of trustees of the village was held in Worship Gray's office, August 15, 1892. T.C. Byland presided, A.M. Drew, C.J. Seaborg, Robert Given and J.H. Scott were the board members, with C.L. Townsend as clerk. On a motion by Dr. Drew, seconded by C.J. Seaborg, a committee was appointed to draft a municipal code for the government of the village of Weldon. Robert Given, T.C. Byland and J.M. Scott were appointed to draft this code. It was voted that the ordinance of Clinton be adopted as much as would pertain to the village of Weldon. The records show that T.C. Byland was paid $15.00 for writing it. Plans were soon made to build many board walks, also a town house, a prison or a calaboose. A calaboose was needed as there were three saloons at this time or soon after. The calaboose was built on a lot belonging to William Gray, purchased by the village for $25.00. Labor to build the building was $23.75. The lumber was hauled from Clinton, with horses.
