LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR,
B U R E A U OF THE CENSUS,
Washington, D. C, December 20, 1910.
SIR:
I have the honor to transmit herewith the annual report on statistics of cities having a population of over
30,000 in 190S, this being the seventh annual report on this subject prepared by the Bureau of the Census.
The statistical tables contained in this report show in detail the financial transactions of the municipal
governments, their indebtedness and assets, and the assessed valuation of taxed property. The statistics
on financial transactions are analyzed and so presented as to show, both for the whole city and for its important
departments, the costs of conducting the city's business, together with the revenue collected and the debt
incurred for,meeting these costs. The rapid increase in the cost of city government and the great interest
now taken in city affairs by the general public make these statistics of great importance at the present time.
In connection with the financial statistics, the report presents a discussion of accounting terminology, with the
hope that the.continued consideration of this important subject may lead to greater uniformity in the use of
technical accounting terms. In order to present more accurate estimates of the population of the cities in
1908, an appendix has been added to the report showing revised estimates of population for that year based
upon the census of 1910, together with revised per capita averages for the principal classes of financial data.
The report was prepared by Mr. Le Grand Powers, chief statistician in charge of the compilation of the
statistics of cities, and Mr. E. H. Maling, chief of division of finance, whose efficient work in the preparation
of the report it is desired to acknowledge.
Very respectfully,
&fo
Hon.
Director of the Census.
CHARLES NAGEL,
Secretary of Commerce and Labor.

STATISTICS OF CITIES HAVING A POPULATION OF OVER
30,000: 1908.
FINANCIAL STATISTICS.
INTROIAUCTION.
Scope of present report—The census report on sta
tistics of cities for 1908 is limited to the presentation
and discussion of data relating to the financial affairs
of municipal governments, while the report for 1907
presented data on municipal finance and on the num
ber of employees, equipment, and work of many city
departments, together with statistics on municipal
properties and improvements, as sewers, streets, and
parks. In the future it is the intention to publish
annually a report on municipal finance and a separate
report containing statistics on a limited number of
city departments, properties, and improvements.
The special reports on departments, properties, and
improvements will be arranged in a series so that all
important lines of city work will be covered by the
reports in the course of five or six }years.
Objects of the census investigation.—In its financial
statistics of cities the Bureau of the Census seeks to
present in a comparable form the following data
relating to the financial transactions and condition of
municipalities: The total and per capita costs of
government and the similar costs of maintaining
specified public services, such as those furnished by
the schools, or by the police or fire department; the
total costs of constructing and maintaining sewers,
streets, etc.; the total and per capita revenue derived
from all sources and from each specified source; and
the proportion of the total revenue derived from each
source, and of the total expenditures made for each
object or purpose.
Differences in local governmental organizations.—To
attain the objects mentioned, consideration must be
given to the great differences which exist in the organ
ization of American cities for purposes of local selfgovernment. In some cities all municipal activities
are administered by a single municipal corporation,
while in other cities the administration of municipal
functions is distributed among a number of independ
ent governmental bodies, of which the one perform
ing the most important functions is usually spoken
of as the city corporation. The activities of this "city
corporation," however, do not include all public
activities that may properly be said to belong to the
government of the citj*, or of the community consti
tuting-the city; its payments do not include all pay
ments authorized by the citizens for the purpose of
securing exclusive benefits for the people of the city
and at their sole expense; its debts do not include all
public obligations for which the citizens are responsi
ble; and its receipts do not include all receipts derived
from municipal activities within the city limits.
The government of the city—that is, of the community
constituting the city—for which data must be obtained
in order to compile comparable statistics of financial
transactions and conditions is not limited to the "city
corporation," as above described, but includes all
municipal corporations, commissions, and boards
through which the people of the city exercise any
privilege of local self-government, or by reason of
which they enjoy the exclusive benefits of any govern
mental function. The census financial statistics of
cities accordingly include data obtained from all the
governmental units mentioned.
Differences in municipal accounts.—In many
instances the accounts of American cities vary greatly
in character, in methods, and in the bookkeeping
devices employed. In some cities the only books of
account are those of the treasurer; in others addi
tional accounts are kept by the comptroller or other
officer exercising the duties of a comptroller or auditor.
In most cities of the latter class the books of the
comptroller are in some respects similar to those of the
treasurer and serve as a check upon his transactions as
well as upon those of departmental officers responsible
for the expenditure of governmental moneys.
The treasurer's accounts record the flow of cash into
and out from the treasury. In many cities, especially
where the treasurer is the only official keeping general
(11)
12
STATISTICS OF CITIES.
accounts for the city government, the payments
recorded by the treasurer are classified according to
the appropriations against which they are chargeable.
The comptroller's or auditor's accounts are usually
based upon actual receipts and upon the warrants or
orders drawn upon the treasurer in settlement of bills
or claims for services, materials, etc." The treasurer's
and the comptroller's statements of payments will agree
if the warrants or orders are paid promptly upon their
issue, but the two statements will disagree if any
warrants are paid in a year subsequent to that of
issue. A further cause for differences between the
treasurer's and the comptroller's statements of pay
ments is found in a few cities where certain pay
ments are made without the issue of warrants. In
some cities the comptroller's accounts are based upon
the accrued amount of revenues, expenses, etc., rather
than upon actual receipts and warrant expenditures.
It is thus seen that the general or principal accounts
of a city may record (a) cash transactions only, (6)
cash receipts and warrant expenditures which will
differ from cash payments by the amount of warrants
issued but not paid, or (c) amounts accruing as reve
nues, expenses, outlays, interest, etc., regardless of
whether received or paid. As very few cities, how
ever, keep their accounts on the last-mentioned basis,
the Bureau of the Census is unable to adopt this basis
for its reports, and its statistics are therefore based,
as far as possible, upon actual, or cash, receipts, and
warrant expenditures, as shown in the accounts of
the comptroller or auditor. The reason for basing the
statistics upon the accounts of the comptroller or
auditor, rather than upon those of the treasurer which
present cash receipts and payments, is twofold: (1) In
some cities large numbers of warrants, or orders hav
ing the authority of warrants, arc paid in a year sub
sequent to that of issue, so that in these cities the
aggregate of warrants drawn more nearly represents
the cost of governmental operation and maintenance
and the expenditures for permanent properties for a
given year than does the aggregate of warrants paid;
(2) in some cities the treasurer's books do not classify
the payments by object in the same detail as do the
accounts of the comptroller. In order to make a
more nearly complete exhibit of the financial transac
tions of a given year, however, it is also necessary for
the Bureau of the Census to include in its report, in
addition to a statement of the warrants drawn during
the current year, a statement of those drawn in previous
years but liquidated during the current year.
In some cities with a single municipal corporation
all financial transactions are centralized and recorded
in the comptroller's or auditor's office, so that a com
plete statement may be compiled from his records.
In other cities with a similar governmental organiza
tion the comptroller or auditor has authority over and
records only a part of the financial transactions, the
final accounting responsibility being divided among
several officers or boards. In the cities of the latter
class the Bureau of the Census is compelled to prepare
statements from the records of each officer or board
exercising independent auditing or accounting powers.
Differences in accounting terminology.—During the
past several years the Bureau of the Census has
sought, in cooperation with state bureaus and account
ants' associations, to procure the adoption of a stand
ard accounting terminology by the financial officers of
cities. Some progress has been made in this direction,
but the lack of uniformity in the use of accounting
terms is yet very apparent. In many instances terms
with such distinct significations as "payments,"
"expenses," "outlays," and "expenditures" are used
interchangeably. It is also common to find the same
meaning given to "revenues" and to "receipts."
This lack of accuracy in the use of words is duo partly
to a lack of clear thinking and correct analysis and
partly to mere carelessness in speech.
Need for uniformity in city accounts and reports.—
Until the cities keep their accounts and publish their
reports in a uniform manner it will be impossible to
compare, from the cities' printed reports, the financial
experience of one city with that of other cities. Such
comparisons are valuable, and the demand for com
parable statistics was largely responsible for the
present census reports. The compilation of compar
able financial statistics of cities is at the present time
attended with many difficulties and large expense,
owing to differences in the accounting systems and
methods of the various cities. The movement toward
the uniform classification of payments and receipts
has been given great impetus by the publication of
the census reports presenting thefinancialstatistics of
cities, but the publication of these reports will not
alone suffice to render easy of attainment comparable
financial statistics of cities. Before that end can bo
secured accountants and governmental officials must
reach some common understanding as to the funda
mental principles of governmental business and
accounting, as accountants have already done with
reference to the fundamental principles of commercial
accounting. That result can be secured only as the
outcome of stud}r and intelligent discussion of these
principles.
Standard city accounts and reports are desirable
not only as prerequisites to significant comparisons
of one city's finances with those of other cities, but
also to enable the officials and citizens of a given
city to compare its expenditures, outlays, and reve
nues for a given year with those for other years.
If a standard system is in use, the transactions must
be analyzed and recorded according to their charac
ter; in the case of payments they will be classified
according to their object, as for expenses of a given
department or for outlays for a specified improvement,-
FINANCIAL STATISTICS.
#
in the case of receipts they will be classified accord
ing to their source, as from a given class of revenue
or from some nonrevenue source. If a standard
system is not in use, the transactions will, in all
probability, not be analyzed, but will be recorded in
the easiest possible manner or possibly in a manner
determined by political expediency. Such methods,
or rather lack of methods, result in a different treat
ment of similar items in succeeding years, thus pre
cluding comparisons of any value.
In connection with this discussion of the need of
uniform city accounts attention may be called to
the need for a prompt audit of bills as soon as ren
dered. In some cities a considerable period of time
elapses between the presentation and the audit of
claims. In such a case the warrants or audited bills
for a given period are not true exhibits of the costs
of government for that period, so that when exhibits
of governmental expenditures are based upon war
rants issued, as are those now compiled by the Bureau
of the Census, or upon audited bills, the statistics
for such cities will fail to be comparable with those
for other cities which audit their bills promptly.
This condition of affairs will continue until cities are
compelled by state law, if they will not do so on
their own initiative, to employ business methods of
auditing bills when due and to pay those bills promptly
by the issue of warrants on the treasury. Such an
improved method of conducting the finances of cities
would accomplish two very important results in that
it would render possible the compilation of statis
tics which would measure the relative efficiency and
economy of municipal administration, and at the
same time eliminate one of the most potent single
factors in governmental graft and dishonesty.
Need for a standard tenninology in accounting,—
The subjects of correct and uniform accounting and
of improved business methods for cities and their
industries are of great popular interest, and many
accountants, economists, governmental officials, and
13
public writers are giving them earnest thought.
The average accountant is, however, of necessity
devoting most of his attention to improving the
methods of accounting and business administration
in accordance with his own ideas; he is working out
his own schemes without seeking the cooperation
of others. The result is that, while better accounting
and more efficient business methods are being intro
duced in governmental business, the country is not
securing uniformity as rapidly as is desirable.
Uniformity in systems of accounting must be based
upon a common language of accounts, that is, upon
the use of a common terminology. To aid in securing
that uniformity, schedules and schemes of accounts
should be accompanied with definitions of each ac
counting term employed, and the reason for adopt
ing that term where the usage of the commercial
world and the governmental world are not uniform.
The publication and discussion of such definitions and
explanations will open the way for final selection
of those terms which are best adapted for securing
improved and uniform governmental accounts and
reports.
The Bureau of the Census undertook a study of
accounting terms some years ago and has presented
definitions of the more important terms in several
of its reports. These definitions have been discussed
by accountants and city officials, and have been revised
from time to time. Believing that a standard ter
minology must precede uniform accounts and reports,
and, further, that such a terminology will be adopted
only after continued agitation, it has seemed desirable
once more to present definitions of some of the more
important terms. It is hoped that further discussion
of these definitions will result, and that the number
of cities adopting these terms will be increased. For
more complete discussion of accounting terminology
and for definitions of terms omitted from this report,
reference should be made to the 1906 and 1907 reports
on Statistics of Cities.

Asset accounts.—Few cities have any trustworthy
records of the cost or present value of their "prop
erties/ 1 and a smaller number have any intelligible or
trustworthy exhibit of the original cost of their "high
ways" and "sewers" or of the present cost of repro
ducing them, and few have any definite statement of
the probable amount to be realized from their uncol
lected revenues. It should be noted, however, that
some progress has been made in this branch of account
ing during the last few years. The Bureau of the
Census has continuousl}r emphasized the importance of
having correct information with reference to the value
of governmental properties, highways, and sewers, etc.
As the result of this action, it has been able each year
to make its statistics of the value of governmental
properties more trustworthy than those of any pre
vious year, although even now they are confessedly far
from perfect. The Bureau of the Census, however, has
not included in any report statistics of uncollected
revenues, since it has not deemed the data obtained
with reference to this subject sufficiently trustworthy
to warrant publication. A correct statement of cash
and investments can be made without any exhibit of
properties and public improvements or of uncollected
revenues, but summaries of financial condition which
include on their debit side only exhibits of the two
classes of assets above mentioned are not complete
statements of governmental financial condition. They
are, however, of far greater administrative value than
more pretentious summaries of financial condition
which include incorrect statements of the actual value
of the several classes of governmental resources. The
first requisite in this field is a correct exhibit of assets,
so far as any presentation of their value is given at
all. The extension of accounting control over fixed
assets may therefore with profit be deferred until
correct statements of their value have been prepared.
Liabilities.—Liabilities are primarily the obligations
and responsibilities of governments to pay, deliver,
hold, use, or expend money, or money's worth in the
form of land or goods, or to render specified services.
The term is also used in speaking of amounts of money,
or money's worth in the form, of land, goods, or serv
ices which governments are under obligations to pay,
deliver, or render, or for whose use, payment, or expend
iture they are responsible.
Classification of liabilities.—In accounts, liabilities
are represented by credit entries and balances. The
greater number of such entries and balances in the
liability accounts of governments represent the legal
liabilities or actual liabilities above described, which
are in a broad, general way separable into two classes
called debts and trusts, or debt liabilities and trust lia
bilities. These liability accounts also contain the
record of amounts which represent neither debts nor
51151°—10
2
15
trusts, but constitute what are here called nominal
liabilities.
Debts.—Debts or debt liabilities are primarily the
obligations of governments to pay or deliver money,
goods, or other wealth to specified parties, or their
heirs or assigns, or to perform or render specified serv
ices having a monetary value in their behalf or at their
behest. The term is also applied to amounts of
money, or money's worth, which have been received
and must be paid or delivered as stated.
Debts or debt liabilities may be classified upon
many different bases, and thus may be given many
specific designations. Classified according to the pro
visions made for their payment or liquidation, they
are called current debts, funded debts, and floating
debts; classified according to the time when due or
payable, they are called due and demand liabilities,
liabilities not due, and liabilities awaiting final deter
mination or adjustment; and classified according to
the character of the instruments or records which
evidence the debts, they are called bonds, notes pay
able, warrants payable, audits payable, and accounts
payable.
Current debts.—The current debts or current debt
liabilities of a government are those debt liabilities
for the payment or liquidation of which provision is
full}7 made by cash on hand, by revenues accrued or
accruing, or by other assets provided and appro
priated for that specific -purpose.
Funded orfixeddebts.—The funded or fixed debts, or
funded orfixeddebt liabilities, of a government are those
debts evidenced by some formal instrument, or in
some other manner, which have a number of years to
run or upon which interest is to be paid in perpetuity,
but for the amortization of which no assets other than
those of sinking funds have as yet been specifically au
thorized or appropriated. Originally the term " funded
debts" was applied only to those debts for whose
amortization sinking fund provisions had been made,
but at present the term is used more or less inter
changeably with that of fixed debts in speaking of
the debt obligations specifically mentioned above.
Floating debts.—The floating debts or floating debt
liabilities of a government are those debts not coming
under the head of funded or fixed debts as defined
above for the payment or redemption of which there
is no money in the treasury specifically designated or
appropriated, nor any provision made for obtaining
such money by taxation or otherwise.
Current, funded, and floating debts constitute due
and demand liabilities, liabilities not due, and liabilities
awaiting final determination or adjustment, according
as they are payable on demand at the present time,
or at some future time, and according to whether the
amount payable has been determined or adjusted or
is awaiting such determination and adjustment.
The term bonds is more or less generally applied to

