LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR,
BUBEAU OP THE CENSUS,
Washington, D. C, February 1, WIS,
SIR:
I have the honor to transmit herewith the annual report onfinancialstatistics of cities having a population
of over 30,000 in 1910, this being the ninth annual report on this subject prepared by the Bureau of the Census.
The statistical tables contained in this report show in detail the financial transactions of the municipal
governments, their indebtedness and assets, and the assessed valuation of taxed property. The statistics on
financial transactions are analyzed and so presented as to show, both for the whole city and for its important
departments, the net costs of conducting the city's business, together with the net revenue collected and the
indebtedness incurred for meeting these costs. The rapid increase in the cost of city government and the great
interest now taken in city affairs by the general public make .these statistics of great importance at the present
time. In connection with the financial statistics, the report presents a discussion of accounting terminology,
with the hope that the continued consideration of this important subject may lead to greater uniformity in the
use of technical accounting terms.
The report was prepared by Le Grand Powers, chief statistician forfinanceand municipal statistics, assisted
by Morris J. Hole, Starke M. Grogan, and Lemuel A. Carruthers, whose efficient work in the preparation of
the report it is desired to acknowledge.
Very respectfully,
&fo
Director of the Census.
Hon. CHARLES NAGEL,
Secretary of Commerce and Labor

comptroller or auditor, the treasurer's books are used
as the basis. The reason for using the accounts of the
comptroller in preference to those of the treasurer is
twofold: (1) The treasurer's books do not ordinarily
classify payments by object or receipts by source, as
do the comptroller's or auditor's, and it is only from
exhibits" of transactions so classified that significant
statistics can be compiled; (2) in most cities the war
rants, orders, or audits recorded in the comptroller's
or auditor's books for a given fiscal period represent
for that period more nearly than do the payments
recorded in the books of the treasurer the costs of
government (which constitute the most important
part of the census statistics of financial transactions),
for the reason that as a general rule some of the war
rants, orders, or audits issued or recorded in or for any
given period are not paid until a subsequent period.
The comptroller's or auditor's books, therefore, con
stitute a more satisfactory source of data for statistics
designed to show the cost of operating individual
departments and offices and of acquiring and con
structing the several classes of properties or public
improvements or for computing the unit cost of serv
ices rendered or improvements constructed or acquired,
such as the cost of education per pupil in the public
schools or of the construction or care and maintenance
of a particular class of paved highways per thousand
square yards of surface.
The reports and accounts of the comptroller or
auditor, while constituting the primary basis of the
financial statistics compiled by the Bureau of the
Census, do not of themselves, as a rule, furnish all the
data required for a complete record of the financial
transactions of any individual city for a given fiscal
period. For the purpose of obtaining such a record,
setting forth fully both the costs of government for
the given period and their relation to the receipts of
cash during that period and the cash on hand at its
beginning and close, the Bureau of the Census com
bines with the treasurer's statement of cash on hand
at the beginning and close of the year, and the comp
troller's statement of cash receipts and warrants or
orders drawn or bills audited during the current
year, statements of warrants or audits paid in the cur
rent year but drawn or audited in previous years, and
of those drawn or audited in the current year but
remaining unpaid at its close.
In some of the cities whose affairs are administered
by a single municipal corporation allfinancialtransac
tions are centralized and recorded in the comptroller's
or auditor's office, and a complete statement can be
compiled from his records. In other cities of this
character the comptroller or auditor has authority
over and records only a part of the financial transac
tions, and the final responsibility for other accounts is
divided among several officers or boards. In these
cities the Bureau of the Census secures statements
from the records of each officer or board having such
3TICS OF CITIES.
final responsibility, and the statistics that it presents
are obtained by consolidating these statements.
Differences in methods of conducting business.—The
.data relating to financial transactions secured for
the different cities from the books of comptrollers
and treasurers, as described above, will not always
be comparable, owing to differences in methods
of conducting business. They.will be uniformly com
parable only in the case of those cities with meth
ods of transacting business which guarantee the
recording of governmental costs in the fiscal year to
which those costs relate. In all other cases their
comparability will depend upon the extent to which
the deferred accounts of different years are in like
total amounts and in like amounts for particular func
tional activities. The Bureau of the Census has
hitherto been unable, without the expenditure of
more money and the employment of a larger force
than it has had at its command, to secure truly com
parable statistics for the cities conducting business in
a manner which necessitates the recording of some of
their expenses in years succeeding the one in which
they accrue. It notes with satisfaction, however, that
the last few years have witnessed great improvements
in the business methods of cities, and that the relative
amount of expenses now audited in a fiscal year suc
ceeding the one to which they relate is much less than
it formerly was; and it hopes that the introduction of
better business and accounting methods will in a few
years eliminate the factor of incomparability to which
attention is here called.
Improvement in governmental reports and accounts.—
Since the publication of the first report of the Bureau
of the Census on statistics of municipal finance, many
cities of the United States have greatly improved
the forms of their* financial reports and their
methods of accounting. This improvement has had
two quite different aspects, one a movement toward
uniformity and clarity in published reports, and the
other a movement toward the introduction of accounts
of greater administrative value. The act of Congress in
1898 authorizing the annual collection and publication
of the official statistics of cities containing over 30,000
inhabitants was a recognition of the need and value of
comparable statements of the financial transactions
andfinancialcondition of cities. This act was the out
come of an agitation by those interested in municipal
affairs for securing standard or uniform city reports
and standard or uniform accounts as the basis of those
reports. The same influence led the legislature of
Ohio to pass an act in 1901 requiring the use of uni
form methods of accounting and uniform reports by
the municipalities of that state, and creating a state
office with power to enforce such uniformity and secure
the use of good business methods. Since that time
similar laws have been enacted in New York, Massa
chusetts, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and
Washington. Cooperation between the offices or

commercial terms is fully applicable or significant in
governmental accounting. By reason of this fact
many good accountants and many government offi
cials decline to use them in municipal accounting,
and are inclined to give to a summary of this character
less consideration than it deserves by reason of its
actual economic and administrative value.
The Bureau of the Census, while recognizing the
value of this summary, prefers to speak of the differ
17
ence between the revenues and the expenses and
interest of a city for a given year as "the excess
of revenues over expenses and interest," or vice versa,
and this practice will be followed until some brief
term can be suggested which describes this balance in
municipal accounting as accurately as the term "sur
plus," "revenue surplus," or "current revenue sur
plus" describes the corresponding balance in commer
cial accounting.
RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS.
The most important statistics of municipal finan
cial transactions are those relating to municipal reve
nues and municipal governmental costs, to which
attention has been called in the definitions and state
ments given above. The census statistics relating to
these revenues and costs,-as well as all other census
statistics of financial transactions, are compiled from
data taken, as has already been stated, from the
books of city comptrollers or auditors and city treas
urers. The data thus obtained are primarily those*
of receipts and payments; whence it follows that
the census statistics relating to revenues and govern
mental costs, as well as those relating to other munic
ipal financial transactions, are, broadly speaking,
statistics of receipts and payments. To set forth
clearly the character of these statistics, therefore,
definitions are presented for the terms "receipts"
and "payments" as here used and for the various
classes of receipts and payments recognized by the
Bureau of the Census.
Receipts.—Receipts are primarily amounts of money
or its equivalent, including bills receivable, credits,
services, and forms of material wealth other than
money, that in the conduct of business (1) are taken
in or otherwise placed at the disposal or to the credit
of the recipient; (2) are received for the use, benefit, or
credit of another person, or for some specific purpose,
use, or trust; or (3) are entered in cash or other ac
counts for the purpose of accounting for the acquisition
of assets or the amortization of liabilities. Amounts
of money or its equivalent may be received (1) in
settlement of claims in favor of the recipient, (2) in
ways that give rise to claims against or debts of the
recipient, or (3) in exchange for other forms of wealth.
The greater portion of the receipts whose statistics
are included in this report are those popularly called
"receipts of cash," and are represented by credit
entries in the cash accounts of the city treasurers and
comptrollers or auditors. They include receipts of
money, and also of checks, drafts, and other instru
ments of credit. A description of the receipts here
included which are not recorded in local cash accounts
or can not properly be spoken of as "cash receipts"
is given on this page under the heading "Accounting
receipts and payments."
50065°—13

Payments.—Payments are primarily amounts of
money or its equivalent, including bills payable,
credits, services, and forms of material wealth other
than money, that in the conduct of business (1) are
disbursed or otherwise used in the settlement of
claims or for the final discharge of debt liabilities of
the payer; (2) are delivered for the use, benefit, or
credit of specified individuals, or for specific purposes,
such as meeting appropriations or expenditures;
or (3) are entered of record in cash and other
accounts for the purpose of accounting for the dis
posal of assets or the incurring of liabilities.
The payments for which statistics are presented in
this report are in great part those derived from the
books of account of the city comptrollers or auditors.
A few, however, are derived from the books of the
city treasurers. The greater portion of the payments
derived from the books of the comptrollers or auditors
represent warrants or orders drawn by those officials
on the city treasurer in settlement of bills, claims, or
pay rolls, while those derived from the treasurer's books
generally represent the disbursement of cash in satis
faction of the warrants of the comptroller or auditor.
Both classes of payments are *what in the commercial
world are called "cash payments." But to dis
tinguish them, the two classes are here referred to as
the "payments of the comptroller or auditor" and
the "payments of the treasurer," respectively. The
first class of payments are also sometimes spoken of
as warrant payments.
Payments included in this report other than those
above mentioned are described in the succeeding para
graphs under the heading "Accounting receipts and
payments."
Accounting receipts and payments are terms here
applied in referring to amounts that are included in
the census statistics of municipal receipts and pay
ments to permit the presentation of more comparable
statements of governmental costs than could other
wise be presented by such statistics. They comprise
(1) current receipts of services and materials and
receipts of supplies of prior years, the costs of which
constitute parts of the current governmental costs;
(2) current payments on account of the governmental
costs of other years; (3) amounts credited to cash
18
FINANCIAL STA1[TSTICS OF CITIES.
other than those disbursed on warrants; (4) receipts
balancing depreciation charged as expenses; and (5)
other accounting receipts and payments described on
page 19 as "Accounting transfer receipts and pay
ments."
The most important accounting receipts and pay
ments are those employed to adjust the comptroller's
accounts of warrant payments and judgments to the
treasurer's statement of cash balances as shown by
the treasurer's cash account. To make this adjust
ment, the Bureau of the Census includes with its receipts
from the issue of debt obligations accounting receipts
equal to the amount of warrants or audits and judg
ments registered but not satisfied during the year, and
includes with its other payments, accounting payments
equal to the amount of warrants or audits and judg
ments of the previous year that are satisfied during the
year. The accounting receipts thus introduced repre
sent the value of the materials, services, and other
equivalents of cash which were received by the cities
and paid for by the issue of the warrants, together with
the amount of the accrued claims resulting from liti
gation represented by judgments registered, and the
corresponding accounting payments represent the cash
payments made by the treasurer during the year in
liquidation of the warrants and judgments of the pre
ceding year.
A second class of accounting receipts sometimes
included in the census statistics to assist in the prepara
tion of comparable statements of current expenses and
outlays comprises those employed in adjusting the cash
payments for storehouse supplies with the storekeeper's
statement of the value of the supplies delivered by
him on requisition and charged to expense and outlay
accounts, when the total value of the supplies so
charged exceeds the payments for supplies purchased.
The Bureau of the Census makes this adjustment by
including with its other receipts accounting receipts
equal in amount to the excess of the value of the sup
plies delivered on requisition over the total payments
for storehouse supplies. The accounting receipts so
included represent the receipts of supplies in prior
years on account of the governmental costs of the fiscal
year for which the report is made.
A second class of accounting payments included in
the accompanying statistics are those recorded in local
cash accounts which represent losses suffered through
defalcation of city officials, bank failures, and kindred
causes.
A third class of accounting receipts occasionally in
cluded in the census statistics comprises those employed
to assist in the preparation of an accurate statement of
the expenses of municipal service enterprises, when ac
count is taken of the depreciation of their properties
and there are no outlay payments from which to
deduct offsetting depreciation.
Fiscal year of receipts and payments.—Some taxes
and other revenues the receipts from which are included
in this report were levied to meet the appropriations of
preceding years, and may therefore be spoken of as re
ceipts for those years. With these exceptions and the
exception of the accounting receipts described above,
which represent the receipts in prior years of supplies
equal in amount to those charged in the current year as
governmental costs in excess of those paid for during
that year, all receipts included in this report are
receipts for thefiscalyear for which the report is com
piled. Further, all receipts here included, with the
exception of the accounting receipts last mentioned,
were realized during the year to which they relate.
All payments here included are for the fiscal year to
which they relate. They are all made during that
year with the exception of (1) those warrant payments
made after the close of the year for bills audited
before the close, and those made by cities whose comp
trollers or auditors held their books open for a few
days or a month to receive bills for audit; and (2) the
accounting payments balancing the accounting receipts

mentioned in the paragraph above.
Primary classification of municipal receipts and pay
ments.—The primary classification of municipal re
ceipts and payments made use of by the Bureau of
the Census in itsfinancialstatistics of cities, and one
of the most important classifications possible, is a
classification that separates revenue receipts from
other receipts, and governmental cost payments from
other payments, substantially as set forth in the defi
nitions which follow.
Municipal revenue receipts comprise the net amounts
of cash or its equivalent received on revenue account
(1) by a city from the public and (2) by one division,
enterprise, department, or fund of a city from another,
after deducting all amounts which on account of error
or for other reasons have been returned or are to
be returned. Revenue receipts are readily classified
according to the specific source from which they arc
derived, and when thus classified fall into three prin
cipal classes, namely, general revenue receipts, com
mercial revenue receipts, and trust revenue receipts.
These receipts may be further separated into subor
dinate groups and subgroups and given the same desig
nations as have been applied to the corresponding
subordinate classes of revenues (p. 14). These
receipts are summarized in Table 3.
Municipal nonrevenue receipts comprise all receipts
of cities other than municipal revenue receipts as de
fined above. The most important classes of these
receipts are (1) receipts from the issue of municipal
debt obligations, (2) receipts from the sale of invest
ments and supplies, (3) trust and agency receipts, and
(4) counterbalancing receipts.
The receipts included in classes (1) and (2) are suffi
ciently described by their titles; they are shown in
Tables 13 and 14. Those included under (3) are the
amounts which the municipal government receives as

