Village Hall Was Erected in 1865-- | Wiliam Mudie Was Reeve of the! Village for Many Years, Portsmouth having come into the limelight (hfough the Frontenac County Council choosing Reeve Hal fiday as Warden, Councillor Michael Kennedy, the village oracle, has been perusing the old minute book of the council, and permitted the Whig a glimpse into the glorious past of this suburb of Kingston, known to many as Hatter"s Bay, but marked upon the map as Portsmouth, the home of the provincial penitentiary | and the provincial asylum for the in- sane. A perusal of the old minute | book, which covers the council meet- | ing from the time Portsmouth was incorporated as a village in 268) until 1875, makes very interesting reading. ! The first council meeting that | year was on the 17th of January oul which day George Sexton was elected | reeve. The council meetings were | held in the house of Major Cralg, and $17 rental was paid for that year. | On the 31st January the council! considered a petition from the! guards and keepers of the peniten- tiary asking to be exempted from be- ing taxed for their salaries. The petition was nol granted | The tavern keepers, at the same meeting, asked that owing to the hard times. the council reduce their] license fee to $20. No action was | taken on this request. In 1859 | there were six taverns, or public | places of entertainment as they wero | called. The license fee for 1859! was fixed at $35, exclusive 'of the Government fee. In 1862, the fee; was raised to $45 The minutes of 23rd Feb, 1859, contain the thanks of the council to Hon. Henry Smith, father of Col. H R. Smith and C. F. Smith, for his gift of the corporate seal of office for Portsmouth, and also for advice and assistance in preparing the by- laws of incorporation whereby the privileges of self-government were conferred upon the village. On Feb, 25th, 1859, the council ! decided to pay Treasurer McLeod two per cent. on all moneys paid in- to his hands, At this meeting the council decided that all evening ses | sions should adjourn at ten o'clock, | a practice, it is understood, that is| still carried out by the village dy. | The council at a later meeting in the year resolved to pass a by-law | prohibiting any person: bathing or/ swimming within the corporation be-| tween 6 a. m. and 8 p. m | The minutes of Oct. 3 rd, show that the council decided to levy! five cents on the dollar for village and county purposes. | On Jan, 16th, William Mudie, the grandfather of W. Balfour Mudie, Gananoque, formerly of Kingston, was elected reeve and held that posi- tion for nearly twenty years. Twenty dollars was paid for the use of Major Craig's house for council | meetings that year. The number | of tavern licenses issued for "1860 was five, a decrease of one. On the 3rd of May, 1860, the | Council thanked Hon. Alexander | Campbell for procuring the patent of | | the breakwater site, containing two | and a half acres in all. It is to ba noted that in 1863, Portsmouth Had a fire engine, (more than it has to-Way), and that the en- gine was rented for one dollar a day On 16th Sept., 1863, the council thanked the lookout party of H. M 47th Regiment stationed in the vil- lage for its vigilaht and praisewor- thy <onduct in giving an alarm of fire to Mr. Saunders early that morn- ing and saving the lives of the fam- "ily. A by-law was passed on the 17th Jung, 1864, authorizing the reeve to borrow $1,000 to erect a village Ji The vote of 'the people resul for, 61; against, 27. The by-lav was finally passed on the 20th July ani plans for the hall, drawn by Mr. ! Coverdale, were laid on the table by : the reeve. i On the 1859, | } 31st Mugust, 1864, Robert | Fisher was given the contract to erect the hall for $1,495. The council held its first meeting in the | new hall on the 15th January, 1866.
