FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES HAVING A
POPULATION OF OVER 30,000: 1931
INTRODUCTION
Scope of report.—The present report of t h e Bureau of t h e Census is practically
limited t o a presentation of statistics of t h e financial transactions during t h e
fiscal year 1931 of t h e 310 cities, each of which h a d a population of over 30,000
as determined by t h e Federal census April 1, 1930, a n d of t h e financial condition
of those cities a t t h e close of t h e fiscal year reported. T h e report also presents
financial d a t a relating to t h e city a n d county of Honolulu, Hawaii.
T h e statistics are as accurate a n d as comparable as it has been feasible t o compile from t h e records of t h e cities a n d relate to a n u m b e r of subjects, t h e principal
of which are: (1) T h e t o t a l a n d per capita receipts from revenues a n d from t h e
principal classes thereof; (2) t h e t o t a l a n d per capita p a y m e n t s for expenses, or
operation a n d maintenance, a n d interest, a n d t o t a l outlays, a n d totals for each
of t h e principal classes of expenses a n d outlays; (3) t h e t o t a l value of municipal
properties; (4) t h e t o t a l a n d per capita municipal indebtedness; a n d (5) t h e t o t a l
assessed valuation of p r o p e r t y subject to t h e general property tax, and t o t a l a n d
per capita levies. T h e form of presentation has been approved by a census
advisory committee chosen from t h e I n t e r n a t i o n a l Association of Comptrollers
and Accounting Officers.
This report was prepared under t h e supervision of Starke M. Grogan, chief
statistician for statistics of States a n d cities, a n d Lemuel A. Carruthers, expert
chief of division. T h e text discussion was prepared by Miss Cora Higgins.
Purpose of report.—The purpose of the reports of this series is to provide
information in regard to t h e financial administration of t h e cities, in such form
as to be comparable, with t h e hope t h a t it m a y be of assistance to t h e officials
who are charged with responsibilities incident to t h e administration of local
government a n d t h e b e t t e r m e n t of t h e local communities; directly, t h r o u g h
personal s t u d y of t h e reports, a n d indirectly, t h r o u g h t h e interpretations a n d
recommendations of practical students of civic affairs a n d of local civic bodies.
T h e cities of this class are responsible for t h e protection of t h e lives, property,
a n d health of their own i n h a b i t a n t s , constituting over one-third of t h e population of t h e Nation, a n d of m a n y millions of persons who visit t h e m , as well as for
providing educational a n d recreational services, caring for t h e indigent, defective, a n d delinquent classes, a n d arranging for a constantly growing n u m b e r of
conveniences a n d services which are demanded by associations interested in t h e
b e t t e r m e n t of t h e several u r b a n communities.
Increase in the number and population of cities having over 30,000 inhabitants.—The growing importance of a report such as this is shown by one of t h e
most striking features of our national development during t h e 14 decades t h a t
h a v e passed since 1790, when t h e first Federal census was t a k e n — t h e greater
increase in t h e population of cities t h a n in t h a t of smaller places a n d of rural
communities. I n 1790 t h e United States h a d b u t one city with a population of
over 30,000. T h a t was New York, N.Y., which a t t h a t t i m e h a d 33,131 inhabi t a n t s . T h e two cities which ranked next to New York in population were
Philadelphia, Pa., with 28,522 inhabitants, a n d Boston, Mass., with 18,320
i n h a b i t a n t s . I n 1790 t h e national population n u m b e r e d 3,929,214, a n d t h e
population of New York, t h e one city of this class, constituted only 0.8 percent
of t h a t of t h e Nation. I n 1931 t h e national population n u m b e r e d 124,070,000
a n d t h e 310 cities of this class, with a t o t a l population of 48,280,412 contained
38.9 percent of t h e entire population of t h e Nation.
T a b l e I, which follows, shows t h e population of t h e Nation, exclusive of outlying possessions, a n d t h e n u m b e r a n d population of t h e cities having over
30,000 i n h a b i t a n t s , as e n u m e r a t e d a t each Federal census beginning with 1790

DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES
Number and character of general tables.—The statistics of the 310 incorporated places covered by this report are presented in 20 general tables. Table 1
gives certain statistics relating to population and area. Tables 2 and 3 summarize
the revenue receipts and governmental-cost payments by divisions of the city
government, and make certain comparisons between those receipts and payments.
Table 4 presents per capita averages, and table 5 the percent distribution of
the receipts and payments shown in tables 2 and 3. Tables 6 to 10, inclusive,
present detailed statistics relating to revenue receipts. Tables 11, 14, 15, and
16 give detailed statistics for governmental-cost payments. Table 12 summarizes certain groups of these payments and presents per capita averages therefor, and table 13 gives the percent distribution of these payments. Table 17
sets forth certain assets of cities. Tables 18 and 19 relate to municipal indebtedness. Table 20 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 arranged
in five principal groups, for each of which, as well as for the entire 310 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;
group III, cities having a population of 100,000 and less than 300,000; group
IV, cities having a population of 50,000 and less than 100,000; group V, cities
having a population of over 30,000 and less than 50,000. The grouping is based
upon the estimated population of the city as of the middle of the fiscal year
reported.
TABLE 1
Year of incorporation as a city.—In the column under the heading ''Year of
incorporation as a city" are given for 300 of the 310 municipalities covered by
the report the years in which they were organized as cities; for Cicero, 111.;
Arlington, Brookline, and Watertown, Mass.; Bloomfield, Irvington, Kearny,
and Montclair, N.J.; the years in which they were organized as towns; for Oak
Park, 111., the year in which it was organized as a village; and for Norristown, Pa.,
the year in which it was organized as a borough.
Population.—Except as indicated by footnotes, the table shows for each city
the estimated population at the middle of the fiscal year reported, the date of
which is shown in the preceding column. The estimates shown in the table are
based upon the assumption that the increase in the population of the municipality
during the period from January 1, 1920, to the date of estimate, the middle of
the fiscal year reported, was at the same rate as the increase between the census
enumeration of January 1, 1920, and that of April 1, 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.
The estimated population at the middle of the year is used as the basis of per
capita data presented in the tables of this report, because its use results in more
accurate statements of per capita financial transactions than would be secured
by using the estimated population at the close of the fiscal period. The date
chosen is the middle 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.
The number and total population of cities having over 30,000 inhabitants at
the middle of the fiscal year 1931 in each of the nine geographic divisions are
shown in table II, which follows.