The counterbalancing receipts and payments of a
municipality to which references have been made on
pages 18 and 19 include the amounts of cash or its
equivalent received from and paid to the same indi
vidual, and the amounts received and paid for the
same object in certain specific cases. They are of six
distinct classes, namely: (1) Receipts and payments
which on account of error or for other reasons have
been returned, and the counterbalancing payments
. and receipts in correction or return of the receipts and
payments first mentioned; (2) receipts for accrued
interest on original sales of city securities to the public,
which are balanced by payments for interest at the

first interest payment thereafter; (3) payments for
accrued interest on bonds and other securities pur
chased by funds with investments, which are balanced
by later receipts of interest by the funds purchasing;
(4) receipts from debt obligations issued and assumed
which are balanced by amounts paid for the redemp
tion of debt obligations or liquidation of indebtedness
during the same fiscal period; (5) payments for out
lays which are balanced by receipts from sales of real
property, and receipts from insurance companies on
account of losses by fire; and (6) accounting payments
tabulated as expenses which represent payments for
outlays that are offset by depreciation in the value of
permanent properties. For the sake of brevity the re
ceipts and payments returned for the correction of
error or for other reasons, and referred to under (1),
are frequently given the specific designation of refunds
or refund receipts and payments.
SUMMARIES OF RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS.
Summary of all receipts and payments,—Table 2 of
this report presents for all cities a condensed summary
of the total receipts and payments recorded in the
financial accounts of the several cities. The receipts
and payments are divided into two principal classes—
revenue and nonrevenue receipts and governmental
cost and nongovernmental cost payments. Such a
summary shows the net changes in the amount of cash
in the treasury of the city as the result of all the finan
cial transactions of the year.
Summary of net revenue receipts and net governmental cost payments.—In Table 3 of this report is
presented a classified summary of the net revenue
receipts and the net governmental cost payments.
The table shows as fully as can be done by a state
ment of receipts and payments the results or outcome
of governmental transactions, as already explained
under the heading "Summary of municipal revenues
and governmental costs" (p. 16).
Summary of revenue receipts and payments for ex
penses and interest.—Table 3 also presents a compara
tive exhibit of the revenue receipts and the payments
for expenses and interest. The significance of this
summary in municipal accounting has already been
discussed under the heading "Summary of revenues
and expenses and interest." Taken in connection
with the other data given in the table, the excess of
revenue receipts over payments for expenses and inter
est shows the extent to which the several cities are
meeting their outlays or paying for their permanent
properties and public improvements out of revenues,
and to what extent they are throwing the burden of
such expenditures upon the future.
Summary of budgetary receipts and payments.—A
comparative summary of the receipts and the pay
ments of a given fiscal year in accordance with the
terms of the budget, or annual appropriation act,
is one of the most valuable, from an administrative
point of view, of the summaries of their financial
transactions that can be prepared by individual cities.
An exhibit of such summaries for the different cities,
while of little advantage for direct comparison, would
show the various administrative operations pursued
by cities infinancingthe acquisition of their permanent
properties and the construction of their permanent
improvements, and in providing for the amortization
of their debts. The Bureau of the Census hopes to
present such a summary of municipal receipts and
payments at no distant date.

These include pavements, sidewalks, curbs, bridges,
tunnels, grades and fills for highway purposes, but not
structures for public service enterprises, such as rail
roads, street railways, and revenue earning canals.
Under the designation sewers are included not only the
structures bearing that name, but all structures, such
as manholes and catch basins, forming parts of the
sewer system. Among the public improvements of
governments which do not come under the heading of
highways or sewers are levees, retaining walls, drainage
canals, and unproductive docks and wharves.
When the asset accounts of governments are properly
kept, they will be approximately correct statements
of the value as determined by the cost of reproduction,
or of the value in use, of properties, highways, and
sewers. When, however, those accounts are improp
erly or imperfectly kept, they will not be correct
statements of values, and for that reason they lose
much of their administrative importance and can not
be taken as a basis for a correct judgment concern
ing the financial condition of the government.
Asset and property accounts.—Few cities have any
trustworthy records of the cost or present value of
their properties, and a still smaller number have any
intelligible or trustworthy exhibit of the original cost
of their highways and sewers, or of the present
cost of reproducing them; and few have any definite
statement of the probable amount to be realized from
their uncollected revenues. Some progress has been
made, however, in this branch of accounting during
the last few years. Many factors have contributed
to this result, among these being the fact that the
Bureau of the Census has continuously emphasized
the importance of having correct information with
reference to the value of governmental properties and
public improvements. As a result of the changes
that have taken place in this respect, the bureau has
been able each year to make its statistics of the value
of governmental properties and public improvements
more trustworthy than those of any previous year,
although even now they are confessedly far from per
fect. Statistics of uncollected revenues have not, how
ever, been included in any report, since the data ob
tained with reference to this subject have not been
deemed sufficiently trustworthy to warrant publica
tion. A correct statement of the cash and invest
ments in the possession of a city can be made without
any exhibit of properties and public improvements, or
of uncollected revenues. Summaries of financial con
dition which include on their debit side only exhibits of
cash and investments are not, of course, complete
statements of governmental financial condition, but
they are of far greater administrative value than would
be more pretentious summaries which included incor
rect statements of the value of any of the several
classes of governmental properties and public improve
ments, arid of the amounts likely to be realized from
uncollected revenues. The first requisite in this field
23
is a correct exhibit of values, so far as any such pre
sentation is given at all. The extension of census
statistics into this field may, therefore, with profit be
deferred until approximately correct statements of the
values of properties and public improvements and
reliable estimates of the amounts to be realized from
uncollected revenues have been prepared by the cities.
Municipal liabilities.—Municipal liabilities are pri
marily (1) the obligations of cities to pay or deliver
money or money's worth or to perform specified serv
ices, or (2) their obligations to hold, use, or expend such
wealth for specified purposes, or for the benefit of
specified persons.
Classification of liabilities.—In accounts, liabilities
are represented by credit entries and balances. The
greater number of such entries and balances in the
liability accounts of governments represent the obli
gations above described, which are separable into two
classes called debts and trus ts, or debt liabilities and trust
liabilities. The liability accounts also contain the record
of amounts which represent neither debts nor trusts,
but constitute what are here called nominal liabilities.
Debts, or debt liabilities, are primarily obligations
to pay or deliver money or other wealth, or to render
specified services having a monetary value. These '
terms are also applied to the amounts of money or
money's worth which one person is bound to pay or
render to another.
Debts, or debt liabilities, classified according to the
provisions made for their payment or liquidation, are
called current, funded, and floating debts; classified
according to the time when due or payable, they are
called due and demand liabilities, liabilities not due, and
unadjusted liabilities; and classified according to the
character of the instruments or records which evidence
the debts, they are called bonds, notes payable, war
rants payable, audits payable, and accounts payable.
Current debts, or current debt liabilities, are those
debts or debt liabilities for the payment or liquidation
of which provision is fully made by cash on hand, by
revenues (including special assessments) accrued or
accruing, or by other current assets provided and
appropriated for that specific purpose.
Funded orfixeddebts, or funded orfixeddebt liabilities,
are those debts, evidenced by some formal instrument
or otherwise, which have a number of years to run, or
upon which interest is to be paid in perpetuity, but
for the amortization of which no assets other than
those of sinking funds have been specifically provided
or appropriated. Originally the term "funded debts"
was applied only to those debts for whose amortiza
tion sinking fund provisions had been made; but at
present the term is used more or less interchangeably
with "fixed debts" in speaking of the long-term debt
obligations specifically mentioned above.
Floating debts, or floating debt liabilities, are those
short-term debt obligations for the payment of which
there are no assets in the treasury specifically designated

investments and of the liabilities of the various cities
are published, however, and the preparation of a com
parative statement of assets, properties, public im
provements, proprietary interests, and liabilities, for
all cities, is deferred until such time as reliable data
can be obtained for at least a majority of the cities
concerned.
Summary of liabilities and current and invested
assets.—Many cities present in their annual reports
statements showing on the one side classified exhibits
of their debt and other liabilities, and on the other,
classified statements of the current and invested
resources which are at hand or which have been
authorized for meeting them. In a properly prepared
summary of this kind there should be shown on the
one side the debts of the city and the city's liabilities
growing out of private trusts, contracts, and appro
priations; and on the other, the resources available
for meeting the debts and other liabilities thus listed.
An excess of debts and liabilities over the resources
provided for meeting them shows the extent to which
the city must rely upon the revenues of the future to
pay the past and current costs of government; and
an excess of assets, if such there be, shows to what
extent the revenues of the past are available for meet
ing the future costs of government. The summary
described, to be of the greatest value, should show
clearly what obligations must be met in the immediate
future, and what in the remote future, and the re
sources provided and methods adopted for meeting
both classes of obligations at maturity. Such a sum
mary, though of very great administrative value, sets
forth only a part of the information that should be
presented in a complete summary of municipal financial
conditions.
Summary of assets, properties, public improvements,
liabilities, and proprietary interests.—If information is
also given with regard to properties and public im
provements, there results a comparative exhibit of the
assets, properties, public improvements, liabilities, and
proprietary interests of the city, in which the values
of the properties and public improvements combined
with the assets of thefirst-mentionedstatement stand
on one side of the summary and the indebtedness and
proprietary interests, including reserves, on the other.
The excess of the assets, properties, and public
improvements over the debts measures the proprie
tary interests of the municipality in the properties,
public improvements, investments, and other assets
of the city, and their excess over all liabilities, including
the proprietary reserves, represents the free or un
bound proprietary interests of the city. In the case
of cities making such a summary as this, the balance
sheet has generally applied the designation "surplus"
to the excess first mentioned above. That excess,
however, is not a surplus or excess of proprietary
interests over capital stock, as in the case of a private
25
individual or firm. It represents the total proprietary
interests, and should be given some designation that
indicates its character or the source from which it has
been derived. Taking account of the character of the
excess, it can best be spoken of as the municipal pro
prietary interests, while if it is desirable to take account
of the fact that an excess of assets represents the ac
cumulation of revenues not used for expenses or inter
est, that excess may be designated revenue accumula
tions.
But whichever point of view is adopted, no balance
sheet should fail to present this excess so designated
that its true relation to the business of the munici
pality may be evident. This excess for most cities
will include amounts set aside for the amortization of
debts and other amounts held in trust for municipal
uses. All amounts such as those last mentioned should
be presented and properly designated as "feserves,"
or the summary will confound liabilities or debts
with reserves, and such confusion may easily make
the balance sheet a mischievous and misleading state
ment rather than one of administrative value or
popular significance.
Comparative value of different summaries.—The
value of the various summaries of the condition or
results of thefinancialbusiness of a city depends upon
the accuracy with which the values of the current
assets, properties, and public improvements are set
forth, and the fidelity with which the debts and re
serves are classified and exhibited. At the present
time the greater number of the statements presented
by cities in their reports are more or less misleading
and defective because they overstate the amount to
be realized from taxes levied but uncollected, and
because the stated value of permanent properties and
improvements stands open to large possibilities of
error, due to lack of data pertaining to their original
cost and failure to take account of depreciation in
their value. Such defects bring large factors of error
into the summaries of revenues, expenses, and inter
est, and the summaries of revenues and costs of
government. At the present time these factors of
error are greater than the difference between the rev
enue collections and the true revenue accruals of the
average city for the average year, or that between the
average warrant expenditures and the accrued ex
penditures of the same city. Hence, though govern
mental summaries of accrued revenues and expendi
tures form theoretically a better index of conditions
and results than summaries of cash receipts and war
rant expenditures, their general adoption and use will
depend much more upon the development of plans
and methods for giving correct estimates of the
amounts to be realized from uncollected taxes and
making proper estimates for depreciation, so as to
eliminate the present factors of error, than upon their
theoretical superiority.
FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES.

DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES.
In its annual report on statistics of cities the Bureau
of the Census presents so far as possible comparable
statistics of all receipts, from whatever source, and of
all payments, for whatever purpose, for all cities in the
United States having a population of over 30,000,
together with detailed information concerning certain
classes of receipts and payments. Table 1 is a pre
liminary table showing the population and area of the
cities covered by the report. Table 2 summarizes
the total receipts, payments, and cash balances of the
city governments. Table 3 is also a summary table
serving to show at a glance the net receipts of the
cities from revenues and the net payments for govern
mental costs. Tables 4 to 12 analyze in detail the
receipts from revenues and the payments for govern
mental costs. Tables 13 and 14 summarize the nonrevenue receipts, and Tables 13 and 15 the payments
other than those for governmental costs. Tables 17,
18, and 19 show the assets and the values of the proper
ties and public improvements of the cities, and Table
20 their liabilities. The remaining tables are either
analytical in character or give supplementary infor
mation not contained in themore general presentations*
The statistics in this report refer to the fiscal year
of each city, and of each division and fund of the city,

Cash lalances.—The cash in the possession of the
184 cities increased during the fiscal year 1910 from
$207,901,537 to $228,472,712, an increase of $20,571,175, or nearly 10 per cent. All of the four groups of
cities show an increase of cash on hand, although the
cities containing over 300,000 inhabitants reported the
greater portion of the total. Of the 184 cities included
in the table, 105, or about three-fifths, reported an in
crease of cash during the year, and 79 reported a de
crease. Similar increases of cash on hand were shown
by the cities having a population of over 30,000, for
which the Bureau of the Census secured statistics in
the fiscal years 1908 and 1909. The increase in 1909
for the cities covered by the census report was
$17,784,932, and in 1908, $52,742,336.
The increase in three years of over $90,000,000 in
the cash balances represents in large part the accumu
lation of money obtained from the issue of long-term
debt obligations for the acquisition and construction of
public improvements. This increase in cash on hand
added at least $2,000,000 to the current govenmental
costs of the cities covered by the census report, this
amount being approximately the excess payments of
interest on account of the idle money thus brought
into the treasury. This useless municipal expenditure
results in most cities not so much from errors or mis
management on the part of city officials as from the
operation of unwise laws relating to the borrowing of
money to finance public improvements. These laws
burden the city with needless interest payments with
out accomplishing any good that may not be secured
in other ways. New York City has in recent years led
in securing legislation which permits public improve
ments to be economically and safelyfinancedwith a
minimum of cash on hand derived from bond issues.
The economical administration of city business calls
for the general adoption of similar laws in all states.

The first group includes 13 cities, namely, Los
Angeles, Cal.; Seattle, Wash.; Portland, Oreg.; Oak
land, Cal.; Spokane and Tacoma, Wash.; Oklahoma
City, Okla.; Fort Wayne, Ind.; Sioux City, Iowa;
Springfield, Mo.; Lima, Ohio; Niagara Falls, N. Y.;
and Pasadena, Cal. The greater number of these
are rapidly growing cities. None of them in 1910
employed more than 60 per cent of revenues in meet
ing expenses and interest, and the cities as a group
utilized only 51.8 per cent of their revenues in meet
ing their expenses and interest. The per capita pay
ments of these 13 cities in 1910 for outlays were
nearly three times the corresponding average for the
184 cities, and were nearly seven times that for the
last group of cities shown in the table. The per
capita revenue receipts of the first group were also
higher than those of any other group, and more than
twice as great as those of the last group, while the
per capita payments for expenses and interest were
materially lower than the average for the 184 cities.
This group of cities includes none of the larger and
but few of the smaller cities, the average population
of the cities of the group being 108,026, as compared
with an average of 149,546 for the 184 cities. The
significance of the facts shown in the table above,
as well as those shown in Table 3, can not readily be
grasped unless they are considered in connection with
the figures of Table 13, which shows the receipts and
payments of the several cities on account of debt
obligations issued and redeemed.
The per capita revenue receipts for the second
and third groups shown in Table III do not materially
differ, although those of the third group are slightly
the greater. In like manner their per capita pay
ments for expenses and interest differ but little. In
both of these groups the per capita revenue receipts
and the per capita payments for expenses, interest,
and outlays are less than the average for the 184
cities. The per capita revenue receipts and the per

of the fourth group are greater than those for the 184

any other group.
The last group includes Jersey City, N. J.; Bir

Hoboken, N. J.; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Butte, Mont.;
Montgomery, Ala.; Woonsocket, R. L; and West
Hoboken, N. J., with an average population of only
84,665, or but little more than one-half of the average
for the 184 cities. This group of cities has the smallest
per capita revenue receipts of any group, as well as
very small per capita payments for outlays.

As shown by the table above, the revenue receipts
increased from $419,891,091 in 1902 to $717,882,232

the payments for expenses and interest increased

66.6 per cent, and those for outlays increased 107.9
per cent. The revenue receipts and the payments for
expenses and interest for the nine years make an
unbroken series of increases, the receipts and pay
ments of each year being greater than the cor
responding ones of the preceding year. The pay
ments for outlays make a like unbroken series
of increases, with the exception of the years 1908
and 1909. The total governmental cost payments
increased from $462,686,686 in 1902 to 8823,803,757
in 1910, or 78 per cent. This is a slightly greater
percentage of increase than that of revenues, showing
with the markedly greater increase of payments for
outlays a small tendency to increase the proportion of
outlay payments to be met from the issue of debt
obligations.
The following statement shows for the same 146
cities for each year from 1902 to 1910 the percentage
of the total payments for outlays which is represented
by the excess of revenue receipts over payments for
expenses and interest.

The percentages of the statement show for the
cities as a whole the portion of the outlay payments
of the nine years that were made directly from rev
enues, or were indirectly so made by payments into
sinking funds which balanced the receipts from loans
to finance public improvements. Were it not for
depreciation they would measure the portion of the
outlays of the given years that added to the propri
etary interests of the city, as the revenue accumula
tions are here called. The figures illustrate for gov
ernments the fact, so thoroughly recognized in private
accounting, that though much money may be bor
rowed on long or short term obligations, the relation
of revenues to interest, expenses, and outlays is not
measured or even affected by the receipts and pay
ments on account of debt.
without reference to any special benefits to be derived
by the individual contributor. They are classified into
general property taxes, special property taxes, busi
ness taxes, and poll taxes.
General property taxes, which constitute the most
important single source of revenue for nearly every
city, are direct taxes levied upon real and personal
property in general, in proportion to its assessed or
appraised value; they include all property, taxes
assessed and collected by the methods usually em
ployed in the taxation of the property of the greater
number of citizens. In Table 4 the net receipts from
general property taxes are shown under the two
headings "Original levies" and "Penalties, interest,
and collectors' fees."
Special property taxes are direct taxes assessed upon
special classes of property and in most instances are
levied and collected by methods somewhat different
from those employed in the case of general property
taxes. Among such taxes are those popularly re
ferred to as corporation taxes, bank taxes, security
taxes, and mortgage taxes. These taxes are commonly
collected by the state or county and by it paid to
the city.
Of the 184 cities covered by this report, 69 reported
receipts from special property taxes, amounting in the
aggregate to $13,078,209. Of this amount, the 16
cities of New York reported $5,420,959, or 41.5 per
cent, and the 22 cities of Massachusetts, $4,794,929,
or 36.7 per cent.
Details of the receipts from special property taxes
reported by the cities in Massachusetts and New York
are given in Tables V and VI.

i The mortgage taxes of 1910 were not collected by the city during thefiscalyear.
Business taxes are taxes upon business transactions,
as distinguished from the property employed in the
business. They consist chiefly of taxes on insur
ance premiums, but include also taxes on the gross
earnings of public service corporations when the tax
levies are fixed and imposed by general statute.
Similar payments by public service corporations made
in accordance with the terms of a franchise (thus rep
resenting a contractual relation between the corpora
tions and the city) are tabulated in Table 7 as receipts
from public service privileges.
Of the 184 cities covered by this report, 73 re
ported receipts from business taxes, amounting to
$1,905,677. Of this total, 3682,581 was reported by
Washington, D. C, being derived from the follow
ing sources: Street railway companies, $ 184,059; sav
ings banks, $10,416; telephone companies, $45,682;
electric light companies, $54,116; market companies,
$384; gas companies, $110,762; building and loan asso
ciations, $15,399; national banks, $98,017;-trust com
panies, $97,524; and life insurance companies, $66,222.
Pott taxes.—In some cities poll taxes are assessed at
a fixed amount per capita, as $1 or $2; in others the
polls are given an arbitrary valuation, as $100, and
are assessed at the rate for the general property tax;
and in still others they are graded according to the
occupation of the individual. All receipts from per
capita taxes, whether uniform or graded, are included
in the column headed "Poll taxes." Poll taxes
amounting to $1,462,125 were reported for 1910 by 78
of the 184 cities, located in 19 different states. Of
this amount, 22 cities in Massachusetts reported
$746,168, or 51 per cent; 12 cities in Pennsylvania,
$252,567, or 17.3 per cent; 12 cities in New Jersey,
$118,321, or 8.1 per cent; 5 cities in Indiana, $61,520,
or 4.2 per cent; 5 cities in Connecticut, $41,245, or
2.8 per cent; and 3 cities in Rhode Island, $28,233, or
1.9 per cent.
Liquor licenses and other liquor taxes.—Under the
heading of "Liquor licenses and other liquor taxes"
are included all the revenue receipts of cities from the
liquor traffic. Where no such receipts are reported,
50065°—13
3
33
none are collected, the cities being under gen
eral or local prohibition, or the revenue belongs to
the state or some other civil division. The very small
amounts shown under this heading for certain cities
indicate that in such cities the only liquor licenses
granted were those permitting druggists to sell liquors
and alcohol for medicinal purposes only. The city of
Portland, Me., from which no receipts from liquor
taxes are reported, received $27,200 from the opera
tion of a liquor agency, which amount is shown in
Table 8 under the heading of receipts from "All other
enterprises."
Other business licenses.—Under this designation are
tabulated all receipts from licenses for carrying on busi
ness other than the liquor traffic. Receipts from this
source are particularly large in most of the cities of the
Southern and far Western states, in many of which
cities licenses are required for conducting nearly every
kind of business. license taxes collected from street
railway, telegraph, telephone, and other public service
corporations are also included.
Among the receipts from business licenses reported
by municipalities are those from billboard compa
nies which rent their advertising space and facilities
to others. Receipts from individuals for permits to
erect signs and advertising devices which project over
the street adjacent to the place of business are, how
ever, tabulated as receipts from minor privileges.
Dog licenses.—Of the 184 cities covered by this re
port, 146 reported receipts from dog licenses. Some
of the cities not reporting receipts from this source
collected dog taxes for the state, receiving back a
portion of such taxes, as subventions, receipts from
which are included in Table 6. In other cities dogs
are assessed as property and receipts from taxes on
dogs are included with general property taxes.
General licenses.—The term "general licenses" is used
to cover all licenses granted under general statutes
or ordinances, except dog, and liquor or other busi
ness licenses. Such licenses are granted without re
spect to the business that may be carried on by the
licensee. Thus licenses that are granted persons own
ing vehicles, irrespective of whether these are for
business or pleasure, are termed general licenses.
Among general licenses which are granted by cities
are those authorizing business men to erect specified
signs advertising their business without giving the
right to occupy any portion of the highway. One
hundred and four cities reported receipts from such
licenses in 1910. Of a total of $1,290,923 collected,
$1,032,120, or 80 per cent, was reported by 17 cities
of Group I, for 8 of which a portion of the receipts
of the county are included. (See text descriptive of
Table 3.)
Table VII, which follows, shows the kinds of general
licenses from which revenue was derived, the number
of cities reporting each kind, and the aggregate
amount reported.

receipts are included in Table 4, with the exception
of receipts from permits issued by public service en
terprises, which are credited to these enterprises and

other than those issued by public service enterprises.

