The City Club of New York has is
sued two small pamphlets which are
useful to New Workers and suggestive
to residents of other cities. One is a
brief index to the city charter, the
other brief summary, in chronology
cal order, of the various events pre-
scribed by the charter to occur during
the year. It thus comprises list of
the official acts of the whole city gov
eminent, and from it one can learn the
precise duties of any and all officials.
The ordinary citizen often realizes his
ignorance Of the local government, and
his consequent inability either to fulfill
his civic duties properly or to derive all
the benefit he might from the operation
of the government. These little pam
phlets are designed to meet his need.
