"To bring together the records of the past and to
house them in buildings where they will be preserved for
the use of men living in the future, a nation must believe
in three things. It must believe in the past. It must be-
lieve in the future. It must, above all, believe in the
capacity of its people so to learn from the past that they
can gain in judgment for the creation of the future."
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
PREFACE
The Historical Records Survey was initiated by the Works
Progress Administratiom - - later the Work Projects Administration
on a nation-wide basis in January 1936, under the direction of
Dr. Luther H. Evans. In 1938, a separate unit was established
for the eight Southern California counties, and the follow-
ing year the Survey became known as the Southern California Historical
Records Survey.
In 1942, when all activities of the Work Projects Administration
were redirected to meet the needs for an all-out war program, the
Southern Californie Historical Records Survey was suspended.
Of the activities then in progress by the Survey, those deemed most
important were turned over to the Writing Services Phase of the
War Services Section, for completion. The volume herewith presented
was one of those activities. This work was sponsored by the
Executive Department and Department of Education of the State of
California, and co-sponsored by the County of Los Angeles.
The Historical Records Survey has proved itself of invaluable
aid to local and county governments. Its purpose was to locate,
describe, and classify all existing county records, and to make
them more easily accessible to county officials, the public, and
historians. It was planned that an inventory be made of the archives
in each county, to be published with regularly documented text
explanations of the government functions and operations, including
information concerning the housing and care of records; however,
the enormous quantity and complexity of the Los Angeles County
records necessitated publication of a separate volume for each county
office. This is the fourth volume of this series.
The work of the Survey has not been limited to county records,
for in the field of manuscripts, imprints, and church records, there
have been compiled and published calendars, lists, and inventories
of these materials for the distribution to libraries, historical
associations, and similar institutions.
The surveying of the records and the compilation of this volume
were begun, as previously stated, by the Southern California Historical
Records Survey, under the direction of Edgar L. McRae, State Super-
visor, and Jacob G. Bragin, his successor, and continued by the
Friting Services Phase of the Far Services Section, under the
supervision of Harold T. Fells. Upon the suspension of the Survey
and the Writing Services Phase, the County of Los Angeles took
- VI -
over the work of completion of this volume under the supervision
of J. F. Moroney, County Clerk, with the assistance of the Editor.
Without the cooperation of the County Board of Supervisors,
the Chief Administrative officer and their staffs, this volume
would not have been possible. Recognition is also due to
R. F. Gragg, chief deputy county clerk, J. F. Rice, chief of the
civil division, Ruth Luskin, secretary to the county clerk
and other members of the county clerk's staff who have been of
great help towards completion of this volume.

Exact titles of records are written in solid capitals without
parentheses. In the absence of titles, descriptive titles have been
assigned, which are written in solid caps and enclosed in parentheses.
If a record title is not descriptive of the contents of the record, an
assigned explanatory title (or explanatory words), written with initial
caps and enclosed in parentheses, has been added. The current or most
recent title of a record is used as the entry title and title variation
is indicated.

1. COUNTY CLERK
Establishment of Office
The Constitution of the State of Califomia was formed by the
delegates of the people assembled in convention in 1849.1 Provision
was made for the legislature to establish a system of county and town
governments throughout the State. 2
123+
Evolution of Structural Organization
Based upon this constitutional provision, the office of the county
clerk was established in California in 1850 by an act providing for the
first county election.3 B. D. Wilson, the first clerk for Los Angeles.
County, was elected on April 1, 1850.4 At that time, the county clerk
was also ex officio clerk of the District Court, the Court of Sessions,
and the Probate Court of the county.5
(First entry, p. 49)
At the present day, the county clerk holds three offices. He is
county clerk, ex officio clerk of the superior court, and ex officio
clerk of the board of supervisors. In this capacity, he administers
directly only to two of these offices, those of county clerk and clerk.
of the superior court; as clerk of the board of supervisors, he func-
tions through a chief clerk.whom he appoints and who, with a staff of
deputies, is under the direct supervision of the board of supervisors.

Qualifications
No mention is made in the California constitution of 1849 of the
qualifications of a county officer with the exception that he must be a
citizen of the State.7 The Political Code of 1872 required that no per-.
son could be eligible for the office of county clerk unless he was an
elector of the district he represented, 8 and, at the time of his elec-
tion or appointment, 21 years of rge.9 At a later date, an additional
clause provided that he must be an elector of the county in which the
duties of the office are to be exercised.10

The statutes of 1850 provided for the election of county clerks to
be chosen by the qualified electors of their respective counties and to.
hold office for 2 years! These elections were called "county elections."
In 1893, an act was passed calling for the election of the clerk to be
held at the general election and providing that the term of office be
4 years.2
Oath of Office
孽
​By a legislative act in 1911, counties were allowed to frame char-
ters for their own government.3 The board of supervisors adopted an or-
dinance providing for the election of a board of 15 freeholders for the
purpose of preparing a charter for the County of Los Angeles.4 With the
adoption of the charter in 1913, the status of the county clerk was
changed from an elective officer to an appointive one, 5 to be appointed
by the board of supervisors from a list of candidates examined and cer-
tified by the civil service commission.6 He holds office until the com-
mission by him of any act disqualifying him, or until his resignation,
retirement or death.7

The Constitution of 1849 provided that all county officers, before
entering upon their duties, must take an oath to support the Constitution
of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California.8
The legislature, in 1850, provided that the oath must be endorsed on the
certificate of election of the officer, signed by him, and certified by
the officer before whom it has been taken; 9 and that the oath must be
filed within 10 days after receiving his certificate.10 In 1911, the
time was changed from 10 to 30 days after notice of election or appoint-
ment, or before the expiration of 15 days from the commencement of the
term of office. 11 The county clerk must file a copy, signed with his
+
own signature, in the office of the Secretary of State.12 No fee can be
charged by any officer for administering or certifying the oath of office. 13

