through a period Of apprenticeship there

In the earliest records we find that

rolled as freemen on completion Of

Records OF such cases are 10 be found
In the archives OF the reign Of George T.
At one time this freedom was a COM
mercial item OF no small importance,
FOR the reason that Il carried with It

line of business in which the holder
might be engaged.
In the course OF time the honorary
presentation Of the freedom OF the city
was settled and ordered only TO be in
the Gift OF the common co.nCfI. This
decree was issued on April s. 1885
Seven years later It was decreed that
all freenen must purchase their stocks
of merchandise from other freemen in
