Address of the Mayor, to the City Council of Boston: January 7, 1839 (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address of the Mayor, to the City Council of Boston: January 7, 1839 The erection of a new City Hall is a business which has been referred to your consideration by the Council of last. Year, and which will claim much of your attention. Plans, models and estimates have been prepared, and the City is in possession of a piece of land which affords a very desirable, location for such a building. I cannot but urge the subject upon your attention at an early period, - as I esteem the erection of a City Hall a work of very pressing importance, -not for the accommodation of the city officers, but for that of the public, and for the safe keeping of important records and other documents.
