Dear Mr. Masschaele,

I forwarded your request some time ago to the Mayor of Halton Hills.  I
received no acknowledgement so I just sent another note to her.  Just
thought I'd let you know that I have forwarded your request.

I am archvist of the Esquesing Historical Society Archives in Georgetown.
Many names, but for your information, Esquesing township ended up with three
corporations: Esquesing, Acton and Georgetown.  In 1974 they were
amalgamated into the Town of Halton Hills.  The Town hired an archivist for
one summer to sort out their records just before the Freedom of infor act
came into effect.  They do hold records in the Civic Centre which are not
very accessible and are separate from the EHS Archives.

J. Mark Rowe,
Archivist.

Subject: records retention by-laws


Dear municipal colleagues:

I would like to acquire copies of records retention by-laws, particularly if
these have been crafted with archival input.  Such samples are of extreme
value to me.  I'd also be interested in acquiring examples of municipal
mandate and policy statements.  Thanks in advance!
