The Subject/Mardi Gras series includes information on city government's involvement in the annual Carnival festivities. Materials on Police Dept. procedures, the Mardi Gras Coordinating Committee, and parade permits are especially interesting. Also included are files on requests for tickets for the city's reviewing stands. These documents provide useful data on the relative numbers of visitors, and their places of origin, for the years represented. Other materials, such as those dealing with the selection of the Gallier Hall master of ceremonies, door lists, and complimentary tickets are more interesting for what they reveal about internal political relationships within city government and within the Morial political "family."