they have constitutional or statutory authority; and
(2) the losses occasioned by depreciation of permanent
properties and otherwise. Expenses are the costs and
losses for which no permanent or subsequently con
vertible value is received or receivable.
Governmental expenses may be separated into two
principal groups, here called general expenses and
commercial expenses.
The general expenses of the governments of nations,
states, and municipalities are those incurred by them
in connection with the exercise of their general govern
mental functions.
The commercial expenses of the governments of
nations, states, and municipalities are those incurred
by them in connection with commercial functions.
Such expenses for municipalities are divided into four
groups, as follows:
(1) Expenses of municipal service enterprises are the
total costs of the operation and maintenance of munici
pal service enterprises, or the expenses of those depart
ments or offices of a city which are organized mainly
for the purpose of furnishing the city with some public
utility or with some service which most cities obtain
from or through private enterprises.
(2) Investment expenses are the total costs of the
administration of sinking, investment, and public
trust funds.
(3) Special service expenses are the expenses in
curred by municipalities in connection with special
services performed or provided by any of their depart
ments or offices other than the public service and
municipal service enterprises.
(4) Expenses of public service enterprises are the
total costs of operation and maintenance of the public
service enterprises of a municipality, or the expenses
of those departments or offices of a city which are
organized for the purpose of providing the public, or
the public and the city, with some public utility or
service.
The commercial expenses described under (1), (2),
and (3) are in practice closely associated with "general
expenses," and it is frequently impossible or inadvis
able to make the theoretical divisions here enumerated.
For example, the expenses of a municipal service enter
prise, as an asphalt repair plant, may be so merged
with the general expenses for similar objects that a
segregation is impossible. Similarly, the expenses
of administering invested funds, as the sinking funds,
may bo combined with the general expenses incurred
in the administration of the city comptroller's, audi
tor's, or treasurer's office; or the expenses incurred
in performing special services for individuals or cor
porations may be merged with the general expenses
incurred in sower, highway, or park maintenance.
The Bureau of the Census has found it impracticable
to prepare a separate statement of payments for
17
special service expenses, and such payments are in
cluded with those for general expenses. Moreover,
the census figures on payments for expenses of munici
pal service enterprises and for investment expenses
are incomplete.
Interest—In governmental accounting, the term "in
terest" is used as the designation of the accrued costs,
paid or payable, incurred by nations, states, and
municipalities for the use of credit capital utilized by
them. These costs are separable into a number of
groups, according as they are classified with reference
to the purpose for which the credit capital was utilized,
or according to the character of the governmental
obligations evidencing the indebtedness on which the
interest is payable.
Outlays.—In governmental accounting, outlays are
the accrued costs, paid or payable, of lands and other
properties more or less permanent in character, and
thus available for more than a single use, which are
owned or used by nations, states, and municipalities in
the exercise of their governmental functions or in con
nection with the business undertakings conducted by
them. The outlays of governments are separable into
the same groups as are their general expenses and the
expenses of their public service enterprises.
Governmental revenues.—The revenues of nations,
states, and municipalities are the amounts of money,
or money's worth, provided or obtained by them for
meeting those costs of government called expenses,
interest, and outlays, and are derived from the follow
ing sources: (1) From the exercise of the governmental
powers of taxation and police control; (2) from the
receipt of donations, gifts, grants, and subventions
for governmental uses; (3) from the performance of
services for compensation, and the furnishing of mate
rial objects for valuable considerations; and (4) from
the operation or management of the productive enter
prises, investments, and properties of the government.
Classified with reference to their character, the rev
enues of nations, states, and municipalities are, like
governmental expenses, readily separable into two
classes, called respectively by the Bureau of the Census
j general and commercial revenues.
j The general revenues of a nation, state, or municipal! ity are the amounts of wealth unconditioned upon the
performance of any specific service to the individual
contributor which are provided or obtained as the
compulsory or voluntary contributions of private
individuals, corporations, or other civil divisions for
defraying the general costs of government. The
greater portion of these revenues are derived from
taxes; the remainder are obtained from fines and
I forfeits, gifts, donations, grants, and subventions.

FINANCIAL STATISTICS.
Fees and charges.—Fees and charges, as distinguished
from taxes, are compulsory contributions of wealth
which are exacted from persons, natural or corporate,
to defray a part or all of the costs involved in some
specified service rendered by the government.
Fees are amounts of money paid or payable for serv
ices which are never performed except by govern
ments; while charges are amounts of money paid or
payable for services performed by governments which
are similar in character to those performed by one
individual for another. The greater portion of all
"fees" are receipts for services where the amounts to
be charged are established by statute and are gener
a l ^ collected in advance; while "charges" can be
definitely determined only upon completion of the
work, and advance payments are only to guarantee
the payment of costs when determined.
Governmental revenues obtained or secured from
the operation of productive enterprises, investments,
and properties include rents, interest, receipts from
sales of manufactured products, etc., the same as in
private business management. The classification of
such revenues and the terminology employed in con
nection therewith are identical with those employed

of private productive enterprises, investments, and

divisions, and which add to the total cash in its

Real or actual payments and receipts, being in all
cases payments to and receipts from the public, may
with propriety be called payments to and receipts from
the public. The terms last mentioned are by the
Bureau of the Census emploj^ed interchangeably with
the terms "real or actual payments" and "receipts."
The real or actual payments and receipts of a govern
ment, or its payments to and receipts from the public,
may in turn be classified in many ways, the most
significant classification being that which separates
the payments and receipts which ultimately go to
meet the costs of government from all other actual
governmental payments and receipts. Thus sepa
rated, the payments and receipts of nations, states,
and municipalities are readily arranged in two groups,
here called payments and receipts for meeting govern
mental costs, and payments and receipts other than
those for meeting governmental costs.
Payments and receipts for meeting governmental costs
are the net amounts of money, or other wealth ex

which they receive from all sources.

DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES.
TABLE 1.
Date of incorporation as a city.—Under this head are
given (1) the dates when the different municipalities
were first organized as cities under general provisions
of state law or by special charter, and (2) the dates of
the latest organization under new general laws or spe
cial charters. Frequently the laws or charters have
been amended or revised, and the census agents in
some instances have experienced difficulty in deter
mining whether given changes should be reported
merely as modifications of the first organization or as
a new organization of the municipal corporation. The
Census Bureau has not been able to devote sufficient
time to the study of this problem to determine accu
rately in all cases the date of the latest incorporation,
but it may be safely assumed that the time of the last
important or complete reorganization of a municipal
ity made prior to June 30, 1908, is shown in the table.
The date of the first organization as a city corporation
is more easily ascertained, and in most instances is
correctly given.
Population and area.—This table gives, for each of
the 158 cities included in the report, the population
enumerated at the Federal censuses of 1S90 and 1900
and the estimated population for 1906,1907, and 1908.
The estimates are those computed and used by the
Bureau of the Census whenever it is necessary to com
pare data collected for intercensal years with contem
poraneous population, as in the statistics of per capita
debt, per capita payments and receipts, etc. For this
purpose it is assumed, in the absence of any state
census, that the annual increase of population since
the last Federal census is equal to one-tenth of the
decennial increase between the Federal censuses for
1890 and 1900. The population returns of the census
of 1910 were not available at a sufficiently early date to
use in computing the estimated population for 1908, on
which the per capita averages in this report are based.
Revised estimates of population, based on the census
of 1910 and the next preceding state or Federal census,
are given in an appendix to this report. If during any
year any territory wTas annexed to a given city, the
estimates for the succeeding year include the popula
tion in 1900 of the territory annexed, plus the increase
in its population, computed upon the same basis as that
of the original city; corresponding deductions are made
where territory has been detached during any year.
Where there has been a state census since 1900, the
returns of that census are accepted for the year to
which it relates, and estimates are made for other years
by emplo3ring the average annual increase as deter
mined by a comparison of the figures for the state
census with those for the Federal census of 1900. The
table calls attention, by appropriate footnotes, to all
estimates thus based partly on Federal and partly on
state censuses. The figures given for Oklahoma City
in 1907 are those obtained by a special Federal census
for Oklahoma taken in that year, which are also used
as a basis in making the estimates for the other years
for which estimates are shown.
In the case of Los Angeles and Oakland, Cal., Seattle,
Tacoma, and Spokane, Wash., and Fort Worth, Tex.,
the available information indicates a rate of increase
in population much greater than would be shown by
the application of the rules above set forth; in the case
of San Francisco, Cal., it is impossible to make a satis
factory estimate of the population because of the un
usual conditions resulting from the earthquake in 1906.
For these seven cities no estimates are shown sepa
rately and no per capita figures are computed, but an
estimate is included in the grand and group totals of
the table so that per capita averages may be computed
for the groups of cities.
The area as given in Table 1 for each of the 158 cities
is the number of acres included within the limits of
the city on June 1, 190S, subdivided wherever possible
into land and water areas.
TABLE 2.
Payments and receipts^ classified by divisions of gov
ernments and funds.—As stated in the introduction to
this report,1 the organization of cities for local selfgovernment differs greatly, e. g., in some instances all
city functions are performed through a single munic
ipal corporation, while in others the work is divided
among several independent governing bodies. To
procure comparable statistics for cities with such
diverse organization it is necessary to collect reports
from many local governments other than the city
corporation. The local governments included in this
report, together with their several separate funds,
are shown in Table 2 under the head "city, and divi
sions and funds of its government." When the city

between departments or divisions of government,
which transaction has been entered on the books of
one department but not on those of the other. This
condition is frequently found when the transfer is
made at the close of a fiscal year.
The table shows wide differences as to the dates when
the fiscal years of the various cities close. These dif
ferences complicate the work of showing comparable
statistics, especially in cities which have several inde
pendent divisions of government closing their accounts
on different dates. In a few states the statutes fix a
uniform date for the close of the fiscal years of all city
corporations, and the enactment of similar laws is
being urged in Massachusetts and several other states.
Every state should have a law establishing a uniform
fiscal year for its cities.
For some cities the cash reported as on hand at the
beginning of 1908 differs from that shown in the report
for 1907 as on hand at the close of that year. Such
differences may be due to (1) changes in the fiscal
year, (2) inclusion of funds omitted from former re
23
ports, or (3) errors on the part of city officials or cen
sus agents.
Payments and receipts, classified as real or actual and
nominal.—The aggregate pa}rments and receipts are
segregated in Table 2 into those to or from the public,
which have been defined in the introductory text as
"real or actual/' and those between city departments,
enterprises, or funds, which have been defined as
"nominal." The payments to and receipts from the
public include those for meeting governmental costs,
and in addition three distinct classes, called by the
Bureau of the Census (1) counterbalancing payments
and receipts, (2) payments for and receipts from
investments, and (3) payments and receipts as agent or
trustee. (These terms are discussed in full on page 20.)
In the following table the several subdivisions of these
three classes of payments and receipts are shown,
together with the numbers of the main tables of this
report in which the several classes of transactions are
presented. (For a summary of payments and receipts

DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES.
Of the municipal receipts other than from the sale
of investments and from general transfers, 56.3 per
cent were from revenues, 0.1 per cent from insurance
and sales of real property, 43.2 per cent from issue of
debt obligations, and 0.3 per cent from refunds; of
those from revenues, 73.6 per cent were from taxes
and general revenue, 7.9 per cent from special assess
ments, 1.1 per cent from privileges, 3 per cent from
departmental services, 10.6 per cent from public
service enterprises, and 2.9 per cent from interest.
An analysis of the various classes of payments and
receipts shown separately in Table 3, with the excep
tion of general transfers, will be found in the table,
or tables, referred to in the heading of the columns
showing the figures for the individual classes, and the
census definitions of the terms used in the headings
appear or are referred to in the text discussion of the
various tables indicated.
TABLE 4.
Payments for general expenses and special service
expenses,—In Table 4 are presented statistics showing
the payments for (1) general expenses—i. e., those
expenses incurred by cities in the exercise of their
general governmental functions, which, as a rule, are
performed for all citizens alike, without any attempt
to measure relative amounts of benefit conferred upon
individuals or to fix compensation therefor—and (2)
special service expenses—i. c., those expenses incurred
in connection with services performed or provided for
individuals by any city department or office other
than a public sendee enterprise. Since the benefits
conferred by such services, together with the costs
thereof, can be apportioned among those for whom
the work is done, special service expenses are to be
classed, theoretically, as commercial expenses—that
is, in the same class with the expenses of invested funds
and of public service enterprises; but the payments
for such expenses, which form less than 5 per cent of
the total included in Table 4, can not in practice be
reported separately from payments for general ex
penses.
Since general expenses are by far the most important
single class of costs of municipal government, com
prising 51.1 per cent of the total (as shown in Table
31), they are given in Table 4 in sufficient detail to
show the relative expense of the several departments
and branches of work in each city, and to provide for
comparisons of the expense for a given object in one
city with the corresponding expense in other cities.
Though the Bureau of the Census has been striving to
perfect its classification of municipal expenses, it
realizes that imperfections still exist in its statistics.
The adoption by many cities of the census classifica
tion has done much to standardize the reports on
expenses, but until all cities adopt a functional
arrangement of accounts it will be impossible to make
25
a perfect analysis and distribution of the costs of
government.
The cost of the service furnished by a municipal
service enterprise, as it appears from the city's books—
based whenever possible on the value of services
rendered and of materials and supplies consumed,
together with allowances for interest on the value of
the plant and for depreciation—is tabulated under
the appropriate head of Table 4; thus the cost of the
service furnished by a municipal street lighting plant
is tabulated under the head " street lighting." In
Table 5 a detailed presentation is given, in which the
actual payments for operating a municipal service
enterprise are shown separately.
Classification oy division of city government paying.—In the columns headed "school districts" and
"oth'er divisions of the government of the city" are
entered payments for expenses of local governments
which are independent of the city corporation but
which exercise some function ordinarily exercised by
the city government itself. The latter column also
includes for eight cities of Group L a portion of the
payments of the counties in which the cities are situ
ated, these payments being included in order to put
the 16 largest cities on a more nearly comparable
basis (see text on Table 2). The "other divisions of
the government of the city" are as follows: Chicago,
111., park and sanitary districts and county govern
ment; Philadelphia, Pa., poor districts; Pittsburg,
Pa., Cleveland, Ohio, Buffalo, N. Y., Detroit, Mich.,
Cincinnati, Ohio, Milwaukee, Wis., Newark, N. J.,
and Denver, Colo., county governments; New Haven,
Conn., Borough of Fair Haven East; Portland,
Oreg., Port of Portland; Kansas City, Kans., park
district; Oakland, Cal., sanitary districts; Peoria and
Springfield, 111., pleasure, driveway, and park dis
tricts; Tacoma, Wash., park board; and Portland,
Me., bridge district and water district.
Of the payments by independent school districts, a
small amount—less than 1 per cent—was paid for
other than educational purposes and hence is tabu
lated under appropriate heads of Divisions I to V of
the classification by departments, offices, and accounts.
The expenses shown for the Port of Portland in Table
4 represent only the general administrative expense
which corresponds to the expense of the "general
government" of &n ordinary city corporation; the
expenses for the operation of its dredges and dry
docks are tabulated in Table 6 as expenses of a public
service enterprise.
This classification of payments for expenses by
division of government paying has been presented for
four years. During this period the percentage of to
tal expenses paid by independent school districts has
increased from 8.8 per cent in 1905, 9.5 per cent in
1906, and 9.7 per cent in 1907 to 9.9 per cent in 1908.

A large number of cities made payments in 1908 for
checking the spread of tuberculosis, and for the care
of patients suffering from that disease. The larger
part of such payments are included in the expenses of
the health departments, though considerable amounts
were paid in support of city hospitals devoted to that
purpose, to hospitals of other civil divisions, and to
private hospitals. The total of such payments, so far
as reported separately, was as follows:

Among the payments for sanitation in the column
"miscellaneous" are included the payments for
expenses of public comfort stations, reported by
fourteen cities and aggregating $48,140, of which
$32,551 was for salaries and wages and $15,589 for
supplies and other miscellaneous expenses. The
cities reporting such stations were Boston, Worcester,
Cambridge, Lawrence, Brockton, and Taunton, Mass.;
Baltimore, Md.; Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio;
Detroit, Mich.; Washington, D. C ; Denver, Colo.;
Duluth, Minn.; and Galveston, Tex. Three other
cities, though reporting no expenses for maintenance
of public comfort stations, were constructing such
stations in 190S and made outlay payments for this
purpose, as shown in the text for Table 8. These
cities were Toledo, Ohio; Pittsburg, Pa.; and Seattle,
Wash. In 190S, therefore, this form of convenience,
though more or less of an innovation in the United
States, was either provided or about to be provided
in seventeen of the one hundred and fifty-eight cities
of over 30,000 population.

