1684

The Mayor's Manor has been expanded, and the grounds are being upgraded.

Mayor’s Report: Governor Dongan, an avowed Catholic and soldier for France in their earlier war against the Dutch, summoned a representative assembly of all the settlements of New York. A Charter of Liberties was passed into law. It decrees that the supreme legislative power under the Duke of York shall reside in a governor, council, and the people convened in general assembly; confers upon the members of the assembly rights and privileges making them a body coequal to and independent of the British Parliament; establishes town, county, and general courts of justice; solemnly proclaims the right of religious liberty; and passes acts enunciating certain constitutional liberties, such as taxes can be levied only by the people met in general assembly; right of suffrage; and no martial law or quartering of the soldiers without the consent of the inhabitants. This is an incredible development for the province and for our town. This should lead to more growth and trade opportunities. Food reserves are exceptionally strong, yet the amount of iron and tools available remains a concern. My seat as mayor is up for election this year, and while no one has yet announced they will run against me, I don’t expect I will win again without a fight. Laver Foure’s seat is also up for election.
