Immediate Source of Acquisition
These records, transferred to the City Archives in 1984-1985, are apparently all of the office files retained in the Commission office for the period since its establishment in 1937. The folders on Organizations and Oranmental ironwork are all that remained of the pre-1952 files.
Separated Materials
Numerous photographs and plans were removed from the original folders. They can be found in the Municipal Government Photograph Collection and Map Collection, respectively.
