Each entry gives date, name of property owner, type of material used in paving, location, measurement of street frontage, the cost of the paving, and the amount to be reimbursed to the property owner. Some records also give the date that the work was performed and others give the date that the Surveyor certified the line and level of the sidewalk. Volume 1 (1836-1841) is indexed by street name. Volumes 3 and 4 (1844-1852) are made up of printed forms with manuscript entries. There are some gaps in the series, as well as some overlap.
