1837 City of Lancaster PA Resolution – Loan Paper & Plate Expense Payment
Approximately 3\" by 7.75\"
Book 13 page 42
Original 1837 handwritten resolution from the Select and Common Councils of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This document authorizes the Mayor to draw a warrant for $100 in favor of Messrs. Michael & Maxwell to cover expenses for procuring paper and printing plates for a City Loan. Dated May 3, 1837, and signed by Wm. Whiteside, Clerk, with concurrence by Montgomery.
