IN T R O D U C T IO N
U se o f th e S ta tis tic a l A b stracts— The Statistical Abstract of the United States
summarizes the large mass of statistical information published by various govern­
mental agencies and certain nongovernmental organizations, and also includes
some inform ation not published elsewhere. Im portant data on the industrial,
social, and econom ic organization of the Nation are brought together in one
volum e to serve as a convenient reference manual.
The Statistical Abstract not only provides a summary of statistical inform ation
but it also serves as a guide to various sources of statistical data. T o this end
every table in the Abstract is annotated as to its source. In addition, a bibliog­
raphy of sources of data including references to sources not represented in the
Abstract, is included for more general uses.
If the inform ation on a particular subject presented in the Statistical Abstract
is not sufficiently detailed, the user can refer to the publications of the agency
responsible for the data. Frequently the original source from which a table has
been taken contains discussions of the definitions and concepts used and presents
inform ation for smaller areas or with additional cross classifications. Occasion­
ally, the agency has still more detailed inform ation that can be made available
from unpublished records.
S ta tis tic s fo r 1 9 4 3 .— The 1943 edition of the Statistical Abstract, the 65th in a
continuous annual series, is issued at a time when the need for statistical data is
great but shortage of tim e and personnel and the requirements of national security
operate to diminish the amount of new material that can be presented. New
needs created or made apparent by defense and war requirements however, have
resulted in the collection of new inform ation and the expansion of im portant
series already in existence. As a result of the war it is safe to say that more
quantitative inform ation is being prepared and used than in any previous com pa­
rable period, and that the principal emphasis is on up-to-the-m inute data that can
be used im mediately for reaching administrative decisions. This emphasis is
illustrated by the developm ent of a large number of current reports collected
from critical segments of the war econom y for use by those agencies of govern­
ment responsible for wartime controls. Such reporting on rapid time schedules
has been developed in connection with the war controls of materials, flow and
production, foreign trade and lend-lease, rationing, and other aspects of the w ar
econom y. While much of this inform ation is still restricted and cannot be pu b­
lished, some of the inform ation so gathered is now being made available to the
ublic through the “ Facts for Industry” series prepared by the W ar Production
oard in cooperation with the Bureau o f the Census and other agencies and
through other reports.
R ev isio n s in th e C u rre n t E dition.— This edition presents a total of 1,009 tables
of data as compared with 996 in the 1942 edition. M ajor revisions introduced
in the preparation of this issue involve regroupings of material within sections,
the virtual com pletion of new material from the 16th Census of the United States,
and the elimination of data deemed to be obsolete.
Am ong new topics covered in the 1943 edition of the Statistical Abstract are
internal m igration and fertility in the section on Area and Population; life table
values, notifiable diseases, and hospital facilities in the section on Vital Statistics;
offense rates, arrests, and criminal proceedings in the section on Crime and Crimi­
nals; labor turn-over in the section on the labor force; votes cast in State-wide
elections in the section on Elections; balance sheet and incom e-account data for
electric utilities in the section on P ow er; truck and bus inform ation in the section
on Public Roads and M otor Vehicles; operation of interstate m otor carriers of
property and passengers in the Air and Land Transportation section; and public
housing in the Construction and Housing section. In addition, a large num ber of
minor revisions appear throughout the book.
Section 5 in this edition, Labor Force, including Em ploym ent, Hours, and
Earnings, has been form ed from material in tw o sections of the 1942 edition, and
replaces the section title, Wages, Hours of Labor, and Em ploym ent. Section 8
of the 1942 edition, M ilitary and Civil Service, Elections, and Congressional
Representation, has been divided into tw o sections in this edition; section 6,
M ilitary and Civil Service, and section 9, Elections. The section on Postal
Service has been com bined with that on Com m unication Systems, and the section

g

on The National Park System is now included in Public Lands. D efectives and
Delinquents, which form ed a separate section in 1942, has been discontinued.
Som e of the material is now included under Vital Statistics, while other material
has been augm ented and forms a new section on Crime and Criminals.
In addition the form of the table of contents has been changed so that the
organization of the volum e is presented more concisely. The expansion o f the
index at the end of the volum e during the past few years makes unnecessary the
listing of each individual table title in the table of contents.
P u b lic C oop eration .— The response of users of the 1942 edition of the Statistical
A bstract to the return post card inserted in that edition has made available addi­
tional inform ation on the needs of the users of the Abstract. This inform ation
is being utilized in planning future editions in order to im prove the service ren­
dered. An encouraging feature has been the large num ber of letters containing
both praise and criticism of this volume. The suggestions and com m ents have
been carefully evaluated and, insofar as they conform with the broad objectives
of the volum e and the general needs of the users, have been adopted. Other
suggestions have pointed the way to needed investigations that will be m ade in
the near future.
Further comments and suggestions will be given careful con ­
sideration.
S u p p le m e n ts to th e S ta tis tic a l A b stra c t.— Another result of the various requests
o f users has been the preparation of a supplement to the Statistical A bstract
presenting data from various sources for each city which had 25,000 or m ore
inhabitants in 1940. Because of limitations of space, it is seldom possible to
show within the annual volum e data other than on a national basis, with geo­
graphic distributions by State and sometimes for large cities. M any uses, how ­
ever, call for summary inform ation for specific local areas, and the first supple­
m ent has been prepared in answer to some of these needs. Other supplements
m ay be prepared from time to time to fill such needs. Copies of the Cities Supple­
m ent may be obtained by writing to the D irector of the Census, W ashington 25.

Area figures for each census year represent all continental area under jurisdiction of United States
on indicated date, including in some cases considerable areas not then organized or settled, and not covered
by the census.
2 Percentage increases are based on population change since preceding census; hence, do not include ad­
justments for differences in intervening time periods which, because of differences in census dates, were
not always exactly 10 years.
3 Revised.

[Estimates, except those for continental United States, 1900 to 1943, for Hawaii, 1930 to 1942, and for Puerto
Rico, 1940 to 1942, are based on linear interpolation or extrapolation of census figures. Estimates for the
United States, 1900 to 1910, are the sums of State estimates based on available local data indicative of
population change. Estimates for the United States, 1910 to 1943, for Hawaii, 1930 to 1942, and for Puerto
Rico, 1940 to 1942, are based on birth and death statistics and on statistics of civilian emigration and
immigration. Figures for the United States do not include troops abroad.]

N o te .— The population of continental United States has been divided by the total land area in order to
obtain the density figures here presented. For each State or Territory the population as returned at a
given census has been divided b y the land area as constituted at the time that census was taken. The
1930 data, however, are based on the revised land areas used for computing the 1940 density figures and,
therefore, differ from the 1930 density data previously published. T h e areas of Indian reservations,
outside of Indian Territory, are included in the areas of the several States and Territories, although the
population was not ascertained and cannot be considered in figuring density of population prior to 1890.

[Figures for 1931 to 19 3 9 are revised estimates based on 1930 and 1940 census figures, State census figures
for States which had State censuses, birth and death data, migration data from the 1940 census, and
other available local data, such as school census and school enrollment figures. Estimates for 1940 to
19 4 2 are based on the 1 9 4 0 census, on registrations for W ar Ration Book One, and on estimated births,
deaths, and migration after Apr. 1, 19 4 0 . For each year, State figures have been adjusted to add to an
independent estimate of population of the United States, based on 1930 and 1940 censuses and on annual
data on births, deaths, immigration, and emigration. For enumerated population, 1790 to 1 9 4 0 , see
table 6, p. 4]

1940 POPULATION SAMPLES
Certain data in tables 25, 26, and the following tables are based on
tabulations of samples of the population. The figures shown have been
obtained by multiplying the sample results by a factor dependent on the
sample size in each case. Sample B is a sample of all individuals from
the 1940 Population Schedule; Sample C ,and Sample W are samples of
individual women 15 years old and over from the 1940 and 1910 Popula­
tion Schedules, respectively; Sample D, a sample of families from the 1940
Population Schedule; and Sample F, a sample of families based for some
subjects on 1940 Population Schedule entries, and for other subjects on
1940 Housing Schedule entries. For Sample B, the sample size is 5 per­
cent. Samples C, D( and F are 5 percent in most areas, but they include
2% percent samples in areas with sufficiently large frequencies. Sample W
consists of an 8 percent sample for the North and the South, and about
12 percent for the West.
Exact agreement is not to be expected among the various samples, nor
between them and the complete count, but the sample data may be used
with confidence when large numbers are involved, and may be assumed
to indicate patterns and relationships where small numbers are involved.
Specifically, any number the size of a million or over may be assumed to
agree with a complete count within V /i percent, though most numbers of
this size will agree within % percent. Any number the size of 100,000
may be assumed to agree with a complete count within 4 percent, though
most numbers this size will agree within 2 percent. Most numbers as
small as 10,000 will agree within 10 percent. The sampling errors in
subtotals formed by addition of classes are covered by the same statements.
More detailed statements regarding the sampling errors are given in the
original sources.

[All classifications of 1940 population according to country of birth are based on political boundaries of
Jan. 1,1937. Classification of population at earlier censuses is based for the most part on political bound­
aries of those years. For most countries of Europe the total foreign-born population given for 1900 is
almost entirely white.]

^Statistics for 1935 to 1940 and 1930 to 1935 based on Sample C , and those for 1905 to 1910 based on Sample W ;
see p. 29. Urban-rural classification is in accordance with 1940 definitions (see headnote, table 10). A
net reproduction rate of 1,000 means that each generation would just replace itself, if birth and death rates
of specified period were to continue indefinitely, in the absence of net immigration. A rate above 1,000
implies a potentially gaining population, and a rate below 1,000, a potentially declining population.
A gross reproduction rate of 1,000 means that if all women born at beginning of generation were to live
through their reproductive period and continue birth rates existing at time of their birth, they would
barely reproduce themselves, assuming no migration from outside the area. Where gross reproduction
rate is less than 1,000, no improvement in mortality alone would prevent potential decline in population.
Rates not shown for nonwhite in areas having, in 1940, less than 25,000 nonwhite women 15 to 49 years old]

2 VITAL STATISTICS
(IN C L U D IN G H E A L T H A N D M E D IC A L C A R E )
[Statistics in this section relate to continental United States except those in table 81]

GENERALNOTE
B irth s a n d

D e a t h s .— Births and deaths are registered b y the States, and transcripts of the original

certificates are received and tabulated by the Bureau of the Census. Although the system for the collec­
tion of death statistics was formed in 1880, it was not until 1900 that mortality data were collected on an
annual basis. The original registration States consisted of 10 States and the District of Columbia in 1900
but since then there has been a gradual expansion of the registration system. However, it was not until
1933 that all of the States were represented in the United States registration area. The national collection
of birth statistics was begun in 1915, with 10 States and the District of Columbia, and by 1933 all of the
States were included in the birth-registration system. The registration of births was 92.5 percent complete
in the United States in 1940. Estimates of completeness of registration by color, city size, and States are
given in table 70.
Because of the gradual growth of the “ registration” systems (see tables 64, 65, and 71), the number of
births and deaths recorded for the years prior to 1933 are not comparable, but, in most cases, the rates for
the birth- and death-registration States may be regarded as good approximations of the national figures.
In the previous editions of the Statistical Abstract of the United States, most of the birth and death
statistics were compiled according to the places in which the births or the deaths occurred. These figures
are of interest and value but inasmuch as the population census is compiled according to the usual place of
residence, the tabulation of vital statistics by place of occurrence has seriously restricted, for certain pur­
poses, the use of these data. Also, place of occurrence data are greatly affected by migration to areas where
hospital and institution facilities for medical care or for childbirth exist. Therefore, vital statistics based
upon the place of residence of the mother of the child or upon the place of residence of the decedent are
generally to be preferred over data tabulated according to the place of occurrence of the births or deaths.
Place of residence tabulations on an annual basis are available for the United States beginning in 1937.
However, for convenience, the data published in this section include place-of-residence statistics starting
with the year 1940. All data prior to 1940, except where noted, are by place of occurrence. This apparent
discontinuity is not particularly serious since the place-of-residence statistics do not differ from those by
place of occurrence for the entire United States. Also the State totals, except in certain cases, are not appre­
ciably different.
In the interpretation of crude rates, cognizance must be taken of the differences in the distribution of the
population according to such factors as age, race, and sex. This is of particular importance if the crude death
rates are to be used as indexes of the health conditions of a community, or if crude birth rates are to be used
as a measure of intrinsic biologic fertility.
D ata for stillbirths are excluded from the figures for both births and deaths. Rates, except as noted, are
based on the latest midyear estimates of the population and may differ from those appearing in other p u b ­
lications.

