Description
Description available at other catalogue level
Arrangement

Until 1947, the Borough Engineer's files received a consecutive series of numbers (with sub-numbers where necessary) regardless of their subject. They were, however, evidently shelved separately according to a section code as follows

1. HO = Housing

2. HW = Highways

3. C.P. = Corporation Property

4. W.W. = Waterworks

5. S. = Sewers

6. S.D. = Sewage Disposal

7. P& P = Parks and Playgrounds

8. T.P. = Town Planning

9. E = Establishment

10. M = Miscellaneous

In the list which follows, the single numerical series has been followed (although there are now many gaps), but with the section code included in brackets
