SERIES: 83158
TITLE: Administrative correspondence files
DATES: 1906-1907; 1909.
ARRANGEMENT: alphabetical by name of letter writer

DESCRIPTION: These two letter boxes (since consolidated into a single, letter- size Hollinger document box) are alphabetical files primarily of incoming letters, but do include copies of some city treasurer's outgoing correspondence. The bulk of these are for the period 1906, 1907, and 1909. There are no letters for 1908. A small stack of reports and proof of publications are placed before the correspondence files. The reports are Monthly Reports of the City Court to the City Treasurer of fines collected by the criminal division. The correspondence concerns payment of special assessments (water, sewer, sidewalk extension). Some of the letters are complaints on the rates charged or on office procedures.

APPRAISAL

This retention is based on the historical value of these records. These letters reflect civic improvements and the concerns expressed by property owners in Salt Lake City of taxes levied for these improvements. Few letters have survived for this period and it is particularly rare to find letters to the city treasurer.