County Clerk Evolution of
Structural Organization
Official Bond
An act of 1850 provides that the county clerk must post official
bond conditioned upon the faithful performance of the duties of his
office. For any wrongful act or omission of any duty imposed on him
by law, he is liable on his bond to any person injured.2 If he know-
ingly and wilfully performs any act contrary to the duties of his office
or wilfully fails to perform any duty required of him by law, he is
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and besides the liability on his bond,
is subject to a fine of $2,000.3
By the same act, the official bond of the county clerk had to be
approved by the county judge and filed and recorded in the office of the
county recorder.4 The bond was joint and several, and made payable to
the State of California5 for the use and benefit of the State and all
persons injured or aggrieved.6
Whenever the sureties on the official bond moved outside the State,
became insolvent, or the penalty of such bond became insufficient, the
clerk was summoned to appear before the county judge to show cause why
ho should not execute an additional official bond. Upon failure to
post a new bond, his office was deemed vacant.8 In 1850, the official
bond of the clerk of Los Angeles County was fixed at $12,000.9
(First entry, p. 49)
Some of the foregoing provisions were later changed by various
legislative acts. The time for filing the bond was changed to that
prescribed for filing the oath, 10 and the official bond of the county
clerk, after being recorded, must now be filed in the office of the
county treasurer.11

8 Ibid. ch. 21, sec. 17, p. 76.
Ibid. ch. 110, sec. 2, p. 261.
An act of 1855 permitted the board of supervisors to require new
bonds of any county officer with additional securities, 12 and gave them
the power to prescribe the amount of the official bonds.13 This power
was affirmed by an act in 1907 which also provided for the approval of

•
Every officer or employee who is not required by statute to give
an official bond may be required to give an individual official bond.
Such bond may be a master official bond with a schedule attached, con-
taining the name of the officer or employee and the amount of the bond.
The term of coverage shall not exceed one year. 3 At the present date,
the bond of the county clerk is fixed at $25,000.4
2
Compensation
By the constitution of 1849, each county shall make provision for
the support of its own officers, subject to legislative restrictions.5
The county clerk, in 1850, acted as ex officio clerk of the District
Court, the Court of Sessions, and the Probate Court of his county. 6
No provision was made to compensate him for his services, except through
the fee system established by the Supreme Court.7
>
The Court of Sessions allowed the county clerk $6.00 a day during
the time he was actually employed. $ In 1852, he was designated as ex
officio clerk of the board of supervisors, 9 receiving compensation from
the board. This was in no case to exceed $500 a year.10 At a later
date, acting as clerk both of the board of canvassers and the board of
equalization, he received for each day's attendance on these boards,
besides his regular compensation, the sum of $6.00 a day.11 In 1855,
the law provided that his compensation shall be $4.00 a day for each
day actually engaged in the service of the board .12
By an act of 1864, passed for the purpose of reducing expenses and
paying off the floating debt of Los Angeles County, the salary of the
county clerk was set at $1800 a year, beginning March, 1865.13

County Clerk Evolution of
Structural Organization
(First entry, p. 49)
In 1868, the county clerk also became ex officio recorder and
auditor as well as clerk of the board of supervisors, 1 his salary being
fixed at $3,500.2 The legislature, in 1870, reduced his compensation
while acting as clerk of the board to $250 a year, although he was al-
lowed to retain certain minor fees such as those for issuing bridge and
ferry licenses, and for the copy of records or certificates.3
later act the same year, his compensation as clerk of the courts and
county recorder was fixed at $1590.4 It was increased in 1878 to $3,000
a year for all services rendered; 5 and again in 1883 to $13,000;6 but
was decreased in 1891 to $3,600 a year.7
In 1911, Los Angeles county was classified as a county of the first
class, and the clerk's salary was fixed at $3,600 a year. 8 In 1913, the
charter empowered the board of supervisors to provide, by ordinance, for
the compensation of the clerk.9 The present salary of the clerk ranges
from $6,000 to $7,200 per year under the five-step rate of compensation
plan.
10
Various fee bills have been adopted since the establishment of the
county clerk's office, 11 and numerous changes made in regard to the fees
for filing various instruments. In 1907, the legislature provided for
a uniform system of fees for services performed by the office. 12 All
fees were directed to be paid into the county treasury and set apart as
a separate fund known as the "salary fund," to be applied in the pay-
ment of salaries.13
Pag
During the year of 1941-42, the work of the office was performed by
the county clerk and 256 deputies at a total expenditure of $484,456.96.
Of this amount, $455,654.94 was for salaries and wages, 2,481.09 for
maintenance and operation, and $26,320.93 for capital outlay. Revenues
collected by the department amounted to $411,598.23.14

Manner of Removal and Filling Vacancy
The statutes of 1850 provided that an office may become vacant for
any of the following reasons: The death or resignation of the incum-
bent; his removal from office; his refusal or neglect to take the oath
of office or to give the required official bond; his ceasing to be a
resident of the State, district, or county in which the duties of his
office are to be exercised; the decision of atribunal declaring the
election or appointment void; end failure to clect at the proper
election.1
Whenever a vacancy occurred in the office of the county clerk, it
was the duty of the county judge to order an election to fill the office.
The judge had power to appoint a person to perform the duties of the
clerk until the election or until the person chosen at the election was
qualified.< This duty was later transferred to the board of super-
visors.3 With the adoption of the Political Code, the board could fill
a vacancy only upon the receipt of a petition signed by at least 30
qualified electors of the county.4
In 1863, two provisions were added to the act of 1850, causing an
office to become vacant--the confirmed insanity of the incumbent; and
the incumbent's ceasing to discharge the duties of his office for 3 con-
secutive months, except when prevented by sickness or absonce from the
State upon leave, as provided by law. 5 These acts were incorporated in
the Political Code of 1872.6
The statutes of 1853 provided that any official, his deputy or
clerk holding office in the State, who charges other or larger fees for
his services than those imposed by law, or refuses to perform any of-
ficial act in the manner prescribed by law, shall be deprived of office.8
1
The filing of an official bond subscribed by 2 sureties must be
approved. If one of the sureties has died, moved from the State, or
become insolvent or incompetent, it is the duty of the approving officer
to issue a citation to the incumbent in office to show cause why such
office shall not be vrcated.9 Any person appointed to fill a vacancy
must give a bond corresponding in form and substance to that required of
the officer originally elected or appointed.10

