front of the building was embellished
with the arms of the King and those
Of the Earl of Bellomont. These orna-
ments were defaeed and destroyed i'm
mediately after the close of the Revo-

Gil; and when the Declaration of In
dependence was read to the people in
1776 from the steps of the City Hall
the painted coat of arms that hung on
the wall of the main room was brought
out and thrown into the bonfire made
by the citizens to celebrate the event.

with the following incident of his
career:
The judges made strong campaign
to get the legislature to raise their
salaries. The bill met with great op-
position. Judge Fuller, who had no
small political influence, went up to
Pierre to see about 1t. He was met
by one of the leaders of the party.
How about this thing?" said the
judge.

gravely, you better drop this salary

"Why amt it?"
Don't you see, judge" explained
the politician, that If we put the sal

you want, the people will turn around
