thorities, given to them by the act of assembly passed November
session seventeen hundred and ninety-seven, chapter twenty-eight,
and the several supplements thereto, in as full and ample a manner
as if they had regularly from time to time made their elections un-
der the provisions of said act and its several supplements; Provid-
ed always, that the first, election for commissioners be held on the
