ANNUAL REPORT ON
THE FINANCES.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Washington., December 1, 191S.
SIR : The Secretary of the Treasury has the honor to make the following report:
FINANCIAL AID TO DAYTON, OHIO.
I n the latter part of March, 1913, a great storm swept over the Ohio
Valley, causing disastrous floods, from which the city of Dayton,
Ohio, became a special sufferer. So serious were the losses, that, as
the waters began to recede, the banks in that city were afraid to
reopen their doors because of the temporary impairment of confidence^—subsequently happily dissipated—in the recuperative powers
of the city and in the ability of the banks to meet the extraordinary
demands which might be made upon them.
On the 4th of April, 1913, a telegram was received from the chairman of the Citizens' Eelief Committee, asking that a representative of
the Department " be sent right away to see about financing our banking institutions," etc. A national-bank examiner was immediately
dispatched to Dayton, and within twenty-four hours after his arrival,
and upon his recommendation, the Department designated every national bank in the city of Dayton as a Government depositary, and
announced that it would deposit in said national banks $2,000,000
of Government funds, to be secured by State, municipal, or other
local bonds acceptable to the Secretary of the Treasury. The effect
of this action was to restore confidence at once. The banks reopened
their doors, and instead of the anticipated need of $2,000,000, the
Treasury was called on for only $182,000.
$500,000,000 EMERGENCY CURRENCY ANNOUNCEMENT.
A special session of Congress convened on April 7,1913, and immediately began to consider the important questions of tariff and currency reform. The vast economic changes involved in these two
important questions had ,the natural effect of causing in many quarters apprehension as to the possible effects of the anticipated legislation. A feeling of unrest began to pervade business circles. This

R E P O R T O N T H E FINANCES.
was accentuated by a certain propaganda of pessimism which, whether
designedly or not, produced a condition of extreme nervousness and
tension. In the early part of June this assumed a serious aspect.
Complaints began to reach the Department from many parts of the
country that credits were being restricted, and that it was increasingly difficult to secure funds for the normal needs of legitimate business. To what extent these reports were justified there was no exact
means of ascertaining, but the general conditions indicated a more or
less acute state of affairs. In order to relieve anxiety and to let the
business interests of the country understand that there was no occasion for unreasonable restriction of credits, and to destroy apprehension based upon unjustifiable fears, and to assure the country that the
means were at hand to cope successfully with any situation that
might arise, the Secretary announced that there was actually on hand
in the Treasury and ready for immediate delivery to any and every
bank complying with the requirements of the law, five hundred
million dollars ($500,000,000) in new national-bank note currency,
which the Secretary said he would not hesitate to issue under the
provisions of the Aldrich-Vreeland Act of May 30, 1908, to banks
making application therefor in accordance with the terms of that
act. The relief occasioned by this announcement was instantaneous.
Confidence of the banks in their ability to meet the demands of their
customers was largely restored and the unfavorable symptoms
promptly disappeared. So completely effective was this action that
none of the five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000) of currency
was applied for by the banks.
CROP-MOVING DEPOSITS.
Toward the latter part of July symptoms of uneasiness began to
reappear. There was much talk about the difiiculty of moving the
fall crops and the annual apprehension on this score began to stalk
about the country with more than usual vigor. I t is a characteristic
of our imperfect and unsatisfactory banking system that the very
prosperity of the country becomes, at times, a menace, because of the
apprehended inability of the banks to meet the seasonal demand for
the large amounts of money required to move a bounteous harvest.
Conditions were again becoming acute when the Secretary determined to deposit from twenty-five millions to fifty millions of dollars
of Government funds in the national banks in those parts of the
country where the necessity for funds to move the crops existed.
The Secretary announced that, as security for such deposits, highclass commercial paper would be accepted at 65 per cent of its face
value, bearing the indorsement of the depositary bank. This was an
unprecedented step, because commercial paper had never before
been accepted as security for Government deposits. I t was, how-

ever, a necessary and highly beneficial step, because it enabled the
banks to obtain the required funds upon the pledge of available paper
already in their vaults. If the banks had been obliged to secure
these deposits with Government bonds or other fixed investments,
the relief would not have been effective, because many of the banks
would have been compelled to use the deposits for the purchase of
the bonds required by the Government as security.
In order to distribute intelligently the crop-moving deposits, three
conventions of bankers were held at the Treasury Department in
Washington during August, 1913, the first composed of bankers from
the South and Southwestern States; the second composed of
bankers from the Middle Western and Northwestern States; the
third composed of bankers from the Pacific Coast and Eocky Mountain States. I t was not necessary to extend aid to the Eastern States,
although the Department was ready to do so if it had been required.
It was essential that the action of the Department should be nonpartisan and nonpolitical; the crops of Eepublicans, Democrats,
Progressives, and all other classes of the people, had to be moved,
and the earnest desire of the Department was to have the benefits
of this action diffused as widely and impartially as possible. The
clearing-house associations in each of the cities invited to participate
in the conferences were asked, therefore,, to name the delegates. A
most interesting and intelligent body of men assembled in Washington and discussed with the Secretary and Assistant Secretary Williams (in charge of the fiscal bureaus) the needs of their seveial
communities and sections. As a result, allotment of these funds was
made upon the basis of the testimony of their several representatives,
as follows:
South and Southwest
Middle and Northwest
Pacific Coast and Rocky Mountain
Total
'.
$22, 550, 000
_______! 19,000,000
^__ 4,950,000
46,500,000
The Department, having no machinery for the investigation of
local credits, was obliged to rely upon the banks in the larger cities
as instrumentalities for the distribution of Government funds to the
banks in the smaller communities. I n the discussions at Washington, the representatives of the banks were urged to pass the Government funds on to their country correspondents upon reasonable
terms. The Secretary is gratified to be able to say that in most instances this was done upon a basis that seemed fair to all concerned.
The effect of this action was highly beneficial. Confidence was
restored. The readiness of the Government to meet every reasonable need of the banks for the legitimate purposes of crop moving
had the happy effect, so the Department is informed, of causing much
4-

hoarded money to be deposited in the banks. This increased their
ability to take care of their customers, and caused a decided relaxation
in the demands of country correspondents for accommodation, which,
prior to the announcement of the Secretary, had been much greater
than usual, because the small banks were attempting, very naturally,
to impound all the funds they could get to make them safe against
the anticipated stringency. The moment it became loiown that the
Government stood ready to assist, the tension was relieved, business resumed a normal aspect, and the fall movement of crops, trade,
and commerce proceeded upon an easier and safer basis than for
many years past.
I t is interesting to note that of the fifty million dollars which the
Department offered to place in the banks for crop-moving purposes,
only $34,661,000 had been called for up to November 25, 1913. These
funds will be gradually repaid to the Treasury beginning in January, 1914.
CURRENCY LEGISLATION.
The psychological arid practical value of these incidents can not be
overestimated. They demonstrate clearly that any improvement in
our financial system which will permanently establish confidence will
in itself be an immense gain, and if that improved financial system
assures the opportunity to secure at all times the necessary funds and
credits to meet the expanding and legitimate needs of the commerce
and industry of the country, it will be an achievement of enduring
benefit.
These incidents also show conclusively the enormous value of an
altruistic governmental agency in the financial affairs of the country.
So long as the Government has the power to intervene in a beneficent
and unselfish way, the danger of panics and of unjust practices will
be largely, if not wholly, destroyed. This is one of the chief objects
sought in the proposed reformation and reorganization of our banking and currency system. The people of the country are to be congratulated upon the early prospect of sound legislation on this vitally
important subject. Should the Congress enact the fundamentals of
the pending measure, it is believed that permanent protection will
be provided against recurring cornmercial crises and that adequate
facilities will be created for that legitimate and sound expansion of
credits so vital to the prosperity of our great and growing country.
I t has been, and will continue to be, the policy and purpose of the
Secretary to exercise all the powers of the Department for the protection of the public and the legitimate business interests of the
country.
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

INTEREST ON GOVERNMENT DEPOSITS.
Prior to 1908 interest had never been required on Government
deposits. After the act of 1908 interest at the rate of 1 per cent
per annum was collected on so-called " inactive accounts " in national
banks. By " inactive accounts " is meant a special deposit (usually
$1,000) which remains fixed or stationary in amount. The aggregate
of such accounts on the 1st day of June, 1913, was $1,286,500, and the
entire amount of interest collected by the Government thereon during
the preceding period of about five years was approximately $715,000.
On April 30, 1913, the Secretary announced that beginning June 1,
1913, all Government depositaries, active as well as inactive, would
be required to pay interest at the rate of 2 per cent per annum on Government funds. Only 9 of the total number of national banks holding Government deposits refused to pay interest under the new
regulation.
Hundreds of applications were received from other banks seeking
Government deposits on the new terms, many of which were granted.
The Government has not had the slightest difficulty in placing its
deposits at 2 per cent interest.
On the 1st of November, 1913, the total amount of Government
funds on deposit in national banks was reported at $98,334,917.36,
which, if this average balance should be retained, would add to the
net revenues of the Government approximately two million dollars
($2,000,000) per annum.
A careful calculation has been made of. the amount of public
money on deposit in national banks throughout the country for the
16 years preceding the 4th of March, 1913, namely, from 1897
to 1913, and it has been found that if the present policy of charging
2 per cent interest on such deposits had been established in 1897,
the Government would have received during that 16-year period a
total of about $30,610,381.
INCOME TAX.
The passage of the income-tax law on the 3d of October, 1913,
placed new duties and great responsibilities on the Treasury Department. This law went into effect immediately with the proviso that
collections at the source should begin on the 1st day of November,
1913. Only 28 days, therefore, were allowed the Department within
which to prepare regulations covering the collection of the tax at
the source. Many intricate and difficult problems are involved in the
initiation of a new law so far-reaching in its effects and so complicated in its operations. The Department, however, took vigorous
hold of the matter, and on October 25 issued the first of the series of
6
REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
necessary regulations, namely, those governing the collection of the
tax, at the source, on coupon aiid registered interest payments on
bonded debts of corporations, etc. Supplementary regulations are
being issued from time to time, relating to other features and phases
of the law. The additional organization required for the administration of this law is being created as rapidly as possible. A certain
amount of confusion and inconvenience at the beginning is unavoidable, but every effort of the Department will be exerted fairly and
justly to interpret, elucidate, and administer the law in a reasonable
spirit.
I t is estimated that there are 425,000 individuals subject to the
income tax. The number of corporations making returns to the
Department for the calendar year 1912 was 305,336, but of these,
244,220 claimed no income or a net income of less than $5,000 and
were, therefore, not subject to taxation. Under the new law, all
corporations having any net earnings whatever are subject to the
payment of an income tax, whether their earnings be more or less
than $5,000. I t is expected, therefore, that approximately 150,000
corporations which have heretofore been exempt will now be required
to pay an income tax.
CUSTOMS SERVICE.
The principal achievement of the Customs Service in the fiscal year
1913 was the reorganization of that service under the Executive
order dated March 3, 1913, in pursuance of the authority granted
in the act of Congress approved April 23, 1912.
Prior to this reorganization there were 126 customs districts and
38 independent ports. The limits of many districts were not clearly
defined, and some of the districts overlapped, while large portions
of territory were not included within any customs district. By the
reorganization, the entire country was included in 49 customs districts, each with clearly defined limits, and all ports were included in
one or another of these districts and subjected to the control aud
supervision of the collector appointed for the district.
The system of compensating collectors of customs through fees,
storage charges, and other emoluments was abolished, and all collectors were placed on a salary basis payable by the Government, all
fees collected being required to be deposited and accounted for to the
credit of the United States.
By the reorganization, the right of certain collectors of customs to
sell blank forms at 10 cents each, solely for their own account arid
benefit, was taken away. Prior to the reorganization, those having
business with the customhouses where this practice was permitted
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
7
found it expedient to purchase their forms from collectors at a price
ten or more times their actual value. Such forms are, under the
reorganization, being sold at 1 cent each, and the proceeds are deposited to the credit of the Treasury.
The reorganization as it actually went into effect on July 1, 1913,
was, on a basis of expense, $356,000 annually less than the prior
organization.
During the latter part of the fiscal year 1913, when revision of
the tariff was under consideration by Congress, this Department closely followed the legislation as formulated, in order to be in
the best' position properly to administer the law when enacted, and
cooperated with the various committees of Congress by furnishing
such expert advice as it was able to command through its various
officers and employees familiar with tariff legislation and the administration of the customs laws.
The tariff act, materially reducing the rates of duty, went into
effect on October 4, 1913, without any delays or inconvenience to
business, other than the slight delay occasioned by the Jarge volume
of warehouse withdrawals, due to the congestion of merchandise
which had been stored in bonded warehouses pending the passage
of the new act, and the natural rush to withdraw the same immediately after the act became effective. While the new act will be
simpler of application than the act of 1909, the present indications
are that the volume of imports will largely increase, and that the
change from specific to ad valorem rates will require considerable
adjustment in the customs force to meet the new conditions. The
measure has not been in force for a sufficient length of time to make
possible an accurate estimate of its ultimate revenue-producing
powers.
Convention of customs coUectors.
I n view of the reorganization and consolidation of the customs
service, and of the ncAv tariff act, it seemed advisable to call a convention of the collectors of customs in all parts of the country, including Hawaii and Porto Eico, for the purpose of devising new
methods for increasing efficiency, reducing expenses, and eliminating
useless and unnecessary processes, as well as to diffuse a uniform and
common understanding of the requirements of the new law, to reimpress collectors of customs with the importance of their duties, and
to establish more effective means of cooperation in the common work.
This convention, the first of its kind ever held, was eminently successful. The interchange of views, and the consideration of the
problems involved, will result in the elimination of useless efforts, a

saving in expenditures, and the standardizing of the work and rates
of compensation paid for similar services at the various ports of
entry.
C H A N G E I N T H E M A N N E R OF H A N D L I N G AND DISBURSING P U B L I C F U N D S .
On the 9th of January^ 1913, former Secretary MacVeagh issued
Department Circular No. 5, which inaugTirated a radical change in
the manner of handling and disbursing tJie public funds. The objects
to be accomplished were announced as follows:
For the purpose of bringing the ordinary fiscal transactions of the Federal
Government more nearly into harmony with present business practices, it has
been determined that the daily receipts of the Government shall be placed with
the national-bank depositaries to the credit of the Treasurer of the United
states. Disbursements will be made by warrant or check drawn on the Treasurer, but payable by national-bank depositaries, as well as by the Treasurer and
subtreasuries.
The new system of accounting went into operation on February 1,
1913, and, as usual in such changes, complications, confusion, and
delays attended its introduction, causing some embarrassment, but
gradually the difficulties at first encountered are disappearing, and
the system appears to.respond to the public requirements, and to be
accomplishing the purposes for which it was devised.
P U B L I C H E A L T H SERVICE.
The attention of the Congress is invited to the report of the
Surgeon General upon the operations of the Public Health Service.
The importance of this service can not be overestimated. I t is daily
growing in usefulness. Through the Public Health Service we are
securing real conservation of our human resources, the first of all of
our natural resources. Conservation of our material natural resources will be enhanced and simplified if conservation of our human
natural resources is of the right sort. A vigorous, virile, and healthful race is of superlative importance. By a wise enlargement of the
functions and a rational extension of the facilities of the Public
Health Service through constantly generous, but not prodigal, appropriations this vital end may be achieved.
N E W R E V E N U E CUTTERS.
The Congress is respectfully urged to grant the necessary authority
and appropriation for the prompt construction of four new revenue
cutters. The service is being seriously crippled for lack of these
ships. The necessity for them is imperative.
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
COAST GUARD.
Suggestions frequently have been made for the consolidation of the
Eevenue-Cutter Service and the Life-Saving Service into one organization, to be known as the " Coast Guard," for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of these two kindred branches of the Government,
each of which is engaged in higlily important humanitarian work in
time of peace. The Life-Saving Service will by this means secure a
military status and will become a first naval reserve in time of war.
Attention is invited to the remarks of the Captain Commandant of
the Eevenue-Cutter Service on this subject, which are incorporated
in the abstracts of reports of bureaus and divisions attached to this
report. The Secretary is of the firm belief that the organization of a
Coast Guard, as proposed, would be a wise act and constructive administration of the best sort. Unless this is done the personnel of the
Life-Saving Service will deteriorate, and there will be increasing difficulty in maintaining the service at a reasonable point of efficiency.
The humanitarian achievements alone of the combined EevenueCutter and Life-Saving Services, as evidenced by 4,423 human lives
rescued from peril in the year 1913, justifies, if it does not require,
the earnest and powerful support of the Congress. On the material
side, the amount of property saved, or to which assistance was rendered, in the year 1913 alone, was $16,659,545. Material considerations combine with the humanitarian to emphasize the necessity for
maintaining and improving this splendid service—a service unapproached in its unique and useful functions by that of any other
nation in the world.
ICE PATROL.
During the months of April, May, and June last, the ice region
in the North Atlantic Ocean was patrolled by the revenue cutters
Seneca and Miami^ and warnings of the location of dangerous icebergs and floes were sent out by radio to the east and west bound
trans-Atlantic steamships. The duty was performed at the urgent
solicitation of the maritime associations at the principal seaports on
the Atlantic Coast. I t is now nearly two years since the loss of the
Titanic^ and during both ice seasons since that lamentable affair the
patrol has been maintained practically by the United States Government alone.
This patrol should be discontinued, and the important maritime
nations should unite in defining lanes of travel across the North
Atlantic, so as to avoid all danger of icebergs during the months of
April, May, and June of each year, and compel the steamship companies to observe them. This would result in increasing, to some
10
REPORT ON T H E
FINANCES.
extent, the time of ocean passage during these three months, but it
would, on the other hand, insure immunity from the dangers of
icebergs during this season. The steamship companies should not be
permitted to jeopardize needlessly human life for the purpose of
shortening the trans-Atlantic journey by a few hours and saving a
comparatively few dollars; but if they are, then they should be compelled to maintain an effective ice patrol at their own cost. Failing
this, it would appear equitable that each of the maritime nations
concerned should, in the future, perform its share of this duty if it
be determined to maintain this patrol. This matter is to be brought
to the attention of the International Conference on Safety at Sea,
now in session at London, by the American delegate representing this
Department.
SAVING OF L I F E AND PROPERTY O N I N T E R I O R NAVIGABLE RIVERS AND WATERS.
The annual overflowing of the Ohio and Mississippi Eivers and
their tributaries, the great loss of life and property incident thereto,
and the necessity, as evidenced last year, of sending from the Great
Lakes and the Atlantic ports skilled men and life-saving apparatus
to aid in saving lives in the inundated regions, present a legitimate
field for the operations of the Eevenue-Cutter Service. Three typical
light-draft river steamers should be constructed and equipped as
revenue cutters; each of these craft provided with not less than 4
powerful motor lifeboats, and with such other life-saving appliances as may be necessary for work along the rivers. During the
flood seasons, these cutters should be directed to follow the crest of
the flood from Pittsburgh down to the mouth of the Mississippi, and
there is but little doubt that their services would be of great value in
rescuing lives and property, and in distributing food and clothing to
marooned people. During flood times surgeons could be detailed to
the cutters to render medical aid where needed. "When floods are not
raging, the 3 cutters could be very efficiently used in patrol of these
inland waters for the enforcement of the navigation and motor-boat
laws, and in rendering aid to vessels in distress.
Headquarters should be established at Louisville or Cincinnati on
the Ohio, at St. Louis on the Upper Mississippi, and at Helena, Ark.,
or Vicksburg, Miss., on the Lower Mississippi.
Cutters of this type can be constructed and properly equipped for
$80,000 each, or a total of $240,000 for the three. The annual cost
of maintenance would be approximately $80,000 for the 3 cutters,
a small sum to expend for the saving of life and property when compared with the vast sums annually lost through these floods.

PANAMA CANAL.
Transactions in the finances of the Government during the fiscal
year favored the maintenance of an adequate working balance in the
Treasury, and it was therefore unnecessary to sell additional bonds
for the construction of the Panama Canal. Expenditures on the
waterway during the year, amounting to $41,741,258.03, were paid
out of the general fund of the Treasury. The total net balance so
expended from the general fund to June 30, 1913, reimbursable from
the proceeds of bonds not yet sold, was $179,627,617.07.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS COMMISSION.
The public buildings act, approved March 4, 1913, provided for a
commission, with the Secretary of the Treasury as chairman, which
shall " present to Congress a connected scheme, involving annual
appropriations for the construction and completion of public buildings heretofore authorized within a reasonable time, and shall frame
a standard or standards by which the size and cost of public buildings
shall, as far as practicable, be determined, and shall report as to the
adaptability in size, accommodations, and cost of buildings hitherto
authorized to the requirements of the communities in which they are
to be located, and also w;hether the existing appropriations should
be increased or diminished to meet such requirements."
This commission has been organized and its work is well under
way. A careful and thorough investigation of this important subject, in all of its phases, has been undertaken, and promises to produce
excellent results. The report of the commission will, if possible, be
transmitted to the Congress before the close of the fiscal year.
CENTRAL HEATING AND POWER PLANT.
The sundry civil act, approved June 23, 1913, authorizes the construction of a central heating and power plant and places the direction of this very important project in the hands of this Department.
This plant will furnish heat, light, and power for the old and new
buildings of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the buildings of
the Department of Agriculture, the Treasury Building, the White
House and the buildings on its grounds, the State, War and Navy
Building, the Winder Building, the Mills Building, the Court of
Claims Building, the new and old buildings for the National Museum,
the Smithsonian Building, the Army Medical Museum Building, the
Fish Commission Building, the Washington Monument, the District
Building, the Post Office Department Building, and the buildings.

when constructed, for the Departments of State, Justice, Commerce,
and Labor.
At the time this plant is completed, it will undoubtedly be required
to serve the new Interior Department office building authorized to be
constructed on the site at Eighteenth and F Streets, the Lincoln
Memorial, and any similar buildings or structures which may be
authorized in the interim.
The Department is now preparing to carry into effect the provisions of the existing legislation and arrange for the construction of
this plant.
CONTINGENT FUND.
The " Contingent fund for the Secretary of the Treasury " for the
current fiscal year is $20,000. This sum is wholly inadequate to do
the effective work which can and ought to be done in the public interest. The activities of the Treasury Department are so great and
varied, and are increasing so much with the rapid growth of the
country and with the new duties and responsibilities imposed upon
the Department—such, for instance, as the new income-tax law—
that the Secretary should at all times have a sufficient fund to enable
him to make effective investigations in any part of the country that
will enable him to improve the administrative methods of the Department, to eradicate abuses, and to protect the public interest. I t
is earnestly hoped that the Congress will grant an appropriation of
$50,000 for the contingent fund.

ESTIMATES.
The ordinary receipts for the fiscal year 1914 are estimated at
$736,000,000 and the ordinary disbursements at $701,900,000,
showing an estimated surplus of ordinary receipts over ordinary
disbursements of $34,100,000 for the year ending June 30, 1914.
Payments which may be made for the Panama Canal during the
year from the general fund, in the estimated sum of $41,000,000,
would, however, absorb the excess of ordinary receipts and show an
excess of disbursements of $6,900,000.
With a new tariff and income tax law in operation under the act of
Congress approved October 3, 1913, it is evident that the annual
revenues to be received under its provisions can not be approximated
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915, as closely as would be the case
if comparisons could be made with tha operations of this law for
three-quarters of a preceding year. However, it is estimated that,
for the fiscal year 1915, the ordinary receipts of the Government
will be $728,000,000.
The estimates for the"" ordinary and extraordinary appropriations for
1915 payable from the general fund of the Treasury, as submitted by
the several executive departments and oflSices, are $714,684,675.02,
which would indicate on the basis of estimated receipts an excess of
ordinary receipts over ordinary expenditures of $13,315,324.98, but as
the appropriations for public works can not be expended in full during the year, it is estimated that the charge upon the general fund for
1915 for ordinary purposes will not exceed $702,000,000, and that
the ordinary receipts will therefore probably exceed the ordinary
expenditures by the sum of $26,000,000.
The estimated expenditures for the Panama Canal to be paid from
the general fund without sales of bonds are estimated at $26,326,985,
and the excess of ordinary receipts should therefore practically meet
the payments which may be made for the canal under the appropriations as submitted for the year 1915.
Detailed estimates for the fiscal years 1914 and 1915 follow:

estimates, as payments on these accounts will probably be approxijnately offset by receipts from postal sa\dngs bonds.

