Passing on as rapidly as may be, we come first to the chartering of the Bank of Louisville. The books were opened for subscription to this bank in March, 1833, and closed on the third day, $1,500,000 having been subscribed in that brief period. By the act of incorporation the capital was fixed at $2,000,000, but the commissioners were allowed to close the books at any time after $500,000 were subscribed. Each director was required to take oath not to permit any violation of this charter.
The next event in order was another amendment to the city charter, which provides that no street or alley can be laid out without consent of Council--that a jury shall assess what damages shall be awarded, and what paid by persons injured or benefitted by opening streets or alleys--that it shall not be necessary for the Council to have alphabetical lists of the voters made out, except for the tax collectors and judges of the election--that those only shall be eligible to office who are house-keepers or free-holders and have paid taxes the preceding year in the city of Louisville--that the removal of a councilman from the ward in which he was elected shall cause his office to be vacant, and that any vacancy occurring either in this way or by resignation shall be sup-plied by the Council out of the said ward.
