A very early set of reports from all agencies and departments in the city of San Francisco for the year 1862-63. The city was still in a state of rapid growth in the years following the Gold Rush, with developments in the banking and railway industries leading to the Bay Area becoming a center for trade and business.
The earliest municipal reports we find mention of in OCLC are for the year 1859-60, and holdings are scant for these early volumes. Item #5528
