Opinons of the Baltimore City Solicitor, 1903-1968  

Images from reels of  Baltimore City Security Microfilm Collection

The first  31 volumes of opinions  through 1931 are indexed by topic in

An Index to the Opinions of the City Solicitor of the City of Baltimore, 1903-1931 (3 vols. Charles Pielert and Horace Flack, compilers) and are to be found on the following reels of security microfilm.  Until 1911 the indexing referred to sequential paragraphs on the typescript page called marginal numbering.  Case file numbers are to be found on the typescript pages until 1926, and beginning again in 1938, but not in the printed indexes.  The starting case file number in each ebook volume is noted here in bold type.  Not all cases handled by the Law Department involved a Solicitor's opinion, but the range of case numbers where given in the Opinions  provides a rough indicator of the business of the office and a rough chronological index to the case files themselves which were continuously numbered..
