City of Guelph Road and Bridge Committee minutes

Series consists of the minutes of Road and Bridge Committee meetings for the years 1869-1879.

These records document the role of the committee in managing the development of Guelph's road transportation system.

It is believed that the Road and Bridge Committee was superceded by the Board of Works Committee in early 1879, as the mandates of these two committees overlap with respect to mandate over road, bridge and sidewalk construction and maintenance.