ABSTRACTS OF REPORTS OF BUREAUS AND DIVISIONS.
The following is a summary of the reports of bureaus and divisions
of the Treasury Department for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1913,
with the exception that the figures in relation to public moneys and
loans and currency are brought to November 1:
TREASURER OF THE UNITED STATES.
The ordinary revenues, by warrants, and adjustments for moneys
received but not covered by warrants in the year were $724,111,229.84, an increase of $32,332,764.47 over those of 1912, while the
ordinary disbursements were $682,770,705.51, an increase of $28,216,742.04, as shown by similar comparison. The net result of ordinary
transactions was a surplus of $41,340,524.33.
The balance in the general fund June 30, 1913, was $165,960,984.79,
which was less by $1,191,494.20 than the balance on June 30, 1912.
The working balance in the vaults of the Treasury was $71,052,925.96.
Transactions in the governmental finances during the fiscal year
favored the maintenance of an adequate working balance in the
Treasury; therefore it was not deemed advisable to offer for sale additional bonds of the Panama Canal loan. The expenses incurred in
the construction of the canal during the year, amounting to $41,741,258.03, were paid out of the general fund of the Treasury, and the
total net balance so expended to June 30, 1913, reimbursable from
the proceeds of bonds not yet sold, was $179,627,617.07.
Postal savings bonds, authorized by the act of June 25, 1910, were
issued during the year to the amount of $1,929,840, while the deposits
of lawful money of the United States, under the act of July 14, 1890,
to retire national-bank notes were $21,471,010, making a total of
$23,400,850 in actual cash received on account of the public debt
proper. The cash disbursements on account of the principal of matured loans and fractional currency were $102,575, and for national
bank notes canceled and retired $24,089,035.50, a total disbursement
for the public debt of $24,191,610.50. The net result was an excess
of disbursements of $790,760.50.
The trust funds, consisting of gold and silver dollars, held for redemption of the certificates and notes for which they are respectively
pledged, amounted to $1,573,157,169 at the close of the last fiscal
year, an increase of $48,621,800 as compared with that of 1912.
The redemptions from the reserve fund during the fiscal year 1913
were, in United States notes, $67,850,957, and in Treasury notes of
1890, $67,830, making a total of $67,918,787. The redeemed notes
were restored to the general fund in exchange for gold, and the reserve
thereby maintained at the fixed amount of $150,000,000. There was
31
32
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
no apparent disposition on the part of holders of United States notes
to use them in withdrawing gold coin from the Treasury. The
transactions in the reserve fund represent more triily exchanges to
secure an accommodation in denominations of currency.
Gold continues to accumulate in the Treasury, and the holdings on
June 30, 1913, amounted to $1,262,361,035.87, of which $1,011,245,007.44 was in coin. Set apart for the respective uses, it was held on
the following accounts: Reserve fund, $150,000,000; trustfunds (for
redemption of gold certificates in actual circulation), $1,003,997,709;
and in general fund (belonging to the Treasury), $108,363,326.87.
The imports of gold during the year were $69,194,025, the exports
$77,762,622, and the net excess of exports $8,568,597.
The United States bonds pledged to secure bank circulation increased $16,035,510 during the fiscal year and amounted to $740,529,250 on June 30, 1913. The securities pledged for pubhc deposits
in national banks amounted to $61,646,300. Under the provisions
of the act of June 25, 1910, estabhshing the Postal Savings System,
the Treasurer of the United States held in trust, as security for postal
savings, bonds and securities amounting to $63,851,061.42 on June
30, 1913
National-bank notes presented for redemption during the fiscal year
1913 amounted to $675,889,000, or 90.01 per cent of the average circulation outstanding. Of the total received, 47.62 per cent was sent
by banks in New York City. The largest amount presented during
a month was $79,753,664 in January, and the smallest, $41,816,565,
in September. The national-bank notes assorted and dehvered during the year amounted to $669,405,645.50, of which $218,884,750 were
returned to the respective banks of issue for further circulation.
Redemptions of national-bank notes during the year have been in
excess of the 5 per cent fund in all months except portions of December and January, and the Treasury advanced payment out of the
general fund as the notes were received. The largest overdraft at one
time was $23,914,635.44 on January 18, 1913. The expenses incurred
for redemptions of national-bank notes during the year amounted to
$517,842.93 and have been assessed upon the banks in proportion to
their notes redeemed at the rate of $0.77293 per $1,000.
At the close of the fiscal year 1913 the general stock of money in
the United States amounted to $3,720,070,016, an increase of
$71,199,366 as compared with that of 12 months earher. Gold took
on a growth of $52,573,418, the silver coins advanced in volume by
$4,872,034, and national-bank notes furnished $14,022,914 of the
total increase. Treasury notes to the amount of $269,000 were canceled and retired. The money in circulation increased in volume by
$79,225,356 and amounted to $3,363,738,449 on June 30, 1913. The
circulation per capita was $34.56 and the share of gold to whole
circulation 47.93 per cent.

The notes and certificates of United States paper currency issued
during the fiscal year numbered 318,264,407 pieces, of the total value
of $1,035,462,000. . The redemptions were 291,131,640 pieces, of the
total value of $987,060,200. The pieces outstanding number
354,461,922, of the total value of $1,920,618,185. There is great
demand for denominations of $5. and under, and the burden of supplying these denominations falls upon the Treasury. The department has employed all its resources to respond to the needs of business. Through the process of redeeming the larger denominations of
United States paper currency and issuing smaller denominations in
Ueu thereof, the Treasury has been enabled to supply the greater part
of the demand for such bills. The denominations of gold certificates
are restricted to $10 and above, but as the department is hmited in
its resources for the issue of currency of small denominations it
becomes more apparent each year that a $5 gold certificate is an
absolute necessity. Large amounts of gold certificates are returned
to the Treasury daily for redemption, usually accompanied with a
request for the return of a part of the proceeds in denominations of
$5. If the department was clothed with authority to issue a $5 gold
certificate, it would be in condition to respond to all demands for
denominations of $5 and under. The average cost of each piece of
United States paper currency issued and redeemed is about 1.526
cents, and the annual cost of maintenance of the currency issued by
the National Government averages shghtly more than one-fifth of 1
per cent of the amount outstanding.
Shipments of gold, silver, and minor coins to depositors therefor,
at the expense of the consignee for transportation, during the fiscal
year were: Gold coin, $11,513,233.50; standard silver dollars,
$12,560,078; subsidiary silver coin, $22,767,796.80; and minor coin,
$5,391,313.92.
The shipments of currency from the Treasury in Washington to the
subtreasuries and to the banks during the fiscal year 1913 amounted to
$882,677,335, against $761,847,077 during the preceding year.
The balance of pubhc moneys on deposit in national banks at the
beginning of the fiscal year 1913 amounted to $48,506,185.77. The
working balance in the Treasury offices at the same time was $98,742,425.40, an amount largely in excess of the actual requirements
of the department for the transaction of the pubhc business. As
there was no necessity for withdrawing the pubhc deposits from
national banks, there was but shght change in the total balances of
pubhc moneys therein during the first half of the fiscal year.
On January 9, 1913, the Secretary of the Treasury (Mr. MacVeagh)
issued Department Circular No. 5, which inaugurated a radical
change in the manner of handling and disbursing the pubhc funds.
I t provided, first, that on and after February 1, 1913, every deposit of
16726°—FI 1913

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
funds to the official credit of a disbursing officer (except those stationed in the Philippine Islands) should be made with the Treasurer
of the United States; second, all moneys standing to the ofl^icial
credit of disbursing officers with assistant treasurers and active
designated depositary banks at the close of business January 31,1913,
should be transferred to hke credit of such disbursing officers with
the Treasurer of the United States, through the medium of the general
account of the Treasurer of the United States; third, aU Treasury
Department warrants. Post Office Department warrants, disbursing
ofl&cers' checks, checks in payment of interest on the public debt, and
Secretary's special deposit checks should be drawn on the Treasurer of
the United States. I t contemplated that each assistant treasurer and
each active depositary bank should pay the warrants and checks enumerated in the foregoing when drawn on the.Treasurer of the United
States and presented in due course of business; the warrants and
checks so paid to be scheduled daily, charged in the regular transcript
of the general account as a transfer of funds, and forwarded to the
Treasurer of the United States. I t made necessary a more extended
use of national banks as Government depositaries, and required
an adjustment of the balances then in such depositaries with a view
of making a broader distribution of the pubhc funds. At the close
of January, immediately preceding the beginning of operations
under the new system of accounting, the pubhc deposits in banks
amounted to $46,580,888. 59. At the close of the fiscal year on June
30, 1913, the total balance of pubhc moneys held by banks was
$76,263,615.06.
District of Columbia.
The net expenditures on account of the District of Columbia for
the fiscal year 1913 by warrants paid were $12,841,210.79. The net
revenues deposited in the Treasury by warrants on this account for
the same period were $8,827,580.69.
The amount of the funded debt retired during the year was $647,700,
reducing the annual interest charge by $23,641.05.
The total issue of the 3.65 per cent bonds is limited by law to
$15,000,000, and of this sum $14,997,300 has been issued, of which
$7,386,450 has been redeemed. The bonded debt outstanding June 30,
1913, consisted of $7,610,850 in bonds bearing 3.65 per cent interest.
At the close of the fiscal year 1913 the 10 per cent guaranty fund
retained from District of Columbia contractors amounted to $252,808.18, and was represented by $157,010 in bonds, purchased at the
request and risk of contractors, and $90,143.35 uninvested cash.
Detailed information in regard to the affairs of the District of
Columbia will be found in the reports of the District Commissioners
and the Treasurer of the United States, ex officio cominissioner of
the sinking fund of the District of Columbia.

COMPTROLLER OP THE CURRENCY.
At the close of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1913, there were in
active operation 7,492 national banks, with authorized capital of
$1,063,986,175; bonds to secure circulation, $740,529,250; circulation outstanding on bonds, $737,065,050; and circulation secured by
' deposit of lawful money, $22,092,856, or a total of $759,157,906.
Since the national-banking system was first estabhshed charters
have been issued to 10,415 banks. Of the banks chartered, 2,420
have left the system by voluntary liquidation and 503 failed and
affairs hquidated through instrumentahty of receivers. During the
fiscal year the Comptroller of the Currency issued charters to 196
national banks, with authorized capital aggregating $15,195,000, which
number included 48 conversions of State banks, 50 reorganizations
of State and private banks, and 98 primary organizations. I n the
same period 98 national banks discontinued business, of which 94
were placed in voluntarj^ hquidation by their stockholders and 4
failed and were placed in charge of receivers. I n addition a receiver
was appointed for one bank that had been previously placed in voluntary liquidation by its shareholders. Of the banks placed in voluntary liquidation, 43 were either absorbed by or reorganized as
State banks, 39 were taken over by national banks, 8 were reorganized
as national banks, and 4 discontinued business. I n the number of
banks liquidated are included 4 associations the corporate existence
of which expired by limitation. The 5 banks for which receivers
were appointed during the year had capital at the date of closing
aggregating $750,000, and the liabihties to depositors and other
general creditors amounted to $3,469,-546.59. Three of the 5 banks
that failed paid dividends to creditors as follows: One, 50 per cent;
one, 25 per cent; and one, 20 per cent.
From the date of the passage of the national-bank act, February 25,
1863, to June 3, 1864, the date on which it was repealed, there were
456 national banks chartered, of which 226 are still in active operation. Under the act of 1864 charters were granted to 6,677 associations, under the gold bank act of 1870 to 10, and under the act of
1900 to 3,272.
The act of March 14, 1900, authorized the incorporation of national
banks with minimum capital of $25,000, and permitted the issue of
circulation to the par value of bonds deposited, and reduced the tax
on circulating notes. On that date there were in operation 3,617
national banks, and since that date to July 1, 1913, 5,151 national
banks, with aggregate capital of $329,248,300, have been authorized
to begin business, of which number 3,272 banks, with aggregate
capital of $85,270,500, were chartered under authority of the act of
March 14, 1900, with individual capital of less than $50,000. The
36
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
majority of these banks incorporated with the minimum capital of
$25,000, the average capital of the banks of this class being $26,060.
The remaining banks organized during the period mentioned, 1,879
in number, with capital of $243,977,800, were incorporated under
the act of 1864.
A comparison of conditions on March 14, 1900, with those of June =
30, 1913, shows the net increase in the number of banks in operation
to be 3,875, and in authorized capital $447,678,080. Outstanding
circulation of the banks has increased during t h a t period from
$254,402,730 to $759,157,906—an increase .of $504,755,176. During
the fiscal year 1913 the bond-secured circulation increased
$16,640,940, or from $720,424,110 to $737,065,050. The amount of
circulation secured by the deposit of lawful money was, at the close
of business on June 30 last, $2,618,026 less than the amount on
June 30 of the prior year. The total increase during the year of
circulation secured by bonds and by lawful money amounted to
$14,022,914.
The percentage of national banks closed or which are being closed
by receivers is 4.8; the percentage of voluntary, liquidations is 23.3.
The banks in active operation represent 71.9 per cent of the total
number chartered.
The number and capital of national banks organized since March
14, 1900, by State and geographical divisions, together with the
number and paid-in capital stock of national banks on June 4, 1913,
appear in the following table:

Charlotte office closed.
The assay office at Charlotte, N. C , was closed at the end of the
fiscal year and the equipment distributed to other offices or sold at
auction. The Charlotte office was originally established as a branch
mint by act of Congress approved March 3, 1835. This action was
prompted by the fact that in the year 1834 approximately $900,000
worth of gold was received at the Philadelphia Mint from the southern Appalachian region. The first coinage was done in 1837, and
coinage operations were continued until the outbreak of the Civil
War. The total coinage of the institution was $5,059,188. Iii 1867
the institution was reopened as an assay office, and operations were
continued until June 30, 1913, when. Congress having made no further provision for its support, it was definitely closed. The deposits
at the office in recent years have been very small.

against 9,321,823.5 gallons in 1912, a decrease of 1,068,948.7 gallons.
During the fiscal year 1913, 870 distiUeries of all kinds were operated,
an increase of 49.
The production of fermented hquors was 65,324,876 barrels, an
increase over the previous fiscal year of 3,148,182 barrels. There
were removed from breweries for export free of tax 79,332 barrels.
The income-tax law.
A distinct change in the method of providing revenue for the expenses of the Federal Government has been instituted by section 2
of the act of October 3, 1913, which provides for a tax to be levied,
assessed, collected, and paid annually upon the net income of every
citizen of the United States, whether residing at home or abroad,
and upon the net income of every person residing in the United
States, though not a citizen thereof, and upon the net income from
all property owned and of every business, trade, or profession carried
on in the United States by persons residing elsewhere, and a like tax
upon domestic corporations and foreign corporations doing business
in the United States.
In the year 1861 an income-tax law was enacted for the purpose
. of increasing the revenues of the Government during the period of
the War between the States, but this law was distinctly a war measure
and was repealed in 1871.
On August 28, 1894, in response to a general sentiment throughout
the United States, an income-tax law was again enacted, which was
however, of short duration, the Supreme Court of the United States
deciding that that act was unconstitutional before the first annual
tax under its provisions had been collected.
The sentiment for an income tax, however, was not abated, and
in the first session of the Sixty-first Congress a resolution was passed
proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States,
which amendment would permit the levying of an income tax on
the people of the United States. This amendment was submitted
to the States for ratification and was ratified by the necessary threefourths of the legislatures of the several States, and the amendment
to the Constitution of the United States was announced by the
Secretary of State on February 25, 1913.
In pursuance of this amendment to the Constitution an incometax law was enacted October 3, 1913, providing for collections at
the source beginning November 1, 1913, and the Treasury Department immediately began preparation for its administration through
the oflBice of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
The law being new in character and some of its provisions little
understood by the people, particularly those relating to the with
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
43
holding of the tax at the source, which provisions became effective
on November 1,*1913, less than a month after the enactment of the
law, the department exerted every effort to place its interpretation
of the law before the taxpayers; and the first regulations, which were
those relative to the withholding of the tax at the source on coupon
and registered interest payments on bonded and other similar
indebtedness of corporations, joint-stock companies or associations,
and insurance companies, were issued October 25, 1913, and were
followed on October 31, 1913, by the regulations relative to the
withholding of the tax at the source on salaries, rents, and other
fixed and determinable annual income in excess of $3,000.
The tax on individuals is calculated on the calendar year, and the
regulations and forms for the returns of income of individuals and
corporations wUl be issued in ample time to enable the taxpayers to
make their returns of annual net income within the period prescribed
by law, that is, on or before March 1, 1914, except in the case of cor•porations which may have chosen, in the manner prescribed by law,
to make their returns for their fiscal years instead of the calendar year.
Less confusion than was expected has been experienced thus early
in the operations of the law and each day's added experience indicates
that the law, whUe complicated, will admit of interpretation, and that
a proper administration of it can be established within a reasonable
period of time.
Recommendations.
Several of the following recommendations for statutory changes
have been made from year to year in the various annual reports,
but inasmuch as the need of the legislation referred to is very great,
I have the honor again to include some of those recommendations,
with certain others, as follows:
1. Denatured alcohol.—To impose a nominal tax—say 1 cent per
proof gaUon—on all alcohol withdrawn for denaturation, which tax
would yield a return approximately equal to the amount that should
be appropriated to properly take care of the work.
2. Tobacco.—^That section 3360 of the Revised Statutes be amended
to require every dealer in leaf tobacco to give bond, make a true inventory of stock annually on the 1st day of January in each year,
and to render a report of his transactions quarterly, monthly, or for
such periods as the Commissioner of Internal Revenue may prescribe;
section 35, act of August 5, 1909, so as to require retail dealers in
leaf tobacco to give bond; section 26, act of October 1, 1890, so as to
require registry of manufacturers of cigars, manufacturers of tobacco,
dealers in leaf tobacco, retail dealers in leaf tobacco, and peddlers
of tobacco only on commencing business and not annuaUy on the
1st day of July in each year, as at present.
44
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
3. Oleomargarine.—Considerable comment,has been indulged in as
to the matter of the production of Ulicit spirits and the consequent
loss of taxes to the Government on that account, and whUe it is true
that the Government sustains quite a loss on this account, it is not
to be compared with the loss that may be and has been sustained in
the Ulicit traffic in oleomargarine.
In any of the three or four large cities in the country the Government, unless the illicit traffic in the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine is controlled, wUl lose more taxes from this source alone
than would be lost in the way of taxes on distUled spirits Ulicitly
produced in all the Southern States.
This condition of affairs with respect to the Ulicit traffic in oleomargarine is brought about wholly and solely by the difference in the
rate of tax on that commodity. The tax on oleomargarine free from
artificial coloration is one-quarter cent per pound, whUe the tax
on oleomargarine that contains artificial coloration is 10 cents per
pound. The Ulicit dealer in oleomargarine can, by the use of artificial coloration, which is inexpensive, manipulate a thousand pounds
of uncolored oleomargarine upon which the tax of one-quarter cent
per pound has been paid and produce an article upon-which the tax
of 10 cents per pound should be paid, thereby defrauding the Government of 9 | cents on each pound thus Ulicitly produced, amounting to
$97.50 on the thousand pounds thus manipulated.
An Ulicit distillery, in order to defraud the Government out of that
amount of tax, would have to produce in the neighborhood of 89 gallons of proof spirits, which would require, under the most favorable
circumstances, 72 hours' fermentation before the distUler could produce any spirits. In three days the illicit oleomargarine dealer can
manipulate, by adding artificial coloring matter to uncolored oleomargarine, anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000 pounds, thereby defrauding the Government of 9 | cents on each pound so manipulated.
The present oleomargaruie law is not satisfactory, either from an
admiaistrative or revenue standpoint, and should be so amended as
to remedy it in both respects.^
A law imposing a fiat tax of a nominal rate without any differentiation based upon coloration, with provision for individual
stamped or original packages of certain sizes adequately marked
and branded, and safeguarded by imposing penalties for infractions,
would be easier of enforcement and yield greater revenue than the
present law, and with less expense to the Government.
4. Adulterated butter.—Practically all cases involving manufacture
and sale of adulterated butter were based on a moisture content of
16 per cent or more.
This law, which was evidently intended to prevent the manufacture and sale of butter adulterated within the common meanino: of
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
45
the term, has, because of its definition and drastic provisions, brought
about very unfortunate conditions through its enforcement. I t has
increased the work of the officers in the field and in the administrative office without any appreciable revenue, and at the same time
has imposed hardships upon many who produced and sold butter
which was afterwards found to contain abnormal moisture, thereby
involving themselves, as well as dealers handling the product, in
liabilities to the heavy special taxes imposed by the law.
White phosphorus matches.
Regulations were promulgated on May 10, 1913, to carry into
effect the provisions of the act of April 9, 1912, relating to the tax on
^'white phosphorus'' matches. These regulations were effective on
July 1, 1913, with respect to filing of notices, bonds, monthly returns,
etc., effective on January 1, 1915, as to the payment of the tax. I t
is not expected that much revenue wUl be derived from this source,
as the tax of 2 cents per 100 matches will practically be prohibitory.
BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING.
The appropriations by Congress for this work amounted to $3,687,206.39, and the repayments received for services and materials
furnished the several executive departments and bureaus were
$859,200.99, the aggregate available for the work during the year
having been $4,546,407.38., The expenditures were $210,174.15 for
salaries, $1,695,811.32 for compensation of employees, of which
$2,250 was for employees detailed to other branches of the pubhc
service and not reimbursed; $1,880,'314.75 for wages of plate printers
and assistants; and $663,431.92 for materials and miscellaneous
expenses, making an aggregate expenditure of $4,449,732.14.
The work executed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
during the fiscal year was 9.4 per cent more than in the preceding
year, while its expenditures increased only 3.35 per cent. The total
number of sheets dehvered was 287,192,192, an increase of 24,763,453
over the previous year. The dehveries comprised 76,797,500 sheets
of United States notes and certificates; 34,869 sheets of United
States bonds; 12,508,747 sheets of national-bank notes; 79,472,550
sheets of internal-revenue stamps; 255,300 sheets of customs stamps;
100,490,096 sheets of United States postage stamps; 14,223,835
sheets of United States parcel-post stamps; 218,868 sheets of Phihppine postage stamps; 354,600 sheets of silver certificates, documentary and internal-revenue stamps, postal cards, and checks on
Treasurer for the Phihppine Islands; and 2,835,827 sheets of checks,
drafts, commissions, etc. In addition to these sheets dehvered,
miscellaneous work was executed to the value of $93,552.52. The
face value of all classes of securities, internal-revenue stamps, postage
stamps, etc., delivered by the bureau amounted to $2,060,409,515.
46
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
Compared with the deliveries in the fiscal year 1912, there was an
increase of 1.73 per cent in United States notes, certificates, and
bonds, 6.65 per cent in national-bank notes, 5.45 per cent in internalrevenue stamps, 43.06 per cent in customs stamps, 18.91 per cent
in postage stamps, and 7.04 per cent in checks, drafts, etc.
Improved machinery.
By authority of the act approved August 24, 1912, during the year
the printing of checks was transferred from hand-roUer plate printing
presses to offset presses at an annual saving of $30,000, and thc
printing of one-fifth of the backs of paper money was transferred
from the hand presses to electric-power plate presses at a saving of
$90,000. On July 1, 1913, the number of power presses engaged in
printing backs was increased from 16 to 30.
Money laundering.
Eleven machines for cleetnsing paper money were installed in
the offices of the Treasurer of the United States and of several assistant treasurers, in the belief that the reuse of the laundered notes
would result in considerable economy due to the reduction in the
number of new notes necessary to be issued, but indications now
are that the anticipated results wUl only be partly realized.
New building.
The new building to house the Engraving and Printing Bureau
is nearly completed and some portions of the work of that bureau
are expected to be commenced therein by February 1, 1914.
I t is estimated that the use of the old bureau building by the
auditors of the department, instead of renting buildings, will result
in annual saving to the Government of $35,750.
SPECIAL A G E N T S '
DIVISION.
The Special Agents' Division of the Treasury Department has
during the past year examined and reported upon the personnel and
the administrative methods of 23 customs districts and recommended
many changes to increase efficiency and reduce expense.
Its iavestig'ations of undervaluations and wrongful classifications
of imported merchandise led to additional and increased revenue
and recovery of withheld duties amounting to approximately $800,000.
A large portion of this sum was paid directly into the Treasury in
compromise of civU claims for withheld duties upon past entries,
notably at the port of New York, where such specific recoveries
reached the sum' of $274,004.17
SECRETARY OF T H E TREASURY.
47
As a result of the work of the service fines and penalties for violations of the customs and navigation laws were imposed, aggregating
$74,692.70.
In addition thereto 205 seizures were made of merchandise, valued
at $273,648.95, and 171 arrests, 94 of which were for violation of the
customs laws and 77 for the violation of the opium laws, were made.
Eighty civU suits were instituted, involving claims on behalf of the
Government for $127,947.71.
The work of the service has been largely increased in some respects
which do not permit of a financial showing of results. Under the
Panama Canal act a wide range of merchandise is entered free of duty
for the construction, repair, and equipment of vessels built in the
United States. Investigations throughout the United States have
been made by the various agents to insure that merchandise so
entered actuaUy becomes incorporated in the ship for which intended
as a part of its structure, repair, or equipment.
Of equal if not greater importance is the drawback work of the
agents. Rates for the payment of drawback upon the exportation
of manufactured articles made from imported materials are established
upon the basis of investigations m.ade by the special agents' service.
Such investigations require .close analyses of industrial processes,
frequently intricate and involved, at times including relative quantities of imported and domestic material and wastes involved therein.
Modern industrial organization, bringing into conjunction many formerly distinct activities, has rendered this work mqre difficult and
also more necessary because of the enormous sums involved.
The enforcement of the opium laws has been an active part of the
work of the agents of this division. Their effectiveness in this
regard could be greatly increased by strengthening the laws prohibiting the importation and manufacture of smoking opium, for which
purpose a number of bills have been submitted and to which I
respectfully invite the attention of Congress.
OFFICE OF THE SUPERVISING ARCHITECT.
The work in the Supervising Architect's office during the past
fiscal year has been carried on in accordance with pohcies previously established.
The year ending June 30, 1913, was the first completed fiscal year
following the material reduction in the force in the office of the
Supervising Architect in October, 1911. Through the elimination
of unnecessary routine, this reduced force has accomplished a proportionately larger output of construction work than was accomplished during the preceding fiscal years. The experience of the
48
REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
year just closed, however, shows that the force, as reorganized, is
not properly balanced, and does not handle the present output in
the most efficient manner.
The public buUdings act, approved March 4, 1913, created a
commission to present to Congress a connected scheme of annual
appropriations for the construction and completion of pubhc buildings already authorized, to frame a standard for the determination
of the size and cost of buUdings, etc. In view of the existence of
tliis commission, and the probabUity that Congress will take action
upon the report which it wUl submit, no recommendations are
made at this time concerning the work of the office of the Supervising
Architect.
The work authorized in the omnibus public buildings act of 1910,
and not under contract, together with the work authorized in the
act of 1913, placed in this office a very large volume of work at the
close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913.
The tabulations given below show in summarized form the status
of projects authorized by Congress and the financial operations of
the office.

PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE.
The Surgeon General reports the operations of the service through
the seven administrative divisions of the bureau as follows:
Division of Scientific Research.
The scientific investigations authorized by law have been carried
on during the year as facihties would permit. While the work has
increased, both in the laboratories and in the field, the providing of
funds on June 23, 1913, to enforce the act of August 14, 1912, authorizing larger investigations of the diseases of man and matters pertaining to the pubhc health, marks a new era in this direction.
Comprehensive investigations of trachoma, pellagra, malaria,
tuberculosis, typhoid fever, and other diseases, pollution of navigable waters, sanitary administration, school sanitation, and hygiene
of occupation are accordingly being planned and executed.
In accordance with an act of Congress approved August 24, 1912,
an extensive iavestigation was made of contagious and infectious
diseases among the Indians. Fourteen officers were engaged in the
work, 25 States were visited, and a total of 39,231 Indians examined.
SECRETARY OF TJSE TREASURY.
51
AU the data which were collected, and which showed a high prevalence of trachoma and tuberculosis among this class of the population,
were analyzed and embodied in a report which was submitted to
Congress January 23, 1913, and pubhshed as Senate Document
1038, Sixty-second Congress, third session.
The investigations of peUagra have been continued at the maruie
hospital at Savannah and elsewhere during the year. This complex
problem wiU require enlarged systematic studies, and with the funds
available measures are being developed to carry them on. The
general prevalence of the disease has been outhned and it has been
shown to be on the increase.
Systematic studies of malaria, begun at the marine hospital at Mobile and elsewhere, have been continued to ascertain the prevalence
of the disease and to stimulate measures for its prevention, a prehminary survey of the State of Alabama having been made and the
results pubhshed. This survey is being extended to other States
and intensive studies are being conducted in heavily infected districts
to determine the index of infection and the infiuence of quinine as a
prophylactic.
On account of the announcements of discoveries of aUeged cures
for tuberculosis and their bearing on the pubhc health, important
investigations of them have been undertaken. Studies of the Friedmann treatment were sufficiently advanced by May 16, 1913, to
justify a report that the observations made up to that time did not
warrant the confidence in the remedy which had been inspired by
widespread pubhcity. This investigation is being continued, as are
also studies of other preparations claimed as cures.
The demonstration of the undue prevalence of trachoma among
the Indians and among the mountaineers of Kentucky has necessitated the undertaking of surveys to ascertain the prevalence of the
disease among school children in Cahfornia, Minnesota, Tennessee,
Virginia, and West Virginia, and chnics have been estabhshed in
two counties of Kentucky to demonstrate the eradicability of the
infection from among infected populations.
The widespread prevalence of pohomyehtis (infantile paralysis)
necessitated the continuation of epidemiologic studies of this disease
in Arkansas, New York, and Texas, and laboratory studies in Washington. Studies of typhus fever were also conducted.
The investigations of typhoid fever which have been a prominent
part of the research work of the service since 1906 were continued.
Epidemics were investigated at Fort Dodge, Iowa, other Iowa and
Ilhnois towns, and Roanoke, Va., and systematic studies of the
disease conducted in the. rural communities of the last-named State.
52
REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
Pollution of navigable waters.—The sanitary surveys of interstate
and international waters were continued. A prehminary survey of
the lower Missouri watershed was completed and the results pubhshed. Cooperation was rendered the International Joint Commission in its investigations of the boundary waters between the United
States and Canada, and systematic investigations are now being
made of the pollution of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers to the end
that measures may be devised for its control.
In the enforcement of the act of July 1, 1902, regulating the propagation and sale of biologic products, 25 estabhshments were inspected, 111 relicensed, and 6 licensed for the first time, while the
issue of licenses to the remaining establishments was under consideration at the end of the fiscal year.
The Eleventh Annual Conference of State and Territorial Health
Authorities with the Pubhc Health Service was held in Minneapolis,
Minn., June 16, 1913. The service was also represented at a number
of important meetings of scientific and pubhc health associations, and
assisted the officers of the International Congress of Hygiene and
Demography in promoting the interests of the congress and exhibit
which were held in Washington September 23-28, 1912.
Hygienic Laboratory.—The work of this research institution has
progressed as space and available facilities would permit. Special
studies were made of typhus fever, cholera, and infantile paralysis.
Other experimental work in the laboratory related to disinfectants,
standardization of drugs, and examinations of pubhc health specimens. The studies of ^the nutritive value of pasteurized and raw
milk were continued.
Supplies of antityphoid vaccine and antirabic treatments have
been prepared, the former for use of beneficiaries of the service and
during epidemics, and the latter for issue to State health authorities
and for administration at the laboratory to persons bitten by rabid
animals.
The increasing importance of this institution as an agency in public health work necessitates provision for an additional building and
for an increase of the laboratory staff.
Leprosy investigation station.—The investigations of leprosy in
Hawaii have been continued at the receiving station at Kahhi and
the leprosy settlement on Molokai. As adviser to the Territorial
authorities, the director of this station has rendered important service
in the improvement of sanitation, especially in respect to the suppression of mosquitoes in and around Honolulu.
In order that the research work shaU be properly developed, it
should be supported by adequate funds, and the personnel to carry
it on should be increased.

Division of Foreign and Insular Quarantine and Immigration.
Quarantine operations during the year have been active under two
general headings, one being the work of eradicating rats from vessels
and the other being special precautions against the introduction of
yellow fever from Mexican ports into the ports of the United States.
In connection with rat-eradicative work, 1,737 vessels have been
fumigated at Federal quarantine stations during the fiscal year just
ended. This does not include the number of vessels fumigated by
State and local quarantine authorities in compliance with our national
quarantine pohcy. Anticipating the appearance of yellow fever in
or near certain of the coast cities of Mexico (bordering upon the
Mexican Gulf), the usual quarantine measures against the introduction of this disease into the United States were instituted early in the
season. The subsequent appearance of yellow fever in certain localities in Mexico has justified these precautionary measures. Neither
plague nor cholera has in itself caused special quarantine activity
during the year.
The bubonic plague was eradicated both from the ports of Habana,
Cuba, and San Juan, Porto Rico.
At the 50 quarantine stations on the continental United States,
7,821 vessels, carrying 599,955 passengers and crews, were inspected
and 113 vessels were disinfected. In addition to these, as mentioned
above, 1,737 vessels were fumigated for rat or mosquito destruction.
National quarantine has been administered as usual at 8 ports in the
PhUippine Islands, 8 in Porto Rico, and 7 in Hawaii. Officers have
been stationed in the American consulates of the principal ports of
Italy and Mexico and in Asiatic ports to enforce the Treasury foreign
quarantine regulations. Inspection has been maintained as usual on
the Mexican border.
The quarantine stations are at present in a very satisfactory condition as to equipment and preparedness.
Medical inspection of immigrants.—Duruig the fiscal year 1,574,371
aliens were inspected and 38,558 were certified for rejection on account
of physical or mental defects. Inspections were conducted at 80 stations in the United States, Hawau, and in the PhUippines. Service
officers, under the supervision of commissioners of immigration, have
conducted the large immigrant hospitals at EUis Island, N. Y., and
Angel Island, Cal. The staff of medical officers and the corps of
attendants at the EUis Island immigration station have been added
to during the year.
The following comparison of work done during the fiscal year just
passed and the fiscal year ended June 30, 1912, is interesting. During

the last-mentioned period 726,040 immigrants arrived at the port of
New York During the fiscal year just closed 1,044,057 immigrants
arrived. The total rejections at that port for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1912, were 17,067 as compared with 22,733 for the fiscal
year just ended, 150 mental defectives having been certified during
the fiscal year 1912 as compared with 661 for the fiscal year 1913.
This increase of activity in the medical inspection of aliens entering
the United States is not confined to New York, but is evident at all
the other immigration stations. At the Ellis Island hospital during
the year past 10,165 patients were admitted for treatment, the daily
average of patients in hospital being 229.
Division of Domestic (Interstate) Quarantine.
Plague-suppressive measures in California and near-by States were
carried out during the fiscal year in accordance with the plan which
was outlined in the last annual report of the Surgeon General.
In San Francisco the work of destroying rats was continued, more
than 90,000 having been collected and forwarded to the Federal laboratory for bacteriological examination. Throughout the year 1913 no
rats were reported plague infected or suspicious of plague.
Duruig the fiscal year particular attention has been given to ratguarding of ships engaged in trans-Atlantic and Pacific trade and
calling at San Francisco. The regulations of the department in this
regard have been strictly enforced.
Operations in Oakland and Berkeley have consisted solely of the
trapping of rats for the purpose of determining whether plague infection had appeared, as plague infection has existed for some time
among the ground squirrels that infest the rural districts surrounding
these cities. Rats to the number of 40,000 were collected and sent
to the laboratory for examination. No plague infection was found.
The squirrel-free zone around the cities bordering upon San Francisco Bay was maintained throughout the year. Whereas in previous
years plague infection had been demonstrated among the squirrels
upon this'zone, careful hunting has faUed to discover any infection
during the year just passed, though infection has been found in
contiguous territory.
But one case of human plague occurred during the fiscal year
1913. The patient died June 13, 1913. As infected squirrels had
been found in the immediate vicinity and no rats were discoverable
about her residence, it is believed that the infection was obtained
from ground squirrels.
On June 17, 1912, the presence of bubonic plague was reported
in San Juan, P. R. Officers were ordered to Porto Rico for the pur-

pose of suppressing the epidemic. This work has been accomplished,
and these officers wUl be withdrawn very shortly.
On the request of the secretary of the Department of Public Health
of Montana an officer was directed to proceed to Montana for the
purpose of taking charge of the eradication of Rocky Mountain
spotted fever, a disease which is widely distributed throughout the
Pacific States and which exists in virulent form in the Bitter Root
Valley of Montana. The disease has been successfully comb att ed
in the latter region.
The occurrence of two cases of leprosy in persons who had resided
in Michigan for some years brings again to general attention the
need for a definite policy which wUl act unUormly throughout the
country for the control and segregation of lepers.
The Surgeon General was directed to cooperate with State and
local health officers of Ohio and Indiana during the disastrous floods
which occurred in the spring of 1913. He not only directed his
own officers in the field, but aided the local authorities with timely
advice on sanitation.
On request of the Secretary of the Interior an officer was detaUed
to investigate sanitary conditions in Alaska and to make reports
and recommendations thereon.
Amendments to article 3 of the Interstate Quarantine Regulations
have been made relating to the common drinking cup, the common
towel, and pure drinking water and ice for passengers in interstate
traffic. These regulations have met with very general acceptance "
and have resulted in a marked improvement in sanitary conditions
on interstate carriers.
In order that there might be a standard from which to judge of
the purity of water and ice supplied passengers, a commission has
been appointed, consisting of eminent scientists, together with
officers of the Public Health Service, for the purpose of determining a standard of purity for drinking water. This commission is
stUl at work, and its report is expected at an early date.
A great forward step has been made in protecting the health of
passengers traveling on common carriers in interstate traffic. In
addition to amendments to the Interstate Quarantine Regulations
inspection reports from service officers traveling on official duty as
to sanitary conditions on trains and vessels have been regularly
received. When poor sanitary conditions are observed, notification of such conditions is rendered to the officials of the raUroad or
steamship line. In practicaUy all such cases officials have shown
a ready wUhngness to cooperate effectively in remedial measures.

Division of Sanitary Reports and Statistics.
Pursuant to acts of Congress approved February 15, 1893, and
August 14, 1912, the Public Health Reports have been issued weekly
during the year. They have supplied quarantine officers, health
officers, and other sanitarians with current information of the prevalence of diseases dangerous to the public health and of the measures
being adopted by State and local health officers to prevent their
spread through the adoption of sanitary laws or regulations. The
Public Health Reports have also contained information on other
related subjects for the use of health authorities in the protection
of the health of the people.
To prevent the spread of disease in interstate traffic or from one
locality to another it is necessary to have current information of
the prevalence of disease and the occurrence of epidemics. This
information is secured through the reporting of cases of disease, a
subject concerning which many States have enacted laws. For the
control of disease in its broader sense and the protection of the lives
and conservation of the health of the people it is desirable that
unUorm and effective requirements be adopted by the several States.
This matter has been a subject of careful consideration during the
year, and at the Eleventh Annual Conference of State and Territorial
Health Officers with the Pubhc Health Service on June 16, 1913, a
model State law on morbidity reports was adopted. This law should
be enacted by the several States as soon as practicable.
State and municipal laws for the control and prevention of disease
have been coUated and studied that the department might at all
times be informed of the measures being taken by State and local
authorities for the prevention of the spread of disease. These laws
have been published that municipal and State authorities might
keep informed regarding the measures taken by other States and
cities and the trend of practical sanitation as sho\\Ti by the adoption
of legislation.
Division of Marine Hospitals and Relief.
Duruig the fiscal year 1913, 50,604 patients received treatment,
14,097 being treated in hospital and 36,507 as dispensary or out
patients. The hospital patients received a total of 405,944 days'
treatment. The service operated 23 marine hospitals, owned by the

Government, and maintained 125 other relief stations, where seamen
were given hospital and dispensary treatment.
At the sanatorium for consumptive beneficiaries, located at Fort
Stanton, N. Mex., 314 patients were cared for during the year. Of
these, 121 were discharged, 47 died at the sanatorium, and 146
remained under treatment at the close of the year.
Aid was extended to other branches of the Government in the
physical examination of 9,971 persons, of whom 381 were rejected.
In addition, 744 merchant seamen were examined to determine their
fitness for shipment on American vessels, of whom 20 were rejected;
also 15 foreign seimen, of whom 7 were rejected.
Owing to the smaU amount of relief work done, the rehef station
at Morgan City, La., was closed during the year.
Division of Personnel and Accounts.
Commissioned and other oficers.—The commissioned medical officers
at the close of the fiscal year numbered 144, as follows: The Surgeon
General, 10 senior surgeons, 63 surgeons, 40 passed assistant surgeons, and 30 assistant surgeons. The acting assistant surgeons
numbered 226, making, all told, 370 medical officers. The total
personnel of the service, including 46 pharmacists, 1,028 attendants,
and 68 other employees, numbered 1,512.
Expenditures.—The appropriations for the ordinary maintenance
of the service were $1,721,817.50. The receipts from aU sources, repayments for care of foreign seamen, etc., were $14,118.77. The
expenditures were $1,674,004.65; estimated outstanding liabihties,
$16,907.07, leaving an estimated balance of $45,024.55.
The amount available of the appropriation for preventing the introduction and spread of epidemic diseases at the beginning of the
fiscal year was $89,621.73. During the year an appropriation of
$200,000 was made. The expenditures were $244,502.45, leaving
a balance June 30, 1913, of $45,119.28, less estimated outstanding
habUities, $6,596.40.
The appropriations for the maintenance of the quarantine service
were $169,000. The amount of repayments was $1,298.44. The
expenditures were $157,646.51, which, deducting outstanding liabUities, leaves an estimated balance of $2,035.58.
The amount avaUable of the appropriation for national quarantine and sanitation at the beginning of the fiscal year was $58,803.95;
the expenditures were $34,533.86, leaving a balance June 30, 1913,
of $24,270.09, less esthnated outstanding liabUities $1,472.08.

Publications.—Bureau publications aggregating 555,087 were distributed during the calendar year ended June 30, 1913. Requests
for public^ions of the service are steadily increasing.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
Life-Saving Service claims.—During the year, 450 claims for benefits under the act of March 4, 1882, by keepers and surfmen of the
Life-Saving Service have been passed upon by the officer in charge
of this division, based upon the medical evidence submitted. Physical examinations of keepers and surfmen of said service have been
continued.
. Recommendations.
An increase in the number of commissioned medical officers of the
Public Health Service is one of its most urgent needs. Requests for
the assistance and advice of experts in the management of epidemics
of contagious diseases, in work of sanitation, and to address meetings
both of public health organizations and of citizens, have been received from State and local health.officers in far greater number than
in any previous year of the history of the service. Every effort has
been made to meet these requests for cooperation, but in many cases
the lack of avaUable officers has prevented the bureau's compliance.
An additional buUding should be provided for the use of the Hygienic Laboratory in Washington. The work of the laboratory has
grown apace with the uicrease in public health iaterest and activity
throughout the country, and additional duties recently imposed by
statute in connection with the investigation of diseases of man, pollution of navigable streams, and problems involved m the sanitation of interstate carriers, render additional accommodations necessary for the work.
Larger editions of service publications, and particularly those of a
less technical nature, should be provided for. One of the most important of the bureau's publications is the Weekly Public Health
Reports, which contains current uiformation relative to the prevalence and distribution of diseases throughout the United States and
the entire world. I t is believed that the circulation of this publication should be enlarged to include every health officer and physician
actively interested in public health work throughout the country.
One of the essential factors in the conduct of public health work is a
thorough knowledge of the occurrence, prevalence, and distribution
of disease. I t is apparent that to eradicate or to prevent the spread
of disease, information inust first be had as to where it is present.
Provision should be made whereby the Public Health Service can be
kept currently informed regarding the prevalence of disease throughout the country. Its information of this nature is largely dependent
upon the voluntary cooperation of State and local health authorities.
WhUe this cooperation is in many instances all that could be desired,
in some others reports are not promptly received. In the estimates
for the fiscal year 1915 an appropriation has been requested with
which to insure prompt and regular receipt of such information by
the employment of persons already in the service of health organiza-

tions, whose duty it would be to furnish accurate and prompt transcriptions of all morbidity statistics collected by these agencies.
The continuation of the appropriation ' ' F o r field investigations of
public health matters," provided by Congress for the fiscal year 1914,
is of greatest importance. With the establishment of this fund it
has been possible for the service to undertake work that has long been
deferred. The investigation of the pollution of navigable waters,
particularly those which are interstate in character, is clearly the
function of the Federal health agency, whUe studies of the causes
and conditions iafluenciag the spread of disease are of benefit to the
country at large, regardless of the locality in which they are conducted.
LIFE-SAVING
SERVICE.
The number of documented vessels sustaining disaster during the
last fiscal year within the field of operations of the Life-Saving
Service was 552. They carried 5,787 persons, of whom 73 were lost.
The estimated value of the vessels was $12,128,070, and of their
cargoes $2,529,170, making a total value of $14,657,240. Of this
amount, $1,721,215 represented the estimated value of the property
lost.
There were also involved in casualty during the year 1,191 undocumented vessels—those of less than 5 tons' burden—such as smaU
launches, sailboats, rowboats, etc. These were valued at $965,910
and the loss they sustained is estimated at $41,935. There were on
board 3,254 persons, 14 of whom perished.
Shelter and subsistence were afforded at the service stations to
437 persons who were victims of shipwreck and of boating accidents.
These were furnished a total of 756 days' rehef.
The foregoing data and other information of importance relating
to the year's work of the life-saving corps are presented for ready

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
The number of casualties, as shown in the foregoing statement,
exceeds that reported for any previous year within the lUstory of
the estabhshment. The value of imperiled property was greater,
also, than ever before except for the year 1909. Notwithstanding
this, a lower percentage of property loss is not to be found in any
former aimual summary of service operations. I t has been equaled
only tmce, namely, in 1896 and 1898. The value of property endangered, however, during the first of these two years was approximately $3,000,000 less, and during the last-mentioned year $8,000,000
less, than was imperiled during 1913.
The loss of life within the last year was also exceptionally large,
exceeding that of any previous year since the season of 1877-78. I t
is also widely at variance with the average annual record of fatahty
since the introduction of the present life-saving system in 1871,
which has been 33. This unusual record was due to two disasters
which took place upon the Pacific coast: One, the wreck of the steamer
Rosecrans, January 7, 1913, off the entrance to the Columbia River,
with the loss of 33 of the 36 persons she carried; the other, the destruction of the German bark Mimi, April 6, 1913, near the mouth of the
Nehalem River, Oregon, with the loss of 16 of the 20 persons on board.
I n neither of these instances could those who perished have been saved
by any human agency. I t should be stated, moreover, that all of the
hfe-saving crews present at these wrecks performed vahant service,
those engaged at the disaster first mentioned losing two powerful motor
Hfeboats while making desperate and, happily, successful efforts to
rescue two sailors, all t h a t remained alive on board when the rescuers
appeared after a search of several hours made for the vessel in an
impenetrable fog. The work of the corps upon this occasion was
marked by incidents of heroism and devotion to duty that have never
been surpassed. I t evoked the highest encomiums of press and pubhc,
and was specially recognized by the passage of resolutions of commendation by the Legislature of the State of Oregon and the adoption of similar resolutions by various city governments and commercial organizations. Recognition by the National Government was
extended to each man who participated in the work in the form of a
gold medal, bestowed under authority of the act of June 20, 1874.
I t is appropriate to state in this connection that none of the instances
of loss of hfe during the year was due to the failure of the corps to
perform their full duty.
Sources of assistance to vessels.
Of the 1,743 vessels included in the tabular statement, 1,364, or
78 per cent, valued with their cargoes at $6,032,935, and carrying 5,168
persons, were assisted" only by the crews of the service; 307, valued
with their cargoes at $7,785,205 and having on board 3,270 persons.

were assisted by the service corps, working in conjunction with revenue cutters, wrecking vessels, etc.; 33, valued with their cargoes at
$1,353,455, and carrying 376 persons, were assisted only by private
agencies; while 39, valued with their cargoes at $451,555, and carrying 227 persons, got out of danger unassisted or suffered destruction
before assistance could reach them.
In addition to the services performed by the corps as already set
forth, aid was extended to 288 vessels finding themselves in divers
situations of need of assistance, though not in immediate danger.
The assistance thus afforded consisted largely of emergency piloting,
carrying persons to and fro between ship and shore, caring for sick
and injured officers and seamen, etc.
Warning signals were given also to 182 vessels running into danger.
Of these, 117 were steamers. On 147 occasions these warnings were
given in the night. Of course no figures can be furnished showing
the value of the vessels so warned or the number of persons they carried. I t may be assumed, nevertheless, that the signals were instrumental in preventing the loss of much property and perhaps loss of
hfe as well.
The net expenditure for the maintenance of the service during the
year was $2,204,074.50.
Flood service in the Middle West.
The spring of 1913 will be long remembered for its record of casualties due to storm and fiood. The effedts of high water, felt generally
in Ohio and Indiana, extended also to portions of West Virginia,
Kentucky, lUinois, Missouri, Tennessee, and other States farther
south bordering upon the Mississippi River.
Under personal instructions of the Secretary, given when the news
first reached Washington that life was in jeopardy in certain sections
of the inundated territory, a number of life-saving crews, with the
necessary boats and equipment, was placed at the disposal of State
officers and others having charge of relief work. Seven crews in aU
performed fiood service, namely, from the Louisville (Ky.), Cleveland and Lorain (Ohio), Michigan City (Ind.), and Jackson Park,
Old Chicago, and Evanston (111.) stations. Their work took them to
Dayton, Ohio; Covington and Dayton, Ky.; Fort Wayne, Peru, and
Terre Haute, Ind.; and Cairo, III. The crews of the Cleveland,
Lorain, and Louisville stations also rendered valuable assistance to
victims of flood in their home cities. The seven crews rescued and
succored while in the performance of flood duty a total of 3,509
persons, besides saving personal property, consisting mostly of hve
stock, to the value of $30,000. A special report describing in detail
the operations of the corps in the flooded districts is contained in
House Document No. 94, Sixty-third Congress, first session*

