Records Summary
The records of the Electrical Commission relate primarily to
administrative and operational activities. Administrative materials
cover such subjects as inter-agency cooperation in the construction
and use of conduits; negotiations with private companies; construction
details; inquiries from individuals and other municipalities about the
commission's work; and legal matters. Operational records deal with
such topics as duct space applications; financial accounting;
personnel; acquisition of material and equipment; permit applications;
and specifications. Correspondence, ledgers, forms, legal documents,
and drawings comprise most of the record types. Most of the material
dates from 1900 to 1914, which was the period of the commission's
greatest activity. While some series appear to be complete, there are
gaps in many places.
