SEE ALSO 52538, 52541, 52588, 52598, 52604 Senate No. 8 After a revolt by the Marshpee, a new form of government was put in place with a single Commissioner from outside and all other governing positions held by the Marshpee. Documents relating to the Marshpee District, December 1834. The Commissioner of the District of Marshpee had made a settlement with the former overseers of the plantation, which is in the last pages of the report. The Treasurer's report showed bills for the Commissioner's services, mostly for surveying, and there were payments for wood and taxes soon to come. There had been a meeting to create a voters list and then a formal meeting to choose selectmen and a clerk of the district. Regulations for fishing and woodland use were put in place and marshland was allotted. The Commissioner spent most of his time trying to ascertain correct property lines so there could be a permanent record of those. School teachers were in place and alcohol sales were nearly under control. Relations with the neighbors were very good.