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
Power boats for rescue and salvage worTc.
From the field continue to come demands for power craft to replace
certain of the larger types of service boats propeUed by oars. This
demand is being met as rapidly as appropriations will allow. At the
close of the year 68 self-righting and self-baihng power lifeboats and
58 Beebe-McLellan self-bailing power surfboats (126 boats in aU)
were in use at the stations, 19 of the type last described having been
put in commission during the year. Of.the lifeboats, 28 are of the
36-foot length and 40 of the 34-foot length.
The marked growth of late years in the work of the service does
not necessarily indicate a corresponding increase in the number of
casualties to vessels along our coasts, but rather the ability of the
corps, with their improved boats, to cover more territory than
formerly. Of the 4,096 endangered persons taken ashore or to
other places of safety by the life-saving crews during the year,
2,748 were transported in the power boats of the service. .
MisceUaneous services of station crews.
A considerable amount of miscellaneous work, unassociated with
casualties to vessels, was performed by the station crews during
the year. The service of this description of the most importance
was as follows: The rescue of 106 bathers and swimmers and persons otherwise endangered; first-aid treatment given to 96 sick
and injured persons; shelter 'and subsistence provided to 116 persons overtaken on the beaches by inclement weather; the saving,
upon 157 occasions, of various articles of property, such as automobiles, horse-drawn vehicles, fishnets, lumber, livestock, aeroplanes, baUoons, money, etc., caught in mire and quicksands, endangered by floods and high tides, lost, stolen, etc.; and assistance
given in 47 instances at fires involving public and private buildings
and other structures and forests.
Establishment, rebuilding, and improvement of stations.
The stations of the establishment number 285, one station haviag been completed and manned during the year at Eagle Harbor,
Mich. Their distribution is as foUows: 203 on the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts, 63 on the Great Lakes (including 1 at the Falls of the Ohio
River, LouisviUe, Ky.), and 19 on the Pacific coast.
Reference was made last year to contracts entered into for rebuilding the Blue Point, Moriches, and Rockaway stations, on the coast
of Long Island. This work was completed within the year, as was
also the rebuilding of the station at Rockaway Point, on the same
coast, and the station at City Point, Mass., to replace structures
that were old and unsuited to present-day needs. The rebuilding

63
of the station at Brazos, Tex., destroyed by hurricane October 16,

Contract was entered into for rebuilding stations at Nags Head
and Poyners HiU, N. C , and for extensive improvements to the
stations at Point Allerton, Mass., Ocean City, Md., and Burnt Island,
Me. This work has all been completed, as has also the work of
repair and construction mentioned in last year's report as having
been begun at Cobb Island, Va. The rebuilding of the station at
Cape Fear, N. C , begun within the year, is still under way.
Retirement pay for the life-saving corps.
Retirement pay for the life-saving corps has been so repeatedly
recommended in former reports and the crying need of such a provision of law so fuUy set forth tha,t further ad version to the subject
seems but a waste of words. I t is felt to be a duty, however, to
continue to speak.
The life-saving establishment enjoys a justly earned reputation
for efficiency, but it may be truthfuUy said that its prestige has
been held in the face of a steady deterioration of its personnel only
because the improvement of its materiel—its boats and apparatus—
has not been hampered by the difficulties that have been encountered
in keeping its stations properly manned.
While improved life-saving appliances have thus far largely
offset the lowered physical standard and morale of the corps, due
to the inability of the service to attract and hold able recruits,
modern equipment and up-to-date methods can not much longer
overbalance the deficiencies of a host of old and in many instances
physically unsound men whom it is necessary to reenlist from year
to year in order that the station crews may not be shorthanded.
Men of the sort the service needs have no incentive nowadays
to enter an employment that takes the best they can give of youth,
health, and zeal in an arduous and oftentimes hazardous routine of
duty, then casts them aside like driftwood. The records show
that many of those who do enlist leave the establishment after short
periods of service, preferring to foUow private pursuits in which,
if their earnings are less certain, the chances for getting ahead appear
to them to be better.
Years ago, when wages in the business world were not so high as
at present and the cost of living was less, the young men reared on
the coast looked to the Life-Saving Service as their natural field of
work. In short, it offered them a career such as suited their train
ing and preparation for life.
For more than a decade, however, the service has ceased to attract
the class of men best suited to its peculiar demands. In preference
to joining the corps they are migrating to the larger cities and becom

ing police officers, members of fixe companies, street-car conductors,
and motormen, etc. Strong of body as a rule, they have no difficulty in getting work in the city. Moreover, their changed environment enables them to give their families advantages not to be secured
in isolated localities, and they frequently find themselves so situated
that they may complacently regard the future, seeing before them
that incentive to fidelity that the Life-Saving Service has been
unable to hold out, namely, retirement for age or disability.
A biU in the interest of the corps is now pending in the Senate.
I t is believed that it wiU overcome the objections raised against
former biUs of the kind, in that it proposes to remove the life-saving
crews from their present civilian status and place them under a new
bureau to be known as the Coast Guard, said bureau to include the
present Life-Saving Service and Revenue-Cutter Service. This
bUl provides for the rank and file of the life-saving establishment
and for certain of its officers the same retirement and other benefits
now enjoyed by the officers and enlisted men of the Revenue-Cutter
Service.
As the work of the two services is similar, so far as relates to the
saving of life and property from shipwreck, and as the personnel
of the two bureaus are in constant cooperation in that line of
endeavor, the joining of the two services, as proposed, and the
granting of equal benefits to the officers and employees of each
alike would seem to be a step in the interest of efficient and
economical administration and deserving of the favorable consideration of Congress.

The winter season of 1912-13 was of unusual mildness compared
with the severe weather of the previous whiter; but the occurrence of
several gales along the coast, together with accidents to shipping
from other causes, called forth the usual vigilance and activity of the
fleet of revenue cutters, and the result of these operations of the service during the past fiscal year shows that $10,626,610 worth of property has been saved from the perils of the sea and that there have
been 327 lives saved or persons rescued from danger. As the total
cost for the maintenance of the service during that period was
$2,471,532.51, the year's efforts represents a conservation of $4.29 for
each dollar thus invested by the Government.
Notwithstanding the unusually mild weather conditions of the past
winter season, the vessels forming the patrolling fieet were kept busily
cruising along the coast to aid ships in distress. The vicissitudes
which beset seafaring men are of such an unending variety that even
when fair weather prevails accidents of one kind or another occur
frequently, and usually at the most unexpected time. Hence it is
that the officers and men attached to these winter-cruising cutters
are under a constant tension, not knowiag at what moment their
services may be called for in the saving of life and property. During
the past winter season the patrol was so vigilant that there is no
instance on record where a call for help went unheeded.
Of the 179 cases of assistance rendered during the fiscal year no
two were exactly alike, and all are of interest to show the variety of
dangers encountered by seafarers. The following are conspicuous
examples of the aid furnished by the cutters and will in a manner
illustrate the diversity of the assistance given to vessels in distress:
From October 21 to 26, 1912, the Seminole saved from destruction
the steamship BerTcshire, which was on fire off the coast of North Carolina. This steamer was loaded with a valuable cargo of highly
inflammable materials, such as cotton, resin, pine tar, turpentine, etc.,
and it was only after the most persistent efforts on the part of the
cutter that the fire was brought under control and finally extinguished. On the second day of the fire an accumulation of gases in
the hold caused an explosion, which blew off the hatch covers and
caused a panic among the passengers. This also was subdued by the
officers and the crew of the Seminole, and the 21 passengers were then
taken on board the cutter and later transferred in smaU boats to the
Cape Lookout Life-Saving Station. The BerTcshire and her cargo were
valued at a half million dollars.
WhUe the new revenue cutter Miami was en route to her future
headquarters at Key West, Fla., on the afternoon of November 5,
1912, off HiUsdale Light, on the east coast of Florida, she sighted the
lumber-laden three-masted schooner S. M. Bentley, waterlogged and
helpless. Perched on the top of her cabin 12 people could be dis16726°—FI 1913

cerned through the glasses. These proved to be eight members of
the crew and the wife and three smaU chUdren of the master of the
schooner. A 10-inch hawser was sent to the wrecked vessel by
means of the line-throwing gun, and the wreck taken in tow. The
surfboat was then sent alongside, and after considerable difficulty the
woman and chUdren were taken off and brought on board the cutter
for safety. For over 24 hours the shipwrecked people had had
nothing to eat but raw ham, and just as the Miami reached them
they had succeeded in starting a fire and were boUing some potatoes
which they had picked up from the sea. Fresh provisions and water
were furnished the men on the schooner, who remained on board to
steer the disabled craft, whUe the cutter towed the vessel hi safety to
Key West, Fla.
In December, 1912, word reached the Treasury Department that
the freight schooner Rouse Simmons, laden with Christmas trees for
the approaching holidays, had left a small port in northern Michigan
bound for Chicago and that at the time was a month overdue. The
season of navigation on the Great Lakes had drawn to an end, nearly
all the lighthouses had been closed and buoys removed, ice was
forming and fog and snowstorms prevaUed, and it was feared the
missing vessel had been lost. There was a hope, however, that she
might have blown ashore in some out-of-the-way place, and the
cutters Tuscarora and MacTcinac were directed to investigate. A
thorough search was made of Lake Michigan and of the small islands
in the northern part of that lake, but not a vestige of the vessel could
be found. I t is presumed the unfortunate craft foundered with all
hands on board, thus adding another chapter to the great mysteries
of the sea.
The somewhat unusual experience of a vessel needing assistance
twice in less than a inonth occurred ia the iastance of the steamship
Alcazar, from Trinidad, West Indies, laden with logwood, which was
found by the Seminole off Cape Lookout Shoals Light Vessel, abandoned, on December 25, 1912. This steamer was badly listed to
port, about 45°, and was down by the head. I t was necessary to
tow her stern first, and it was only after extreme difficulties on
account of the yawiag from side to side that she was finally towed in
safety to Lookout Bight and there anchored. On January 5, 1913,
the same steamer was driven ashore in Lookout Bight and was floated
by the efforts of the Seminole, which cutter put officers on board to
act as customs iaspectors whUe the dutiable cargo was being removed.
After a three days' search, aided by radiograms from passiag
steamers, the Onondaga succeeded in locating the three-masted
schooner Bessie Whiting, which during a severe gale off Cape Hatteras
on January 4,1913, had lost hermainsaU and flyiag jib, had her main
gaff broken, and the seams opened in the stern and amidships. On

January 6 the Onondaga picked her up 20 mUes northeast of Cape
Charles Light Vessel and towed her to Hampton Roads, Va. During
the gale one of the schooner's crew, whUe trying to steer the vessel,
was thrown overboard by the steeriag wheel and lost; another who
took his place had been seriously injured by the wheel, and arrangements were made by means of a radiogram from the Onondaga to
give the injured man hnmediate treatment upon arrival off Old
Poiat Comfort by the hospital ship Chase, anchored at that place.
On the mornuig of January 10, 1913, the Woodbury received word
that the steamer Monhegan, with engine disabled and distress signals
flying, was anchored off Middle Ledge on the rock-bound coast of
Maine, and was gradually beiag forced toward the reef by the gale
of wind then prevaUing. The cutter went immediately to her assistance and succeeded in getting a line to the ill-fated steamer, which,
with her crew and passengers—numbering 21 souls—had about
abandoned hope of rescue. Although the Woodbury is a cutter now
over 50 3^ears old and had only a temporary steering gear, she succeeded in towing the disabled craft at a rate of 3 knots an hour to a
place of safety. The master of the Monhegan stated ia a letter to the
commandiag officer of the cutter that ^ t h r o u g h your assistance the
Monhegan was saved from certain destruction/'
Removal of derelicts.
The duty of searching for and removing derehcts and other menaces
to navigation has been continued throughout the year, with the
result that 26 of these obstructions have been removed or destroyed,
and 5 derehcts, representing a value of $18,900, were recovered and
restored to their owners.
Reference was made in the last annual report to the fact that, at
the request of the War Department, sunken obstructions to navigation were removed by the Revenue-Cutter Service. Jurisdiction
over such obstructions is vested by law in the War Department, and
hitherto delays have been occasioned in removing these from the
paths of commerce, owing to the official correspondence necessary
between the Engineer Corps of the War Department and the RevenueCutter Service, whereby the cutters could receive specific authority
to act as agents of the Secretary of War for the removal of the obstructions. After conferences with the War Department officials, a set of
regulations was agreed upon and promulgated under date of April 2,
1913, which secured close cooperation in these matters, and provided
for the prompt action of the commanding officer of any revenue
cutter in the removal of sunken obstructions without preliminary
correspondence.

Ice patrol.
The loss of the Titanic by collision with an iceberg on April 16,
1912, called the attention of the maritime world to the necessity for
providing some systematic means of giving to the trans-Atlantic
steamers approaching the regions traversed by the ice in the spring
and summer months timely warning as to the exact location of
dangerous bergs and fields of ice. The United States Government,
always among the first in humanitarian enterprises, maintained an
efficient ice patrol by means of two scout cruisers of the" Navy during
the months of May and June, 1912. No naval vessels were available
for this duty during the spring months of the current year, and therefore, at the earnest sohcitation of the large maritime exchanges of
this country, two revenue cutters, the Seneca and Miami, were
detailed by the Secretary of the Treasury for the patrol of the ice
regions.
Using the port of Hahfax, Nova Scotia, as a base for coal and
supplies, these two vessels made alternate cruises of 15 days in the
ice danger zone and maintained a continuous patrol during the
months of April, May, and June, 1913. At the end of this period the
reports from the vessels indicated that the icebergs and ice floes had
ceased to be a menace to the trans-Atlantic steamer lanes, and the
patrol was discontinued for the season as no longer necessary.
Protection of the fur seal.
During the months of July, August, and September, 1912, and
again in May and June, 1913, an efficient patrol of the Bering Sea
and North Pacific Ocean was maintained for the purpose of enforcing
the provisions of law and the convention entered into by the United
States, Great Britain, Russia, and Japan for the preservation of the
fur seal and the sea otter. The cutters emplo3^ed in 1912 were the
McCulloch, Tahoma, and Manning, and for the season of 1913 the
Tahoma, Manning, and Unalga were detailed for this duty.
Enforcement of navigation, anchorage, and other laws.
Twenty-five thousand and sevent3^-nine vessels were boarded and
examined during the year in enforcing the navigation and motor-boat
laws. Of these, 850 were reported for violation of law, involving
fines in the total sum of $180,470. Practically the same number of
vessels were boarded in 1913 as in 1912, and the fact that but 850
were found violating the law in 1913, as agaiast 1,208 in 1912, is
gratifying evidence of an increasing regard for the requirements of
the law on the part of the owners and the masters of vessels. .

Kennebec River has contiaued during the year. The Manhattan
and Guide were assigned to this work in New York Harbor and the
launch Patrol in Chicago. The estabhshment of definite anchorage
areas in these crowded harbors has added materially to the safety of
navigation and greatly facilitated traffic in these waters, and the
recommendation of last year is renewed, namely, that similar laws
governing the anchorage of vessels be enacted for all the large seaports.
The important duty of regulating the movements of vessels through
the St. Marys River, Mich., has been continued, requiring the use of
the third-class cutter MacTcinac and two launches. I n addition,
three lookout stations have been maintained at important points in
the river to observe and regulate the speed of passing vessels, and
during the past year it has been necessary to estabhsh a fourth
station, at Brush Point. All of the commerce between Lake Superior
and the lower lakes, aggregating 72,472,676 tons for the season of
1912, must pass through the St. Mary's River and the connecting
canal systems. During the season of 1912 the total number of
vessels passing through the locks was 19,691, and the greatest number
passing through in one day was 124—on September 24,1912. There
was at no time a congestion approaching a blockade, except from ice,
on December 12 and 13, and the number of vessels delayed at that
time was small.
At the request of the Secretary of Commerce, vessels or officers
were detailed in 39 instances to enforce the regulations for the safety
of hfe during regattas or marine parades.
Proposed consolidation of the Revenue-Cutter and Life-Saving Services
as the '^ Coast Guard.^^
There exist in the Treasury Department two distinct organizations,
the Revenue-Cutter Service and the Life-Saving Service, whose main
functions are practically identical, i. e., the saving of life and property
from the perils of the sea.
The magnitude of these two seryices and the net results of their
operations in rescue work may be summarized, as foUows:

History.
The Revenue-Cutter Service was founded in 1790, and was the first
regularly organized armed maritime service of the Government. I t
has taken a conspicuous part ia every maritune war hi which this
country has been engaged, and its mUitary status has been fixed by
Congress. Its officers and men have the benefits of retirement,
mUitary titles, courts-martial, and they rank with officers of the
Army and Navy.
The LUe-Savhig Service was originated in the Revenue-Cutter
Service and for several years after its inception was operated under
its direction. I t became a separately organized service in 1878, but
since that time officers of the Revenue-Cutter Service have been
detaUed as the inspectors and drill masters of the Life-Saving Service.
Coast Guard.
I t is proposed to unite these two services under one administrative
head into an organization to be known as the Coast Guard, which,
whUe continuiag its present humanitarian functions in time of peace,
wUl have a mUitary status, and become a ffi^st naval reserve in time of
war. The principal advantages to be derived from this consolidation
will be:
«. {a) Increased efficiency in the saving of lUe and property by closer
cooperation between the sea life-savers and the coast life-savers.
(6) Simplification of the administrative functions.
(c) A retired list for the highly deserving men of the Life-Saving
Service, whose hazardous duties from J:he modern viewpoint of the
public entitle them to this consideration on the part of the Government.
'
°
{d) The creation of a fhst naval reserve of approximately 4,100
trained and experienced men, which simply by an Executive order
wiU be immediately transferred to the naval forces of the Government either in war or peace, whenever the exigency requiring such
action may arise.
Existing conditions.
To attract competent men in any branch of human endeavor the
pay and emoluments offered must be commensurate with the work
to be performed and the risks to health and life which must be
incurred. The rates of pay in the Life-Saving Service can not with
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
71
justice be fixed solely with reference to the actual work performed,
for in a hazardous caUing of this kind there must be considered the
ever-present risk of injury, the possible loss of life, and the necessity
for providing for the declining years when the human physique
becomes, through advancing age, incapable of standing the strains
incident to such a strenuous occupation. Prior to 1908, owing to the
small pay and lack of a retired hst, the ranks of the Life-Saving Service became much depleted. Congress by act of March 26, 1908,
sought to remedy this condition by a shght raise of pay for keepers
and surfmen. " For a brief time some improvement was apparent, but
at present the conditions are even worse than before.
Good men are continuaUy leaving the service because they are
able to earn a greater income in civil pursuits, and the Life-Saving
Service offers no advantage to offset this difference in pay. These
conditions make it more and more difficult to secure even sufficient
apphcants for current vacancies, and it is necessary to employ temporary men, picked up by the keepers from such material as can be
obtained from among the unemployed in their vicinity. These men
are too frequently of the ne'er-do-well, shiftless, and incompetent
type, unable or unwilhng to qualify for regular enlistment; men who
wiU remain in the service for comparatively short periods, necessitating frequent changes and the consequent training of new men.
Their influence in the crews is bad and it is difficult to hold them
amenable to disciphne, in consequence of which the efficiency of the
stations is inevitably lower, aPxd the extra work and responsibUity
thrown on the keeper and the regular members of the crew are sources
of discontent and friction. The presence of such untrained men in
the boats adds greatly to the perils of the rescue work at wrecks,
often endangering both the lives of the crew and of those whom it is
sought to save. In many of the life-saving stations the best qualified
and most reliable men are those who have reached such an age as to
place them beyond the probabUity of being able to secure other
regular employment, and who are retained in the service solely for
the reason that they, even in their advanced years, are better than
such new men as can be obtained with the smaU inducements offered.
During the past fiscal year about 11J per cent of the total force
have either been discharged for physical disabUity or declined to
continue in the service under existing conditions. In several of the
districts it appears to be impossible to secure sufficient men to fill
the current vacancies, and in one district particularly there are 58
vacancies and not a man on the eligible list. I t is believed that the
organization of the Coast Guard as proposed wUl remedy the existing
evUs and save this highly meritorious branch of the public service
from decadence.
72
.
REPORT ON TPIE FINANCES.
The experience of the Revenue-Cutter Service bears out this belief,
as since the enactment of legislation giving its officers and men the
benefits of retirement this arm of the Government has increased its
efficiency more than fourfold.
Cost.
Naturally such an increase hi efficiency must result in an increased
cost of maintenance, but the advantages gained wUl be greatly in
excess of such increased cost, and reference is again made to the
experience of the Revenue-Cutter Service in support of this assertion.
For example, during the four fiscal years 1898 to 1901 (prior to the
enactment of any remedial legislation) statistics show that for each
dollar invested in that service it was instrumental in saving $2.39
worth of marine property. For the corresponding period of the next
decade, 1908 to 1911, after Congress had given the service a retired
list and increased pay, an investment of $1 saved $4.43 of the floating
property belonging to the public.
The Senate of the United States on two occasions by a unanimous
vote has passed a bill giving the Life-Saving Service a retired list as a
separate organization, but the contemplated legislation has on both
occasions failed in the House of Representatives, owing to the reluctance of that body to grant a retired list to a branch of the civil force
of the Government. The increased cost, as estimated, on account of
the requirements of that bill, .would have been approximately
$450,000.
The legislation as proposed for the formation of the Coast Guard
would, on account of the military status it gives to the Life-Saving
Service, in all probabUity, remove the objection heretofore made by
the House, and the net increased cost over existing conditions would
be only $397,700.
Special cruises.
I n September last the new revenue cutter TJnxflga, built at Newport News, Va., and destined for service in Alaskan waters, was dispatched to her headquarters, via the Suez Canal. This route to the
Pacific coast was selected rather than the shorter one via Cape Horn
for the reason that the excessive price of coal along the shorter route
made the total cost of fuel less over the longer route. November 10,
1912, shortly after she had left Port Said, instructions were cabled
to the American consular agency at Suez to intercept the vessel by
radio and transmit orders for the Unalga to return to Port Said and
await further orders. This interruption of the voyage was made at
the request of the State Department, owing to the fact that an unsettled state of affairs existed in Turkey, and there was no United States
naval vessel in those waters. Subsequent orders were cabled to the
commanding officer to report by radio to the American ambassador
at Constantinople and, if the latter deemed it advisable, to proceed
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
73
to such ports in Turkey as he might designate. The cutter remained
at Port Said in constant readiness to answer any caU from the ambassador until December 16, 1912, when the arrival of the U. S. cruiser
Montana in those waters made the presence of the Unalga no longer
necessary, and she was directed to resume her voyage. The vessel
finaUy arrived at Port Townsend, Wash., March 23, 1913, and began
immediate preparations to take up her duties in connection with the
Bering Sea patrol for the enforcement of the seahng convention.
The Thetis made several cruises to Lysianski, Necker, and Bird
Islands, and French Frigate Shoals, transporting to and from these
remote insular possessions in the Pacific Ocean a party of scientists
and Government agents sent out from the Department of Agriculture for the purpose of obtaining information relating td, and taking
steps to conserve, the bird life on these reservations.
At the request of the Department of Justice the Thetis was again
placed at the disposal of the ^'floating court" in the spring of 1913,
and was assigned the duty of transporting the United States District Court and its attaches to remote places in southern and southwestern Alaska, in order to minimize the expense of administering
the law in these out-of-the-way places.
The Bear was dispatched to precede the fleet of merchant vessels
bound to Nome at the opening of navigation in the spring of 1912
in order to safeguard navigation by developing the extent and condition of the ice fields and keeping the approaching steamers advised
by radio of dangerous areas. This vessel carried to northern Alaska,
at the request of the Postmaster General, the large accumulation of
winter maU, aggregating 12 tons. After the ice had passed out of
the Bering Sea and open navigation was assured, the cutter made
her annual cruise through the Arctic Ocean to Point Barrow, visiting
all the vUlages and Government schoolhouses in those remote districts, assisting shipping, and overlooking Government interests in
general. The Department of Justice appoints one officer of the Bear
a United States commissioner and another officer a deputy United
States marshal in order that court may be held in minor cases, and
thus avoid the considerable expense of transporting such minor
offenders to Nome for trial, After the cruise through the Arctic was
completed, the Bear returned to the Bering Sea and remained in the
vicinity of Nome untU the close of navigation in November, 1912,
to render such assistance as might be needed to vessels during those
stormy months.
New vessels and repairs.
The new cutters Unalga and Miami have during the year taken
up their duties on the stations for which they were constructed, the
former with headquarters at Juneau, Alaska, and the latter at Key
West, Fla. The old cutters Rush and Forward have, in accordance
74
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
with the requirements of law, been condemned, advertised for sale,
sold to the highest bidder in each instance, and stricken from the list.
During the year the old practice ship Chase has also been stricken
from the list. This vessel, a bark-rigged saUing craft, was used for
many years as a school of instruction for the line cadets of the service, and nearly all the present line officers on the active list have
secured their preliminary training on this vessel. She had, however,
outlived her usefulness as a practice ship, and by dhection of the
Secretary of the Treasury was altered into a quarantine vessel and
transferred to the Public Health Service, under which branch of the
Treasury Department she is now performing service at Fortress
Monroe, Va. No other changes in the list of vessels have occurred
during the year.
Attention is again invited to the urgent necessity of providing new
ships to supply the pressing needs of the service. Unfortunately a
bUl to provide four new vessels to replace the Perry, Woodbury,
Manhattan, and Winona, although receiving the unanimous approval
of the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, f aUed
of passage at the last session of Congress. The bUl has since been
reintroduced duriag the present session of Congress, and, as the
necessity for these new vessels is even greater than it was a year ago,
it is earnestly hoped t h a t the bill will be passed at the earliest possible
time. In order to expedite the construction of these vessels, so
badly needed, plans and specifications for the new craft are now
being prepared by the technical officers having charge of such work.
The. Woodbury, Manhattan, and Win/ynxi are in such condition t h a t .
it is extremely difficult to keep them up in such a state as to enable
them to perform any service. The Perry, as previously reported, was
lost in the Bering Sea during the summer of 1910, and- her absence
makes it almost impossible to perform efficiently the duties required
of the service on the Pacific coast.
Current repahs to the vessels of the service have been made as the
necessities for them became apparent and, in addition thereto, extensive repairs have been made to the Manning, Calumet, and Morrill. The former vessel was reboUered and additional bunkers added.
The main engine was altered to the end t h a t a greater ratio of expansion might be obtained. By these improvements the steaming radius
of this vessel has been nearly doubled, a most desirable feature for
the Bering Sea cruising, and this too without reducing the maximum
speed of the cutter. The Calumet was provided with a new boUer
and at the same time fitted with oU-fuel burning apparatus. The
entire absence of smoke incident to this change and her readiness
to respond to hurry calls makes this fuel an ideal one for vessels on
boarding duty. The Morrill was given a thorough overhauling,
including new decks, new house, new masts, and the installation of
radio apparatus.
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
75
Many of the older vessels of the service need extensive repairs to
both hull and machinery, but the appropriation allowed annually
(only $175,000 for the entire service) makes it impossible to provide
these repairs on more than two or three vessels each year and at the
same time keep up the current repairs of a minor nature. I t is hoped
during the current fiscal year to make repahs to the McCulloch similar to those made to the Manning during the last year. Such repairs
alone cost upward of $60,000 for one vessel, a considerable proportion
of the total allotment for the entire service, but the gains in the
economy of operation and the efficiency consequent to the greatly
enlarged steaming radius make the investment an excellent one.
Service depot in AlasTca.
I t is recommended that a permanent depot be established either at
Dutch Harbor or Unalaska, Alaska, as a base for the operations of
the service in northern waters. For many years past one or the other
of these places, located about 1 mUe apart, has been used as a temporary base for the Bering Sea patrol fleet and other vessels in Alaskan
waters; in fact, owing to their geographical location and their safe
harbors they are the only ports that can be used for this purpose.
As the growing importance of Alaska, the increase in its shipping,
and the duty of enforcing the convention for the prevention of pelagic
sealing will require such a supply base for years to come, either of
these two ports must continue to be so used, and in the interest of
economy the Government should have its own station at one of these
places for the storage of necessary fuel and supplies.
At the present time coal for the fleet must be purchased practically
•without competition, since there is but one concern at each of these
ports from which fuel can be obtained. During the past 2 years coal
has cost at Unalaska $12 a ton and fresh meat 30 cents a pound.
The average amounts of these items purchased annually are 4,500
tons of coal and 30,000 pounds of fresh meat. Good coal can be
purchased at the mines and delivered at Unalaska for about $7 a ton.
Allowing $1 for handling, it wUl be seen that a saving of $4 a ton, or
$18,000 annually, would be effected in the matter of coal alone if
the Government had its own station at Dutch Harbor or Unalaska.
There are other Government vessels belonging to other departments which are obliged to coal at Unalaska, and the total saving
to the Government annuaUy in the cost of coal would not be less than
$20,000.
Dutch Harbor would be the better location, because of its larger
harbor, but if the Government could not acquire at a reasonable cost
the site at that place, now owned by the North American Commercial
Co., consisting of about 40 acres, with wharf, storehouses, and other
buildings, a reservation could be had at Unalaska, about 1 mUe to
76
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
the southward, and the wharves and buildings now occupied by the
Alaska Commercial Co. could be purchased and put in proper condition.
Saving of life and property on interior navigable waters.
In view of the beneficial results of the activities of the RevenueCutter Service in the saving of life and property along the Atlantic,
Gulf, and Pacific coasts and on the Great Lakes, the question naturally arises why these benefits should not be extended to the inhabitants and shipping interests along the navigable waters in the great
Middle West and Southwest.
The annual overflowing of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and their
tributaries, the great loss of life and property incident thereto, and
the necessity, as evidenced last year, of sending from the Great Lakes
and the Atlantic ports skilled men and life-saving apparatus to aid
in saving lives in the inundated regions, presents a legitimate field
for the operations, of the Revenue-Cutter Service. Three typical
light-draft river steamers should be constructed and equipped as
revenue cutters; each of these craft provided with not less than four
powerful motor lifeboats and equipped with such other lUe-saving
appliances as may be necessary for work along the rivers. During the
flood seasons these cutters should be directed to follow the crest of
the flood from Pittsburgh down to the mouth of the Mississippi,
and there is but little doubt that their services would be of great value
in rescuing lives and property and in distributiag food and clothing
t o marooned people. During flood times surgeons could be detaUed
to the cutters to render medical aid where needed. Duriag the
periods when floods are not raging, the three cutters could be very
efficiently used in patrolling these inland waters for the enforcement
of the navigation and motor-boat laws and in rendering aid to vessels
in distress.
Headquarters should be assigned to these cutters at Louisville or
Cincinnati on the Ohio, at St. Louis on the upper Mississippi, and at
Helena, Ark., or Vicksburg, Miss., on the lower Mississippi.
Cutters of this type can be constructed and properly equipped for
$80,000 each, or a total of $240,000 for the three. The annual cost
of maiatenance would be approximately $80,000 for the three cutters,
a small sum to expend for the saviag of life and property when compared with the vast sums annually lost through these floods.
This matter is earnestly submitted for consideration.
Appointment of cadets.
Some relief from the critical situation regarding the recruithig of
its commissioned personnel, which confronted the service duriag the
past year, was afforded by a clause in the sundry civU bill for the
fiscal year 1914, which provided for the appoiatment of 7 cadets dur