[B ata are from arrest records, evidenced by fingerprint cards received at the F. B . I. during year, and are limited to instances of arrests for violations of State laws and municipal
ordnances. Fingerprint cards representing arrests for violations of Federal laws or representing commitments to any type of penal institution are excluded. D ata do not
represent all persons arrested, as fingerprint cards are not forwarded to Washington for every individual taken into custody. Numbers of arrest records in lower age groups are
probably incomplete because of practice of some jurisdictions not to fingerprint youthful offenders]

compiling immigration and emigration statistics, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico,
beginning with 1904,1901, and 1902, respectively, have been treated as integral parts of the United States.
In prior years the transfer of population between these areas and the United States was treated as im m i­
gration and emigration. The movement of population between the Philippine Islands and the United
States was treated as immigration and emigration prior to July 1, 1898, and has been so treated since
M a y 1, 1934, but was not accounted for in the statistics for the period between those dates.

N o t e .— For 1851 to 1867 figures represent alien passengers arriving; for 1868 to 1903, immigrants arriving;
for 1904 to 1906, aliens admitted; thereafter, immigrant aliens admitted. Data prior to 1906 cover coun­
tries whence aliens came; thereafter, countries of last permanent residence. Owing to changes in the
lists of countries separately reported and to changes in boundaries, data for certain countries are not
comparable throughout. Countries added to the list since the beginning of the W orld W ar were there­
tofore included with the countries to which they belonged. Data are to ta ls (not annual averages) for
periods ended June 30 since 1870, Dec. 31 theretofore, except as noted.

N o t e .— T he Immigration A ct of 1921 limited the number of aliens admitted annually of any nationality
subject to the quota law, to 3 percent of the number of foreign-born persons of such nationality resident
in continental United States as determined by the census of 1910; the population plan of the act of 1924,
to 2 percent according to the census of 1890. The national origins clause of the latter act, which became
effective July 1, 1929, provided that the quota of anj; nationality should be computed by applying to
160,000 the ratio between the calculated number of inhabitants in continental United States in 1920
owing their origin to the nationality concerned and the total inhabitants in the United States of all
nationalities subiect to the quota law. (For estimates of white population by countries of origin, calcu­
lated as a basis for immigration quotas, see table 97, Statistical Abstract, 1932.) Under the act of 1924,
the m inim um quota is 100. Both immigrant and nonimmigrant aliens may appear in quota law sta­
tistics, or aliens of both classes may not be counted against quotas at all.

1 Includes (a) persons a t w o r k — persons who worked for pay or profit at any time during the week of M ar.
24-30,1940, in private work or nonemergency Federal, State, or local government work, or assisted without
pay on a family farm or in a family business; and (b ) persons w ith a jo b b u t n o t a t w o r k —persons not actually
at work and not seeking work during the week of M ar. 24-30,1940, but with jobs, businesses, or professional
enterprises from which they were temporarily absent because of vacation, illness, industrial dispute, bad
weather, or lay-off not exceeding 4 weeks with definite instructions to return to work on a specific date.
The category E m p lo y e d {ex c ep t o n p u b lic e m e rg e n c y w o rk ) includes not only employees but also proprietors,
farmers, other self-employed persons, and unpaid family workers.
3 Includes persons who, during the week of M ar. 24-30, 1940, were at work on, or assigned to, public emer­
gency work projects conducted b y the W ork Projects Administration (W P A ), the National Youth A d ­
ministration ( N Y A ) , the Civilian Conservation Corps (C C C ), or State or local work relief agencies. In
the interpretation of the data for persons on public emergency work, allowance must be made for the misclassification in the census returns of considerable numbers of public emergency workers. The number of
persons reported in the census as on public emergency work in the United States was 2,529,606, whereas the
number recorded on the pay rolls of the Federal emergency work agencies at about the time of the census was
2,906,196 excluding the N Y A Student W ork Program, and 3,377,978 including that program. The most
common type of misclassification was the reporting of the emergency workers as A t w o r k . Persons on the
N Y A Student W ork Program were very frequently returned as in school and not in the labor force. There
is also evidence that a considerable number of emergency workers were classified as S e e k in g w o r k .
3 Includes persons without work of any sort in the week of M ar. 24-30, 1940, who were actively seeking
work during that week. This category is composed of both experienced and new workers, the latter being
persons who had not previously worked full time for I month or more.

1 Figures for 1900 to 1930 represent gainful workers, that is, persons reported as having a gainful occu­
pation in which they earned money or a money equivalent, or in which they assisted in the production
of marketable goods, regardless of whether they were working or seeking work at the time of the census.
Figures are, therefore, not strictly comparable with those in the labor force for 1940, shown in table 122
and in following tables.

[Persons in the experienced labor force comprise employed persons (except on public emergency work)
persons on public emergency work, and workers seeking work who had formerly worked full time for
1 month or more, see footnotes on table 122. Occupation figures shown below for employed (except on
public emergency work) refer to the occupation in which engaged during census week, and are based on
complete census returns. Occupation figures for remaining experienced labor force groups, not shown
separately in this table, refer to the occupation which the person regarded as his usual occupation and at
which he was still physically able to work, and are based on Sample B , see p. 29. Figures for “ Experi­
enced labor force” , therefore, represent a summation of figures for current and usual occupation based on
complete census returns and Sample B , respectively]

[The indexes and estimates for “ all manufacturing” and the major groups shown in tables 140, 142-144,
have been adjusted to conform to levels indicated by final 1941 and preliminary second quarter 1942 data
made available by the Bureau of Employment Security of The Federal Security Agency. The indexes,
estimates, and averages presented herein supersede those contained in previous issues of the Statistical
Abstract based on 1923-25=100, and are not comparable with data in mimeographed releases for months
prior to January 1943 and in issues of the M onthly Labor Review prior to March 1943. Indexes for in­
dividual industries have been adjusted to levels indicated by the 1939 Census of Manufactures, but not
to Federal Security Agency data]

[Index numbers based on 1923 as 100. Data cover a representative number of plants which employed
2,731,000 workers during 1942. The earnings are computed b y weighting the average earnings in each
industry according to the relative importance of the industry as revealed by the Federal Biennial
Census of Manufactures for 1923. In addition, each labor group is weighted according to the relative
proportion of the group in each industry as revealed in the Conference Board’s studies during the 3-year
period 1927-29. The pay-roll data are based upon the first full week in each month, or, if a generally
recognized holiday falls in that week, upon the succeeding week].

[1939 average=100.0. The index numbers of average weekly earnings in this table are derived from the
employment and pay-roll indexes shown in table 141. The index numbers of cost of living are those
shown in table 443, p. 404, converted to the 1939 base. The significance of changes in average earnings
is affected by such considerations as labor productivity, labor cost per unit of output, labor turnover,
and wholesale prices. Such qualifying data are embodied in detailed reports of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics]

[Turnover rates are not comparable to the employment and pay-roll data presented in tables 140-144, as
the former are based on data for the entire month, while the latter refer only to pay periods ending
nearest the middle of the month. In addition, labor turnover data refer to all employees whereas the
employment and pay-roll data relate only to wage earners. Certain seasonal industries, such as canning
and preserving, are not covered by the labor turnover survey and the sample is not as extensive as that of
the employment survey which includes a larger number of small plants]

WAGES AND HOURS

No. 1 5 3 .— W age R ates per H our and H ours per W eek — I ndexes of
U nion Scales in B uilding and Printing T rades , by Occupations : 1910
to 1943
[Data for the earlier years cover 39 cities. The coverage was gradually extended until 75 cities were included.
Prior to 1938 the figures were based upon the scale prevailing M a y 15 each year. Prom 1938 to 1942 the
study was made as of June 1, except for building trades rates in 1942, which was made as of July 1. In
1943, the data were collected as of July 1 for both the building and printing trades. The relative wages
are percentages which indicate the change in wages per hour. The relative hours are percentages show­
ing the change in the regular full-time hours per week, account not being taken of loss of time from slack
work or other causes, nor of overtime work. Leaders indicate data not available.]

1 5 5 .— Strikes — N umber , W orkers I nvolved , and M an -D ats I dle,
by M ajor I ssues I nvolved : 1928 to 1942

[The term “ strike” is here used in the generic sense to include all stoppages of work due to labor disputes,
whether initiated b y employers (lock-outs) or b y workers. Strikes involving fewer than 6 workers or
lasting less than 1 day are not included. Information regarding strikes is obtained directly from com ­
panies and unions involved as well as from the various Government labor boards, conciliation services
and other neutral parties. Initial leads or notices concerning strikes are obtained largely from the public
press, union publications, and trade journals as well as from the various Government agencies dealing
with labor disputes.]

1 Data for 1940 and 1941 have been revised.
2 Includes officers and enlisted men on active duty in the A rm y, N avy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard,
and nurses on active duty.
3 Data represent averages of number of persons on pay roll for last pay period of month.
4 Personnel data have been adjusted to conform to amount of pay roll obligated during month, and do
not represent an actual count on any given day.
5 Beginning December 1941, military personnel and pay-roll data have not been included in this table.
Figures for 1941, therefore, do not include December 1941 and are revised.

For period prior to 1914, table covers quinquennial years and years in which considerable changes
occurred in Regular Array. Figures for Reserve officers include data for Regular A rm y enlisted m en,
and also, for years prior to 1 9 2 4 , for National Guard officers holding commissions in the Reserve. There is,
therefore, some duplication in the grand totals, but the amount of this duplication is relatively small.

[Retirement for civil-service employees was established b y act of M a y 22, 1920. Under this act and its
amendments, employees of the classified service and certain other groups, including unclassified laborers
subject to labor regulations, are eligible for retirement on annuity. One of the most important enact­
ments of civil service retirement legislation since the inauguration of the system was the amendatory
act of Jan. 24, 1942, Public Law 411, 77th Cong., further amended M ar. 7, 1942. Am ong the important
changes brought about by this law are: Uniform compulsory retirement age of 70 for all employees;
optional retirement at age 60 after at least 30 years' service or at age 62 with 15 or more years of service,
the option to be exercised by either the employee or the head of the department; vested title to annuity
in case of voluntary or involuntary separation after service of at least 5 years; and the establishment of
a new minimum method to provide annuities that are directly related to salaries and service. The
employee contribution rate has been increased from 3 ^ to 5 percent of the basic salary. The employee
contribution rate was 2H percent prior to July 1, 1926, and 3p> percent from that time until the amend­
m ent of Jan. 24,1942. B y act of M ar. 2,1931 (effective July 1,1931), special provision was made for em ­
ployees of the Panama Canal and Panama Canal R . R ., who theretofore had been eligible for retirement
under the civil-service retirement and disability act.]

