Routine correspondence about Board meetings\, schedules\, or agenda can also be found in the series. Supporting documents are often attached to the correspondence\, and these usually include court information reports and transcripts\, or newspaper clippings or petitions about a,particular case. Missing records include the files from 1923-1926 and from 1949-1981.",Permanent. Retain for 2 year(s),Public,6.00 cubic feet
