This City Sexton invoice from 1846 is the earliest document I found in the Common Council files detailing expenses related to the City Cemetery. See another list of Sexton's expenses that are subsequently disputed by city officials for being too costly here.
The Cemetery Fund was established to pay expenses related to the maintenance and care of the cemetery grounds, including the costs to bury the dead. The original idea was to use the money the city acquired through the purchase of family cemetery lots to pay these expenses. With the 1859 ordinance to stop the sale of lots, the city needed to set aside other monies for the continued care of the grounds. Burials in family-owned lots continued until 1866.
The Board of Public Works was established on May 6, 1861. Excerpts from the annual reports, with attention to details concerning the City Cemetery, and then the Lincoln Park grounds are presented below:
|
First Annual Report of the Board of Public Works of the Common Council of the City of Chicago, 1862
By the terms of the act of organization this Board is charged with the care of the Water Works and the Sewerage Works, the Public Parks and other public places of the city, the Streets the River and Harbor and Public Buildings, the Bridges, the Lamps and Lights to the lighting of public places and buildings of the city and with the direction of all the public improvements hereafter to be commenced by the city.
There have thus been transferred to this Board the duties of the Water Commissioners, the Sewerage Commissioners, the Street Commissioners, the City Superintendent, and of the Special Commissioners for the making of assessments.

p.28, For years it has been a great reproach to our City that there was no
suitable building for the reception of patients affected with the smallpox. The Board have the gratification of reporting that this want is now wholly supplied by the
convenient and commodious hospital erected under our supervision, on the lake shore, and on the grounds of the
Chicago cemetery. It has been turned over to the health department, and is now in its charge.
p.29 Public Parks and Cemetery
The limited appropriation placed at the disposal of the Board for the benefit of the cemetery grounds, and the various
public squares and parks of the city, have been barely sufficient to maintain their fences and sidewalks, and to keep
the grounds in tolerable condition.

At Lincoln Park the work contracted for including the excavating
for,
and formation of artificial lakes and artificial elevations of
ground, the
sodding around the borders of the lakes, and the
trenching and grading of small portions of the park. As the only
time afforded for doing the work was in winter, the progress
made at the close of the fiscal year was not very great, but at the
date of this report, the greater part of the work contracted for
has been done, and the park already begins to disclose
something of the beauty which it is believed it will wear when
the plan begun shall be wholly carried out.
p. 36
At the Cemetery nothing has been done except to keep the fences, walks and grounds in repair. The abandonment of the
“Milliman tract,” and the recent prohibition of further interments
in the cemetery, suggest however the propriety of considering if
it will not be well to provide for the exchange of all lots now
owned there, and the removal of the bodies buried, and the
conversion of the whole ground into a public park.
It seems unjust, when parties have made interments in their lots, to forbid their making any farther use of them for the purpose for
which they were bought, and to compel them to bury their dead,
part in one cemetery and part in another, without making
provision for a suitable lot in exchange for the one which they are
forbidden to use, or for some other fair compensation.

The work at Lincoln Park comprised the excavation of the main portions of the artificial lakes and the sodding of the lake banks, the trenching of the low grounds, and the embankment of the artificial elevations. The drives and walks were laid out, and the bed of clay and gravel formed for the main drive leading through the park from its entrance to the lake shore. A small portion only of the drives was made, but large quantities of clay and gravel were accumulated for future uses.

PUBLIC PARKS
A contract was executed early in the year with Messrs. Nelson and Benson, the original contractors on Lincoln Park, for the grading and shaping of that part of the park (according to the original plan) not hitherto graded, for a large number of evergreen trees, for a drive connecting the park and cemetery, and for sodding and miscellaneous work as should be directed by the Board. This work has been in progress during the year. The park has, however, been visited by such large numbers of persons, that the necessary current expenditures for its maintenance in good order have amounted to a considerable share of the whole outlay.
p. 51
The Board were made the recipients during the year of an agreeable expression of courtesy and good will from the Commissioners of Central Park, N.Y., by the donation, through O.B. Green, Esq., of two pairs of swans, taken from the Central Park. They were placed at Lincoln Park, affording much pleasure to the visitors.

During the winter there were 1,600 instances of hydrants being found frozen. This was the largest number, even in proportion, that has ever occurred. … Hitherto the main dependence for preventing hydrants from freezing has been to pack manure around them. As the city increases in size this becomes more difficult and expensive, and is besides, in many instances, a nuisance. It is hoped that the system already commenced of endeavoring to make air-tight chambers around the hydrants, by means of boards and tan bark, will not only reduce the expenses of this department of the Works, but will diminish the cases of freezing, and do away with the manure nuisance.

ELEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT – year ending March 31st, 1872.
This report contains an accounting of damages caused by the fire.
p. 4
The new City Hall, which had been occupied only about a year, and which cost the city about $470,000, was entirely ruined. The walls, although left standing, were found to be in such a damaged condition as to be quite useless in the construction of a new building, and are now being taken down.
There were six vaults in the building, which were intended to be fire-proof, and were occupied, two by the Board of Public Works, one by the City Clerk, one by the Tax commissioner, one by the City Comptroller, and one by the City Collector.
In the first four, which were composed wholly of brick, everything was preserved uninjured, while in the last two, in consequence of the giving way of the stone which was used for the floors, the contents were destroyed.
p.8 RECORDS, MAPS, Etc.
The records, maps, etc., in the offices of the Board, were very full and complete, and a great deal of inconvenience is caused by their loss. The records of the pumping works, and many very valuable books, papers, statistics, etc., scattered through the various offices of the Board, were lost and can never be restored. Fortunately, the means are at hand for reproducing most of the maps, but it will be a long and expensive work.
p.10
As before stated, the contents of the vaults, consisting of records of the Board, contracts, books of account, vouchers, etc., were saved.
(These seem to be the Common Council files, assumed destroyed in the fire, until their discovery in 1983 in a warehouse on the southwest side of Chicago.)

But little has been done at any of the Parks more than was absolutely necessary for their proper care and maintenance.
Lincoln Park, (Improved part)
Number of acres 56 1/2
As there is a probability that the care of Lincoln Park will soon be transferred to the Lincoln Park commissioners, the Board give here a brief account of what has been accomplished at that place while it has been in their charge.
Lincoln Park, as now laid out, embraces within its limits a piece of ground, running north from North avenue, one and one-half miles, along the lake shore, and contains about 240 1/2 acres.
The southern portion, containing about 89 1/4 acres, was formerly used as a cemetery. Its use for that purpose has been discontinued for some time, and it is now proposed to lay it out and ornament it as a addition to the part already improved.
Considerable progress has been made by the Lincoln Park Commissioners in improving the portion of the park lying north of Webster avenue, containing 94 3/4 acres.
The part which has been laid out and improved under the supervision of the Board, is the central portion, running south from Webster avenue 1,650 feet, and containing about 56 1/2 acres.
The first appropriation which was made by the city on account of this work was in the year 1865. The necessary surveys were made, and a plan for the future improvement of the park was adopted in the fall of that year. The ground at that time was nothing but a succession of sand-hills, with no vegetation whatever, excepting an occasional bush and a few scrub oaks upon the western portion. An old ditch had been cut through it by the Cook county drainage commissioners some years before, for the purpose of draining the low lands lying to the north. This ditch was filled with stagnant water a greater portion of the time.
The sand-banks were changing about from place to place, by the different currents of wind, like drifts of snow, and nothing could be donw towards starting vegetation until the surface could be properly graded and covered with loam.
In converting the ground to use as a public park, there was but little about it, excepting its location, that gave any promise of success.
The design adopted embraced, in addition to about five miles of drives and walks, an artificial lake covering about three acres of surface, and various hills and elevations.
The material excavated from the lake was used in making the elevations. After the grading had been completed, very large quantities of loam and manure were obtained, with which the surface was covered to an average depth of fifteen inches. Some portions were then sodded, and others were seeded for grass.
The walks and drives are composed of a bedding of blue clay, with a surface dressing of gravel. There are four bridges crossing the artificial lake at different places. Only one of these, however, is of a permanent character. The others were only designed for temporary use, and should be replaced by something more ornamental, and more in keeping with the place.
The surface of the ground is now well covered with an abundant growth of grass; and the trees and shrubbery, sufficient for ornament and shade, have been set out and are doing well.
Numerous caves, grottos, rockeries, and drinking fountains, have been constructed at different points
The artificial lake, with its swans and other water fowl, together with numerous specimens of birds and wild animals, collected in the park, contributes very much to the attractions of the place.
An abundant supply of water to keep the lake fresh and clear at all times, is obtained from an artesian well, which was sunk to the depth of 1,173 feet in 1870.
In this way this barren and desolate piece of ground has been transformed into a place of rare beauty, and the multitude of people who are constantly attracted hither testify to its value as a place of public resort.
The work, throughout, has been attended with great interest and satisfaction to the Board, and it is with pleasure that they are able to transfer it in a condition so thriving and prosperous.
A photographic view of a portion of the Park accompanies this report.
The following statement shows the amount expended on the improvement of the Park, and in its care and maintenance, from the commencement of the work to April 1, 1873.

On April 28, 1874, as recorded in the Lincoln Park Commissioners Proceedings (which can be seen here), the commissioners condemned seven hundred and twelve cemetery lots. Owners of those lots were offered 20¢ per square foot of land, amounting to $43.20 for a 9x24 foot lot.
See some records of disinterments before 1878 here.
