The City of Tacoma (Old Tacoma) effected its first organisation under the provisions of an Act ent'tled "An Act to provide for the incorporation of Towns," approved November 29, 1871. A petition was presented to the Board of County Commissioners of Pierce County May 21, 1874, and on the same day an election of five trustees was ordered for June 8, 1871. The five trustees elected at this time were Job Carr, A. Walters, J. W. Cham- bers, A. C. Campbell and S. C. Howes, who took the oath of office June 9, 1874, and on the same day organ- ized as a Board by the election of Job Carr as President. The first ordinance passed was approved June 13, 1874. The corporate limits of the town thus organized were as follows : Commencing* at the sw corner of sec. 31, tp 21 n, r 3 e; running* thence east along* the section line 100 chains; from thence north 80 chains to the section line between sections 29 and 32, thence east along* said line to Com- mencement Bay; thence northwest along said Bay to the point where the north and south line between-sections 25 and 30 intersects the Bay; thence south between sections 25 and 30, 36 and 31 to the place of beginning. On November 12, 1875, the Legislature passed a special act incorporating the City of Tacoma (Old Ta- coma) under the name of "The Inhabitants of the City of Tacoma." The Act went into effect at once, and the corporate limits of the City were as follows : Commencing* at the nw corner of section 31, tp 21 n, r 3 e; thence south on the west line of said section to the sw corner of the same; thence east on the south line of sections 31 and 32, tp 21 n, r 3 e, 400 rods; thence north 320 rods to the section line dividing sections 29 and 32 east and west; thence east along said line to half or mean tide on Commencement Bay; thence along the meander- ings of said Bay to the nw corner of Lot No. 1, sec. 30, CORPORATE HISTORY. tp 21 n, r 3 e; thence due south to the place of beginning-. The City government was vested in a board of five trustees who elected a President and Secretary. Under the provisions of this Act the officers of the former town organization held over until the election provided by the Act on the first Monday in May, 1870, was held. Under this Charter the City continued its corporate existence until it was consolidated with New Tacoma in 18-1. No reference in this Act is made to the ordinances passed by the town organization. The City of New Tacoma was also organized under the provlr-.-';, , of the Act of November 29, 1871. On the 2d day of Februarv, 1880, a petition was presented to the Board of County Commissioners of Pierce County and an order made on the same day incorporating the City under the name of "The Inhabitants of the Town of ' New Tacoma." An election of five trustees was or- dered for February 4, 1880, and duly held. On the 4th day of February, 1880, the trustees took their oath of office and organized by the election of Theodore Hosmer as President. The corporate limits of the town were as follows : Commencing at the intersection of Division Avenue with Tacoma Avenue; thence along said Tacoma Ave- nue to South 21st street; thence east through South 21st street to its intersection with A street; thence northerly along the east side of A street as originally laid out to South 15th street; thence northerly by A street to its intersection-with Cliff Avenue; thence along Cliff Ave- nue to its intersection with Pacific Avenue at a point marked A, as designated upon the plat accompanying said petition; thence from said point A along Pacific Avenue to a point as designated upon said plat as F; thence westerly to intersect Cliff Avenue; thence along Cliff Avenue to its -intersection with Division Avenue; thence westerly along -said Division Avenue to Tacoma Avenue, the place of beginning. On November 5, 1881, the Legislature passed a spe- cial Act entitled "An Act to confer a City government upon New Tacoma." The corporate limits of New Ta- coma were as follows : Commencing at the nw corner of sec. 5, tp 20 n, r 3 e; thence south along the west line of sections 5 and 8 in said township 480 rods to the sw corner of the nw i CORPORATE HISTORY. of said sec. 8; thence east 480 rods to the center of sec. 9, tp 20 n, r 3 e; thence north to half or mean tide on Com- mencement Bay; thence in a northwesterly direction along- the meandering-s of said Bay to the section line dividing- sections 29 and 32 in tp 21 n, r 3 e; thence west to the ne corner of the nw \ of the nw \ of sec. 32, tp 21 n, r. 3 e; thence south 320 rods to the Fifth Standard Parallel and thence west to the place of beg-inning-. The g-overnment was vested in a Mayor and Com- mon Council. . The first election under this Act was held May % 1882, and Theodore Hosmer was elected Mayor. This Act expressly continues in force all ordi- nances passed by the Common Council of the Town of New Tacoma, previously org-anized, in force when this Act took effect and not inconsistent therewith nor with the laws of the Territory. On November '8, 1883, the Legislature passed an act entitled, "An Act to consolidate the cities of Tacoma and New Tacoma under the name of Tacoma." This Act provided that on and after the first Monday of January, 1884, the city of Tacoma incorporated Novem- ber 12, 1875, and New Tacoma incorporated November 5, 1881, shall bt consolidated under one city g-overnment to be known as "Tacoma." The corporate limits of the consolidated Cities were as follows: Commencing- upon the shore line of Commencement Bay where it is intersected by the section line dividing- sections twenty-three (23) and twenty-four (24), in town- ship twenty-one (21) north, of rang-e two (2) east; and running- thence south- along section lines to southwest corner of section twenty-five (25), in said township; thence east to township line between rang-es two (2) and three (3) east; thence south and along- said township line to the southwest corner of section six (6), in town- ship twenty (20) north, of rang-e three (3) east; thence east along- section line on south boundary of .section six (6) to the southeast corner of said section six (6); thence south along- the section line between sections seven (7) and eig-ht (8) to the southwest corner of section eig-ht (8); thence east along- section line on south boundary of sections eig-ht (8), nine (9) and ten (10) to west boundary of said Puyallup Indian Reservation; thence northerly along- the west boundary of said Reservation to the north boundary of Pierce County; thence following- said CORPORATE HISTORY. boundary northwesterly to a point opposite and north of the point of beginning* on the shore line of Commence- ment Bay; thence south to the point of beginning-- including- sections twenty-four (24) and twenty-five (25) in township t\venty-one (21) north, of range two (2) east, sections twenty-nine (29), thirty (30), thirty-one (31), thirty-two (32), thirty-three (33) and thirty-four (34), in township twenty-one (21) north, of rang-e three (3) east, and sections four (4), five (5), six (6), eight (8), nine (9), and fractional sections three (3) and ten (10), in township twenty (20") north, of range three (3) east. (Charter of 1886.) The Act expressly c jntinued in force all ordinances passed by either of said City corporations, and all ordi- nances in fo**ce therein on January 1, 1884, not inconsist- ent with said acts nor the laws of the Territor} r . On February 4, 1886, the Legis ature passed an- other Act entitled, "An Act to incorporate the City of Tacoma and define the powers thereof." (See Charter of 1886.) March 24, 1890, the Legislature passed an act en- titled, "An Act to provide for the government of Cities having- a population of twenty thousand or more inhabi- tants, and declaring- an emergency to exist." Under the provisions of this Act Ordinance No. 316 was passed May 17, 1890, calling for an election of fifteen freehold- ers to frame a City Charter. The election was held on June 10, 1890, and the fifteen persons named in the cer- tificate attached to the Charter of 1890, published here- in, were elected. On August 22,- 1890, the committee reported a Charter. On October 18, 1890, an election was held at which the Charter was adopted and officers thereunder elected. The corporate limits of the City remained as described -in the Charter of 1886, supra.
