These records document payment to State Engineer and Surveyor employees for the differential between their military pay and their state salaries. Most of the records are monthly payrolls providing: name; state title; military rank; monthly state salary; monthly military pay; amount due from state; and governor's approval number. There are also a few additional items in the series, including lists of dates on which employees went on the military payroll or returned to work, and a table which apparently lists rates of compensation due at various salary levels.