No exact statement of the actual cost of furnishing

municipal enterprises can be made until more cities
make allowances for depreciation in the value of their
plants. Table 5 has been prepared with the hope
that a separate statement for these enterprises will

assist in emphasizing the need for more complete and
reliable city records. The Census Bureau realizes
that there are doubtless many undertakings in addi
tion to those shown in Table 5 which would be included
in a complete report.
TABLE
6.
Payments for expenses of invested funds.—Under this
head the Bureau of the Census tabulates the cost of
the administration of sinking and investment funds
and public trust funds for municipal uses where such
cost is reported separately. These costs include the
cost of maintenance of real estate belonging to the
funds. These expenses appear to have been much less
for Philadelphia, Pa., in 1908 than in 1907, though the
decrease reported for that city in the miscellaneous
expenses of funds is due partly to the fact that real
estate taxes, which were formerly included under this
head, are excluded from this table for 1908; this item,
which for 1908 amounted to 8163,445, is in the present
report treated as a general transfer. The report for
1908 includes payments for expenses of invested funds
of counties for Detroit, Mich., S44, and for Newark,
N. J., S67. In most American cities the sinking and
investment funds arc administered by the city treas
urer or comptroller, and in such cases few expenses, if
any, are charged to the account of their management;
the same is true to a less extent of public trust funds.
These facts explain the absence of payments for ex
penses of invested funds from the report of many cities
and the small amounts reported for others.
Payments for expenses of public service enterprises.—
Under this head the Bureau of the Census includes the
payments for the expenses of those departments or
offices of a city which are organized for the purpose
of providing the public, or the public and the city, with
some utility. Enterprises organized mainly for the
purpose of furnishing the city with some public utility
or with some service which, most cities obtain from
private enterprises are classed as "municipal service
enterprises" and are reported in Table 5. The report
for 1908 includes for Pittsburg, Pa., 832,722, and
for Milwaukee, Wis., 835,746, which represent pay
ments for the expenses of public service enteiprises of
counties.
Of the Massachusetts cities of over 30,000 popula
tion, six arc in the metropolitan water district and
obtain the supply of water for their several systems
from the metropolitan waterworks. The metropolitan
system is operated by the state for the benefit of the
cities and towns included within the metropolitan
water district, and all costs of construction, extension,
and maintenance are apportioned among the munici
palities benefited*. These costs are annually assessed
29
against the various cities and towns in three parts:
(a) For the accumulation of sinking funds to redeem
bonds issued for the construction or extension of the
metropolitan system; (6) for interest on such bonds;
and (c) for expense of maintenance. The maintenance
charges are reported in Table 6 under the head of
"all other" expenses of water-supply systems, the
interest is tabulated in Table 7 with the payments for
interest on debt obligations, and the payments for
sinking funds in Table 9 with the payments on account
of debt. An exhibit of the amount of the metropoli
tan water debt chargeable to each city, together with
the annual increase or decrease in such debt for each
city, has not been attempted by the Bureau of the
Census, but the payments made by a city to the state
sinking fund may be considered as a discharge of a
portion of the obligation to the state on this account.
(For the amount of this debt, see column 4 of Table 6,
page 166.) The three classes of payments above referred
to are shown separately in Table VIII. The six cities
for which statistics are presented in this table paid all
of these state charges from the earnings of their watersupply systems.

Payments for interest on debt obligations.—The pay
ments for interest included in Table 7 are exclusive
of those charged to outlays. Payments for interest
charged in the city accounts to outlays are included
in Table 8, and are reported separately in the text for
that table. Included in this table for certain cities
of Group I are payments of the counties containing
these cities, as follows: Chicago, 111., 8349,013; Pitts
burg, Pa., §252,036; Cleveland/Ohio, 869,739; Buf
falo, N. Y., 837,080; Detroit, Mich., 877,193; Cincin
nati, Ohio, 891,182; Milwaukee, Wis., 820,176; and
Newark, N. J., 8280,068.
Of the total amount of interest payments, 94.2 per
cent was reported for the city corporations, 2.3 per
cent for school districts, and 3.5 per cent for other
independent divisions.
The aggregate of all interest payments, other than
those charged to outlays, was S82,272,249. Of this
amount, 811,380,286, or 13.8 per cent, represents trans
fers, or amounts of money paid by the various divi
sions of the government of the city as interest upon
city securities held by the city sinking, investment, and
public trust funds; the money remains in funds devoted
to municipal purposes and constitutes municipal assets.
The total amount paid to the public was 870,891,963, an

increase over the corresponding amount reported for
1907 of S10,425,421, or 17.2 per cent, of which increase
86,074,061, or 58.3 per cent, was contributed by New
York City. There was received during the year as
accrued interest on city bonds sold and as refunds in
correction of interest payments in error 81,231,620,
leaving 869,660,343 as the net payments for interest,
all paid to outside holders of city securities, and in
cluding no duplication of payments and receipts. The
payments in error later corrected by refunds aggre
gated 813,308, as follows: Philadelphia, Pa., 82,463;
Minneapolis, Minn., 87,905; Bridgeport, Conn., 822;
Hoboken, N. J., 8396; Lincoln, Nebr., S36; Mobile,
Ala., 82,362; Newcastle, Pa., 8100; and Knoxville,
Tenn., 824.
From the classification of interest according to the
loans on which it was paid it appears that 68.6 per
cent of the total gross payments represented interest
on loans for general purposes; 5.5 per cent interest on
special assessment loans; and 25.9 per cent interest
on loans for public service enterprises. As a rule, the
interest upon special assessment loans constitutes a
burden not upon the entire municipality, but only
upon the property affected by such Iqans; it is imprac
ticable, however, to make a segregation showing the
amount of such interest collected by the city from
the owners of such property and paid to the holders

of the bonds. In the case of loans for public service
enterprises, the interest on the debt is often charged
against the revenues from the enterprises on account
of which the debt was incurred.
Table 8 for 1907 presented certain data pertaining
to interest rates. Such data are not included in Table
7 for 1908, but a study of these rates on specified
classes of debt will be found in Table 36 and the text
discussion pertaining thereto.

Payments for outlays.—Under " outlays" the Bureau
of the Census includes all costs, paid or payable, in
curred by cities in the purchase of land and in the
purchase or construction of buildings and other struc
tures, equipment, improvements, and additions that
are more or less permanent in character. In this
table are included for certain cities of Group I, outlays
of the counties containing these cities, as follows:
Chicago, 111., SS99,226; Pittsburg, Pa., $1,028,470;
Cleveland, Ohio, SI,099,0S5; Buffalo, N.Y., $359,131;
Detroit, Mich., $85,764; Cincinnati, Ohio, $638,442;
Milwaukee, Wis., S136,261; and Newark, N. J.,
8806,299.
The payments reported in the column headed " other
divisions of the government of the city" for Chicago,
111., were made by the following divisions: Park dis
tricts, S2,474,391; sanitary district, $1,527,607; Cook
County, $S99,226. The payments shown in this col
umn for other cities were made by the following divi
sions of goverment: Pittsburg, Pa., by Allegheny
County; Cleveland, Ohio, by Cuyahoga County; Buf
falo, N. Y., by Erie County; Detroit, Mich., by Wayne
County; Cincinnati, Ohio, by Hamilton County; Mil

Portland, Orcg., by Port of Portland; Kansas City,
Kans., by Park Board; Peoria and Springfield, 111., by
pleasure, driveway, and park districts; Tacoma, Wash,
by Metropolitan Park Board; and Portland, Me.,
$4,057,0S0 by Portland water district and $75,211 by
Portland bridge district.
In 1904, 25.2 per cent of the total outlays were paid
or payable from special assessments; in 1905, 21.4
per cent; in 1906, 23.5 per cent; in 1907, 24.5 per
cent; and in 1908, 21.4 per cent. The purposes of
those outlays of this class that were reported in the
column headed "for all other purposes" are shown
in Table X.
The classification of payments to the public by
object is designed to show, approximately, to what
extent outlays for permanent improvements and
additions are made by contract work, and to what
extent by day labor under the direction of city officials.

by those of Group III, and $1,750,130 by those of
Group IV. The receipts of independent school dis
tricts on account of debt obligations issued aggregated
$14,135,042, of which $6,068,817 was reported by
cities of Group I, S3,564,556 by those of Group II,
$1,724,931 by those of Group III, and S2,776,738 by
those of Group IV.
Investment transfer payments to the sinking, in
vestment, and public trust funds of the several cities
in payment of city debt obligations held by them
amounted to $17,266,571, or 6 per cent of the total
debt payments, as compared with a corresponding
percentage of 13.3 for 1907. These funds purchased
6.7 per cent of the debt obligations issued by the sev
eral cities, the total of such purchases, $33,567,034,
being shown in the table as investment transfer re
ceipts. This percentage shows a decrease from that for
1907, which was 12.9.
The column headed "to public" includes payments
by Massachusetts cities to the state on account of sink
ing funds for redeeming metropolitan sewer, park, and
water loans, and grade-crossing loans. The correspond
ing column in the 1907 report included, also, the paj'ments by these cities to the state on account of armory
loans, w^hich no longer constitute city debt, as the
armories have been purchased by the state.

Classification by source.—The proportion of revenue
derived from the different sources varies widely. In
most cities the greater part of the annual revenue is
derived from general property taxes. Receipts from
business licenses constitute a much larger proportion of
the total revenue of southern cities than of the northern.
Table XII shows the per cent distribution of receipts
from general revenues for the cities reported in five
Northern states, three Southern states, and one West
ern state, as follows:
TABLE 10.
Receipts from general revenues.—General revenues
are the amounts of wealth, unconditioned upon the per
formance of any specific service to the individual con
tributor, provided or obtained as the compulsory or
voluntary contributions of private individuals, cor
porations, or other civil divisions, for defraying the
general costs of government. The greater portion of
these revenues are derived from taxes; the remainder
are obtained from fines and forfeits, gifts, donations,
grants, and subventions. In the report of 1908 the
Bureau of the Census includes for certain cities of
Group I receipts of the counties containing these TABLE XII.—Per cent distribution of receipts from general revenues

General property taxes.—Receipts from general prop
erty taxes are reported in the table under the two
heads "original levies" and "penalties.'1
Receipts
from general and specific levies of general property
taxes are not presented separately in this table, but
the specific or special levies are shown in the discussion
of Table 28. Under the head'' penalties'' are included
receipts from so-called penalties and from interest in
excess of the legal rate on deferred taxes.
Special property and business taxes.—Under this
designation the Bureau of the Census includes all reve
nue receipts from taxes other than general property
and poll taxes. Special property taxes are those for
which the method of assessing the property or collect
ing the tax differs from the methods employed in the
taxation of the property of the average individual.
Business taxes are taxes upon business transactions,
and not upon the property employed in the business;
they include taxes on the gross earnings of public
service corporations when the tax levies are fixed and
imposed by general statute. Similar payments made
in accordance with the terms of the franchise of the
corporation (thus representing a contractual relation
between the parties) are tabulated in Table 11 as
receipts from public service privileges.
Of the 158 cities covered by this investigation, 97
reported receipts from special property and business
taxes amounting to $12,686,929. Of this amount, the
12 cities of New York received 85,322,109, or 41.9 per
cent, and the 20 cities of Massachusetts $3,533,712, or
2.8 per cent, the remaining 65 cities reporting only
30.2 per cent of the total.
A brief statement of the character of the tax receipts
reported under this head is given below. The states
are arranged alphabetically, and the cities in each
state are referred to in the order of their .size.

of the largest amount of all goods, wares, merchandise, tools, ma
chinery, etc., on hand or under control at any one time between
the first Monday in March and thefirstMonday in June of each
year. The business tax—which, though locally called a license,
does not conform to the census definition of that term—was levied
on the aggregate amount of sales during the preceding year. The
state collects a tax of 2 per cent on the gross premium receipts of
foreign insurance companies. This is distributed biennially to the
counties of the state and the city of St. Louis on the basis of the
school enumeration. The county clerks apportion a part of the
amounts received to the cities situated within the respective coun
ties, on the same basis, retaining for the county such part of the total
receipts as corresponds to the proportion which the school popula
tion outside of the cities represents of that of the entire county.
Kansas City received $44,904 from special property and business
taxes, of which $18,413 was from the foreign insurance tax, and
$26,491 from the railroad school tax. The railroad school tax is

report except Woonsocket, R. L, and Joliet, 111.; in the
latter city the fines are retained by the police magis
trate as his fees of office, and no report of their amount
could be obtained. Besides fines imposed by courts
and forfeits of deposits for appearance in court, which
in most cities constitute the greater part of this class
of receipts, there are included under this head fines
imposed on policemen and firemen for violation of
rules or neglect of duty, and also forfeits of bonds and
deposits guaranteeing the fulfillment of contracts, the
good faith of bids, and the performance of certain acts.
Forfeits of bonds and deposits for the fulfillment of
contracts, the good faith of bids, and the performance
of specified acts were reported by 31 cities, and aggre

Subventions, grants, and gifts.—The total amount of
subventions and grants received from other civil
divisions was $28,628,317, of which 810,408,529, or
37
67.8 per cent, was for education. In comparing the
amounts shown in the column headed "for education,"
it is essential that the character of the municipal
organizations in the several cities be taken into
account. For example, Los Angeles,* CaL, received
52.7 per cent more for this purpose than San Fran
cisco, though the latter city is much larger than the
former.
The figures for Los Angeles included
8508,243, received from the state, and 8521,299, re
ceived from the county, while all of the receipts shown
under this head for San Francisco, $674,194, were
received from the state—an amount corresponding to
the receipts from the county in the case of Los Angeles
being received in San Francisco as original taxes,
because in the latter city the city and county govern
ments are combined.
Of the 158 cities reported, there were only 8 which
did not receive grants for education. . Of the grant of
86,226,219 made by the United States Government to
the District of Columbia, and reported for the city of
Washington.in the column headed "for other pur
poses," 81,418,869 was, however, used for school pur
poses. In the cities of Savannah, Augusta, and
Macon, Ga., Mobile, Ala., and Jacksonville, Fla., the
schools are under county government, and no exact
segregation of transactions for schools could be secured.
In Boston and Chelsea, Mass., the dog tax, from which
subventions for education are derived in Massachu
setts, is retained directly by the cities instead of being
paid over to the county as in the case of other cities.
Of the 158 cities covered by this report, 104 reported
gifts received from individuals and corporations to be
applied to expenses, aggregating $1,646,854. Theseconsisted of (a) assessments, percentages of salaries,
dues, etc., for police pension funds, $567,001, reported

TABLE 13.
Receipts by municipal service enterprises.—In census
reports prior to that for 1907 an}T receipts by municipal
service enterprises were included with departmental
receipts. But, as stated in the text for Table 5, the
Census Bureau wishes to emphasize the need for more
data on the cost of operating such enterprises, and
additional tables on this subject have therefore been
presented in the reports for 1907 and 1908.
The allowances for depreciation are made more to
call attention to this factor in accounting than to
attempt an accurate calculation of operating costs.
Whenever city officials furnished figures for deprecia
tion or for interest on the value of the plant, such
figures have been presented in the table; in all other
cases depreciation has been computed at 7 per cent of
the reported value of the system, and the interest on
the value of the system has been computed at the
average rate of interest on funded debt reported by
the respective cities. The cities in which the officials
furnished estimates for both depreciation and interest
were: Pittsburg (for the asphalt repair plant), Indian
apolis, Omaha, Grand Rapids, and Lincoln. A few
other cities, as Nashville, include the interest on out
standing bonds among the expenses of their municipal
service enterprises.
TABLE 14.
Receipts from revenues of public service enterprises.—
The report for 1908 includes, for two cities of Group I,
receipts of public service enterprises of counties, as
follows: Pittsburg, Pa., $41,026, and Milwaukee, Wis.,
$46,405.
The statistics of public service enterprises are de
fective in consequence of the following facts: First, in
most cities the method of accounting is faulty in that
it does not give credit to enterprises for materials fur
nished or services rendered by them to the various
departments and to other public utility enterprises of
the city government; second, in those cities crediting
their enterprises for materials or services so furnished,
there is no uniform method of determining the amounts
to be credited. These defects are evident when a
thorough study of the finances of any public service
DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES.
enterprise is undertaken. The only remedy for these
defects is the adoption, by officials in charge of munici
pal accounting, of a uniform system of giving credit to
enterprises for utilities furnished by them to the de
partments and to other public service enterprises of
the city government. Those cities which in 1908 gave
credit to their enterprises for such utilities are indi
cated in Table 14 by entries in the column for "service
transfers."
Service transfers formed 1.9 percent of all receipts of
public service enterprises reported in Table 14 for 1908,
as compared with 1.6 per cent as shown in the corre
sponding table for 1907. In some cities service transfer
receipts formed a large percentage of the total reported.
In Bay City, Mich., they formed 22.6 per cent; in
Woonsocket, R. I., 21.7 per cent; in Tacoma, Wash.,
18.2 per cent; in Pueblo, Colo., 17.1 per cent; and in
Yonkers, N. Y., 16.9 per cent. In eight other .cities
more than 10 per cent of the total revenues of public
service enterprises represented service transfers.
In the classification of revenues of public service
enterprises by source, the receipts from fees, charges,
rents, and salds are the same in character as the de
partmental receipts shown under the same heads in
Table 12. Under rates arc reported the receipts de
rived from the furnishing of public utilities, such as
water, gas, and electricity* Under tolls are reported
receipts from ferry and bridge tolls. Under manu
factures arc reported the receipts from the sale of arti
cles manufactured by industries maintained in penal
41
and charitable institutions, and receipts from the sale
of like products of other industries. Under permits
are reported amounts received from the issue of per
mits by public service enterprises; in most instances,
such permits are issued by the water-supply enterprises
for the privilege of making connections with the main
pipes.
Of all the public service enterprises, the watersupply systems are the most important. The total pay
ments for expenses and receipts from revenues of these
systems in the 147 cities reported for the years 1902
to 1908 were as follows:

$13,212,148, or 32.1 per cent. The payments for ex

DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES.
Included in the column headed "receipts from sales
of land and buildings" are the receipts of 15 of the
cities of Massachusetts from the state for armories
purchased in accordance with chapter 526 of the acts
of 1907 and chapter 373 of the acts of 1908, the con
veyance price being, in the case of each city, the total
amount previously paid to the state as assessments for
the armory loan sinking fund, plus a 3 per cent accu
mulation, less the rentals previously received from
the state. The amounts thus received were as follows:
Boston, $182,203; Worcester, $22,765; Fall River,