7. SOCIAL SECURITY
[Data in this section relate to continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii, except as noted]
GENERAL NOTE
O l d - a g e a n d s u r v i v o r s in s u r a n c e .— Federal old-age and survivors insurance, administered by the

Social Security Board under the Social Security Act as amended in August 1939, covers employment in
industry and commerce. Specified employments are excepted, notably agricultural labor, domestic
service in private homes, services for government and for certain types of nonprofit organizations, services
for railroads and certain of their subsidiaries and affiliates, and self-employment. In January 1940, monthly
benefits became payable to qualified workers at age 65 and also to certain dependents of beneficiaries and
certain survivors of insured workers. Benefits are based on the legally defined average wage of the insured
and are paid from the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund, to which is appropriated
annually an amount equal to the total taxes paid by employers and employees under the Federal Insurance
Contributions Act.
E m p l o y m e n t s e c u r i t y .— The Federal-State unemployment compensation program provides for pay­
ments to insured industrial and commercial workers who are able to work but unable to find jobs. Contribu­
tions, based on wages, are paid by employers, and in some States also by employees, to provide funds to be
used solely for the payment of benefits, which are based on prior employment and wages. Under the Social
Security Act the Social Security Board has two statutory responsibilities in administering the unemploy­
ment compensation program. It certifies each year to the Secretary of the Treasury, for purposes of normal
and additional credits under the provisions of the Federal Unemployment Tax A ct, the State unemploy­
ment compensation laws, which conform to the standards prescribed by the Social Security Act; it also
certifies grants to defray necessary costs of administering State unemployment compensation laws for those
States which, in law and administration, conform to the standards prescribed in title III of the act. Funds
are certified in the amounts determined by the Board to be necessary for the proper and efficient adminis­
tration of State unemployment compensation laws, including the administration of State employment
services in connection with the payment of benefits. Nation-wide administration of the State employment
services was assumed by the Social Security Board on Jan. 1,1942, and was transferred to the W ar Manpower
Commission on Dee. 1, 1942.
P u b l i c a ssista n ce .— Under the Social Security Act, the Federal Government shares with the States
the costs of administration and money payments for special types of public assistance (aid to needy persons
aged 65 and over, needy blind, and dependent children under the age of 16 who have been deprived of
parental support, or under the age of 18 if regularly attending school). To receive a Federal grant under
any one of these programs, a State must have a plan approved b y the Social Security Board as meeting the
basic requirements of the act.
S o c i a l in su ran ce a n d p u b l i c a i d .— For analysis of general problems of social security and comparison
of social insurance and public assistance under the Social Security Act with other public provision for in­
surance payments and public aid, the Social Security Board issues data obtained from Federal and State
agencies on benefits and beneficiaries under selected social insurance systems, on earnings and persons
employed on Federal work programs, and on payments and recipients under special types of assistance,
and general assistance.

N o te .—T he Railroad Retirement A ct, as passed in 1935 and amended in 1937, established a Federal retire­
ment system for railroad employees. Employers under the act include carriers—railroads, express com ­
panies, and sleeping car companies, subject to Part I of the Interstate Commerce A ct; carrier affiliates
w hich perform a service in connection with transportation by railroad—refrigerator-car loan companies,
for example; organizations such, as railroad or traffic associations maintained b y 2 or more employers;
and standard railway-labor organizations, national in scope. The act provides for 5 classes of retirement
benefits:
(1) Employee annuities, both disability and old age, based on an em ployee’s years of service and aver­
age m onthly compensation, exclusive of earnings above $300, with employers under the act.
(2) Survivor annuities, paid to the surviving spouse of a deceased em ployee annuitant w ho had elected
a reduced annuity during his or her lifetime in order to provide a lifetime annuity for his or her surviving
spouse.
(3) Death-benefit annuities, paid under the 1935 act to the surviving spouse or dependent next of kin
of a deceased annuitant or of a deceased employee who at the time of his or her death was entitled to
receive an annuity. These annuities are equal to half the annuities paid or payable to the employee
annuitants before their death, and are payable for 12 months.
(4) Lum p-sum death benefits, paid under the 1937 act to 1 or more designated beneficiaries or to 1 or
more of the deceased em ployee’s surviving relatives, as prescribed in the amendment of Apr. 8, 1942.
These benefits are equal to 4 percent of the compensation earned as an employee after Dec. 31, 1936 (ex­
cluding compensation in excess of $300 in any 1 m on th ), less the aggregate amount of any em ployee or
survivor annuities that m ay have been paid. If an employee annuitant had elected a joint-and-survivor
annuity and his or her spouse was alive at the time of his or her death, the death benefit is not payable
until after the death of the spouse.
(5) Pensions paid under the 1937 act to individuals who were, on both M arch 1 and July 1,1937, on the
pension or gratuity rolls of employers under the act and who were not eligible on July 1, 1937, for annui­
ties based in whole or in part on service prior to Jan. 1, 1937. The pensions are equal in amount to the
individual pensions or gratuities granted b y employers, but cannot exceed $120 per month.
T he funds of the retirement system come from an equal tax on employers and employees, based on the
amount of compensation, not in excess of $300 in any 1 calendar month, earned b y each em ployee. The
changes in the tax rate are as follows: Calendar years 1937, 1938, 1939, rate 2% percent; 1940, 1941, 11142,
rate 3 percent; 1943, 1944, 1945, rate 3H percent; 1946, 1947, 1948, rate t y i percent; 1949 and subsequent
years, rate 3% percent. Thus the total amount of the tax available for the first 3 years of the system is
5j4 percent of total employee compensation (as defined above), and for the year 1949 and thereafter it
will be
percent.
Figures for annuities and pensions include amounts payable for a given m onth on all claims certified
to the end of the month and still in force, and retroactive m onthly payments on claims initially certi­
fied or recertified during the month. Cancelations and repayments of amounts certified in previous
months are deducted.

period during which annuity began to accrue. Figures for terminations b y death are for period during
which notice of death was received and not for period during which beneficiary died. Cum ulative
figures exclude claims declared ineligible, erroneous certifications, and erroneous reports of death. Inforce figures as of any date include only certifications made up to that date, less terminations by death
reported b y that date; they are also adjusted for recertifications, reinstatements, and terminations other
than by death (suspension, return to service, recovery from disability, and commutation to lump-sum

In a few cases payments are made to more than 1 survivor on account of the death of a single individual.
Such paym ents are here counted as single items. Terminations include those b y death and b y expiration
of 12-month period for which death-benefit annuities are payable.
Practically all terminations are of the
latter type.

1 State of residence when first check was mailed.
2 Represents benefits rather than individual beneficiaries. In 1 case death-benefit annuity was divided
among 7 beneficiaries; in 72 cases, the same individual received both a survivor and death-benefit annuity.
3 Individuals with respect to whose deaths benefits were certified, not individuals certified to receive bene­
fits. About 5 percent of benefits were divided between 2 or more individuals.

[Includes employees covered under Railroad Retirement and Railroad Unemployment Insurance Acts for whom wages were reported b y subject employers. Some of these em­
ployees also had wages taxable under Federal Insurance Contributions Act and are therefore included in preceding tables on old-age and survivors insurance. The earnings in
this table include wages and salaries, commissions, back pay and payments for time lost as an employee, reported b y subject employers; however, the excess over $300 in any one
calendar month for an employee is excluded. A month of service is a calendar month in which service for compensation was rendered to subject employers or with respect to which
payment was made for time lost as an e m p lo y e e .]

The population for apportionment purposes excluded Indians not taxed and, until 1870, two-fifths
of the number of slaves. In 1940, it was held that all Indians are subject to Federal taxation. The appor­
tionment ratios were arbitrarily chosen until 1850. From 1850 to 1900, these ratios were the apportionment
population of the U . S. divided by the number of Representatives. From 1910 on, the apportionments
were computed from priority lists rather than from ratios. There was no apportionment in 1920. For a
discussion of methods of apportionment, see Senate Document N o. 304, 76th Congress, 3d session, “ A
Survey of M ethods of Apportionment in Congress,” by Edward V . Huntington.

1 Where more than 1 proposal was submitted to voters in any 1 city, the total vote for the proposal which
received the highest total vote was expressed as a percent of potential voting population and as a percent
of registration. Registration figures are those reported by election officials.
2 Where more than 1 proposal was approved by voters in any 1 city, the percentage was computed for
the proposal receiving the greatest number of affirmative votes.
3 Only 1 proposal was voted upon; therefore, the “ largest” is the same as the “ smallest” total.

10. NATIONAL GOVERNMENT FINANCES
G e n e r a l n o te a s to b ase s u s e d i n c o m p ilin g s ta tis tic s o f re c e ip ts a n d e x p e n d itu r e s o f th e U n it e d S t a t e s G o v e rn ­
m e n t .— Four different bases are used in compiling both the receipts and expenditures of the Government.

These bases, in the case of receipts, are the daily Treasury statements (unrevised and revised), warrants
issued, and collections reported. The expenditures of the Government are published on the first 3 of
these bases and also on the basis of checks issued. Figures in the daily Treasury statements (unrevised)
which are on a current cash basis are compiled from the latest daily reports from the Treasury offices or
public depositories. Owing to the distance of some of these offices and depositories from the Treasury,
reports from them are somewhat delayed in reaching the Treasury, and consequently it is necessary to issue
the unrevised Treasury statements before they are received. The figures for actual transactions during
a month or year which are calculated to take into account these delayed reports are said to be on a basis
of daily Treasury statements (revised). The unrevised figures are the basis of the Budget estimates
submitted to Congress by the President.
It is provided by law that warrants shall be issued by the Secretary of the Treasury in acknowledg­
ment of money received, and that warrants must be drawn by the Secretary of the Treasury for all dis­
bursements of money. Some of these warrants for expenditures do not represent actual payments but
are merely advances of credit to disbursing officers, who then issue checks in payment of Government
obligations. Expenditures on the basis of warrants issued include unexpended balances to the credit of
disbursing officers at the end of the year but do not include expenditures made during the year from unex­
pended balances of the preceding year.
Expenditures on the basis of checks issued (see table 194, 1941 Statistical Abstract) represent most ac­
curately the actual expenditures during any given year. They differ from expenditures shown by daily
Treasury statements (revised), because they include checks outstanding at the end of the year and exclude
unpaid checks at the beginning of the year.
Government transactions are classified according to the accounts through which they are effected. The
three classes of accounts are: General fund accounts, which include the general revenues and from which
the operating expenses of the Government, including capital outlays and fixed charges, are paid under
appropriations by Congress; special fund accounts, or funds received under special authorizations of law
which are earmarked for some specific purpose; and trust fund accounts, representing money received and
held in trust for the benefit of individuals or classes of individuals. The latter are not strictly Govern
ment moneys and are shown separately in all tables except N o. 258. (See headnote of that table.)
A ll figures for receipts and expenditures include postal surpluses or deficiencies only; postal revenues
other than surplus receipts and postal expenditures payable from postal revenues are shown in table 258.

N o t e .— A ll figures in thousands of dollars. The figures represent collections by internal revenue officers
throughout the country, including deposits by postmasters of amounts received from sale of internal rev­
enue stamps and deposits of internal revenue collected through customs offices, and, therefore, differ
from those in tables 257 to 259 which represent the deposits of these collections in the Treasury or deposi­
tories during the fiscal year concerned, there being thus an overlapping of time. Certain items, included
in the totals in the last column, are shown in detail in the second part of the table.

laws, individuals are required to file returns as follows: (1) Single or married, for 1913 through 1916, those
with net income of $3,000 or over; (2) single, or married and not living with husband or wife, for 1917
through 1924, $1,000 or over; 1925 through 1931, $1,500 or over; 1932 through 1939, $1,000 or over; for 1940,
those with gross income of $800 or over, and for 1941, with $750 or over, regardless of the amount of net
income; (3) married and living with husband or wife, filing a joint return, for 1917 through 1923, those
with net income of $2,000 or over; 1924, $2,500 or over; 1925 through 1931, $3,500 or over; 1932 through
1939, $2,500 or over; for 1940, those with gross income of $2,000 or over, and for 1941, with $1,500 or over,
regardless of the amount of net income; (4) every individual with gross income of $5,000 or over for 1921
through 1939, and as stated above for 1940 and 1941. Data for returns showing no net income, filed in

to file returns on the same basis as single individuals, except that a return is required for every estate
or trust of which any beneficiary is a nonresident alien, and for 1938 through 1941, a return is required
for every trust having a net income of $100 or over. Partnership net profit or net loss is reported on the
individual returns of copartners according to their shares]

