The bills and receipts are grouped together in months, however, R. & S. Adamson filed them according to the date of payment rather than receipt. Consequently bills referring to a particular project may be filed several months after the completion of the work; in addition, bills from certain people have been filed together and paid annually and are thus all together in the month of settlement