ing the current year. Even with these 7 appointments, there still
exist 7 vacancies which can not be filled at the present time. I t is
therefore earnestly recommended that 7 additional cadetships be
authorized for the fiscal year 1915, makiag a total of 14 cadets and
cadet engineers for that year. I t is also urged that in 1916 permanent
authorization be made for 21 cadets and cadet engineers. The record
of the past shows that 7 cadets is the average number needed each
year to fill vacancies, and as three years is the maximum period of
probation for cadets, there should be 21 cadets and cadet engiaeers
under instruction all the time to provide for the vacancies which occur
in the authorized personnel of 242 officers of all grades.
Inadequate appropriations.
Reference was made in the last annual report to the fact that notwithstandiag the constantly increasing duties requhed of the RevenueCutter Service, the appropriations for the maiatenance of the service
during the past two or three years have been reduced. In 1911, a
horizontal cut of $100,000 was made, to be foUowed by a stUl further
reduction of $28,000 for the fiscal year 1913, and this despite the
almost universal advance in the cost of fuel, rations, and supplies.
The statement was made hi the last annual report that this condition
would inevitably force an application to Congress for a deficiency
appropriation, and it has been found necessary to obtain deficiency
funds on two occasions in order to carry the service through the last
fiscal year. In addition to this, and despite the fact that substantial
economies were effected by purchasing supplies through the Navy
contracts, other methods had to be adopted to keep the expenditures
within the limit of the sums appropriated. Therefore, the crews of
certain cutters on the Atlantic coast were reduced and the activities
of these vessels restricted duriag the months of May and June. These
expedients are not in the true iaterests of economy, as they actually
cripple the service by preventing the efficient performance of its
legitimate functions. For the current fiscal year an increase of
$40,000 over that of the appropriation for 1913 was allowed, but even
with this increase the authorized appropriation is much less than the
total amount for which carefully prepared estimates were submitted,
and in all probabUity the expedients resorted to last year wUl have
to be repeated before the close of the current fiscal year. I t is therefore earnestly requested that Congress be urged to allot a sufficient
amount for the maintenance duriag the next fiscal year, to the end
that the service may be able to perform the duties required of it.

REPORT ON, TPIE FINANCES.
The amount of public moneys held by the bank depositaries on
June 30, 1913, including funds to the credit of the Treasurer's general
account and United States disbursing officers, was $76,263,615.06,
an increase since June 30, 1912, of $27,757,429.29. On June 30,
1913, there were 850 regular depositaries and 691 temporary depositaries; 218 were designated during the year and 34 discontinued.
On November 1, 1913, the number was 1,621, and the amount of
public moneys held by them was $98,069,011.43.
DIVISION OF BOOKKEEPING AND WARRANTS.
The fiscal transactions recorded in this division during the year
ended June 30, 1913, were as foUows:
The books of the division have carried open receipt and appropriation accounts during the year to the number of 7,500, which have
been charged and credited with aU warrant entries affecting the
receipts and disbursements.
Approximately 7,600 active accounts of coUecting and disbursing
officers were carried in the current personal ledgers of the division,
recording their transactions as to deposits of public moneys and expenditures made from moneys advanced to them.
The method formerly used of recording receipt and pay warrants
in permanent registers in manuscript has been replaced by a system
of loose-leaf registers, typewritten records therefor in quadruplicate
being produced at one writing, one copy for this division and separate
copies for similar records in the offices of the ComptroUer of the
Treasury and the Treasurer of -the United States, where books in
manuscript have heretofore been kept. Additional copies of the paywarrant schedules are also furnished the Auditor for the Treasury
Department for information in stating the quarterly accounts of the
Treasurer of the United States, and the original sheets of receipt
and repay warrants are furnished the several auditors for their use
in settling the accounts of fiscal officers.
A totar of 113,716 receipt and pay warrants, aggregating $3,9.26,923,553.16, was issued during the year., Of this number30,952
were for the receipt of moneys into the Treasury, and 82,764 for disbursements from the Treasury.
Of the above sum, warrants in the amount of $1,496,215,653.88,
representing receipts of $747,512,079.84 and disbursements of
$748,703,574.04, including public-debt items, were credited and
charged respectively to the general fund of the Treasury; warrants
representing $2,022,742,200 were issued for public-debt receipts and

There were 6 counterfeit-note issues during the year, which shows
a marked decrease compared with 1912, when there were 24; of these
6 but 1 was at all dangerous. The total representative values of
notes and coins captured durhig the year was $42,000, as against
$39,000 for 1912. There were 365 arrests, against 324 in 1912.
The note raiser was unusually active, 58 of the 67 persons charged
with violating sections 148 and 151 of the Penal Code beiag note
raisers or passers of raised notes. The Pacific coast suffered most
from the operations of these offenders, but since the arrest in January

of 1 of the principal offenders and 15 confederates at San Francisco,
Cal., and Portland, Oreg., that section of the country has experienced
rehef in this respect. While coin counterfeiters represent more than
60 per cent of the total arrests and there was an increase in the
amount of counterfeit coins captured during the year, the ^^coiner''
is apparently abandoning the more difficult and expensive method
of striking his coins from dies in favor of the easier and cheaper
molding process. There were 16 dies captured during the year, as
against 25i in 1912, whUe 184 molds were seized, compared with 119
the previous year.

$332,827; in 1912, $328,303; and in 1913, $294,403. The number of
requisitions on the Pubhc Printer was also correspondingly reduced.
In 1911 there were 7,327; in 1912,5,947; while in 1913 there were but
5,147. The foregoing reduction resulted from a careful supervision
of the work and in no way interfered with the efficiency of the service.

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
Postage.
The appropriation for postage to prepay matter addressed to
Postal Union countries and for postage for the Treasury Department
for the fiscal year 1913 was $1,000. Expenditures from the appropriation amounted to $961.53, with a resulting balance of $38.47.
Materials for booTcbinder.
The expenditures from the appropriation of $250 for materials for
the department bookbinder for the fiscal year 1913 amounted to
$247.93, leaving a balance on hand of $2.07.
Duplicating worJc.
Duriag the year 918 requisitions were made for duplicatiag forms
in the duplicating section of the division. This plant is used for
duplicating circulars, smaU forms, etc., on which quick delivery is
necessary. In addition to this feature, the plant has proved quite
an economy, saving the cost of prhiting at the Government Printing
Office which would otherwise have been required.
Department advertising.
The number of authorizations for advertising issued to newspapers
and periodicals durhig the year was 3,234, and vouchers for the same
were examined and certified to the auditor for settlement. The expenditure for advertising was approximately $18,500. It was in
large part for soliciting bids for the purchase of buUding sites and
for the erection of public buUdings and their equipment and maintenance, though a portion of it was for supplies for the RevenueCutter, Life-Saving, and Public Health Services, and the notices of
seizures, unclaimed goods, and sales authorized to be made by collectors of customs and internal revenue ia connection therewith.
Addressing machines.
The addressing machines operated hi the division for the benefit of
the department have proved both useful and economical. On these
machines were addressed during the year many thousands of envelopes. They are especially useful and convenient in hurried work
and in emergencies, • as in the case of bank caUs by the Comptroller
of the Currency, the date and hour of which are unknown except to
the comptroller, and in connection with the issuance of hurried and
important financial statements by the Secretary.

Treasury notes might be exchanged for United States bonds to July
1,1863. The amount of notes authorized by this act were to be in
lieu of $100,000,000 authorized by the resolution of January 17,1863
(12 Statutes, 822). The act of May 31, 1878 (20 Statutes, 87), provides
that no more of the United States legal-tender notes shall be canceled or retired, and that when any of said notes are redeemed or
received into the Treasury under any law, from any source whatever, and shall belong to the United States, they shall not be retired,
canceled, or destroyed, but shall be reissued and paid out again, and
kept in circulation.
The act of March 14, 1900, provides that United States notes, when
presented to the Treasury for redemption, shall be redeemed in gold
coin of the standard fixed in said act, and that in order to secure
the prompt and certain redemption of such notes it shall be the
duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to set apart in the Treasury a
reserve fund of one hundred and fifty million dollars in gold coin and
bullion, to be used for such redemption purposes only, and that
whenever and as often as any of said notes shall be redeemed from
said fund it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to
use said notes so redeemed to restore and maintain the reserve fund
so established—first, by exchanging the notes so redeemed for any
gold coin in the general fund of the Treasury; second, by accepting
deposits of gold coin at the Treasury or at any subtreasury in exchange for such notes; third, by procuring gold coin by the use of
said notes in accordance with the provisions of section 3700 of the
Revised Statutes of the United States. The above-mentioned act
also provides that if the Secretary of the Treasury is unable to
restore and maintain the gold coin in the reserve fund by the foregoing methods, and the amount of such gold coin and bullion in
said fund shall at any time fall below one hundred million dollars,
it shall be his duty to restore the same to the maximum sum of one
hundred and fifty million dollars by borrowing money on the credit
of the United States, and for the debt so incurred to issue and sell
coupon or registered bonds of the United States bearing interest at
the rate of not exceeding three per centum per annum, payable
quarterly, the bonds to be payable at the pleasure of the United
States after one year from the date of their issue, and to be payable,
principal and interest, in gold coin of the present standard value,
the gold coin received from the sale of said bonds to be exchanged
for an equal amount of the notes redeemed and held for exchange,
and the Secretary of the Treasury may, in his discretion, use said
notes in exchange for gold, or to purchase or redeem any bonds of
the United States, or for any other lawful purpose the public interests may require, except that they shall not be used to meet deficiencies in the current revenues.
The act of March 4, 1907, section 2, provides that whenever and so
long as the outstanding silver certificates of the denominations of
one dollar, two dollars, and five dollars, issued under the provisions
of section seven of an act entitled " A n act to define and fix the
standard of value, to maintain the parity of all forms of money
issued or coined by the United States, to refund the public debt, and
for other purposes," approved March fourteenth, nineteen hundred.

2 Postal savings bonds, 2^ per cent.
NOTE 1.—Annual intcx-est charge is computed on amount of outstanding principal at close of fiscal year and is exclusive of interest charge on Pacific Railway bonds.
NOTE 2.—The figures for July 1,1879, were made up assuming pending funding operations to have been completed.
NOTE 3.—The temporary loan per act of July 11,1862, is iacluded in the 4 per cents from 1862 to 1868, inclusive, with the exception of the amount outstandiag Aug. 31, 1865,
this being the date at which the public debt reached its highest poiat. This loan bore interest from 4 per cent to 6 per cent, and was redeemable on 10 days' notice after 30 days, but
being constantly changing it has been considered more equitable to iaclude the whole amount outstandiag as beariag 4 per cent interest on an average for the year.

REPORT ON T H E FINTANCES.
The total ordinary receipts are, at $724,111,229.84, the largest in
our history, and this increase occurs by growth in all of the sources
except the sale of lands. The net increase was $32,332,764.47.
There was a reduction of expenditures in the civil and miscellaneous of $2,995,315.87, anci the Naval Establishment spent $2,329,093.75
less than in the preceding 12 months. Increased expenditures are
recorded by the Military Establishment of $11,592,030.93; in the
Indian Service of $171,319.10; interest on the public debt of $282,807.60, and in pensions of $21,494,994.03, which indicates the nation^s
liberality to its defenders. The net growth of expenditures for the
year was $28,216,742.04.
THE PANAMA CANAL.
The excess of mcome over outgo in the governmental finances
during the past fiscal year has maintained an adequate balance in
the Treasury for the ordinary operations, as well as the special
activities now under way; therefore it was not deemed advisable by
the Secretary of the Treasury to offer for sale additional bonds of
the Panama Canal loan. The expenses incurred in the construction
of that great work during the year, amounting to $41,741,258.03, were
paid out of the general fund of the Treasury, and the total net balance
so expended to June 30, 1913, reimbursable from the proceeds of
bonds not yet sold, is $179,627,617.07.
The proceeds of sales of bonds and the disbursements on account
of the canal to the close of the fiscal year 1913 are set forth by years
in the table following:

14, 1890, to retire national-bank notes were $21,471,010, which, with
the deposits for the postal-savings bonds, makes a total of $23,400,850
in actual cash received on account of the public debt, while the cash
disbursements on account of the principal of matured loans and
fractional currency were $102,575 and for national-bank notes canceled and retired $24,089,035.50, a total disbursement for the public
debt of $24,191,610.50. The net result was an excess of disbursements of $790,760.50. .

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
In a study of the foregoing table it will be observed that the
United States notes issued and credited in the general account as a
receipt are offset by an equal amount of worn or unfit notes in kind
withdrawn therefrom, canceled, and retired, which is in accordance
with the provisions of the act of May 31, 1878. In explanation of the
manner of issuing and redeeming gold certificates, silver certificates,
and Treasury notes of 1890, it may be said that for certificates issued
and credited in the general account an equal amount of the respective
kinds of money held in the general account is transferred therefrom
to, and retained in, the trust funds for their redemption; for gold certificates, silver certificates, and Treasury notes withdrawn from the
general fund, canceled, and retired, a like amount of the respective
coins is released from the trust funds and brought into the general
fund in their stead.
PUBLIC DEBT, 1912 AND 1913.
At the close of the fiscal year 1913 the outstanding priacipal of the
interest-beariag debt was $965,706,610, an increase of $1,929,840 as
compared with t h a t of 1912. The increase was caused by the issue
of postal-saviags bonds.
^
The debt bearing no iaterest amounted to $377,341,134.66, a
decrease of $2,720,600.50.
The certificates and notes issued on deposits of coin and bullion
(trust funds, act of March 14, 1900) increased $48,401,800, and
amounted to $1,572,937,169 at the close of the fiscal year June 30,
1913.
Comparison of the public debt is made, by items, for the fiscal
years 1912 and 1913 in the following statement:

TREASURER.
PAYMENT OF INTEREST ON THE REGISTERED BONDS OF THE
STATES.
UNITED
For interest on registered bonds of the United States, due June 1,
1912, and thereafter, checks have been prepared and mailed from
the ofl&ce of the Secretary of the Treasury. Such checks bear a
certificate as to the principal of bonds registered in the name of the
payee, over the facsimile signature of the Chief of the Division of
Loans and Currency; they also bear t h e facsimile signature of the
Secretary of the Treasury, and are countersigned by a clerk in his
ofl&ce. These checks were embraced in Department Circular No. 5,
and since February 1, 1913, have been drawn on the Treasurer of the
United States, b u t are payable by any assistant treasurer or regular
national-bank depositary of the United States, and the amount so
disbursed is included inthe requisition for reimbursement made by the
Treasurer at the end of the month. The paid checks are sent to the
Register of the Treasury for an administrative examination, who in
turn forwards them to the Auditor for the Treasury Department.
RESERVE AND TRUST FUNDS.
The redemptions from the reserve fund during the past fiscal year
were, in United States notes, $67,850,957, and in Treasury notes
$67,830, making a total of $67,918,787. Under the provisions of the
act of March 14, 1900, the redeemed notes were exchanged for gold
coin each day, and thereby the reserve was maintained at the fixed
amount of $150,000,000. There was no apparent disposition on
the part of the holders of United States notes to use them in withdrawing gold coin from the Treasury. The transactions in the
reserve fund represent more truly exchanges to secure an accommodation in denominations of currency.
At the close of the fiscal year 1913 the trust funds amounted to
$1,572,937,169, of which $887,471,847 was in gold coin, $199,255,322
in gold bullion, and $486,210,000 in standard silver dollars.
There was an increase during the year of $46,669,800 in the gold
held against the outstanding gold certificates, and of $1,732,000 in
the silver dollars held against outstanding Treasury notes of 1890
and silver certificates.
The transactions in trust-fund obligations during the fiscal year
1913 are recorded in the statement foflowing:

and the working balance in such offices; the second part shows the
amounts of public moneys in national banks and other depositaries
to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States and of disbursing
officeis, the demands against the sama, and the net balance in such
depositaries subject to draft; the third part shows the cash items
held in Treasury ofl&ces, but which, under provisions of law, are of
limited tender or unavailable for payinent.
The assets in the general fund in the Treasury on June 30, 1913,

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
The working balance in the vaults of the Treasury at the close of
the year was $71,052,925.96.
I t will be seen from the foregoing figures that if an emergency should
arise calling for an increase of Government deposits in depositary
banks the Secretary of the Treasury is in position to give prompt
and effective rehef to the business situation.
The balance in the Treasury at the end of each month from January,
1907, is stated in Table No. 19, page 261, ahd for July 1 in each year
since 1906 in the subjoined statement:

GOLD IN THE TREASURY.
The gold in the Treasury at the close of the fiscal year 1913
amounted to $1,262,361,035.87, of which $1,011,245,007.87 was in
coin.
Under the provisions of the act of March 2,1911, gold certificates are
issued against gold bullion and foreign coin deposited in the Treasury.
These certificates differ in no particular from those issued against
United States gold coin and are payable in such coin. The iatent and
effept of the act are not to limit the free coinage of gold. The mints
continue to receive all the gold that is offered, and it enters into circulation either in coin or in gold certificates. The effect is simply to
allow the Treasury to carry a portion of the reserves in bullion, thus
saving cost of coinage.
The amount of new gold coias of current coiaage shipped to depositors therefor at the expense of the consignee for transportation
charges during the fiscal year was $11,513,233.50. This is one of theannual demands made upon the Treasury and is due priacipally to
the popularity of these coins for Christmas gifts, Easter offerings,
birthday presents, and like purposes.
The total amount of gold in the Treasury on July 1 in each year
from 1906, set apart for the respective uses, is recorded in the statement following.

