General ledger accounts, 1884-1898.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/80729231

This series consists of a variety of ledger accounts documenting costs or charges for institution maintenance, expenses, and student support. The accounting was apparently done in compliance with Chapter 587 of the Laws of 1865, which established the school (renamed from the Institution for the Blind by Chapter 563 of the Laws of 1895) and required that full and complete record of its operations be kept. As a state owned and operated facility the school was granted a host of special legislative appropriations over the years, to fund improvements, upkeep and general operations. Appointment of indigent pupils to the school from the counties was done proportionally, according to the ratio of each county's blind population to the overall blind population of the state. The counties paid an annual amount in support of such pupils. All of these transactions and obligations are reflected in the ledger accounts.
