1949 in Johannesburg

An unusual little book revealing an excerpt from Johannesburg in 1949

Johannesburg was 64 years old in 1949. The city was well organized and efficient operating out of the Johannesburg City Hall.

A small handbook published at the time, was literally a pocket filler. It was an annual Johannesburg City publication Vade-Mecum. The meaning of the word, Vade-Mecum, is the Latin expression "go with me". It is a small slender volume issued by the City Treasurer's Department and by 1949 was in its 19th edition. What a contrast to current glossy city reports and promotional books. I recently received a 156 page document with the glamour and glitz of promotional advertising, all the emphasis on colour and layout, all with the objective of marketing city properties for long term lease. In 1949 this little book was a no nonsense factual approach for the citizens and ratepayers of Johannesburg, to provide all the necessary information about the city's affairs and its finances. It's a concise ready reference about the activities of the City Council.

In 1949 the city treasurer was Dr I Q Holmes who managed a capital outlay of £52 million in a year when the population was estimated at 839 154. This little guide starts with the Abattoir and the Live stock Market and ends with the Zoological Gardens and covers almost everything the city was responsible for from A to Z. Did you know that in 1949 there were an estimated 2 664 animals and birds in the zoo? This handy guide tells you the acreage of every park in town and the capital outlay of each. In 1949 there was a Johannesburg City Orchestra giving 125 symphony concerts. The city had a rateable value of £217 million at that time.
