Synopsis
Excerpt from Historical Notes on the Bradford Corporation: With Records of the Lighting and Watching Commissioners and Board of Highway Surveyors The publication of this volume seemed to be called for because the matter which it contains has not hitherto been accessible in a permanent form. Bradford has passed through such marvellous stages of development that the history of its governing body is of great importance; hence my desire to place the main outlines of that history upon record. In no sense, however, can this effort be regarded as exhaustive; the endeavour has been to present an epitome of corporate work rather than an elaborated history. The information I am enabled to give has been compiled from various sources. The books of the Corporation, comprising the early records handed over by the Lighting and Watching Commissioners and the Board of Highway Surveyors, have been placed at my disposal by Mr. McGowen, the Town Clerk. The Municipal Year Book, originated and for some years compiled by the late Alderman Joseph Farrar, has supplied some information, and I have had the privilege of making use of Corporation documents left by him. It may be that in dealing with so many facts and figures inaccuracies have crept in, but no pains have been spared to avoid them. I may add, that in order to preserve some degree of continuity where it appeared desirable to conclude the narrative of any particular event, it has been necessary to depart occasionally from strict chronological arrangement.

Specifically, the book follows the evolution of the town's Lighting and Watching Commissioners and the Highway Surveyors who managed the streets, the first stirrings of civil society in the town.
