Miscellaneous Financial Records

Description

Unique IDAS-0041Start date1st April 1881End date31st December 1924FormatVolume - Leather BoundDescriptionThis series is made up of five individual volumes, which are financial in origin and format, but are unrelated to the other series and to each other. Thus they have been grouped together under the title miscellaneous.

WASTE BOOK 1 April 1881 - 15 June 1883
A waste book is used to enter all transactions at the moment they occur and later they may be placed into a more formal set of books. The entries are arranged in chronological order and are recorded as a single page entry. The information is recorded in columns under the following headings: number, name, city, water streets, water, sewerage. The amount of expenditure is added at the end of each day. The entries are recorded daily. (Item 41/3)

CITY BUILDING SURVEYOR'S DEPARTMENT SPECIAL APPLICATION FEES - 1888 - 1924.
This volume records special application fees made under Section 17 of the City of Sydney Improvement Act 1879. Special applications were made when a proposed building or addition was not strictly speaking allowed under the Act, but which could be allowed by a reasonable modification of the rules. The volume records the application number (a single running number from 1888 to 1924); applicant's name and address; folio number; amount; when paid; and initials. Most of the applicants appear to be architectural firms. The volume also notes arrears (money still owed) which are listed after the fees for the given year. It does not record the address of the proposed works.(Item 41/6)

CREDIT BOOK 29 February 1892 - 31 December 1901
Entries arranged by ward and then by date. The record is done on a yearly basis and is an analysis of unpaid city rates for a given year. The page is divided into two, the Credits and the Outstanding City Rates. The last entry for the year is signed and the Credits and Outstanding Rates are totalled. The Outstanding City Rates are noted at the end of the volume. (Item 41/7)