1 Am ount before deduction of any credit or exemption allowable in arriving at net income subject to tax.
2 Credits against tax consist of: (1) for 1923, amount of the 25 percent reduction provided by Revenue
Act of 1924, (2) for 1924 through 1931, 25 percent of tax on earned net income, and (3) for 1924 through 1933,
123-6 percent of capital net loss from sales of assets held more than 2 years where such loss has not been de­
ducted in arriving at net income. For all years the credits for (1) tax paid at source and (2) taxes paid
to foreign countries or possessions of the United States are not included in credits against tax as shown
and are not deducted from total tax as shown.
3 Includes war excess-profits tax of $101,250,000 reported on returns of individuals and $103,888,000 on
returns of partnerships.
4 Total tax, for 1938 and subsequent years, includes in addition to normal tax and surtax, alternative
tax on returns with net income: 1938, $278,907,000; 1939, $328,532,000; 1940, $543,299,000; 1940 (prel.),
$536,802,000; and 1941 (preL), $1,067,959,000; defense tax: 1940, $128,350,000; 1940 (prel.), $128,418,000; and
1941 (prel.), $1,142,000 reported on returns with taxable years beginning prior to Jan. 1, 1941; and optional
tax for 1941 (prel.), $360,861,000, reported on Form 1040A. (The alternative tax on returns reporting deficit,
due to net long-term capital loss, which tax amounted to $615,251 for 1938; $300,138 for 1939; $472,953 for
1940, and $2,303,000 for 1941 (prel.), is not included.) See following explanations:
(1) The alternative tax is imposed on returns with net long-term capital gain when such alternative
tax is less than the sum of the normal tax and surtax computed on net income including net long-term
capital gain; the alternative tax is imposed on returns with net long-term capital loss when such alternative
tax is greater than the sum of the normal tax and surtax computed on net income after deducting net long­
term capital loss.
(2) Defense tax is 10 percent of the total income tax before deducting any credit, but not in excess of
10 percent of the amount by which the net income exceeds such income tax.
(3) The optional tax is that paid in lieu of normal tax and surtax by individuals electing to file Form
1040A (for gross income of not more than $3,000 entirely from salary, wages, and compensation for personal
services, dividends, interest, rents, annuities, and royalties).
5 Preliminary figures for 1940 returns filed through June 1941, and for 1941 returns filed through June
1942. Complete figures include additional returns filed to Dec, 31.

[All tabulations from Statistics of Income include data for Alaska, District of Columbia, and Hawaii.
Statistics are based on returns as filed, unaudited except to insure proper execution. A ll corporations are
required to file returns except those specifically exempt, such as mutual, fraternal, civic, and charitable
organizations not operating for profit. Under the Revenue Act of 1934, the privilege of filing a consoli­
dated return for a group of affiliated corporations was limited to common carriers by railroad and their
related leasing and holding companies. The Revenue Act of 1936 extended this privilege to street
suburban, and interurban electric railway corporations. These changes result in marked differences
between returns for 1934 and subsequent years, and those for 1933 and prior years, in net-income or deficit
classification and in size of total assets, as well as in distribution, by industries. Tables showing effect on
tabulated data of discontinuance of privilege of filing consolidated returns except by railroad corporations
will be found in Statistics of Income for 1934, Part 2. In general, corporations are classified industrially
on the one business activity which accounts for the largest percentage of total receipts. Therefore, the
industrial groups contain data for activities other than that on which classification is based. As a result
of the application of the Standard Industrial Classification, the number of major and minor industrial
groups for 1938 and subsequent years has been increased over that for 1937 and prior years. Changes in
the contents of the groups are listed in Statistics of Income for 1938, Part 2.]

1 Returns of inactive corporations prior to 1927 are included in those reporting no net income.
2 For 1922-32, and for 1940 and 1941, net income tabulated is amount before deduction due to net operating
loss of prior year. (For amount of such loss allowed as a deduction from net income in computing taxable
income for 1927-32 and for 1940, see table 276, p. 269). For 1935 and prior years, net income or deficit is
amount reported for income tax computation. For 1936 and later years, net income or deficit is amount
reported for (declared value) excess-profits tax computation and includes dividends received on stock of
domestic corporations subject to taxation under the effective Federal tax law, and interest received on
certain Government obligations subject to excess-profits tax. Beginning 1936, contributions or gifts are
deductible in arriving at net income and are limited to 5 percent of net income before such deduction.
3 For 1918 and subsequent years, income tax, as tabulated, is the amount before deduction of credit for
taxes paid to foreign countries.
4 War profits and excess profits taxes provided by Revenue Act of 1917 were in effect 1917-22; (declared
value) excess-profits tax under the N IR A was in effect for 1933 and subsequent years. For 1940 and 1941,
in addition to declared value excess-profits tax, there is an excess profits tax levied under Second Revenue
Act of 1940.

6 Returns showing deficit, or net income not in excess of $5,000.

1 To improve historical comparability, figures in italics for 1937 and figures for 1938 through 1940 are
adjusted by transferring certain minor groups from the classification in which they are tabulated in tables
275 and 277 to the classification in which they were tabulated for 1937 (figures in roman) in this table.
2 Adjusted for comparison with later years, see note 1.
3 “ Textile-mill products” include “ Clothing and apparel,” for years prior to 1936.

1 Excludes inactive corporations.
2 Adjustments are made in tabulating the data as follows: (1) Reserves for depreciation, depletion, amor­
tization, and bad debts, when reported under liabilities are deducted from the corresponding asset account
and “ Total assets” and “ Total liabilities” are decreased by the amount of such reserves, (2) a deficit reported
under assets is transferred to liabilities, and “ Total assets” and “ Total liabilities” are correspondingly de­
creased, (3) a negative amount reported under assets is transferred to liabilities, and “ Total assets” and
“ Total liabilities” are correspondingly increased.
3 Cash in till and deposits in banks.
4 Less reserve for bad debts. Includes loans and discounts of banks.
* For 1930 through 1933, consists of obligations of States, Territories, or political subdivisions thereof, or
the District of Columbia; securities issued under the Federal Farm Loan Act or such act as amended; and
obligations of the United States or its possessions, the interest on such obligations being wholly tax-exempt;
for 1934 through 1940, there are included in addition to the above, those Government obligations the interest
on which is partially tax-exempt (subject to declared value excess-profits tax).
6
For balance sheets in which common and preferred stock are not reported separately, the combined
amount is tabulated as “ Common stock.” For balance sheets with no par stock and not reporting capital
stock value, the net worth is tabulated under “ Surplus and undivided profits.”
2 Beginning 1937, excludes “ Surplus reserves.”
s Consists of the sum of the positive amounts of “ Paid-in or capital surplus,” “ Earned surplus and un­
divided profits,” and “ Surplus reserves.” If one or more of these amounts are negative, they are tabulated
as “ Deficit” and the remaining positive items are tabulated as “ Surplus and undivided profits.” Prior to
1937 the net amount of “ Surplus and undivided profits” or “ Deficit” was tabulated from each return.
# Consists of negative amounts for “ Paid-in or capital surplus” and “ Earned surplus and undivided
profits.”

GENERAL NOTE

Statistics on finances of States, cities, and larger counties presented in this section were procured largely
by trained representatives of the Bureau of the Census and by local agents directly from information avail­
able in the fiscal offices of the States, cities, and their agencies, with the assistance and cooperation of public
officials. Every effort was made to insure completeness and accuracy of data by checking against reports
for prior years and by extensive research and investigation.
In order to obtain a maximum of uniformity and comparability in reporting data for various States,
statistics were examined, and classified in accordance with standard classifications employed by the Bureau
of the Census in presenting governmental statistics. Consequently, statistics as presented in Bureau of
the Census reports frequently appear in a manner different from that shown in the records of the govern­
mental unit itself. Definitions of the concepts used by the Bureau of the Census in reporting financial
information on government and a description of the methods used in presenting the data are given in the
source volumes.
Data on employment and pay rolls are from the Quarterly Survey of State and Local Government Em­
ployment, a mail canvass of areas selected to show trends by type of unit and size group. Special studies,
such as “ Financing Federal, State and Local Government: 1941” and “ Retirement Systems for State and
Local Government Employees, 1941,” are prepared either from the financial and other data collected for
the annual reports or from special surveys for obtaining additional information, or by means of a combi­
nation of the two.
The Census of Governments, formerly known as the Census of Wealth, Debt, and Taxation, is a decen­
nial canvass of all units of government. Final data from the 1.942 Census were not available for this edition
of the Abstract.
The term “ General government,” as used in this section, covers all governmental transactions other
than those of public-service enterprises.

N ote .—A mounts in thousands of dollars. Figures prior to 1890 were revised in 1925 from the best available
data, but the older records, especially from 1860 through the early 70’s, are not complete and figures for
gold andsilver for those years are only estimates. In 1927, data were revised to include minor coins beginning
1900 (no satisfactory data available for earlier years) and gold coin and bullion held abroad for Federal
Reserve banks and to exclude gold earmarked for foreign account.

1 The totals involve a duplication to the extent that United States notes, Federal Reserve notes. Federal
Reserve bank notes, and national bank notes, all included in full, are in part secured by gold, also included
in full. Gold certificates, silver certificates, and Treasury notes of 1890 have been excluded, however,
since they are complete duplications of the equal amounts of gold or silver held as security therefor and in­
cluded in the totals.
i By a proclamation of the President dated Jan. 31,1934, the weight of the gold dollar was reduced from
25.8 to 155 grains of gold, 0.9 fine. The value of gold is therefore based on $35 per fine ounce beginning
/h
June 1934; theretofore, it is based on $20.67 per fine ounce.
3 Includes fractional paper currency in circulation prior to 1878.
* Silver bullion in Treasury.
8 Includes silver bullion as follows: June 30, 1934, $1,560,000; June 30, 1935, $313,309,000; June 30, 1936,
$708,211,000; June 30, 1937, $835,196,000; June 30, 1938, $1,037,163,000; June 30, 1939, $1,230,586,000; June 30,
1940, $1,353,162,000; June 30, 1941, $1,435,909,000; Dec. 31, 1941, $1,476,106,000; June 30, 1942, $1,505,844,000;

circulation statement in 1922 and 1927, figures for 1915 on have been compiled to include in the holdings
of Federal Reserve banks and agents, and, hence, in stock of money, gold bullion and foreign coin held
by them and gold coin and bullion held abroad for the account of Federal Reserve banks, and also to
include in the holdings of Federal Reserve banks and agents, and, hence, exclude from circulation, all
forms of money held by them whether as Reserve against Federal Reserve notes or otherwise. See also

1 Gold and silver certificates and Treasury notes of 1890 are excluded before combining money outside of the
Treasury with money in the Treasury in order to avoid duplication, since the gold and silver held in Treas­
ury as security against these currencies are included. See also notes 1 and 2, table 316.
1 Both of these items include also reserve against Treasury notes of 1890.
* See note 1, table 315.
4 Includes total stock of silver dollars and subsidiary silver.
* Gold certificates. This amount is not included in the total since the gold held as security against the
gold certificates is included in the column, “ In trust against gold and silver certificates.”

N ote .—Includes banks in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Philippine Islands (except 1942), and beginning
with 1935, those in Virgin Islands and with 1938, those in Canal Zone, Guam (except 1942), and American
Samoa. Because of the war, data are excluded for banks in Guam and the Philippine Islands for 1942.
Data for banks other than national for the earlier years are not as of June 30 and are incomplete, expecially through 1885. Figures for mutual savings banks include some stock savings banks for years prior
to 1910 and also a few in several more recent years; since 1926 only one is included. Private banks are not
included prior to 1890; statistics for private banks, except for 1934 and 1935, cover only banks under State
supervision and those voluntarily reporting; for 1934 and 1935, they include also private banks which
submitted reports to the Comptroller of the Currency under provisions of the Banking Act of 1933.

i Date of reports of member banks; figures for nonmember banks as of nearest available date.
* Exclusive of interbank deposits, with following exceptions: For dates prior to Dec. 30, 1933, memberbank figures include interbank deposits not subject to immediate withdrawal, which aggregated $103,000,000
on that date; nonmember-bank figures prior to June 1940 include interbank deposits to the extent (estimated
at $150,000,000 for June 30,1937, but since reduced to probably a small amount) that they were not reported
separately in a few State bank abstracts.
3 Beginning June 30,1933, all figures, except for mutual savings banks, relate to licensed banks only, with
some exceptions as to nonmember banks.

i The number of borrowers receiving original loans from the H O L C was 1,017,821. The larger number of
accounts noted here results chiefly from the division of properties on which loans were made. Figures on
original applications and loans granted can be found in the Statistical Abstract for 1940 and previous years.