TABLE
17.
Private trust funds and accounts,—In certain cases
cities receive and hold money under conditions which
create implied private trusts. The trusts of this kind
most frequent^- met with in the financial adminis
tration of cities concern the estates of deceased per
sons held in trust for unknown heirs, or moneys
deposited as guaranty of contracts. Sometimes the
moneys held under these private trusts arc set aside
in special private trust funds, and sometimes they
are represented by private trust accounts. Private
trust funds arc distinguishable from private trust
accounts only by the method of caring for the cash held
in trust. That of a private trust fund is deposited
subject to order in the name of the particular trust,
while that of a trust account is covered into the city
treasury, and an individual account is opened there
for. In a number of cities, however, but little atten
tion is given to the proper recording of transactions
affecting private trusts, the receipts and payments
frequently being entered upon the books as ordinary
city revenues and expenses. The absence of a proper
record of these temporary transactions, in which the
municipality acts in the capacity of trustee, leads not
only to confusion and irregularity, but sometimes even
to defalcation.
Besides the cities shown in Table 17, numerous
others, in fact, had incurred private trust liabilities,
but, owing to lack of a proper method of accounting,
no record thereof was available. An improvement
in the methods of accounting for such funds and
accounts is indicated by the increased number re
ported from year to year. For the fiscal year 1906
private trust funds and accounts were reported by
99 cities and involved at the close of the year an
aggregate amount of $12,382,258; for 1907 such funds
and accounts were reported by 105 cities and involved
an aggregate amount at the close of the year of
$11,572,226; while for 1908 such funds and accounts
were reported by 113 cities, the liabilities represented
43
by them at the close of the year aggregating $12,282,104. Included in the cash, cash credits, and
investments at the close of 1908 for certain cities of
Group I are certain amounts in care of the counties
containing these cities, as follows: Chicago, 111.,
$107,587; Pittsburg, Pa., $27; Cleveland, Ohio, $431;
Buffalo, N. Y., S8,162; and Cincinnati, .Ohio, $6,142.
In Table 17 the receipts and payments are not
shown separately for funds and accounts, the trans
actions of these two forms of trusts being consolidated.
The total cash credits of the private trust accounts
are, however, shown separately, as well as the amount
of investments and cash in the private trust funds.
TABLES 18 AND
19.
Public trust funds.—Cities frequent^ receive dona
tions and bequests for what the statutes and court
decisions have denominated "charitable uses." In
most cases the purpose of the donation or bequest is
to extend in certain directions aid in excess of what
the city might deem practicable to expend on its own
account; in a smaller number of instances the dona
tions or bequests are to be applied to purposes which
are other than municipal in their nature and for
which the city can not make appropriations.
Public trust funds of the first-mentioned class are
established for objects of charity, education, pensions,
and other public benefits; and those of the second
class are for carrying out purposes which are in their
nature private, but the fulfillment of which, because
of its extending over a long period of time or being
continued in perpetuity, is intrusted to municipalities
as constituting convenient agencies for accomplishing
the desired object. Those held for the application
of their proceeds to purposes which are other than
municipal in their nature and for which the cities can
not make appropriation from revenues are designated
trust funds for nonmunicipal uses, and those designed
for city uses are termed trust funds for municipal uses.
In the case of the greater number of these funds the
income alone is applicable for the purposes for which
the funds are created. In the case of a few both
principal and income may be used for the purpose of
the trust.
The best way of caring for all public trust moneys is
by a "trust fund," as described in the text for Table 17.
In some cities the public trust-fund cash, although
applicable only to the specific purposes of the trusts,
has been merged with general city balances, and the
transactions are not as clearly set forth as would seem
essential to correct administration and accounting. In
the majority of cities the transactions are properly
recorded and kept entirely distinct from ordinary
municipal transactions and accounts.
Public trust funds for nonmunicipal uses.—The funds
reported in Table 18 are received and held for the appli
cation of their proceeds to purposes that are not mu-

STATISTICS OF CITIES.
nicipal, and for which the municipality does not make
appropriations. In Massachusetts and a few other
states the cities are not only authorized but directed
to accept moneys in trust to guarantee the care of
specified monuments and graves in cemeteries. The
acceptance of such moneys creates an express public
trust and makes the city a trustee in the same way
that a private individual or corporation becomes a
trustee under corresponding circumstances. The ac
ceptance of such a trust creates a debt liability for the
amount received, and such liabilities should be shown
in accounts and reports.
Of the 158 cities covered by the present report there
were 35 that reported public trust funds for nonmunicipal uses; of these 16 were in Massachusetts, 3 in
New York, 3 in Connecticut, 2 in Rhode Island, 2 in
Ohio, 2 in Michigan, and 1 each in Maine, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illi
nois, and Utah. All of the 35 cities reported public
trust funds for the care of lots and graves in ceme
teries, and 4 reported funds for other nonmunicipal
uses, as follows: New Haven, Conn., a contribution
from the G. A. R., reported as a memorial tablet fund;
Cambridge, Mass., a fund of $10,000, received by
bequest in 1864, the income to be used to promote
the cause of temperance; Lowell, Mass., a fund of
$1,000, the income to be paid to the trustees of a
church for the benefit of its Sunday school; and
Portland, Me., a fund the income of which is to be ap
plied to the purchase of medals for high school pupils
and the assistance of a student in Bowdoin College.
Public trust funds for municipal uses.—The accept
ance by a city of donations and bequests for municipal
uses acts as an appropriation thereof, and the money
or wealth so received, if accounted for in a legal sense,
would be shown in the accounts or reports as " appro
priated." To distinguish such appropriations from
the ordinary governmental appropriations they are
usually set apart in special funds denominated "public
trust funds." Wealth belonging to these funds con
stitutes a governmental asset, and the acceptance
thereof creates no liability other than the liability
involved in the ordinary governmental appropriation.
The municipal purpose most often subserved by trust
funds is the provision of pensions for policemen and
firemen who have suffered disability or completed a
specified term of service, the gratuities usually extend
ing to the families of those who have died in the service
or after retirement. The pensioning of teachers is
finding favor in recent years, and several cities report
public trust funds for this purpose. A number of
cities, mostly those of the Eastern states, report public
trust funds for charitable uses, such as the care of the
poor and defective classes.
Included in Table 19 are statistics of certain funds,
mostly pension funds, which are supported largely, or
altogether, by appropriations and by certain kinds of
municipal revenues assigned to them by statute, by
charter provision, or by ordinance. Although these
so-called funds are in their origin and nature more
nearly allied to administrative accounts than to trust
funds, they are assigned to the latter class in accordance
with the general usage of American cities..
Of the 158 cities having a population of over 30,000
in 1908,112 reported 574 public trust funds for munic
ipal uses. While the census report for 1907 shows that
in that year 106 cities reported but 379 such funds, the
difference in the number of funds reported is due to the
fact that in 1907 and former years funds for one purpose
were grouped together as a single fund, while for 1908
the attempt was made to show the number of individ
ual funds. Of the 574 trust funds 141 were for pen
sions, 123 for libraries, 109 for charities, 106 for educa
tion, 39 for hospitals, 7 for parks, 5 for cemeteries, 6
for monuments, and the remaining 38 for miscellaneous
and unreported objects.
Of the pension and relief funds 63 were for firemen,
53 for police, and 4 for both firemen and police. In
most instances a city having a pension fund for firemen
has one for policemen also. Of the teachers' retirement
funds, 18 in number, 10 were in cities of New York,
Chicago and Philadelphia reported 2 each, and Boston,
Cleveland, Detroit, and Cincinnati 1 each. Cleveland
had, also, 2 pension funds for sanitary police, and
New York City had 1 fund for employees of the health
department.
The public trust funds for the use of libraries are
usually for the purchase of books; in some instances,
however, the funds were for constructing, improving,
or maintaining buildings. Of the 123 funds for libra
ries, 34 were in Boston, Mass.
Trust funds for charitable uses are most numerous
in Philadelphia, Pa., and Boston and Salem, Mass.
The greater number arc for outdoor poor relief, some
for general and some for specific application. Trusts
for assistance of almshouses are numerous. Among
the specific charitable uses to which the trusts are ap
plied are the support of orphans' homes, assistance to
poor children, maintenance of a free dispensary, aid to
the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
loans, excursions for poor children, and purchase of
shoes for indigent school children.
The public trust funds which may be classified as for
education were found in greatest number in Boston,
Chicago, Philadelphia, and Cambridge, and were usu
ally for books, medals, prizes, or scholarships. Four of
these trusts were for trade schools.
All of the 34 hospital funds are in Massachusetts,
Boston Reporting 17 and Worcester 17.
Of the 5 cemetery trusts for municipal uses, 1 is de
voted to a cemetery entrance, while the other 4 are for
perpetual care of lots, although for most cities funds
of this latter class are shown in Table 18 as for nonmunicipal uses.
DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES.
The diverse objects to which public trust funds for i
municipal uses are applied may be judged from the fol
lowing unusual uses, found among the 38 miscellaneous
objects for which such funds are held: Immigrant re
lief; medals for inventors; medals for firemen; loans
to artificers; street cleaning, lighting, and repairing;
Pasteur or other treatment for hydrophobia; music
for the public; trees in parks; public celebrations;
drinking fountains; building funds; and observa
tories.
Of the total assets of these various public trust
funds for municipal uses reported by the different
cities at the close of the fiscal year, §15,179,867 con- I
sisted of investments in securities of the city by which
the funds were held and $45,663,752 represented
investments in other securities and real estate, while
$3,444,467 was in cash. At the close of the year 1908
44 cities reported for public trust funds for municipal
uses no investments in city securities, 27 no invest
ments other than in city securities, and 14 no invest
ments of an\r kind. The receipts from interest or
other earnings derived from investments and cash
balances were $3,417,017—an average of 5.45 per cent
on the nominal or par value of the assets at the begin
ning of the year, of 5.32 per cent on the assets at the
close of the year, and of 5.38 per cent on the average
amount of assets held during the year.
The miscellaneous receipts from the public credited to
the public trust funds for municipal uses are of many
classes. Donations, contributions, and assessments
make up the greater part of the total. Contributions
or assessments from firemen and policemen are credited
to these miscellaneous receipts. Considerable amounts
are derived from taxes. In cities in New York the 2
per cent tax on foreign fire insurance premiums is for
the use of the public trust funds for firemen's pensions;
and in cities in New Jersey and in Minneapolis,
Minn., and Indianapolis, Ind., similar receipts were
reported as revenues of firemen's relief funds. Among
other receipts of these trust funds are fines and salary
deductions, refunds, rewards, receipts from sales and
permits, deposits for perpetual care of lots in ceme
teries, license fees (dog, liquor, and business), and loans.
Of the 574 public trust funds for municipal uses
reported for the year 1908, all but 23 reported pay
ments to the public for objects of the trust.
45
real estate incidentally acquired and yielding little or
no income are not included in this table, but are
reported in Tables 4 and 12, while the values of such
properties are shown in Table 26. In some instances
the assets of investment funds consist of bonds or
stocks acquired by the city in consideration of financial
aid or grants to railroads or other public service corpc.
rations; in a few instances they consist of real estate
held for the purpose of securing profit from rents or
from an increase in value; in Philadelphia the gas
works and in Cincinnati the Cincinnati and Southern
Railroad are here included, since thf cities own these
properties but lease them to private corporations;
while in other cases they consist of bonds or mortgages
received in exchange for real estate and held as invest
ments until maturity or awaiting a favorable market.
In a majority of the cities reported in Table 20 the
investment funds are comparatively small. In some
instances they are doubtless of a temporary nature,
being held merely for a favorable opportunity to dis
pose of the securities or real estate, after which the
proceeds are to be covered into the general treasury.
In some cities permanent investment funds are estab
lished to enable the cities to carry their own fire risks
on municipal buildings, an amount equal to the
premiums usually charged by fire insurance companies
being set aside each year for the creation of a fund
from which fire losses may be paid as they occur. Such
funds are usually invested in profitable securities, and
therefore can properly be classed as " investment
funds." Funds for the perpetual care of cemeteries
are established by some cities from a percentage of the
receipts from the sale of lots, and in some cities funds
are invested during a period of accumulation for the
purchase, construction, or equipment of buildings or
other municipal permanent properties, and are here
treated as investment funds.
Of the 158 cities covered by the investigation for
1908, 52 reported 74 investment funds with assets
aggregating $71,611,053, an increase of $1,340,447
over the amount reported for 1907. This increase is
more or less uniformly distributed among the different
groups of cities. For 1908 investment funds were
reported for 7 cities for which none were shown in the
1907 report, the total assets of these funds amounting
to $865,865. Of those cities reporting such funds for
1907, 2 did not report them for 1908; that for
Albany, N. Y., was closed during. 1907, and the assets

STATISTICS OF CITIES.
appropriations made by the city, together with in
terest on the investments held by the funds, consti
tute the principal sources of receipts of such funds.
In some cities certain classes of revenues other than
taxes are specifically set apart for these funds. The
term "sinking fund" is frequently applied to a bond
and interest account or fund supported by current
appropriations sufficient to meet the year's demands
on account of the maturity of bonds and interest
coupons. Such accounts or funds, carrying no accumu
lations from year to year, may be closed out or may
carry forward only small balances at the close of the
fiscal year. As the objects of the latter class of funds
are similar to those of sinking funds proper, they are
here treated as sinking funds whenever so designated
"upon the city books.
In some states municipalities are required by statute
to accumulate in sinking funds assets sufficient for the
amortization of bonds at maturity, a separate fund
being provided for each bond issue. In other states
the maintenance of sinking funds, though not obliga
tory, seems to be the common practice, except in those
cities in which the bonded loans are confined strictly
to serial issues, since 137 of the 158 cities covered by
the investigation for 1908 reported such funds. Of
the 21 cities without sinking funds, the majority
reported no funded debt except serial bonds, which,
being redeemed in annual installments from moneys
directly appropriated therefor, do not require sinking
fund provisions.
Of the 137 cities reporting sinking funds, 32 reported
cash transfers from these funds to the general city
treasury for payment of debt; 36, cash transfers for
other purposes; 79, payments to public for redemption
of debts; and 49, payment of interest. Among the
assets of the sinking funds 91 cities reported city
securities, and 46, other securities and investments.
For the greater number of cities the sinking funds
are prudently and economically administered, either
by city officials, who act as ex officio trustees, or by
independent boards of commissioners appointed for that
purpose. In a small number of cities, however, the
cash accumulations in the funds have been diverted to
current city expenses, with the result that the so-called
assets of the funds are mere accounting entries, and
therefore do not constitute true offsets to the bonded
debt.
Table 21 includes for certain cities of Group I certain
statistics of sinking funds of the counties containing
those cities. The assets at the close of the fiscal year
1908 thus included were as follows: Pittsburg, Pa.,
$847,651; Detroit, Mich., 8315,667; Cincinnati, Ohio,
$933,193; Milwaukee, Wis., 848,344; and Newark,
N. J., $1,112,686.
At the close of the fiscal year 1908 the aggregate
assets of the sinking funds reported in Table 21 equaled
18,5 per cent of the total indebtedness of the 158 cities
covered by this investigation as shown in Table 22 as
compared with 19.2 per cent in 1907 and 20 per cent in
1906. The percentage which the value of the sinking
fund assets represented of the aggregate amount of
funded debt was 21.2 in 190S as compared with 21.8
in 1907 and 22.6 in 1906. The decrease in the ratio of
sinking fund assets to the debt, both total and funded,
is perhaps due to the fact that in later years a larger
percentage of the bonds issued were serial and required
no sinking fund accumulation.
Since Table 21 is confined to sinking fund transac
tions and assets and does not include the general city
cash and other assets available at the close of the year
for the redemption of special assessment, revenue, or
other unfunded loans, the table should be compared
with the funded debt statements rather than with
those pertaining to the aggregate indebtedness.
TABLE 22.
Debts classified by authority incurring.—Of the total
debt at the close of the fiscal year 1908 of the 158
cities covered by this report, 94.5 per cent was in
curred by the city corporation, 2.2 per cent by inde
pendent school districts, and 3.3 per cent by other
authorities having power to incur local debt inde
pendently in a territory which is in most instances
included within the city limits, or to which the city
contributes all but a small fraction of the revenues.
The debts shown in the column headed " other divisions
of the government of the city" were incurred by
the following divisions of the city government or
independent governments: County government,
S8,636,316 in Chicago, and the total amount reported
for Pittsburg, Pa., Cleveland, Ohio, Buffalo, N. Y.,
Detroit, Mich., Cincinnati, Ohio, Milwaukee, "Wis.,
Newark, N. J., and Denver, Colo.; park or park and
driveway districts, $12,056,144 in Chicago, 111.,,and
the total amount reported for Kansas City, Kans.,
Peoria, 111., Tacoma, Wash., and Springfield, 111.;
sanitary districts, $20,453,871 in Chicago, 111., and
the total amount reported for Oakland, Cal.; poor dis
trict, the total amount reported for Philadelphia,
Pa.; Port of Portland, the total amount reported for
Portland, Oreg.; bridge district, $375,000 in Portland,
Me.; and water district, $4,039,000 in Portland, Me.
Debts classified by provisions made for their pay
ment—Classified by the provisions made for their
payment, the outstanding city debts are shown sep
arately in Table 22, under two principal heads—
"funded or fixed debts'' and "current debts." The
first class is not subdivided, but the current debts are
tabulated under the four subheads "special assess
ment loans," "revenue loans," "outstanding war
rants," and " all other."
(1) Under "funded or fixed debts" are tabulated
(a) those debts which have a number of years to

run and for the amortization of which no assets
other than those of sinking funds have as yet been
specifically authorized or appropriated; and (6) those
on which interest is to be paid in perpetuity. The
firsjb class of debts includes bonds, corporation stock,
certificates, and other long-term debt obligations
receiving various local designations, and the second
class includes those special debt obligations which
are created when a city converts to general public
uses money or other property received at the creation
of public trusts and assumes the annual payment of
the interest on the amount so converted. The funded
or fixed debts of cities are always the amounts of
their debt obligations which, by reason of the con
ditions under which they are incurred, are liens upon
all the taxable property within the city.
Special debt obligations to public trust funds,
aggregating §842,241, were reported from 16 cities, as
follows:

