It was foundedby James Prendergast in whose honorit was named in 1815 It was incorporated as a village in 1827 and as acity in 1886. It is the largest city inN e w York state west of Buffalo containing a population of about 25,000.From its earliest history it has beenan active manufacturing and commercial center and has the advantage ofbeing situated in the center of one ofthe principal agricultural and dairyingsections of N e w York state. It has

MISCELLANEOUS DIRECTORY,groivn rapidly in population and commercial importance within the past 30years. In 1870 its population was5,337; in 1880 it was 9,350; in 1890 itJaad increased to 16,038, and in 1892,w h e n the last state census was taken,it was 18,627.Jamestown is justly called the Cityof Homes, a larger percentage of itsresidents owning their homes than canbe found in any other city in the state.The municipality owns a large andcompletely equipped electric light plant which not only provides street lightsfor all parts of the city, but furnishesincandescent lights for its publicbuildings and for business houses atremarkably low rates. It has justcompleted a sewer system which extends along nearly every street in thecity, and its principal business streetsare paved with shale brick of excellentquality which are manufactured withinthe corporate limits. In addition to amagnificent high school building it has11 excellent district branch schools,ami its educational system is regarded as a model among the educatorsof the state. There are 19 churchesand several chapels within the city,where religious services are held regularly.There are about 175 manufacturingestablishments in the city, the outputconsisting largely of woolen and worsted goods, furniture of m a n y kinds,and boots and shoes. The estimatedvalue of theproduct of itsmanufactories is placed at 10,000,000 annually, a large percentage of which is paid out forlabor. Its banking facilities are of thebest, thefinancialinterests of its people being taken care of by one national bank, two trust companies andone state bank. There has never been abank failure in the city.Jamestown is served by three greatrailway systems. The Erie railwayruns through the heart of the city; theJamestown & Chautauqua railwayreaches into the manufacturing section, giving connection with the D. A.V. & P., a part of the great Vanderbiltrailway system, at Falconer, and withthe Lake Shore & Michigan Southernlines at Brocton in connection withthe W . N. Y. & P. railway at Mayville. The Terminal Railway company,a strictly local concern, organized for"the purpose of promoting the businessinterests of Jamestown, will soon be'built through the manufacturing section of the city, running so close to'm a n y of the leading manufacturingplants as to make the carting of freight!unnecessary. This road will connectwith all three of the systems abovementioned.As a residence city Jamestown iswithout a rival. Being located at theextreme southeastern end of Chautauqua lake, concededly the most attractive body of water in the United States,its people come in touch with all pointsof interest along the lake, which arereached by steamboat, trolley andsteam cars. The healthfulness of thecity is proverbial, m a n y people cominghere from different parts of the worldon account of the delightful climateand exhilarating atmosphere. Itsfree public library, its perfectly appointed hospital, its m a n y religiousand social organizations, all lend theirinfluence toward giving it an attractiveness and a charm that can be foundnowhere else.E L E C T I V E CITY OFFICERS.Mayor—Henry H.
