City Hall

City government touches almost every aspect of our lives. Most of us are unaware of or take for granted these necessary services such as police, fire, sanitation, veterans affairs, elder support, parks, licensing of various professional activities, keeping records of birth, marriage and death, as well as hundreds of other activities that support residents and visitors. The film shows the efforts by Boston city government to provide these services and illustrates the variety of ways the city administration enters into civil discourse with its citizens.
