Scope and Content Note
The series consists of printed legal forms or typescript agreements between the state engineer and surveyor and individual or corporate owners to lease offices at various locations throughout the state. The majority of rental units are located in western New York, proximate to Rochester.
Documents list the conditions and parties to each lease. Leases are signed by the state engineer and surveyor, a deputy, or, in a few cases, a division engineer of the state canal system, and include an attestation by a notary public. Frederick Skene, Frank M. Williams, and John A. Bensel are some of the state engineer and surveyors who signed leases.
