FINANCIAL STATEMENT

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Statements showing appropriations, receipts, expenditures, and other financial data for a series of years constitute the most effective single means of exhibiting the growth and development of a service. Due to the fact that Congress has adopted no uniform plan of appropriations for the several services and that the latter employ no uniform plan in respect to the recording and reporting of their receipts and expenditures, it is impossible to present data of this character according to any standard scheme of presentation. In the case of some services the administrative reports contain tables showing financial conditions and operations of the service in considerable detail; in others financial data are almost wholly lacking. Careful study has in all cases been made of such data as are available, and the effort has been made to present the results in such a form as will exhibit the financial operations of the service in the most effective way that circumstances permit.

Since 1915 the Division of Conciliation has received regular annual appropriations from Congress for "Salaries and Expenses, Commissioners of Conciliation." The appropriations are made in lump sum to cover all of the expenses of the commission.

In the following table appropriations include all deficiency amounts excepting "auditors certified claims." These are generally small and in most cases arise as the result of the lapse of an appropriation. The expenditures, unless otherwise indicated, are figured on the accrual basis and represent, therefore, the total amount expended out of specific appropriations regardless of whether the disbursements were made during the current fiscal year for which the appropriation was made or during the two succeeding years in which the money was available.

Indefinite appropriation based on the amount necessary to pay the bonus.

bAs liabilities incurred during the fiscal year may be paid during the following two years, these figures are not final.

BIBLIOGRAPHY'

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The bibliographies appended to the several monographs aim to list only those works which deal directly with the services to which they relate, their history, activities, organization, methods of business, problems, etc. They are intended primarily to meet the needs of those persons who desire to make a further study of the services from an administrative standpoint. They thus do not include the titles of publications of the services themselves, except in so far as they treat of the services, their work and problems. Nor do they include books or articles dealing merely with technical features other than administrative of the work of the services. In a few cases explanatory notes have been appended where it was thought they would aid in making known the character or value of the publication to which they relate.

After the completion of the series the bibliographies may be assembled and separately published as a bibliography of the Administrative Branch of the National Government.
