Scope and Content Note

These volumes are expense books of the Division Engineer and Assistant Engineers of the Western Division's Rochester office. Monthly expenses for each employee are accounted for on the last calendar day of the month. Each expense statement includes name of employee and title, date of statement, date of each expense, description of each expense, and amount of each expense. Amounts are totaled on the right-hand side of the page. Often, the signature of the employee who approved the expense statement is found at the bottom of the page. Many of the statements are not legible due to fading of the ink.