County Clerk - Evolution of

Whenever an officer is removed, declared insane, or convicted of a
felony, or his election or appointment declared void, the officer before
whom the proceedings were held must give notice to the officers empowered
to fill the vacancy.
1 The power to fill vacancies by appointment was
given to the board of supervisors.2 The latter, upon receiving a certi-
fied copy of the record of conviction of any officer for accepting ille-
gal fees, must declare his office vacant.3
(First entry, p. 49)
An accusation in writing against any county officer for willful or
corrupt misconduct in office may be presented by the grand jury of the
county in which the accused officer is elected or appointed.4 An action
may be brought by the attorney-general, upon his own information or upon
the complaint of a private party, against any person who usurps or un-
lawfully holds or exercises any public office.5 If the defendant is
found guilty, judgment must be rendered excluding him from office.6
Prohibitions against County Clerk and other Officers
No county officer must be appointed or act as a deputy of another
officer of the same county, except in cases where the pay of the officer
so appointed amounts to a sum less than $150 per month, or unless he
serves without compensation.
Z
Absence from the State for more than 60 days is prohibited, unless
such absence is for the purpose of transacting business of the State,
provided that upon a proper showing of illness, the board of supervisors
may extend the time. 8
No county officer shall be interested in any contract made by him
in his official capacity, but he may contract for an allowance for mile-
age rates in the performance of his duty.9
No county officers can be purchasers at any sale, nor vendors at
any purchase made by them in their official capacity.10

GANG
All county officers and their deupties or clerks are prohibited
from purchasing, selling, or receiving for their own benefit, any
State, county or city warrants, scrip, orders, demands, claims, or other
evidences of indebtedness against the State.1
Except for his own official services, a county officer is pro-
hibited from presenting any claim or demand for allowance against the
county or advocating relief demanded by another.2
No county officer shall perform any official services unless upon
the prescribed payment of fees, with the following exceptions: proceed-
ings upon habeas corpus; appointing a guardian for an indigent; filing
documents or performing services on behalf of the State, county, or city;
recording discharges for soldiers, sailors or marines; making affidavits
to recover public funds; taking the oath of a person endeavoring to ob-
tain aid; or recording abstracts of judgments in favor of the United
States.3
(First entry, p. 49)
The county clerk is prohibited from practicing law in any of the
courts of the State; neither can he act as agent nor solicitor in the
prosecution of any claim or application for lands, pensions, patent
rights, or other proceedings.4 He and his deputies or clerks are also
prohibited from performing the duties of a notary public.5
Appointment of Deputies and Clerks
The statutes of 1850 made provision for county clerks to appoint
one or more deputies, granting them the same power in all respects as
their principal. The appointment must be in writing, signed by the
clerk, end filed in the office of the recorder.6 The clerk was also
granted the power to revoke, in writing, the appointment of any deputy.
Each deupty is required to give bond with sureties, but the county
clerk and the sureties on his official bond are held liable for all the
official acts of the deputy.9 The latter also is required to take oath
of office which is endorsed upon his appointment.10

The county charter provides that the clerk shell appoint his
deputies from the civil service list.1
Administration of Office
The constitution of 1879 provided that all existing courts, save
justices' end police courts, be abolished, 2 and that there be established
the Supreme Court, the District Court of Apperls, and the Superior Court.3
Based upon this provision, the legislature authorized the county clerk
to appoint deputies and assistant clerks for the superior courts of his
county.4
(First entry, p. 49)
The main office of the county clerk is on the fifth floor of the
Hall of Records in the Civic Center of Los Angeles..
Under the low, he is required to maintain branch offices in the
cities of Long Beach, Pasadena, Pomona, and Santa Monica.5 The county
clerk's office in Long Beach opened July 13, 1926;6 Pasadena Division
opened Aug. 18, 1931;7 the clerk's office of Pomona Division opened
Sept. 16, 1935;8 and the office of Santa Monica Division opened Aug. 27,
1937.9 Actions Pre filed in these branch offices in duplicate, the
originals being kept in the main office in Los Angeles. A daily messen-
ger service is maintained to transport original files, exhibits, and
10
records when they are required to be produced in court.
The office of the county clerk must be kept open daily for the
transaction of business between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.; and
on Saturdays until noon, Sundays and holidays excepted.11
Every citizen has the right to inspect or request a copy of any
public writing, except as otherwise expressly provided by statute.12
Records may not, however, be removed from the offices where they are
kept, except upon order of the court, and only in such cases where it is
shown that inspection of the record is essential to the just determina-
tion of a cause or proceeding.13 The county clerk performs his duties

:
Of the divisions enumerated, the two civil divisions and the
criminal, probate, and psychopathic divisions may be called the court
divisions, since it is through these that the county clerk functions as
clerk of the superior court. In such capacity, he keeps its records and
seal; issues process; enters judgments, orders and decrees; keeps a docket
in which is entered the title of each cause with the date of its com-
mencement; and keeps a memorandum of every subsequent proceeding with a
list of the fees charged.2
A great many so-called "wartime" functions have been added to his
office since Dec. 7, 1941. Some are answering inquiries from draft
boards and defense industries, handling military affidavits before entry
of judgments, examining and certifying data for persons desiring to ob-
tain birth certificates from foreign states, issuing Federal explosives
licenses, handling and storing Federal rationing books with accompanying
data, and filing petitions for the change of names and for the esta-
blishment of birth in this State..

