Descriptive Data

Archives Identifier00359Date Range1906-1921DescriptionThese two cash books relate to roads and other works, such as wharves, the Seatoun tunnel, etc. They do not appear to overlap in content with the general cash book, Series 00358. They overlap each other in date by about six months, but not in content - different revenue sources and payments are recorded. It is possible there was a prior roads and works cash book. Both pages 'Cash' and 'Contra' show the date of transaction, details including details of purpose of payments and names of businessses, organisations and individuals , a ledger page reference and amounts. The entries for cash receipts (revenue) are minimal - only a few per page from landowners subsidies, District Fund, loans, sale of debentures, sale of sand, tar, rails, etc. Payments that fill up the Contra pages, are for fees for engineers, lawyers, building constractors and others, for wages, for supplies of materials, timber, metal. track lighting, etc. The ledger page numbers refer to pages in Series 00359 ledgers but without any indication to which volume. The initials of the Audit Inspector, H A Lamb, appear annually through both volumes.Quantity (Linear Metres)0.11MediumBound VolumeSystem of ArrangementChronological over double page entriesCollection TypeWellington City Council
