Petitions to the attorney general to restrict access to defense installations
Series Number
A4288
Summary
This series contains petitions and supporting materials from defense installations to the War Council (and its predecessor, the Council of Defense) requesting that certain streets adjacent to the defense facilities be closed to public access, or that signs be posted restricting access to areas surrounding facilities. Factories involved in supplying war materials requested the limits in order to prevent monitoring of shipments and deliveries, while other facilities such as water and power plants sought to protect themselves from sabotage.