Ex officio Duties
By an act regulating elections in the State of California in 1850,
it became the duty of the county clerk to draw up a statement of the
result of the estimate of votes cast in the county.1 Within 20 days
after the election, he delivered a certificate of election to the per-
son chosen.2
Whenever returns were required to be transmitted by one
county clerk to another, it was his duty to deliver the returns to the
postmaster, filing a certificate setting forth the time when they were
deposited.3 Various duties pertaining to elections were assigned to
the county clerk, until the adoption of the county charter in 1913, which
provided that the board of supervisors appoint a registrar of voters.4

Los Angeles County must fumish to the registrar of voters, before the
first of September of each year, a statement taken from the records of
the court having jurisdiction in cases of infamous crimes and the em-

County Clerk - Functions and Records
In 1852, the county clerk began his duties as ex officio clerk of
the board of supervisors.1 All books, records, and accounts of the
board were kept in his office. 2 The board of supervisors also acted as
a board of canvassers, and all returns of the election for supervisors
were canvassed and declared by the county judge, county clerk, and
sheriff acting as a board.3
At that time, the board of supervisors constituted the board of
appeals for the equalization of taxes, 4 and the county clerk was ex
officio clerk of that board. 5
Licenses and Certificates
The official bonds of all county officers must be filed in the
office of the county clerk.6
All affidavits for the justification of bail must be filed by the
judge or magistrate with the county clerk. The latter must keep a list
of the names of all persons whose affidavits have been filed, showing
the number of times within a year that such persons have executed
affidavits.7
A certified list of the persons selected to serve as trial jurors
must be filed with the clerk of the superior courts and with the county
clerk. It is the duty of the latter to furnish any person a copy of the
list of jurors upon payment of a fee.9
Firemen who have served 5 years may be exempt from military or jury
duty by having the county clerk issue an "exempt certificate" over his
official seal and signature. 10
Every person holding a certificate authorizing him to practice medi-
cine or surgery must have it recorded in the office of the county clerk,
and the fact of such recording with the date endorsed on the certificate
by the clerk.11 Every such person, on each change of residence, must
have his certificate recorded in the county to which he has changed his
residence.12 All revocations of certificates by the board of medical

examiners must be filed, and the clerk must write the date of revoca-
tion upon the margin or across the face of his register of the certi-
ficates.1
This act was amended in 1937, and provided that every person hold-
ing a certificate authorizing him to practice any' system of treating
the sick must have such certificate registered in the office of the
county clerk. The register must show (a) the name of the person to
whom the certificate is issued, (b) the form of the certificate, (c) the
scope of practice permitted thereunder, (d) the number and date of the
certificate (e) the date of registration.3
There are 4 forms of certificates issued for the medical profession
which must be filed with the county clerk. These are certificates (1)
to use drugs upon human beings, (2) to treat diseases without the use of
drugs, (3) to practice chiropody, (4) to practice midwifery.4
An act of 1903 provided that all persons licensed to practice den-
tistry must register with the county clerk who must transmit a copy of
such registration to the secretary of the board of dental examiners.5
All suspensions or reinstatement of licenses shall be noted by the clerk
on the margin of the registration.6 It is the duty of the secretary of
the board to send to the county clerk a certified list of all practicing.
dentists who have paid their fees to be entered in the register of den-
tists.7

Taxation
!
By an act of 1850, the legislature provided for the levy of a poll
1
tax upon all male inhabitants between the ages of 21 and 50 years.
The provisions of the various acts pertaining to poll taxes were later
incorporated in the Political Code of 1872,2 replealed in 1917,3 and re-
enacted again in 1921.4 Every alien male inhabitant over 21 and under..
60 years of age was required to pay a poll tax of $10 annually.5 It
was the duty of the county clerk or registrar of voters to register such
persons within his county.6 The entire ect, plus all the duties of the
clerk pertaining to the poll tax, was declared unconstitutional.7
The county assessor, as soon as the assessments on property are
completed, must deliver to the clerk of the board of supervisors the
assessment book, map-books, statements, and military roll so that the
8
time may be set by the board for the equalization of assessments.
Whenever the board of supervisors determines that an appraisal or re-
appraisal is necessary, the clerk of the board certifies the determina-
tion to the state board of equalization.9
(First entry, p. 49)
The Political Code of 1872 provided that all delinquent tax lists
must be published and filed with affidavits by the tax collector in the
office of the county clerk.10
Personal income tax judgments must be filed by the commissioner.
through a certificate specifying the amount of the tax, the penalty and
interest due, and the name and last known address of the taxpayer liable.
The clerk must enter judgment against the taxpayer in a book entitled
"Personal Income Tax Judgments."11 Entry of judgments applying to the
retail sales tax is made in a book entitled "Special Judgments for State
Retail Sales or Use Tax. "12

and interest due, and the name and address of the manufacturer or im-
porter, whereupon the clerk must enter judgment in a book titled
"Special Judgments for State Excise Tax."1
An act to establish a tax on inheritances, bequests, and devises
was enacted in 1893, making it mandatory upon the superior court to
determine the value of the estate. The person in actual possession of
the property must file a bond in the county clerk's office, plus a veri-
fied return of such property.2 In order to fix the value of the property,,
the superior court must appoint an appraiser who files his appraisal with
the clerk of the court.3 All transcripts of decrees must be docketed and
filed with the county clerk.4 The latter must make a statement every

lieves a tax is due and unpaid.5 The clerk of the court must keep a
book in which he enters the returns of the appraisers, the cash velue of
annuities, life estates, and taxes assessed thereon.6 Any person, upon
payment of 50 cents, is entitled to a receipt for the payment of the tax,
and may record it with the clerk in the county in which the property is
situated.7
The above act was amended on numerous occasions, repealed in 1935,
and reenacted in the same year.8 All objections to the report of ap-
praisers must be filed with the clerk who must set the time for a hear-
ing.9 The clerk of the court, upon request of the State controller,
must furnish a transcript of the decree which shall be docketed and filed
in the county clerk's office. 10
Miscellaneous Duties
Since the establishment of his office in 1850, the duties of the
county clerk have been numerous and often changed. In addition to those
outlined, many duties were delegated to him at various times by legis-
lative acts. A summary is given below:
1850. The courts of second and third instance were declared to be
superseded to the courts of first instance who were given juris-
diction in appeals, and the county clerk was made clerk of these

