Under the 1836 Charter some officials served in a city-wide capacity while others held office within a single municipality government. C. Bayon, for example, was elected to be the Printer for the General Council, representing the city as a whole [1st image]. L. U. Gaiennie, on the other hand, wrote to the Third Municipality Council to express his interest in serving as the Attorney for that section of the city [2nd image].
