Scope and Content Note

This series consists of one bound volume containing the certified copy of the bill revising the New York City charter that was transmitted to the mayor for approval and comment. In addition to the 1,165 page bill, the volume also includes Mayor Robert A. Van Wyck's thirty-eight page response explaining why the bill had not been accepted. This volume is fragile and researchers are advised to consult published versions of the New York State session laws for text of the act.
