APPENDIX 6

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 services in the most effective way that circumstances permit.

The act of June 10, 1920 (41 Stat. L., 1063, Sec. 17), stipulates that all proceeds from any Indian reservation shall be placed to the credit of the Indians of such reservation; and that all other charges arising from licenses under the Federal Power Act should be paid into the Treasury of the United States, subject to certain distribution.

Twelve and one-half per cent of the charges are appropriated and credited to "Miscellaneous Receipts." Fifty per cent of the charges arising from licenses for the occupancy and use of public lands, national monuments, national forests, and national parks are paid into the Reclamation Fund. Thirty-seven and one-half per cent of the charges arising from licenses for the occupancy and use of national parks, national forests, public lands, and national monuments, from developments within the boundaries of

any state are paid to such state. Fifty per cent of the charges arising from all other licenses is reserved and appropriated as a special fund in the Treasury to be expended under the direction of the Secretary of War in the maintenance and operation of dams and other navigation structures that are owned by the United States, or in the construction, maintenance, or operation of headwater or other improvements of navigable waters of the United States.

The appropriations and expenditures of the commission for 1921 and 1922 are shown in the following table. No appropriation was made for the fiscal year 1923, as the unexpended balance of the appropriation for the fiscal year 1921, made in the act creating the commission, is being used. This appropriation is available until expended.

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.
