PRESERVATION OF THE CITY's EARLY
RECORDS
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Allow suggest that one OF the nrSt
acts Of the reform administration should be the
preservation. by printing, of the early records
OF the Common Council OF the city, and The pro-
viding n suitable room where they can be con-
suited These records. according to the custodian $
statement now comprise SIX or seven volumes
In the Dutch language. and about seventy-hve in
English, covering the period from the city's set
Element to 1891 after which year they began to be
printed. These volumes are stored In four large
safes in a narrow. stuffy little room in the south
east corner of the City Hall. They are under the
immediate care of the Clerk of the Board or Al
dermen but in order to consult them one must
seek out the City Clerk in another corner OF the
building and get permit from him. Then they
must be consulted in the stuny little room with
its one window and desk, and nusty tomblke
atmosphere. The volumes. many of them, are IN
very bad condition The covers are of, leaves
loose and some perhaps missing; II not
they will. be. unless steps are taken TO
preserve them one OF the first acts OF the new
regime should be to appoint a commission OF
scholars and conveyancers. under whose direction
these invaluable records should be transcribed,
edited. indexed and printed. Then they should
be made available for research. Surely New orK,
the metropolis. Is well able TO provide decent
accOmmoda tons in this respect as are the thou