The board of trustees reserves the right to reclassify the securities acceptable for

POSTAL SAVINGS BONDS AND INVESTMENTS
THEREIN.
The trustees of the Postal Savings System, under a general authority conferred upon them in the postal saviags law, have arranged to
take over at par any of the postal savings bonds that depositors may
wish to turn back.
Under the arrangement outliaed in the foregoing the Treasurer of
the United States held on June 30, 1913, $117,460 ia postal savings
bonds, representing investments made by the board of trustees,
Postal Savings System. The first imvestment ia these bonds was
made on December 9, 1911, when they were quoted ia the open
market at 92^ cents on the dollar. All of such bonds held b}^ the
Treasurer are registered in the name of the board of trustees.
WITHDRAWAL OF BONDS TO SECURE CIRCULATION.
Under the provisions of the act of March 4, 1907, the deposits of
lawful money to retire national bank notes was limited to $9,000,000
per month, but this limit was not reached ia any month duriag the
past fiscal year. The national bank notes outstandiag took on a
growth of $14,022,914 during the fiscal year and amounted to
$759,157,906 on June 30, 1913, which apparently indicates that there
was an active demand for money throughout the country, and under
such conditions there was no disposition on the part of the national
banks to contract the volume of their circulating notes.
The deposits of lawful money and the amount of bank circulation
outstandiag may be studied in the monthly statement following:

The Secretary of the Treasury determines, the number of such
depositaries and. the amount of public money required in each for the
transaction of the public busiaess, fixes the amount of balances they
may hold, and .requires the banks thus designated to give satisfactory
security, by the deposit of United States bonds and otherwise, for the
safe-keeping and prompt payment of the public money deposited with
them, and for the faithful performance of their duties as financial
agents of the Government. The regular depositaries receive and
disburse the public moneys, whUe the special depositaries hold only
the moneys transferred to them from the Treasury. All of the depositaries are required to pay iaterest at the rate of 2 per cent per annum
from and after June 1, 1913, on the average monthly amount of
public deposits held.
The number of national-bank depositaries at the close of the fiscal
years 1912 and 1913 may be observed in the statement followiag:

At the close of the fiscal year 1913 there were 1,535 depositary
banks and the total amount of pubhc moneys held therein was
$76,263,615.06, which was secured by bonds pledged therefor with
the Treasurer of the United States.
PUBLIC DEPOSITS IN NATIONAL BANKS.
At the close of the fiscal year 1912 the balance in depositary banks
to the credit of the general fund was $37,953,488.51, and to the
credit of disbursing officers $10,552,697.26, making a total of
$48,506,185.77.
The worldng balance in the Treasury offices at the beginning of the
fiscal year 1913 was $98,742,425.40, an amount largely in excess of
the actual requirements of the department for the transaction of the
pubhc business. As there was no necessity for withdrawing the
pubhc deposits from national banks, there was but slight change in
the total holdings of the depositary banks during the first half of
thefiscal year.
On January 9, 1913, the Secretary of the Treasury (Mr. MacVeagh),
issued Department Circular No. 5, which inaugurated a radical
change in the manner of handhng and disbursing the pubhc funds.
I t provided, first, that on and after February 1, 1913, every deposit
of funds to the official credit of a disbursing officer (except those
stationed in the Phihppine Islands) shall be made with the Treasurer
of the United States; second, all moneys standing to the official
credit of disbursing officers with assistant treasurers and active
designated depositary banks at the close of business January 31,
1913, shall be transferred to hke credit of such disbursing officers
with the Ti^easurer of the United States, through the medium of the
TREASURER.
>211
general account of the Treasurer of the United Stateg; third, all
Treasury Department warrants. Post Office Department warrants,
disbursing officers' checks, checks in payment of interest on the
pubhc debt, and Secretary's special deposit checks shall be drawn on
the Treasurer of the United States.
I t contemplated that each assistant treasurer and each active
designated depositary bank shall pay the warrants and checks
enumerated in the foregoing when drawn on the Treasurer of the
United States and presented in due course of business; the warrants
and checks so paid tOt be scheduled daily, charged ui the regular
transcripts of the general account as a transfer of funds, and forwarded to the Treasurer of the United States. I t made necessary
a more extended use of national banks as Government depositaries,
and required an adjustment of the balances then in such depositaries
with a view of making a broader distribution of the pubhc funds.
At the end of January, immediately preceding the beginning of
operations under the new system of accounting, the balance in banks
to the credit of the general fund was $33,426,832.85, and to the
credit of disbursing officers $13,154,055.74.
Complying with the instructions given for operations under the
new system of accounting, large amounts standing to the credit of
disbursing officers on the books of depositary banks were transferred
to like credit with the Treasurer of the United States through the
medium of the general account, and as a result the balance in banks
to the credit of the general fund became $44,423,609.19 by the close
of February, while the amount standing to the credit of disbursing
officers (principaUy court funds and postmasters' balances) was
reduced to $4,644,873.51, making a total holding of $49,068,482.70.
As the warrants and checks issued on Government account drift to
commercial centers, the depositary banks thereia were called upon
to make payment of these obligations in greater amount than had
formerly been the practice; consequently there was necessity for
some increase of balances in the depositary banks located in such
centers, and the amounts requhed for the purpose were withdrawn
from dep'ositary banks ia localities where the funds were not required
for such disbui'sements. The adjustment of balances in banks to
meet the changed conditions was continued during the months of
March and April without increasing the public deposits therein to
any great extent.
On April 30, 1913, the Secretary of the Treasury gave notice that
on and after June 1, 1913, all depositary banks would be requhed to
pay interest at the rate of 2 per cent per annum on the average
monthly amount of public funds held by them, such interest to be
paid semiannally January 1 and July 1 of each year. The depositary
banks were requested to advise the department at once whether they
desired to contiaue as depositaries under this new regulation as to the
payment of interest, and if they wished to retain the full amount now
on deposit or only a portion of the public funds which they are
authorized to hold. Less than a dozen of the 1,500 depositaries
declined to retain the deposits and pay interest thereon, and a few
others requested that the public moneys therein be reduced.
The Secretary also stated that, under section 5153 of the Revised
Statutes, national banks which have been or may be designated as
212
REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
Government depositaries, instead of placing with the Treasurer as
security for deposits as heretofore bonds exclusively of the United
States or of the provincial Govermnents for the full amount of their
deposits, wUl hereafter be allowed to secure 70 per cent of such
deposits with Government bonds of the above classes and the remaining 30 per cent at the election of the depositary bank, either with similar Government bonds at par or with high-class State, city, and
county bonds, acceptable to the Secretary of the Treasury, to be
taken as security at 75 per cent of their market value, but not to
exceed par.
With the banks paying interest on Government deposits the Secretary is justffied in keeping larger balances in the national banks,
thereby increasing the volume of money in circulation, and to that
extent reducing the amount locked up in the Treasury. The free
balance in the general fund at this time being in excess of the immediate requirements of the department the Secretary has authorized
the transfer from the Treasury to national bank depositaries in diffeivent sections of the country of $10,000,000.
To offset the drain upon the money in circulation in the District of ^
Columbia due to the collection of taxes in the month of May and the
depo^sit of the money in the Treasury of the United States, the Secretary of the Treasury on May 6 directed that the public deposits in the
national banks of the District of Columbia be increased by $4,000,000,
the transfers to be made in four equal installments on May 15, 26,
June 5 and 16, and to be divided among the several banks ia proportion to the total deposits therein, and to be secured by bonds deposited with the Treasurer of the United States. Of the amount so
placed, the depositary banks were required to return to the Treasury
20 per cent on or before July 15, 1913, 20 per cent on or before August
15, 1913, 10 per cent on or before September 15, 1913, and a like sum
on or before the 15th of each succeediag month, making the final payment on or before February 14, 1914. The department reserved the
right to demand an earlier return of the money deposited if for any
reason it should be deemed advisable. Interest at the rate of 2 per
cent per annum is required on this deposit.
At the end of May, 1913, the balance in banks to the credit of the
general fund was $46,825,967.40 and to the credit of disbursing
officers $5,488,284.91, making a total of $52,314,252.31.
The greater part of the corporation tax is paid in June (the last
month of the fiscal year); therefore the income and outgo of public
moneys through the depositary banks is greater in this month than
in other months of the year. The collectors of internal revenue
rieceived payments of this tax until a late hour on the last day of the
fiscal year and as a result the collections were deposited in banks,
in many instances, after bankiag hours, and transfers thereof to
Treasury offices could not be eff'ected until the succeediag bushiess
day.
At the close of the fiscal year on June 30, 1913, the balance m
banks to the credit of the general fund was $69,746,133.15, and to the
credit of disbursiag officers $6,517,481.91, makiag a total of
$76,263,615.06.
TREASURER.
213
GENERAL ACCOUNT OF THE TREASURER OF THE UNITED STATES.
The lYeasurer receives and keeps the moneys of the United States
and disburses the same upon warrants drawn by the Secretary of the
Treasury, countersigned by the Comptroller of the Treasury, and
not otherwise. He takes receipts for all moneys paid by him and
gives receipts for aU moneys received by him; and aU receipts for
moneys received by him are indorsed upon warrants signed by the
Secretary of the Treasury, without which warrant, so signed, no
acknowledgment for money received into the Public Treasury is
valid. He renders his accounts quarterly, or oftener if requhed,
and at all times submits to the Secretary of the Treasury and the
Comptroller of the Treasury, or either of them, the inspection of the
moneys in his hands.
As a matter of information, it may be said that all public moneys
paid into any subtreasury office, national bank depositary, or other
depositary, are placed to the credit of the Treasurer of the United
States and held subject to his draft. The public moneys in the hands
of any depositary of public moneys may be transf erred to the Treasury
of the United States or may be transferred from one depositary to any
other depositary, as the safety of the public moneys and the convenience of the public service shall require.
The public moneys in any subtreasury, mint, or other depositary
are subject to special exammation and count whenever it is deemed
advisable by the Secretary of the Treasury. Such examinations of
the moneys in the subtreasuries are frequently made by committees
representing the Secretary and the Treasurer. Annual examiaations
of the public moneys in mints are made by committees selected by
the Director of the Mint, but as these moneys are a part of the general
account it is suggested that the Treasurer of the United States
should have a representative on aU such committees.
Under the operations of department circular No. 5, an immense
volume of accounting was transferred to the office of the Treasurer,
requiring a large addition to the clerical force for the performance of
the duties. All credits to disbursiag officers are now placed on the
books of the Treasurer, and such disbursiag officers conduct theh
bushiess with the Treasurer of the United States only. There are
about 4,000 accounts with balances, of which more than 1,900 are
very active. The checks handled daily on these accounts number
approximately 30,000, and the regulations requhe monthly statements of transactions in each account to be rendered to the respective disbursing officers.
MONETARY STOCK.
The figures annexed give the data for a comparison of the monetary
stock of the country at the close of June, 1912 and 1913. The gold
coin and bulhon show an increase in the fiscal year 1913 of $52,573,418.
The silver coins advanced in volume by $4,872,034. United States
notes remained under the law unchanged. Treasury notes fell off
$269,000. National-bank notes received an increment of $14,022,914.
The net increase during the fiscal year was $71,199,366.

MONEY IN CIRCULATION.
The money in circulation has again broken the record of previous
years and attained a maxunum at $3,363,738,449 on June 30, 1913.
The increase during the last fiscal year was $79,225,356, of which
$58,238,737 was ia gold coin and gold certfficates. The circulation
per capita was $34.56.
I t will be observed that the volume of national-bank notes in circulation took on a growth of $10,611,977 as compared with that of
12 months earlier. I t has been asserted by financial students that
this increase in bank notes at a time of low-money rates would iaevitably have a tendency to produce exports of gold. If such results be
expected, it will be of interest to learn what proportion of the total
chculation the national-banlc notes represent as compared with thegold, sUver, and United States notes." This is shown in the statement

REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.
CIRCULATION AND POPULATION.
The population of the United States, it is estimated, has increased
over 12,000,000 since July 1, 1906, and the money in chculation for
the same period has taken on a growth of more than $630,000,000.
The per capita chculation grew in the meantime from $32.32 to
$34.56. I t IS apparent from the mcreasing growth in the amount of
money in chculation that it is equal to if not in excess of the legitimate
demand therefor. The .extension of habitation into remote districts,
multiplication of lines of traffic, and the development of industrial
activities are some of the requhements that must be provided for by
an annual iacrease of money in chculation.
Statistics relative to the money in chculation and the population,
by years, may be studied in the annexed table:

CONDITION OF THE UNITED STATES PAPER CURRENCY.
Thei total stock of paper currency in the United States amounted
to $2,678,776,091 at the close of the last fiscal year, of which the
National Government issued $1,919,618,185, or 71.7 per cent, and
the national banks $759,157,906, or 28.3 per cent. The pieces outstandiag of the denominations of $5 and under number 327,008,021,
of which the Government issued 297,831,944, or 90 per cent, and the
national banks 29,176,077, or 9.9 per cent.
During the fiscal year 1913 the Government issued 318,264,407
pieces of paper currency of the total value of $1,035,462,000, while
291,131,640 pieces of worn and unfit paper money of the total value
of $987,060,200 were redeemed and retned.
National banks are precluded from issuing^ $1 and *$2 notes, and
the issue of $5 notes is limited to one-thhd in amount of the total
circulation of the banks. Experience shows that a large number of
the banks are reluctant to issue $5 notes. If the option of one-thhd
in $5 bills had been taken by all national banks the normal supply
of such bank bills on June 30, 1913, would have been $253,052,635
instead of tlie amount reported, viz, $143,751,670.
National-bank notes are not available for ^^reserves,'' and for this
reason large amounts of such circulation are returned to the Treasury
by the banks for redemption in order to replenish their^^reserves.^'
The expense of transportation to the Treasury in such cases is borne
TREASURER.
217
by the bank of issue, while the return of the proceeds is at the expense
of the owner of the notes. The owners oi Government paper currency sent to the Treasury for redemption have to pay the transportation charges both ways, and the payment of these charges under
contract rates gives rise to a burden that does not bear equally upon
the banks and other business interests in the different sections of
the country, as for instance, the contract rates from Chicago, St.
Louis, and Boston to Washington are 20 cents per $1,000, while such
rates from Savannah, Charleston, Richmond, and other southern
cities to Washington are 60 cents per $1,000.
I t would be a wise and popular measure for the Government to
bear the expense of transporting its unfit currency to the Treasury
for redemption; and it can well afford to do this, for by the use of
the registered mail, with the insurance feature attached, it would
give equal opportunities to the people of all sections and reduce the
expense. Bankiag institutions in all parts of the country are resorting to this method of transportation with satisfactory results. There
can be no objection to the same use of the registered mail by the
Government.
I t is apparent that there is necessity for legislation that will equalize the expense of redemption between the different sections of the
country. This may be accomplished through a more extended use
of the registered mail, and in this connection the Treasurer renews
the suggestion of his predecessor that recommendation be made to
Congress for legislation that will remove the Ihnit on the weight of a
package which may be sent through the registered mail of the United
States and that will authorize the transportation of moneys to and
from the Treasury or between Treasury offices by registered mail,
insured.
Laundering machiaes for cleaniog United States paper money
received for redemption, and rendering such currency fit for further circulation, have been installed in the Treasury at Washiagton and the
subtreasuries at New York, Boston, PhUadelphia, and Chicago. In
planniag work for these machines it was anticipated t h a t the subtreasuries at Baltimore, St. Louis, Cinciimati, and NewOrleans would
furnish from 15,000 to 20,000 notes each daily, but actual results
demonstrated the fact that these offices could supply only an average
of about 4,000 notes each per day. In the Treasury at Washington
there was lack of employees to properly handle this work, so t h a t the
roduct of the machines has been confined to such material as could
e readily furnished, being silver certfficates of the denominations
of $1, $2, and $5, and approximately 150,000 notes are now cleaned
daUy at the Treasury and the subtreasuries. I t is expected that the
number of pieces will be increased to at least 200,000 in a short time.
I t is not contended that the washed notes are equal to or will give
as much service as new notes, but it is believed t h a t the life of usefulness of the laundered notes will be prolonged at a very small expense.

UNITED STATES NOTES.
The principal issue of United States paper money is officiaUy caUed
United States notes. These are the well-known '^greenbacks'' or
'4egal tenders,'/ the first issue of which was authorized by the act of
February 25, 1862. The total amount authorized was $450,000,000,
218
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
and the highest amount outstanding at any time was $449,338,902,
on January 30, 1864.
Under the operations of enactments by Congress authoriziag the
canceling and rethiag of these notes as they were received in the
Treasury, the amount outstandiag had been reduced more than
$100,000,000 when the process was finally stopped by the act of May
31, 1878, which required the notes to be reissued when redeemed.
At that time the amount outstanding was $346,681,016 and it has
not been changed since.
The United States notes issued and redeemed during the last fiscal
year were $163,000,000, an amount that has not been exceeded in any
year smce the close of the War of the Eebellion. The demand for
small denomhiations of currency is at all times urgent. The growth
in the volume of United States notes of the denomhiation of $5 outstanding is the result of the efforts made by the department to supply
the demand through the process of redemption and reissue—that is
to say, by substituting the smaUer denomination for the higher,
denominations redeemed and retired.

fiscal year 1913 are recorded in ttie annexed table:

TREASURY NOTES OF 1890.
The Treasury notes of 1890 are slowly disappearing under the provisions of the-act of March 14, 1900. The total amount of these notes •
issued for the purchase of silver bulhon to November 1, 1893, the date
of the repeal of the act, was $155,931,002. The amount redeemed
and retired during the fiscal year 1913 was $269,000, and the amount
outstanding at the close of the year was $2,660,000, against which
standard silver dollars in equal amount are held in the trust funds for
their redemption when presented.
. The amount outstanding, by denominations, on June 30 for the
past seven years is stated in Table No. 21, page 264.
GOLD CERTIFICATES.
The gold certfficates continue to advance in volumeyear by year and
to add strength to our circulation. There is no Umit to the volume
that may be issued for gold coin and bullion presented at the Treasury offices. The amount outstanding at the close of the last fiscal

year was $1,086,727,169, an increase of $46,669,800 as compared with
that of the previous year. The denominations of these certificates
are restricted to $10 and above, but as the department is liinited in
its resources for the issue of currency of small denominations it becomes more apparent each year that a $5 gold certfficate is an absolute necessity. Large amounts of gold certificates are returned to
the Treasury daily for redemption usually accompanied with a request for the return of a part of the proceeds in denominations of $5.
If the departraent were clothed with authority to issue a $5 gold certificate, it would be in condition to respond to all demands for denominations of $5 and under.

SILVER CERTIFICATES.
The volume of silver certificates outstanding increased during the
fiscal year from $481,549,000 to $483,550,000, and this growth was
in denominations of $1, $2, and. $5.
The resources of the department for the issue of silver certificates
of the smaUer denominations, which are in great demand, is limited
to the free silver dollars in the Treasury, however this resource is
augmented through the process of redemption and reissue. The
silver certfficates of the denominations of $10 and above as they are
redeemed are reissued in denominations of $5 and under.

CHANGES IN DENOMINATIONS.
Experience in all recent years makes clear that the supply of small
notes is hardly equal to the demand. No rule can be set up by
theory of the proper ratio of the several denominations to each other.
The needs of business must be recognized and obeyed. Those needs
make constant demand for small bills as instruments of local trade.
The burden of supplying the smaller denominations required falls
upon the Treasury, and it has employed all its resources to respond
to the conditions. Through the process of redeeming the larger
denomhiations of United States currency and issuing smaller denominations in lieu thereof the Treasury has been enabled to supply
the greater part £>i the demand for such bills.
The total amount of United States paper currency of each denomination issued, redeemed, and outstanding at the close of the
fiscal year 1913 is recorded in the annexed statement:

PIECES OF UNITED STATES PAPER CURRENCY OUTSTANDING.
The demand for small denominations of paper currency, which is
supphed through the process of redeeming the larger denominations
and issuing smaUer denominations in lieu thereof, causes a steady
increase in the number of pieces of United States paper currency
outstanding. This increase may be observed from a comparative

COST OF PAPER CURRENCY.
The paper currency issued by the United States is said to be
superior to that of any other nation in the world. The quality of the
material used and the artistic work of the engraver give us a product
that presents almost insurmountable obstacles to those who would
profit by false imitations. Inquiries often reach the department
relating to the production and the cost of the paper currency.
As a matter of information it may be stated that the paper used is
made by a secret process under Treasury supervision by annual con-

tract under competitive bids. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing/ a branch of the department, designs, under the direction of the
Secretary, engraves, and prints the notes and certificates complete.
This currency is delivered to the Treasurer in packages of 4,000 notes,
the product of 1,000 sheets of paper. Such a package is taken as the
unit from which to reckon the cost.
With the allowance for every item of expense attending the making,
the issue, and the redemption of this paper currency, it appears that
the average cost is as foUows:
Total average expense of 4,000 notes issued
Total average expense of 4,000 notes redeemed
152. 50
8. 54
Aggregate average expense of issue and redemption
61. 04
From the foregoing it may be readily ascertained that the average
cost for each note is 1.526 cents. Calculations based upon these
average expenses of issue and redemption indicate results that will
be very close to the actual cost of maintenance of the paper currency,
and such cost for the fiscal years 1912 and 1913 may be studied from
the details set forth in the annexed table:

I n this connection attention is invited to the saving of abrasion
on the gold and sUver coins held in the Treasury against outstanding
certificates and notes, which to all intents and purposes is an oft'setting item against the cost of the paper currency issued dhectly by the
Government, though not so treated in the foregoing calculations. >
AVERAGE LIFE OF PAPER CURRENCY.
The large amounts of the various kinds of currency presented for
redemption, and its condition, lead to the conclusion that the service of
our paper money is materially shortened by the increasing activities
of such currency in the channels of trade. This is especially noticeable in the smaUer denominations, $5 and under.

PAPER CURRENCY PREPARED FOR ISSUE AND AMOUNT ISSUED.
The growth in business activities, and the tendency toward the use
of small denominations are gradually increasing the pieces of United
States paper currency in circulation, which numbered 354,461,922
on June 30, 1913, of the total value of $1,920,618,185. The Government issues the greater part of the paper currency required; therefore
it is incumbent upon the Treasury to maintain this great number of
pieces and to provide for the annual growth of the smaller denomhiations so much in demand in the channels of trade. Experience and
forethought prompt the preparation of an adequate volume of paper
currency of the kinds and denominations authorized by law in
advance of putting same into chculation. The reserve vault should
be well stocked with such paper, and it should be retained there untU
it is thoroughly seasoned before it is issued. Heretofore but little
progress has been made in accumulating a sufficient reserve of such
bUls, but it is believed that with the improved facUities now in
operation the output in future wUl be ample for this purpose.
The number of pieces and amount of paper currency prepared for
issue and the amount issued since 1906 are recorded in the table

For the past two or three years practically othe whole output of
small denominations was required for issue; consequently but little
progress was.made in storing up an adequate supply of notes and
certificates fitted for good service.
A comparison by number of pieces of each denomination and total
value of the United States paper currency held in the reserve vault
at the close of the fiscal years 1912 and 1913 may be observed in the

TRANSFERS OF FUNDS FOR DEPOSITS MADE IN NEW YORK.
. The cooperation of the Treasury is frequently'requested by banking institutions in the transfer of large amounts of money between
subtreasury cities, through the medium of the general account, to
be used in the movement of crops or to meet other demands of
business. These requests are granted when such transfers are not
incompatible with the public interest.

