The laws of 1898 (Chapter 363, Sec. 10) authorized the Board of Supervisors of each county 
to set the date for town elections between February 1 and May 1 of each year - as had been 
the practice - or to have them coincide with the general election in November.  I have not 
been able to find any survey of when this change took place in each county, and was 
informed that no such records exist in Albany.  
      Good luck with your search.
