This volume of the historic Goulburn Council meeting minutes collection contains the reports of the Works Overseer of Goulburn Municipal Council for the years 1916-1922. John Smith has signed the reports, first as Working Ganger in 1916, and by 1922 as Works Overseer. These reports provide a rich and varied primary source of information detailing the development of the City of Goulburn and surrounds, and provide unique insight into decision making, planning, and staff processes over a long period of time. They detail the important decisions made, and provide invaluable information about the history of our community, showing 'how it happened', 'when it happened', and 'who did it' in real time.
