that held It first election April 7. 1851, and selected 14 men as pilots, whose duty It was to launoh its ship safely on the long voy-sge with the port Greatness at Its end. How well the work was done caibe Judged Sfter the lapse of six decades; when the scattering community of 321 people has grown to a city of 210,000 people. The first municipal election In Portland was a quiet affair, the lone newspaper giving but a few lines of space to the account of the greatest event In the history of the town up to that time. People were ready for local government and they assumed Its responsibilities with no fuss.

No one dreamed of the possibilities of the enterprise which was being launched. Practically all of the men who had to do directly with the organization of Portland's ffovernment have passed on.