Area.—The last column of t h e table shows, for each city, t h e land area subject
to t h e administration of t h e city corporation on J u l y 1, 1932.
TABLE 2
Divisions of municipal government.—The wide diversity of municipal organization is indicated by t h e n u m b e r of divisions employed to provide t h e servicesusually supplied b y local governmental bodies. In m a n y cities all m u n i c i p a l
functions are administered by t h e city corporation, while in others t h e functions
of local government are carried on by two or more governments as independent
units, each having t h e power of taxation, for t h e purpose for which it was constituted, over all or p a r t of t h e territory of t h e city. In all cases there is t h e city
corporation, which is charged with t h e administration of all municipal functions"
except those intrusted t o independent districts created to provide specific services
for t h e c o m m u n i t y ; t h e extent of a u t h o r i t y in each case being determined b y
general s t a t u t e s or charter enactments.
T h e t e r m " c o u n t y " appears as t h e designation of independent governmental
units in 18 of t h e cities of groups I a n d I I , as follows: Chicago, 111.; Detroit, Mich.;
Los Angeles, Calif.; Cleveland, Ohio; Pittsburgh, P a . ; Milwaukee, Wis.; Buffalo,
N . Y . ; Minneapolis, Minn.; Cincinnati, Ohio; Newark, N . J . ; Kansas City, M o . ;
Seattle, Wash.; Indianapolis, I n d . ; Rochester, N . Y . ; Jersey City, N . J . ; H o u s t o n ,
Tex.; Louisville, K y . ; a n d Portland, Oreg. T h e d a t a shown for these u n i t s
include percentages of t h e entire d a t a for t h e county government, t h e percent in
each case being based upon t h e ratio between t h e assessed valuation of t h e city
a n d t h a t of t h e entire county. This t r e a t m e n t seems desirable because of t h e fact
t h a t in eight of t h e cities of these groups, viz, New York, N . Y . ; Philadelphia, P a . ;
St. Louis, M o . ; Baltimore, M d . ; Boston, Mass.; San Francisco, Calif.; Washington, D . C . ; a n d New Orleans, La., t h e original county organization has been
merged with t h a t of t h e city. T h e addition of t h e county figures, therefore,
places t h e cities of groups I a n d I I on a more comparable basis t h a n would b e
secured without such addition. T h e d a t a for cities of these two groups, however,
are n o t comparable with those for cities of group I I I , with t h e exception of those
for Denver, Colo., a municipality in which t h e county organization is merged
with t h a t of t h e city. For cities with county receipts a n d p a y m e n t s , this report
presents correct s t a t e m e n t s of t h e revenue receipts of each of the divisions of
government—city corporation, county, a n d school or other district—so far a s
such moneys were received by it, whether t h e revenues were collected by t h e
divisions for which t h e y were levied or by another division.
Special tables for county cities.—In t h e tables which follow there is a presentation of revenue receipts, p a y m e n t s for operation a n d maintenance a n d outlays
of general d e p a r t m e n t s , a n d gross and net debt for t h e 18 cities which include a
percentage of county d a t a . These tables show on a separate line t h e t o t a l a n d
per capita figures for t h e county.
T h e t o t a l a n d per capita a m o u n t s shown on t h e line " A l l o t h e r " include t h o s e
for t h e government of t h e city corporation proper, for school, sanitary, park„
a n d other independent districts practically coextensive with t h e cities, a n d a r e
comparable with t h e d a t a presented for cities in group I I I in t h e corresponding
general tables.

Revenue receipts.—Table 2 is designed to present the revenue receipts for each
of the 310 municipalities, and for each independent governmental body organized
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 showTn under the heading "City, and divisions of municipal
0-nvp.rnmpnt, "

DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES

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 governmental units
are shown on the line of the descriptive title of the unit. The governmental units
shown in the table, with the possible exception of some of the counties, for which
parts of the data are included, all exercise municipal functions.
For 115 municipalities the city corporation was the only local governmental
unit.
Revenue receipts represent amounts of money or other wealth received by or
placed to the credit of local governments 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. The significance of
the terms employed in table 2 as designations of the several 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
apportioned and levied by substantially the same methods as those employed
in apportioning 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 in the case of privately
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 assessed
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 valuations 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 business,
or by reason of the business in which they are engaged.
Nonbusiness license taxes are taxes other than upon business that are exacted
primarily for purposes of regulation, and are collected in connection with the
issues of so-called licenses or permits, and are always levied with reference 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 required
because of any specific business in which they are to be used; and (3) receipts
from departmental permits, other than those issued by public service enterprises,
such as marriage licenses, building permits, and permits to make sewer connections and to dig in the streets.
Special assessments and special charges.—Special assessments are compulsory
contributions levied under the taxing or police power to defray the costs of
specific public improvements or public services undertaken primarily in the
interest 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




zo

FINANCIAL. STATISTICS OF CITIES

amount of the charge is the amount of the actual cost to the city of an improvement, 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 nonobservance of such contracts; and escheats are amounts of money or amounts
received from the disposal of property the owners of which cannot be ascertained or located.
Subventions and grants, donations, and pension assessments.—Subventions
and grants are amounts contributed by one civil division, as a State or a county,
to another to aid in the support of specified functions.
Donations consist of gratuitous contributions received from private persons
and corporations, the principal or income of which can be expended for municipal
uses, which in most cases are designated by the donor.
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, rents, and interest.—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 providing public services, such as those furnished by street
railways, subways, electric-light, telephone, or water companies, when such
receipts are in the nature of compensation for the use of or privilege in the streets
and are collected 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 sidewalk, and of extending awnings, bay and show windows, and other
structures and conveniences, including signs, beyond the building line.
The receipts from rents tabulated in table 2 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 investment purposes.
Table 2 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 administration of public-service enterprises, such as water-supply systems, electric-light
systems, gas-supply systems, and markets. The revenue receipts of general
departments are derived from fees, charges, minor sales, and allied sources.
The fees and charges here included are those which represent the actual compensation for services performed. They 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, which are tabulated
as receipts from business and nonbusiness license taxes. These earnings are
shown by departments in table 9.
Earnings of public service enterprises.—Under the designation "public service
enterprises" the Bureau of the Census includes those enterprises or branches of
municipal service which are established and maintained by city governments
for the purpose of providing the public, or the public and the city, with some
utility or service, such as water, electricity, or gas.




DESCEIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES

TABLE 3
Governmental-cost payments.—Under the general heading "Governmentalcost payments" of table 3 are included all costs of municipal governments,
consisting of the costs of the services employed, properties constructed, purchased, or rented, public improvements constructed or otherwise acquired,
materials 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 2,
page 24.
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 3 presents these costs
separately for general departments and for public service enterprises.
Interest charges.—The term "municipal interest charges" is a designation of
interest 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 3, but
in table 15 are shown the amounts paid on each class of debt.
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 connection with the business undertakings conducted by them. In the column "For
outlays" is shown the aggregate of all payments for the purchase and improvement of land, the erection of new buildings, the installation and extension of
water-supply systems, electric-light systems, and other enterprises, the purchase of equipment for the fire department, purchases to increase the collections
of libraries, museums, and art galleries, 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 16, as are also those for the principal classes of public
service enterprises.
Comparison of revenue receipts and all governmental-cost payments.—Comparisons between revenue receipts and governmental-cost payments are of the
greatest 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 receipts, the city is increasing its indebtedness. If it is realizing from
revenues 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 propreties and public improvements.
In the last three columns of table 3 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 receipts,
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 310 cities covered by this report, 193 made governmental-cost
payments in excess of their revenue receipts and 117 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 3 shows the excess of revenue receipts
over payments for operation, maintenance, and interest. These payments correspond approximately to the cost of a business corporation for maintenance,
operating expenses, and interest, except that no allowances have been made for
depreciation.

As shown in the foregoing table, the net revenue receipts increased in the
period 1903 to 1931 from $439,126,753 to $2,891,365,312, or 558.4 percent.
During the corresponding period the percentage of increase for operation and
maintenance was 592.1, for interest 594.2, and for outlays 372.1. The payments
for operation and maintenance for the years shown make an unbroken series of
increases. The same is true of payments for interest with one exception. The
payments for outlays make an unbroken series of increases with the exception of
the periods from 1911 to 1913, 1915 to 1917, 1917 to 1919, and 1930 to 1931.
The total governmental-cost payments increased from $514,189,206 in 1903 to
$3,181,700,387 in 1931, or 518.8 percent. This is a considerably smaller percentage of increase than that of revenue, showing a decided tendency to increase
the proportion of outlay payments to be met from revenues.
Net and transfer revenue receipts and governmental-cost payments.—The
totals of tables 2 and 3 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 table VIII the total revenue receipts of table 2 and governmental-cost
payments of table 3 are separated into net, or actual, and transfer receipts and
payments.

T h e a m o u n t s shown in t h e preceding table as transfer receipts a n d p a y m e n t s
comprise (1) service transfers, which are a m o u n t s paid as costs of operation a n d
maintenance or outlays by one d e p a r t m e n t or enterprise to another from which
it receives services or t h e use of q u a r t e r s ; and (2) interest transfers, which r e p r e sent p a y m e n t s m a d e by t h e city corporation or a division of t h e city t o one of
its funds on account of interest on municipal securities held by t h a t fund.
Of
t h e transfer receipts reported, $47,275,919 were interest transfers and $14,906,454
were service transfers. Of t h e t o t a l transfer p a y m e n t s , $47,276,926 were i n t e r e s t
transfers and $14,910,521 were ser vice transfers.
TABLE 4
Per capita revenue receipts and specified governmental-cost payments.—The
per capita receipts and p a y m e n t s of table 4 are based on t h e absolute amounts;
shown in tables 2 and 3. T h e most significant figures of t h e table are those for
t h e five groups of cities arranged according to population. T h e y show t h a t t h e
per capita receipts and p a y m e n t s tend to increase with the size of t h e cities from
those having a population of from 30,000 to 50,000 to those with over 500,000
inhabitants, t h e increase in t h e a m o u n t s of these transactions being in greater
proportion t h a n t h e increase in population. T h e population upon which t h e
per capita a m o u n t s are based is t h e estimated population of t h e city a t t h e middle
of t h e fiscal year of t h e city corporation as shown in t h e third column of table 1.

TABLE 5
Percent distribution of revenue receipts and governmental-cost payments.—
T a b l e 5 shows for t h e several cities a n d for t h e five groups of cities t h e percent
which t h e receipts from each of t h e classes of revenue constitute of t h e t o t a l
revenue receipts a n d t h e percent wiiich t h e p a y m e n t s for each of t h e classes of
governmental costs—operation a n d maintenance, interest, a n d outlays—cons t i t u t e of t h e t o t a l of such p a y m e n t s , t h e figures for operation a n d maintenance
being shown under two heads, " Operation a n d maintenance of general d e p a r t m e n t s ' ' a n d " Operation a n d m a i n t e n a n c e of public service enterprises." T h e
percentages are in all cases computed upon t h e basis of t h e receipts and p a y m e n t s shown in tables 2 a n d 3.
Proportional distribution of revenue receipts, by divisions of the governments
of cities.—An examination of table 2 discloses t h e fact t h a t t h e proportion of
revenues received from property taxes is m u c h greater, as a rule, for city corporations in cities h a v i n g a single division of government t h a n in those having
two or more divisions, while t h e relative contributions by special assessments
are larger in t h e cities having more t h a n one division of government. I n d e p e n d e n t divisions of t h e city government seldom receive revenue from special
assessments. T h e school districts receive a larger proportion of all revenues
from subventions t h a n are received by any other division of government.
Percent relation of revenue receipts to governmental-cost payments.—Of t h e
t o t a l revenue receipts of t h e 310 cities covered by this report, 70.4 percent was
required for meeting p a y m e n t s for operation a n d maintenance, 11.7 percent
was required for meeting interest p a y m e n t s , a n d t h e remainder, 17.9 percent,
was available for outlays or other purposes.
T h e last five columns of table 5 show t h e percent of governmental-cost p a y m e n t s applied on operation and maintenance of general d e p a r t m e n t s , operation
a n d m a i n t e n a n c e of public service enterprises, interest, a n d outlays, and the percent of t h e t o t a l governmental costs t h a t were represented by revenue receipts.
For 117 of t h e 310 cities t h e revenue receipts were greater t h a n t h e governmentalcost p a y m e n t s , while for t h e remaining 193 cities t h e revenues were not sufficient
to m e e t t h e costs of t h e year for operation, maintenance, interest, and outlays.
Comparative summary of the percent distribution of net revenue receipts of
146 cities for specified years: 1903-31.—Table X I , which follows, shows t h e
percent distribution of t h e net revenue receipts of t h e 146 cities covered by t h e
census reports for specified years from 1903 to 1931, inclusive. T h e headings of
t h e columns differ somewhat from those of table 5, owing t o slight differences in
t h e tables for n e t revenues in t h e earlier and later reports. T h e percentages are
based upon t h e absolute a m o u n t s of net revenue receipts t a b u l a t e d in t h e reports