The statutes of 1850 provided that all records of deeds, mort-
gages, powers of attorney, and other instruments kept by the
Alcalde, judge of first instance, notary or other officer should
be delivered to the county clerk.3 The latter was required to
keep a book in which he entered, by items, every kind of service
rendered, for whom and for what purpose it was performed, and the
amount allowed.4 He was also required to submit a quarterly
statement under oath of all fees, percentages, or compensation
received or remaining unpaid/5 This law was changed in 1864 pro-
viding that the county clerk must keep a fee book in which he
entered all fees, commissions or compensation earned by him or
his deputies showing the name of the payer and the nature of the
service performed.6
1853 All publications of official and legal notices, with affidavits,
must be filed with the county clerk.8 It is his duty to dis-

On or before the tenth of July of each year the county clerk
files with the county auditor an itemized estimate showing
both the revenues, which will accure to his department and all
expenditures required by it for the current fiscal year as
well as the last completed year.1 The county auditor prepares
a tabulation as follows:
(1) Salaries and wages; (2) maintenance and operation; (3) capi-
tal outlay; (4) interest and debt redemption; (5) expenditures
proposed to be made from bonds or other income not yet author-
ized.2 This is submitted to the board of supervisors who may
direct any revision thus completing the "preliminary county
budget." Following publication that the budget has been pre-
pared and after a hearing, the final budget is adopted.3
All applications for the change of names of persons or corpora-
tions must be made to the superior court. The county clerk,
within 30 days from the date on which the decree is entered by
the court, must file a certified copy of the decree with the
Secretary of State.4
The county clerk must keep all books, papers, and records per-
taining to his office, and as clerk of the board of supervisors
and the superior court, must attend each session, issue all
process and notices, enter all orders, decrees and judgments,
and keep a superior court docket.5
The superior court judge made and signed all statements, certi-
ficates and affidavits for the relief of inhabitants of cities
and towns upon public lands.6 When a vacancy occurred in the
office of the judge during the pendency of the proceedings, up-
on the election or appointment of a successor, the county clerk
filed with the county recorder a certificate showing the facts
and the name of such successor.

A candidate for election to an office, who commits any offense
punishable by imprisonment in the state prison, is excluded
from the right of suffrage, and it is the duty of the county
clerk to transmit a certified copy of the record of conviction

Public administrators were required to render an accounting to
the clerk upon the settlement and adjustment of their accounts
relating to the care and disbursement of money and property

and file a notice in the office of the county clerk.5
It is the duty of all county officers including the supervisors,

HOUSING, CARE AND ACCESSIBILITY OF RECORDS
Laws prescribing the duties of the county clerk require the main-
tenance of voluminous and extensive records not only of his office as
such, but also in his capacity as ex officio clerk of the superior court.
Since the razing of the old county courthouse, the court records.
are housed in the Hall of Records, Hall of Justice, Los Angeles
City Hall, Agricultural Building, 524 North Spring Street, and in the
Spring and Second Streets Building.
Duplicates of original documents pertinent to the business of
the branch division of the clerk's office and the court are housed
in municipal and private buildings in the cities of Long Beach,
Pasadena, Pomona, and Santa Monica; originals of these records are
kept in the county clerk's depositories in Los Angeles.
-
Records Kept in the Hall of Records
The Hall of Records, 220 North Broadway, is a 12 story fire-
proof building of structural steel and brick, and faced with white-
enameled brick end terra cotta. There are four entrances to this
building the main entrance at 220 North Broadway, a rear entrance
entrance on Spring Street, and two side entrances from the south on
Court Street (an alleyway), and from the north at the second story level
approached from the knoll on which the old courthouse stood.
de
Five elevators serve the needs of the public, and a tunnel
connects this building with the Hall of Justice; this tunnel is not
generally used by the public.
Records of the county clerk's office are housed in several
rooms of the Hall of Records -- the main office of the county clerk,
and the administration, accounting and civil divisions are located
in room 500, (which has also a mezzanine floor built-in on the upper
half of this room, where some of the records and exhibits of the
civil division are located); the marriage license bureau is on the
first floor, room 103; the corporation and probate divisions are in
rocm 303; the records of superior court department 1 are in room
802; and the civil jury records are in room 818.
Room 103
:
Room 103, houses the office and records of the marriage license
division; and is entered from the corridor leading from the Broadway
entrance. Dimensions of this room are 37 2/3 x 23 2/3 x 9 1/6 feet.
Here are several hundred volumes placed on wooden shelving.
There are also over 100 cubic feet of filing space. Room for the
records is adequate, their care is good, and they are not subject
to any hazards. Photostatic copies of marriage record cards, bound
in volume-binders, are provided for public use, also several volumes

confidential records of health tests given applicants for marriage
licenses; Statutes forbid public inspection of these records, and are
therefore not open to the public.
Room 303
Room 303 houses the corporation and probate divisions.
The corporation division occupies less than fifteen percent of
the floor space, and approximately about ninety percent of the records
of this division are housed in this location; the balance of the
records of this division are housed in other locations as shown in the
record entries. Care of the records is good, and although they are
crowded, they are not exposed to hazards and are readily accessible.
There is also available space for public use.
The probate division occupies the balance of floor space. About
fifty percent of the records of this division are housed in this room,
and the balance is housed in various other locations as shown in the
record entries. Care of the records is good, they are not subject
to hazards, and fairly accessible to the office force. Accommodations
for public use are also available.
Room 500 and Mezzanine (Room 600)
Room 500 houses the main office of the County Clerk, and the
Administration, Accounting and Civil divisions; this room has also a
Mezzanine floor, where some of the records and exhibits of the civil
division are located. Approximately twenty five percent of the records
of these divisions are kept here, the balance is housed in other
locations as shown in the record entries.
Care of the records is good, and although they are very crowded,
they are not exposed to hazards, and accessibility is fairly good. Both,
room 500 and the Mezzanine (room 600) have small space available for
public use.

