Brown Series 38
|
Series: Clerk. Clerk's General File, 1853-1965 6.8 cubic feet (16 archives boxes and 1 flat box) : Records, primarily from the 1950s and 1960s, including resolutions, petitions, ordinances, orders, plat maps, agreements, assessments, reports of town officers, correspondence to and from state and county departments and private individuals, papers of various town departments, hearing transcripts, road surveys, tuition claims, and audit reports; all gathered by the clerk in performance of his duty and relating to a wide range of topics. Many documents deal with the town's attempt to change its status beginning in the 1940s when competing groups of citizens attempted either to incorporate Preble as a city or to join it to the neighboring city of Green Bay. Lack of a clear public consensus and legal intricacies hindered attempts at change until Preble and Green Bay consolidated in 1964. The materials in the series document the struggle both through official records and through petitions, letters, newspaper clippings, and pamphlets. Post-consolidation records deal with the referendum which sanctioned consolidation and with the means used to merge the services of the two communities. Arrangement: alphabetical by folder title.