38

FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES

for t h e several years, a n d t h a t basis differs somewhat from t h e basis for t h e percentages of table 5 by being exclusive of service a n d interest transfers. T h e
figures for t h e several years are n o t in all cases strictly comparable, since those
for t h e years 1903 to 1907 are computed upon t h e basis of reports which in some
columns include a m o u n t s received in error t h a t were later refunded. A careful
investigation shows t h a t this noncomparability exaggerates for t h e years 1903
t o 1907 t h e percentages for t h e general property taxes t o t h e extent of less t h a n
1 percent. This exaggeration reduces t h e percentages of most of t h e other
columns, t h e t o t a l exaggeration a n d reduction being for a n y given year n o t far
from one-half of 1 percent.

presents definitions of these terms. With t h e exception of receipts from court
fines a n d forfeits, t h e a m o u n t of revenue from these sources is for most cities
comparatively small.
TABLE 7
Receipts from subventions and grants.—The t o t a l a m o u n t received as subventions a n d grants from other civil divisions was $188,913,344, of which 84.2
percent was for education.
Receipts from donations.—The receipts from donations from p r i v a t e individuals a n d corporations, given in table 7, are arranged in three classes: Those
for (1) operation and maintenance, (2) outlays, and (3) principal of public t r u s t
funds.
Receipts for operation a n d maintenance include donations for t h e benefit of
schools and libraries, parks, a n d other recreational purposes, hospitals, a n d h e a l t h
d e p a r t m e n t s , for charities, and for pensions.
Receipts for outlays represent contributions to t h e city for t h e purchase or
construction of educational a n d recreational facilities, of hospital e q u i p m e n t ,
drinking fountains, a n d of memorials to heroes.
Receipts for establishing or adding to t h e principal of public t r u s t funds wrere
reported by numerous cities a n d were for such purposes as policemen's, firemen's,
a n d teachers' retirement, park, school, library, or hospital e n d o w m e n t , a n d
relief of poor.
Receipts from pension assessments.—Receipts from pension assessments
are reported by more t h a n 80 percent of t h e cities a n d are arranged in four
classes, t h e largest contributions being from school employees.
TABLE 8
Receipts from highway privileges.—Among the receipts from highway privileges are those from steam a n d street railroads for t h e privilege of using t h e
streets for t h e t r a n s p o r t a t i o n of freight or passengers, a n d those from electric
light a n d power companies, wTater, telegraph, a n d telephone companies, a n d h e a t
distribution a n d refrigeration companies for t h e privilege of placing wires, pipes,
poles, a n d other equipment in, under, over, or across t h e streets, incident to t h e
conduct of their business of furnishing public utilities. Under this heading are
included, also, a m o u n t s received by t h e cities for such privileges as to m a i n t a i n
vaults under t h e sidewalk, to use portions of the street for storing building m a t e rials, a n d to extend awnings or show windows beyond t h e building line.
Receipts from rents of investment properties.—The receipts from r e n t s t a b u lated in table 8 comprise all a m o u n t s collected as compensation for t h e use of
lands or other property not employed for general d e p a r t m e n t a l purposes. These
receipts are separated into three classes—those from t h e properties of sinking
funds, public t r u s t funds, and those from s\\ other properties.
Receipts from interest.—Table 8 includes all interest receipts of t h e general
t r e a s u r y a n d of t h e separate funds of t h e cities covered by this report except (1)
receipts of interest on taxes and special assessments, a n d (2) receipts of accrued
interest on original loans.




DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES

45

T h e first column of the interest section of table 8 shows t h e t o t a l revenue
receipts from i n t e r e s t — t h a t is, t h e t o t a l receipts from interest, less receipts in
error later corrected by refund p a y m e n t s , and accrued interest on original sales
of debt obligations. These revenue receipts are arranged in four groups—those
received by sinking funds, by public t r u s t funds, by investment funds a n d from
investments, a n d those received on current deposits. With t h e interest here^
t a b u l a t e d are t h e receipts of sinking funds, public t r u s t funds, a n d investment
funds t h a t were paid by t h e divisions of t h e city government to these funds as
interest on their debt obligations held as investments. T h e aggregate of such
interest transfer receipts was $47,275,919, of which $21,753,844, or 46 percent,
was reported by New York, N . Y . If this aggregate be deducted from the total
interest receipts there remains $33,492,793, which is t h e actual interest, or t h a t
received from t h e public by t h e 310 cities in 1931.
TABLE 9
Character of receipts tabulated as from general departmental earnings.—
American municipalities realize considerable a m o u n t s of revenue from fees,
charges, rents, sales, a n d allied sources. T h e revenues from these sources are
w h a t economists call contractual as distinguished from compulsory revenues,
t a b u l a t e d in tables 2 a n d 6 as taxes, special assessments, a n d fines. They involve
t h e exchange of equivalents by which cities receive cash in r e t u r n for a benefit
granted in t h e form of service, rents, or objects sold.
T h e receipts of t h e general d e p a r t m e n t s from fees a n d charges include all
a m o u n t s received b y t h e cities as compensation for services rendered to t h e payers
by the general d e p a r t m e n t s of t h e cities, whether the services were clerical in
character, t h e compensation for which is called " f e e " , or were other t h a n clerical,
t h e compensation for which is called a " c h a r g e . "
As receipts from rents there are included in table 9 only a m o u n t s received for
t h e use of real p r o p e r t y employed principally for d e p a r t m e n t a l uses.
As receipts from sales there are included receipts from t h e sale of discarded
equipment a n d materials where t h e p a y m e n t s for replacement a n d renewal are
classified as for maintenance. Similar sales on outlay account are classified as
nonrevenue receipts.
Certain receipts from sources other t h a n those above described are classed as
d e p a r t m e n t a l , t h e principal item being a m o u n t s received as insurance to cover
losses by fire in cases where t h e repair of fire damages is charged to maintenance.
Receipts from insurance where t h e repair of damages is charged to outlay are
classified as offsets t o outlays, or nonrevenue receipts.
Classification of general departmental receipts.—The total a m o u n t of receipts
from fees, charges, rents, sales, and allied sources is shown in this report, and
also its distribution t o t h e divisions of government by which t h e services were
rendered. These divisions correspond to t h e classification employed in t a b u lating the general d e p a r t m e n t a l p a y m e n t s for operation a n d maintenance, and
outlays, as given in tables 11 a n d 16.
TABLE 10
Public-service enterprises.—In t h e text of table 2 will be found a definition
of t h e t e r m public-service enterprise as used by t h e Bureau of t h e Census.
T h e statistics of municipally operated public-service enterprises are for most
cities defective because of t h e fact t h a t their accounts are not completely segregated, and t h e enterprises are not credited with all t h e revenues arising from
their activities nor debited with all t h e p a y m e n t s chargeable t o them. For
example, t h e y m a y not be credited with t h e interest earned on their funds on
current deposit nor charged with t h e interest on their bonds. And in m a n y
cases they are not credited for utilities furnished or services rendered by t h e m
to t h e various d e p a r t m e n t s a n d to other public-utility enterprises of the city.
Receipts of public-service enterprises.—The receipts shown in table 10 for
t h e different classes of public-service enterprises include all revenue receipts of
these enterprises recorded in t h e city books, with t h e exception of interest on
current deposits.
T h e a m o u n t s reported in t h e column headed "All o t h e r " were received
principally from ferries, toll bridges, street railways, gas-supply systems, h a r b o r
towage a n d pilotage, land development, and farms.

FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES
TABLE 11

Payments for expenses, or operation and maintenance, of general departments.—In table 11 are presented statistics showing p a y m e n t s for t h e operation
a n d m a i n t e n a n c e of t h e various cities during 1930 for objects or purposes other
t h a n t h e operation a n d maintenance of public-service enterprises, which are classified b y t h e Bureau of t h e Census as expenses of general d e p a r t m e n t s . Such p a y m e n t s constitute b y far t h e most i m p o r t a n t class of p a y m e n t s for t h e costs of
municipal governments, comprising 55.4 percent of t h e total p a y m e n t s for
governmental costs, as shown in table 5. T h e y are given in table 11 in sufficient
detail to show the relative expenses of t h e several d e p a r t m e n t s and branches
of work in each city a n d to provide d a t a for comparing the expense p a y m e n t s
for a given object in one city with t h e corresponding p a y m e n t s in other cities.
These p a y m e n t s are arranged in nine general groups or divisions to each of
which is given a specific designation, and t h e p a y m e n t s recorded in each of these
divisions are subdivided according to specific purpose. In making comparisons
of t h e d a t a for individual cities from table 11 it should be noted t h a t while t h e
p a y m e n t s shown for t h e main groups of d e p a r t m e n t s or divisions are fairly
accurate, a n d hence comparable, those for some of the individual objects of
expenditure are less exact. For example, a large n u m b e r of cities m a d e p a y m e n t s
in 1931 for checking t h e spread of tuberculosis a n d for the care of p a t i e n t s suffering
from t h a t disease. An effort wTas m a d e to include all p a y m e n t s of this class
a m o n g those of t h e health d e p a r t m e n t as p a r t of the t o t a l p a y m e n t s for t h e
prevention and cure of communicable diseases. For most cities all these p a y m e n t s are t a b u l a t e d as for the health d e p a r t m e n t , b u t in several cases some of
t h e m are included with p a y m e n t s for outdoor poor relief and for hospitals.
Imperfect statements of expenses, or payments for operation and maintenance.—In the last column of several of t h e divisions of table 11 are t a b u l a t e d
p a y m e n t s t h a t could not be distributed to anyone of the more specific columns
of t h e division, owing to imperfect local accounts.
Payments classified as miscellaneous.—In most instances t h e column headings
of this division reveal clearly the n a t u r e of t h e p a y m e n t s t a b u l a t e d under each.
Under t h e heading " Unclassified" are t a b u l a t e d those p a y m e n t s t h a t are not
assignable to any specific classification of any of the divisions. T h e a m o u n t s
included in t h e column " U n d i s t r i b u t e d " are, with few exceptions, those which
with perfect accounting for statistical reports would be distributed to t h e various
other columns of t h e table. The a m o u n t s so t a b u l a t e d represent (1) undist r i b u t e d p a y m e n t s for incidental operating plants which are sometimes referred
to as municipal-service enterprises, such as electric-light plants, heating plants,
a n d garages; a n d (2) incidental operating plants not classified as municipal-service
enterprises, and such other p a y m e n t s for accounts with d e p a r t m e n t s of supplies,
purchasing agent, insurance, printing, advertising, and similar accounts as can
not be distributed.
Exceptional payments by Massachusetts cities.—The State of Massachusetts
has established for the benefit of a n u m b e r of cities and towns certain m e t r o politan districts in and about Boston for t h e purchase and improvement of parks
a n d for t h e construction a n d m a i n t e n a n c e of sewers and waterworks. T h e cities
a n d towns benefited are charged with t h e costs of maintaining t h e properties
a n d public improvements acquired, including t h e interest on loans m a d e by t h e
S t a t e for t h e original outlays, a n d are required to m a k e contributions to t h e S t a t e
sinking fund for t h e redemption of t h e debt incurred by t h e S t a t e for their
benefit. Other p a y m e n t s to t h e Commonwealth of the same general n a t u r e are
those for t h e abolition of grade crossings.
Comparative summary of payments for operation and maintenance of the
general departments of 146 cities for specified years: 1903-31.—In table X V
which follows, there is presented, by principal divisions of t h e d e p a r t m e n t s of
city government, a s u m m a r y of t h e net p a y m e n t s for general d e p a r t m e n t a l
operation a n d maintenance, or expenses, of 146 cities for specified years from
1903 to 1931, inclusive. In compiling this table certain changes have been m a d e
in t h e t a b u l a t i o n presented in reports for years prior to 1911, t h e t r e a t m e n t of
pensions in those years being different from t h a t of later years. T h e changes
referred to result in p a y m e n t s for pensions being shown under " M i s c e l l a n e o u s "
instead of under the d e p a r t m e n t s affected.

An examination of table X V shows t h a t t h e t o t a l general d e p a r t m e n t a l p a y m e n t s for operation a n d maintenance of t h e 146 cities increasea in each of t h e
periods, t h e average a n n u a l increase for t h e period 1903 to 1931 being $58,925,148,
while for t h e last 9 years of t h a t period it was $85,820,724.
TABLE 12
Payments for expenses, or operation and maintenance, of the principal general
departments—Total and per capita.—In table 12 are presented t h e governmentalcost p a y m e n t s , t o t a l a n d per capita, for operation a n d m a i n t e n a n c e of all d e p a r t m e n t s other t h a n public-service enterprises, arranged in most cases according to
nine main groups of municipal d e p a r t m e r t s , offices, and accounts, b u t in a fewcases showing separately t h e p a y m e n t s for t h e more i m p o r t a n t individual d e p a r t ments, sucn as police a n d fire d e p a r t m e n t s and scnools.
Payments for operation and maintenance increasing with population of cities.—
G r o u p I shows t h e highest per capita figures for all p a y m e n t s included in t h e
table, groups I I , I I I , IV, and V following in the order named. T h e figures for
indiviaual cities of t n e different groups show striking variations because of the
factors other t h a n population wtiich influence operation and maintenance payments.
T h e per capita p a y m e n t s for general governmental operation a n d maintenance
in cities of groups I a n d I I are larger t h a n they otherwise would be because of
t h e fact t h a t New York, N.Y., Philadelphia, Pa., St. Louis, Mo., Baltimore,

functions in these cities and in other cities of groups I and I I 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 the city payments, as has been explained in the discussion of table 2, page 13.
Comparative summary of the per capita net payments for operation and maintenance of the principal general departments of all cities for specified years:
1903-31.—In table XVI, which follows, are shown the per capita payments for
operation and maintenance of the individual departments other than publicservice enterprises of all cities having a population of over 30,000 for specified
years from 1903 to 1931.
The total per capita net payments for operation and maintenance other than
those of public-service enterprises increased from $13.19 in 1903 to $48.65 in
1931, or 268.8 percent.

DESCEIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES

TABLE 13
Percent distribution of payments for expenses, or operation and maintenance,
of the principal general departments, by object of payment.—Table 13 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 enterprises. This distribution represents broadly the relative
importance of the principal classes of payments for the several cities and groups
of cities.
For the 310 cities as a whole, for each population group, ana for each city
inaividually the payments for schools constituted the largest single item of
expenditures.

PAYMENTS FOR OUTLAYS

F r o m 1903 t o 1931 t h e receipts from t h e revenues of water-supply systems of
these 146 cities increased $132,224,694, or 307.6 percent, while their p a y m e n t s
for operation a n d maintenance increased $62,586,120, or 358.7 percent. T h e
p a y m e n t s for operation a n d maintenance a m o u n t e d to 40.6 percent of the receipts
from revenue in 1903 a n d 45.7 percent in 1931. T h e increase in the revenue
receipts a n d p a y m e n t s for operation a n d maintenance a n d outlays of t h e watersupply systems" of t h e 146 cities during specified periods from 1903 to 1931, as
shown in t h e preceding s t a t e m e n t , is illustrated b y diagram 10.
Of t h e Massachusetts cities of over 30,000 i n h a b i t a n t s , about one-third are in
t h e metropolitan water district a n d obtain water for their several systems from
t h e metropolitan w a t e r system. T h e metropolitan water system is operated by
t h e State, a n d all costs of construction, extension, a n d maintenance are apportioned among t h e municipalities benefited. These costs are annually apportioned
among t h e various cities a n d towns in three p a r t s : (1) For t h e accumulation of
sinking funds to redeem bonds issued for t h e construction or extension of t h e
metropolitan system, (2) for interest on such bonds, a n d (3) for maintenance.
TABLE 15
Payments for interest on city debts.—The interest p a y m e n t s of table 15 are
classified as p a y m e n t s for interest on (1) funded a n d floating debt, (2) special
assessment loans, a n d (3) other debt, including revenue loans a n d miscellaneous
debt obligations. They are all exclusive of p a y m e n t s m a d e in error a n d later
repaid t o t h e city a n d of p a y m e n t s of interest which balance a m o u n t s previously
received as accrued interest on t h e original issue of city debt obligations.
T h e a m o u n t s included in this table in t h e columns headed "All o t h e r " a n d
" O t h e r divisions" are given in detail for t h e various divisions of t h e city governments in t h e column headed " I n t e r e s t " in table 3. Of t h e total a m o u n t
of interest p a y m e n t s , 81.7 percent was reported for city corporations, 10.4 percent for independent school districts, a n d 7.9 percent for other independent
divisions, including certain counties in groups I a n d I I .
T h e aggregate of all interest p a y m e n t s was $400,349,486. Of this amount,
$47,276,926, or 11.9 percent, represents transfers or a m o u n t s of money paid by
t h e various divisions of t h e governments of t h e cities as interest on city securities
held by t h e sinking funds, investment funds, a n d public-trust funds.
F r o m t h e classification of interest according to t h e kind of debt obligation on
which paid, it appears t h a t 85.8 percent of t h e t o t a l interest p a y m e n t s was on




funded and floating debt, 7.4 percent on special assessment loans, and 6.8 percent
on revenue loans and miscellaneous debt obligations.
The interest on special-assessment loans is seldom paid from collections 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 the bonds for the amortization of which the installment is collected.
Exceptional payments for interest by Massachusetts cities.—In the discussion
of table 11 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 construction 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 changes required for the abolition of grade
crossings, and such interest payments are included in table 15 on the lines for
the several cities.
TABLE 16
Payments for outlays.—The payments for outlays presented in table 16
comprise the amounts paid by the several cities for the acquisition and construction of more or less permanent properties and public improvements, including
payments for additions made to those previously acquired or constructed, but
exclusive of payments in error and 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 310 cities reported
amounted to $935,725,782. The increase in net debt, as shown in table 18, was
$366,698,348. The governmental-cost payments for outlays, therefore, exceeded
the increase in net debt by $569,027,434.
This shows that for the 310 cities as a whole the increase in net debt during
the year amounted to 39.2 percent of the governmental-cost payments for new
properties and public improvements. Comparisons made in years prior to 1925
were based on increase in gross debt.
TABLE 17
Amount of specified assets and value of public properties at close of year.—
Table 17 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 government of the municipality, whether the funds were administered by the principal 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 securities are shown only in table 17. 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 securities 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 securities 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 to the amount equaling the purchase price of the securities.
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 practically 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
income 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 their independent divisions. Table 17 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 heading "Assets in investment funds, and miscellaneous investments" are shown all
assets of funds other than sinking and trust funds and all interest-bearing securities
and investments other than 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 included as miscellaneous investment. In some
instances the assets in investment funds consist of bonds or stocks acquired by
the city in consideration of financial aid or grants to railroads or other public
service corporations; in a few instances they consist of real property held for
securing rents or for the 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 investments 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 temporarily
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 creation of a fund from which
fire losses may be paid as they occur. Some of these insurance funds are built
up by the annual appropriation of considerable sums 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, construction,
or equipment of buildings or other permanent properties of the municipality,
which are invested during the period of accumulation are also treated as investment funds. Table 17 shows the amount of assets of all such funds as are described above, including those of the city corporation and those of all independent
divisions of government which constitute parts of the governing organizations of
the municipalities.
Cash in general treasury and general administrative funds.—General administrative 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 17 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.
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 obligations
on private trust accounts, of which these assets constitute a part, are no longer
included in table 18 as an item in the gross debt of the cities.
The figures in the last column of table 17 represent the total value of public
properties. The term public properties as here used comprises the land belonging
to the city and used for municipal purposes, together with all the structures upon
such land, including buildings and machinery and all appliances and equipment
used for carrying on the work of the city departments and the various public
service and municipal service enterprises operated by the city. The term public
properties is to be distinguished from public improvements, a term employed by
the Census Bureau in referring to those permanent structures which are used by
the cities for community purposes, and which have a value in use but not in
exchange.

FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES
TABLE 18

Gross and net indebtedness of cities.—Table 18 shows b o t h the gross a n d
net indebtedness a t t h e close of t h e year reported for all cities of over 30,000
population. T h e t e r m "gross i n d e b t e d n e s s " is here used as t h e designation of t h e
aggregate of all outstanding debt obligations, a n d t h e t e r m " n e t i n d e b t e d n e s s " is
used as t h e designation of t h e t o t a l of t h e a m o u n t s representing t h e funded a n d
floating debt, less t h e assets of sinking funds accumulated for their amortization.
Sinking-fund assets accumulated for t h e amortization of special assessment debt,
where t h e y could be identified as such, were excluded from t h e calculation.
Indebtedness classified by governmental unit by which incurred.—The table
shows separately t h e gross debt of t h e city corporations and of t h e independent
school districts, while t h e t o t a l debt of other governmental units is shown in a
single column. Included in t h e d a t a appearing in t h e column headed " O t h e r
governmental units of c i t y " are p a r t s of t h e debts of the counties in which certain
cities of groups I and I I are located. T h e object sought to be a t t a i n e d by their
inclusion is stated in t h e text for table 2. There is included, also, the debt or a
percentage of the debt of such other independent divisions of municipal governm e n t as park, sanitary, port, water, and i m p r o v e m e n t districts.
Indebtedness classified by character of outstanding debt obligation.—The
indebtedness of t h e municipalities is classified by character of obligation under
four principal headings: " F u n d e d or fixed", " F l o a t i n g " , "Special assessment
bonds a n d certificates", and " C u r r e n t . " C u r r e n t indebtedness is classified under
two subheadings: " R e v e n u e bonds a n d n o t e s " a n d " W a r r a n t s . "
In years previous to 1925 current debt carried a third s u b h e a d i n g — " O b l i g a tions on t r u s t account." B u t inasmuch as b u t few cities recognize these obligations as p a r t of their indebtedness, such a m o u n t s are no longer included in t h e
totals of gross debt. And, as has been noted in the text discussion of table 17,
t h e assets belonging to private t r u s t funds, which are an offset to obligations on
private t r u s t account, have been eliminated from t h e s t a t e m e n t of t h e assets of
t h e cities. T h e kinds of debt included under each of t h e major headings are
described in t h e p a r a g r a p h s which follow.
Funded or fixed indebtedness.—Funded or fixed debt includes all d e b t s
evidenced by formal instruments which have a n u m b e r of years to run a n d for
t h e amortization of which no assets other t h a n those of sinking funds have as
yet been specifically authorized or appropriated. T h e debts of this class are called
corporation stock, bonds, certificates, serial notes, serial bonds, a n d mortgages.
Floating indebtedness.—Floating debt includes (1) all debts evidenced by
revenue bonds, warrants, a n d accounts payable, to be redeemed from t h e levies
of a succeeding year; (2) all debts evidenced by short-term bonds to be redeemed
from t h e proceeds of long-term obligations; (3) all final j u d g m e n t s against t h e
city, o u t s t a n d i n g a t t h e close of the year; and (4) all indebtedness to public
t r u s t funds a n d private t r u s t funds due to t h e conversion to general public uses
of all or a p a r t of the money or other property received for creating public t r u s t
funds or p e r m a n e n t private t r u s t funds, where t h e city assumes t h e a n n u a l p a y m e n t of interest on t h e a m o u n t s so converted without issuing to t h e funds its
formal bonds or certificates of indebtedness.
Special assessment indebtedness.—Special assessment loans include all socalled bonds, certificates, and other short-term obligations issued or incurred with
t h e understanding t h a t they are to be paid wholly or in p a r t from t h e proceeds
of special assessments.
Current indebtedness.—Under t h e general t e r m " c u r r e n t " are included t h e
d e b t s of all kinds except those described above as funded, floating, a n d special
assessment. T h e y are shown in the table under t h e two heads described below.
Revenue bonds and notes.—Revenue loans include all interest-bearing shortt e r m obligations, other t h a n so-called serial bonds, t h a t have a fixed d a t e of
redemption or are m a d e payable at a d a t e in t h e discretion of t h e city from t h e
proceeds of a levy made, or to be made, in t h e year of their issue. These obligations are popularly known as revenue bonds, revenue loans, anticipation t a x
loans, anticipation tax warrants, t e m p o r a r y loans, and interest-bearing w a r r a n t s .
Overdrafts upon banks by t h e various divisions and funds of t h e city are classified
as revenue loans.
Warrants.—Under t h e heading " W a r r a n t s " are t a b u l a t e d all noninterestbearing w a r r a n t s , orders a n d audits in t h e n a t u r e of w a r r a n t s outstanding a t
t h e close of t h e year, except those specifically called tax w a r r a n t s or anticipation
tax warrants.
Indebtedness classified by creditor.—Under this general heading t h e t o t a l gross
d e b t included in table 18 is separated into two classes, t h a t which was owing (1)

DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES

to t h e public, and (2) to city funds with investments. In t h e column headed
" C i t y funds with i n v e s t m e n t s " is included the par value of all city securities held
by sinking, public trust, and investment funds. Of t h e t o t a l debt, $1,304,965,246
or 13.6 percent, was held by the three classes of funds mentioned. I n t h e column
headed " T h e p u b l i c " is included t h e p a r value of all other city debt obligations
outstanding.
Indebtedness classified by purpose for which incurred.—A t h i r d classification
of table 18 segregates debt obligations of cities into debts incurred for (1) the
purposes of general d e p a r t m e n t s and municipal service enterprises, and (2) t h e
purposes of public service enterprises and investments. T h e revenues derived
by most cities from public service enterprises and investments are sufficient to
meet t h e interest accruing on debts of this class. These debts, as a rule, do not
rest as burdens upon t h e general taxpayers, b u t are paid from revenues derived
from those specially benefited.
Increase during the year in two classes of debt and in sinking fund assets.—
Under t h e general title " I n c r e a s e during t h e year in — " there are given under
descriptive headings t h e increase in (1) t h e t o t a l funded and floating debt, (2) the
sinking fund assets, a n d (3) t h e net debt. Of t h e 310 cities covered by this
report 155 showed decreases during the year in net debt, b u t t h e aggregate increase
in net d e b t for t h e year was $366,698,348.
Per capita indebtedness.—In t h e columns headed " P e r c a p i t a " there are given
t h e per capita of (1) t h e total gross debt, (2) the gross debt incurred for general
d e p a r t m e n t s and municipal service enterprises, (3) t h e gross d e b t incurred for
public service enterprises and investments, and (4) the net debt. T h e figures
given in t h e column referred to under (1) are, in t h e case of each city, the sum of
those given in t h e columns referred to under (2) and (3). No segregation of net
indebtedness corresponding to t h a t given of gross indebtedness was practicable.
T h e following s t a t e m e n t shows for 146 cities t h e gross debt, total, and per
capita, a t t h e close of t h e year for specified years from 1903 to 1931.
I n t h e years prior to 1925 t h e a m o u n t of obligations on t r u s t account was
included as a p a r t of t h e gross debt, b u t t h e s t a t e m e n t has been revised by
eliminating t h e a m o u n t of such obligations for t h e years shown.

