Series Description
Letters, petitions, telegrams, reports, and memos addressed to individual Mayors. These records were left out of the HRS survey, because they were either discovered at a later date or were maintained separately. There is, however, no readily discernable difference in form or content between this material and that of similar date in the HRS grouping. Included are items from city agency chiefs and subordinates, congressmen, mayors from other municipalities, state government officials, attorneys, businessmen, concerned citizens, and others. Among the topics discussed are applications for and appointment to municipal offices, complaints, requests for information, charitable enterprises, letters of sympathy, and numerous other matters relating to the operation of municipal government.
