Complaint Book, 1856-1859
Scope and Contents
Manuscript messages left for the Mayor (and for the Street Commissioner, in some cases) by citizens complaining of various undesirable conditions. Many of the complaints are accompanied by notes showing how they were handled, or at least noting to whom they were referred for correction (usually the Street Commissioner). Most of the complaints deal with street obstructions, unsanitary conditions, and disrepair of area buildings.