T h e t e r m s " n e t i n d e b t e d n e s s " and " n e t d e b t " as here used differ materially
from t h e use of t h e terms in some of t h e preceding reports for cities having a
population of over 30,000. I n t h e reports for t h e years 1902 to 1908, inclusive,
t h e Bureau of t h e Census applied the t e r m " n e t d e b t " to t h e t o t a l outstanding
obligation of cities, less t h a n t h e a m o u n t of sinking fund assets. T h e net d e b t so
computed seldom represented t h e actual net debt because t h e computation did
not t a k e account of t h e assets of cities provided for t h e redemption of current
debt which for those years included special assessment bonds and certificates,
revenue bonds and notes, warrants, a n d t r u s t liabilities.
Recognizing this fact, t h e Bureau of t h e Census in its report for fiscal years
subsequent to 1908 applied t h e terms " n e t funded and floating d e b t " , " n e t
i n d e b t e d n e s s " , and " n e t d e b t " to t h e difference between t h e gross funded and
floating d e b t and those sinking fund assets which had been specifically provided
for t h e amortization of such debt. I n computing the net indebtedness for the
years 1912 and 1913, t h e total sinking fund assets were deducted from t h e gross
funded a n d floating debt, b u t for all years other t h a n those noted above such
assets of sinking funds as were provided for t h e amortization of special assessment
debt were excluded from t h e calculation.
T h e following table a n d diagrams 11 a n d 12 present for 146 cities a comparative
s u m m a r y of funded or fixed and floating debt, sinking fund assets, a n d net debt,
total and per capita, a t t h e close of t h e year for specified years from 1903 to 1931.

TABLE 19
Funded, floating, and special assessment indebtedness, classified by purpose
for which incurred.—Table 19 presents a s u m m a r y of t h a t portion of t h e t o t a l
city indebtedness to which, in t h e text description of table 18, has been given
t h e designation " f u n d e d a n d floating d e b t " , a n d "special assessment bonds a n d
certificates", classified according t o t h e reported purpose for which t h e outstanding obligations were issued.
T h e classification for m a n y cities is more or less imperfect, owing to t h e m e t h o d s
of recording d e b t in t h e financial books of those cities. T h e classes of d e b t
obligations b y purpose for which issued t h a t are m o s t accurately shown for all
cities are those for t h e water-supply a n d lighting systems.
Bonds issued under such t e r m s as local improvement, street improvement, a n d
general i m p r o v e m e n t have, so far as possible, been t a b u l a t e d under t h e m o r e
descriptive headings of t h e table, a n d only when such t a b u l a t i o n was impossible
have t h e y been t a b u l a t e d as for " c o m b i n e d or unreported p u r p o s e s . "
Issues of bonds described as " r e f u n d i n g " a n d " f u n d i n g " h a v e been classified
according to t h e purpose of t h e original or replaced loan if these purposes could
be discovered without a too extended search of t h e earlier records.
Whenever t h e purpose of t h e original issues was not disclosed t h e a m o u n t s of
refunding a n d funding bonds h a v e been t a b u l a t e d as for " c o m b i n e d or unreported
purposes."
T h e a m o u n t s shown in t h e column " R e f u n d i n g " are a n exhibit of obligations
issued to redeem funded debt obligations a n d those in t h e column " F u n d i n g ' '
are an exhibit of obligations issued to redeem judgments, revenue loans, w a r r a n t s ,
a n d other t e m p o r a r y obligations.
TABLE 20
Assessed valuation of property.—The valuations given in table 20 are those
of property which is subject to t h e general property t a x for t h e uses of the divisions of t h e governments of t h e cities covered by this report a n d of property
within these cities t h a t is subject to taxation for uses of t h e State, county, a n d
minor civil divisions. I n certain cities t h e city valuations differ somewhat from
t h e valuations on which S t a t e a n d county taxes are levied. This difference
results largely from t h e fact t h a t certain classes of property, especially property
of corporations, are in certain States subject to S t a t e a n d county taxation, b u t
t h e valuation of such property does not appear in t h e report of property taxed
for city purposes. I n some instances t h e assessed valuation of an independent
division of t h e government of a city, such as a school or park district, differs
from t h a t of t h e city corporation. These differences are due to (1) difference in
t h e areas of t h e city corporation a n d t h e independent division, t h e independent
divisions in certain cities including territory outside t h e city limits, while in
others t h e y include only a portion of t h e territory within t h e cities; or (2) different bases of assessment, where t h e city makes an assessment of p r o p e r t y for its
own levy, while t h e independent district through its own board of assessors
makes an independent assessment of t h e same property.
I n examining t h e figures of table 20 relating to assessed valuations it should
be noted t h a t those on a line designated as for city, State, county, or other civil
divisions represent t h e assessed valuation of t h e p r o p e r t y within t h e territory

OF

CITIES

included in the jurisdiction of the city corporation, and which is subject to taxation for the maintenance of that corporation. 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 subject 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.
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 2.)
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 classification. Where
such property is given a separate classification and is taxed for city purposes
the valuation given it 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 insufficient for a more complete
tabulation.
Total and per capita tax levies.—The amounts given in the last column under
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. 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 4, 12, and 18.
It will be observed that for the cities of California, Delaware, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, and Tennessee there is no line shown for "Government of State."
In these five States there was no levy of the general property tax for State
purposes.
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.
In the case of cities in which taxes are levied at two or more rates in different
divisions of the city or on different classes of property in the same division of
government, the figures shown in table 20 for the city as a whole represent average
rates based on the total levy and the total assessed valuation of property within
the corporation, the specific rates of levy for the various divisions of the government or classes of property of such cities being given in table XX.
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 in different
sections or upon different classes of property. So far as the data collected were
sufficiently definite to make the needed exhibit, such data have been arranged
in table XX, which follows, so as to show for each portion of the city or class
of property in the cities last referred to the assessed valuations of the property
taxed at each rate and the amount of taxes levied at such rates.