(2) In the column headed "special assessment
loans'' are shown those obligations which were incur
red for the purpose of financing public improvements
whose costs are to be paid, wholly or in major part,
from the proceeds of special assessments. These obli
gations may be long or short term bonds or certifi
cates, or outstanding warrants payable at a specified
time.
(3) The amounts shown in the third column, headed
"revenue loans" represent (a) short-term obligations
incurred with the distinct pledge or general under
standing that they are to be met from future collec
tions of specified current revenue, other than special
assessments; (6) similar short-term obligations to be
met from the issue of bonds already authorized; and
(c) overdrafts by the financial officers of the city.
These loans and obligations have various designations,
as "revenue loans," "revenue bonds," "anticipation
tax warrants," and "temporary loans."
(4) In the fourth column, headed "outstanding
warrants," are included the amounts of warrants,
orders, vouchers, and audits due and unpaid at the
close of the year, except so-called warrants to be paid
from special assessments which are included in the
column preceding. Warrants or orders against cash
derived from special assessment loans are not them
selves special assessment loans, but are tabulated
together with other outstanding warrants.
Outstanding warrants were reported by more than
two-thirds of the 158 cities, including 11 out of 16
51151°—U
47
cities in Group I; 23 out of 30 cities in Group II; 35
out of 47 cities in Group III; and 43 out of 65 cities
in Group IV. In some cities warrants are issued only
when personally culled for and thus when they may
be immediately presented for redemption; in others,
the treasurer's books are kept open for some days or
weeks after the close of the fiscal year, so as to charge
to each year all payments of the costs of that year; in
others, the treasurer sets aside cash in "suspense
accounts" for the redemption of unpaid warrants,
which may be thus treated as "paid" in the appro
priation accounts. In several cities the "outstanding
warrants" are of two classes: (a) "unclaimed audits,"
for which orders have not been given by the auditor
because not yet called for, and (&) "unpaid vouchers,"
where the orders have been duly rendered but not yet
redeemed.
(5) In the column headed "all other" are tabulated
debts of several distinct kinds, which include unpaid
judgments and all other demand or short-term debt
obligations not belonging in any of the three preceding
columns, also obligations on mortgage security, and
a few others to be described below. Of the total
amount of 88,035,630 reported under this head, a
single item—$5,387,805 reported for New Orleans, La.,
as "interest on premium bonds"—represents 67 per
cent. These bonds were issued in 1876 on condition
that no interest should be paid until maturity, when
interest at the rate of 5 per cent from the date of issue
would be added to the principal. The principal now
outstanding is 83,234,900 ($1,765,100 having matured
and been paid) on which the $5,387,805 is accumu
lated interest. Besides New Orleans, La., Philadel
phia, Pa. is the only city which reported debt obliga
tions representing unpaid interest, the amount reported
being $14,000.
For the following cities the obligations included
under the head "all other" consist exclusively of
unpaid judgments: Chicago, 111., Milwaukee, Wis.,
St. Paul, Minn., Scranton, Pa., San Antonio, Tex.,
Youngstown, Ohio, Lancaster and McKeesport, Pa.,
Birmingham, Ala., Springfield, 111., Jacksonville, Fla.,
Joplin, Mo., and Fitchburg, Mass. Obligations of
this character were also reported for the following
cities: New Orleans, La., $129,707; Denver, Colo.,
$93,258; Syracuse, N. Y., $13,341; Bridgeport, Conn.,
$2,700, Des Moines, Iowa, $707; York, Pa., $20,792;
Rockford, 111., $3,000; Knoxville, Tenn., S45; and
Elmira, N. Y., S100.
For the following cities the obligations represented
by the amounts reported in this column represent
exclusively loans on mortgage security: Louisville,
Ky., New Haven, Conn., Atlanta, Ga., Wilmington,
Del., Waterbury, Conn., Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Houston,
Tex., Altoona, Pa., Sioux City, Iowa, Allentown, Pa.,
Atlantic City, N. J., and New Britain, Conn. Such
loans were also reported by other cities as follows:

TABLE XX.—Debt reported in Table 2S as issued for miscellaneous
purposes: 1908.
Funded and special assessment debt, classified by pur
pose ofhsue.—Table 23 is an exhibit of those portions
of the total city indebtedness above defined as *'funded
debt" and "special assessment loans/ 7 classified ac
cording to purpose of issue, as stated in the local
official records.
The debt most satisfactorily classified by purpose of
issue is that incurred for the leading public service
enterprises—water-supply and lighting systems. So
far as other enterprises of this class are concerned the
classification is defective, and the debt created for
municipal service enterprises is probably not com
pletely segregated. In the case of that created for
general purposes the division is thoroughly made for
very few cities (as is plainly shown by the fact that
the amount reported as issued for "combined or un
reported purposes" forms 13.5 per cent of the total for
this class of debt), while probably the greater part of
the debt reported as issued for funding and refunding
belongs properly in preceding columns.
The terms "local improvement/' "street improve
ment/' and "general improvement/' employed in the
designations of large bond issues in many cities, have
not been employed in Table 23, the endeavor having
been to obtain, where possible, a more precise state
ment of the character of the improvement for which
each debt was originally incurred. Issues of bonds
described as "refunding" bonds have in like manner
been classified according to the purposes of issue of
the debt they replaced, where these purposes could be
discovered without too elaborate a search of the
earlier records; and the amount given under this head
in Table 23, representing 4.5 per cent of the grand
total of funded and special assessment debt, shows
only what could not be so classified. This amount is
$2,752,858 less than that shown in the corresponding
column of Table 25 of the report for 1907.
The designation "funding" is applied to bonds
issued to meet unpaid claims and judgments and out
standing warrants, but the column so headed doubtless includes many obligations that would more prop
erly be characterized as issued for the purpose of re
funding, and as such represent debt originally incurred
for purposes indicated in preceding columns. The debt
reported as issued for.funding purposes amounts in all
to 8.5 per cent of the grand total, or §25,984,424 more
than appeared in the corresponding column of Table
25 for 1907. The greater part of this difference is due
to difference in classification for the cities of Group I.
In the exhibit below (Table X X ) that portion of
the debt issued for general purposes which is included
in the column headed "miscellaneous purposes" is
further classified by purpose. It appears from this
table that municipal aid to railways and the con
struction of hospitals, asylums, and almshouses are
by far the most important purposes not shown sepa
rately in Table 23.

A more precise classification of debt obligations,
according to purpose of issue, by the several cities, is
still to be desired. This.is particularly the case with
the special assessment debt, of whose total as shown
in Table 22, 895,827,012, no less than $81,155,013, or
84.7 per cent, has to be classed as issued for "com
bined or unreported purposes.,, It is gratifying that
the officials of some important cities are taking an
increased interest in the matter, and promise fuller
and more definite statements of their various debt
obligations in the immediate future, and it is to be
hoped that their example may be generally followed.
TABLE 24.
Funded and special assessment debt, classified by
year of maturity.—Table 24 shows the debt obligations
for which statistics are given in Table 23, classified
according to year of maturity for twenty years next
following 1908. For §909,436,502, or 46.9 per cent
of the total, the year of maturity was later than 1928;
and for §25,410,201, or 1.3 per cent, it was not re
ported. Of this latter amount $3,234,900 represented
the principal of "premium bonds" in New Orleans,
mentioned in the discussion of Table 22, for which the
amount to mature each year is determined by lot;
while a considerable part consists of serial bonds for
which the amounts maturing each year were not
distinctly shown.

The debt reported as bearing no interest consisted
of bonds or other obligations due but not yet pre
sented for redemption. The debt bearing interest at
the rate of 1.75 per cent was reported by New York
City; of that bearing interest at the rate of 2 per cent
$3,992,515 was reported by Washington, D. C , and
$3,000 by Albany, N. Y.; and of that bearing interest
at the rate of 2.5 per cent $11,918,200 was reported by
New York City, $467,077 by Providence, R. I., and
$10,579 by Birmingham, Ala. The debt referred to
for Providence was incurred to provide current funds
to replace moneys deposited in a suspended bank;
that for Albany and Birmingham was incurred for
parks; and that for New York and Washington, for
various purposes.
The total interest-bearing debt for which the rates
were reported was $2,061,699,707; this is exclusive of
$6,740,927 that was reported as bearing no interest.
The average rate of interest on this debt was 3.91 per
cent as compared with 3.88 per cent for 1907 and 3.85
per cent for 1906.
TABLE 26.
Character of principal permanent properties of cities.—
The adequate discharge of what, in most civilized com
munities, have come to bo considered governmental
functions requires* the accumulation of many kinds of
property of a more or less permanent character. Of
such property there are two classes, distinguished as
(1) salable property, which may be either productive
or unproductive, and (2) unsalable and unproductive
property, the second class also having the designation
"improvements," while the term " proper ties'' is ap
plied distinctively to the first. An "improvement"
has a value in use but not in exchange, while a "prop
erty" has both species of value. Of the permanent
"properties" owned by cities, investments belonging
to the assets of "invested funds" are shown in Tables
19 to 21. The value of all other public properties is
shown in Table 26, in which for convenience in treat
ment they are classified into land, buildings, and
equipment of departments, miscellaneous real prop
erty, land, buildings, and equipment of municipal
service enterprises, and land, buildings, and equip
ment of public service enterprises. Most of the prop
erties included under the first and third headings are
essential to the conduct of municipal affairs and are
unproductive; that is, any income that may be derived
from them is merely incidental, and forms no factor
in bringing about a decision whether to hold the prop
erty or not. The miscellaneous real property reported
was acquired incidentally to the conduct of governmen
tal business and with no definite purpose of procuring an
income. The properties of public service enterprises
are productive, meaning thereby that they furnish an
income approximately equaling, or exceeding, the cost
of operating and maintaining them.
Valuation of municipal properties.—The importance
of carefully and accurately estimating the value of
public properties is very imperfectly appreciated by
many city officials. In some cities lands and buildings
are valued at their original cost, even though they
may have been purchased many years ago, while in
others the valuation given for the current year may be
that placed upon the same buildings several years
before. The result is that the valuations of public
possessions in one city are often incomparable with
those of another.
The valuation of properties employed in public
service enterprises has received more consideration from
city officials than that of any other class of permanent
public possessions, yet the need of still more exact and
systematic accounting in this respect is very evident,
and the local variations in practical methods with
regard, for example, to the inclusion of the franchise
or privilege value of a public utility supply system
with the physical value of plant and equipment, or to
allowances for depreciation, are very significant. A
closer approach to uniformity of method is needed to
make the financial statement of an enterprise in one
city clearly intelligible to those in charge of a similar
enterprise in another city, so that the experience of
each may be available to all. Further, more regard
should be given to the importance of a full and careful
reckoning of all factors affecting the present value of
municipal possessions, without which a complete
account of their operating costs can not be had, nor an
honest and prudent administration of the public re
sources be assured.

costs of providing, improving, and extending govern
ment properties, by purchase or construction, give rise
to payments for outlays, which for 1908 are given in
Table 8. Inasmuch as the increase in the value of
51
municipal properties from the beginning to the end
of a year should, in theory, correspond approximately
to the outlays during the same year—unless the
method of valuation has changed—a comparative
presentation based on the data for 1908 is of interest.

»Decrease.
From the above table it appears that the increase
in the valuation of all properties from 1907 to 1908
exceeds the outlays reported in Table 8, exclusive of
those for sewers and highways, by $5,481,224. There
is, however, a much closer correspondence between
the increase in valuation and the outlays during the
year than was the case for 1907, when a similar exhibit
showed that 157 out of 158 cities reported a net ex
cess of increase in valuation over outlays amounting
to $42,870,536.
From an examination of the group totals it will be
seen that the figures for 1908 for each group, except
Group II, show an increase in valuation greater than
the payments for outlays. For Group I the increase
in valuation was less than the outlays for the majority
of cities; Cleveland, Ohio, for example, shows a large
decrease, which is accounted for by a revaluation of the
waterworks. This excess of outlays over increase in
valuation for most of the cities in this group is offset
by an excess on the other side of nearly $9,000,000
shown for Newark, N. J., which is occasioned by the
inclusion for the first time in the valuation for this
city, for reasons explained elsewhere in this report, of
a proportion of the value of the properties owned by
the county in which the city is situated. As county
figures are included only for cities of Group I, the
valuation of properties reported for Newark in 1907,
when it was one of the cities of Group II, includes the
value of no county properties.
For Group II payments for outlays were in excess
of the increase in valuation by S3,659,947. Nearly
all of this difference is attributable to a difference in
the method of reporting the valuation of the watersupply enterprise of Cambridge, Mass., the construc
tion costs being reported for 1907, while for 1908 the
valuation placed upon the property by the city asses
sors, which was nearly $3,000,000 less than the con
struction costs, was reported.
Partial explanation for the large excess of increase
in valuation over outlays for Group III is found in the
inclusion in the properties for Oakland, CaL, of tide
lands valued at $5,000,000. These lands were not
listed among the city's assets for 1907, because the
title to them was in litigation.
Comparison of values with funded debt and special
assessment loans.—The costs of governmental proper
ties are met in considerable proportion from loans.
The classification of funded debt and special assess
ment loans by purpose of issue in Table 23 gives a
basis for comparison between outstanding municipal
debts and the value of the properties for which they
were incurred. Unfortunately, the purposes for which
debt was issued are often not stated clearly, so that the
ratio between the value of the lands, buildings, and
equipment of departments and the debt upon such
properties can not be accurately determined. All of
the debt on the properties of departments is included
under the heading of debt " issued for general pur
poses'' or in the columns headed "issued for refund
ing" and " issued for funding" in Table 23. Exclud
ing the amount of funded debt reported as issued for.
"combined or unreported purposes" from the total
debt issued for general purposes the remainder,
$1,048,037,694, may be divided into two parts. One
part, the total debt for sewers and highways plus the
special assessment loans for "'combined or unreported
purposes" (amounting in 1908 to $500,225,774), may
be said to have been issued for public improvements.
The other part, amounting to $547,811,920, or 52.3 per
cent of the total, may be considered as having been
incurred for the properties of departments. But this
is not the entire debt upon such properties as a por
tion of the funded debt issued for "combined or un
reported purposes/' and also a portion of that shown
as issued for refunding or for funding purposes also
doubtless represents debt incurred for properties of
departments. If it be assumed that the same pro
portion of the debt issued for unknown purposes as of
that issued for known purposes was for the properties of
departments, or 52.3 per cent, the total debt issued for
the properties of departments was $716,844,044. The
total valuation of such properties was $1,713,305,976,
52
STATISTICS OF CITIES.
and the ratio of debt to valuation was, therefore, 41.8
per cent. From this reasoning the inference may be
safely drawn that somewhat more than one-half of the
reported valuation of the properties of departments
has already been paid for by the cities from revenues
received.
For municipal service enterprises the ratio of debt
to valuation (40.7 per cent) is slightly lower than it was
for 1907 (41.2 per cent). Since some of the debt
incurred in the acquisition or construction of these
enterprises may have been reported as having been
issued for general purposes, or for refunding or funding,
the ratio would probably be slightly increased if com
plete statistics were available. Considerably more
than one-third of the total valuation of municipal
service enterprises was reported by New York City,
while the same city reported more than one-half of the
total debt issued for such enterprises, the ratio of debt
to valuation in that city being 63.4 per cent. In two
cities, Milwaukee, Wis., and Columbus, Ohio, the debt
incurred for municipal service enterprises remains, as in
1907, greater than the valuation of the properties held
by the enterprises.
The ratio between the debt incurred for water-sup
ply systems and the total valuation of such systems is
of especial interest. The valuation of water-supply
systems reported for 1908 (as shown by Table 26) was
$690,184,199. Against these properties Table 23 shows
a debt of $312,216,444, or 45.2 per cent of the valua
tion, which is an increase over the ratio for 1907, 43.6
per cent. The ratio between the debt of the watersupply system of New York City and the valuation of
the system is 60.7 per cent. Over one-fourth, or 26.9
per cent, of the total debt incurred for this class of
public service enterprises is shown by the same city.
In three cities—San Francisco, Cambridge, and Atlan
tic City—the debt incurred for the water-supply sys
tems was in excess of their valuation.
Properties of departments.—The properties included
under the general heading "land, buildings, and equip
ment of departments" are grouped in 12 subdivisions,
of which one, " refuse disposal plants and properties of
health departments," did not appear in the report for
1907.
Of the valuation reported for departmental properties, amounting to $1,713,305,976, the greatest part,
$799,668,231, or 46.7 per cent, represented the valua
tion of parks, gardens, and playgrounds, of which over
one-half was reported for New York City. Next in
order of value come schools, with a valuation of
$445,997,086, general government buildings, with a
valuation of $154,603,872, and properties of the fire
departments, with a valuation of $74,614,143. Nearly
one-fourth, or 23.2 per cent, of the total valuation for
schools was reported by New York City.
Over one-half of the total valuation, $21,169,353, of
the departmental properties reported under the head
" all other" is shown by New York City. Classified by
I character, over one-half of this total represents the
valuation of armories and rifle ranges. Sixteen cities
reported armories as follows: New York, Philadelphia,
Boston, Baltimore, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Minneapolis,
St. Paul, Richmond, Duluth, Elizabeth, Portland, Me.,
Augusta, Newton, Everett, and Taunton. The de
crease from 1907 to 1908 in the number of cities in
Massachusetts reporting armories is due to the sale of
armories to the commonwealth. (Acts 1907, ch. 526;
1908, ch. 373.)
The valuation of armories reported for Boston,
$93,000, is lower than that given for 1907, partly on
account of the sale above mentioned; and partly
because of an overvaluation for that year. Rifle
ranges are shown for nine cities in Massachusetts.
Electrical department properties and combined po
lice and fire-alarm systems rank next to armories and
rifle ranges among the departmental properties in
cluded under the head "all other," with a total value
of $2,184,032, reported by 22 cities—Pittsburg and
Washington together contributing over one-half of the
total. Nearly as great is the value of municipal baths,
$2,146,785, which were reported by 36 cities, an in
crease of four cities over 1907. The greatest valuation
for this class of properties was reported by Chicago
($408,408) and Boston (8394,900). The remaining
items included under this head were as follows: Other
public buildings, $1,252,134; election booths and vot
ing machines, $683,320; potter's fields and unproduc
tive cemeteries, $663,870; street lights, $476,081; city
engineers' equipment, $319,435; morgues, $115,838;
public comfort stations, $61,322; pounds, $15,103;
and miscellaneous, $528,472. Under the latter head
are included the values reported for various inspection
department properties, law libraries, gymnasiums, fair
grounds and outing camps, dispensary pumps and
wells, harbor master's department, harbor dredging
j properties, life boats, forestry department properties,
| drinking fountains, clocks and bells, a city store, an
s ambulance house, moth department properties, and a
greenhouse.
Real property held as investment.—The column bear
ing this head is intended to show the value of all real
property of the city from which an income is received
j or expected and which does not form a part of any
invested fund or belong to any enterprise or govern
mental department. In many cases such property
consists of land held temporarily for a profitable sale.
One source of such property is a governmental grant or
private bequest, the property coming to the city with
out such conditions as create a trust, and not being
assigned to the park, school, or other departments.
Properties of municipal service enterprises.—Of the
total valuation reported for properties of municipal
service enterprises, $13,413,887, the greatest amount,
$8,271,820, represents the value of electric light sys

