Miss Mildred Adorns,
Committee on the History
of the Federal Reserve System,
33 Liberty Street,
New York k$, New York
Dear Miss Adams:
I enclose herewith a budget statement for the current fiscal
year, and a cumulative report of expenditures and receipts from beginning
of the project.
In both cases, I have attempted to carry the figures to the end
of June, 1956, but I would like you and the Committee to realize that I
have no confidence in the estimates for the current quarter* because I
have inadequate information concerning bills outstanding or impending#
This should be evident from the fact that I have nosr raised my
own estimate for the current year from $31,000 as estimated for our Trustees
in early May to about $3U,000, less whatever balance in Dr# Chandler fs
expense fund will be reported as unused at the end of the period#
One factor in this increase of estimates is the grant of $1,500
to Columbia University which I learned about only this week*
In our
telephone conversation yesterday, you stated that this obligation was on
record in minutes of the Committee•
I have never seen any minutes of the Committee•
I have
simply assembled the best figures I can on the basis of what has gone over
my desk, and from quizzing Mr* Akers and Dr» Calkins#
I would be glad to see the minutes if, as I believe, these
objectives are desirable* (i) To place the accounts more nearly on an
obligations basis instead of a mere cash disbursements basis. (3) Better
estimating•
sincerely,
Treasurer.

It is not the policy of the Institution to make payment for

overtime may receive compensation at one and one-half times the
regular rate for overtime in excess of two hours after the regular
closing time on any work day or for overtime in excess of two hours
on any holiday, Saturday or Sunday* Overtime periods of less than
two hours will be compensated by allowing time off at the rate of
one hour for each hour of overtime worked•
According to my records you are listed as a member of the
secretarial staffs Any report of overtime on the Federal Reserve
study should have the approval of Miss Adams*

Miss Mildred Adams,
33 Liberty Street,
New York U5, N. J.
Dear Miss Adams:
Many thanks for your letter of Jan. 27, returning the
tentative statements•
The differences of which you speak were not errors in any
mathematical or arithmetical sense*
That is to say, although it is
true that we charged long distance calls in amount of $23#8U over and
above such charges as contained in bills of the Federal Reserve Bankf
the explanation is that these charges came through our bills from the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Co*., and the charges were not unrelated to your project.
Nevertheless, I think it fair to presume that such items
are comprehended in our charge for overheadr
I am not sure whether
I have understood correctly that the latter was intended to be entirely
in lieu of such items, but have intended to report to you on this
basisj that is to say, the basis whereby you would not be charged for
both direct and indirect costs•
Therefore, I wish to apologize for this double counting, as
it were, and have taken the $23»8lj. off your account. (It comes out of
the "other expenses11 and total for the 6 months period ended Dec. 31,
1955. )
I am sending these reports to the typist, and will send
you the 12 copies of each not later than Thursday, special delivery.
sincerely,
27 f 1956
Dear Miss Haroney;
Thanks so such for sending us the two financial statements for which
I asked on January 24.th* lou were quite right in assuming that these are all
I expected. Items 1 and 2 have been discussed in substance with Dr* Calkins,
and he has promised to bring along rough guesses out of his experience which
will serve us.
Ve have gone over the two sheets with care and h&ve only two
question marks* In the first place, some of your figures do not quite
accord with our figures* Only in the metier of telephone and telegraph is
there any important difference, but here we find ourselves charged for about
$20 more then ve thought ve spent* Would you mind checking back and making
sure that ve are wrong* Ve ere era&asing the monthly ecoounts on that item.
In the second place, yould you be so kind fts to ask the typist to
include the starring of certain items which I h^ve done in order to make thea
understood on sight* This will, I think* help th« p**ople who look at the
account*
We will need 12 copies of each* With the exception of the questioned figures, they can be copied direct froa these sheets* As I said in
ay previous letter, we would be most grateful if we could have these by
Friday, February 3rd, in this office.
thanks ever so much for your good help in this*
Sincerely yours,
Mildred Adams

statements which were requested in your letter of January 2iw

the form which you require, and hem marry copies of each are required'

should be made first*
I assume that I am not expected to supply Items 1 and 2
as listed in your letter of January 2U as I have no knowledge of
the ideas and proposals to whj.chVou allude #

the fiscal year 1954-55* 6 of those deys I have taken; 2 remain
to me,
According to Brookings Regulations effective July 19
1955f I BM entitled to 24 <teys Ttcation fearned in the fiscal year
1955-56 {2 d®ys per month)•
The total then i s 26 days.
If this i s correct, I vould like to find out
2 remaining days accumulated in 1954*55 ffiust be takes*
to the 1954 Regulations (vacation must bo taken within
expiration of fiscal year)* I have to take them before