Cities are listed in order of importance according to clearings in 1942. No figures are given for Los Angeles, which ranked eighth in 1929 but has not
reported clearings for any subsequent year. Comparability of figures for different years is affected by the tendency toward consolidation of banks, eliminating former clearings
between 2 or more banks. Debits to individual account (tables 386) are a better measure of volume of payment. Por figures for earlier years for all cities reporting to New
York Clearing House Association, 1882 to 1920, and for figures for 146 identical cities, 1920 to 1936, see table 293, Statistical Abstract, 1937.

[Amounts, except per capita, in thousands of dollars. Prior to 1916 figures are as compiled by the New York
Journal of Commerce and include losses of $10,000 or over in the principal cities of the United States,
adding 15 percent for small and unreported losses. These figures are not comparable with those shown
for later years (the 1916 Journal of Commerce figure being $214,531,000 as against $258,378,000) which cover
all fires reported to the Actuarial Bureau Committee, adding 25 percent for unreported and uninsured
losses prior to 1935 and 30 percent thereafter.]

N ote .— A lthough the number of orders reporting varies considerably, most of the larger orders report
regularly, so that the figures are fairly comparable from year to year. Prior to 1920 the figures for the
number of orders as given below include all known to be in existence whether reporting or not.

1 Total premium receipts prior to 1910.
2 Figures for 1895 to 1930 include adjustment expenses excluded thereafter.
3 Including taxes.
* Figures through 1930 include data for companies which transact life insurance in addition to accident
and health insurance. Income and disbursement items include business of accident and health branches
only of these life insurance companies, where companies were able to segregate data, while capital, assets,
and net surplus include total amounts of these items for such companies, excluding, however, data for a
few very large companies for which accident and health business is only a small proportion of the total
business. Capital, assets, and net surplus are therefore overstated and in part duplicated in figures for life
insurance companies in other tables. Figures for 1933 to 1941 relate to casualty, surety, and miscellaneous
insurance companies only.
6 Number of companies reporting.
6 See note 4.
7 Includes stock casualty, surety, and miscellaneous insurance companies, shown separately above,
mutual companies, reciprocals, and Lloyds; number of companies and income and disbursement item?
also include accident and health departments of life insurance companies.

N o t e — D ata for the group of 629 companies, compiled quarterly, are available only beginning 1939; earlier
data shown for 488 of these companies and for the group of 152 companies are available only on an annual
basis. Annual data include reports for fiscal years ended between July 1 of specified year through June 30
of the following year. To a considerable extent, total profits of the 629 corporations represent very large
concerns, as no data are included for companies with assets under $250,O K and there is a very limited
C ),
representation of companies with assets between $250,000 and $5,000,000. No data are included for some
important nondurable goods industries, such as meat packing, sugar refining, and rubber. Net profits
are before dividends and after all charges, including depreciation, interest, special reserves charged as
expenses, and all taxes. Aggregate dollar dividends are reported quarterly by only a few companies and
for most of the companies for which these data are shown, dividends were computed for each class of stock
on the basis of dividends per share and number of shares outstanding. (These data have been substituted
for data on quarterly profits of 167 industrial companies compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, which have been formerly included in the Abstract. For net profits of all corporations as compiled
from income-tax returns, see tables 276 and 277, pages 269 and 270.)

failure record more nearly in accordance with the type of concerns covered by “ Total number of concerns
in business,” in which no changes were made. Beginning 1939, the new series includes voluntary dis­
continuances with loss to creditors and small concerns forced out of business with insufficient assets to
cover all claims, in addition to failures included in former series]

[Net public and private debt is a comprehensive estimate of the outstanding indebtedness of final bor­
rowers in the United States rather than a measure of total debt. To obtain the net debt figures estimates
of gross or total debt are corrected for debts issued by but held within units having economic coalescense.
Four such units are distinguished (a) the Federal Government and its corporations and agencies, (b) com­
bined State and local governments, (c) individual corporate systems, and (d) individual business estab­
lishments or persons. This selection of units means that the gross debt estimates are adjusted for (1) debts
outstanding against a- unit but held within that same unit in sinking, trust, or investment funds, (2)
debts of intermediary financial institutions such as banks, insurance companies, and Federal agencies,
and (3) for intercorporate debts internal to corporate systems under a single management. Under cor­
rection (2) bank deposits and liabilities of life insurance companies to policyholders were excluded and
the intergovernmental debts of the United States Government and its corporations and agencies were
eliminated by consolidating the Federal accounts. Loans receivable by Federal agencies were also de­
ducted from the gross Federal debt since this debt is intermediary and duplicates private debts arising
from these same advances by Federal agencies. The net debt figures give a more significant picture of
trends in the debt structure than the crude gross debt estimates. The figures represent, in the main, bal­
ances of loans outstanding at the end of calendar years, corrections having been made wherever figures
are reported by fiscal years not corresponding to calendar years.]

N ational income is the measure of the value of net output of commodities and services produced by pri­
vate and public enterprises of the economy. It includes economic activities carried on by all produc­
ing entities—corporations, partnerships, individual enterprises, and governmental agencies. Value
of materials and supplies and of plant and equipment consumed in process of production is deducted
from gross value of goods and services produced in order to obtain value of net production. The net
product is represented by returns in the form of salaries and wages, net income of business enterprises,
interest, and rents and royalties. Corporate savings (positive and negative) represent net profits after
deduction of cash dividends and taxes]

[Data on dividends, interest, and corporate savings by industrial divisions for 1934 (omitted here) and for
subsequent years are based on a different industrial classification than are the estimates of these items
for earlier years because of a change in the Revenue Act of 1934. Special tabulations of the Bureau of
Internal Revenue permitted the making of estimates for 1934 on the earlier basis. For specific items
in certain industries the variations are substantial, but for total income the changes were small]

[Income payments to individuals comprise (1) salaries and wages net of pay-roll deductions for social
insurance, (2) other labor income such as pensions, compensation for injuries, direct and work relief and
social insurance benefits, (3) net earnings, before owner’s withdrawals, of unincorporated businesses
(including farmers), and (4) dividends, interest, and net rents and royalties received by individuals.
The total of income payments differs from national income in tables 422 and 423, principally by the exclu­
sion of retained earnings of corporation sfrom the former aggregate and their inclusion in the latter. Other
differences relate to the handling of social insurance pay-roll deductions and benefits and such transfer
items as direct relief and adjusted-service certificates (the Soldier’s Bonus). Estimates of income payments
are distributed among the States on a where-received basis; only payments made in the continental
United States are included]

[Wage or salary income includes all money received in 1939 in compensation for work or services performed
as employees, including commissions, tips, piece-rate payments, bonuses, etc., as well as receipts com­
monly referred to as wages or salaries. The value of income in kind, such as living quarters, meals, cloth­
ing, etc., is not included. Persons were classified as with or without other income on the basis of their
answers to an inquiry as to whether $50 or more of income was received from sources other than money
wages or salaries in 1939. Statistics include persons who were employed as wage or salary workers (except
on public emergency work) during the census week, and persons seeking work who were last employed as
wage or salary workers. Statistics are based on sample B, see p. 29. Percent not shown where less than 0.1].

[Estimates cover all civilian consumers except those living in institutions. Families are defined as
economic units of two or more persons sharing a common or pooled income and living under a common
roof. Single consumers are defined as men or women maintaining independent living quarters or
living as lodgers or servants in private homes, rooming houses, or hotels. The term spending unit is
used to cover both groups. Civilian money income includes net money income of all civilians except
those living in institutions. It therefore excludes all imputed (nonmoney) items, and all income paid
to members of the armed forces. Estimates are on a calendar year basis]

the Bureau of Labor Statistics in cooperation with the National Resources Committee and the Central
Statistical Board. Findings of that study were supplemented by income tax statistics and by other
sample data on family and indi vidual incomes.

i The estimates cover all consumers with the exception of 2,000,000 persons living in institutions or quasi*
institutional groups. A family is defined as 2 or more persons sharing a common income and living under
a common roof. Single individuals include persons lodging in rooming houses and hotels, living as lodgers
or servants in private homes, or maintaining independent living quarters as 1-person families. Income
includes the total net money income received during the year by all members of the economic family plus
the value of certain items of nonmoney income, such as the occupancy of an owned home and food produced
by rural families for their own use. The estimates apply to the 12-month period from July 1935 through
June 1936.

Includes the total net money income received during the year by all members of the economic family
and by single individuals, plus the imputed value of the following nonmoney items: Occupancy of owned
homes, rented farm homes, and rent-free homes; food produced by rural families for their own use; fuel
and ice obtained free by farm families.
3 Includes, in addition to goods and services purchased during the year, the imputed value of the non­
money items mentioned in note 2. All purchases of durable consumer goods, except payments on homes
and improvements to homes, are considered current expenditures for the year. Automobile expenditures
cover purchase and operating costs for family and personal use only, excluding costs chargeable to business
use.
4 Gifts include gifts made to persons outside the economic family, to churches and other religious organiza­
tions, and to welfare agencies. Taxes cover only personal income taxes, poll taxes, and certain minor per­
sonal property taxes. Taxes on automobiles and on owned homes, and sales and excise taxes are included
in consumption expenditures. Business taxes and taxes on income-producing property were deducted
in calculating net income.

These estimates represent net changes in family and personal assets or liabilities, exclusive of gains or
losses from revaluation of assets. At the lower income levels they appear as average net deficits for the
year, the surpluses of some families in the income group being more than offset by the deficits of other
families.

G eneral N©¥E4 The wholesale-price index of the Department of Labor is based on primary market

qu tafcion of 784 commodities beginning 1926* 613 beginning January 1938, 863 beginning March 1940,
887 beginning October 1940, and 889 beginning January 1941; a smaller number of commodities was covered
in earlier years. The price of each article is weighted by the approximate quantity marketed during a
period approximating that covered b y the index. Beginning with 1921, in computing indexes for com­
modity groups, articles falling under more than one of the classifications were included under each classi­
fication. For example, articles produced on the farm which reach the consumer practically unchanged
in form, such as potatoes, milk, and eggs, were included among both farm products and foods. However,
in computing the index for all commodities such articles were counted only once.
The retail-food-cost indexes presented in this section for periods beginning January 1935 are revised
indexes based On the distribution of expenditures as shown by the 1934-36 study made by the Bureau of
T abor Statistics of expenditures of wage earners’ and lower salaried workers’ families. Differences in
Changes in retail-food costs as shown by the revised, as compared with the unrevised, data are due largely
to the relatively greater importance of citrus fruits and green vegetables and the lesser importance of cereals,
potatoes, and apples in the revised index. The revised indexes are computed from prices of 54 foods prior
to March 1943; 61, thereafter. Aggregate costs of these foods in each of 56 cities (51 cities prior to March
1943), weighted to represent total purchases, have been combined for the United States with the use of
population weights. In accordance with a recommendation of the Central Statistical Board, Bureau of the
Budget, an average of the years 1935-39 is being used as a base in presenting these revised indexes of food
costs. Indexes for all periods prior to January 1935 are converted from indexes computed for corresponding
periods on the 1923-25 base.
The farm-price index is based on prices paid to producers for 34 major crops and 13 commercial truck
crops. Average quotations for the period August 1909-July 1914 are used as a base, and each price
series is weighted by the average annual marketings of farmers in the years 1924 to 1929.
The user ofl ndcx numbers involving prices is reminded that up-grading, undercover price advances, and
quality changes are not reflected fully. Such indices are subject to a wider margin of possible error in war­
time than in peacetime.

Figures in boxes indicate number of quotations. Indexes of the National Bureau of Economic
Research for 1916 to 1928 are unweighted geometric means for approximately 490 commodities (converted
from a 1913 base to a 1929 base by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce); for subsequent years
they are weighted arithmetic means for 680 price series, the weights being based upon the average value
of production in 1927 and 1931. For method of computing the Department of Labor index, see general
note, p. 398. For Department of Labor publications in which data appear, see source note, table 440.

