The records Of the city of Augusta
up to the last year, are unindexed and
anyone to find what he wants has tc
look over ages and pages of matter and
then, likely as not, never find what he
wants as it is easy enough to pass by
a matter. The books are all there but
the originals are scattered in many
places and many have been lost. The
records of marriages are very incom-
,plete, and at best, only the mems
names are given. The names of births
are wholly omitted from the records.
The system of indexing for periods of
10 years, as was adopted some years
ago at the Kennebec registrar of deed
office and since copied by many others,
is most satisfactory one. Those who
have had occasion to look up matters,
trust that some day the city will have
them indeXed as described. The city
clerk for the past year has indexed all
orders which will be of great value in
time to come.