TABLE 28.
Assessed valuation.—The valuations given in Table
28 are those of property which is subject to taxation
for purposes of municipal government; in certain
states—notably in Pennsylvania and New York—
these differ somewhat from the valuations on which
taxes for state and county purposes are levied. This
results largely from the fact that certain classes of
property, notably that of corporations, are in .some
states reserved for state taxation only, so that in
cities in these states the valuation of such property
is wholly omitted from the report. In some instances
the assessed valuation of an independent division
of the government of a city, such as a school or park
district, differs from that of the city corporation.
These differences may be due to (1) differences in the
areas of the city corporation and the independent
division, for example, the school districts of most
Ohio cities, the sanitary district of Chicago, and the
bridge district of Portland, Me., include territory out
side the city limits, while some school districts include
only a portion of the territory within the city; (2) a
different basis of assessment, as in Dubuque, Iowa,
where the city makes its own assessments of property
while the school district uses a totally different assess
ment for the same property, which is made by the
county; and (3) differences in the classes of property
subject to taxation, as in St. Louis, where the school
district taxes certain corporation franchises which are
not subject to city taxation. In those cases where the
area of an independent division exceeds that of the
city corporation, it has been found difficult to prepare
a report which would show accurately the data to be
considered as pertaining to the city in distinction
from those pertaining to the portion of the district
outside the city. Under these circumstances, the
Bureau of the Census has laid down the rule that in
making up the report for the government of a city as
a whole the aggregate figures for the various independ
ent divisions should be included, unless the assessed
valuation of the independent division exceeds that
of the city corporation, when computed on a common
basis, by 10 per cent or more. In the latter case the
same percentage of the aggregate figures for the inde
pendent division is to be included as the city valua
tion forms of the valuation of the independent divi
sion. Under this rule the total valuation and levies
of all school districts have been used with the excep
tion of those in Joliet, 111., and Pueblo, Colo. In
certain of the cities of Group I the county taxes levied
Within the city are included in Table 28 for reasons
stated in the text for Table 2.
The table gives separately the valuations subject
to general property taxes and those subject to special
property taxes for the city corporation and for each
independent division. The definitions of general
55
property taxes and special property taxes are given
in the introductory text on page 18.
The classification of property belonging to rail
roads, telegraph companies, and a number of similar
corporations, varies in the different states; in some
states such properties are classified as real, in some as
personal, and in others as both real and personal.
The reported valuation of the cities follows the classi
fication of the states in which they are located. In
the cities of New York the real estate valuation, there
fore, includes the valuations of telegraph lines, wires,
poles, and appurtenances, and all surface, under
ground, or elevated railroads; while for Ohio cities
the personal property valuations include the valua
tions of the roadbed, water and wood stations, and
such other realty as is necessary for the daily operation
of railroads. A detailed report on the methods of
classification and the valuations of such properties
would be of interest.
Reported' basis of assessment in practice.—The
reported basis of assessment in practice is an esti
mate, furnished by city officials, of the percentage
which the assessed valuation of property forms of
its true value. The figures for both real and personal
property are subject to possible error, but the former
are the more trustworthy. Yet even in the case of
real property, only a critical investigation, involving
a comparison between the assessed valuations of
lands sold and the considerations received at such
sales, will afford data for a true statement of the basis
of assessment in practice.
For real property, the percentages in the table are
all undoubtedly reckoned on the same basis. For per
sonal property, however, there are probably two differ
ent bases, the ratio being in one case that of the
assessed valuation of the personal property included
in the tax list to the true value of the same property,
while in the other case it is that of the assessed valua
tion of the personal property reported to the assessor
for taxation to the true value of all personal property;
one includes only property that is taxed, while the
other takes into consideration also that which escapes
taxation. There is greater uniformity in the reports
for this class of property than formerly, but undoubt
edly in a few instances the ratio of the assessed valua
tion of personal property taxed to the true value of all
taxable personal property is given.
Rates of levy.—The rates of levy for general property
taxes per SI,000 of assessed valuation and per SI,000
of reported true value are given in detail for the several
taxing bodies. In some instances the rates shown in
the table are average rates, and for this reason the
specific rates of levy for divisions of the government
in which property is taxed at two or more rates are
given below in the accompanying text table. The

TABLE 29.
Paymentsandreceiptsformeeting governmental costs.—
In the preceding tables of this report dealing with pay
ments and receipts, a classified presentation has been
made of the total payments and receipts of govern
ments, the only exceptions to this rule being that cer
tain transfers between accounts and divisions of the
city government and certain accounting transactions
have been excluded. It is apparent, however, that
there may be, and usually are, some payments by a
city government to the public which are made in error
and which are refunded; likewise there are often
receipts by a city government which may or may not
be in error and which are refunded. Such refunded
payments and receipts must be excluded before the
receipts and payments of one city will be strictly com
parable with those of another. It might seem that
these payments should be excluded from the detailed
payments and receipts as shown in Tables 4 to 15, but
as a matter of practical accounting it is impossible to
do so, partly because such exclusion would entail a
great amount of work for the accomplishment of a
small result, and partly because the amount paid or
received in refunds may not be paid or received in the
samefiscalyear as the original receipt or payment cor
rected by the refund. There are also other payments
and receipts by governments mentioned in the text
below which must be eliminated before the payments
and receipts of one city can be compared on a net basis
with those of another.
In Table 29 the refunded payments spoken of above
and all other payments and receipts which do not enter
into the costs of government have been excluded. The
object of the table is to present for each city a sum
mary of those transactions which affect its financial
condition—all counterbalancing, investment, trust,
and nominal payments and receipts having been elim
inated (see text to Table 3). In other words, the
transactions of the different cities are placed upon a
net basis, and as thus presented arc referred to as
transactions for meeting governmental coste.
As defined on page 19, payments for meeting govern
mental costs are the net amounts of money which cities
pay or expend for meeting those costs which are essen
tial to the conduct of their business, and are subdivided
into expenses, interest, outlays, and payments on ac
count of debt, while receipts for meeting governmental
costs are the net amounts received from the public for
the purposes of government, after making deductions
for receipts in error and other duplications.
The several classes of payments and receipts shown
in Table 29 are fully defined on pages 19 and 20, and
may be here briefly described as follows:
Expenses are the accrued costs, paid or payable,
incurred in the maintenance and operation of the gov
ernment and business undertakings of cities.
Interest is the accrued cost, paid or payable, incurred
by cities in the use of credit capital.
Outlays are the accrued costs, paid or payable, of
lands and other properties and improvements, more
or less permanent in character, which are used by
municipalities in the exercise of their governmental
functions or in connection with their business under
takings.
The payments or receipts on account of debt given in
Table 29 are the excess of payments to, over receipts
DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES.
from, the public on account of debt—or vice versa—
and measure the net decrease or increase in city obli
gations held by the public.
The revenues of municipalities are the amounts of
money or money's worth provided or obtained by
them for meeting their costs of government, and are
derived from (1) the exercise of the governmental
powers of taxation and police control; (2) donations
and grants for governmental uses; (3) the performance
of services or the furnishing of materials for compensa
tion; and (4) the operation or management of the pro
ductive enterprises, investments, and properties of the
government.
The several classes of expenses and revenues are
defined in the introduction to this report and also in
the text descriptive of the tables giving the details of
payments for expenses and receipts from revenues.
As the per capita payments and receipts for meeting
governmental costs are given in Table 30, and the per
cent distribution in Table 31, reference should be made
to the text discussion of these tables for an analysis of
the figures on these bases.
In the construction of this table the figures for the
payments for expenses and interest have been obtained
by deducting from the total payments reported in
Tables 4 to 7, which show the gross payments for
expenses and interest, the amount of payments re
funded, and of service transfers between the depart
ments of the government. In computing the payments
for "outlays" deductions have been made not only for
the duplications due to erroneous payments later cor
rected by refund receipts and to interdepartmental
transactions, but also for receipts from the sale of real
property and from insurance. Such receipts arise from
the conversion into cash of a part of the city's perma
nent investment, which had been acquired by means
of outlays previously reported, and correspond to those
receipts of a commercial enterprise which result from
the conversion of one form of capital asset into another.
Hence such receipts must be deducted from the gross
payments for outlays in order to ascertain the net addi
tion, during a given period, to the value of the city's
permanent properties, the cost of which net addition
must be met either from revenues or from loans.
The column showing payments on account of debt
indicates that 3S of the 158 cities reported payments
for reduction of debt in excess of receipts from new
debt obligations incurred. In 1907,30 out of 158 cities
covered by the investigation, and in 1906, 53 out of
158 cities, reported net payments for reduction of debt.
In most cities reporting net receipts from debt, the
loans were made in order to construct public proper
ties and improvements, for which the payments, as
shown in the column " outlays," arc greatly in excess
of the net receipts from debt. Thus, for the 158
cities considered, the excess of receipts on account of
debt over payments on account of debt amounted
to 8196,107,290, or 72 per cent of the amount paid for
59
outlays, while the corresponding percentage for 1907
was 50 per cent. A partial explanation of the larger
percentage for 1908 is that that year was a more favor
able one for making loans than 1907, on account of the
lower rate of interest that prevailed for money. Many
cities took advantage of these low rates and issued
bonds, the proceeds from which were not spent on out
lays until thefiscalyear 1909. For 1907 only 9 cities,
all included in Groups III and IV, showed larger re
ceipts on account of debt than payments for outlays,
while for 1908 the number of cities showing such an
excess was 21, of which 4 were in Group I.
Excess of payments or of receipts.—The last four
columns of Table 29 correlate, or "strike a balance
between," payments and receipts for meeting govern
mental costs. Three bases of study are presented:
(1) The excess of payments for revenue expenditures—
that is, expenses, interest, and outlays—over receipts
from revenues, or the reverse; (2) the excess of receipts
from revenue over payments for expenses and interest;
and (3) the excess of payments for revenue expenditures
over receipts from commercial revenues—that is, re
ceipts from the performance of services or the furnish
ing of materials for compensation. In all of these com
parisons it should be borne in mind that payments and
receipts are given and not accrued current expenses,
interest, outlays, and revenues. The relative merits
of studies based respectively on payments and receipts
and on accruals may be disregarded for the present,
since too small a.number of cities keep their accounts
on the basis of accrued revenues and expenses to justify
the Bureau of the Census in adopting that basis for its
statistics. Table 29 is deficient in that it does not
show the cash balances available for meeting govern
mental costs at the beginning and the close of the year.
A deficit in the receipts from revenue for the current
year might, for some cities, be largely or wholly oflset
by a free cash balance at the beginning of the year.
An excess of payments for revenue expenditures over
receipts from revenues indicates that during 1908 pay
ments for the costs of government exceeded receipts
from revenues. This excess is sometimes referred to
in governmental finance as a "revenue deficit" or
"deficit in revenue receipts." Such a term may be
correctly used in government business in referring to
the excess of expenses, interest, and outlays over reve
nues, since all such costs must eventually be met from
revenues, while in private finance outlays are always
chargeable against capital receipts. In governmental
business, however, good financial management may
demand that a part of the cost of new work be distri
buted by means of loans over a series of years. Thus
all outlays are not necessarily chargeable against the
revenues of the current year.
For each group of cities the amount given as the
excess of payments for revenue expenditures over
revenue receipts is the sum of the several excesses
reported, and not the excess of all revenue expenditures

TABLE 30.
Per capita payments and receipts for meeting govern
mental costs.—The payments and receipts for which
per capita averages are presented in this table are
exclusive of transfers between departments or funds
and of all other duplications. For reasons given in
the text for Table 29 the receipts from sales of real
estate and from insurance are eliminated from the
receipts and the same amount deducted from payments
for outlays.
The per capita computations are based upon the
population of the 158 cities as given in Table 1.
Because of the absence of trustworthy data, the esti-

mates for seven of these cities are so defective that per
capita payments and receipts computed from them
would not reflect actual conditions or afford a true
basis for comparisons; for these seven cities, therefore,
no per capita averages are given. But the estimates
of their population, although faulty, are used in com
puting per capita averages for the 158 cities as a
whole and for the four groups, the errors of individual
cases being so far neutralized in the totals as to reduce
the percentage of error to a minimum.
The table shows that the cities included in Group I
have the highest per capita averages both of payments
and of receipts for meeting governmental costs, those
of Groups II, III, and IV following in order. In
other words, when each group of cities is considered
as a whole, per capita expenditures and receipts show
a tendency to increase with population. The figures
for the individual cities, however, show many marked
exceptions.
The following table is presented to show the growth
in the per capita payments and receipts of the cities
covered by the census reports:
Table 30 decreased the amount of their debt. For
these 36 cities, payments on account of debt are
shown; for the remaining 115, receipts. The great
decrease in the per capita payments on account of
debt, both for the grand total and for Group I, is due
to the fact that in 1908, of the 16 cities of Group I,
Washington alone decreased its debt, and that by
only 67 cents per capita; while in 1907 Washington
decreased its debt by 69 cents per capita, and St.
Louis by S3.88 per capita. The continued increase
in the per capita receipts on account of debt, as shown
in the last column of the above table, shows that in
proportion to population the burden of debt is rapidly
increasing.

DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES.
TABLE 32.
Payments for general and special service expenses,
total and per capita.—In this table are presented the
total and per capita payments for general and special
service expenses, arranged in most cases according to
the main groups of departments, offices, and accounts
given in Table 4, but in a few cases showing separately
the pa37ments for the more important municipal de
partments, such as police and fire departments and
schools.
The cities of Group I show the highest per capita
average for all general and special service expenses,
those of Groups II, III, and IV following in order. The
same order appears in all per capita figures for groups
of cities in Table 32, except that in the column headed
"all other" under "protection of life and property"
the per capitas for Groups III and IV are the same,
while in the column headed "miscellaneous" the per
capita payments for Group IV are larger than those for
Group III. But the figures for individual cities in
Table 32, like those in Table 30, show striking excep
tions to the tendency noted for groups of cities, indi
cating that there are other factors calling for special
investigation and.study of local conditions.
Comparative statistics, 1902 to 1908.—In the compar
ative summary presented in connection with Table 32
the figures for the years from 1902 to 1907 have been
adjusted to the classification used for 1908, thus se
curing approximately comparable statistics for the
whole period.
In the seven years from 1902 to 1908 the per capita
payments for all general and special service expenses
by the 147 cities included in tlie summary increased
$3.47, or 26 per cent. The highest per capita increase,
amounting to $4.35, is shown by the cities of Group I,
while the smallest, §1.85, is shown by those of Group
III. There is no uniform annual increase; in fact,
both the average for all cities and that for Group I
show a slight decrease from 1902 to 1903. The classes
of payments showing the most uniform increase from
year to year in the per capita averages for the 147 cities
are those for protection of life and property, sanitation,
charities, hospitals, and corrections, and education,
and those included under the head of "miscellaneous."
The per capita payments for health conservation and
for highways fluctuated during the earlier years, but
later show a tendency to increase, while those for gen
eral government and for recreation at first decrease
and later increase. As a rule, the annual changes in
the per capita payments for each group of cities are of
the same general character as those in the general
average for the 147 cities included in the summary.

