We feel that it will not be out of place to record an act of the Commissioners at a meeting of June 2, 1812, "ordering that each tavern of Jefferson Township should pay an annual license of $4." The same was ordered in 1813. An act of the Commissioners of 1847 was that each physician then practicing medicine in Jefferson Township should pay a license for such privilege to the amount of $3 for that year. The only physician we find in the township at that time was David Wilson, of Jefferson, who became subject to the established act.
