Scope and Content

This series appears to comprise the surviving portion of a City Attorney's Correspondence and Subject Files series. It includes complaints for violations of city ordinances (1954-1959), correspondence (1960-1971), and reference notes (undated). The series was created in order to document the activities of the Bingham Canyon City Attorney and to support the performance of his duties. The complaints show the names of the defendant and complainant, court in which filed, alleged crime (including ordinmance citation), and date of complaint. Correspondence in this series is primarily concerned with the gradual takeover of the land in Bingham Canyon by Kennecott Copper Corporation and related litigation. Reference notes include information gathered by the City Attorney on various points of the law, including notes which were likely collected by one of the city attornies for private practice.