Per cent distribution of payments for general and
special service expenses.—Table 33 shows the distribu

service expenses. This table brings out in strong
relief the relative importance, in the several cities and
groups of cities, of the principal classes of expenses.
The expenses for general government were rela
tively greatest for the cities of Group I, constituting
13.7 per cent of the total expenses for the group, while
they constituted 8,9 per cent of the totals for Groups
II and III, and 8.4 per cent of the total for Group IV.
Among individual cities the highest percentage of
expenses for general government, 20.7, was reported
for Denver, Colo., for which the highest percentage
was reported for 1907 and 1906 also; and the lowest,
4.7, for Terre Haute, Ind.
The percentages for police department expenses
decrease in like manner from Group I to Group IV,
being 14.5, 11.5, 11, and 10.2, respectively, for the
different groups; for this class of expenses Savannah,
Ga., shows the largest percentage, 23.3, and Racine,
Wis., the smallest, 5.3. For fire department expenses
the proportion was largest for the cities of Group IV,
13 per cent, and decreased progressively as the size
of the cities increased, being 12.8 for Group III, 12.5
for Group II, and 9.1 for Group I; the highest per
centage for any city was 28.1, reported for Macon, Ga.,
and the lowest 5, reported for Harrisburg, Pa.
The percentages represented by expenses for health
conservation, and by those for libraries, art galleries,
and museums, vary but little for the different groups.
Among individual cities the largest percentage for
health conservation, 6, was reported for Augusta, Ga.,
and the smallest, three-tenths of 1 per cent, for Pawtucket, R. I. For libraries, art galleries, and museums
the largest percentage, 4.7, was reported for Rockford,
111., while for thirteen cities no such expenses were
reported.
The percentages of expenses for sanitation, for
charities, hospitals, and corrections, and for recreation
were all largest for Group I and smallest for Group IV,
decreasing regularly for charities, hospitals, and cor
rections and for recreation, while for sanitation the
percentage for Group III exceeded that for Group II.
The largest percentage for sanitation, 21.6, was re
ported for Jacksonville, Fla., and the lowest, 1.8, for
South Omaha, Nebr., and Joplin, Mo. The largest
percentage for charities, hospitals, and corrections,
16.2, was reported for Haverhill, Mass., while thirteen
cities reported no expenses for such purposes. For
recreation the largest percentage, 7.3, was reported
for Atlantic City, N. J., while Wheeling, W. Va., re
ported no expense for that purpose.
On the other hand, the percentages of expenses for
highways and for schools were all smallest for Group I
and largest for Group IV, increasing regularly from
Groups I to IV, the percentages for the different groups
being, respectively, for highways, 9.9, 12.5, 13.2, and
14.3; and for schools, 25.3, 33.2, 34.4, and 35.7. Lan
caster, Pa., shows the largest percentage of expenses for
highways, 27, and Hoboken, N. J,, the lowest, 2.9. The

largest percentage of expenses for schools, 52.8, was re
ported for Topeka, Kans., while four cities, Mobile, Ala.,
Augusta and Macon, Ga., and Jacksonville, Fla., re
ported no expenses for such purposes. In these cities
and Savannah, Ga., for which the expenses for schools
reported consisted merely of a small payment to a
private college, the schools were managed directly by
the counties. For all cities except the five just men
tioned and the cities of Manchester, N. H., and Charles
ton, S. C , a larger percentage of the total expenses
was reported for schools than for any other one purpose
shown in the table. Although the per capita expenses
for schools, shown in Table 32, increase with the size
of the cities, they do not increase as rapidly as other
per capita expenses; hence the percentages repre
sented by school expenses, given in Table 33, are
relatively greater for the cities of Group IV than for
those of Group I.
TABLE
34.
Payments for outlays, total and per capita,—In tliis
table per capita payments for outla}^s are presented
separately for those groups of departments and offices
reporting the largest outlays in Table 8, and for all
public service enterprises. The groups of departments
included under the head "all other" are those in
cluded in previous tables under the heads "general
government/' "protection of life and property,"
"charities, hospitals, and corrections," and "mis
cellaneous."
To a limited extent these per capita figures are a
measure of the relative progressiveness of cities with
approximately the same population. In making
comparisons between individual cities, however, these
figures must be used with caution, because they record
extraordinary transactions. In all comparisons due
allowance must be made for the conditions and cir
cumstances which necessitated the outlays; for exam
ple, the newer and more rapidly growing cities must
make relatively greater outlays than those older cities
with a normal annual growth, because the latter are
more adequately provided with permanent public
improvements.
The table shows that the per capita average of the
total payments for outlays for all cities in 1908 was
$11.43 as compared with $10.38 for 1907 and $8.56 for
1906. The average for Group I was $13.25, or con
siderably greater than the average for all cities, while
the average for each of the remaining three groups was
materially smaller. For each class of outlays, with
the exception of those for health conservation and
sanitation and for highways, Group I shows larger per
capita payments than does any one of the other three
groups; for the two purposes mentioned, the largest
per capita paj^ments were made by the cities of
Group II. The per capita payments for outlays by
the several groups of cities do not, however, increase
with the size of the cities as uniformly as do the per
capita payments for expenses. The differences in the
total outlays per capita for individual cities are very
great, for reasons stated in the preceding paragraph,
and call for even more careful study than do the differ
ences in the amounts of general and special service
expenses per capita referred to in the text for Table 32.
For each group of cities the total payments for
outla3Ts per capita in 190S were larger than in 1907,
the percentages of increase being as follows: Group I,
9.5; Group II, 9; Group III, 9; and Group IV, 11.9.
TABLE
35.
Receipts from general revenues, total and per capita.—
In this table are presented the total and per capita
receipts from general revenues under the most impor
tant of the heads shown in Table 10. These receipts
include amounts received by the city which were sub
sequently refunded, and also, for a few cities, small
receipts from service transfers; but the exaggeration
of the group totals resulting from the inclusion of such
receipts is but little more than 1 per cent. The column
headed " all other general revenues" includes receipts
from fines and forfeits and from subventions, grants,
and gifts.
In Table XXVIII, which is based upon the data
given in Table 35, the relative importance of the
several classes of receipts from general revenues is
shown by groups of cities.

The above table indicates that the proportion
which general property taxes constitute of all gen
eral revenues increases with the size of cities, rising
progressively from 76.4 per cent for Group IV to 80
per cent for Group I. The cities of Groups I and II
received a larger percentage of revenue from liquor
licenses than did those of Groups III and IV. On
comparing the percentages of receipts from this latter
source for the last four years covered by the census
reports on the statistics of cities, it will be found that
for the first two groups they increased from 1905 to

Of the cities of over 300,000 population, Washing
ton, D. C , is the only one with a lower interest rate
in 1908 than it had in 1905. San Francisco shows the
maximum increase of 1 per cent in the rate, while the
other cities show a nominal increase of only one-tenth
of 1 per cent.
The highest average rates of interest for the different
groups of cities for 1908 were as follows:
Group I.—San Francisco, Cal., 4.5 per cent.
Group II.—Denver, Colo., 5.5 per cent.
Group III.—Tacoma, Wash., 5.6 per cent.
Group IV.—Birmingham, Ala., 5.6 per cent.
The corresponding lowest rates were:
Group I.—Washington, D. C, 3.2 per cent.
Group II.—Providence, R. I., Rochester, X. Y., and Hartford,
Conn., 3.6 per cent.
Group III.—Springfield, Mass., Harrisburg, Pa., and Ilolyoke,
Mass., 3.8 per cent.
Group IV.—Elmira, X. Y., 3.6 per cent.
The interest rates on special assessment loans and
revenue loans are unimportant factors in determining
the average rate for the total debt, since of the total
interest charge at the close of the year 87.7 per cent
was oh the funded debt alone.
Net interest rates.—The second part of Table 36 is
presented for the first time in this report, and is an
attempt to show the net or actual interest rates that dif
ferent cities have to pay on that portion of their funded
debt which was issued during the year. The first part
of the table shows the average interest rates borne by
the debt outstanding at the close of the year, but it is
evident that these are not the same as the actual in
terest rates paid, since the price at which bonds are
sold, whether at a premium or at a discount, is not
taken into consideration. Furthermore, the average
rates reported in the first part of the table are a poor
index to the credit rating of a city or the actual rate
of interest that it has to pay for the use of money at
the present time, since a large part of the outstanding
debt of most cities was issued a number of years ago
when rates of interest on municipal securities were not
the same as those now prevailing. The credit of cities
changes in much the same way as does that of a pri
vate corporation, and it is in consideration of this fact
that the second part of Table 36 is presented.
The statistics as to the net rate of interest paid by
cities on their bonds are confined to the funded debt
issued during the year. In many cities a portion of
are not taken into account, and in order to obtain an
approximate credit rating for a city it is necessary to
separate these transactions from transactions with
the public, where the credit of the city is taken into
account. Hence in the first two columns of the
second division of Table 36 are shown the amounts
of funded debt sold respectively to the public and to
the city funds. In the third column is shown the
amount of premiums received, which were all on bonds
sold to the public, except in the case of Baltimore,
Md., Detroit, Mich., and Fall River, Mass., as indi
cated in footnotes. The fourth and fifth columns
show the average number of years the bonds have to
run and the average rates of interest borne by the
bonds, respectively, without distinguishing between
bonds sold to the public and those sold to the sinking
funds. The last two columns show the net rate of
interest the city had to pay on its bonds sold, re
spectively, to the public and to the city funds.
The net rate of interest has been computed from
bond tables constructed upon the theory that a por
tion of the interest paid by the city at each interest
period represents a portion of the premium received
on each bond, calculated on such a basis that with the
maturity of the bond, the premium will be completely
written off.
The net rates shown in the table have been obtained
by averaging the net rates of the different issues for
each city. For most cities the exlubit signifies that
the city borrowed the amounts of money reported in
the first and second columns for the number of years
shown in the fourth column, at the net rates shown
in the last two columns; thus Philadelphia, Pa., bor
rowed from the public 819,375,000 for thirty years at
a net interest rate of 3.79 per cent. For a few cities
the length of time that the city will continue to pay
interest at the net rate shown in the table is not the
same as the average term of the bonds, for the reason
that an issue of bonds for which the net rate is much
higher or lower than the average shown in the table
may run for a shorter term than the average term as
shown in the fourth column. Upon the redemption
of such an issue the average net rate of the remaining
debt outstanding changes. Strictly speaking, there
fore, the net rate shown is actually paid only until the
maturity of the issue running for the shortest term,
provided the net rate on this issue differs from that
shown in the table. The net rates, however, have
been carefully checked and it is found that they apply
in nearly every case for the full number of years shown
in the tenth column of Table 36.
Keeping in mind this explanation of what the net
rate of interest really is, it is interesting to compare the
rates of interest that cities have to pay for the use of
money, as indicated by the twelfth column of the

cial uses of or privileges in the streets and alle3rs.
With these utilities are naturally included toll bridges,
ferries, subways for the transportation of passengers
and merchandise, and ways for pipes and wires. For
some cities reports of receipts from delivery and ex
press companies, companies operating a messenger
service, storage plants, and a few other public service
corporations not having special privileges in highways
were obtained, but this information being incomplete
is excluded from this table. A more important omis
sion is that of steam railroads, whose transactions are

fully reported by the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion.
The cities are grouped by states, arranged geo
graphically, so as more clearly to illustrate the effect
of differences in tax laws on the revenues from public
service corporations. The corporations reported for
each city are grouped in the table according to the
character of the service furnished, those with closeljr
related functions, such as companies furnishing light,
power, or heat, or telephone and telegraph companies,
appearing together. Where a single corporation fur
nished services or utilities not so closely related, and
no separate statement for each class of business can
be obtained, the total receipts appear after some desig
nation combining the several functions, such as
"street railway and light" or -'water and gas/' but
wrhen sufficient information is available, the receipts
from a given corporation on account of its several
functions are reported under separate heads.
Taxes.—The larger part of the taxes reported in the
second column of Table 37 are " general property
taxes," i. e., those taxes upon real and personal prop
erty which are paid by all individuals or corporations.
In addition, this column includes for the Massachu
setts cities the following "special property taxes"
levied upon corporations:

The taxes shown in the above statement are derived
wholly from street railway companies, except in Bos
ton, where the amounts contributed by the several
classes of corporations are as follows: Street railway,
$349,770; light, $117,964; and telephone and tefegraph, $62,214. The amounts shown for three cities
include receipts on account of previous years, as fol
lows: Lynn, $12; Newton, $1,237; and Fitchburg,
$2,579.
For Washington, D. C , there are included in the
first column of this table percentage taxes amounting
to $365,428, considered as business taxes, as follows:
Street railway, $166,167; light, $156,486; and tele
phone, $42,775. For some cities this column also in
cludes taxes upon franchise valuations, which are
assessed in New York state as real property and in
Georgia, Kentucky, and California as personal prop

Licenses.—The term " licenses," as used in Table 37,
includes payments for the ordinary business licenses
and also, in some cases, payments based on the number
of cars, miloage of wire, or number of supporting poles.
The last-mentioned class of payments is found in
Pennsylvania, where pole and wire taxes, paid by cor
porations using streets and alleys and city squares, are
regarded as licenses when imposed under a state law
permitting the licensing of certain classes of business.
In the cities of Wisconsin licenses include percentage
taxes on earnings of public service corporations, as
shown in the following table:

Public service privileges.—Under this head are
included those amounts collected from corporations
for the special privilege of using the highways in pro
Such collections may be in
taxes on gross earnings or
receipts or upon dividends; (2) taxes or charges based
on the number of cars, number of passengers carried,
number of telephone lines, etc.; (3) rental privileges on
streets at a fixed amount per annum; or (4) sales of
franchises or privileges for a fixed amount payable at
once or in annual payments during a term of years.
The cost of such privileges is in many cases based on the
cost of construction of a bridge or the improvement of a
highway, and since the object for which the corporation
bears a share of the cost in these cases is the privi
lege thereby secured for itself, the receipts from this
source are properly classified as from the sale of privi
leges. Table XXXIV presents an analysis of all items
in the column headed " public service privileges," which
include receipts from sources other than percentage
taxes on gross earnings or receipts, or upon dividends.

