FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES HAYING A
POPULATION OF OVER 100,000 : 1936

INTRODUCTION
SCOPE OP REPORT.— The present report of the Bureau of the Census Is practi­
cally limited to a presentation of statistics of the financial transactions
during the fiscal year 1936 of the 94 cities, each of which had a population of
over 100,000, as enumerated Dy the Pederal census of April 1, 1930, and of the
financial condition of those cities at the close of the fiscal year reported.
The report also presents financial data relating to the city and county of
Honolulu, Hawaii.
The x"eport includes the financial transactions of all local, municipal gov­
ernments, regardless of the number of legally independent political subdivisions
and types of administrative organization locally established to levy taxes, in­
cur debt, and perform the functions of government.
The statistics, therefore,
cover the government of the city corporation proper and also Independent school
districts, sanitary districts, and other Independent districts practically co­
extensive with the cities, and also include a percentage of the financial sta­
tistics of the county governments for cities having over 300,000 population.
The report for each city or other Independent district covers the financial
transactions of all public funds,whether they are general, or current operating
funds, special revenue funds, working capital funds, special assessment funds,
bona funds,sinking funds,public trust and p'rivate trust funds,Investment funds,
and public utility funds; and whether they are recorded by the chief finance
officer or by other agencies.
Dependent upon the nature of the transactions, receipts may be reported as
revenue or n o n r e v e n u e a n d payments as governmental-cost or nongovernmentalcost. Each of these types of transactions is defined in the text discussion of
table 2, p. 4.
The statistics are as accurate and as comparable as it has been feasible to
compile from the records of the cities and other local subdivisions, and relate
to a number of subjects,the principal of which are (1) the total and per capita
receipts from revenues and from the principal classes thereof; (2) the total
and per capita payments for expenses,or operation and maintenance,and interest,
and total outlays, and totals for each of the principal classes of expenses and
outlays; (3) the total value of specified assets; (4) the total and per capita
municipal Indebtedness;and (5) the total assessed valuation of property subject
to the general property tax, and total and per capita levies.
This series of reports included through 1931 all cities having a population
of over 30,000. By Executive Order dated June 10, 1933, the annual collection
and compilation was limited to cities of over 100,000.
CITIES HAVING A POPULATION OP OVER 100,000 IN 1930.— In the tables of this
report, with the exception of table 25, the cities are arranged in the order of
their estimated population, and each is given a number corresponding to its po­
sition in the table. For convenience In finding the position in the table of
the data for each of the cities, there is shown on p. 2 a list of the cities
arranged alphabetically by States, with the number assigned to each. The type
or plan of city government effective In 1936 also is Indicrated. The location of
each of these cities Is shown on the map of the United States on page VI.

PURPOSE OF REPORT.— The purpose of the reports of this series is to provide
information in regard to the financial administration of the cities, in such
form as to be comparable, with the hope that it may be of assistance to the of­
ficials who are charged with responsibilities incident to the administration of
local government and the betterment of the communities; directly, through per­
sonal study of the reports, and, indirectly, through the interpretations and
recommendations of practical students of civic affairs and of local civic
bodies.




DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY

3

The 94 cities of this class are responsible for the protection of the lives,
property, and health of their own inhabitants, constituting almost one-third of
the population of the Nation, and of many millions of persons who visit them,
as well as for providing educational and recreational services, caring for the
indigent, defective, and delinquent classes, and providing a constantly growing
number of conveniences and services which are demanded by associations in­
terested in the betterment of the several urban communities, including in many
communities the conduct of public-service enterprises.
To assure the maximum of comparability of the statistics, the Bureau has
compiled the data for each city according to uniform classifications of re­
ceipts, expenditures, and Indebtedness, so far as possible.
In reporting the
statistics for any city, therefore, extensive reclassification of data in the
city’s records may be necessary.
For this reason, it is not possible in all
cases to identify in the Bureau’s publication the various Items appearing in
the city’s report.
During 1936, the unit of government administering certain local services
and maintaining the records of receipts and expenditures thereof, such as wel­
fare outdoor relief, varied among the cities.
If administered by Federal or
State agencies, the figures are not Included in this report.,which is limited to
the official records of cities and overlying Independent local units. The dif­
fering practice resulted in a wide variation in the statistics of receipts and
payments for these services among the cities, which should be recognized in us­
ing the figures for comparisons.

DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES
NUMBER AND CHARACTER OF GENERAL TABLES.— The statistics of the 94 cities
covered by this report are presented In 25 general tables. Table 1 gives cer­
tain statistics relating to population and area.
Table 2 summarizes all re­
ceipts, payments, and cash balances by divisions of government. Tables 3 and 4
summarize the revenue receipts and governmental-cost payments by divisions of
the city government, and make certain comparisons between those receipts and
payments.
Table 5 presents the per capita averages, and table 6 the percent
distribution, of the receipts and payments shown in tables 3 and 4.
Tables 7
to 11, Inclusive, present detailed statistics relating to revenue receipts.
Tables 12, 15, 16, and 17 give detailed statistics for governmental-cost pay­
ments.
Table 13 summarizes certain groups of these payments and presents per
capita averages therefor, and table 14 gives the percent distribution of these
payments.
Tables 18 and 19 present details of nonrevenue receipts and nongovernmental- cost payments. Tables 20 and 21 set forth certain assets of cities
and the value of their permanent properties.
Tables 22, 23, and 24 relate to
municipal Indebtedness. Table 25 presents statistics of the assessed valuation
of property subject to taxation and the amounts and rates of tax levies.
GROUPS OF CITIES.— The statistical data presented in this report are ar­
ranged in three principal groups, for each of which, as well as for the entire
94 cities, totals are given.
Group I includes cities having a population of
500,000 and over; group II, cities having a population of 300,000 and less than
500,000; and group III, cities having a population of 100,000 and less than
300,000. The grouping is based upon the estimated population of the city as at
July 1, 1933, no later estimates having been made, except for Washington, D. C.
Data for the city and county of Honolulu are not included in the group or grand
totals of the 94 cities.
The financial statistics of each city include, in addition to the figures
of the city corporation, the data of all independent local governmental units
which are practically coextensive with the city; they Include also, for the 18
"county cities’1 in groups I and II, a proportion of the independent county gov­
ernments. A list of these "county cities” is given on p. 5.

FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES
TABLE 1

YEAR OP INCORPORATION AS A CITY.— In the column under the heading "year of
Incorporation as a city" are given for 94 municipalities covered by the report
the years in which they were organized as cities.
DATE OP CLOSE OP FISCAL YEAR.— The date shown is the close of the fiscal
year of the general treasury of the city corporation, even though Independent
governmental districts or Independently administered funds may have fiscal years
which do not coincide with that of the city’s general treasury.
POPULATION.— Except as indicated by footnotes,the table shows for each city
the estimated population as at July 1, 1933.
The estimates shown in the table
were computed as follows: The estimated Increase for the United States from the
1930 census to July 1, 1933,was computed from statistics of births, deaths, im­
migration and emigration.
The increase during this period, which amounted to
2,995,000 inhabitants, was distributed among the States and cities on the basis
of their proportion of the Increase for the United States between 1920 and 1930.
Due allowance Is made for any annexations or detachments of territory that may
have taken place and of which the Bureau has been advised.
In separate columns is shown the population of each city as enumerated at
the decennial censuses of 1930, 1920, and 1910.
AREA.— The last column of the table shows, for each city,the land area sub­
ject to the administration of the city corporation on July 1, 1936.
TABLE 2
DATE OF CLOSE OF FISCAL YEAR.— In this column are shown the date of the
close of the fiscal year of the general treasury of the city corporation and
that of the fiscal year of the general treasury of each Independent unit of
government for which financial data are included.
PERCENT OF INDEPENDENT DIVISIONS INCLUDED.— The second column Indicates for
each independent, overlapping governmental unit the percent of its transactions
which has been included in the report,the percent In each case being based upon
the ratio between the taxable valuation of the city and that of the entire
district.
RECEIPTS, PAYMENTS, AND CASH BALANCES.— Table 2 presents for the municipal­
ities a summary of their receipts classified as revenue and nonrevenue and of
their payments classified as governmental-cost and nongovernmental-cost. In the
column for receipts headed "Revenue" are summarized all amounts that are shown
by the local government records as having been received on revenue account.
They represent amounts of moneys or other wealth received by or placed to the
credit of the local units for governmental purposes under such conditions that
they Increase the assets without increasing the debt liabilities or decrease
the debt liabilities without decreasing the assets.
In the second column for
receipts are summarized all other receipts under the heading "Nonrevenue." The
latter amounts are included in local accounts and must be set up to secure a
complete statement, although they do not result in an Increase of the net value
of municipal assets.
In the column for payments headed "Governmental-cost" are summarized all
amounts recorded in the books of the local divisions of government as having
been paid on account of operation and maintenance,interest,and capital outlays.
In the second column for payments are summarized all other payments under the
heading "Nongovernmental-cost." The latter payments do not result In a decrease
in the net value of municipal assets.




DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY

5

The revenue receipts and governmental-cost payments here summarized are
given In detail in tables 3 through 17. Details of nonrevenue receipts and nongovernmental-cost payments are shown in tables 18 and 19, respectively.
DIVISIONS OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.— The wide diversity of .organization of
municipal government is indicated by the number of Independent units employed
to perform the functions and services of local government. In all cases there
is the city corporation, which is charged with the administration of all munic­
ipal functions except those entrusted to Independent districts created to pro­
vide specific services for the community, the extent of authority in each case
being determined by statute or charter enactments. For 32 municipalities the
city corporation was the only local governmental unit,while In the other 62 the
functions of local government were carried on by two or more governments as in­
dependent units, each having the power of taxation,for the purpose for which it
was constituted, over all or part of the territory of the city.
The term "county" appears as the designation of independent governmental
units in 18 of the cities of groups I and II, as follows: Chicago, Detroit, Los
Angeles, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Buffalo, Minneapolis, Cincinnati,
Newark, Kansas City, Mo.,Seattle, Indianapolis, Rochester,Jersey City, Houston,
Louisville,and Portland, Oreg. The data shown for these units include percent­
ages of the entire data for the county government,the percent being determined,
as in the case of other Independent units, by the ratio between the assessed
valuation of the city and that of the entire county. This procedure was adopted
by the Bureau because in eight of the cities of these groups, viz, New York,
Philadelphia, St. Louis, Baltimore, Boston, San Francisco, Washington, and New
Orleans,the original county organization has been merged with that of the city.
The addition of the county figures,therefore, places the cities of groups 1 and
II on a more nearly comparable basis than would be secured without the county
figures. The data for cities of these two groups, however, are not comparable
with those for cities of group III, with the exception of those for Denver, a
municipality in which the county organization is merged with that of the city,
and the autonomous cities of Richmond and Norfolk, Va.
SPECIAL TABLES FOR COUNTY CITIES.— In text tables I, II, III, and IV, which
follow, there is a presentation of revenue receipts, payments for operation and
maintenance and outlays of general departments, and gross and net debt for the
18 cities which include a percentage of county data.
These tables show on a
separate line the total and per capita figures for the county.
The total and per capita amounts shown on the line "All other" include
those for the government of the city corporation proper, for school, sanitary,
park, and other independent districts practically coextensive with the cities,
and are comparable with the data presented for cities in group III in the cor­
responding general tables.

TABLE 3
REVENUE RECEIPTS.— Table 3 is designed to present the revenue receipts for
each of the 94 municipalities,and for each Independent governmental body organ­
ized for the purpose of supplying services to these local communities. The
governmental units of each city, which have power to levy and collect taxes and
to incur Indebtedness, are shown under the heading "City, and divisions of
municipal government.” When the city corporation is the only governmental unit
having such power, only one line is devoted to the city, the data of all funds
and accounts of the city,whether under the accounting control of the auditor or
comptroller or not, being shown on that line. The data for additional govern­
mental units are shown on the line of the descriptive title of the unit.
"Revenue receipts’* is defined in the text discussion of table 2, p. 4, while
the significance of the terms employed in table 3 as designations of the sever­
al sources of revenue receipts is set forth in the paragraphs which follow.
GENERAL PROPERTY TAXES.— The general property tax is the common designation
of the direct tax upon real property and upon other property when it is appor­
tioned and levied by substantially the same methods as those employed in appor­
tioning and levying taxes upon privately owned real property.
SPECIAL TAXES.— Special taxes are direct taxes which are assessed, levied,
and .collected by methods that are not generally applied to the case of private­
ly owned real property. They include taxes upon the property of corporations
levied upon the basis of the amount of corporate stock, corporate indebtedness,
or of both corporate stock and indebtedness, or on any basis’ other than an as­
sessed valuation applied to all property of the corporation; taxes upon savings
banks and kindred corporations, which are levied in proportion to a certain
specified portion of the deposits, as their excess above the value of specified
investments; and taxes upon life-insurance corporations assessed upon the valu­
ations of their policies.
Special taxes also include all taxes levied upon
mortgages at the time of their execution or entry of public record; inheritance
taxes and taxes on Incomes; taxes on investments, bonds and notes for specified
periods of time, and on corporation bonds held by residents and all specific
taxes upon property, as taxes upon land at a specified amount per acre, taxes
upon horses, mules, and other animals at a specified amount per head, taxes on
vessels at a specified amount per registered ton, and taxes upon grain at a
specified amount per bushel.
POLL TAXES.— Under the term "Poll taxes” are Included all per capita taxes,
uniform or graded, whether such taxes are levied as specific amounts against
the persons subject thereto or as ad valorem taxes based upon an arbitrary
valuation of polls or occupation.
BUSINESS AND NONBUSINESS LICENSE TAXES.— Business taxes are taxes upon
business and business activities,exacted,with or without the issue of licenses,
from persons natural and corporate in proportion to the volume of their busi­
ness, or by reason of the business in which they are engaged. These taxes are
divided primarily into liquor and other business licenses.
Nonbusiness license taxes are taxes other than upon business that are ex­
acted primarily for purposes of regulation,and are collected in connection with
the Issues of so-called licenses or permits, and. are always levied with refer­
ence to measurable or assumed measurable benefits conferred upon or enjoyed by
the licensee. They include (1) license taxes on dogs,collected from the owners
in connection with the issue of licenses or permits to keep such animals for a
specified time; (2) general license taxes,or licenses for nonbusiness purposes,
such as licenses to use motor and other vehicles, where the license is not re­
quired because of any specific business in which they are to be used; and (3)
receipts from departmental permits, other than those issued by public-servlce
enterprises, such as marriage licenses, building permits, and permits to make
sewer connections and to dig in the streets.




18

FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES

The term "general license taxes’1 Is used to designate the taxes exacted
with the granting of all licenses under general statutes or ordinances, other
than dog licenses and business licenses. The tax on motor vehicles forms the
most important item among receipts of this class.
SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND SPECIAL CHARGES.— Special assessments are compulso­
ry contributions levied under the taxing or police power to defray the costs of
specific public improvements or public services undertaken primarily in the in­
terest of the public.
They differ from the general property tax in that they
are apportioned according to the assumed benefits to the property affected by
the Improvements, or the assumed benefits to individuals or corporations by
reason of the services performed. The amounts shown in the table Include all
amounts received on account of assessments levied to meet such costs for street
and sewer construction and maintenance,and for other Improvements and services,
assessed against the benefited properties or persons.
Special charges differ somewhat from special assessments. Such a charge is
made where the cost of a public improvement,the payment for which is classified
as an outlay,is made a charge against the benefited person or property, and the
amount of the charge is the amount of the actual cost to the city of an im­
provement, such as the construction of a sidewalk,the charge being made against
the beneficiary without any levy against others.
FINES, FORFEITS, AND ESCHEATS.— Fines are amounts of wealth exacted from
Individuals, firms, and corporations under the sovereign power of Inflicting
punishment as penalties for violation of law; forfeits are amounts accruing to
governments in accordance with the terms of contracts as penalties for nonob­
servance of such contracts;and escheats are amounts of money or amounts receiv­
ed from the disposal of property the owners of which cannot be ascertained or
located.
GRANTS-IN-AID.— Grants-in-ald are amounts contributed by one civil division,
as a State or a county, to another to aid in the support of specified functions.
When, however,any of the divisions of the government of a city receives for its
own use from any other civil division the proceeds ot any general property tax
levy or of any other tax or revenue collected wholly within the territory of
the local division receiving same, and the amount so received is substantially
proportionate to the amount produced or collected within such territory, the
amount so received is reported under the proper classification as a receipt
from taxes and not as a grant.
DONATIONS.— Donations consist of gratuitous contributions received from
private persons and corporations, the principal or Income of which can be ex­
pended for municipal uses, which in most cases are designated by the donor.
PENSION ASSESSMENTS.— Pension assessments are amounts received by or for
policemen’s, firemen’s, teachers’,or other pension or retirement funds that are
contributed by the city employees as dues,percentages of salaries, or so-called
assessments for the establishment or maintenance of such funds.
HIGHWAY PRIVILEGES.— Highway privilege dues is the designation applied by
the Bureau of the Census to amounts received from individuals and corporations
enjoying a special privilege of using the streets and alleys of cities In pro­
viding public services, such as those furnished by street railways, subways,
electrlc-llght, telephone, or water companies, when such receipts are In the
nature of compensation for the use of or privilege in the streets and are col­
lected under the terms of the original or a subsequent franchise; also to amounts
received for grants of the privilege of maintaining private sewers, drains, and
vaults under the street, fruit and other stands,and other property on the side­
walk, and of extending awnings, bay and show windows, and other structures and
conveniences, including signs, beyond the building line.




DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY

RENTS AND INTEREST.— The receipts from rents tabulated In table 3 comprise
all amounts received by the various divisions and funds of the government of
the city from the rental of real property held principally or wholly for In­
vestment purposes.
Table 3 shows the total amount of Interest received on revenue account by
the general treasuries of the various divisions of the government of the city
and by their separate funds, except such amounts as were received as Interest
on taxes and special assessments, which are tabulated with the receipts from
revenues of those two classes.
EARNINGS OF GENERAL DEPARTMENTS.— General departments, as the term Is used
by the Bureau of the Census, Include all departments of administration which
have charge of municipal activities, except those charged with the administra­
tion of public-service enterprises. The revenue receipts of general departments
are derived from fees, charges, minor sales, and allied sources and constitute
what economists call contractual as distinguished from compulsory revenues,such
as taxes, special assessments, and fines. The fees and charges here included
are those which represent the actual compensation for services performed, and
are to be distinguished from receipts which secure for the Individuals or
corporations making the payments the privilege or right of doing something,such
as license fees and permits.
These earnings are shown by departments in table
10.
EARNINGS OF PUBLIC-SERVICE ENTERPRISES.— Under the designation "publicservice enterprises" the Bureau of the Census includes those enterprises or
branches of municipal service which are established and tnaintained by city gov­
ernments for the purpose of providing the public, or the public and the city,
with some utility or service, such as water, electricity, gas, markets, ware­
houses, transit systems, ports, wharves, harbors, auditoriums, stadiums, and
airports.
TABLE 4
GOVERNMENTAL COST PAYMENTS.— Under the general heading "Governmental-cost
payments" of table 4 are included all costs of municipal governments,consisting
of the costs of the services employed, properties constructed, purchased, or
utilized, and interest on borrowed moneys, which are incurred for protecting
person, property, and health, providing social necessities and conveniences,
caring for the dependent and delinquent classes, and performing other services
and carrying on other activities for which those governments have authority.
These costs are readily separable into three classes— expenses, or operation
and maintenance,
interest, and outlays.
The governmental-cost payments are
shown for the municipality and for each of its independent divisions in the
same form as are revenue receipts, as explained in the text for table 3, p. 17.
EXPENSES, OR PAYMENTS FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE.— Municipal expenses,or
payments for operation and maintenance, are the costs and losses of cities from
which no permanent or subsequently convertible value is received or receivable.
They are costs, exclusive of those arising from the construction or acquisition
of permanent properties or improvements, which are Incurred by cities and their
independent divisions of government on account of services employed, property
rented, and materials utilized in connection with the maintenance and operation
of government, and the management of trusts.
Table 4 presents these costs
separately for general departments and for public-service enterprises.
INTEREST CHARGES.— The term "municipal Interest charges” is a designation
of lntere-st costs incurred by municipalities for the use of credit capital. All
payments on account of such charges are shown in a single column of table 4,but
in table 16 are shown the amounts paid on each class of debt.




20

FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES

OUTLAYS.— Municipal outlays are the costs of land and other properties and
public improvements, more or less permanent in character, which are owned and
used by municipalities in the exercise of their municipal functions or in con­
nection with the business undertakings conducted by them. In the column "For
outlays” is shown the aggregate of all payments for the purchase and improve­
ment of land, the erection of new buildings, the purchase of equipment for the
police, fire, health,or other departments,purchases to Increase the collections
of libraries, museums, and art galleries, the installation and extension of
water-supply systems,electric-light systems,and other enterprises, and payments
on account of all other acquisitions which add to the number and value of the
permanent possessions of the municipality. Payments for outlays for the general
departments are shown separately in table 17, as are also those for the princi­
pal classes of public-service enterprises.
COMPARISON OF REVENUE RECEIPTS AND ALL GOVERNMENTAL-COST PAYMENTS.— Compar­
isons between revenue receipts and governmental-cost payments are of the great­
est significance in municipal finance. If a city is receiving more from revenue
than it is paying for operation, maintenance,
interest, and outlays,
it has a
balance which may be applied to reducing indebtedness,while if its payments for
operation, maintenance, Interest, and outlays are greater than its revenue re­
ceipts, the city is increasing its indebtedness. If it Is realizing from rev­
enues enough money to pay for all operating and maintenance costs and Interest,
but for only a portion of its outlays, it is imposing upon the future a part of
the burden of paying for its permanent properties and public Improvements.
In the last three columns of table 4 are shown the results of comparisons
between revenue receipts and governmental-cost payments. In the first of these
columns is shown the excess of governmental-cost payments over revenue receipts
for each of the cities In which such payments were In excess of revenue re­
ceipts, and in the second column is shown the excess of revenue receipts over
governmental-cost payments for each of the cities in which revenue receipts
were the greater. Of the 94 cities covered by this report,27 made governmentalcost payments In excess of their revenue receipts and 67 realized enough from
revenues to meet all their payments for operation, maintenance, Interest, and
outlays, and to have a balance available for paying debt.
COMPARISON OF REVENUE RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS FOR OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, AND
INTEREST.— The last column of table 4 shows the excess of revenue receipts over
payments for operation, maintenance, and Interest.
These payments correspond
approximately to the costs of a business corporation for maintenance, operating
expenses, and interest, exc-ept that no allowances have been made for depreci­
ation.
Of the 94 cities, 92 received from revenues amounts in excess of their pay­
ments for operation, maintenance, and interest.
NET AND TRANSFER REVENUE RECEIPTS AND GOVERNMENTAL-COST PAYMENTS.— The
totals of tables 3 and 4 Include both actual receipts and payments, or receipts
from and payments to the public, and nominal or transfer receipts and payments,
or amounts received by one department, fund, or account,as payments by another.
In text table V the total revenue receipts of table 3 and governmental-cost
payments of table 4 are separated into net, or actual, and transfer, receipts
and payments.

The amounts shown In the preceding table as transfer receipts and payments
comprise (1) service transfers,which are amounts paid as costs of operation and
maintenance or outlays by one department or enterprise to another from which it
receives services or the use of quarters; and (2) interest transfers, which re­
present payments made by the city corporation or a division of the city to one
of its funds on account of Interest on municipal securities held by that fund.
Of the transfer receipts reported, $50,811,346 were interest transfers, and
$11,907,334 were service transfers. Of the total transfer payments, $50,811,346
were interest transfers, and $11,386,118 were service transfers.
TABLE 5
PER CAPITA REVENUE RECEIPTS AND SPECIFIED GOVERNMENTAL-COST PAYMENTS.— The
per capita receipts and payments of table 5 are based on the absolute amounts
shown in tables 3 and 4. The most significant figures of the table are those




DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY

23

for the three groups of cities arranged according to population. They show that
the per capita receipts and payments tend to increase with the size of the
cities. The population upon which the per capita amounts are based is the es­
timated population of the city as at July 1, 1933, no later estimates having
been made, except for Washington, D. C.
TABLE 6
PERCENT DISTRIBUTION OF REVENUE RECEIPTS AND GOVERNMENTAL-COST PAYMENTS.—
Table 6 shows for the several cities and for the three groups of cities the
percent which the receipts from each of the classes of revenue constitute of
the total revenue receipts and the percent which the payments for each of the
classes of governmental costs— operation and maintenance, interest, and outlays
— constitute of the total of such payments, the figures for operation and main­
tenance being shown under two heads, "Operation and maintenance of
general
departments” and ’’Operation and maintenance of public-service enterprises.”
The percentages are in all cases computed upon the basis of the receipts and
payments shown in tables 3 and 4.
PROPORTIONAL DISTRIBUTION OF REVENUE RECEIPTS, BY DIVISIONS OF THE GOVERN­
MENTS OF CITIES.— An examination of table 3 discloses that the proportion of
revenues received from property taxes is much greater, as a rule, for city
corporations in cities having a single division of government than in those
having two or more divisions, while the relative contributions from special
assessments are larger in the cities having more than one division of govern­
ment.
Independent divisions of the city government receive relatively small
amounts from special assessments.
PERCENT RELATION OF REVENUE RECEIPTS TO GOVERNMENTAL-COST PAYMENTS.— Of the
total revenue receipts of the 94 cities covered by this report,68.5 percent was
required for meeting payments for operation and maintenance, 12.2 percent was
required for meeting interest payments, and the remainder, 19.3 percent, was
available for outlays or other purposes.
The last five columns of table 6 show the percent of governmental-cost pay­
ments applied on operation and maintenance of general departments,operation and
maintenance of public-service enterprises, interest,and outlays,and the percent
of the total governmental costs that were represented by revenue receipts. For
67 of the 94 cities the revenue receipts were greater than the governmentalcost payments, while for the remaining 27 cities the revenues were not suffici­
ent to meet the cost of the year for operation,maintenance,interest,and outlays.
TABLE 7
RECEIPTS FROM THE GENERAL PROPERTY TAX.— The receipts of the several cities
from the general property tax are shown in table 7 In four columns.
The first
column gives the total amount collected in each of the several cities; the
second, the amount collected as part of the current levy; the third, the amount
collected on levy of prior years; and the fourth, the amount received as penal­
ties and interest on deferred payments.
RECEIPTS FROM SPECIAL TAXES.— In the text for table 3 will be found a
discussion of the character of taxes classified as special. In table 7 receipts
from special taxes are shown under two heads, ’’Property” and ”A11 other.” The
amounts received from the different classes of special property taxes are shown
in text table VI, which follows.

RECEIPTS FRCM POLL TAXES.— Poll taxes, defined in the discussion of table 3
and amounting to $1,560,180 in 1936 were reported by 32 of the 94 cities locat­
ed in 10 States.
RECEIPTS FRCM BUSINESS TAXES.— In 1936 the revenues derived from business
taxes, exacted with or without the issue of licenses, defined in the discussion
of table 3, amounted to $169 ,.876,768,a relatively small percentage of the total
revenues. Of this amount, 22 percent was received from alcoholic beverage per­
mits.
RECEIPTS FROM NONBUSINESS LICENSE TAXES.— The receipts from nonbusiness
license taxes, as defined In the discussion of table 3, are tabulated in three
columns, the headings of which are generally descriptive of the classes of rev­
enue Included under each.
Some of the cities not reporting receipts from dog taxes collected such
taxes for the States, receiving ‘back a portion of the same as grants-ln-aid,
receipts from which are included in table 8. In other cities dogs are assessed
as property, and receipts from taxes on dogs are included with general property
taxes.
RECEIPTS FROM SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND SPECIAL CHARGES.— Receipts from spe­
cial assessments and special charges,defined in the text for table 3,constitute
but a small portion of revenue receipts for the cities as a whole and in recent
years the percentage of revenues from this source has decreased.
Special assessments for operation and maintenance were reported for 38
cities and aggregated $3,933,055.
Special assessments and special charges for outlays were reported by 89
cities * with a total of $41,590,664.
They were collected In the majority of
cities for the construction of sewers, paving, curbing, and sidewalks; but in
some cities for the grading and widening of streets, the building of retaining
walls, bridges, and viaducts, and for park improvements.
RECEIPTS FRCM FINES, FORFEITS, AND ESCHEATS.— The text discussion of table
3 presents definitions of these terms.
With the exception of receipts from

from these sources is for most

TABLE 8
RECEIPTS FROM GRANTS-IN-AID.— The total amount received as grants-in-aid
from other civil divisions,as defined in the text for table 3,was $372,682,581.
Of this amount, $101,997,737, or 27.4 percent, was received from the Federal
Government, principally for unemployment relief, and used chiefly for the con­
struction or acquisition of municipal properties.
Of the amount shown for
Washington, D. C., $5,700,000 represents an annual apportionment of the Federal
Government as its share of local government expense.
Because of increased
grants for unemployment relief, grants for education did not, as in years
previous to 1933, constitute the major portion of the amounts received from
other civil divisions, the proportion for education for 1936 being 43.6 percent
of the total.
RECEIPTS FROM DONATIONS.— The receipts from donations from private individ­
uals and corporations, as defined in the text for table 3, are shown separately
for principal of public trust funds, such as those established for retirement
of city employees, endowment of institutions, and relief of poor.
Receipts shown in the column ’’All other” represent contributions to the
city principally for maintenance or acquisition of educational and recreational
facilities and for the furtherance of health and charitable projects.
RECEIPTS FRCM PENSION ASSESSMENTS.— Receipts from pension assessments, as
defined in the text for table 3, are reported by all but three of the cities
and are arranged in four classes, the largest contributions being from school
teachers.
TABLE 9
RECEIPTS FROM HIGHWAY PRIVILEGES.— Under this classification, as defined in
the text for table 3, are reported revenues amounting to $20,094,122, more than
70 percent of which appears in cities of group I.
RECEIPTS FROM RENTS OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES.— The receipts from rents, as
defined in the text for table 3, are separated into two classes— those from the
properties of public trust funds, and those from all other properties.
RECEIPTS FROM INTEREST.— Table 9 includes all Interest receipts, as defined
in the text for table 3.
The first column of the interest section of table 9 shows the total revenue
receipts from interest; that is, the total receipts from Interest,less receipts
of accrued Interest on original sales of debt obligations. These receipts
are arranged in four groups— those received by sinking funds, by public trust
funds, by investment funds and from Investments, and those received on current
deposits. With the interest here tabulated are the receipts of sinking funds,
public trust funds, and Investment funds that were paid by the divisions of the
city government to these funds as interest on their debt obligations held as
investments. The aggregate of such interest transfer receipts was $50,811,346,
of which $25,592,868, or 50.4 percent, was reported by New York. If this aggre­
gate be deducted from the total Interest receipts there remains $13,070,165
which is the actual interest, or that received from the public by the 94 cities
in 1936.
TABLE 10
CHARACTER OF RECEIPTS TABULATED AS FROM GENERAL DEPARTMENTAL EARNINGS.— As
receipts from rents there are Included in table 10 only amounts received for
the use of real property employed principally for departmental uses.




DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY

27

As receipts from sales there are included receipts from the sale of dis­
carded equipment and materials where the payments for replacement and renewal
are classified as for maintenance. Similar sales on outlay account are classi­
fied as nonrevenue receipts.
Certain receipts from sources other than those above described are classed
as departmental,the principal item being amounts received as insurance to cover
losses by fire in cases where the repair of fire damages is charged to mainte­
nance. Receipts from insurance where the repair of damages is charged to out­
lay are classified as offsets to outlays, or nonrevenue receipts.
CLASSIFICATION OF GENERAL DEPARTMENTAL RECEIPTS.— The total amount of re­
ceipts from fees, charges, rents, sales, and allied sources is shown in this
report, and alsg its distribution to the divisions of government by which the
services were rendered. These divisions correspond to the classification em­
ployed in tabulating the general departmental payments for operation and
maintenance, and outlays, as given in tables 12 and 17.
TABLE 11
PUBLIC-SERVICE ENTERPRISES.— In the text for table 3 will be found a
definition of the term public-service enterprise as used by the Bureau of the
Census.
The statistics of municipally operated public-service enterprises are for
most cities defective because of the fact that their accounts are not completely
segregated, and the enterprises are not credited with all the revenues arising
from their activities nor debited with all the payments chargeable to them. For
example, they may not be credited for utilities furnished or services rendered
by them to the various departments and to other public-utility enterprises of
the city, and may not be charged with taxes.
RECEIPTS OF PUBLIC-SERVICE ENTERPRISES.— The receipts shown in table 11 for
the different classes of public-service enterprises Include all revenue receipts
of these enterprises recorded in the books of the local governments, with the
exception of interest on current deposits.
The amounts reported in the column headed "All other” were received princi­
pally from ferries, toll bridges, gas-supply systems, radio stations, land
development, and farms.
TABLE 12
PAYMENTS FOR EXPENSES, OR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, OF GENERAL DEPART­
MENTS.— In table 12 are presented statistics showing payments for 1936 for the
operation and maintenance of the local governments for objects or purposes
other than the operation and maintenance of public-service enterprises. Such
payments, classified by the Bureau as expenses of general departments, consti­
tute by far the most important class of payments, comprising 66.3 percent of
the total payments for governmental costs, as shown in table 6. They are given
in table 12 in sufficient detail to show the relative expenses of the several
departments and functions in each city and to compare payments of a given ac­
tivity in one city with the corresponding payments in other cities.
These payments are arranged in nine general groups or divisions to each of
which is given a specific designation, and the payments recorded in each of
these divisions are subdivided according to specific purpose. In making com­
parisons of the data for individual cities from table 12 it should be noted
that while the payments shown for the main groups of departments or divisions
are fairly accurate, and hence comparable, those for some of the specific ac­
tivities are less exact.
For example, a large number of cities made payments
in 1936 for prevention of tuberculosis and for the care of patients suffering
from that disease. An effort was made to include all payments of this class in

