Full description

This series comprise the Ledgers of the Tamworth Rural Lands Protection Board.

Each volume is arranged chronologically.

Under the Pastures Protection Act of 1902 (No.111, 1902) and subsequent legislation, each Board was required to pay three per cent of its annual revenue to the Treasury and to keep minute and account books to be presented when required for inspection. These Ledgers were accounting records for the Pastures Protection Fund and included information on plant equipment, store stocks, and subscription rates. They also presented expenditure and income including assessments, contribution to the department, fines and reserve improvements. There was a profit and loss statement for each year which had been audited. There are many gaps in the contents of the series, a number of Ledgers are missing and may not be extant.
