Scope and Content Note
The series consists of bills sent for payment to the State Fire Marshal, with some transmittal correspondence for checks paid to vendors for accounts rendered. Bills are from companies ranging from the Argus Company to J. Wolfendale, typically for expenses such as office supplies and stationery; newspapers; printing, telephone, messenger, and delivery services; office equipment (typewriter) repair; and firefighting equipment, apparently purchased for testing purposes. Most of the bills are date stamped as received by the State Fire Marshal, and some have an amount approved and signed by Fire Marshal Thomas J. Ahearn.
