Summary of Records

This series consists of a ledger documenting stray animals picked up by the city. The ledger was used to document which animals were taken in, the expenses involved in keeping and housing each animal, and to whom the animal was sold or claimed by. The ledger includes columns for recording such information as a description of the animal as well as any of its marks or brands, the sex of the animal, any damage caused by the animal, and the date when the animal was taken in. It also documents the expenses of keeping the animal, how much it was sold for, and any incidental expenses that were incurred. The record was kept intermittently, and the majority of the book is blank.
