May 6, 1889 - Mayor Gunn’s Inaugural Message to the Common Council

Our seventh Mayor writes an inaugural message to the Common Council also referencing the state of our City in this eleven-page valuation.  Mayor Gunn addresses topics such as the City Charter and the elections as well as taxpayers deemed as our shareholders, and we are to carry on for the “common advantage” in response to the growth of our City. Mayor Gunn also reflects on fiscal expenditures and the safe-keeping of the City Clerk records in a fire-proof vault in the Archives of the City.
