A ledger that lists all building permits issued by the City of Boulder ( 6 April 1911 through 19 May 1927).
It is arranged chronologically, and has column headings: Date, Permit No., Owner and/or Contractor, Street Number, Lot, Block, Addition, Kind of Building, No. of Rooms, Baths, Water Closet, Laundry Tubs, Urinals, Boilers, Cost of Building, Date of Inspection, and Fee for Permit.
There are two pages of permits (1919-1925) given for moving structures from one location to another, including garages, houses and an office building.
The Ledger M36 number simply refers to its placement on the acquisition list that accompanied the donation to the library.
