Volume 3, July 16, 1838 - May 15, 1839
Scope and Contents
Manuscript volumes recording receipts and expenditures of the First Municipality. The journals, cashbooks, and day books record receipts and expenditures on a daily basis, with indications of the accounts to be credited or debited as appropriate. In most cases there is enough detail provided to indicate the particulars of each transaction. The ledgers record the same receipts and expenditures in summary form (usually without detail) arranged by accounts. In at least some of the volumes there are cross references from one set of books to another. The miscellaneous record book includes some records of tax collections, of license collections, and of reimbursements for paving Bienville St.
