=====================================================

Received Long Island City Dec 5th 1876 of William Mills twenty two 50/100 dollars for sewer spring of Rosman(?) in Greenpoint Ave on between Van Buren Avenue owned by the Estate of George G. Walters, to Nov 15th 1875 $22.50 H. L. Anable(?) agt.

=================================================== Observations & Historical Notes This 1876 Long Island City receipt appears to concern a sewer or drainage-related assessment connected with property owned by the estate of George G. Walters near Greenpoint Avenue and Van Buren Avenue in western Queens. The wording strongly suggests payment for sewer construction, drainage improvements, or a sewer connection — part of the major infrastructure expansion occurring in Long Island City during the 1870s. As the city rapidly industrialized after its incorporation in 1870, municipal improvements such as: sewer systems drainage works graded streets paving projects water lines became increasingly necessary to support growing residential and industrial development. Greenpoint Avenue was one of the key transportation and commercial corridors linking Long Island City with Brooklyn and interior Queens. Sewer and street improvement assessments were commonly charged to adjacent property owners or estates benefiting from municipal work. The mention of the estate of George G. Walters ties the document to the same family estate appearing in other known Long Island City receipts from this period, suggesting continued administration of property holdings after the owner’s death.
