Scope and Content Note

The series contains four volumes and one bank passbook documenting accounts managed by the comptroller's New York City office.

A one-volume "journal" (1918-1928) includes handwritten entries accounting for transfer tax appropriations in New York, Bronx, and Kings counties (1918-1921); petty cash disbursements (1918-1920); communication charges (1919-1927); traveling expenses (1918-1919); contingency payments (1919-1921); office rents (1918-1928); printing costs (1918-1919); and general services or expenses (1919).

A one-volume "stamp record" (1914-1917) bearing the heading "stock transfer tax stamps" shows date; whether deposited or withdrawn; amount; and signature of witnesses.

Two volumes of cancelled checks (registers) apparently represent a petty cash account. The first is from the Irving National Bank (Woolworth Building), 1921-1923; the second is from the Irving Bank-Columbia Trust Company (Lincoln Office), 1923-1929. Most of the checks are paid "to cash" but some are made payable to individuals. Also included is a small passbook on account with the Irving National Bank showing five deposits made in 1921.
