Lists of awards by the Board of Claims (predecessor to the Court of Claims) were filed with the Bureau of Canal Affairs in the Comptroller's Office. Each list gives: name of claimant; date of filing; claim; amount claimed; nature of claim; date; and amount of award. Each list covers a period of from a few days to several months. The Board of Claims was established by a law of 1883, succeeding the Office of Canal Appraisers.