TREASURER.
USE OF ORDER GOLD CERTIFICATES FOR EXCHANGE ON NEW YORK.
Previous to February 1, 1910, the banks in San Francisco, under
provisions of existing law, exchanged gold coin at the Subtreasury
for demand gold certificates of large denominations, which they sent
by registered maU to their correspondents in New York, thus effecting a transfer of funds at small cost to the banks. The demand gold
certificates were shipped from Washington to San Francisco by
express at the rate of $1.75 per $1,000, while order gold certfficates
(incomplete) were sent by express in packages of $5,000,000 at a
total coast of only $15.
I n order to eliminate the expense of transporting demand certfficates to San Francisco, and at the same time to grant to the banks
in that city their rights under the law to deposit gold coin in exchange
for gold certificates, it was deemed advisable to issue to said banks
order gold" certificates, series of 1900, and to make them payable by
the assistant treasurer of the United States, New York. Under this
plan an actual saving of expense was effected even if it should later
become necessary to transport the gold coin so deposited to New
York, because the transportation charge on gold coin from San
Francisco to New York is less than the charge on demand gold certfficates from Washington to San Francisco. However, there is
usually a '^return movement^' at certain season^ of the year, during
which it becomes deskable on the part of banks to mak^ deposits of
funds in New York, and to have payments made therefor in gold
coin at the Subtreasury in San Francisco.
The transactions, semiannually, since February, 1910, are recorded
in,the statement following:

I t wUl be observed that the deposits made in New York on account
of the return movement are $17,446,763 in excess of the payments
made for gold-certfficates issued at San Francisco. This method
of using the order certificates is in the interest of good administration, and has made it possible to discontinue the shipments of demand
gold certificates from Washington to San Francisco, with a resultant
saving of transportation charges.

amount presented was $675,889,000, 90.01 per cent of the average
circulation outstanding, and was $25,934,289 more than the largest
amount previously received during a year, which was in 1912. Of
the total received, 47.62 per cent was sent by banks in New York City.
The number of remittances was 46,703, and these contamed 69,832,398
notes. The average value of notes presented was $9.62, whUe that of

cent; of the $20 notes, 80.18 per cent; of the $50 notes, 73.53 per cent;
and of the $100 notes, 61.80 per cent. The receipts for the first six
months of the fiscal year, July to December, were 44.74 per cent of the
total, and those for the last six months, January to June, 55.26 per
cent. The largest amount presented duriag a month was $79,753,664

payment out of the general fund as the notes were received. The
largest amount advanced at one time was $23,914,635.44, on January
18, 1913. As the redemptions were greater during 1913 than 1912,
the condition durhig 1913 was an improvement over that of the previous year, when the 5 per cent fund was at no time equal to the
demands made upon it, and the largest advance at one time was
$3,000,000 more than on the above date.
The expenses of redemption, amounting to $517,842.93, have been
assessed upon the banks in.proportion to their notes redeemed at the
rate of $0.77293 per $1,000.

The General Assembly of the State of Louisiana in July, 1912,
passed a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution
of the State, authorizing the board of liquidation of the State debt to
create a sinking fund and to provide, for the payment in full out of
the first surplus accruing in the sinking fund the amount of principal
and interest due on the bonds of the State, the face value of which
aggregates $37,000, and which are held by the United States as trustee for certain Indian funds. This proposition was submitted to the
qualified electors of the State and was ratified by them at the general
election on November 5, 1912.
The State of North Caroliaa has authorized and appointed commissioners to take under consideration a plan for settling the iadebtedness of that State to the United States, but Congress postponed
action on a measure providing for representatives on the part of the
Government.
'
Commissioners representing the Government and the State of Tennessee, under provisions of law, have now under consideration a plan
for settling with that State. I t is apparent that some progress has
been made toward a settlement with the three States named in the
foregoing for the unpaid matured bonds of those States belonging to
the United States.
The bonds held for the Manhattan Savings Institution are in trust
for that institution as indemnity for certain stolen bonds, as provided
by act of December 19, 1878 (20 Stat., 589), and wiU be held for such
time as, in the judgment of the Secretary of the Treasury, wUl secure
the Treasurer of the United States against loss.
Recommendation has been made to Congress for authority to
return to the State of Louisiana the bonds of that State captured at
Shreveport by the Union forces during the War of the Rebellion,
now held as a special deposit by the Secretary of War.
The special trust held for the Secretary of the Treasury is composed of notes of the Panama Railroad Co. drawing 4 per cent interest
payable to the United States, and is security for money advanced
for the equipment and construction of said raUroad.
The special trust held for the District of Columbia represents, first,
the moneys retaiaed from contractors under provisions of law and
invested at the request and risk of said contractors, and, second,
obligations that belong to the District of Columbia.
The special trust held for the board of trustees. Postal Savings
System, consists wholly of postal savings bonds, representing investments made by said board, as described on page 209.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
The transactions of the Treas.urer of the United States, ex officio
commissioner of the sinking fund of the District of Columbia, pertaining to the affairs of the District are fully set forth in a separate
report.
During the fiscal year 1913 the funded debt retired amounted to
$647,700, resulting in the reduction of the annual interest charge by
$23,641.05.
On July 1, 1878, when the Treasurer was charged with the duties
of the late commissioners of the sinking fund of the District of Colum-

bia, the bonded debt was $22,106,650; since that date 3.65 per centbonds have been issued, amounting to $1,254,050, making a total debt
of $23,360,700. This sum has been decreased by the operation of the
sinking fund and otherwise $15,749,850, leaving outstanding July 1,
1913, $7,610,850 of bonds bearing 3.65 per cent interest.
The annual interest charge on July 1, 1878, was $1,015,759.12 and
on July 1, 1913, $277,796.02, showing a reduction of $737,963.10.
The retentions from 30 contracts with the District of Columbia were
canceled during the year by the return to the contractors of $44,020

LEGISLATION RECOMMENDED.
I t is suggested that recommendation to Congress be made in such
form as may be deemed advisable for legislation that wUl authorize
favorable action on the following subjects:
1. Gold certificates for $5.—There is necessity for increasmg the
resources of the Treasur}^ for the issue of small denominations of currency. I t is believed that the issue of gold certificates for $5 instead
of restricting the issue as now to $10 and above wUl enable the department to respond to the demands for small denominations.
2. Increased facilities for exchanging worn and defaced United States
paper currency for new.—There is a constant and widespread interest
which advocates a cleaner and more sanitary currency. The sentiment is a laudable one and should be attainable, because the expense
is but a trifle as compared with the beneficent results. The Government can well afford to replace its paper issues when unfit for
circulation.
3. Increase ofthe 5 per cent hanlc-note redemption fund.—Experience
shows that the 5 per cent redemption fund is not adequate for the
purposes intended. For the greater part of the last fiscal year the
Treasury had to advance money for the redemption of bank notes
on the security of the notes themselves. As the notes are not obligations of the Treasury, the banks should be required to deposit a
greater amount to provide for current redemptions.
4. Restriction on amount of $5 hanlc notes.—It appears that national
banks located in commercial centers are not disposed to issue the full
amount of $5 notes authorized by law, whUe the Hanks located in the
interior or outlying sections of the country would largely increase the
amount of their $5 notes but for the limitation by statute. Therefore
it is believed that the repeal or modification of the provision limiting
1 Of which $650 was received and sent to the office of the Secretary for transfer, but was not placed in
the custody of the Treasurer until July 1, 1913.

the $5 notes to one-third in amount of the circulating notes of national
banks would be the means of increasing the amount of such notes in
circulation, and would accordingly reduce the demand upon the
Treasury for United States paper currency of small denominations.
5. Removing limit on weight of registered pacTcage.—It is believed that
the removal.of the limit on the weight of a package which may be sent
through the registered maU of the Unitea States would facilitate a
greater use of this method of transportation; and if followed by an
enactment that wUl authorize the transportation of paper currency
to and from the Treasury or between Treasury offices by registered
maU insured, it would be in the interest of economical administration.
Upon the termination of the administration of Hon.. Carmi. A.
Thompson, March 31, 1913, the duties of the office of Treasurer of
the United States devolved upon the present incumbent.
The transfer involved an examination of the moneys, securities,
and other evidences of value that came into the Treasurer's immediate
charge, amounting to $1,426,422,051.48§. The examination was concluded April 8, 1913, and th.e report of the cominittee in charge gave
the most satisfactory assurance that the funds transferred were absolutely correct and in agreement m t h the accounts.
This result is undoubtedly the best comment on the zeal and active
interest which the staff, chiefs of ciivisions, clerks of every grade, and
every person employed in the office have taken in the performance of
their responsible duties.
Respectfully,
JOHN BURKE,
Treasurer.
Hon. WILLIAM G . MCADOO,
Secretary ofthe Treasury.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE MINT.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
BUREAU OF THE MINT,
Washington, D. C, January 10,1914SIR: In compliance with the provisions of section 345, Eevised
Statutes of the United States, I am submitting herewith a report
covering the operations of the mints and assay offices of the United
States for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1913, being the forty-first
annual report of the Director of the Mint. I am also submitting for
publication in connection therewith the annual report of this bureau
upon the production and consumption of the precious metals in the
United States for the calendar year 1912.
MINT
SERVICE.
OPERATIONS' OF T H E M I N T S .
The three coinage mints at Philadelphia, Denver, and Sau Francisco were in operation during the fiscal year, and nine assay offices,
located at New York, Charlotte, New Orleans, Deadwood, Helena,
Seattle, Boise, Salt Lake City, and Carson.
The original deposits of gold at all of the offices of the Mint Service
during the year amounted to $161,131,878.30. The total coinage of
the year amounted to $37,496,529.70, of which $30,058,227.50 was
gold, $3,448,199.75 was silver, $2,861,768.55 was nickel, and
$1^28,333.90 was brcDnze.
The purchases of silver during the year amounted to 1,779,992.99
ounces, costing $1,086,347.87, at an average cost of 61 cents per ounce.
The seigniorage on subsidiary silver coins during the year aniounted
to $1,618,475.17, and the seigniorage on the minor coin amounted to
$3,548,520.03, all of which was duly accounted for and turned into
the Treasury.
The mint at Philadelphia during the year also coined 803,348
pieces of silver for the Government of Costa Kica, and the mint at
San Francisco coined 2,638,820 pieces of silver and 5,001,000 bronze
pieces for the Phihppine Islands government.
PHILADELPHIA MINT.
The Philadelphia Mint has been in operation throughout the year,
excepting the period required for the annual settlement. A new
minor coinage plant has been put into partial operation during the
year. Heretofore the minor com ingots nave been made of approximately the same size as the ingots of gold and silver and roUed in the
same mills. The new ingots are 23 inches long, 4J inches wide, and

three-fourths of an inch thick, and will be rolled in 16-inch miQs installed for this purpose. The capacity of the mint for minor coins
is greatly increased. Particulars are given elsewhere in this report.
Continuous, experiments with oil-burning furnaces have been under
way at this mint for the last two years, but the results have not been
entirely satisfactory. The increase in the price of gasohne duruig
the year has been so great that after a calculation of costs it was
found advantageous to go back to the use of illuminating gas for
melting purposes.
SAN FRANCISCO M I N T .
A change of superintendents has occurred at this mint since the
close of the fiscal year, Thaddeus W. H. Shanahan succeeding Mr.
Frank A. Leach. The latter origuially served between August, 1897,
and November, 1907, becoming Director of the Mint at the latter
date. Having resigned the latter position in 1909, he was reappointed
in August, 1912, as superintendent of the mint, to fiU the vacancy
caused by the death of Edward Sweeney.
A complete settlement of the accounts and count of funds was had,
which was completed November 12, 1913. In making the count,
vaults beheved to contain in the aggregate $61,395,000 m silver dollars, which had not been disturbed for more than 30 years, were
opened, the bags emptied, and the contents examined and weighed.
Five bags were found to have been, tampered with, 18 coins in all
having been abstracted and iron washers substituted therefor. This
pilfering was undoubtedly done at the time the coins were origuially
sacked, as the vaults have been continuously under seal. The
original sacking was done in 1880, 1881, and 1882-. Aside from these
discrepancies, all bulhon and moneys were accounted for and duly
delivered to the incoming, superintendent.
DENVER
MINT.
A change in superintendents at this institution has been made since
the close of the fiscal year, Thomas Annear succeeding Frank M.
Downer, who had held the position since September 3, 1902. Under
his administration, in 1906, the institution was reorganized from
simply -an assay office to a coinage mint. Upon settlement everything was found in order, and the bullion and coin charged to the
institution, amounting to $499,695,091.90, was turned over to the
incoming superintendent.
In the detailed report upon the operations of this mint wiU be
found an account of successful experiments in the re&iery by which
an important economy has been developed in the electrolytic process.
At the close of the fiscal year B. P . Wirth, who has been in charge of
this re&iery almost from the opening of the mint, was transferred
and promoted to the position of superintendent of the melting and
refining department ofthe New York assay office.
ASSAY OFFICE AT CHARLOTTE CLOSED.
The United States assay office at Charlotte,
finally on June 30, 1913, Congress having failed
for its support beyond t h a t date. Such pieces of

service and the remainder of the furniture and outfit was sold at
auction on the premises and the proceeds turned into the Treasury.
I n recent years the receipts of buUion at the Charlotte office have
been insufficient to warrant its contiauance, amounting in the last
fiscal year to only $29,428.30.
The Charlotte assay office was originally established as a coinage
mint in an act approved March, 3, 1835, which also established branch
mints at New Orleans, La., and Dahlonega, Ga. The mints at Charlotte and Dahlonega were designed to serve the gold-producing districts of the southern Appalachian region, which at that time comgrised the only gold-mmmg territory in the United States. New
Orleans was an important commercial port, and the mint there was
expected to operate upon foreign coin and bullion.
From 1804 to 1823 small deposits of native gold aggregating iri
three years $47,000 had been received at the Philadelphia Mint from
North Carolina. The receipts from this State gradually increased,
and in 1829 they amounted to $134,000, and there was also $2,500
from Virginia and $3,500 from South Carolina. I n 1830 Georgia
entered the list of gold-producing States with an output of $212,000,
and the yield of the four States aggregated $466,000. In 1831
Alabama and Tennessee each made a small showing and in 1834 tfie
southern Appalachian region made its best output, approximately
$900,000. i n the following year the act providing for the three new
branch mints was passed.
I n November, 1835, Levi Woodbury, Secretary of the Treasury,
was notified by Samuel McComb, who had been appointed to select a
site for the Charlotte branch, that he had purchased from William
Carson and F . L. Smith a full square containing near 4 acres of land
for $1,500.
Proposals for the erection of the builduig were advertised for in the
Charlotte Journal, Washington Globe, Richmond Inquirer, and the
North Carolina Standard. The contract was awarded to Perry &
Ligon, of Raleigh, N. C , on October 15,1835, at $29,800, to be completed January 1, 1837. The cost of the machinery, to be furnished
by the Director of the Mint at Philadelphia, was estimated at $15,000.
Coleman, Sellers & Sons, Philadelphia, furnished the steam engine,
shaft, etc., for $8,297, while Merrick, Agnew & Tyler furnished
coining presses, draw benches, etc., for $6,690. This equipment was
shipped to Charlotte in April, 1837. Considerable difficulty occurred
in transporting the heavy machinery to Charlotte, and the steam
engine was not set up untU the middle of August.
John H . Wheeler, of North Carolina, was appointed as the first superintendent. J. H. Gibbon and John R. Bolton, of Pennsylvania, were
appointed assayer and coiner, respectively. I n December, 1837, the
Secretary of the Treasury was adVised tnat the deposits of gold had
amounted to $130,600 and the coinage to $84,165. The dies for this
coinage were made at the PhUadelphia Mint, and in transmitting
them the Director of the Mint urged Col. Wheeler, the superintendent,
to hasten the coiaage, and mentioned that although the dies are dated
1838, there was no objection to using them in 1837. The reason
given for haste was that the equipment might be tested and particularly the operation of the coinage press by steam power, which
was regarded as in some degree experimental. The application of
304

steam power to coinage was first made in this country at the Philadelphia Mint in 1836.
On the night of July 27, 1844, it was nearly destroyed by fire,
which occurred in the coining room, and nearly consumed the entire
buUding. The machinery was seriously injured but the records being
stored iri the vault, were not injured. Mr. Caldwell, the superintendent, reported that evidently the fire was the work of a thief, as
his living apartments had been entered and articles stolen.
The present building was authorized by act of March 3, 1845, and
was completed a t a cost of $31,572.97, and occupied in 1846, and
used for coinage purposes until May 20, 1861, when North Carolina
entered the Confederacy and operations were suspended. The building was used duiing the Civil War as a Confederate hospital.

I n 1867 the assay office a t Charlotte was reestablished by act of
Congress dated March 19, and was maintained as such until the close
of the fiscal year 1913.
The mint a t Dahlonega was never reopened after the Civil War.
Coinage operations were resumed a t New Orleans after the war, b u t
were suspended and the coining niachinery removed in 1910.
ASiSAY OFFICE AT NEW YORK.
The New York assay office has handled more bullion and made
more assays during the past year than ever before, and the work has
been done under many difficulties, the chief of which have been due
to insufficient appropriations. The receipts of the office are steadily
increasing and the amount of jewelers^ gold and silver bars issued is
constantly increasing, all making more work. The closing of the
refinery in the Philadelphia Mint and opening of the new electrolytic
DIRECTOR OF T H E M I N T .

refinery in the New York office has greatly increased the expenses.
The earniags of the office from charges on bullion for treatment
and for the manufacture of bars have correspondingly increased, b u t
these earnings go directly into the Treasury and are not available
for the payment of expenses.
These earnings for the last three fiscal years were as follows:

1910-11
1911-12
1912-13
The total expenditures of this office for the fiscalyear 1913 were
$191,773.47, so that it does not fall far short of reimbursing the
Treasury for all expenditures in its behalf. As the larger part of the
receipts consists of refined gold, which under the law is almost free
from charges, the proportion of earnings to expenditures is very high.
I t is earnestly represented that the increased estimates submitted
for this office should be allowed in fuU.
The office is stUI crowded into the rear buUding intended to accommodate only the melting and refining departments. The rooms are
inadequate for the entire office force and are unsuitable for transactions with the public. I t is very much hoped that the new building
planned for the Wall Street front may be pushed forward for early
occupancy.
W E S T E R N ASSAY O F F I C E S .
The appropriations for the fiscal year 1914 for the assay offices
at Deadwood, Helena, Salt Lake City, Boise and Carson were finally
agreed to in conference between the two houses of Congress on the
morniag of March 4, 1913, after a protracted struggle between the
House of Representatives, favoring the abolition of these offices, and
the Senate, desiring to retain them. By the agreement the appropriations were cut below the cost of maintaining the offices on an
efficient basis, and the appropriation for the transportation of buUion
from the assay offices to the mints was cut far below the amount
required for this purpose if aU of these offices are to be kept open on
the usual terms. The department has had no alternative but to
cease receiving buUion at these offices, except upon the condition that
the buUion would be transported to the mints at the expense of the
depositors. This condition has been comphed with to some extent,
but the deposits at all of the minor offices have faUen off in consequence.
If these offices are to be maintained at all, the appropriations
should be sufficient for the employment of competent assayers and
helpers to safely and promptly care for the bullion. The assayers
are authorized to buy all of the gold bullion offered and to draw
checks on the Treasury of the United States in payment therefor.
This is an important responsibUity and should only be trusted with
men of technical abihty and substantial character. The estimates
submitted for the fiscal year 1914 are made upon the lowest possible
basis consistent with the proper administration of these offices.

EMPLOYEES AND EXPENDITURES OF THE MINT SERVICE, 1893-1913.
The number of employees in the entire mint service on the 1st day
of July, 1913, was less by 25 than on the 1st day of July, 1912. In
this connection it will be interesting to note that the number of
employees in the service is now considerably less than it was 20 years
ago, although more offices are maintained and the volume of business
is much larger. The number of persons on the pay roUs at each
institution in 1893, 1912, and in 1913 are given below:

The only faUing off shown by operations in 1913 from 1893 was in
the value of the gold coinage, which was due to the law of 1911,
aUowing gold bars to^ be carried in the certificate reserve. The number of pieces coined in 1913 was twice as many as in 1893, owing to
the increased demand for the smaU coins. I t should be added t h a t
in 1893 the one and five cent blanks were purchased of outside
manufacturers, while in 1913 aU coins were made in the mints complete from the ingots. I t should also be said t h a t the wage scale
averaged higher in 1913 than in 1893.
These results were due for the most part to the introduction of
improved equipment, much of it automatic machinery, and practically all of it developed within the mint service and buUt by the
mint mechanics.

their weight, fhieness, and value, in accordance with the provisions
of the act of Congress approved March 2, 1911, providing for the
issue of gold certificates against gold bullion and loreign gold coin,
were held at the several mints and the assay office at New York as

ESTIMATES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1915.
The total of estimates for the mint service for the fiscal year 1915,
including the bureau office in Washington, is $1,217,830, which
compares with estimates of $1,222,270 for the fiscal year 1914 and
appropriations for the latter year of $1,154,130.
As already stated above, the appropriations for the support of
several of the assay offices during the current year are too small to
allow of their being conducted in a proper manner. Either the
appropriations should be increased or the offices should be abolished.
In making comparison between appropriations since the fiscal year
1912 with appropriations for prior years it should be understood
that in former years the earnmgs from charges upon bullion were
directly available for use in payment of expenses, thus supplementing
the annual appropriations, while since 1912 all charges upon bullion
have been paid into the general fund of the Treasury as a miscellaneous
receipt. The charges during the fiscal year 1913, thus applicable
under former practice to current expenses, amounted to $356,079.24.
APPROPRIATIONS FOR 1913.
The amounts appropriated for.conducting the mint service during
the fiscal-year 1913 totaled $1,230,002.08, to which should be added
the reimbursements for work done for the Philippine and Costa
Rican Governments and for United States Government institutions,
amounting^ to $44,277.11; also unexpended balances of permanent
appropriations amounting to $13,353.35; this gives the total amount
"availaole for use during the fiscal year 1913, $1,287,632.54.
The expenditures from above funds (includuig the reimbursements
noted) total $1,171,964.39, to which a few minor unsettled bills may
be added.
The unexpended balance totals $120,372.10, from which should
be deducted deficiencies totaliag $4,703.95, giving net unexpended
balances of $115,668.15. Of the unexpended balances $12,700.13
(permanent appropriation balances) continues to be available until
used, and the remainder, $107,671.97, reverts to the surplus fund of
the Treasury.
The deficiencies occurred at the New York assay office and the
Denver Mint-and were occasioned, principally, by losses of precious
metals in refinery operations. In prior years such losses were paid
frofQ the earnings; but, beginning with the fiscal year 1913, are now
payable from our annual appropnations.

T H E STATE OF T H E NUMISMATIC COLLECTION.
Although for the fiscal year just past the numismatic coUection
has not had the usual smaU apj)ropriation for the purchase of historical coins and medals, yet the increase of the number of specimens
in the coUection has not faUen much short of the normal aggregate
of accessions in late years. And if the cost and historical value of
the couis acquired the past year be taken into consideration the
cabinet has fared unusually weU.
^ These favorable results in a year that opened so inauspiciously are
directly due to the action of the officials of the Treasury JDepartment
in placing with the cashier of the mint a considerable number of gold
coins which commanded a premium amo'ng coUectors. The most of
318
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
these pieces were disposed of and the premium received used for the purchase of coins and medals. A few of the eagles are stUlin hand. Persons interested in the welfare of the cabinet of coins, and there are many
who are interested in it, wiU feel grateful to the oflS.cials who made
this continued growth possible by a wise use of a number of coins
which eventu.aUy would have slowly dribbled into private possession
at face value.
A cause of no little, gratification has been the sale of the large
catalogue of the collection pubhshed in 1912. Numismatic pubhcations are of such narrow appeal that the sale of even the customary
small editions is generaUy very slow. The ready exhaustion, therefore, of the first edition of this unpretentious catalogue foUowed by
the sale of nearly all of the second edition is more than was expected.
There has been prepared during the past year a small guide book
for the coUection, a pamphlet of little more than a hundred pages.
This guide is sold at 10 cents. I t was prepared with a view of meeting
the demands of visitors as their desires have been ascertained by the
interest they manifested and the questions they asked. The guide
can be mailed for 2 cents postage.
MACHINE
SHOP.
In addition to the regular repairs and upkeep of the machinery and
appliances, the foUowing new work was done for this mint: 4 tumbhng
barrels of washing machine; 3 scrap cutters; metal work of 2 coinreviewing machines; 5 sets of old-style nickel molds; 1 six-foot balance for transfer weigh room; 2 twenty-five horsepower roUing miUs
changed to fifty horsepower; 1 six-inch lever shear; 4 beds and
punches for cutting 6 bronze planchets; 4 beds and punches for cutting 5 nickel planchets; 2 centrifugal coin-drying machines instaUed
in minor coinage plant; 8 coUars for dime coinage; 588 coUars for
nickel coinage; 103 coUars for bronze coinage; 4 sectional collars for
eagle coinage; and 2 sectional coUars for double-eagle coinage. There
are also 2 automatic weighing machines under construction in the
shop, about 50 per cent of the work on which is completed.
During the same period the following work was done in the shops
for the various mints and assay oflBices:
Mint of the United States at San Francisco, Cal.: Special screws for
automatic weighing machine; 30 coUars for nickel coinage; 10 coUars
for bronze coinage; 10 coUars for dime coinage; 5 coUars for haUeagle coinage; and 15 coUars for Philippine coinage.
Mint of the United States at Denver, Colo.: 12 coUars for bronze
coinage; 30 collars for nickel coinage; 1 set of double-eagle dressing
tools for mUhng machine; 25 center-knife edges and 50 end-knife
edges for automatic weighing machines; 20 beams complete for automatic weighing machines; 25 basket traps for automatic weighing
machines; 25 basket backs for automatic weighing machines; and 25
kickers for automatic weighing machines.
United States assay ofiice at New York, N. Y.: 1 bullion-clipping
machine; 1 pair of long couplings for vertical rolhng mill; 8 silver
disks for Smithsonian Institution; 30 silver disks for Geological Survey; and 22 silver disks for Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
DIRECTOR OF THE M I N T .