Records Kept in the Hall of Justice
The Hall of Justice stands on the northeast corner of Broadway
and Temple Streets. The main entrance is on Temple Street, with
side entrances on Broadway and Spring Streets. The building, a
fifteen story structure of reinforced concrete faced with stone and
granite, is fire and burglar-proof, and is considered safe from earth-
quake destruction. A tunnel links this building with the Hall of
Records. There is ample elevator service for the needs of the public.
•
Records of the County Clerk's office in the Hall of Justice are
chiefly those of the criminal division. The office of the criminal
division is in Room 606, which also houses juvenile department records.
Room 606 is used for storing court interpreter's records; Room 829
for criminal Jury records; two basement storage rooms for criminal
and juvenile department records; Room 164 and a basement storage
room for medical practitioners' records kept by the corporation
division, and basement Room 29 for the County Clerk's fee books kept
by the accounting division.
Basement Room 29
1
Room 164
(First entry, p. 49)
The oldest County Clerk's fee books, kept by the Accounting
division, are housed in this room..
In this room are kept about twenty percent of the corporation
division's medical license records, the balance are stored in a
basement room directly under the health department offices. The records
are easily accessible, and a counter, table and chairs are placed for
public use.
Room 606
The main office and records of the criminal division are housed
in this room; the division includes the juvenile Court department.
About seventy percent of the division's records are kept here; the
balance is housed in rooms 606, 329 and in basement rooms, and in
other locations as shown in record entries.
Housing and shelving for the records in room 606 is inadequate;
many records which need be referred to from time to time are housed
in the basement and crowding of filing spaces reduces office efficiency.
Care of the records is good and there are no hazards, notwithstanding
excessive crowding. Opposite the entrance to room 606 there are
counters for public convenience in consulting records. Criminal records
only are shown; Juvenile department records are not open to public
inspection. ·

Room 829
(First entry, p. 49)
Criminal Jury records are kept in this room. About seventy-five
percent of these records are kept here, the balance are stored in the
basement storage room for criminal division records. All records are
easily accessible, but are not open to public inspection.
Storage Room for Juvenile Records
On the east-side of the Hall of Justice basement is a storage
room for Juvenile court records; it is opposite the foot of the stairway
and near the Spring Street entrance. Storage space is inadequate and only
about ten percent of the Juvenile records are kept here, the balance
are in room 606. Care of the records is fair. Since many individual
records are needed in the office for consultation from time to time,
it is a handicap to have them placed in the basement. Juvenile records
are not open to public inspection.
Storage Room for Criminal Division Records
The basement storage room for the criminal division records is
adjacent to the Juvenile record storage room. About twenty percent of
the records are kept here. The records are crowded and dusty, but they
are protected by being filed in steel drawers, wooden shelves with
sliding doors or wraped in bundles. Access to the records is not
easy, and since this room is not open to the public, messengers have
to bring up the records at requests for public inspection.
Storage Room Under Health Department Offices
In this storage room are kept some of the medical license records
of the corporation division, the balance are in room 164. The records
are not easily accessible, ventilation is poor, and furnishings
inadequate. These records are not open to public inspection.
Records Kept in Los Angeles City Hall
The Los Angeles City Hall, a twenty-eight story building con-
sidered fire and earthquake proof, stand on spacious ground bounded by
Spring, First, Main and Temple Streets. There are entrances from each
of these streets, but the main entrance is approached through an arcaded
forecourt facing Spring Street.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors rents space in the
City Hall for the use of the superior court, county clerk and other
purposes. The county clerk's court divisions are in the following

records of this division, and the balance of the records are housed
in room 1602 (across the hall). Care of the records is good, and
accessibility is easy, although more space is needed for records in
room 1605. There is also available space for the use of the public.
Rooms 1707 and 1708
(First entry, p. 49)
These rooms are occupied by the probate commissioner's office and
house a small group of records of the probate division. General care
of the records is good, and they are readily accessible. There is
space available for public convenience.

Records Kept in the Spring and Second Streets Building
This building is located on the northeast corner of Spring and
Second Streets, and the entrance is at 129 West Second Street. The
building is fireproof. The seventh floor and basement storage space is
rented by the county, and are occupied by the psychopathic division
of the county clerk's office.

These rooms are occupied by the financial investigation bureau
where the office and the records are housed. Ample filing space for
the records is available, and accessibility is good. These records

The probation department of the psychopathic division and its
records are housed in these rooms. The records are not subject to
any hazardous conditions, they are not crowded and are easily accessible.
Accommodation for public use is fairly adequate.

and in the basement of this building.
The rooms where the records are housed are well ventilated and
the records are easily accessible.
Pasadena
(First entry, p. 49)
In order to extend the services of the county clerk to large
population centers at distances from the county seat, branch offices
have been established in several towns of the county. Most of the
branch offices give full services in all of the divisions of the
county clerk's office except the appellate and psychopathic divisions.
Records kept at the branch offices are duplicates of the originals.
Every original record is sent to Los Angeles to be filed among the
records of the division to whose services it pertains. The county
clerk has branch offices in the following cities:
Long Beach
The Long Beach branch of the county clerk's office is room 915
of the Jergins Trust Building, 100-120 East Ocean Boulevard. All
duplicate copies of records are kept here, and are readily accessible.
A counter is provided for public use.

