Scope and Content Note
Estimates of blanks required were submitted for sixteen or seventeen month periods. They list the number of forms on hand and the number required, in various categories. Forms were submitted to the chief clerk (after 1848, to the Auditor) of the Canal Department. The series is an interesting early example of "forms management" and provides names and locations of superintendents of repair.