2 Effective January 1941. In earlier years a smaller number of commodities was included.
< Number of quotations used beginning 1929; see headnote regarding earlier years. The sum of the number
of quotations for producers’ and consumers’ goods and for durable and nondurable goods is greater than the
number of all commodities owing to duplication of certain price series in the classifications. For example,
identical price quotations on flour are used in both producers’ goods and consumers’ goods.

1935-39=100. Figures for food represent 56 cities since March 1943 and a smaller number in earlier
years; other figures, 19 cities from 1913 to 1917, 32 cities from 1918 to 1934, 33 cities from 1935 through Sep­
tember 15, 1940, and 34 cities thereafter. Totals from 1913 to 1924 are weighted by relative importance
of items as ascertained by country-wide study of family expenditures in 1917-19. Totals from 1930 to
date are weighted by relative importance of items as ascertained by a study of family expenditures in
1 93 4 -3 6 . Totals for the intervening years, 1925 through 1929, are weighted by an average of the 1917-19
and the 193 4 -36 expenditure data. Except for 1913, the annual average indexes for items other than
food are estimates based on indexes compiled as of particular dates at irregular intervals shown in previous
issues of this publication. They represent weighted averages of indexes for each pricing period affecting
the year. For example, where goods were priced in June and December, the indexes for December of
the previous year were considered in arriving at the average of the year. The annual average food index
is based on monthly indexes.

N otb .— T he values are required by law to represent the values of the goods in th e fo re ig n m a rk e ts whence exported to the United States.
“ Ton ” signifies long ton of 2,240 pounds.
The averages are obtained by dividing the total value of imports of the specified article by the total quantity, and as in some commodities there maybe considerable variations
in price between different grades, methods of packing, etc., and as the proportions of the grades, etc., may vary from year to year, the averages in such cases may show the actual
price movements only roughly. Data for 1941 are the latest available for publication.

o t e .—Figures

cover Class A telephone carriers which reported for 1942. Class A carriers are those car­
riers whose average annual operating revenues exceeded $100,000. The gross operating revenues of Class
A carriers (excluding intercorporate duplications of the Bell System) reporting in 1937 represented ap­
proximately 94 percent of the revenues of all telephone carriers as reported for the Census of Electrical
Industries for that year. (See table 450.) The figures include data for carriers consolidated and merged
prior to 1942, so far as annual data are available. Intercorporate duplications have not been excluded,
but data for 1942 excluding such duplications are shown in italics below.

1 Ratio of operating expenses to operating revenues.
2 The decrease reflected in data shown for the year 1933 is due mainly to the fact that prior to that year
the total of wire jointly owned with other companies was included, whereas from 1933 on, only the respond­
ents’ portion of jointly owned wire was included.
3 Data for 1926 through 1932 include estimates.
* In comparing figures in this table, consideration should be given to the minor effect of the revisions of
the Uniform System of Accounts, effective Jan. 1,1933, and Jan. 1,1937, resulting in certain changes in and
rearrangements of both the balance sheet and the income statement.
3 Excluding intercorporate duplications.

outlying possessions, Canada, Cuba, and numerous islands and minor countries neighboring the United
States. International-basis orders are exchanged between the United States and its outlying possessions,
on the one hand, and other than “ domestic basis” foreign countries, on the other. In this table, how­
ever, “ International” includes money orders exchanged between the United States and “ domestic
basis” foreign countries, and these are not included in “ Domestic.”

N ote .— Since Nov. 1,1916, all service on steam railroads is authorized and paid for under the space basis
system; formerly, payments werebased on a system of quadrennial weighings. Railway mail space units
of service vary in size and character and may consist of a car, a section of a car, or a closed pouch carried on
a car. Some cars are railway post offices, others are for storage only, about 20 classes of units being dis­
tinguished. The “ equated unit” represents a calculation of the equivalent of all the different units in
terms of a 60-foot car. Annual r a t e of expenditure (regular authorizations) represents estimated cost for
transporting normal mail traffic over regular routes only, based on contracts outstanding at the end of
each fiscal year. “ Annual cost” includes emergency and side and transfer service. Average rates are
based on “ regular authorizations.”

i Fuel equivalent is calculated from kilowatt-hours of power produced wherever available, as is true of all
public-utility plants since 1919. Otherwise fuel equivalent is calculated from reported horsepower of
installed water wheels. Prior to 1890 data were unsatisfactory, but estimates are included in total.
8 Calculated at 26,200,000 British thermal units per ton.
* Based on amount of coal displaced by gas, as estimated b y gas companies.
4 Figures not available for publication.
8 Excludes data for imports of crude petroleum.

i The term “ establishment” as here used may represent a single electric station (either generating or
distributing or both) or a number of such stations operated under the same ownership.
3Not available.
• 3 Comprises 1,112 stations operated by steam; 1,283 by internal-combustion; 1,426 by water; and 206
composite (stations having more than 1 type of prime mover).
4 Comprises generated output and energy purchased and received from other sources. Since the energy
“ Received from other sources” was, in a large part, purchased from other electric light and power com­
panies, a considerable duplication is involved, as such energy would also be included in the “ Generated.”
* Includes “ Estimated value of free service.”

18. TRANSPORTATION, AIR AND LAND— STEAM AND
ELECTRIC RAILWAYS, EXPRESS COMPANIES, MOTOR
BUSSES, AND CIVIL AERONAUTICS
[Data in this section relate to continental United States unless otherwise stated]
G e n e r a l N o t e . — The

term “ steam railways’ ’ as used in this section includes electrified divisions oper­
ated by such carriers. The total steam railroad mileage of the United States comprises: (o) Regular inter­
state carriers (and their nonoperating subsidiaries) reporting to the Interstate Commerce Commission,
(b) switching and terminal railroads, also reporting to the Commission; and (c) private railroads (defined
by the Commission as “ circular" because they report on brief circulars and as “ unofficial"). Except in
certain mileage data the circular and unofficial companies are not included in any of the statistics. The
switching and terminal roads were formerly included with operating railways, but are now separated, and
data for them do not appear in most of the tables.
Nonoperating subsidiaries include proprietary companies, which are covered by the reports of operating
carriers, and lessor companies which have no traffic and whose reports appear only in statistics of capitali­
zation, dividends, and investment.
Operating railways are divided into three classes, according to the amount of their annual operating rev­
enues, class I, having more than $1,000,000 of such revenue; class II, from $100,000 to $1,000,000; and class
III, less than $100,000. During recent years more detailed reports are required from class I carriers than
from smaller companies. The basis of the figures in each table is indicated by notes. Omission of class
I I and Class III railroads affects very little the comparability of statistics with those of earlier years as
regards most items, since the bulk of the business is done by class I.
The Interstate Commerce Commission divides railroads geographically into three districts and eight
subsidiary regions. Each railroad is treated as a unit and placed wholly in some one district or region.
Broadly speaking, the eastern district includes territory east of Chicago and north of the Ohio and Potomac
Rivers; southern district, territory east of the Mississippi River and south of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers;
and western district, the remainder of the country.
Class I companies make monthly reports from which data are compiled currently and published in a
series of monthly statements. The yearly totals from these reports become available earlier than the
sometimes slightly corrected totals from the final annual reports. The latest figures in these tables are in
many cases from the monthly reports.

N o t e .— Beginning with 1908 switching and terminal roads are omitted (they operate about 2,300 miles
of main tracks). The first and second columns cover all railways, including “ circular" and “ unoffi­
cial” lines; the last 5 columns omit “ circular” and “ unofficial” lines. Mileage owned excludes all
duplication and covers continental United States only. Mileage operated includes some duplication
under trackage rights and some mileage in Canada operated by United States companies.

i Data exclude switching and terminal companies beginning 1910. Class III roads are excluded in 1913.
Exclusion of the latter has practically no effect on the comparability of the figures. Information for 1915
is incomplete, as 20 of the larger railways did not report, and is not shown.
1 Calculated for all classes of employees, including those not paid on an hourly basis.
* Data cover Federal reports, reports of companies not under Federal control, and corporate reports.

N ote.—The census of street railways, which was first taken in 1890. and which has been taken at quin­
quennial intervals through 1937 beginning with the inquiry for 1902, covers (1) all street railways, without
regard to kind of motive power, and (2) all interurban railways using other than steam as motive power.
The nonelectric railroads included are those operated principally by cable and gasoline engines. Opera­
tions of electrified divisions of steam-railway companies are not included. Figures in this table do not
include data for motorbus and trolley-bus operations of electric street railways. (For motorbus and
trolley-bus statistics from census reports, see source.)

19. WATERWAYS, WATER TRAFFIC, AND SHIPPING
[Data in this section cover the following areas unless otherwise indicated: From Board of Engineers of the
United States Army, Bureau of Census, Bureau of Customs, and Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com­
merce, United States customs area which includes Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and, from Jan. 1,
1935 through Dec, 31, 1939, Virgin Islands; from United States Maritime Commission, continental United
States. Later figures than now shown in tables are not available for publication because of wartime
restrictions]
G e n e ra l note a s to u n it s o f m e a s u re m e n t .— “ Cargo tonnage” represents weight of cargo in long tons (2,240
pounds) or short tons (2,000 pounds). All other tonnage figures refer to capacity of vessels. The terms
gross and net tonnage refer to space measurement, 100 cubic feet being called 1 ton. Gross tonnage is the
capacity of the entire space within the frames and the ceiling of the hull, together with those closed-in
spaces above deck available for cargo, stores, passengers or crew, with certain minor exemptions. Net
or registered tonnage is what remains after deducting from the gross tonnage the spaces occupied by the
propelling machinery, fuel, crew quarters, master’s cabin, and navigation spaces. It represents substan­
tially space available for cargo and passengers. The net tonnage capacity of a ship recorded as “ entered
with cargo” may bear little relation to actual weight of cargo. Dead-weight tonnage is the weight in
long tons required to depress a vessel from light water line (that is, with only the machinery and equip­
ment on board) to load line. It is therefore the weight of the cargo, fuel, etc., which a vessel is designed
to carry with safety. Displacement tonnage (naval vessels) has reference to weight of the vessel itself
with its normal equipment, fuel, etc.

Francisco, 52,589,000; loc^l traffic of other seaports, 40,099,000; local traffic of lake ports, 12,301,000.
J Excluding St. Marys Falls Canal traffic (89,294,000 tons in 1940) and additional Detroit River traffic
(18,294,000 tons in 1940). data for which are already included in figures for Great Lakes traffic; also excluding
duplications relating to rivers and canals themselves.
* Principally coastwise and lake traffic passing through canals and connecting channels other than the
St. Marys Falls Canal and the Detroit River.
* Estimated from figures in this table on assumption that all deductions represent duplications in
domestic traffic. There are, however, some minor duplications in figures for foreign traffic.

N ote .—In thousands of shbrt tons of 2,000 pounds. In addition to the commerce here shown, many of
the ports have (1) commerce with ports on internal rivers and canals; (2) purely local port traffic, includ­
ing, in the case of New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, what is called intraport traffic between
parts of a harbor for which separate statistics are maintained. These forms of traffic, although the aggre­
gate tonnage is large, are of much less economic importance than foreign and coastwise traffic

1 Sailing vessels, canal boats, and barges.
2 Tbe decrease of tonnage arises principally from the registered tonnage having been corrected in 1818,
1829, and 1830 by striking off all vessels the registers of which were granted prior to 1815, which were sup­
posed by the collectors to have been lost at sea, captured, etc.
3 Figures as of Dec. 31 are latest available for publication. Later data, compiled by Treasury Depart­
ment, Bureau of Customs, will not be published during war period.

