It was created by the City Treasury Department I (AG-0012) in the period 31/12/1853 to 07/05/1913.

The series was divided into three sub-series:

Survey of the line of sewers occupies most entries in the early years, with details of expenditure on instruments, tools, work stations, brickworks, and labourers' cottages at Newtown for employees of the brickworks.

The third volume contains works such as street watering, road works, metal, tools repairs, cleaning water closets, stoneware drainpipes, kerb and guttering, and the Ladies Baths.
