WAR RECORDS.
Our city has no record of the services rendered by its citizen soldiers and sailors in the late war. Such a record should, in my opinion, be prepared, and without further delay, as the longer the work is postponed the more difficult it will be to obtain the necessary information. I, therefore, recommend that early measures be taken to provide such a record.