There have been designed and built 4 rotary baU-bearing turntables
and 44 ingot molds. The turntables are made up of 2 six-foot castiron disks. The bottom disk is the ball race, which carries 146 oneinch diameter hardened steel baUs. The top disk has a cone which
fits the bottom race. On the top disk are mounted 11 ingot molds
equally spaced on a four-foot six-inch circle in an upright position.
The molds will produce either a nickel or bronze ingot 24 inches long,
4i inches wide, three-quarters of an inch thick. The back half, or,
in other words, the plain part of the mold, is bolted fast to the table,
and the half that carries the ingot swings down to an angle of 45° on
two trunnion bearings which are bolted to the table. The locking
device for clamping the mold wliile the ingot is being poured is four
links connected to the stationary part of the mold with a loose bolt.
The other end of the hnk carries two eccentric pressure bars which
clamp on three lugs equaUy spaced on the mold. The one end of
each hnk carries an eccentric bushing which can be adjusted to take
up any expansion or contraction. This principle eliminates aU
handling and lifting of the mold.
Q
CARPENTER
SHOP.
Besides the general repairs and upkeep of the machinery and
appliances, the following work was done by the chief carpenter and
his assistants during the year:
The tar or mastic appUed to the roof to stop leaks would not
adhere to the glazed tiles and formed regular water pockets. This
was all removed, the roof painted and covered with painted mushn,
and the joints filled up with plastic cement, which proved very satisfactory. The same method was applied as new leaks appeared.
Eleven ventilating monitors were built on the northwest terrace
roof to give light and ventilation to the basement, in which the new
minor-coinage plant is installed. Three of these monitors, which
were crushed by falling stone when the building was struck by
lightning, were rebuilt.
The room on the second floor formerly occupied by the electrician
was fitted up as a telephone exchange. The partitions between this
and the counting room were fined with beaver board to deaden the
sound of the noise made by the counters, which proved very satisfactory. A new wardrobe for the operator was built.
The new minor-coinage plant was equipped with all necessary water
and acid tubs, vats, and tanks, 20 extra large copper-lined strip cars,
switchboards, etc.
Two new coin-reviewing machines were built and some very important improvements made bn them. The 'same improvements Were
made on the six older machines.

DIRECTOR OF T H E M I N T .
MELTING AND REFINING DEPARTMENT.
Dming the fiscal year^ 660 gold-ingot melts were made, making a
total charge to the melting pot of 2,066,745.994 fine ounces. There
was 1 melt condemned. Out of this quantity of bullion melted,
the loss found at settlement amounted to 26.421 fine ounces, or 1.27
p.er cent of legal allowance based on actual charge.
I t has been the custom here for years past to make gold-ingot melts
to the full capacity of the No. 70 crucible, which amounts to approximately 6,000 ounces gross of standard metal. We find, however, if
our basis of coinage metal is not electrolytic gold but uncurrent coin,
and fine gold lower in fiuaeness than 998, that, owing to impurities,
segregation troubles this department greatly on these large melts,
and great difficulty is experienced in getting an ingot melt of uniform
composition. In order not to reduce our melting capacity or increase
labor, we decided to melt the same amount of metal per pot, but stir
the charge twice, treating it as two melts. In other words, when full
pot is ready for dipping, use plunger 100 strokes and dip half out of
ot, giving this half a number; then again using plunger on second
alf 100 times and giving this second half of the melt a number. In
this way a smaller volume is expected to be uniform and is more
easily mixed, and results prove the benefit of this method in reducing
the ounces remeited.
In silver there were 325 melts made, none condemned, making a
total charge to melting pots of 1,013,263.95 fine ounces. Upon
settlement of the accounts of this department a gaia in silver of
355.46 ounces was found, which in no way removes the fact that a
loss of 87 ounces in melting was suffered.
During the fiscal year this department received from the superintendent bullion containing 1,993,067.302 fine ounces in gold, the
coinage value being $41,200,357.57. The silver contents of buUion
received contained 1,818,499.04 fine ounces, of the coinage value of
$2,513,909.14.

In treating the broken crucibles, burned out refractories, and
drosses from the minor coinage meltiag operations, the larger material is put through the crusher, then it is fed, together with the smaller
refuse, into the Ellspass mill and crushed in the wet way. The more
or less large pellets remaining upon the pan of the mUl are saved; the
resultiag fine material, or tailings, is thrown away.
The value of the metals saved by thus treatiag these waste materials was upward of $800. The cost to recover same ia labor, power,
and maintenance was not half this amount.
Since the refinery operations have been discontinued here and the
bulk of the old equipment sent to New York, we have found it greatly
to our advantage to separate the precious-metal operations from that
of the minor coiQage metals by using for gold and sUver nigot purposes
the furnaces left vacant by the closing of our refinery. These five
furnaces are connected to a settling chamber, and this room being far
removed from our regular melting room, and being of ample size,
gives convenient facilities for handliag this branch of ingot making
without any risk of contaminating the preQiQus metals.
DIRECTOR OF THE MINT.

The first instaUation of the new large molds on turntable for bronzeingot making has been put in successful' operation. This change
enables us to cast a melt of 3,200 ounces into ingots (24 b y 4|- by |
inches) in four minutes. I t is proposed that one turntable, holding 11
molds, will serve two furnaces, with two melters pouring together
and three men manipulating molds and ingots, as follows: Two
melters pour simultaneously, table then turned until next mold is in
position for filling; first helper opens up mold and releases ingot,
second helper picks up ingot, conveys it to pickling and coohng tanks,
while third helper removes pellets and slivers and greases, closes, and
clamps mold. As a heat can be taken off this way in 5 minutes, an
actual saving of 10 minutes is eft'ected on each melt, or 50 minutes
in a day^s work per furnace, which can be utilized toward getting
more metal melted. These ingots in bronze weigh 23 pounds, or
about six times what our small ingot weighs, making 10 to a heat, in
place of 60 of the smaller ingots. The filing is slightly heavier than
on tlie small ingots, but in linear measure is 40 feet, as against 120.
The topping is done on heavy shears made in mint machine shop and
placed in position on melting-room fioor this fiscal year. This large
shearing machine is a valuable acquisition, for it is no little trouble
to top the large ingots and shear copper bars and zinc slabs to any size
desired. Four such turntables are soon to be put in place on meltingroom fioor; these will serve the present coinage requirements for large
ingots.
This department has been on the lookout for an oil-burning furnace for the past two years, and this fiscal year tested four dift'erent
makes, with a view of recommending the equipment that together
showed low fuel cost per 1,000 pounds of metal melted with practical and suitable furnace details for our special requirements. The
results of our tests showed a wide variation in fuel consumption,
running from $4.77 per 1,000 pounds of cupro nickel melted up to
$10. This is based on oil at 9 cents per gallon, an extremely high,
price, b u t the cost to us at this time in 6-barrel lots.
The furnace showing lowest oil consumption per 1,000 pounds of
metal melted was of the pit type, and upon our melting-room floor
stood too high and rendered dipping extremely difficult. Not one
of these furnaces fulfilled our requirements, and up to date no recommendation has been made. A modified furnace is still awaiting a
test, which we hope to run as soon as a little let-up can be indulged
in. I n the meantime, due to poor and inconstant results with our
present furnaces on account of high price and low quality gasoline,
we made some tests using city gas as fuel. We found that our
present furnaces with but little alteration could be adapted to this
illuminating-gas fuel, and by using same show a saving over gasoline
fuel and secure uniform melting periods for our dift'erent metals,
which constancy and -convenience appealed so strongly to us as to
warrant a recommendation that city gas fuel be used. This recommendation being approved, we are now in the position of being promised a fuel entirely satisfactory, in so far as convenience, sufficient
heat units, and suitability for our melting-room requirements are
concerned. On the other hand, oil fuel is cheaper, though the life
of furnace parts is shorter and punishment to melters much greater;
how much cheaper, and if better, when everything is considered, we
hope to determine next year,.

ard ounces of 1-cent pieces, of the face value of $132,700, or 13,327,000
pieces, upon which there was a wastage of 874.35 standard ounces of
the value of $10.23, being 29.74 per cent of the legal allowance as
allowed on silver. There was returned to the superintendent prior
to the coiner's settlement August 23, 1912, 1,058,085.50 standard
ounces in clippings, condemned coin, and blanks, and there was delivered in settlement 673,047.70 standard ounces in ingots, strips,
and condemned coin. The percentage of coin produced to the amount
of metal operated upon was 45c21.
In addition to tbe gold and sUver received for coinage, the coiner
received from the supermtendent 294.422 standard ounces oi fine
gold for medals, of which 47.999 standard ounces were used in the
manufacture of medals. This amount and 167.147 standard ounces
in clippings were dehvered to the superintendent prior to settlement,
and 78.970 standard ounces were delivered at settlement. The
coiner also received from the superintendent during the same period
873.27 standard ounces of fine silver. Of this amount 301.77 standard ounces were used in the manufacture of medals, which, with
305.04 standard ounces in clippings, were delivered to the superintendent prior to settlement and 266.41 standard ounces delivered at
settlement. The slight loss in gold and silver is included in the
wastage in the manufacture of gold and silver coin.
The gold, silver, a,nd minor coinage for this period of the fiscal
year, July 1, 1912, to August 23, 1912, amounted to $4,583,700, or

IMPROVEMJENTS.
Reference has aheady been made in last year's report to the minorcoin plant. I t was well under way at that timCc I t has since been
completed and is now in operation.
DIRECTOR OF THE MINT.

Two large 16-inch rolls are breaking down and finishing bronze
and nickel. The ingots used are 23 mches long, 4J inches wide,
and three-fourths of an inch thick. A copper ingot wUl produce
2,200 blanks and the nickel ingot about 1,500 blanks. Two cutting
presses, each running 170 revolutions per minute, are used in cutting
bronze and nickel blanks. When cutting these blanks six pieces of
the former and five of the latter are punched at each stroke, making
respectively 1,020 and 850 pieces per minute. Up-to-date cleaning
and annealing machinery, consistmg of rotary annealing furnaces,
tumbling barrels, and centrifugal. dryers prepare the blanks for
stamping. In addition to the rotary annealing furnaces two strip
annealing furnaces have been added and gas is used to operate these
furnaces. The object of this plant is to keep the workings of the
base metal isolated ^s much as possible from those of the precious
metals and also to turn out the minor coin more rapidly and at less
expense. Owing to the increasing demand for minor coin we wUl be
compelled to enlarge this plant in the near future by installing two
additional rolls and more cutting presses. At times we could use
the rolls in our regular rolling room, when not working on gold or
sUver, but to do so when working the precious metals would be
defeating the principal object for which this minor-coin plant was
created.
During the past year we have made and placed in operation two
reviewing machines simUar to those now in use for reviewing coined
money. These machines, being much faster and more accurate,
wUl replace the old-style selecting tables.
The only annoying feature we had to contend with during the past
year was a very inferior quality and irregular fiow of gas for annealing.
This appears to have been due to a low grade of naphtha and a mucm
heavier tax on the gas plant. The trouble has been overcome by
installing city gas. We find that, owing to the increased price in
gasoline, we can buy city gas cheaper than we can make our own
supply.
At present the workings are equally balanced, having sufficient
facUities for operating the product of one department with the other
without any delay or annoyance. I t wUl be our aim to keep up this
well-balanced system, thereby reducing the cost of production to
the lowest figure.
All gold and silver now used in the operation of coinage is calculated
at 1,000 fine instead of 900 standard as heretofore. The figures in
the above report from August 23, 1912, are 1,000 fine ounces.
The only blanks now adjusted are the double eagle and eagle; all
other denominations, except dunes and the minor coin, are weighted
after coinage. Five automatic weighing machines are doing this
work.
Our system for keeping the daUy records of the metal in operation,
recently introduced, is giving entire satisfaction. A tabulated
statement of the metal passing from one department to the other
during the day is kept. This shows the amount of finished and
unfinished metal, together with the wastage or loss at the close of
each day's workings.

MINT OF THE UNITED
S T A T E S AT
DENVER.
This miat was in operation during the entire fiscal year, the coinage being of the denominations of double eagles, half doUars, nickels,
and bronze cents.
The particulars as to bullion deposits and coinage will be found in
tables numbered 1 and 3, and in the general coinage statement, numbered 22.
IMPORTANT R E F I N E R Y
CHANGE.
In the spring of 1913 there was installed in the refinery of this institution a novel special induction potential regulator, embodying
the ideas of the foreman of the refinery, Mr. B. JP. Wirth, who was
seconded in perfecting his plans by Mr. White, chief electrician of
the mint. The new equipment consists of the foUowing items:
One special induction potential regulator, single-phase, 60-cycle, oil-immersed
primary 2,200, secondary potential 36-volt, maximum secondary current 1,300 amperes,
complete, with all necessary oil.
One complete switchboard panel, including wiring, having mounted thereon the
following:
One single-phase, 60-cycle, 2-wire watt-hour meter to read direct the current
, used through the above induction regulator.
One 2,000 to 100 volt potential transformer.^
One 2,000-volt series transformer, proper ratio.
One Type II automatic oil circuit breaker with inverse Mme-limit attachment.
One low-tension switchboard on which are mounted the following:
One voltmeter, maximum scale 30 volts.
One ammeter, scale 1,500 amperes.
One series transformer, ratio 1,500 to 5.
One double-pole, single-throw, l,600-amper3 time switch.
One electrolytic lightning arrester, 2,200 volts, single-phase, 60-cycle, complete,
with oil, electrolyte, and horn gaps, for outdoor mounting.
The cost of the above, delivered at the mint, was $1,374.
About the middle of March the general use of the pulsating current
in the gold ceUs in the refinery was Qommenced, The alternating
336
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
current is delivered through a 39-kilowatt induction regulator^ with
200 volts on the primary circuit, and a capacity of 36 volts, 1,300
amperes, on the secondary circuit. A direct-current voltage of 1.2
per cell and an alternating-current voltage (maximum) of 1.8 per cell
is used; current density, 65 amperes per square foot. The electrolyte contains 60 grams of gold per liter, and from 4 to 7 per cent
hydrochloric acid; temperature, 65° C.
NOTABLE
BENEFITS.
The benefits of this new system, as applied to the character of
buUion received at this mint, can be best shown by a comparison with
the operations under the former, or direct-current, system. The
refinery has been in operation (in this fiscal year) since October 1,
1912, a period of seven months; the months of October, November,
and December, 1912, and January and February, 1913 (which shall
hereafter be referred to as the ^^five months^ 0? the refinery operated
under the old system. I n March the change was made, and in that
month the refinery was operated under both systems, and in April
the new system was used exclusively; so, in making comparisons,
the month of March will be omitted and the first five months under
the direct-current system used, and the average of those months
compared with the month of April under the pulsating-current
system.
Under the old method there could not be ^'made up^' many gold
anode melts, because there was not received enough high-grade bullion to permit it; so, in October, after four months^ shutdown of the
refinery, 25 were made; in November, 9; in December, 12; in January,
10; and in February, 7; total for the five months, 63 melts, weighing
387,333.32 ounces; while in April, without any change in the character
of the deposits, under the new system 44 gold anode melts were
made, weighing 236,778.77 ounces, and many more could have been
made had they been needed.
During the ^^five months'' the gold anodes amounted to 18.6 per
cent of the total amount of bullion operated upon in the refinery,
whUe during the month of AprU the gold anodes comprised 58.5
per cent of the total operated upon. The radical dift'erence is due
to the reduced necessary fineness of the gold anodes.
In the ^^five months'' there were produced 731,669.949 ounces of
fine gold an,d recovered from the slimes (and scrap gold contained
therein) 125,821.3 fine ounces; that is, the gold in the slimes equaled
in amount 17.19 per cent of the fine gold deposited on the cathodes.
In the month of AprU there were produced 224,161.16 ounces of fme
gold and recovered from the slimes (and scrap gold therein) 25,496.89
ounces of fine gold, so t h a t in this month the gold recovered from the
slimes equaled m amount 11.37 per cent of the gold deposited on the
cathodes, and the average fineness of the fine gold under each system
was 0.9995 plus.
Further, m the ^^five m o n t h s " acids were used as follows: Hydrochloric, 28,184 pounds, and nitric, 28,023 pounds, an average per
month, respectively, of 5,637 and 5,605 pounds. In AprU, 12,954
pounds of hydrochloric acid were used, an increase above the average
of 7;317 pounds, costing $109.75, and 1,041 pounds of nitric acid; a
DIRECTOR OF THE MINT.
337
decrease below the average of 4,564 pounds, which would have cost
$422.17, thus making a net saving in acid for AprU of $312.42.
Further, the cost of operating the refinery for the ^^five m o n t h s "
was $23,332.94 (including in each month $414.41 as one-ninth shutdown cost), beiag an average of $4,665.58, and the cost for AprU
(including said $414.41) was $4,478.38.
Further, the production of fine gold for the ^^five m o n t h s " was
731,669.949 ounces, an average of 146,333.989 ounces per month, and
the production of fine gold in AprU was 224,161.16 ounces, being an
increase over the average of said ^^five m o n t h s " of 53 per cent.
Further, m the ^^five months" there were sent to the refinery 244
sUver anode melts, weighiag 1,319,761.9 ounces, an average per
month of 263,952.38 ounces, and in the month of AprU there were
sent 20 sUver anode melts, weighing 104,047.6 ounces; and in the
^^five m o n t h s " there were used 139,718.97 ounces of mint fine sUver
bars in making up the said sUver anode melts, which were absolutely
necessary on account of the comparatively small amount of sUver
deposits received at this mint. However, in AprU, no mint fine
sUver was used, and also one-half of the sUver cells were cut out of
operation.
LOWER GRADES BULLION DIRECTLY THROUGH GOLD CELLS.
The most important benefit derived from the operation of this new
regulator and transformer lies in the fact that it is possible to treat
directly through the gold cells bullion of a much less fineness in gold
than it was possible to so treat with the direct current only. Formerly
bullion of a less fineness than 900 could not be successfully treated
in the gold cells, whUe the regular bullion, running as low as 800 parts
gold, is successfully treated. This table exhibits the fineness of all
of the bullion received at this mstitution, including both the deposits
and redeposits, for the months of January, February, and March, 1913,
as follows:
Below 700

24,611.66

From an examination of this table it wUl be readily seen t h a t a
large percentage of the bullion received at this institution runs less
than 900 in gold; in fact, 83 per cent of it runs less than that figure,
and but 17 per cent 900 or more.
The number of sUver cells in operation in the refinery have been
reduced one-half. Heretofore it has been necessary to rely very
largely on the output of the sUver cells for bullion of a proper fineness
in gold to use in the gold cells. The number of sUver cells now in
operation wUl just about take care of receipts of bullion that must
necessarUy be put through tha,t system. I t wUl also be noted that
it is no longer necessary to re-treat mint fine silver in the sUver ceUs,
as was formerly the case.

Average cost per assay was SO.237.
The deposit samples came from 11,258 melts of gold and 2,237
melts of sUver, the refinery samples from 344 melts of fine gold, 594
melts of fine sUver, gold and silver anodes, sweeps, and other refinery
assays, and the specials from 665 deposits of small samples for the
determination of gold and sUver fineness. Many of these specials
were articles of jewelry and manufacturer's samples, some of them
being used for the enforcement of the law relating to the manufacture
and sale of jewelry, etc., marked with karat fineness. Others were
samples from the Mint Bureau, and there were also many made in a
careiul investigation of the relative accuracy of humid .assays for
sUver in gold buUion by cadmium-sodium chloride and cadmiumsulpho cyanate^ methods, the results of which were embodied in
reports to the Director of the Mint.
The refinery operations this year, including metal that had accumulated during the suspension of refining, resulted in sweeps containing
noticeable amounts of platinum, and the platinum contained was
therefore reported, thus decreasing the usual losses in the sale of
sweeps.
The large amount of current work (the gold deposits being greater
in number than in any previous year) required the constant effort of
the force to complete with promptness and accuracy, but special
attention has been given to the correct determination of sUver in gold
bullion by humid assay and to the assay of fine gold from the refinery
and in deposits made into certificate bars.
About 95,000 cupels were made, and the sUver disks used in aUoying
the assays for parting were roUed and cut in the department. The
fine gold, fine sUver, and standard bars made were all stamped with
the assay fineness.
The number of officers and employees at this assay office at the
close of the fiscal year was as follows:

Besides the coins tabulated above, two coins from the Philadelphia
Mint on repeated assays showed wide variations, but within the limits
above stated, in the composition of the metal within the coin. Twenty
additional assays were made on this lot. There were also examined
32 Philippine silver coins from the San Francisco Mint, which were
found to be within the legal requirements as to weight and fineness.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE ASSAY COMMISSION, 1913.
The following-named gentlemen were designated as commissioners
to test and examine the weight and fineness of the coins reserved at
the several mints during the calendar year 1912 pursuant to the provisions of section 3547 of the Revised Statutes:
Dr. R. C. Benner, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Mr. Judson Brenner, De Kalb,
IU.; Hon. Theo. Davidson, Asheville, N . C ; Mr. George M. Eckels,
Chicago, 111.; Mr. L. A. Fischer, Bureau of Standards, Washington,

Mr. George Vaux, jr., Bryn Mawr, P a . ; Col. Richard J. Woods, Sioux
Falls, S. Dak.; Mr. Addison B. Colvin, Glens Falls, N . Y.
The commission met at the mint at Philadelphia on February 12,
1913, and Hon. James H . Manning was elected chairman.
The following committees were appointed by the chairman with the
approval of the commission:
Committee on counting.—Mr. Hazeltine, chairman; Messrs. Eckels,
Gibson, J. W. Smith, Starr, and Fitzpatrick.
Committee on weighing.—Mr. Fischer, chairman; Messrs. Brenner
and Vaux.

DIRECTOR OF THE M I N T .
Committee on assaying.—Dr. Shinn, chairman; Messrs. Comings,
Davidson, A. L. Smith, and Swasey.
The committee on counting reported that the packages containing
the pieces reserved by the several mints for the trial of coins were
delivered to them, and that they were compared with the transcripts
kept by the Director of the Mint and found to°be correct. After
verification the coins were delivered to the committees on weighing
and assaying.
The coins reserved by the mints for the purposes of the assay commission were as follows:

The committee on weighing reported that the working standards
of the mint were compared with the standards in the possession of
the mint which were certified to by the Bureau of Standards, test
No. 9502, September 15, 1911. The 10-ounce and the 20-ounce
weights were found to be correct to within 1 part in 250,000; the
30-ounce and 40-ounce weights were found to be correct to within
1 part in 150,000. The other weights, bothlarger and smaUer, were
all found to be correct to within 1 part in 100,000. The peso, 50centavo, 20-centavo, and 10-centavo weights used in testing the
Philippine coins were tested by comparison with the standards of
the mint which had been verified by the Bureau of Standards, and
the deviations from the statutory standard weights of the coins examined were aU within the legal limit of tolerance.
The committee on assaying reported receivuig and making assays
of coins reserved from the mints at PhUadelphia, San Francisco, and
Denver, representing the deliveries made by the coiners to the superintendents during the calendar year 1912.
The highest assay value of the gold coinage at the different mints

The committee also tested the quartation sUver and found it free
from gold, and the lead used in the assay of the gold buUion and
found it free from gold and silver. The acid used in the humid
assay of silver was found to be free from silver and also from chlorine.
The balances used were tested and found to be correct.
The committee therefore deem the assays exhibited in the accompanying schedules to be entirely trustworthy.
COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. Eckels, chairman, submitted the report of the committee on
resolutions, which was unanimously adopted, as foUows:
Whereas the interest i n t h e national coin collection in the m i n t at Philadelphia is
rapidly increasing because of its educational and historical value; and
Whereas t h e collection is annually visited by thousands who are anxious to secure a
souvenir of t h e m i n t ; and
Whereas i n t h e near future t h e United States will consummate one of the greatest
engineering projects of the world's history in completing the canal across the Isthmus
of Panama: Now, therefore be i t
Resolved, First. That the annual assay commission of 1913 hereby renews the recommendations of. prior commissions with reference to the maintenance and increase
of the national coin collection <at the Philadelphia Mint.
Second. T h a t t h e commission recommends t h a t an official souvenir m i n t medal of
typical and characteristic design be struck, to be sold at a moderate price, and that the
proceeds from such sales be devoted exclusively to the extension of the collection
under the supervision of the Secretary of the Treasury.
Third. T h a t t h e commission further recommends t h a t a suitable medal be struck to
commemorate t h e opening of the Panama Canal. Be i t further
Resolved, That t h e thanks of the commission be heartily tendered to Hon. George
E . Roberts, Director of the Mint, Mr. J. W. Sheetz, and to the yarious officials and
employees of the m i n t for^heir uniform courtesies extended during the session,
