Scope and Content Note
This series consists of thirty-six bound volumes and one unbound volume of official orders issued by various predecessor departments,
divisions and bureaus of the present Department of Transportation. The bulk of the series consists of thirty-one volumes of
official orders of the New York State Commission of Highways. These orders date from May 2, 1913 through December 30, 1922,
and deal with the repair, maintenance and construction of county and state highways and bridges, appropriations, agreements

Commissioner of Canals and Waterways, dated March 22, 1927 to October 16, 1929, while the other volume (unbound) deals with
officials' orders regarding bridges. These orders, dating from January 12, 1929 to December 23, 1930, were issued by the Division
of Highways within the Department of Public Works.
