- One black ledger book with a label on the front reading "Instructions to Financial Secretaries" followed by two paragraphs of instructions as to how to make entries in the book. The financial transactions recorded on pages in the middle section of the ledger seem to be the receipts of initiation fees paid by members of the fire department. There is no written indication as to who kept this ledger, but by virtue of its location next to Burnaby Firefighters Association Local 323 bank book, it seems that this ledger served the same purpose and did belong to Local 323.