Special assessments.—With the exception of general
property taxes, special assessments* constitute the
largest revenue for a majority of the cities. • Indeed,
for several cities receipts from special assessments
very nearly equaled the receipts from general property
taxes, andfor Seattle and Tacoma,Wash., they exceeded
the latter in amount. Special assessments are segre
gated by the Bureau^of the Census into two principal
classes—special assessments for outlays and special
assessments for expenses.
Special assessments for outlays.—Receipts from
special assessments for outlays were reported by 181
of the 184 cities covered by this report. The outlays
for which the assessments were made varied in the
different cities. In a majority of the cities special
assessments were levied for the construction of sewers,
pavements, curbing, and sidewalks; in many cities for
the grading or widening of streets, the grading of hill
sides, and the building of retaining walls, and for parks,
bridges, and viaducts; and in some for the laying of
water mains. Receipts from special assessments for
outlays are shown under the two headings "Original
levies" and "Penalties, interest, and collectors* fees/'
In many cities there are receipts like those from
special assessments for outlays but which arc not
collected under that name. Thus in some cities the
city paving department paves that part of the street
lying between the street car rails and for a certain dis
tance outside of the rails, and is reimbursed for that
work by the street car company. Street railway com
panies also often pay a part of the cost of building a new
bridge or strengthening an old one. Receipts such as
those obtained in this way are designated by the Bureau
of the Census as from special charges and are shown in
Table 4 in a column with that specific title. There are
also included under this title receipts from private par
ties for meeting outlay payments made by the city in
the construction of sidewalks and other improvements
for the benefit of the public.
Special assessments for expenses.—Receipts of this
character were reported by 61 cities. They are shown
in the table under the same general heading as special
assessments for outlays, and the segregation of the
two classes of assessments is based directly on the
general distinction between outlays and expenses. In
the tabulation it was impossible in many instances to
separate the interest on deferred payments of these
special assessments from the interest on special assess
ments for outlays, and where such was the case all of
the interest receipts on the deferred payments have
been tabulated under the title "Special assessments for
outlays." The following table shows the different
expenses met from special assessments, the number of
cities reporting assessments for each, and the aggregate
amounts reported.

The revenue receipts of the toll bridges in New
York City comprised $105,082 from charges for work
performed by the bridge employees, §88,223 from rent
of piers and abutments, $681,022 from tolls, and
$3,254 from sales of materials. The tolls collected
were as follows: Brooklyn Bridge, $287,630; Williams
burg Bridge, $245,962; other bridges, $147,430.
In Boston, Mass., the tolls from ferries amounted
to $105,253, and those from the East Boston Tunnel
to $139,245. In the latter case each passenger car
ried through the tunnel pays a 1-cent toll, which is
collected for the city by the railway company.
The amounts shown in Table XVIII in the column
headed "Miscellaneous" were received from the fol
lowing sources: Cincinnati, Ohio, leasehold rents,
$17,427; New Orleans, La., sugar sheds, $2,932, and
public belt railroad, $108,680;- Seattle, Wash., an

various cities during 1910 for objects or purposes other
than the operation and maintenance of public service
enterprises. Such payments are by far the most im
portant class of payments for the costs of municipal
government, comprising 52.5 per cent of the total pay
ments for governmental costs as shown in Table 3.
They are given in Table 9 in sufficient detail to show
the relative expenses of the several departments and
branches of work in each city, and to provide data for
comparing the expense payments for a given object
in one city with the corresponding payments in other
cities.
In making such comparisons it should be noted
that while the payments shown in Table 9 for
the main groups of departments are fairly accurate,
and hence comparable, those for some of the indi
vidual objects of expenditure are less exact. For
example, the expenses for the care and repair of bridges
can not in all cities be segregated from the expenses
for the care and repair of streets, pavements, and curb
ing; hence the individual items of highway expenses
are less accurate than the aggregate of all highway
expenses. Other items of expense more or less inac

DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES.
others this work is performed by the health depart
ment or the street department. Where it is done by
a department having a variety of other functions, and
the segregation of items of expense for the different
functions is not made by the local authorities, it is
often difficult or impossible for the agents of the Bu
reau of the Census to secure correct statistical data.
It must not be inferred, therefore, in the case of objects
of expenditure here mentioned, that a blank in Table
9 necessarily means that there were no expenditures
for the purpose indicated by the column heading*
The per capita averages and the per cent distribu
tion of payments for expenses other than of public
service enterprises in the various cities are given for
groups of departments and for several of the most
important departments individually in Tables 26 and
27. A further discussion of these subjects is presented
in connection with those tables.
Among the payments for municipal expenses included
in Table 9 are those for the so-called forestry depart
ments of many cities in New England. These are
branches of the public service called into existence in
many cases to combat the destruction of trees in parks
and streets by injurious insects and other tree pests.
In most cases they care for trees in the streets and in
the parks and in a few cases they also care for trees
on private grounds and receive compensation therefor.
All such so-called departments or branches of service
are incidental operating plants under the control of
the park board, highway department, or some other
branch of the public service. Their expenses are in
this report distributed to the governmental activities
for which they render service. Those for the care of
trees in parks and streets appear among the park
expenses, while the small amount of expense for the
care of trees outside of parks and streets is included
under the heading "All other," in Division II, "Pro
tection to person and property."
A large number of cities made payments in 1910 for
checking the spread of tuberculosis and for the care of
patients suffering from that disease. An effort was
made to include all payments for this class of expenses
among those of the health department as part of the
total payments for the prevention and cure of com
municable diseases. For most cities the larger part of
these payments are tabulated as for the health depart
ment, although in several cases some of them are tabu
lated as for outdoor poor relief and for hospitals*
41
Under the heading "All other" under Division IV are
shown payments for 124 cities, aggregating $1,866,391.
Of this amount, $663,789 was included with the pay
ments of 10 cities of Group I as part of the payments
of the counties in which these cities are located for the
maintenance of roads and bridges outside the cities, as
follows: Chicago, HI., $48,350; Cleveland, Ohio,
$161,604; Pittsburgh, Pa., $216,716; Detroit, Mich.,
$7,324; Buffalo, N. Y., $9,727; Milwaukee, Wis.,
$4,778; Cincinnati, Ohio, $49,274; Newark, N. J.,
$113,968; Los Angeles, Cal., $28,390; and Minne
apolis, Minn., $23,658. Other payments included un
der this heading were payments for maintenance of
river channels, harbors, and landings; of structures
eliminating grade crossings; of bicycle paths; and of a
free ferry.
Payments for the expenses of schools are shown in
detail in Tables 30 to 37.
Payments for drinking fountains and city clocks
which are reported by a number of cities are included
in Division VIII, "Miscellaneous."
Exceptional payments ly Massachusetts cities.—The
state of Massachusetts has established for the benefit
of a number of cities and towns certain metropolitan
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 cost of main
taining the properties and public improvements ac
quired, 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
ultimate redemption of the debt incurred by the state
for their benefit. Other payments to the common
wealth of the same general nature are those for the
abolition of grade crossings.
In this report, as in those for 1906,1907, 1908, and
1909, payments for the maintenance of the metropol
itan sewer and park systems are included with other
sewer and park expenses in Table 9, and payments for
the maintenance of the metropolitan water system
with other payments of this nature in Table 10. All
payments to the state for interest axe tabulated in
Table 11, and all payments to sinking funds are tabu
lated in Table 13. The following table shows the
amounts of these special payments to the state, except
those on account of the metropolitan waterworks,
which are presented in the text for Table 10.

TABLE 11.
Governmental cost payments for interest on city
debts.—In their accounting for the construction of
permanent properties such as waterworks, several
cities, in accordance with the practico in commercial
accounting, charge the interest accruing on money bor
rowed for the purpose during the time that the
property is being constructed as a part of the cost of
the property. It thus appears in the city accounts as
an outlay payment and not as an interest payment.
The payments for interest shown in Table 11 are
48
of those charged as outlays, the latter being
included in Table 12 and shown separately in the text
for that table. The interest payments of Table 11 are
classified into payments (1) on funded debt obligations,
(2) on revenue loans, and (3) on special assessment
loans. They are exclusive of payments made in error
and later repaid to the city, and of payments of interest
which represent refunds of accrued interest formerly
received, but include payments to city funds.
Included in this table for certain cities of Group I
are payments of the counties containing these cities,
as follows: Chicago, HI., $361,885; Cleveland, Ohio,
$246,616; Pittsburgh, Pa., $299,559; Detroit, Mich.,
$73,962; Buffalo, N. Y., $45,580; Milwaukee, Wis.,
,$17,128; Cincinnati, Ohio, $86,504; Newark, N. J.,
$305,623; Los Angeles, Cal., $23,502; and Minneapolis,
Minn., $80,380.
Of the total amount of interest payments, 94.3 per
cent was reported for the city corporations, 2.4 per cent
for independent school districts, and 3.3 per cent for
other independent divisions, including the counties
above referred to.
The aggregate of all interest payments, other than
those charged as outlays, was $92,847,248. Of this
amount, $13,413,309, or 14.4 per cent, represented trans
fers, or amounts of money paid by the various divisions
of the government of the city as interest upon city
securities held by the city sinking funds, investment
funds, and public trust funds for municipal uses. The
total amount paid to the public by the 184 cities was
$79,433,939, an increase over the corresponding amount
paid by the 158 cities covered by the report for 1909
of $5,521,274, or 7.5 per cent, of which increase
$1,565,358 is accounted for by the addition of 27 cities
not reported in 1909, and $103,882 by the inclusion of
county payments with 2 additional cities of Group I.
Of the remaining excess, $1,127,771 was paid by New
York City. The report for 1909 presentedfiguresfor
1 city, South Omaha, Nebr., not included in the report
for 1910.
From the classification of interest according to the
kind of debt obligations on which paid, it appears that
86.8 per cent of the total interest payments were on
funded debt, 7.7 per cent on revenue loans, and 5.5
per cent on special assessment loans.
The interest on special assessment loans is seldom
paid from collections of general property taxes or
similar revenue, 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
whose amortization the installment is collected. In
such cases the property owner pays the interest on
the debt as well as the principal, the city neither
making nor losing anything by the transaction,
no burden being cast upon the general taxpayer.
Table 11 does not include any payments for

FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES.
interest on certain special assessment obligations
issued by some cities that are primarily debts
of the individuals against whom they are levied and
not debts of the city. When the cities collect special
assessments of this class and receive interest on
deferred payments, such interest collections are
included as receipts for private trust funds and ac
counts recorded in Table 14 and not as receipts from
special assessments recorded in Table 4, and in like
manner the payments for interest are included among
the payments for private trust funds and accounts in
Table 15 and not in Table 11.
TABLE 12.
Payments for outlays.—The payments for outlaysr
included in Table 12 comprise all amounts paid by
the several cities for the acquisition or construction of
the more or less permanent properties and public
improvements, including the payments for the addi
tions made to those previously acquired or con
structed, but exclusive of payments in error later
received in correction of error. The payments last
mentioned are included in Table 15 under a descriptive
title. The payments shown in Table 12 under the title
"Governmental cost payments" are the total pay
ments recorded in the table, less the payments offset
by receipts from the public on outlay account, the
most important of which receipts are those from the
sales of real property and from fire insurance adjust
ments. The amount of the payments thus offset is
shown separately in Tables 12 and 15. The govern
mental cost payments of the table are thus the net pay
ments on outlay account, and measure the increase in
the value of the permanent properties and public im
provements which result from the cash transactions
of the year, including the transactions between depart
ments, enterprises, funds, and accounts on outlay
account.
The grand total of the governmental cost payments
for outlays for the 184 cities was $279,145,899. The
excess of receipts from the issue of city debt ob
ligations to the public over payments to the public
for the redemption of city debt obligations, as
shown in Table 13, was $125,568,426. The excess
of outlay payments over the excess last referred to
is $153,577,473. This shows that for the 184 cities
as a whole the net receipts from increase of debts
were less than one-half the outlays for new proper
ties and public improvements. There were great
differences among the individual cities; of the total
number, 51 decreased their indebtedness; in 27 the
net receipts from increase of debts was less than
20 per cent of the payments for outlays; in 26 such
receipts constituted over 20 and less than 40 per
cent of the outlay payments; and in 30 such re
ceipts were more than 40 and less than 60 per cent
of the payments for outlays. In the other cities the
net receipts from an increase of debts were the follow
ing percentages of the payments for outlays: In 23
cities the percentage was over 60 and less than 80, in
13 it was over 80 and less than 100, and in 14 it was
greater than the outlay payments.
After making all needed allowances for different
amounts of cash on hand at the beginning and close of
the year and for all other factors that should bo con*
sidered, it is evident that a majority of the cities are
increasing the valuation of their permanent properties
and public improvements faster than they are increas
ing their debts, while in the case of a few, if any
consideration is given to depreciation, the opposite
condition of affairs must be assumed.
The figures presented in Table 12 for certain cities
of Group I include outlays for the counties containing
these cities, as follows: Chicago, HI., $500,764; Cleve
land, Ohio, $2,239,014; Pittsburgh, Pa., Sl,362,664;
Detroit, Mich., $141,599; Buffalo, N. Y., $176,218;
Milwaukee, Wis., $347,377; Cincinnati, Ohio, $619,570; Newark, N. J., $541,196; Los Angeles, CaL,
$476,073; and Minneapolis, . Minn., $83,755. For
many other cities a portion of the outlay payments
represents payments made by independent school dis
tricts which are not reported by the comptroller of the
city corporation.
Where payments for the interest on debts incurred for
construction work are made before the completion of
the work, they are tabulated as outlays, if so charged
on the city books. The figures in Table 12 include
such interest payments charged as outlays for cities
of Group I, as follows: New York, N. Y., $502,604;
Boston, Mass., $31,575; and Detroit, Mich., $228.
The payments included in the column headed "All
other" under "Protection to person and property"
were made for such purposes as the purchase, con
struction, or improvement of combined police and
fire-alarm systems, levees, subways and conduits for
wires, retaining walls, piling, planking, riprapping,
and other structures for guarding against damage by
lakes or rivers, lifeboats, and of the permanent equip
ment of electrical departments or bureaus, depart
ments of public safety, and the offices of recorders or
registers of deeds.
The outlays tabulated in the column headed "All
other" under "Health conservation and sanitation*'
were for equipment for street cleaning and refuse dis
posal, and for public comfort stations, and the drainage
of low-lying lands, etc.
The outlays tabulated in the column headed "All
other," under "Highways," were made for the im
provement of bays, rivers, and harbors, for viaducts,
for steps to hilltops, and for stone crushers, and in the
case of all cities with large areas some were made for
the construction of roads and bridges outside of the
populous districts of the city.
The payments tabulated in the column headed
"Miscellaneous" were for the following purposes:
Unclassified real estate in Chicago, 111., Buffalo, N. Y.,

fountains, and city wells in Seattle, Wash., Holyoke,
Mass. ($28), Saginaw, Mich., Haverhill, Mass., and

Roanoke, Va. ($6,000); annexation costs in Holyoke,
Mass. ($52,000); warehouse in San Diego, Cal. ($3,350);
and official maps in Roanoke, Va. ($4,814).
The greater part of the payments for outlays for
municipal service enterprises was for electric light
plants for lighting city streets or municipal buildings.
In 1904, 25.2 per cent of the total outlays were paid
or payable from special assessments or special assess
ment loans; in 1905, 21.4 per cent; in 1906, 23.5 per
cent; in 1907, 24.5 per cent; in 1908, 21.4 per cent;
in 1909, 21.8 p'er cent; and in 1910, 22.9 per cent.

poses" are shown in Table XXII.