FOREIGN COMMERCE OF THE UNITED STATES

G e n e r a l N o t e . —All

statistics in this section, except tables 570 and 601, were compiled by the Depart­
ment of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce through April 1941 and by the Bureau
of the Census thereafter. Statistics of United States foreign trade were published annually in Foreign
Commerce and Navigation of the United States through 1940 and were published currently in Monthly
Summary of Foreign Commerce of the United States and in mimeographed statements through Sep­
tember 1941. After the issuance of the September 1941 figures, the publication of foreign trade statistics
b y countries and by commodities was discontinued because of wartime restrictions. Early in 1944,
however, the annual figures for 1941 including those by commodities and b y countries were released for
publication. Values of total exports and total imports are published in monthly press releases. Except
as noted (as, for example, in table 599) the values stated are in United States dollars without reference
to changes in the gold content of the dollar. (The statutory price of gold—$20.67 per ounce—in effect
prior to Jan. 31,1934, was changed on that date by Executive Order to $35 per ounce. Between Mar. ID,
1933, and Jan. 31,1934, the foreign exchange value of the dollar was permitted to depreciate as a result
of restriction placed on gold shipments to foreign countries.) The geographic area covered by these
statistics, except as noted, is the United States customs area, which includes Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto
Rico, and from Jan. 1, 1935, through Dec. 31, 1939, the Virgin Islands (see headnote, table 569). Other
explanations of the trade tables are given in the introduction to the annual report, Foreign Commerce
and Navigation of the United States.

This table differs as to its geographic basis from all other foreign trade tables in this
section and in other publications: (1) In the case of other tables the data represent the trade of the
United States customs area with all foreign countries, including the Philippine Islands and prior to 1935,
the Virgin Islands. The U. S. customs area comprises continental U. S., Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico,
and during 1935 through 1939, the Virgin Islands. Trade between continental U. S. and the territories
mentioned as part of the customs area are therefore excluded from these data. (2) The present table
takes continental United States as the basis. In the totals, trade between it and all United States Terri­
tories and possessions is included, while the trade between that part of the customs area outside of conti­
nental United States and foreign countries is excluded. Practically all other nations calculate their
foreign trade in the manner followed in the present table; that is, totaling the trade of the home country
with foreign countries and with all outlying areas. Prior to 1901 Alaska was our only outlying area.
Therefore, our foreign trade statistics for 1900 and earlier years very nearly represent the trade of conti­
nental United States with foreign countries. Data are for years ended June 30 through 1918; thereafter,
for years ended Dec. 31.

N o t e .—Agricultural production is gross income, excluding feed, seed' and waste. Value added by manufac­
ture represents manufactures. Value of mine products in 1909 and 1919 are census figures, in 1929 census
data plus petroleum products, while estimates for other years are based on data of the Bureau of Mines.
As the figures are not adjusted for price changes, the increase or decrease in absolute values from period
to period should be disregarded.

Q u a n t i t y , U n i t V a l u e (P r i c e ) , a n d T o t a l V a l u e : 1913 t o 1941
N ote .— The quantity and unit value indexes have been constructed by the so-called “ ideal form ula/'
the essential feature of which is the use of the quantities of the several articles as weighting factors of
their unit values for each pair of years compared. About 266 commodities were included in the direct
calculations for both exports and imports. It was then assumed that the prices of articles in each
economic class not directly covered had moved in parallel with those of articles covered and their value,
adjusted by the computed price! index, was included in the aggregative totals from which the quantity
index for each class was calculated. The index of quantity and unit value of total exports and imports
was based on the aggregate of the adjusted totals of the classes. In constructing the indexes the data for
1919 were linked directly to 1913, and each subsequent year was compared with that preceding. The
resulting year-to-year percentages were made into a series b y the chain method.

N ote .—All figures in thousands of dollars. For basis of dollar values, except export figures for 1866 and
1870-78, see general note, p. 606. Export figures for those years represent mixed gold and currency values
and hence do not agree with the specie values given for total exports in other tables. Figures cover fiscal
years to and including 1916, calendar years beginning 1916. Import data are “ general imports" through
1933; “ imports for consumption” thereafter. Exports and imports of the interior districts, a small per­
centage of the total, are not included in this table.

N o t e —All figures in thousands of dollars. For basis of dollar values, except export figures for 1865 and
1870-78, see general note, p. 60S. Export figures for those years represent mixed gold and currency values.
Figures cover fiscal years to and including 1915; thereafter, calendar years. Import data are “ general
imports” through 1933; “imports for consumption” thereafter. Areas of districts were rearranged
July 1, 1913. Prior to that date some of the districts were more restricted. However, in most cases
this change only slightly affects the comparability of the figures. Prior to 1914 the statistics given in
the table for Buffalo include the (former) districts of Buffalo Creefc and Niagara; those for Michigan
include the (former) districts of Superior, Huron, and Detroit; and those for Massachusetts and Maryland
were the former districts of Boston and Baltimore, respectively.

COMMERCE OF NONCONTIGUOUS TERRITORIES

G eneral N ote .—All statistics in this section, except as noted, were compiled b y the Department of
Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce through April 1941 and b y the Bureau of the
Census thereafter. Trade statistics of the United States and noncontiguous areas were published in the
Monthly Summary of Foreign Commerce of the United States, December issue. After September 1941
the publication of all foreign trade statistics by countries and by commodities was discontinued because
of wartime restrictions. Early in 1944, however, the annual figures for 1941 including those by commodi*
ties and by countries were released for publication. In the general foreign trade statistics of the United
States presented in the preceding section, the Philippines and Virgin Islands, except 1935 through 1939
for the Virgin Islands, are treated as foreign countries and their trade with the United States is included
while their trade with other countries is not included. On the other hand, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and
Alaska, a id for 1935-39j Virgin Islands, are treated as integral parts of the United States, so that trade
between them and continental United States is not included, while trade between them and foreign coun­
tries is included; each of these territories appears as a separate customs district. Neither trade of American
Samoa and Guam with foreign countries nor shipments between them and United States are included in
the general tables on foreign trade. See also table 569, p. 506.
The tables in this section present the total foreign trade of each of the United States Territories and
possessions and show separately the trade with continental United States (unless otherwise indicated)
and with foreign countries, including other United States Territories and possessions. For basis of dollar
values, see general note, p. 505.

i The discrepancy between the United States figures of exports to the Philippines prior to 1911 and the
Philippine figures of imports from the United States in corresponding periods is due chiefly to the fact
that the Philippine import figures prior to that year omit merchandise imported free of duty for the use of
the Government or for use in construction and equipment of railways in the islands, under the act of Feb.
6, 1905, while the United States returns omit only Government supplies carried b y Government vessels.
* Continental U. S. through 1938; includes outlying areas thereafter.
Sources: Prior to 1939, reports ofU. S. War Dept, and Insular Collector of Customs; 1939 to 1941, Com­
monwealth of the Philippines, Bureau of Census and Statistics. See general note, p. 548.

The statistics for drainage on farms in the first part of this table were collected from the individual
farmers, while those for drainage enterprises were obtained from a special canvass of organized drainage
enterprises. A farm may have artificial drainage without being included in any organized enterprise;
conversely, an organized enterprise may include a form on which there is no artificial drainage, because
the enterprise facilitates the removal of water from that farm. Drainage enterprises comprise public
corporations and local improvement districts established under State laws relating to drainage, com­
mercial enterprises draining land for sale, other organizations engaged in extensive land drainage work,
and tracts of 500 acres or more drained by individual farm owners. The enterprises may include tim­
bered and other unimproved land not yet in farms. Data as to drainage on farms were not collected in
the census of 1940, The canvass of drainage enterprises did not include the New England States, N .Y .,
N . J., or Pa.; Dei and M d. were included only in 1940; no enterprises were found in Ala. or W . Va.before
1940, and none in Va. in 1930.

* Estimates.
1 For definition of urban and rural, see headnote, table 10, p. 11.
3The 1930, 1935, and 1940 farm population comprises all persons living on farms without regard to occuation; the 1920 figures include also those farm laborers (and their families) who, while not living on farms,
ved outside the limits of any incorporated place. A further difference is due to the fact that the 1920 and
1935 censuses were taken in January, while the 1930 and 1940 censuses were taken in April, when the number
of persons on farms is appreciably larger. For farm population by States see table 12, p. 13.
1 Data collected for 1925 are not strictly comparable with figures for other years.
* Includes cropland harvested, crop failure, cropland lying idle or fallow, and plowable pasture.
8“ Improved land” ; figures nominally include land available for crops and land occupied by buildings,
yards, and barnyards.
7Value is of specified farm property, not all farm property.
* Figures for land and for buildings are less satisfactory than figure for total real estate value; in other
words, value of buildings should not be subtracted from total farm value and difference assumed to represent
accurately .market value of land alone. Figures for land include the value of fences, tile drains, and other
incidental improvements on the land, excluding only the value of buildings.
9 Figures for 1910 exclude value of young animals when enumerated separately. For description of items
for other years, see note 1 on “ livestock,” table 636, p. 580.

[Figures are based on tag sales, records of Government officials, or estimates. Beginning 1935, figures
include tonnage distributed b y Agricultural Adjustment Administration and by Tennessee Valley
Authority, data for the latter representing fiscal years ended June 30. Data for phosphate rock used in
Illinois have been excluded. Such data have only been available since 1939 and consequently have
been excluded from annual comparisons. In addition to tonnage for consumption, shown in the table
below, fertilizers and fertilizer materials produced in continental United States and exported to island
possessions are as follows: T o Hawaii, 1937, 57,200 tons; 1938, 35,250 tons; 1939, 49,600 tons; 1940, 63,450
tons. T o Puerto Bico, 1937, 128,900 tons; 1938, 90,250 tons; 1939, 100,200 tons; 1940,153,500 tons. Data
for exports in 1941 and 1942 are not available for publication]

all ages are included except in figures for cattle and sheep, 1880 and 1890, which are nominally exclusive

of enumeration, the figures for 1935 are not closely comparable with those for other years. The total value
of all livestock for which data were collected at each census is shown in table 630, p. 572. Available data
for certain classes not shown in the table below are as follows • Turkeys over 3 months old, 1935, 5.382,000,
valued at $11,668,000; turkeys over 4 months old, 1940, 4,362,000, valued at $7,462,000. Hives of bees

N o t e —All amounts, except per capita, in millions of pounds. Pork production represents total hogcarcass weight, less raw fat from carcass which was rendered into lard. Other meat production repre­
sents dressed carcass weight only, with edible byproducts excluded. Lard production represents ren­
dered weight of lard. Uninspected production includes farm, retail, and non-federally inspected whole­
sale slaughter. Meat obtained from cattle, calves, and sheep purchased for slaughter b y Federal Govern­
ment in 1935 in connection with drought-relief activities is not included. Exports and imports of meats
comprise the several kinds of meat converted to a dressed -carcass-weigh t basis. Lard exports represent
rendered lar<£, including neutral lard. Exports include shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and
Virgin Islands. Consumption represents production plus imports less exports, with allowance for
changes in storage stocks. Figures for recent years are subject to revision.i

N o t e . —All

figures in thousands of pounds. Production, except census data, is estimated and is for calen­
dar years; figures for 1909 and later years have been revised because of revised estimates for numbers of
sheep, based on 1035 census data. Pulled wool is included beginning 1000 and was probably Included
for 1870 to 1899, though the exact basis of the estimates for these years is not known. Figures for 1839,'1849,
and 1859 include only fleece. Exports and imports for 1839 are for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30; for 1849
and 1859, fiscal years ended June 30; subsequently, calendar years. Imports and foreign exports prior to
1914 and domestic exports for all years include hair of the Angora goat, alpaca, and other like animals.