Reimbursements. — The designation "reimburse
ments" embraces receipts from the various services
performed by the city for which charges may be made.*
Among those commonly included are the following:
Charges for the use of underground conduits; charges
for street sweeping, sprinkling, or snow removal along
the line of the street railway, where a contract with
the city imposes the charge on the corporation; work
on bridges; water rates when paid by the corporation
and recorded separately; compensation for the work
of inspectors, charged to the corporations inspected;
receipts from corporations by sewer or park depart
ments; and compensation for street repairs and
replacing disturbed pavements, the receipts for which
constitute the largest class under "reimbursements."
It is possible that in several cases the amount reported
as for street repair may include receipts for bridges or
for street cleaning. In some cases no separate account
has been kept of receipts from public service corpora
tions, so that a complete report would doubtless
materially increase the amounts shown in the column
headed "reimbursements." Receipts of another type
tabulated under "reimbursements" are those from
special assessments, as follows:

Services.—In connection with the collection of data
on receipts from public service corporations, the
Bureau of the Census attempted to procure informa
tion regarding services performed free of charge or at
reduced rates for the city governments. A full
description of such services is needed to supplement
and explain the data on receipts, since special services
are sometimes performed by corporations as part pay
ment for privileges or for use of streets. The returns
for 1908 are too meager to justify their publication,
but it is hoped that a report on this subject may be
made in the future. Of the different types of services
performed, the following were reported: Lights fur
nished the city by a corporation, either a certain num
ber without charge or all that are needed at a reduced
rate; telephones furnished the city under the same
conditions; the free use of poles owned by the corpo
ration for stringing wires belonging to the city; free
hydrants or reduced rates for water used by the citv;
free transportation of policemen or other city officers
by street railways; sweeping, flushing, or sprinkling
streets along the line of railways; and constructing
and keeping in repair the pavements between tracks
and for a stipulated distance on each side.
Types of revenue received from public service corpo
rations.—The grouping adopted in Table 37 indicates
the degree of uniformity that exists among cities of
the same state, and the differences between cities of
different states due to the varying provisions of the
statutes governing public service corporations. As a
general rule, the same types of service are rendered by
corporations throughout the country, and the question
whether an}r particular service, as the furnishing of
the water supply, shall be provided by a private cor
poration or by the municipality is in no way deter
mined according to state lines. There are, however,
certain combinations of different types of service
which are especially common in particular states, for
example, the combination of street railway and
electric light service, which, though often found in
other states, is especially frequent in Georgia; and
the "public utility corporations" in New Jersey,
which are recently formed combinations of several
corporations performing different functions, rendering
the distinctions of the adopted grouping peculiarly
unsatisfactory for that state.
There are marked variations in both the form and
the amount of taxes imposed on public service corpo
rations, the amounts being unusually large in the
Pacific states and Colorado, and above the average in
New York and Massachusetts, but remarkably low in
Pennsylvania and New Hampshire. The exemption
of corporations from local taxation is due largely to
their liability to taxes imposed by the state. As an
almost universal rule, the tangible property of corpo
rations is assessed and taxed in the same way and at
the same rate as that of individuals, although to this
rule Pennsylvania furnishes a striking exception, the
general property tax, forming elsewhere the most
important source of municipal revenue from corpora
tions, being here denied by law to the cities. Wis
consin also exempts street railway and telephone
companies from the general property tax—imposing
instead a "license fee" based on gross earnings. In
Connecticut, property actually used in street railway
business is almost altogether exempt from general
taxes for local purposes because street railway corpora
tions are subject to the state tax on capital stock.
Another variation from ordinary conditions is found
in the failure to exact license fees from public service
corporations in cities of the New England states, and in
those of New Jersey, Indiana, Nebraska, Colorado,
Texas, and Washington, and in the fact that only one
city in each of the states of New York, Iowa, Michigan,
and California reports receipts from this source. In
the majority of states, however, and more especially
in the South, with the exception of Texas, this form of
taxation yields an important part of the municipal
revenues.
TABLE
38.
Costs of school maintenance.—In Table 4 there are
presented statistics of the costs of maintaining schools,
so far as such costs are shown by payments for salaries
DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES.
of teachers and other employees and by payments for
supplies and materials used. These payments, how
ever, do not include all the costs of school maintenance;
for the interest on the large amounts of money ex
pended by the cities for grounds, buildings, and equip
ment for school purposes is as truly a cost of school
maintenance as are the current payments for salaries
and for supplies and materials. But the interest on
the outstanding debt on account of schools can not be
used to represent the interest costs just mentioned in
compiling, for the several cities, comparable statistics
of costs of school maintenance, because, while for some
cities the amount of such debt approximates the total
cost of school properties, for others no such debt is
reported. The only way of securing comparable sta
tistics of the costs of school maintenance, therefore, is
by adopting the principles of commercial cost account
ing and taking into consideration, for each city, the
interest on the total value of the lands, buildings, etc.,
used for school purposes. This is done in Table 38,
which shows the payments for salaries of teachers and
for all other school expenses, together with the interest
on the values of school buildings, grounds, and equip
ment, calculated at the average rates paid by the re
spective cities on city debt obligations. These values
are given in Table 26, while the average rates of interest
paid by the several cities are presented in Table 36.
In computing the per capita figures for the groups
of cities and for the 158 cities as a whole, the popula
tion figures for Savannah, Augusta, and Macon, Ga.,
Jacksonville, Fla., and Mobile, Ala., were omitted, be
cause no accurate statistics for schools could be ob
tained in these cities, the schools being operated as
parts of the school systems of the counties in which the
cities are located. Of these cities, Savannah alone
made payments for schools, and that only in small
amount, to a private college. Estimates for the ex
penses of schools in these five cities are, however, pre
sented in connection with the text for Table 4.
The total cost per capita of school maintenance was
$5.44 for the 15S cities as a whole, and increased pro
gressively for the different groups from §4.67 in Group
IV to $5.82 in Group I. Among the different cities,
exclusive of the five mentioned in the preceding para
graph, the per capita costs ranged from $2.09 in Mont
gomery, Ala., and $2.11 in Charleston, S. C , to $8.44
in Sacramento, Cal., $8.68 in Denver, Colo., $9.46 in
Salt Lake City, Utah, and S9.57 in Newton, Mass.
For the four groups of cities the per capita amount
of interest on the value of school buildings, grounds,
and equipment shows relatively small variations. For
individual cities, however, the variations are marked.
Among all cities, except the five whose schools are
under county administration, the range is from 29
cents in Louisville, Ky., to SI.62 in Oklahoma City,
Okla.; in Group I, from 30 cents in Baltimore, Md., to
71
| $1.17 in Boston, Mass.; in Group II, from 29 cents in
J Louisville, Ky., to $1.57 in Denver, Colo.; in Group III,
I from 30 cents in Charleston, S. C , to $1.37 in Spring
field, Mass.; and in Group IV, from 34 cents in Knoxj ville, Tenn., to $1.62 in Oklahoma City, Okla. The
extreme variations for individual cities emphasize the
truth of the statement made in this and former census
I reports on statistics of cities that few cities have trustworth}r records of the cost or value of their public
properties. Any truly comparable statistics of govern
mental costs must be based upon fairly correct state
ments of the costs of governmental properties.
Receipts from school subventions.—The per capita
receipts for schools from subventions, grants, charges,
etc., for the 158 cities were 86 cents in 1908 as compared
with 77 cents in 1907 and 70 cents in 1906. The aver
ages for 1908 vary considerably for the different groups,
being $1.21 for the cities of Group III and only 68 cents
for those of Group I. The small amount for Group I
is due largely to the fact that the cities of that group
are in states whose cities received subventions smaller
than the average for all cities, the per.capita average
for all cities in those states having one or more cities
in Group I being but 76 cents, while for all other cities
I the average was $1. In the 1908 report a New Jersey
1 city is for the first time included in Group I. As that
state makes liberal grants for schools, the inclusion of
its 11 cities materially helps to raise the per capita
receipts for all cities of states having one city or more
in Group I from 55 cents in 1907 to 76 cents, as stated,
I for 1908. Another cause tending still further to reduce
I the per capita receipts of the larger cities is found in
the dual system of city and county government exist
ing in some cities; thus Boston, Mass., and San Fran
cisco, Cal., levy and collect city taxes, and St. Louis,
Mo., receives trust fund income, corresponding to what,
in the other cities of the same states, is received from
the counties as subventions. Furthermore, Washing
ton, D. C , receives no special subvention for schools,
but the Federal Government meets half of the costs of
the school department as well as half of the costs of all
other municipal departments in the District of Colum
bia. The total contribution from the Federal Govern
ment is reported in Table 10 as a subvention "for
other purposes," no attempt being made to analyze
the total so as to show a part for education and the
balance for other purposes.
TABLE 39.
In connection with the preparation of the report on
statistics of cities for 1908 a special schedule for reportj ing school payments in detail was prepared. The
| object in using this special schedule was to secure, if
possible, financial statistics in respect to schools in
j such detail as would enable the United States Bureau
I of Education and school officials in general to make
72
STATISTICS OF CITIES.
such studies of the school problem as they deemed
important. The classification presented in Table 39
was adopted after conferences with officials of the
United States Bureau of Education. As the work for
1908 was in the nature of an experiment, these detailed
statistics were collected for only 96 out of the 15S
cities included in the census report. The Census
Bureau realizes that the figures presented in Table 39
are imperfect, as it is impossible in many cities to
obtain an accurate classification. It is believed, how
ever, that the use of this special schedule has materially
assisted in arousing the interest of school authorities in
the subject of accurate analysis of school payments,
and it is hoped that the presentation of these statistics
will show the necessity of cooperation on the part of
local officials in any endeavor to obtain a presentation
of comparable school statistics.
The Bureau of the Census is at the present time
studying the question of a proper classification of
school payments and receipts. As a result of this
study the classification presented in Table 39 will
doubtless be spmewhat modified in, the next report
issued by this bureau. In the case of "administration
expenses," for example, it is important to show defi
nitely the cost of administration apart from all other
expenses. The present classification includes with
administration expenses, payments from school funds
to teachers' pension funds or payments in the form of
pensions directly to the beneficiaries, and it further
includes under the head "miscellaneous'' under "ad
ministration expenses" certain payments, such as
those for rent of school buildings and insurance on the
same, which are items not connected with administra
tion. An endeavor will be made to present accurate
data on this class of school expenses in the next census
report. There is also a question whether it is advisable
to show expenses for kindergarten schools separately
from those for elementary schools, since there seems to
be a tendency in many cities to consider the kinder
garten grade as a part of the elementary schools.
For some cities the figures presented in Table 39 were
obtained from the records of the school department,
whereas the payments for school expenses reported for
the same cities in Table 4 of this report were obtained
from the books of the city comptroller or auditor. In
the case of Table 4 it was necessary in all instances to
use the figures as recorded in the accounts of the
comptroller or auditor, since the figures presented in
that table form only a part of a complete statement of
city payments and receipts as prepared from the books
of the chief accounting officer. In the case of Table
39, however, it was possible to take the figures from
departmental books, since this table is a special study
on schools and is not prepared as an integral part of a
complete financial statement for the several cities.
Some of the differences between the figures shown in
Table 4 and Table 39 are explained by the facts stated
above. Other differences are due to the different
classification employed in Table 39. As stated in foot
notes to that table, payments for the expenses of
finance offices and for medical inspection and nurses
are recorded in Table 4 under other heads than those
for education. It should also be stated that Table 4
shows the total payments for pensions, whether paid
from general school funds or from school teachers' pen
sion funds, whereas Table 39 records only those pay
ments which are made from the general school funds.
The items of "rent" and "insurance," which have been
previously mentioned as included under the head "mis
cellaneous" under "administration expenses," are in
cluded in Table 4 with the expenses of that grade of
schools for which the respective costs were incurred, as
elementary, high, or night. It should also be noted
that Table 39 presents separately in the classification
by grades and classes of schools the payments for the
expenses of kindergarten, normal, and vacation schools,
which in Table 4 are merged with elementary or high.
In 27 of the 34 cities reporting expenses for " finance
offices," the schools were administered by an inde
pendent organization not forming a department of
the city corporation. In most other cities where
the school department is a subordinate branch of
the city corporation, the corresponding expenses of
finance offices would not show as separate items of
school expense, but would be merged in the total
expenses of the chief fiscal officers of the city, as the
comptroller, auditor, assessors, or treasurer. In a
few cities where the schools are administered by a
department of the city corporation, the school officials
must employ their own auditing and accounting
officers, as the school authorities exercise accounting
responsibility for such moneys as have been appro
priated for them.
For most cities included in this table it is believed
that the statistics are sufficiently accurate to justify
their analysis with a view to ascertaining the following
details:
(a) The percentage of total payments for school
expenses incurred in administration work. In making
this computation it should be borne in mind that
schools administered by independent school districts
must incur certain administration expenses which
will not be shown separately for those schools admin
istered by city departments. (The reader interested
in ascertaining those cities in which schools are admin
istered through the medium of independent districts
is referred to Table 2, in the first column of which
this information is presented.)
(6) The relative amount paid for teachers and
supervisors of instruction, which is shown under the
head "instruction," and the relative amounts paid
for apparatus and supplies, for janitors, and for the
maintenance of school buildings.
(c) The relative amounts expended for the several

groups of schools, as elementary (for accuracy it will
be best to combine the figures for "kindergarten"
and "elementary" schools), high, and night schools.
In this case it should be noted that normal, vacation,
and special schools are reported for only a limited
number of cities.
(d) The extent to which the several cities are
furnishing free text-books and supplies for pupils (see
column headed "apparatus and supplies").
The Census Bureau.has not collected statistics on
the enrollment or attendance of pupils or of the number
of teachers employed, which might be used as a basis
for preparing valuable figures on unit costs. It is
hoped that such statistics may be collected in the
future, as the comparisons based on carefully computed
unit costs are more significant than comparisons based
on absolute payments, since the latter comparisons
disregard the very important factor of the number of
teachers employed and the number of pupils to be
instructed.

heading, but only such places as are licensed. In a
great majority of the cities a license is required for all
establishments trafficking in or manufacturing intoxi
cating liquors, but in a few cities wholesalers and man
ufacturers are not required to take out any form of
license and in others a state license only is required.
Where the latter condition obtains it is possible that
some licensed places have been omitted, for the reason
that agents were not specifically instructed to make
inquiries concerning state licenses.
The sixth column shows the number of pharmacies
licensed for the sale of liquors for medicinal, sacra
mental, manufacturing, and chemical purposes only.
In some cities pharmacies are not licensed and in a
few they are licensed to sell in the same manner as
other establishments dealing in intoxicating liquors.
Pharmacies belonging to the latter class have been
tabulated in columns 2 and 4 according as they did or
did not sell by the drink.

For the country as a whole and for each group of
cities the decreases between 1907 and 1908, and 1905
and 1907, in the number of places licensed for the sale
of liquors by the drink were pronounced, the decrease
in number for the one-year period from 1907 to 1908
being much more than half as great as that for the
two-year period from 1905 to 1907. For the oneyear period 41 cities showed increases and 84 de
creases, the net decrease amounting to 3,205. The
11 cities changing from license to no license contrib
uted only 1.135 toward this decrease. It is thus
seen that there has been during the year a marked
tendency to reduce the number of licensed places in
license cities:
In connection with this decrease in number it is
interesting to note the receipts of the same cities for
municipal purposes, from liquor licenses for the same
years, as shown in the following table:

Decrease.
From the above statement it will be seen that both
from 1905 to 1907 and from 1907 to 1908 there were
large increases in the receipts from liquor licenses and
taxes for the cities having over 30,000 population as
a whole and for the cities of Groups I and II, while
the cities of Groups III and IV showed an increase in
revenues from 1905 to 1907 and a decrease from 1907
to 1908. The decreases for the latter groups result
largely from the fact that the majority of the cities
changing from license to no license were included in
these groups.
The changes in the number of places licensed for
the sale of intoxicating liquor by the drink from 1907
to 1908 are best illustrated by the following com
parative statements. The cities included in these
statements are those showing an increase or decrease,
respectively, of 10 per cent or more and are arranged

As indicated by the above statements, two cities
shifted from no license to license between 1907 and
190S, while eleven changed from license to no license.
The explanation for the marked decreases shown for
Richmond, Va., Dubuque, Iowa, and Baltimore, Md.,
lies in an increase during the year in the license fee.
In Richmond the city license fee was increased from
$250 to S500, and the state license fee from $350 to S450;
in Dubuque the increase was from $000 to $720; and
in Baltimore, from $250 to $500. The decrease shown
for the cities of Rhode Island resulted from the fact
DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES.
that a state law, effective December 1, 1908, limited
the number of saloons in the several cities to 1 saloon
to every 500 inhabitants, as shown by the last state or
Federal census, whereas previously there had been no
statutor3r limitation on the number. The decreases in
the other cities shown in the statement are not easily
explainable from the data at hand, but the}" probabty
reflect the result of a widespread movement against
the saloon.
In the following table a comparison is made of the
number of places licensed for the sale of intoxicating
liquors by the drink in the cities in the various geo
graphic divisions for the three years for which statistics
are available, together with the increase or decrease for
the different periods:
75
A partial explanation of the marked decrease in the
number of places selling liquor by the drink shown
in the preceding tables is to be found in the fact that
several states and some cities have passed laws within
the last year or two limiting the number of saloons
either to a definite number or to one saloon to a
certain number of inhabitants. Census agents were
instructed to note any provisions limiting the number
of licenses granted in the different cities, and the
following statement of such provisions has been
compiled from the license schedules:
California.—No state law. In San Francisco the number of
saloon licenses that may be granted in any one year is limited by
resolution of the board of police commissioners to 2,500. In Los
Angeles, Oakland, and Sacramento the number of saloons is limited
by city ordinances to 200, 350, and 176, respectively.

time the states of Kansas, Maine, and Oklahoma have
constitutional provisions prohibiting the sale or manu
facture of intoxicating liquors, while Alabama, Georgia,
and Iowa have statutory provisions to the same effect,
though the cities and counties of Iowa, through the
operation of the "mulct tax" law, derive revenue from
this class of business. Charleston, S. C.', reported no
liquor dealers, the business being operated by the state
under the dispensary law.
The final column of Table 40 gives for each license
city the number of inhabitants to each place licensed
for the sale of intoxicating liquors by the drink, and
presents material for comparison of the relative num
ber of such places in the different cities. It is perhaps
noteworthy that the size of cities has apparently little
to do with the number of inhabitants to each saloon,
the numbers for cities of the first and fourth group
being slightly less than those for cities of the other two
groups. The smallest number of saloons in proportion
to population is shown for the cities of Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, and Nebraska, and the largest number
for cities of Texas, Wisconsin, and New Jersey. The
extremes between cities in the same group are as fol
lows, the figure following the name of the city indi
cating in each case the number of inhabitants to each
place selling liquor by the drink:
Group I.—Milwaukee, Wis., 161, and Philadelphia, Pa., 758.
Group II.—Paterson, X. J., 231, and Fall River, Mass., 1,042.
Group III.—Iloboken, X. J., 175, and Lincoln, Xebr., 2,038.
Group IV.—Galveston, Tex., 13S, and Newcastle, Pa., 1,900.
The annual license fee in many cities is the same for