TABLE 13.
Receipts and payments on account of debt—The re
ceipts and payments on account of debt shown in
Table 13, like those for other purposes included in
this report, comprise those by independent school
districts and other governmental units mentioned by
name in Table 3. Of the receipts and payments thus
included, attention is called to those by the counties
in which certain of the cities of Group I are situated.
These amounts arc as follows: Chicago, 111., receipts
$1,518,693 and payments 82,241,398; Cleveland, Ohio,
receipts $1,507,070 and payments $389,711; Pitts
burgh, Pa., receipts $1,422,337 and payments $138,316;
Detroit, Mich., receipts $925,722 and payments
$1,255,500; Buffalo, N. Y., receipts $252,186 and
payments $70,069; Milwaukee, Wis., receipts $181,256
and payments $80,633; Cincinnati, Ohio, receipts
$167,401 and payments $37,365; Newark, N. J., re
ceipts $921,177 and payments $355,258; Los Angeles,
Cal., receipts $10,071 and payments $6,875; and Min
neapolis, Minn., receipts $33,694 and payments
$49,527.
Of the 184 cities for which statistics are given in the
table, 136 are shown by the table to have received
more from the issue of debt obligations than they paid
for the redemption, while 48 are shown to have paid
more for the redemption than they received from
the issue of debt obligations. The excess of receipts
from the issue over payments for the redemption of
debt obligations in thefiscalyear 1910 was 8157,799,055.
This excess is here spoken of as the net receipts from
the issue of debt obligations by the 184 cities.
Thefiguresof the table are not exact, however, for
certain Massachusetts cities, owing to the inclusion in
Table 13 of payments to state sinking funds, as ex
plained on pages 41. and 42. No receipts correspond
ing to those sinking fund payments of $1,043,945 are
shown in Table 13, and to that extent the figures of
the table exaggerate the net receipts from the issue of
debt obligations by the cities.
The receipts in any fiscal year from the issue of
funded debt obligations are generally used in pay
ing for outlays during that year or are held for the
payment of outlays in subsequent years, while the
payments of the year for the purchase of sinking fund
investments are legally made only from the revenue
receipts of the current or preceding years, as are all
payments for expenses and interest charges. Sinking
fund assets are, however, all used to redeem funded ot
other debts, and hence payments in anyfiscalyear for
the purchase of additional sinking fund investments
are in reality offsets to the receipts of that year from
the issue of debt obligations, the same as receipts
from the issue of debt obligations are offsets to pay
ments for the redemption of old ones. In like manner.
FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES-
46
receipts from bond issues of. prior years paid for the
outlays of the current year' are offsets to the receipts
from current bond issues retained in the treasury to
pay for the outlays of subsequent years. Under these
circumstances it is instructive to ascertain the relation
between the net receipts from the issue of debt obli
gations and (1) the net payments from bond issues for
outlays, (2) the net payments for the purchase of
sinking fund investments, (3) the net increase during
the year in the cash on hand, and (4) the net reduction
in cash as the result of nongovernmental cost transac
tions other than those already mentioned, which are the
net payments for the redemption of debt and the net
payments for the purchase of sinking fund investments.
By net payments for outlays from bond issues is
meant the amount of payments for outlays in the year
which are made from the cash obtained from bond
issues of the current or prior years. This is always:
the same as the excess of governmental costs over
revenue receipts. By the net payments for the pur
chase of sinking fund investments is meant the excess,
of the payments for such investments over the receipts
from their sales, and by the net increase in the cash on
hand is meant the additions made during the year to
the aggregate cash in the treasury of all the divisions
of the government of the city. The relation men
tioned is shown in Table XXIII for the year 1910, not
only for the 184 cities whose statistics are included in
this report, but also for each of the five groups of
cities employed for the classification of the data given
in Table III, page 31. They are the groups obtained
by classifying the cities according to the percentage
of their revenue receipts in excess of their payments,
for expenses and interest.

For the 184 cities the net payments for outlays from
bond issues and increase of sinking fund investments,
plus the decrease in cash, are equal to 96.6 per cent
of the net receipts from the issue of debt obligations.
The difference between the first-mentioned amount
and the sum of the other three is $5,416,892. This
amount is the net reduction of cash during the year
by reason of all nonrevenue and nongovernmental cost
transactions not included in Table XXIII.
The per capita net receipts from the issue of debt
obligations was $5.78 for the 184 cities and varied from
$1.44 in Group II to $15.59 for Group I. The per
capita expenditures for outlays of the several groups
are shown in Table III. The second group had the
lowest per capita receipts from bond issues and also
the largest revenue receipts as compared with the gov
ernmental cost payments. The cash on hand belong
ing to the first and fifth groups was but slightly
affected during the year by the nonrevenue and non
governmental cost transactions, the net payments for
which are tabulated in the last column of Table XXIII,.
while those payments of the second group were equal
to 21.1 per cent of the net receipts from the issue of
debt obligations. The second group received more
from the sale of sinking fund investments than it paid,
for such investments, while the fourth group—tha
group making the largest aggregate, but not the largest
per capita payments for outlays—decreased, rather
than increased, its cash on hand.
The 131 cities of the first, second, third, and fifth
groups had net receipts from the issue of debt obliga
tions amounting to $71,833,542. The net payments
by the same cities for outlays from bond issues were*
$33,047,758 and for added sinking fund investments,
$9,613,858, while the increase in their cash on hand,
was $25,484,539. In contrast, the cities of the fourth
group had net receipts from the issue of debt obliga
tions of $85,965,513, net payments from bond issues
for outlays of $62,608,989, and net payments for sink
ing fund investments of $26,540,293. The3e cities
DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES.
reduced their cash on hand to the amounf of $4,913,364,
The losses of the cities of the fourth group, due to the
borrowing of money to lie unused in banks, were less
than those of any other group. In this group the net
payments for outlays from bond issues constituted 72.8
per cent of the net receipts from the issue of debt
obligations, while in the other four groups they consti
tuted only 45 per cent. For nearly all of the groups the
necessity of maintaining sinking funds with invest
ments requires payments that balance a large portion
of their net receipts from the issue of debt obligations.
This fact emphasizes the statement made over 100 years
ago by the English economist Hamilton that there is
but one actual sinking fund, namely, the excess of
revenues over governmental costs. The percentage in
1910 of the net receipts from the issue of debt obliga
tions represented by the net payments for sinking fund
investments for the 184 cities was 22.9, for the fourth
group it was 30*9, and for the cities of the other four
groups it was 13.5. The fact that cities borrowing
much money for making public improvements are
compelled to use such a large proportion of the net
receipts from the issue of debt obligations in purchas
ing sinking fund investments and allowing other por
tions to lie idle in bank is being recognized by many
cities as a potent reason why cities should not main
tain sinking funds with investments, but make pro
vision for the systematic redemption of city debts
through the issue of serial bonds or the periodical pur
chase in the open market of outstanding debt obliga
tions for cancellation.
Receipts from the issue or sale of city debt obliga
tions to city sinking and investment funds and public
trust funds for municipal uses amounted to $55,262,427,
or 9.9 per cent of the total receipts from debt obli
gations issued. Payments to these funds for the re
demption of debt obligations held by them amounted
to $23,031,798, or 5.7 per cent of the total payments
for the redemption of municipal debt obligations.
The excess of the receipts from the public from the
issue of debt obligations over the payments to the
public, for their redemption, amounted to $125,568,426.
Of the 184 cities, 132 received more from the public for
the issue of new debt obligations than they paid it in
redemption; while 52 cities paid more to the public for
the redemption of debt obligations than they received
from the public from the issue of new debt obligations.
The 52 cities paid the public $6,380,458 more than
they received on account of city debt obligations; and
the 132 cities received $131,948,884 more than they
paid. The net receipts from the public from the issue
of debt obligations, or the excess of the receipts from
the public from the issue of debt obligations over the
payments to the public for the redemption of such
obligations, constituted quite different proportions of
the payments of the cities for outlays. Of the 132
cities with net receipts from the issue of debt obliga
47
tions, the net receipts in 25 cities constituted less
than 20 per cent of the payments for their outlays.
They constituted over 20 per cent and less than 40, in
29 cities; over 40 and less than 60, in 31 cities; over
60 and less than 80, in 20 cities; over 80 and less than
100, in 13 cities; and over 100 per cent in 14 cities.
The excess of receipts from debts in the 14 cities last
referred to and much of the receipts of the 13 previously
mentioned was unexpended for outlays during the
year, and was reflected in the statistics of those cities
by an increase of cash on hand at the close of the year
as compared with that at the beginning.
TABLE 14.
Nonrevenue receipts other than from (he issue of debt
olligatiom.—In the columns of Tables 4 to 8, inclusive,
with the title "Total" are shown the total revenue
receipts of city governments; while in Table 13 are
shown the nonrevenue receipts from the issue of debt
obligations, and in Table 14, all other nonrevenue
receipts classified by the sources from which they were
obtained, or the object for which, or the persons from
whom, they were received.
In the reports of years preceding 1909 the receipts
and payments of fundshave been shown in special tables
separate from other receipts and payments. This sys
tem of tabulation made it necessary to duplicate certain
receipts and payments, since the earnings of sinking
and investment funds and public trust funds for mu
nicipal uses are revenues of the city as well as of the
funds. To avoid this duplication in the present re
port, the revenue receipts of these funds are shown
with other revenue receipts in Tables 4 to 8, and the
nonrevenue receipts are shown in Tables 13 and 14.
In Table 14 under the designation "From sales of in
vestments" are shown the receipts of sinking and in
vestment funds, of public trust funds for municipal uses,
of public trust funds for nonmunicipal uses, and of
private trust funds, from the disposal of investments.
In the two columns of Table 14 under the designa

