Wellington City Council and Wellington Board of Works Ledgers
Descriptive Data
Archives Identifier00209Date Range1867-1907DescriptionThis series contains ledgers of payments and revenue for the Board of Works (first volume only) and Wellington City Council. There are three volumes, possibly one missing as there is a gap between later 1875 and early 1878. However the last volume has '3' on the spine. It appears that over this period the financial year changed from July-June to April-31 March. The ledger entries cover both annual revenue and expenditure, wages and salaries, annual and by ward rates, and monthly or quarterly accounts over the whole range of works, goods and supplies, and services, including loan accounts. Some entries include names of those paid as staff, and for goods and services. Indexes at front of volumes 1 and 2 only, by subjects and some names of officials, e.g. Inspector of Nuisances.Quantity (Linear Metres)1.75MediumBound VolumeSystem of ArrangementBy account name (not alphabetical), with many entries carried over to later pages. v.1 used up to p. 269Collection TypeWellington City Council
