APPENDIX 5

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 appropriation 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 other 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The Federal Trade Commission began operations on the balance of the appropriations originally made for the Bureau of Corporations. This fund was made available for the use of the commission by the ruling of the Comptroller of the Treasury under section three of the act creating the commission (38 Stat. L.; 717). Since 1916 the commission has received regular annual appropriations from Congress. Prior to 1919 the appropriations for "printing and binding" were made under the general appropriations for

"printing and binding." Subsequent to 1918 the sums available for printing and binding have been included in the commission's appropriation for "all other expenses."; Of the total appropriation for the fiscal year 1919, $200,000.00 was returned to the general fund of the treasury in accordance with the act of July 19, 1919. The expenditures listed in the following tables are figured on a cash basis. That is, the amounts given as expended represent the amount expended out of a specific appropriation during the current fiscal year only.

The biblographies 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.
