Scope and Content Note

These registers contain summary data on grade crossing elimination projects from start to finish. There is a separate sheet or sheets for each project, including the following data: Public Service Commission case number; names of participating municipalities and railroads; bonds issued (with interest rates); location of grade crossing; dates of Public Service Commission orders authorizing work; names of contractors' work covered by contracts, and amounts to be paid; complete record of payments, giving dates, amounts, and purposes; and distribution of costs (railroad, state, and county shares).

The project accounting sheet case numbers and those found in each of the seven volumes often overlap and it is unclear why.
