Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 7., Susanna Rowson. (search)
First, the Moderator, as a matter of necessity, was chosen; then the Town Clerk; next the Selectmen, and, by vote, the polls were kept open for twenty minutes. Then the Assessors, School Committee, etc., were elected. All were chosen by a majority vote, as the law required, hence several ballotings were necessary when the candidates failed to reach it. The first balloting for School Committee secured five of the seven. The second secured one more. On the third there was no choice. On the fourth the seventh man was elected. The sixth man then declined to serve and the balloting was renewed. The fifth, sixth and seventh resulted in no choice. The eighth was successful. For three Fish Wardens four ballotings were required. Some men did not seem anxious for office and declined to serve when chosen. It took three ballotings to secure three Overseers of the Poor, and two to obtain a Pound Keeper. Ten Field Drivers were chosen and assigned to that number of sections in the town.
