TITLE: East Bench Water Works Company ledger
DATES: 1902-1967.
ARRANGEMENT: Roughly chronological.
DESCRIPTION: This series contains a single ledger book of the East Bench Water Works Company. This ledger was used by the company to track financial matters, including accounts of various stockholders, lists of stockholders and the value of their interest in the company, assessments made, and company receipts and expenditures. The company incorporated in 1902 and the book contains financial records through 1968. A newspaper clipping, dated 3 December 1967, tucked in the ledger gives notice that stockholders must present their stock certificates to receive a share in the proceeds of the sale of the company.
The East Bench Water Works Company operated in Smithfield, but the records reveal no direct connection between the company and the City of Smithfield. Nevertheless, the records came into the City's possession and have been maintained by them.