Housing, Care, and Accessibility
of the Records
(First entry, p. 49)
Summary
When
It is difficult to house and care for records which must be
divided between various kinds of depositories and in several buildings.
The temporary character of the storage of the county clerk's records
also restricts proper provision for their care and arrangement.
the records of the clerk will necessarily be moved to different
quarters, and it is to be hoped that permanent housing for them will be
provided under one roof and in depositories so similar in construction,
size, shape and furnishings that they may be put into some more logical
system of arrangement and made more easily accessible to the office
personnel and to the public.
Conditions shown earlier in this essay by a room-for-room analysis
tell the story of general overcrowding and inconvenient placement of the
records of this vitally important office. Although the records themselves
are generally in satisfactory condition and bear evidence of the best
care possible under the circumstances, some depositories, are dusty,
some poorly ventilated and badly lighted, and others exposed to dampness.
The county clerk, in his annual report for the fiscal year 1940-41,
shows that his office recognizes the dangers to which its records are
exposed and the inconvenient manner in which they are kept: "the
greatest effectiveness and economy of operation are not possible under
the (present) arrangement. These conditions are confusing, and result
in considerable loss of time and motion on the part of the court, the
clerk's office, and the citizen.

NOTE
SINCE THE SURVEYING OF THE RECORDS, A GREAT
NUMBER OF DOCUMENTS AND CONTAINERS HAVE BEEN
ADDED TO THE RECORDS, AND VARIOUS FILES HAVE
BEEN TRANSFERRED FROM ONE LOCATION TO ANOTHER,
THEREFORE, SOME VARIATIONS IN LOCATION, DATES,
AND CONTAINERS SHOULD BE EXPECTED.
I.
The chief function of this division is the coordination of the
activities of all the divisions. It is through this division that
the county clerk issues administrative orders and maintains his
control. The division handles administrative matters which are common
to the whole organization as a single unit, such as records pertaining
to the personnel of the offices; efficiency ratings; oaths of office
of county officers and assistants; complete departmental and court
statistics; preparation and control of the salaries and wages, main-
tenance, operation, and capital outlay budgets; records of the purchase
of equipment and supplies; property and inventory records; the receipt
and distribution of departmental mail; and the giving of general
information to the public.

rationing forms and books, the issuance of Federal explosives licenses,
and the certification of proofs of birth.

IV. MARRIAGE LICENSE DIVISION
It is the function of this division to receive and file applications
for marriage licenses. If no legal objection exists, licenses are
issued after the expiration of 3 days from the date of application.
administration of this division demands that the clerks exercise dis-
cretion and tact and be able to distinguish races and detect those who,
because of youth or race, are not entitled to obtain a license to marry.
The
Servicemen and defense workers find it difficult to comply with
the California 3-day law. In cases where one cannot appear, a special
form is furnished permitting the applicant to sign the notice of
intention before a notary, or ather officials authorized to administer
oaths.1
The first act regulating marriages in California was passed by the
legislature in 1850.2 It was the duty of every person having authority
to join others in marriage to transmit a certificate of marriage to the
county recorder. 3 With the adoption of the Civil Code in 1872, it
became mandatory for all persons about to be joined in marriage to
obtain a license from the county clerk.4 They must also obtain
from the county clerk a certificate of registry, which must be filled
out in his presence and filed with the county recorder by the person
performing the ceremony.5
In 1939, an act was added to the Civil Code providing that any
applicant, before obtaining a marriage license, must file with the

county clerk a certificate from a duly licensed physician, showing
that the applicant has been examined and given a standard
serological test.1 It must be accompained by a statement from the
person making the test, setting forth the name of the test, the
date on which it was made, the name and address of the physician,
and the name and address of the person whose blood was tested. 2
These statements are not open to public inspection.
***
Any judge of the superior court is empowered, on joint appli-
cation of both parties to a marriage, to waive the requirements as
to medical examinations and laboratory tests and make an order to
that effect 3which, with the certificate and forms, must be filed
in the office of the county clerk.4
The marriage license division is located on the first floor of
the Hall of Records, and functions through a division chief
who receives a salary under the five-step rate of compensation plan,
ranging from $155 to $186 per month, 5 and posts a bond of $1,000.6

The records of this division are kept in the Hall of Records

Under the law, the county clerk is required to maintain branch
offices in Long Beach, Pasadena, Santa Monica, and Pomona, in which
cities there are branch departments of the superior court. These
branch offices offer a complete service including the issuance of
marriage licenses.
...
The filing of actions in the branch offices is in duplicate, the
original being kept in the main office at Los Angeles.. Inasmuch ⠀
as the original file only may be used at court hearings, daily
messenger service is maintained. between the main office and the
branches at Long Beach, Pasadena, and Santa Monica for the trans-
porting of files, exhibits, and other records necessary in actions.
on the daily calendar. Court is held, generally, only once a week
in Pomona, at which time a court clerk is supplied from the main

General civil proceedings, land registration matters, and
various domestic relations cases are handled in the civil depart-
ments of the superior court, and all records pertaining to the above
matters are in the custody of the civil divisions of the county
clerk's office.
madam
Originally one civil division of the county clerk's office has
discharged all duties. The tremendous volume, scope and complexity
of the work has necessitated the creation of two separate divisions,
and so to facilitate the work, in 1940, the following two divisions
civil filing and court clerk division - civil judgment and copying
division -- have been set up, each under the supervision of a
division chief.

