Mayor's Instructions

Description

Unique IDAS-0887Start dateBetween 1st January 1890 and 1st January 1891Start date qualifiercircaFormatVolume - HardcoverDescriptionThis volume contains a series of instructions from Mayor Sydney Burdekin to the Town Clerk.

They record the date of the instruction, the instruction, who it was referred to, remarks, and when it was dealt with. Some of the instructions are quite short, others run to several pages. The series finished when Burdekin was replaced as Mayor by Sir William Patrick Manning.

The instructions deal with various matters including the duties of officers, moneys borrowed, arrangements for Council meetings, unsafe buildings, the censure of officers (this relates to a dispute between the City Surveyor Richards and the City Architect George McRae), garbage, the employment of temporary staff, and fruit markets.

The instruction for the 10 January refers to this series. It specifies that in order that the Mayor's instructions be not lost sight of in the pressure of daily work, the instructions were to be kept and registered in two books, one to be retained by the Town Clerk, and the other to be "constantly upon the Mayor's table". It appears that the volume in this series was the one retained by the Town Clerk.