62786 0 —38----

FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES

those of the health department as part of the total payments for the prevention
and cure of communicable diseases. For most cities all of these payments are
tabulated as for the health department, but in several cases a portion is in­
cluded with payments for hospitals or outdoor poor relief. In the division of
"Charities" a wide range in payments for care of outdoor poor will be noted,due
to the varying units of government administering this type of relief.
IMPERFECT STATEMENTS OF EXPENSES, OR PAYMENTS FOR OPERATION AND MAINTE­
NANCE.— In the last column of several of the divisions of table 12 are tabulat­
ed payments that could not be distributed to any one of the more specific
columns of the division, owing to imperfect local accounts.
PAYMENTS CLASSIFIED AS "MISCELLANEOUS".— In most Instances the column head­
ings of this division reveal clearly the nature of the payments tabulated under
each. Under the heading "Unclasslfled" are tabulated those payments that are
not assignable to any specific classification of any of the divisions. The
amounts Included in the column '♦Undistributed" are, with few exceptions, those
which with complete accounting locally for statistical reports would be distri­
buted to the various other columns of the table.
The amounts so tabulated
represent (1) undistributed payments for operating plants which are sometimes
referred to as municipal service enterprises, such as electric-light plants,
heating plants, and garages; and (2) operating plants not classified as munici­
pal service enterprises, and such other payments for accounts with departments
of supplies, purchasing agent, Insurance, printing, advertising, workmen’s com­
pensation, and similar accounts as cannot be distributed. It should be noted
that for 1936 payments on account of mothers’ aid and veterans’ relief are
shown under the division of charities instead of miscellaneous.
EXCEPTIONAL PAYMENTS BY MASSACHUSETTS CITIES.— The State of Massachusetts
has established for the benefit of a number of cities and towns certain metro­
politan districts in and about Boston for the purchase and Improvement of parks
and for the construction and maintenance of sewers and waterworks. The cities
and towns benefited are charged with the costs of maintaining the properties
and public improvements acquired, Including the Interest on loans made by the
State for the original outlays, and are required to make contributions to the
State sinking fund for the redemption of the debt incurred by the State for
their benefit.
Other payments to the Conmonwealth of the same general nature
are those for the abolition of grade crossings.
TABLE 13
PAYMENTS FOR EXPENSES, OR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, OF THE PRINCIPAL
GENERAL DEPARTMENTS— TOTAL AND PER CAPITA.— In table 13 are presented the governmental-cost payments, total and per capita, for operation and maintenance of
all departments other than public-servlce enterprises, arranged in most cases
according to nine main groups of municipal functions, and in some cases showing
separately the payments for the more important departments, such as police,fire
and schools.
PAYMENTS FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INCREASE WITH POPULATION OF CITIES—
Group I shows, with but few exceptions, the highest per capita figures for all
payments Included in the table, groups II and III following in the order named.
The figures for Individual cities of the different groups show striking vari­
ations because of the factors other than population which Influence operation
and maintenance payments.
The per capita payments for general governmental operation and maintenance
of the city corporations of groups I and II are larger than they otherwise
would be because of the fact that New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Baltimore,
Boston, San Francisco, Washington, and New Orleans exercise all the executive
and judicial functions usually possessed by counties. To secure comparability




DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY

between the payments for all general governmental functions In these cities and
in other cities of groups I and II which exercise no county functions, certain
percentages of the payments for operation and maintenance of county governments
of the other cities of groups I and II are combined with tne city payments, as
explained in the discussion of table 2, page 4.
TABLE 14
PERCENT DISTRIBUTION OF PAYMENTS FOR EXPENSES, OR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE,
OF THE PRINCIPAL GENERAL DEPARTMENTS.— Table 14 shows,by principal divisions of
the general departmental service, the percent distribution of the payments for
expenses, or operation and maintenance, other than those for public-service en­
terprises. This distribution represents broadly the relative importance of the
principal classes of payments for the several cities and groups of cities.
For nearly all cities a larger percentage was reported for schools than for
any other purpose shown In the table. Although the per capita payments for
schools, as shown in table 13, increase with the size of cities, they do not
increase as rapidly as other per capita expenses; hence the percentages repre­
sented by payments for schools,as given in table 14, are greater for the cities
of group III than for those of group I.
TABLE 15
PAYMENTS FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PUBLIC-SERVICE ENTERPRISES.— The
nature of these enterprises has been e^qplained in the text discussion of table
3.
The water-supply system is the most important public-service enterprise
operated by American cities. Of the 94 municipalities included in this report
84 reported water-supply systems, and the payments for operating them amounted
to $68,184,970.
The revenue receipts for these enterprises, as disclosed In
table 11, were $184,359,205, or more than double the Operating costs.
A number of Massachusetts cities in the vicinity of and including Boston
obtain water for their respective systems from the metropolitan water system,
which is operated by the State, all costs of construction, extension, ana main­
tenance being annually apportioned by the State among the various cities and
towns benefited.
TABLE 16
PAYMENTS FOR INTEREST ON CITY DEBTS.— The interest payments of table 16 are
classified as payments for interest on (1) funded or fixed debt, (2) special
assessment debt, and (3) floating debt,including short term loans and Interestbearing warrants.
They are exclusive of payments of Interest which balance
amounts previously received as accrued interest on the original issue of city
debt obligations. Payments of Interest on funded or fixed debt and on floating
debt are further subdivided to show the amounts paid on obligations Incurred
for general municipal purposes and those for public-service enterprises. Inter­
est on public-service enterprise debt is shown separately for revenue obliga­
tions and for other than revenue.
The amounts included in this table In the columns headed "Other governmen­
tal units" are given in detail for the various divisions of the city govern­
ments in the column headed "Interest" In Table 4.
Of the total amount of
interest payments, 83.9 percent was reported for city corporations, 7.1 percent
for independent school districts, and 9 percent for other Independent units,
including certain counties in groups I and II.
The aggregate of all interest payments was $354,114,735. Of this amount,
$50,811,346 or 14.3 percent, represents transfers or amounts of money paid by
the various divisions of the governments of the cities as interest on city se­
curities held by the sinking funds, Investment funds, and public trust funds.




30

FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES

The classification of interest according to the kind of debt obligation on
which paid shows that 92.7 percent of the total interest payments was on funded
or fixed debt, 3.4 percent on special assessment loans, 3.9 percent on floating
debt.
The interest on special assessment loans is paid, usually not from collec­
tions of property taxes or similar revenues, but from special assessments, such
assessments being collected in a number of annual or semiannual installments,
each one of which includes an amount for meeting the Interest on bonds for the
amortization of which the installment is collected.
EXCEPTIONAL PAYMENTS FOR INTEREST BY MASSACHUSETTS CITIES.— In the discus­
sion of table 12 attention is called to certain payments by Massachusetts
cities to the Commonwealth for the maintenance of sewer, park, and water-supply
systems that have been constructed for the benefit of the city of Boston and
the adjoining municipalities,and the further payments to the State to reimburse
it for payments of interest on loans which were made to finance the construc­
tion or acquisition of the systems. Similar payments of interest are made to
the State on the advances made by it in financing the cost of abolition of
grade crossings, and such interest payments by the cities are included in table
16.
TABLE 17
PAYMENTS FOR OUTLAYS.— The payments for outlays presented in table 17 com­
prise the amounts paid by the several cities for the acquisition and construc­
tion of more or less permanent properties and public Improvements, Including
additions made to those previously acquired or constructed. They are exclusive
of payments offset by receipts from the public on outlay account, the most
important of which are derived from sales of real property and from insurance
adjustments.
These excluded payments and the counterbalancing receipts are
classified as nongovernmental-cost payments and nonrevenue receipts.
The governmental-cost payments for outlays of the 94 cities reported
amounted to $438,737,948. The increase in net debt, as shown in table 22, was
$79,902,043. The governmental-cost payments for outlays, therefore, exceeded
the increase in net debt by $358,835,905. For the 94 cities as a whole, the
increase in net debt during the year amounted, to 18.2 percent of the governmen­
tal-cost payments for new properties and public improvements.
TABLES 18 and 19
NONREVENUE RECEIPTS AND NONGOVERNMENTAL-COST PAYMENTS.— Nonrevenue receipts,
nongovernmental-cost payments, the relation of those receipts and payments to
the records from which census reports are compiled, and the reasons for includ­
ing them in this report, are set forth in the text for table 2.
RECEIPTS FRCM THE ISSUE AND PAYMENTS FOR THE CANCELLATION OF DEBT OBLIGA­
TIONS.— The transactions relating to debt here reported are the net amounts
received and paid, or the par value of the obligations plus premiums and less
discounts, on all obligations in the form of funded or fixed debt, special
assessment loans, and floating debt, including short-term loans and warrants
issued but not paid during the year reported or issued in a former year and
paid in the year reported. The totals of Indebtedness outstanding are reported
in tables 22, 23, and 24.
RECEIPTS FOR AND PAYMENTS TO OTHER CIVIL DIVISIONS.— The receipts on ac­
count of other civil divisions represent the total amounts received as taxes
and other revenues, where collections were made by a division of the government
of the city for the State, county, or other division of government not includ­
ed in this report as a division of the government of the city; and the payments
to other civil divisions represent the total amounts disbursed to the civil
divisions for which moneys were collected*
Such receipts and payments are
agency transactions that are authorized by statutes.




DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY

31

OTHER NONREVENUE RECEIPTS AND NONGOVERNMENTAL-COST PAYMENTS.— Amounts ap­
pearing in the column '’All other” represent receipts and payments on account of
private trusts, investments, supplies, counterbalancing transactions, general
cash transfers, and interdivision agency transactions.
TABLE 20
AMOUNT OF SPECIFIED ASSETS AT CLOSE OF YEAR.— Table 20 shows,for each city,
the assets at the close of the year reported of the sinking, public trust, and
investment funds as recorded in the books of the several divisions of the gov­
ernment of the municipality, whether the funds were administered by the princi­
pal financial officer or by separate boards or commissions; it shows, also, the
cash held by the general administrative funds at the close of the year. All
cash on hand at the close of the year except that which was held in private
trust funds is shown in the four columns. The data for real property and'secu­
rities are shown only, in table 20. The valuation shown for the investments of
the funds are the book values. The figures for real property may represent its
cost to the fund or its valuation at a recent appraisement. The data for secu­
rities are usually carried on the records of the fund at their face value,
profits and losses being recorded only when the securities are disposed of; but
if for any city they were reported at cost or at their market value on the last
day of the fiscal year, those valuations were used in compiling the table.
ASSETS IN SINKING FUNDS.— The sinking funds maintained by cities and their
independent divisions are of two distinct classes, those with and those without
investments, the distinction depending largely upon the method of distributing
the loads to be carried by these funds. The sinking funds with investments are
established and maintained primarily for the redemption of long-term bonds at
maturity, the purpose of converting a part of the cash accumulation into secu­
rities being to augment the income of the funds by the amount of the excess of
the interest on the securities purchased over the amount that would be secured
on ordinary bank deposits. The sinking funds without securities are maintained
primarily for the amortization of debt obligations by purchase before their
maturity, or for the redemption of serial or other bonds maturing in practical­
ly equal amounts each year,the purposes of the funds usually being accomplished
without the accumulation of assets in large amounts.
ASSETS IN PUBLIC TRUST FUNDS.— Public trust funds are established by cities
and their Independent divisions for the purpose of conserving and administering
moneys and other forms of wealth that come to them by donation; bequest, or
otherwise, under such conditions that the recipient becomes a trustee charged
with the administration of the fund and with disbursements from it or from In­
come derived from its principal for designated public uses. The usual purposes
for which these funds are created are the support of educational activities in
schools and libraries, of health and hospital services, care of the poor, and
pensions for employees of the cities and independent divisions. Table 20 shows
the amount of the assets of these funds under three heads— Cash,City securities,
and Other investments.
ASSETS IN INVESTMENT FUNDS, AND MISCELLANEOUS INVESTMENTS.— Under the head­
ing ’’Assets in investment funds, and miscellaneous Investments” are shown all
assets of funds other than sinking and public trust funds and all interest
bearing securities and investments other tlian those of the funds mentioned,
including real property used for purposes other than those of the departments
and enterprises of the cities and their independent divisions. Although the
term ’’investment fund” is seldom employed by city officials, it seems to be an
appropriate designation for funds of the class here described. The value of
real property incidentally acquired and yielding little or no income is includ­
ed as miscellaneous investment. The major portion of the assets in investment
funds consists of utility properties owned but not operated by the city; in a
few Instances they consist of real property held for securing rents or for the




32

FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES

profits that may result from an increase in value; in other cases they consist
of bonds or mortgages received in exchange for real property and held as in­
vestments awaiting maturity or a favorable market.
In most cities reporting investment funds or investments the invested
assets are comparatively small, and in some instances they are held only tempo­
rarily while awaiting a favorable opportunity for the city to dispose of them,
when the proceeds are to be turned over to the general treasury. In some
cities permanent funds have been established to enable the cities to carry
their own fire risks on municipal buildings, an amount equal to the premiums
usually charged by Insurance companies being set aside each year for the cre­
ation of a fund from which fire losses may be paid as they occur. Some of these
Insurance funds are built up by annual appropriations until the assets reach a
prescribed amount. Such funds are usually invested in profitable securities and
are here classed as Investment funds. Funds provided for the purchase,construc­
tion,or equipment of buildings or other permanent properties of the municipali­
ty which are invested during the period of accumulation are also treated as
Investment funds. Table 20 shows the amount of assets of all such funds as are
described above, Including those of the city corporation and those of all inde­
pendent divisions of government which constitute parts of the governing organi­
zations of the municipalities.
CASH IN GENERAL TREASURY AND GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE FUNDS.— General admin­
istrative funds, as the term is here used, are all funds administered by the
city and its Independent divisions of government, except the sinking, public
trust,
investment, and private trust funds.
The cash shown in table 20 as
belonging to the general treasury and general administrative funds at the close
Of the year Is presented in two columns, so as to show separately the amounts
held In private trust accounts.
ASSETS IN PRIVATE TRUST FUNDS.— Private trust funds are of tv/o kinds; (1)
Those under which the city assumes the obligation of applying to specified uses
moneys deposited or the interest derived therefrom for the person or corpora­
tion whose deposit Is accepted in trust, and (2) those under which the city
merely holds moneys or securities until the fulfillment of certain conditions
or the determination of the owner.
The most common of type (1) are those for
the care of cemetery lots, and the most common of type (2) comprise deposits of
public-service corporations or Individuals to guarantee fulfillment of contracts.
The cash and other assets belonging to private trust funds are omitted from
this presentation of the assets of municipalities for the reason that the obli­
gations on private trust accounts, of which these assets constitute a part, are
no longer included in table 22 as an item in the gross debt of the cities.
TABLE 21
VALUE OF PROPERTIES EMPLOYED OR HELD FOR SPECIFIED PURPOSES.— The value of
all permanent public properties except those in funds with investments is shown
In table 21 in which, for convenience of treatment, these properties are clas­
sified as "Land, buildings, and equipment of general departments,” and ”Land,
buildings, and equipment of public-service enterprises.” Most of the proper­
ties Included under the first heading are essential to the conduct of municipal
affairs and are unproductive; that is, any income that may be derived from them
is merely incidental. The properties of public-service enterprises are produc­
tive; that is, they are designed to furnish an income exceeding the cost of
operating and maintaining them.
VALUATION OF MUNICIPAL PROPERTIES.— The Importance of carefully and accu­
rately estimating the value of public properties is not sufficiently appreciat­
ed by many city officials. The amounts given for some cities represent the book
value of lands and buildings equal to their original cost,less depreciation and
plus Improvement and appreciation, while for others the valuation given is only
an estimate. The result is that the valuation of public possessions shown for
different cities does not furnish absolutely reliable data for comparisons.




DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY

33

VALUE OF PROPERTIES OP GENERAL DEPARTMENTS.— The total valuation reported
for departmental properties amounted to $4,672,762,345. Of this amount' $1,995,639,568 represents valuation of schools and $1,135,166,497 represents the valu­
ation of properties employed in recreation.
VALUE OF PROPERTIES OF PUBLIC-SERVICE ENTERPRISES.— Of the total value of
public-service enterprises, 68.4 percent represents the value of water-supply
systems; 8.8 percent, the value of electric light and power systems; 4.3 per­
cent, the value of transit systems; 8 percent,the value of ports, docks,wharves,
and harbors; 2.9 percent, the value, of auditoriums, halls, and stadiums; 1.8
percent, the value of airports; and 5.8 percent, the value of all other enter­
prises, including subways for pipes and wires, gas-supply systems, toll bridges,
ferries, and other enterprises.
TABLE 22
GROSS AND NET INDEBTEDNESS OF CITIES.— Table 22 shows both the gross and
net indebtedness at the close of the year reported for all cities. The term
"gross indebtedness” is here used as the designation of the aggregate of all
outstanding debt obligations, and the term "net indebtedness” is used as the
designation of the total of the amounts representing the funded or fixed debt,
less the assets of sinking funds accumulated for their amortization. Sinkingfund assets accumulated for the amortization of special assessment debt, where
they could be identified as such, were excluded from the calculation.
INDEBTEDNESS CLASSIFIED BY GOVERNMENTAL UNIT BY WHICH INCURRED.— The table
shows separately the gross debt of the city corporations and of the independent
school districts, while the total debt of other governmental units is shown In
a single column. Included in the data appearing in the column headed "Other
governmental units" are parts of tjie debts of the counties In which certain
cities of groups I and II are located. The object sought to be attained by
their inclusion is stated in th&. text for table 2. There is included, also, the
debt or a percentage of the debt of such other independent divisions of munici­
pal government as park, sanitary, port, water, and improvement districts.
INDEBTEDNESS CLASSIFIED W CHARACTER OF OUTSTANDING DEBT OBLIGATIONS.— The
indebtedness of the municipalities is classified by character of obligation
under three principal headings: "Funded or fixed," "Special assessment bonds
and certificates,” and "Floating."
Subheadings for funded or fixed and for
floating debt Indicate whether the obligations were Incurred for general munic­
ipal purposes or for public-service enterprises and investments. The kinds of
debt included under each of the major headings are described in the paragraphs
which follow.
FUNDED OR FIXED INDEBTEDNESS.— Funded or fixed debt includes all debts evi­
denced by formal instruments which have a number of years to run and for the
amortization of which no assets other than those of sinking funds have as yet
been specifically authorized or appropriated. The debts of this class are call­
ed corporation stock, bonds, certificates, serial notes, serial bonds, and
mortgages.
SPECIAL ASSESSMENT INDEBTEDNESS.— Special assessment loans include all socalled bonds, certificates, and other short-term obligations Issued or Incurred
with the understanding that they are to be paid wholly or In part from the
proceeds of special assessments.
No differentiation is made as to whether the
special assessment debt is a general obligation of the local government or mere­
ly a special obligation of a limited number of properties of the unit. Special
assessment debt was incurred for general municipal purposes, except as Indicat­
ed by footnotes.




34

FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES

FLOATING INDEBTEDNESS.— Under the general term "floating" are included all
kinds of indebtedness except those described above as funded or fixed and
special assessment.
In previous reports floating indebtedness comprised only
the following classes: (1) All debts evidenced by bonds, warrants, and accounts
payable, to be redeemed from the levies of a succeeding year;
(2) all debts
evidenced by short-term bonds to be redeemed from the proceeds of long-term ob­
ligations; (3) all final judgments against the city,outstanding at the close of
the year;and (4) all indebtedness to public trust funds and private trust funds
due to the conversion to general public uses of money or other property receiv­
ed for creating trust funds,where the city assumes the annual payment of inter­
est on the -amounts so converted without issuing to the funds its formal bonds
or certificates of indebtedness. In the present report floating debt includes,
also, what has previously been termed "current indebtedness," comprising inter­
est-bearing short-term obligations, other than serial bonds, and noninterestbearing warrants.
In years previous to 1925 current debt included obligations on trust ac­
count, or amounts held in private trust funds and private trust accounts.
But
inasmuch as but few cities recognize these obligations as part of their indebt­
edness, such amounts are no longer included in the totals of gross debt. And,
as has been noted in the text discussion of table 20, the assets belonging to
private trust funds, which are an offset to private trust obligations have been
eliminated from the statement of the assets of the cities.
INDEBTEDNESS CLASSIFIED BY CREDITOR.— Under this general heading the total
gross debt included In table 22 is separated into two classes, that which was
owing (1) to the public, and (2) to city funds with investments. In the column
headed "City funds" is Included the par value of all city securities held by
sinking, public trust, and investment funds. Of the total debt, $1,374,826,778,
or 16.6 percent, was held by the three classes of funds mentioned.
In the
column headed "The public" is included the par value of all other city debt ob­
ligations outstanding.
INDEBTEDNESS CLASSIFIED BY PURPOSE FOR WHICH INCURRED.— A fourth classifi­
cation of table 22 segregates debt obligations of cities into debts incurred
for (1) the purposes of general departments and (2) the purposes of publicservice enterprises and investments.
Public-service enterprise debt
is
further subdivided into two classes, "Revenue" and "Other than revenue," as
indicated under the headings "Funded or fixed" and "Floating." Revenue debt is
defined as an obligation payable exclusively from the revenues of a specified
income-producing property or system, for the acquisition, construction, or im­
provement of which the obligation was Incurred. It Is expressly understood that
the obligation is not a general debt of the municipality and that there is no
recourse to any taxing power for payment. Debts of public-service enterprises
that do not come under the definition of "revenue," are general obligations of
the city or other district, but do not, as a rule, rest as a burden upon the
general taxpayers, but are paid from revenues derived from those specially
benefited.
INCREASE DURING THE YEAR IN TWO CLASSES OF DEBT AND IN SINKING-FUND
ASSETS.— Under the general title "Increase during the year in— ’* there are
given under descriptive headings the Increase in (1) the total funded or fixed
debt, (2) the sinking-fund assets, and (3) the net debt. The aggregate increase
in net debt for the year for all cities was $79,902,043, but 62 cities showed
decreases during the year in net debt.
PER CAPITA INDEBTEDNESS.— In the columns headed "Per capita" there are
given the per capita of (1) the total gross debt, (2) the gross debt incurred
for general departments, (3) the gross debt incurred for ’public-service enter­
prises and Investments, and (4) the net debt. The figures given in the column
referred to under (1) are, in the case of each city, the sum of those given in
the columns referred to under (2) and (3). Segregation of net indebtedness




DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY

corresponding to that given of gross indebtedness- was not practicable, as some
cities.do not classify sinking funds as for general and public-service purposes.
CHANGE IN DEFINITION OF TERMS.— The terms "net indebtedness" and "net debt"
as here used differ materially from the use of the term in some of the preced­
ing reports for cities having a population of over 30,000. In the reports for
the years 1902 to 1908, inclusive, the Bureau of the Census applied the term
"net debt" to the total outstanding obligation of cities, less the amount of
sinking-fund assets. The net debt so computed seldom represented the actual net
debt because the computation did not take account of the assets of cities pro­
vided for the redemption of current debt,which for those years included special
assessment bonds and certificates, revenue bonds and notes, warrants and trust
liabilities.
Recognizing this fact, the Bureau of the Census in its report for fiscal
years subsequent to 1908 applied the terms "net funded and floating debt", "net
indebtedness", and "net debt" to the difference between the gross funded and
floating debt and those sinking-fund assets which had been specifically
provided for the amortization of such debt*
In computing the net indebtedness
for the years 1912 and 1913, the total sinking-fund assets were deducted from
the gross funded and floating debt, but for all years other than those noted
above such assets of sinking funds as were provided for the amortization of
special assessment debt were excluded from the calculation.
It should be noted
that net debt for 1936 is exclusive of that class of obligations formerly des­
ignated as "floating" and included in net debt in previous report.
INCREASE OF INDEBTEDNESS WITH SIZE OF CITIES.— In general, per capita debt
increases with population of the cities. This is evidenced by the figures of
per capita gross debt, for both general departments and public-service enter­
prises and Investments, and of net debt, which are reproduced from table 22,for
the three groups of cities, in the following statement:

TABLE 23
FUNDED OR FIXED AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENT INDEBTEDNESS, CLASSIFIED BY PURPOSE
FOR WHICH INCURRED.— Table 23 presents a summary of that portion of the total
city indebtedness to which, in the text description of table 22, has been given
the designation "funded or fixed debt", and "special assessment bonds and cer­
tificates", classified according to the reported purpose for which the outstand­
ing obligations were Issued.
The classification for many cities is more or less Imperfect, owing to the
methods of recording debt by those cities. The classes of debt obligations by
purpose for which issued that are most accurately recorded by all cities are
those for the water-supply,lighting system,and other public-service enterprises.
Bonds issued under such terms as local Improvement, street improvement, and
general improvement have been tabulated,
so far as possible, under the more
descriptive headings of the table, and only when such tabulation was impossible
have they been tabulated as for "combined or unreported purposes."
Issues of bonds described as "refunding" or "funding" have been classified
according to the purpose of the original or replaced loan, if these purposes
could be discovered without too extended a search of the earlier records. When­
ever the purpose of the original issues was not disclosed the amounts of re­
funding and funding bonds have been tabulated as for "combined or unreported

FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES

The amounts shown in the column "Refunding” are an exhibit of obligations
issued to redeem funded debt obligations, and those in the column ’’Funding” are
an exhibit of obligations issued to redeem temporary obligations. The amounts
of these two exhibit columns are distributed among the other columns according
to purpose of issue.
TABLE 24
DEBT CLASSIFIED BY RATE OF INTEREST.— The debt for which statistics are
presented in table 24 comprises only funded or fixed debt. The total interestbearing debt for which rates were reported was $7,409,291,534.
In addition to
this amount, the table shows $9,821,664, for which the rates were not reported,
and $14,019,003 noninterest-bearing.
In the last column of the table is pre­
sented a rate which represents the weighted average.
NOMINAL AND ACTUAL RATES OF INTEREST.— By nominal rate of Interest is meant
the rate percent stated in the obligation itself, ’and by actual rate is meant
the percentage which the Interest payment specified in the obligation consti­
tutes of the actual ambunt of money received at its issue after allowance has
been made for the proportional distribution of the premium or of the discount
over the life of the obligation.
There are many elements that determine the rates of interest that cities
pay for the use of money, one of the principal ones being the condition of the
money market at the time the money is borrowed. Thus the rate of interest which
a given city will be obliged to pay on obligations issued may vary from time to
time. The nominal rates reported in table 24 are not the actual rates paid by
the cities, and therefore are not absolute measures of the credit rating of the
cities.
TABLE 25
ASSESSED VALUATION OF PROPERTY.— The valuations given in table 25 are those
of property which is subject to the general property tax for the uses of the
divisions of the governments of the cities covered by this report, and also of
property within these cities that is subject to taxation for uses of the State,
county, and minor civil divisions not covered in the report. In certain cities
the city valuations differ from the valuations on which State and county taxes
are levied. This difference results largely from the fact that certain classes
of property, especially property of corporations, in certain States are subject
to State and county taxation,but the valuation of such property does not appear
in the report of property taxed for city purposes. In some Instances the asses­
sed valuation of an independent division of the government of a city, such as a
school or park district, differs from that of the city corporation. These dif­
ferences are due to (1) difference in the areas of the city corporation and the
Independent division, the independent divisions in certain cities including
territory outside the city limits, while in others they include only a portion
of the territory within the cities; or (2) different bases of assessment, where
the city makes an assessment of property for its own levy,while the independent
district through its own agency makes an independent assessment of the same
property.
In examining the figures of table 25 relating to assessed valuations it
should be noted that those on a line designated as for city, State, county, or
other civil divisions represent the assessed valuation of the property within
the territory Included in the jurisdiction of the city corporation,and which is
subject to taxation for the maintenance of such division. The figures on a line
for one of the divisions of the government of a city represent the assessed
valuation of the property located within the limits of a city corporation sub­
ject to taxation for the maintenance of such division, as appraised at the
assessment made for the purpose of such division, whether it is the same as or
different from that made for city corporation purposes.




DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY

37

The table gives separately for the city corporation and each Independent
taxing division the valuation of all property in the division subject to the
general property tax.
(Definitions of the general property tax and special
property taxes are given in the text for table 3.)
The assessment reported is that made in the year covered by the report.
Therefore, It may be the basis of the tax levy of the operating year following.
The classification of property belonging to railroads, telegraph companies,
and a number of similar corporations varies in the different States. In some
States such properties are classified as real, in some as personal, in others
as both real and personal, and in still others they are given a separate classi­
fication. Where such property is given a separate classification and is taxed
for city purposes the valuation thereof is shown in the table under the heading
"Other property” , under which heading are also tabulated those property and
franchise valuations of corporations for which the details secured were insuf­
ficient for a more complete tabulation.
The Bureau report does not include a statement of the legal basis of as­
sessment. The legal basis by statute of certain States is not 100 percent of
the true or cash value of real or personal property or both,but is only a given
percentage of such value. In Alabama,for example,the legal basis is 60 percent;
in Washington, 50 percent of cash value; in Minnesota, real property is classi­
fied and assessed at values from 20 percent to 40 percent,and personal property
is classified in five classes with assessment at 25 percent to 100 percent. As
a result,the reported valuation of cities In States not prescribing 100 percent
of cash value is comparable with that of cities in States having a legal basis
of 100 percent, provided only that such variations are recognized and adjust­
ments made in the analysis.
Further, the Bureau report formerly included a statement of the reported
basis of assessment in practice.
This basis in several cities and independent
divisions is only a percentage of the full cash value. In some cases real es­
tate is reported to be assessed at a percentage of cash value and personal
property at 100 percent.
As examples: in California, assessed valuations are
approximately 50 percent of cash value; in Chicago, the assessed valuation of
both real and personal property is 37 percent of the cash value, as recognized
by court decision; in New Orleans, the basis of assessment for city and school
purposes is authorized to be 85 percent of the valuation for State and levee
purposes; in Florida, assessments used as a basis for the levy of city or other
local taxes are reported to vary for all types of property from approximately
20 percent to 50 percent of cash value; and in the cities of Texas,the reported
basis of assessment of both real and personal property ranges from 40 percent
to 75 percent for the levies for city and other units of government. In order
to obtain for any number of cities comparability of assessed valuation and tax
burden data, these variations in basis of assessing in actual practice must be
considered.
TOTAL AND PER CAPITA TAX LEVIES.— The amounts given in the last column un­
der the general heading ’’Levy’* on the lines for the several divisions of the
government show for the individual cities and for the groups of cities the
total and per capita levies of the general property tax, made during the year
covered by the report.
These per capita figures furnish a fairly comparable
measure of the tax burden resting upon the inhabitants of the various cities
here reported and should be considered In connection with the other per capita
figures of this report given in tables 5, 13, and 22.
It will be observed that for the cities of California, Delaware, Illinois,
Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island there is no line shown for "Govern­
ment of State.” In these seven States there was no levy of the general property
tax for State purposes. In some other States the levy is but a small amount and
for a specific purpose.
TAX RATES,— The rates of levy for the general property tax per $1,000 of
assessed valuation are given for each of the several divisions and independent
subdivisions of government.

FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES

CITIES WITH TWO OR MORE TAX RATES.— In the majority of cities all sections
and all property subject to the general property tax are taxed at the same rate.
In a number of cities, however, this tax is levied at different rates, either
upon different classes of property or in different sections. So far as the data
collected were sufficiently definite to make the needed exhibit, such data have
been arranged in text table VIII, which follows,to show for each class of prop­
erty or portion of the city the assessed valuations of the property taxes at
each rate and the amount of taxes levied at such rates.

DESCRIPTION OP SPECIAL TABLES
TABLE 26
DATA INCLUDED.— Table 26 presents data relating to the methods employed by
the cities In financing their capital outlays and is as accurate as was feasi­
ble to compile from the records of the cities and other local subdivisions.

percent was financed or is to be financed by proceeds from general bonds; 3.1
percent from special assessment obligations; and 50.8 percent from current rev­
enue. Of the portion of outlays met by current revenue, 23.3 percent was from
general revenue, 8.1 percent from special assessments, and 19.4 percent from
grants-in-aid.
PUBLIC-SERVICE ENTERPRISES.— Of the outlays reported for public-service en­
terprises, 65.2 percent was met or is to be met from proceeds of bond issues,

time and the number employed part time.
In making comparisons of the data for
individual cities, it should be noted that while the total number of employees
reported is fairly accurate, those for the separate departments are less exact,
being estimates in part. This occurs in those instances in which persons em­
ployed for full time perform services for two or more departments.
A percentage of the number of persons employed by those' independent or
overlapping units of government which are covered by this report, is included.
The percent used in each instance in determining the number to be Included
is indicated in table 2, and the reason for this procedure is set forth in the
text discussion of that table.
General departments employed 91.5 percent and public-service enterprises,
8.5 percent of the total number of employees reported. Persons on relief pay­
rolls were not included.
School employees for the full school year are reported as for full time.
Part and full time school employees constitute 39.4 percent of the total number
of employees reported for the general departments of the 94 cities as a whole.
