Series CRS-129 - Sewers roll

3.00 m of textual records

Series records assessments made and taxes charged and collected on sewer connections in the City under bylaws enacted to raise funds for extending the sewer system. The rolls were compiled by the City Engineer and filed in the office of the Treasurer for collection of taxes levied. See bylaws 284, 341, 400, 402, 424, 456, 516, 557, 592, 616, and 728.

Entries are arranged alphabetically by name of person assessed, and provide information on the number and kinds of buildings on a property, the kinds of sewer connections, the foot frontage of the property, and the relations between owners and occupants. Each page contains a list of abbreviations used for data entry. There is a gap in this series for 1905.