The sinking funds of the first class are established
and maintained primarily for the redemption of bonds
at maturity, while those of the second class are main
tained primarily for the amortization of city debt
obligations by purchase before they are matured, or
for the redemption of serial or other bonds maturing
in practically equal amounts each year. »Sinking
funds of both classes are met with which are employed
for the payment of interest on city debt obligations
in addition to the purposes mentioned, although not all
. of either class are so used. The revenues of municipal
sinking funds comprise (1) the amounts annually appro
priated by the city corporation and other governmental
units for sinking fund purposes and (2) certain city
revenues that have been permanently set apart or
pledged for such purposes. In addition to the reve
nues mentioned, nearly all sinking funds receive in
terest on their current deposits, and sinking funds of
thefirstclass also receive interest on their investments.
Funds of the second class, as a rule, expend the greater
portion of their revenues during the year in which
received, while the revenues of the funds of the first
class are in part or wholly accumulated from year
to year and expended at the maturity of the various
bond issues.
In some states, cities borrowing money on long-term
bonds are required by statute to maintain sinking
funds with investments, and in a limited number of
states cities under these statutes are further required
to maintain a separate fund for the amortization of
each bond issue. In states without such laws the
cities can, at their discretion, maintain either type
of sinking fund, or can, if they choose, meet matur
ing debt obligations without the maintenance of a
sinking fund. In both classes of states an increasing
number of officials are becoming convinced that it is
financially inadvisable to maintain sinking funds with
investments, and are advocating sinking funds of the
second class or the issue of serial bonds so maturing
as to obviate the necessity of any kind of sinking fund.
It is to be noted in this connection that of the 30
cities with no sinking funds in 1910, the majority
reported no funded debt obligations other than serial
bonds. Sixty-five cities reported city securities alone
as constituting the assets, other than cash balances, in
their sinking funds; 8 cities reported other invest
ments but no city securities; 38 reported both city
securities and other investments; and 43 reported
cash as the only asset.
For the greater number of cities the sinking funds
are prudently and economically administered, either
by city officials, who act as trustees ex qfficiis, or by
independent boards of commissioners appointed for
that purpose. In a small number of cities, however,
the cash accumulations in the funds have been
diverted to the payment of current city expenses,
with the result that the so-called assets in the funds
are mere accounting entries, and, since they do not
constitute true offsets to the bonded debt, are not
taken into consideration in the preparation of this
report.
The figures shown in Table 17 include for seven
cities of Group I certain amounts held in the sinking
funds of the counties containing those cities. The
amounts thus included at the close of the fiscal year
1910 were as follows: Pittsbuigh, Pa., $1,379,071; De
troit, Mich., $88,157; Milwaukee, Wis., $40,2S8; Cincin
nati, Ohio, $1,169,495; Newark, N. J., $1,284,521; Los
Angeles, Cal., $46,728; Minneapolis, Minn., $666,247*
At the close of the fiscal year 1910 the aggregate
assets in the sinking funds reported equaled 18.9
per cent of the total indebtedness of the 184 cities
covered by this investigation, as compared with 19
per cent in 1909, 18.5 per cent in 1908, 19.2 per cent
in 1907, and 20 per cent in 1906. The percentage
which the value of the assets in the sinking funds
represented of the aggregate amount of funded debt
was 21.4 in 1910 as compared with 21.5 in 1909, 21.2
in 1908, 21.8 in 1907, and 22.6 in 1906.
Public trust funds for municipal uses.—Cities fre
quently receive donations and bequests for what the
statutes and court decisions have denominated
"charitable uses." In most cases the purpose of the
donation or bequest is to extend aid in certain direc
tions in excess of what the city is accustomed to pro
vide on its own account. In a smaller number of
instances the donations or bequests are to be applied
to purposes which are other than municipal in their
nature and for which the city can not make appro
priations.
Public trust funds of the first-mentioned class are
established for charities, education, pensions, and
other public benefits; and those of the second class
are for "charitable uses" for which the city can not
make appropriations, but the administration of which
may legally be intrusted to municipalities as constitut
ing convenient agencies for accomplisliing the desired
end. Funds established for city uses are termed public
trustfundsfor municipal uses, wliile those established for
DESCRIPTION OF 1ENERAL TABLES.
purposes which are other than municipal in their nature
and for which the cities can not make appropriation
from revenues are designated public trust funds for
nonmunicipal uses. In the case of the greater number
of these funds the income alone is available for the
purposes for which the funds are created; but in the
case of a few, both principal and income may be
expended.
In some cities the public trust fund cash, although
applicable only to the specific purposes of the trusts, has
been merged with the general city cash, and the trans
actions are not as clearly set forth on the books as
would seem essential to correct administration and
accounting. In the majority of cities, however, the
transactions are properly recorded and kept entirely
distinct from the ordinary municipal transactions and
accounts.
The acceptance by a city of donations and bequests
for municipal uses acts as an appropriation thereof,
and the money or wealth so received, if accounted for
in a legal sense, would be shown in the accounts or
reports as "appropriated." To distinguish such ap
propriations from the ordinary governmental appro
priations, they are usually set apart in special funds
denominated "public trust funds." Cash and other
wealth in these funds constitute governmental assets,
and the acceptance thereof creates no liability other
than tHe liability involved in the ordinary govern
mental appropriation. The municipal purpose most
often subserved by trust funds for municipal uses is
that of providing pensions for policemen and firemen
who have suffered disability or have completed a speci
fied term of service, and gratuities for the families of
those who have died in the service. The pensioning
of teachers isfindingfavor in recent years, and several
cities report public trust funds for this purpose. A
number of cities, for the most part in the Eastern
states, report public trust funds for charitable uses,
such as for the defective classes and the care of the
poor.
Included with the assets in public trust funds for
municipal uses are assets in certain funds, mostly
pension funds, which are supported largely or alto
gether by appropriations and by certain kinds of
municipal revenues assigned to them by statute,
charter provision, or ordinance. Although these socalled funds are in their origin and nature more nearly
allied to administrative funds than to trust funds, they
are assigned to the latter class in accordance' with the
general usage of American cities.
Of the 184 cities covered by the present report, 125
reported public trust funds for municipal uses, the
number of such funds being 631. Of these trust
funds, 187 were for pensions, 129 for libraries, 108 for
charities, 64 for education (exclusive of funds for
medals and prizes), 42 for hospitals, 8 for parks, 11
51
for cemeteries, 5 for monuments, and the remaining
77 for miscellaneous and unspecified purposes.
Of the pension and relief funds, 84 were for firemen
and 70 for policemen. In most instances a city having
a pension fund forfiremenhas one for policemen also.
Of the teachers' retirement funds, 28 in number,
New York cities reported 10. The 5 other pension
funds were as follows: in New York City 1 for the
employees of the health department; in Chicago 1 for
the employees of the public library and 1 for the
employees (other than teachers) of the public schools;
and in Cleveland 2 for the sanitary police.
The public trust funds for libraries were usually for
the purchase of books; in some instances, however,
the funds were for constructing, improving, or main
taining buildings. Of the 129 funds for libraries,
31 were in Boston, Mass.
Trust funds for charitable uses were most numerous
in Philadelphia, Pa., and Boston and Salem, Mass.
The majority were for outdoor poor relief, some for
general and some for specified classes of cases, though
a considerable number were for the assistance of alms
houses. Among the specific charitable uses to which
the trust funds were applied were the support of
orphans' homes, assistance to poor children, mainte
nance of a free dispensary, aid to the Society for Pre
vention of Cruelty to Animals, loans, excursions for
poor children, and purchase of shoes for indigent school
children.
Public trust funds for educational purposes were
found in considerable numbers, especially in Boston,
Mass.; Chicago, 111.; Philadelphia, Fa.; and Cambridge,
Mass. These funds were usually for books, medals,
prizes, or scholarships, though four of them were for
the maintenance of trade schools.
Thirty-nine of the 42 hospital funds were in Massa
chusetts; Boston reporting 20, Worcester 17, Fitchburg 1, and Chelsea 1.
Of the 11 cemetery trust funds for municipal uses, 1
was devoted to the care of a cemetery entrance and
chapel, and the other 10 were for the perpetual care of
the cemetery grounds. Funds for the perpetual care of
private cemetery lots are classed as public trust funds
for nonmunicipal uses.
The diverse objects to which public trust funds for
municipal uses are applied may be judged from the
following examples found among the 77 funds for
miscellaneous objects: Immigrant relief; medals and
prizes for inventors, firemen, and school children;
loans to artisans; street cleaning, lighting, and re
pairing; Pasteur or other treatment for hydrophobia;
music for the public; trees in parks; public celebra
tions; drinkingfountains; buildings; and observatories.
At the close of the year 1910, 111 cities reported

J Excess of increase in valuation over payments for outlays.
From the above table it appears that the increase
in the reported estimated valuation of permanent
properties exclusive of sewers and highways exceeded
the outlay payments for these properties by
$27,660,641. The reported payments for outlays by
the cities of the fourth group exceeded the increase in
reported estimated valuation; but the cities of the
first, second, and third groups, like the 157 cities
taken as a whole, reported an excess of property
valuations over outlay payments. The greater in
crease in property valuations here noted arises from
the extension of territory in a few cities, and new
valuations in a few others that were materially greater
as well as more accurate than the valuations reported
in 1909,
Properties of departments.—Of the valuation reported
for departmental properties, amounting to $1,927,720,797, $876,823,501, or 45.5 per cent, represents the
valuation of parks, gardens, and playgrounds, over
one-half of this amount being reported by New York

City. Next in order of value come schools with a
valuation of $520,108,229, general government build
ings with a valuation of $175,624,008, and properties
of fire departments with a valuation of $85,726,351.
Nearly one-fourth, or 21.6 per cent, of the total
valuation for schools, was reported by New York
City.
Of the total valuation, amounting to $27,890,282,
of the departmental properties reported under, the
heading "All other/' nearly one-half, or $14,177,879,
represents the valuation of armories and rifle ranges.
Twenty cities reported armories, namely, New York,
N. Y.; Philadelphia, Pa.; Boston, Mass.; Cleveland,
Ohio; Baltimore, Md.; Cincinnati, Ohio; Minneapolis,
and St. Paul, Minn.; Atlanta, Ga.; Richmond, Va.;
Lawrence, Mass.; Duluth, Minn.; Elizabeth, N. J.;
Portland, Me.; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Augusta, Ga.;
Newton and Taunton, Mass.; Portsmouth, Va.; and
Chelsea, Mass. Rifle ranges are shown for eight cities
in Massachusetts and for Portsmouth, Va.
The value of electric light and power properties and
combined police and fire-alarm systems, which were
reported for 29 cities, was $5,596,145, and that of
municipal baths and gymnasiums, reported by 39
cities, was $3,293,206.
The remaining items included under the heading
"All other" are as follows: Public buildings, other than
those mentioned above, $1,774,626; election booths and
voting machines, $924,161; street lights, $584,303; city
engineers' equipment, $381,524; morgues, $182,241;
public comfort stations, $124,122; potter's fields and
unproductive cemeteries, $50,836; pounds, $20,020; |
and miscellaneous, $781,219. Under the heading last
mentioned are included the values reported for various
inspection department properties, law libraries, gym
nasiums, fair grounds and outing camps, a dispensary,
pumps and wells, a harbor master's equipment, har
bor dredging properties, lifeboats, forestry depart
ment properties, drinking fountains, clocks and bells,
a city store, an ambulance house, moth exterminating
department properties, and a greenhouse.
Real property held as investments.—The column
bearing this heading is designed to show the value of
all real property of the city from which an income
is received or expected and which does not form a
part of any invested fund nor belong to any enterprise
or governmental department. In many cases such
property consists of land held temporarily for a profit
able sale, having been obtained by a tax sale or
received as a governmental grant or private bequest,
without conditions creating a trust. The value of
this class of property in 1910 was $23,098,496, which
is $1,856,278 greater than the corresponding amount
reported for 1909.
Properties of municipal service enterprises.—Of the
total valuation reported for properties of municipal
service enterprises, amounting to $16,580,707, 59.1 |
percent, or $9,797,643, represented the value of electric
light systems. The other enterprises of this type,
named in the order of the valuations reported, were
high pressure water systems and service pipes, asphalt
repair and paving plants, waterworks repair shops, a
printing department, • city shops, and a quarry and
stone crusher. Electric light systems were reported
by 18 cities, Chicago, 111., reporting over one-half of the
total value of such properties, while for New York,
N. Y.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; and Nashville, Tenn., the valu
ations given were between $575,000 and $725,000.
The other municipalities operating electric light sys
tems as municipal service enterprises were Milwaukee,
Wis.; Denver, Colo.; Richmond, Va.; Grand Rapids,
Mich.; St. Joseph, Mo.; Little Rock, Ark.; Lincoln,
Nebr.; Topeka, Kans.; Wheeling, W. Va.; Kalamazoo,
Mick; Galveston, Tex.; Decatur, HI.; Port Worth,
Tex.; and Springfield, 111.
The high pressure water system in New York City
was valued at $5,527,767 and the high pressure serv
ice pipes in Baltimore at S581,598.
Sixteen cities, New York, N. Y.; Pittsburgh, Pa.;
Cincinnati, Ohio; New Orleans, La.; Kansas City, Mo.;
Indianapolis, Ind.; Denver, Colo.; Columbus, Ohio;
Omaha, Nebr.; Dayton, Ohio; Spokane, Wash.; San
Antonio and Houston, Tex.; St. Joseph, Mo.; Topeka,
Kans.; and Fort Worth, Tex., reported asphalt repair
and paving plants valued together at 8491,461. The
values of the. properties held by the other municipal
service enterprises reported were as follows: Water
works repair shops in Chicago, 111., $131,238; printing
department in Boston, Mass., S36,000; city shops in
Denver, Colo., $15,000.
In many cities the importance of special and care
ful valuation of property of tliis land is evidently
overlooked. The usefulness of tho census statistics of
city enterprises depends—no less for this class of
enterprises than for public service enterprises—on
frequent and exact valuations of the city property
employed, for only on the basis of such valuations can
statistics be compiled which will have no great value
for purposes of comparison.
Properties of public service enterprises.—Tho reported
value of properties held by public service enter
prises increased during 1910 from $1,120,492,407 to
$1,144,007,040, or 2.1 per cent. Of tho total value of
public service enterprises, 68.5 per cent represents the
value of water-supply systems, 10.8 per cent tho value
of docks, wharves, and landings, and 15.6 per cent
the value of all other enterprises. Thirty-eight per
cent of the total value of public service enterprises
was reported by New York City.
The total value reported for electric light and power
systems and gas-supply systems was $20,125,105.
Electric light systems were reported by 17 cities:
Chicago, 111.; Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit,Mich.; Seattle,
Wash.; Columbus, Ohio; Birmingham, Ala.; Tacoma,

such values may be ascertained within a reasonable
degree of accuracy, but the administrative signifi
cance of such values not being appreciated, the valua
tions for many cities either have not been made or
are far from accurate or complete. It is on account
of this fact that no totals are given in the table. The
valuation of improvements in the new cities of the
West is a comparatively easy problem, and that fact
undoubtedly accounts for the somewhat more complete
figures for those cities than for the older cities in the
Eastern states.
Nearly all public improvements fall naturally under
one or the other of the broad headings " Sewer sys
tems" and "Highways." A few cities, however, re
ported a valuation, small in the aggregate, for such
improvements as levees, unproductive docks and
wharves, retaining walls, etc., which can not logically

has in years past made large outlays for the purchase
of land for street purposes, for grading, etc., and as
such outlays represent wealth of the city invested in

FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES..
58
Net funded andfloatingdebt.—In itsTeports of the
statistics of cities having a population of over 30,000,
the Bureau of the Census applied, prior to 1909, the
term "net debt" to the total outstanding debt obli
gations of cities, less the amount of sinking fund assets.
The net debt so computed seldom represented the
actual net debt, because it did not take account of the
various assets that are provided or set aside by the
several cities for the payment of current debts in
cluding special assessment loans. Recognizing, this
fact, the Bureau of the Census in Table 20 of this
report applies the term net funded andfloatingdebt to
the difference between the gross funded and floating
debt and those sinking fund assets which have been
specifically provided for the amortization of such
debts. In computing the net funded and floating
debt for the several cities, no account was taken of
$6,931,478 of assets in sinking funds which was pro
vided specifically for the amortization of special
assessment loans.
The net funded and floating debt shown in Table
20 is for the great majority of cities a very close
approximation to the actual net debt, or the total
debt less the total assets available for its amortiza
tion, since the payment of current debts is, as a rule,
wholly provided for by such current assets as taxes
and special assessments levied but uncollected, and
the cash in the city treasury. The net funded and
floating debt of the 184 cities covered by this report
was $1,707,350,033, or 78.5 per cent of the gross
funded and floating debt, and 70 per cent of the total
debt outstanding.
A comparison of the per capitafiguresfor net funded
and floating indebtedness shows great variation
among .the individual cities, but for the main groups
a progressive increase from group to group as the
cities involved become larger. It should be noted,
however, that in these figures for net funded and
floating indebtedness the indebtedness on public service
enterprises is included; and hence in any comparison
of such indebtedness between cities the values of
such enterprises should be taken into consideration.
The per capita net funded and floating indebtedness
was in excess of $100 for New York, N.Y.; Boston,
Mass.; Cincinnati, Ohio; New Orleans, La.; Portland,
Me.; Atlantic City, N. J.; and Galveston, Tex. Five
cities showed net per capita funded and floating in
debtedness of less than $10. The cities of the four
groups with the highest and the lowest per capita of
net funded indebtedness were as follows:

Increase during year in net funded andfloatingdebt—
The last column of Table 20 shows the increase or
decrease during the fiscal year 1910 in the net funded
and floating debt of the 184 cities covered by the
report. Of these cities, 119 show increases in thennet funded and floating debt amounting in the aggre
gate to $120,600,363, and 63 cities show decreases
aggregating $5,965,425.
TABLE 21.
Funded debt and special assessment loans, classified
T>y purpose of issue.—Table 21 presents a summaiy
of those portions of the total city indebtedness defined
in the text description of Table 20 as "funded debt"
and "special assessment loans," classified according
to the reported purpose of issue.
The classes of debt obligations by purpose of issue
most accurately shown are those for the water-supply
and lighting systems. The debt incurred for other pub
lic service enterprises is not so fully exhibited, as is also
true of the debt incurred for municipal service enter
prises. Of the debt incurred for general purposes the
segregation is thoroughly made for but few cities, as
is shown by the fact that the amount tabulated as
incurred forl 'Combined or unreported purposes " forms
7.1 per cent of the total. Debt tabulated as for
funding purposes is in much the same category as
that tabulated for combined or unreported purposes,
though it is possible that some of that issued for refund
ing purposes was tabulated for constructing municipal
service or public service enterprises.
Bonds issued under such terms as "local improve
ment," "street improvement," and "general improve
ment, " have so far as possible been tabulated under
the more descriptive headings of the table, and when
such tabulation was impossible they have been tabu
lated as for "Combined or unreported purposes."
Issues of bonds described as "refunding" have been
classified according to the purposes for which the debt
they replaced were issued, whenever these purposes
could be discovered without too extended a search of
the earlier records, and the amount tabulated under
this heading in Table 21, representing 3.5 per cent of
the grand total of funded and special assessment
debt, indicates only what could not be so classified.
This amount is $3,935,311 less than the correspond
ing amount shown in Table 22 of the report for 1909.
The designation "funding" is applied to bonds
issued to meet unpaid claims and judgments and
outstanding warrants, but the column so headed
doubtless includes many obligations that would more
properly be classified as issued for refunding. The
debt reported as issued for funding purposes amounted
in all to 8.1 per cent of the grand total and was
$19,173,945 more than the amount reported under
that designation for 1909.
DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES.
In Table XXVII that portion of the debt incurred
for general purposes which is included in the column
headed "Miscellaneous purposes" is further classified
by the specific purpose for which incurred.

combined or unreported purposes, amounting to
$592,309,160, may be said to have been incurred for
public improvements. The other part, amounting to
$623,768,445, or 51.3 per cent of the total, may be
considered as having been incurred for the properties
of departments. To this should be added a portion
of the funded debt classified as issued for combined
or unreported purposes, and of that shown as issued
for refunding or for funding purposes—that is, of the
debt incurred for purposes not definitely reported.
Assuming that the same proportion of this debt as of
that incurred for specified purposes (51.3 per cent)
was for the acquisition of departmental properties, the
outstanding debt on account of such properties would
amount to $808,796,133. The total valuation of
departmental properties in 1910, as given in Table 18,
was $1,927,720,797, and the ratio of debt to valuation
was therefore 42 per cent, as compared with 41.3 per
cent in 1909. The foregoing percentages take no ac
count of sinking fund assets which at the close of 1910
constituted 21.7 per cent of the outstanding funded
and floating debt. If consideration is taken of these
assets, the ratio of net funded and floating debt to
property valuation was, for the year 1910,33 per cent.
This would indicate that the revenue accumulations
of the cities—that is, the interests of the cities in their
permanent properties as proprietors—were equal to
67 per cent of the value of those properties. This
percentage is materially larger than those given on
page 32, showing the proportion of revenue receipts
expended directly or indirectly by 147 cities during
nine years for outlays. This greater percentage affords
evidence that the revenue expenditures for outlays
are greater than the depreciation in property values
due to use in service and obsolescence. The percent
age given above indicates that something more than
two-thirds of the reported valuation of the properties
of departments represents property that has already
been paid for by the cities from revenues received.
(See also tabular statement on page 31.)
The ratio between the debt incurred for water-sup
ply systems and the total valuation of such systems is
of especial interest. The valuation of the water-supply
systems reported for 1910, as shown in Table 18, was
$783,126,016. For these properties Table 21 shows a
debt of $387,362,964, or 49.4 per cent of the valuation,
as compared with 46.7 per cent in 1909 and 45.2 per
cent in 1908. In four cities—San Francisco, Cal.;
Cambridge, Mass.; Portland, Me.; and Atlantic City,
N. J.—the debt incurred for the water-supply system
was in excess of its valuation.
A more precise classification of debt obligations
according to purpose of issue on the part of the several
cities is still to be desired. This is particularly the
case with the special assessment debt, of the total
amount of which, SI 17,935,073, as shown by Table 20,
no less than $65,211,294, or 55.3 per cent, can be
classed only as issued for combined or unreported
purposes. It is a gratifying fact, however, that the
officials of a number of important cities are taking an
increased interest in this matter, and it is hoped that
their example may be generally followed.
Comparison of funded debt and special assessment
loans with value of properties.—The classification of
funded debt and special assessment loans according
to the purpose to which the proceeds were devoted pro
vides a basis for comparison between the amount of such
debts and loans and the value of the properties on
account of which they were incurred, as shown in
Table 18. Unfortunately, the purposes for which
debt obligations were issued are often not stated
clearly, so that in many cases the ratio between
the vilue of the lands, buildings, and equipment
of departments, and the debt incurred for their
acquisition can not be accurately determined. The
greater part of the debt incurred for the acquisition
of departmental properties is included under the
heading "Issued for general purposes" in Table 21,
though considerable amounts appear in the columns
headed "Issued for refunding" and "Issued for fund

DESCRIPTION OF ENERAL TABLESments in error and all other duplications except serv

The service and interest transfers included in Table 3
constituted 2.1 per cent of the revenue receipts, and
1.8 per cent of the governmental cost payments; the
net governmental receipts thus constituted 97.9 per
cent of the total revenue receipts, and the net gov
ernmental cost payments constituted 98.2 per cent
of the total governmental cost payments. The per
centage of service and interest transfers was largest
in Group land smallest in Group III. These are
the groups whose funds with investments hold the
largest and the smallest relative amounts of city se
curities" as investments, and which thus have the
largest and the smallest relative amounts of interest
transfer receipts.
Of the total receipts from revenues, 62.4 per cent
were from property, business, and poll taxes. The per
centages from this source of revenue for the different
groups of cities were fairly uniform, though that for
Group II was less than that for any other group. The
only cities of over 100,000 inhabitants that realized less
than 50 per cent of their revenues from property, busi
ness, and poll taxes were Washington, D. C, 41.4 per
cent; Jersey City, N. J., 40.2 per cent; Kansas City,
Mo., 45.9 per cent; Seattle, Wash., 31.8 per cent;
Portland, Oreg., 39.4 per cent; Oakland, CaL, 41.7 per
cent; Birmingham, Ala., 35.1 per cent; and Spokane,
Wash., 34.8 per cent.
Of the cities having between 30,000 and 100,000 in
habitants, 18 realized less than 50 per cent of their net
revenue receipts from these taxes, the city showing the
smallest percentage, 22.8, being West Hoboken, N. J.
All cities had receipts from licenses and permits, in
cluding liquor and other business licenses. The per
centage of receipts from this class of revenue varied
from 27.2 for Birmingham, Ala., to 0.1 for Somerville,
Mass.; Portland, Me.; and Maiden, Newton, and
Quincy, Mass. In addition to Birmingham, Ala., the
following cities received more than 20 per cent of their
net revenue from licenses and permits: Joliet, 111., 24.7
per cent; East St. Louis, 111., 24.1 per cent; Norfolk,
Va., 21.2 per cent; and Macon, Ga., 20.2 per cent.
Of the 184 cities covered by this report, 181 had re
ceipts from special assessments and the following
cities derived more than a third of their revenue from
this source: Seattle, Wash., 43.3 per cent; Portland,
Oreg., 34.4 per cent; Oakland, CaL, 36 per cent;
Tacoma, Wash., 33.5 per cent; and Oklahoma City,
Okla., 36 per cent.
From subventions, grants, gifts, and donations,
Washington, D. C, derived a larger percentage of its
revenues than from taxes. Most of this revenue was
from a grant by the United States Government to
defray a part of the costs of maintaining the city
government. The entire subvention for West Hobo
ken, N. J., 44.2 per cent, was received from the state
and county for educational purposes.
63
From public service enterprises the following cities
derived more than a fourth of their revenue: Holyoke, Mass., 35.5 per cent; Jacksonville, Fla., 41.1
per cent; Lancaster, Pa., 30.1 per cent; Wheeling,
W. Va., 28.9 per cent; Jamestown, N. Y., 25.2 per
cent; and Lansing, Mich., 27.6 per cent.
Payments for outlays constituted 32.6 per cent of
the total payments for governmental costs. Twelve
cities had larger percentages of governmental cost
payments for outlays than for expenses and interest.
The percentages of the governmental cost payments
of these cities represented by their payments.for out
lays are as follows: Los Angeles, CaL, 62.7; Seattle,
Wash., 64.7; Portland, Oreg., 70; Memphis, Tenn.,
49.6; Spokane, Wash., 67.6; Tacoma, Wash., 58.6;
Kansas City, Kans., 68; Fort Worth, Tex., 58.5;
Oklahoma City, Okla., 76.2; Fort Wayne, Ind., 49.2;

TABLE 27.
Governmental cost payments for expenses other than of
public service enterprises, total and per capita.—In this
table are presented the governmental cost payments,
total and per capita, for expenses other than of public
service enterprises, arranged in most cases according to
the main groups of municipal departments, offices, and
accounts given in Table 9, but in a few cases showing
separately the payments for the more important in
dividual departments, such as police and fire depart
ments and schools.
Group I shows the highest per capitafiguresfor all
•the expenses included in the table, Groups II, III, and
IV following in order. The same order occurs in the
per capita expenditures of Groups I, II, and III for
each of the specified purposes, but the figures for
Group IV are in several instances larger than those
for Group III. Thefiguresfor individual cities of the
different groups show striking variations, indicating
that there are other factors besides size which influence
expense payments.
The high per capita payments for courts and other
general governmental expenses in the cities of Group I
are largely due to the fact that New York, N. Y.; Phila
delphia, Pa.; St. Louis,Mo.; Boston,Mass.; Baltimore,
Md.; San Francisco, Cal.; New Orleans,La.; and Wash
ington, D. C, maintain all the executive and judicial
functions usually maintained by counties. To secure
comparability between the payments for courts and
other functions in these cities tnd in other cities

of Group I which exercise no county functions, certain
percentages of the payments for expenses of county
government of the other cities of Group I are combined
with the city payments, as has been explained in the
discussion of Table 3, page 29. This combination of
payments for county and city expenses secures com
parability of per capita payments for court and other
general governmental expenses for all of the cities of
Group I, but those payments are not comparable with
similar payments for other cities, with the exception
of Denver, Colo., for which city thefiguresof the table
include the per capita payments for the expenses of
the county as well as those of the city.
Comparative summary: 1902 - 1909.—In Table
XXXI, which follows, are shown the per capita pay
ments for different classes of expenses other than
those of public service enterprises for all cities covered
by the different census reports from 1902 to 1910 and
for the different groups of cities. There has been a
general increase in the total number of cities covered
by the reports as cities have reached, or have been
estimated to have reached, a population of over 30,000.
There has also been some shifting of the cities among
the different groups from year to year, but this has
had no appreciable effect upon the per capita pay
ments for the several groups.

FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES.

The classification of property belonging to railroads,
telegraph companies, and a number of similar corpo
rations, 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 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/7
under which are also tabulated those property and
franchise valuations of corporations for which the
details secured were insufficient to supply data for a
more complete tabulation.
Reported lasis of assessment in practice.—The
reported basis of assessment in practice is for most
cities an estimate, furnished by city officials, of the
percentage which the assessed valuation of property
forms of its true value. For certain of the cities of
Minnesota, Washington, and Wisconsin thefigureswere
obtained from the state tax commissions and represent
approximately the proportion that the assessed value
bears to the selling value, thefiguresgiven having
been determined by a critical investigation involving
a comparison between the assessed valuations of prop
erty sold and the considerations received at such sales.
The figures for both real and personal property for
most cities outside of these three states are far from
correct, although those for real property are the more
trustworthy.
Tax rates.—The rates of levy for general property
taxes per SI,000 of assessed valuation and per $1,000
of reported true value are given in detail for the
several taxing districts. In the case of cities in which
property is taxed at two or more rates the figures
shown in Table 29 represent average rates, the specific
rates of levy for the various divisions of the govern
ment of such cities being given in Table XXXII,
which follows. The rates based on the reported
true value are subject to all the errors in the
estimates given in the column headed "Reported
basis of assessment in practice (per cent of true
value)."
Taxfemes*—Underthe heading * 'General property
taxes" are included all general property taxes levied
for all divisions of the municipal governments. In
certain cases the result obtained by applying the given
rate to the assessed valuation differs from the amount
of levy reported, the variation being due to some one
or more of the many factors affecting the tax lists,
such as the addition of supplementary tax lists,
changes in valuation, and the abatement of taxes.
These variations are all trifling, however, and are
referred to only for the purpose of calling attention to
the complexity of the data relating to taxes and the
difficulty of securing accuracy in all details.
Special methods of assessment and taxation.—The
assessed valuation of property subject to general
property taxes in divisions of the city government
having two or more rates of levy, together with the
specific levies in the different districts of the cities, are
given in Table XXXII. Table XXXIII similarly
shows the assessed valuation subject to special
property taxes and the specific levies for cities levy
ing such taxes at two or more rates. These tables
thus show for each city the assessed valuations of
property subject to different rates of taxation, to
gether with the local rates and the amounts of taxes
levied.

Table XXXIV shows the assessed valuation of
property subject to special property taxes together
with the special property taxes levied in New York
cities on bank stock and on mortgages recorded in
1910. The tax on bank stock is levied at the rate
of 1 per cent; that on mortgages is levied at the rate
of one-half of 1 per cent, and is collected by the
county, which, after deducting the cost of collection,
distributes the proceeds—one-half to the state and the
other half to the taxing district in which the mort
gaged property is situated. The bank tax levy for
Troy included $402 distributed to the Lansingburgh
school district.

Summary of appropriations, receipts, payments, and
balances for schools.—Table 30 presents a summary of
school appropriations, receipts, payments, and balances
for 178 of the 184 cities covered by this report. It
was impracticable to secure complete statistics for the
other 6 cities, because their schools are under county
control and operated, in each case, as a part of the
county school system. The estimated payments for
the expenses of these schools are, however, presented
in Table XXXVII, on page 75.

FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF CITIES.
the total payments for the expenses of supervision
referred to are included under one or the other of the
two titles above mentioned by reason of the fact that
the local accounts are so kept that no proper segrega
tion of the two classes of expenses could be secured.
It should be noted that the expenses of the super
visors of grades and subjects and those of principals
include the salaries of the clerks employed to assist
them.
The character of the payments shown in the columns
headed "Salaries of teachers" and "Free textbooks"
is fully indicated by their titles. In the column
with the title "Other supplies used in instruction"
are included payments for such supplies as maps,
charts, globes, paper, pencils, erasers, rulers, and chalk;
the wood, clay, metal, and tools used in art and manual
training instruction; the cloth, scissors, and cooking
supplies used in domestic science instruction; type
writers and supplies used in instruction in commer
cial branches; laboratory apparatus and supplies, in
cluding chemicals and biological material; gas, elec
tricity, and fuel for cooking and manual training; and
all materials destroyed in the using, as well as the
charges for freight, express, and cartage on such
supplies.
In the column headed "School library" are in
cluded the salaries and other expenses not only for
libraries maintained exclusively for the benefit of the
teachers and pupils of certain schools, but also for those
maintained by boards of education for the use of the
general public. The expenses for the two classes of
libraries can readily be distinguished by the fact that
those for libraries maintained for the use of the public
are tabulated on a line by themselves with the desig
nation "Library" in the stub, while those for school
purposes only are tabulated with the expenses of the
particular class of schools using them. Table 31, by
including statistics of the cost of operating and main
taining these public libraries and other exceptional in
stitutions and branches of service, gives a complete
statement of the expenses of all the different activities
under school authorities and financed from school
revenues or appropriations; but in computing the per
capita cost of school instruction, these special costs
must be disregarded, or the figures obtained will not
be comparable.
In the column with the title "All other" are included
those costs of instruction, such as expenses con
nected with graduation exercises and flags for school
buildings, which are not assignable to any of the other
columns in this division of the table.
Expenses of operation of school plant.—Under the
foregoing heading are shown all payments for the
operation of the school plant, including those for
salaries and wages of janitors, engineers, and others
employed in this branch of the school service, together
with the payments for janitors' and other supplies,
fuel, light, water, and power.
Expenses of maintenance of school plant.—Under the
heading "Expenses of maintenance of school plant"
are shown payments for the maintenance of the build
ings and grounds of the school system, including
those for repairs and insurance, which are tabulated
in columns with descriptive headings.
Miscellaneous expenses.—Under the heading "Mis
cellaneous expenses" are tabulated the payments to
private schools and institutions, to schools and insti
tutions of other civil divisions, and to schools for the
instruction or care of children who from choice or ne
cessity are attending or are confined at the school for
which or to which the money is paid; payments for the
transportation of pupils to andfromschools; payments
for pensions granted to teachers and employees; and
payments for rent of school buildings. In the case of a
few cities payments for other objects are tabulated as
for "Miscellaneous expenses," because the method of
keeping the accounts in these cities was such that pay
ments could not be otherwise classified.

Schools for colored pupils.—The payments for the
expenses of schools for colored pupils in the 35 cities
for which separate statistics could bo obtained

TABLE 32.
Expenses of general administration of schools.—Table

of the 184 cities having a population of over 30,000
in 1910 for the general administration of all schools,
including subsidiary educational activities and exten
sions. The expenses of general administration are clas
sified by object under the two headings, "Salaries and
wages" and "Other objects." They are also classified
by branch of administration as "Expenses of business
administration" and "Expenses of educational ad
ministration." The expenses of each branch of ad
ministration are further classified by office or item of
account for which incurred, the expenses of the first
branch being segregated under eight separate head
ings and those of the second under four.
The total payments of the 178 cities covered by the
table for the expenses of general administration of
schools amounted to 85,245,234, of which S3,120,661,
or 59.5 per cent, were reported by the cities of Group
I; 8833,655, or 15.9 per cent, by the cities of Group
II; 8725,861, or 13.8 per cent, by the cities of Group
III; and S565,057, or 10.8 per cent, by the cities of
Group IV. The city of New York paid for general
administrative expenses 81,039,774, or 19.8 per cent
of the total for all of the 178 cities; Chicago was next
in order, with 8.9 per cent of the total.
Of the total expenses of general administration,
84,031,607, or 76.9 per cent, were paid for salaries
and wages, and Sl,213,627, or 23.1 per cent, for
other objects. The salaries and wages were those

fact that while there is a tendency for the payments
for school expenses per 1,000 inhabitants to increase
with the size of the city, there is no such tendency in
the case of the interest on the value of school prop
erty. The latter is the same for Group IV as for
Group I, and the average for both these groups is
somewhat higher than that for all cities combined and
considerably higher than the averages for Groups II
and III. The average payments for school expenses,
like the average total costs, were lowest in Group III.
As a rule, cities for which the average payments for
expenses were low were the ones with low averages

interest on school property; and vice versa, those
with very high average payments for expenses reported
high interest costs, although there were a few excep
tions which in some cases arose from faulty valuations
of school property. The cities of the several groups
with the highest and lowest costs per 1,000 inhabit
ants for school operation and maintenance were as
follows:
Group I: Boston, Mass., $7,867; New Orleans, La., $3,313.
Group II: Spokane, Wash., $6,520; Birmingham, Ala., $2,632.
Group III: Springfield, Mass., $7,729; Charleston, S. 0., $1,982.
Group IV: Newton, Mass., $10,534; Portsmouth, Va., $1,746.
The cities in the same groups reporting the highest
and the lowest payments for expenses per 1,000 inhab
itants were:.
Group I: Boston, Mass., $6,772; New Orleans, La., $2,924.
Group II: Denver, Colo., $5,480; Birmingham, Ala., $2,074.
Group III: Springfield, Mass., $6,449; Charleston, S. C , $1,660.
Group IV: Newton, Mass., $8,616; Portsmouth, Va., $1,513.
The cities in these four groups with the largest and
the smallest reported interest cost per 1,000 inhabitants
were:
Group I:
Group II:
Group III:
Group IV:
Boston, Mass., $1,094; Baltimore, Md., $351.
Spokane, Wash., $1,074; Atlanta, Ga., $362.
Duluth, Minn., $1,501; Charleston, S. C, $323.
Newton, Mass., $1,918; Charlotte, N. 0., $182.
Boston and Newton, Mass., reported the highest aver
ages both for expenses and for interest, and Charles
ton, S. C, the lowest, in their respective groups.
For every group except Group II the city reporting
the highest average payments for expenses also re
ported the highest average total cost. In Group II
Spokane, Wash., reported the highest average total
cost and Denver, Colo., the highest average for expenses,
although the latter average was but slightly greater
than that for Spokane, which reported the highest aver
age cost for interest on the investment in school prop
erty. The lowest average total cost and the lowest
average payments for expenses were in each case
reported by the same city.
Averages per 1,000 pupils in regular attendance.—
The average payments for the expenses of the four
classes of schools per 1,000 pupils in regular attendance
in the 170 cities for which figures are presented
were $38,499. The average for the cities of Group I,
$41,410, was considerably higher than the averages for
the other three groups, which were $35,307, $35,042,
and $32,813, respectively. These averages show, as do
the averages presented in Table 34, a general tendency
for school expenses to increase with the size of the
cities. The largest and the smallest averages for the
cities of the several groups were as follows:
Group I:
Group II;
Group III:
Group IV:
Washington, D. C, $45,577; Baltimore, Md., $29,362.

Administrative officers.—The percentage of persons
employed as administrative officers increases from
Group I to Group IV, being three times as great in the
latter as in the former group. The largest actual and
relative number of administrative officers reported for
any individual city was for Pittsburgh, Pa., in which
there were 101 such officers, which constituted 11.1 per
cent of all school employees reported for the city. This
large number was due to the numerous independent
school districts which existed in that city in 1910.
For a few cities no report as to administrative officers
was secured.