This division handles the filing of all civil actions and
proceedings; applications for Torrens Land Titles; the issuance of
summonses and writs of attachment; the entry of proceedings in the
register of actions; and the storage and safekeeping of all çivil
files, exhibits, depositions, and similar records including older
records of the administration, accounting, marriage license and probate
divisions, and some of the older criminal records. In addition,
until recently all records of adaption proceedings were handled by this
division. It also has charge of the assignment of court clerks to
the various civil departments of the superior court.
CIVIL DIVISIONS
The division is located on the fifth floor of the Hall of
Records, and functions through a division chief who receives a
salary under the five-step rate of compensation plan, ranging from $240
to $288 a month,2 and posts a. bond of $2,500.3
Civil Judgment & Copying Division
This division handles the copying and entry, and has custody

VIII. PROBATE DIVISION
Through this division the county clerk discharges his duties as
clerk of the probate court. These duties are largely statutory and
involve the filing, preparation and custody of all records relating
to the estates of decedents, minors, incompetents and missing persons.
Some of the special duties are: To appoint a time for the hearing by
- 158 -
Probate Division
}
the court; to mail notice of such hearing to all heirs-at-law
or devisees under the will of deceased, as prescribed by law;
to post and publish notices of hearings; to issue "letters"
to executors, administrators, guardians and trustees, certifying
to their appointment and qualification, upon the approval and
filing of bonds as required by law and the order of the court;
to prepare forms of special certificates, exemplified records for
ancillary proceedings in other states, and transcripts on appeal.
All orders or decrees of the probate court must be entered
at length in the minute book or else signed by the judge and filed.
Then any order effecting title to real property is made, a certified
copy must be recorded in the office of the recorder of the county in
which the land or any part of it lies.
:i
The most highly specialized work of the probate division is
the preparation and entering of record the numerous diversified
probate orders and decrees of the court.
In Los Angeles County the clerk of the probate court pre-
pares all probate orders and decrees of the court; in other
counties of the State, decrees of distribution and most of the
other probate decrees are prepared by attorneys for the signature
of the judge.1 This therefore adds considerably to the volume
of work of the probate division of the Los Angeles county clerk's
office.

IX. PSYCHOPATHIC DIVISION
Through this division the county clerk functions as clerk of the
psychopathic department of the superior court.
Applications for insanity warrants are received here. Complaints
are heard by a specially trained deputy who is familiar with the symp-
toms constituting insanity. If the patient is considered insane, the
deputy prepares an affidavit for the applicant, upon which a warrant is
issued by the court. Cases of alcohol and drug addicts, feeble-minded
and epileptic persons and sexual psychopaths are handled in a similar
manner.1
Prior to 1942, hearings have been held two days a week, but due to
additional burdens placed upon this division, the number of days for
hearings has been increased to three a week. 2
(Next entry 571, p. 180)
The duties of the clerk are varied. He prepares arraignments, sets
hearings, enters dismissals, judgments, verdicts and jury disagreements,
and the granting and revocation of probations, He enters all commitments
to state hospitals of insane, intemperate or feeble-minded persons,
drug addicts and sexual psychopaths, and receives petitions for restor-
ation and habeas corpus proceedings.3.
→
A 1912 law, applying to the mentally sick and persons bordering on
insanity but not dangerously insane, authorized boards of supervisors to
create the office of psychopathic probation officer; the officers and
deputies were to be nominated and appointed by judges of the superior
court, by written orders to be entered in the minutes. Before any men-
tally sick or insane person was brought before the court, the clerk was
to notify one of the probation officers, who then was obliged to inquire
into the family history of the person and report on it to the court,
verbally or in writing. The court has the power to commit patients
into the care and custody of a probation officer. In such cases the
patients remain in their own homes, in a rest home, or in a sanitarium.4
The psychopathic division of the county clerk's office is located
on the seventh floor of the Second and Spring Streets Building. It is

X. APPELLATE DIVISION
With the establishment of an appellate department of the super-
ior court on September 10, 1929, a corresponding division was set up
in the county clerk's office.
All appellate papers, petitions for rehearing, continuances, dis-
missals, .judgments, orders, decisions, opinions, motions, and mis-
cellaneous petitions pertaining to appeals are filed and kept there. Many
of the clerical duties performed in the handling of appeals are similar
to those performed by clerks of the district court of appeal and the
supreme court.1 Jurisdiction of the appellate division extends to cases
of appeal from municipal and justices courts, on questions of law only.2
The division is adjacent to the courtroom and chambers of the court
on the sixteenth floor of the City Hall. It is headed by a division
chief who receives a salary under the five-step rate of compensation plan,
ranging from $205 to $246 per month, 3 and posts a bond of $1,000.
All records of this division are kept in rooms 1602 and 1605 of
the City Hall unless otherwise indicated,

The jury division of the county clerk's office was established in
1940. Prior to that time, the clerk's office assigned jurors, This
now is the function of the jury commissioner's office, The only duties
of the county clerk's office in connection with jurors at the present
time are the keeping of records of the division and the assignment of
clerical help.

XI, JURY DIVISION
??
In January and July of each year it is the duty of the judges of
the superior court to make an order designating the estimated number
of trial jurors that will be required during the ensuing year. Imme-
diately after the order is made, the judges select a list of men and
women to serve as trial jurors.1 In Los Angeles County, where sessions
of the court are held in districts within the county other than the
county seat, the judge presiding in each judicial district makes the
order and selects the list from men and women living in the district.2
The jury commissioner assists the judges in the selection of persons.3
1
A certified list of persons selected.. as jurors must be filed with
the clerk of the court.4 On receiving such list, the clerk must write
down the names on separate pieces of paper, and deposit the names of
those selected to serve on the 'grand: jury in a box called the "grand-
jury box," and the names of persons selected to serve as trial jurors,
in a box called the "trial-jury box."5 From these boxes the names of
persons to be called to form a jury are drawn.6
Whenever the business of the court requires the attendance of a
trial jury, the court makes an order directing that the jury be drawn, 7
and immediately the clerk, in the presence of the court, proceeds to
draw names from trial-jury box. A record of the drawing must be
entered in the minutes of the court. Upon completion of the drawing,

In 1938, the judges of the superior court in Los Angeles County
published a book of uniform instructions for trial juries serving on
civil cases, 2 The book, the first of its kind to appear, was published
in collaboration with committees of the Los Angeles Bar Association
and the Lawyers' Club, and has been in use since that time. A second
edition was published in 1941 Forms printed on loose sheets; numbered
to correspond with the page numbers of the book, are kept in the custody
of the trial clerks for actual court use. The judges of the superior
court also plan to issue a corresponding book of uniform instructions
covering criminal cases.
