City Cleansing Engineer's Files, 1926-1933

Description

Unique IDAS-0812DateBetween 18th February 1926 and 17th May 1933Date qualifiercircaFormatRegistered FileDescriptionOn 20 January 1925 Council separated the cleansing function from CA 87, City Surveyor's Department, and created the City Cleansing Engineer's Department. The Cleansing Engineer started his own correspondence file series, containing reports and statistics about cleansing in the City.

The files were given "Special File Numbers" which were single numbers. Only three of the files and a specification drawn up by the Cleansing Engineer for the Pyrmont Incinerator have survived.

The Department was abolished in 1928 and the cleansing function was taken over by the new City Engineering and Building Surveyor's Department (CA61), who continued to use the files until 1933.
