Description

This 1927 City of Lovelock labor voucher documents a municipal payment to Emil Opplliger for twenty-two and a half days of labor performed at four dollars and fifty cents per day, totaling $101.25. Dated November 2, 1927, and officially approved for payment from the General Fund on November 15, 1927, this municipal finance document originates from Pershing County, Nevada, and provides a tangible record of early 20th-century civic administration and labor compensation. The form features pre-printed legal boilerplate requiring a sworn affidavit that the bill is just and correct and that no payment had been previously rendered, followed by certification from City Clerk 7.A Twigg and approval signatures from council members including B. Davim and F. C. Howard, illustrating the multi-tiered bureaucratic oversight characteristic of municipal governance during this period. The document serves as a significant artifact of Nevada's regional history, capturing the formal processes of municipal record-keeping during the late 1920s. The labor rate of $4.50 per day provides concrete economic data regarding wage standards for municipal work in rural Nevada communities between the world wars. The form's structure, with designated sections for notarization, city clerk certification, and council approval, reflects established protocols for municipal expenditure accountability. As an example of governmental ephemera, this voucher embodies the material culture of public administration, documenting both the practical mechanics of civic finance and the individual labor that supported municipal operations in a specific Western American community nearly a century ago.