Acreage in thousands. Acreages for winter wheat represent areas sown the preceding fall and not har­
vested, thus including considerable land subsequently planted to other crops. Acreages for cotton
include more than 10 million acres plowed under in 1933, but exclude acreage losses before July 1 and
thus exclude some June losses from flood and other causes. Some early spring abandonment of sugar
beets may also be omitted. For other crops totals exclude incidental abandonment such as normally
occurs annually in consequence of hail, local overflow, poor soil, neglect, etc. Small grains harvested
as hay, and corn which was salvaged as fodder or silage or by hogging or grazing, are included in har­
vested acreage. Totals do no? show total crop losses chiefly because of large acreage of tame and wild
hay land which produced only pasturage in some dry seasons. Losses of sorghums, rye, and other crops
not shown were also material in some years]

Tons are of 2,000 pounds. For weights of the units of measurement for principal products, see
Appendix, p. 926. The approximate weights of units of measurement for other products are as follows:
Number of pounds to a bushel—sweetpotatoes, 65; all sorghums for grain, 56; clover seed, 60. Number of
pounds to a barrel of cranberries, 100. Prices and yields for the periods are weighted averages except for
cotton and cottonseed, which are simple averages of prices and yields for the individual years. Acreage,
production, and yield of all crops have been revised to census data.

census figures on ginnings due to ginnings in 1 State of cotton grown in another. Where figures are

N ote.—All figures, except average net weight and prioe, in thousands of hales. Production figures relate
to crop of preceding year and are compiled from individual reports of ginners. Beginning 1911, price
per pound represents average price received b y growers, as computed by Department of Agriculture;
for earlier years, it is average price of average grade marketed in New Orleans prior to April 1 of following
year. Consumption figures relate to 12 months during which crop of specified year was chiefly marketed,
and not to calendar year. Export and import figures (compiled by Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce through April 1941, Bureau of Census thereafter) relate to 12 months beginning Sept. 1 for
years prior to 1915, and to 12 months beginning Aug. 1, thereafter. Figures for linters are included in
those for consumption prior to 1909, and in export figures prior to 1915. Separate figures for linters prior
to those years not available. See 1937 Statistical Abstract, table 659, for figures for years prior to 1905.1

species of trees by less desirable but more fire-resistant ones, soil deterioration and erosion, loss of wildlife,
uncertain stream flow, interrupted tourist traffic, and the like.

[Data are not strictly comparable because of varying coverage from year to year. In 1942, statistics are
- believed to be complete, as mail returns Were supplemented b y field enumeration. Data for decennial
census years were also supplemented by field enumeration although they are leas complete than the
data for 1942. In other years, results are based on mail returns, except for certain States as indicated in
headnote for table 780. For a more detailed discussion of limitations applying to lumber statistics, see
Census of Forest Products, 1942]

[Lath in thousands and shingles in squares. Shingles were reported in thousands prior to 1933 and were
converted to squares on the basis of 800 shingles to the square. See headnote, table 779 for explanation
of lack of comparableness of statistics, because of incomplete coverage. The effect on total production
statistics for lath is not known. Bata for shingles are reasonably comparable over a period of years,
because of complete enumeration of Red Cedar Shingle Industry, this industry's production comprising
over 90 percent of total shingle production.]

N ote .—Statistics cover producing operations only.

In general, those for 1039 cover only those operations
(or concerns producing crude petroleum, natural gas, and natural gasoline, and rendering oil- and gasfield services) for which total value of all products, reported principal expenses, cost of buildings, ma­
chinery, and equipment during the year, or cost ofdrilling and equipping wells during the year amounted
to $2,500 or more. For bituminous coal and lignite an output criterion of 1,000 tons of coal was sub­
stituted for value of all products. Statistics for the common sand and gravel industry exclude data
for operations that produced less than 15,000 tons of sand and gravel unless reported principal expenses
or cost of buildings, machinery, and equipment during the year amounted to $15,000or more. Statistics
for 1929 cover, in general, only those “ enterprises" for which total value of all products or cost of devel­
opment work amounted to $2,500 or more. Bituminous coal and lignite mines that produced less than
1,000 tons of coal and common sand and gravel operations that produced less than 25,000 tons of sand
and gravel, were excluded. Statistics for 1919 exclude data for “ enterprises” for which value of allproducts
was less than $500 or cost of development work was less than $5,000. Noncommercial production of
stone and sand and gravel obtained from mines or quarries operated by governmental agencies, public
utilities, or by construction companies or contractors producing wholly for their own use or on contract
for governmental agencies is excluded for all years.

M Contractors engaged chiefly in development work for other concerns in the mineral industries; Penn­
sylvania anthracite strip-pit and culm-bank contractors are excluded. Statistics for contractors performing
oil- and gas-field services exclude data for oil- and gas-field work performed on contract b y concerns that also
operated oil and gas wells for their own account unless separate reports were obtained for each 0 these two
/
types of activities. Statistics are also excluded for concerns rendering oil- and gas-field services or producing
crude petroleum, natural gas, or natural gasoline whose reports covering these activities indicated that
neither the value of products and services rendered, nor reported principal expenses, nor cost of buildings,
machinery, and equipment, nor cost of drilling and equipping weiis amounted to as much as $2,600 during
1939. Statistics for contractors performing general services for mineral industries exclude data for con­
tractors that received or were due less than $2,600 for work done during 1939,
3 Represents amounts received or due for services performed during the year.
5
3 Statistics cover, in general, only those operations that had reported principal expenses or cost of build­
9
ings, machinery, and equipment during the year of at least $2 500; for common sand and gravel the cor­
responding minimum was $15,000. Statistics include data for oil- and gas-field operations in States in which
the reporting concerns had no products, provided the concerns were large enough to come within the scope
of the census as defined in headnote of table 802.

N o t e — The

sum of the State totals in the table below does not agree with the total for the United States
given in tables 800 and 805 chiefly because of the following reasons: (1) Figures for certain of the products
included in the United States total are not available by States of origin; (2) the use of iron ore values in
State totals and pig iron values in United States total; (3) the use of mine-figures for gold, silver, copper,
lead, and zinc in the State totajs and mint and smelter figures in the United States total; and (4) the
inclusion of estimates in the United States total for a few products for which no canvass has been con­
ducted for many years and for which no estimate by States is made.

T
nages shown. The products chiefly used further in manufacture are wire rods, plates and sheets, black
plates for tinning, and skelp. The figures under ‘'W ire," “ Tin and terneplate,” and “ Cast-iron pipe
and fittings” include data for products of these departments of steel works and rolling mills and of all
other industries producing these commodities.

quantities except ore produced in millions and tenths of millions of pounds. Production
figures include continental United States and Alaska. Owing to the varying stages of production, the
stocks in different classes of hands, the redistribution of copper previously purchased, the recovery and
use of old copper, etc., calculations of consumption are somewhat uncertain. T he American Bureau
of Metal Statistics presents consumption estimates rather widely different from those given below. Con­
sumption as shown represents the quantity of copper withdrawn on domestic account, but not actual
domestic consumption, as no account is taken of consumers* stocks.

GOLD AND SILVER

N ote .— The value of gold, in terms of money, being at a fixed rate, is not shown in the table. Gold is valued
at $20.67+ per fine troy ounce from 1837 through 1933. In 1933, however, varying higher prices prevailed
subsequent to the Executive order of Aug. 29. The value of gold production for 1933, as computed by
the Bureau of Mines, was $66,338,000, including $62,842,000 calculated at legal coinage value ($20.67+per
ounce) plus $12,486,000 premium calculated at average weighted price ($25.56 per ounce). On Jan. 31,
1934, the legal value of gold was fixed at $35 per fine ounce. The value of silver given is commercial value,
except for 1921 to June 1923 and beginning 1934 (see footnotes 1 and 2), which has differed materially from
coinage value.

N ote.—The London price is converted to the basis o f the ounce 1,000 fine and converted to American
money at par of exchange through 1930; thereafter, at the current rate of exchange. London quotations
are in depreciated currency after Sept. 21, 1931, also in some prior year periods, including 1918 to 1924.
New York quotations are in depreciated currency after early March 1933. The commercial ratio is com­
puted on the basis of London quotations through 1914; thereafter, on the basis of the New York average
price. Beginning with 1934 the monetary value of gold is $35.00 per fine ounce as compared with $20.67
in previous years. The value of fine silver (37U i grains) in the dollar is computed on the basis of London
quotations through 1917; thereafter, on the oasis of the New York average price.

30. MANUFACTURES
[Statistics in this section relate to continental United States except as noted. For additional statistics on
manufactured food products, mineral products, and forest products, see sections 25, 26, 27, 28, and 291

G eneral N ote .— The Census of Manufactures was taken decennially prior to 1899 and for each fifth
year thereafter through 1919, and has been taken every second year from 1921 to 1939. However, the Census
of Manufactures for 1941 has been abandoned as directed by Executive Order No. 9152, in the interests of
more important work related to the Nation’s war effort. The censuses for 1904,1909,1914, and 1919 covered
all factories or plants whose products were valued at $500 or more, but, beginning with 1921, the minimum
limit has been $5,000. As a rule, the term “ establishment” signifies a single plant or factory, but in some
cases an establishment operates two or more factories and in a few cases two or more departments of a
single plant or factory are treated as separate establishments. At the censuses for 1937 and 1939, however,
an establishment operating two or more factories was counted as two or more establishments. The total
number of establishments was increased approximately 2,000 by this change.
“ Value of products” represents selling value at the plant or factory. Because of the use of the products
of some establishments as materials for others, the total cost of materials and the total value of products
for all industries in a given group, and for all groups in the aggregate, include much duplication, estimated
at roughly one-third of the gross value of products. Such duplication is not, however, found to any great
extent within individual industries.
The 1939 Census of Manufactures questionnaire, for the first time, called for personnel employed in dis­
tribution, construction, etc., separately from the manufacturing employees of the plants, and therefore the
data for earlier years probably are not strictly comparable with those for 1939. It is not known how many
of the wage earners and the salaried employees reported at previous censuses were engaged in distribution
and construction and how many were engaged in manufacturing.
It is sometimes necessary, for various reasons but chiefly because of changes in census classification, to
make adjustments in the figures for earlier census years. Adjustments have been made in the figures
beginning with 1899 as a result of the exclusion from the Census of Manufactures since 1929 of the industries
“ Coffee and spice, roasting and grinding,” “ Flax and hemp, dressed,” “ Gas, illuminating and heating,”
“ Grindstones,” “ Motion pictures, not including projection in theaters,” “ Peanuts, walnuts, and other
nuts, processed or shelled,” and “ Railroad repair shops” (both steam and electric).
Detailed quantity and value figures for products of selected manufacturing industries are presented in
certain of the census tables in this section and in sections 25, 26, 27, and 29. The “ total value” figures for
the respective industries, as given in those tables, differ from the values of products of the corresponding
industries, as given in table 876, because of the inclusion in the product-value totals in those tables, but
not in the values of products for the corresponding industries in table 876, of data for the respective classes
of commodities made as minor or secondary products by establishments engaged primarily in other lines
of manufacture.

1 Because of the change from $500 to $5,000 in the minimum-value-of-products limit, the “ Number of
establishments reporting power equipment” figures for 1919 and earlier years are not comparable with those
for 1929 and 1939. This change did not, however, materially impair the comparableness of the figures for
the other items in this table.
2 Returns for “ Logging camps and logging contractors (not operating mills),” numbering 967, were ex­
cluded from power tabulations.
3 Includes 47,192 horsepower reported as other owned power, not distributed by type of prime mover.
4 Includes 28,213 horsepower reported as other owned power, not distributed by type of prime mover.
* Figures for “ Steam engines” include data for “ Steam turbines,” not reported separately.
« Figures for “ Other internal-combustion engines” include data for “ Diesel and semi-Diesel engines,”
not reported separately.
7 Includes data for water motors.
8 Not available.

figures given in this table do not represent exactly the numbers of wage earners, values of
products, etc., assignable to the classes of commodities from which the industries derive their names,
as it is necessary for census purposes to classify each establishment as a whole in some one industry,
according to its product of chief value, although in many cases a single establishment manufactures
two or more classes of commodities. See also general note, p. 766.

1939, 1942, and 1943
[Woolen and worsted woven goods are defined as fabrics containing by weight 25 percent or more wool
fiber. Wool fiber means fibers as defined by the Wool Products Labeling Act of 1939. Data beginning
with 1942 are not strictly comparable with those published in the census of Manufactures for 1939. De­
tailed information on military fabrics was required by the war agencies, and in most cases, information
was collected by type of fabric rather than by end use. Consultations with the military agencies pro­
vided the basis for estimating the end use of each type of fabric. Fortunately, for purposes of comparison
with 1939, the more important military fabrics were generally produced for a single end use in terms of
the 1939 classification. The estimates occurred primarily in the men’ s wear fabrics, and involved less
than 15 percent of the total apparel fabrics produced. Production figures of women’ s and children’s
wear fabrics were collected by weight of fabric instead of end use. I n the Census of Manufactures for
1939 data were collected from this industry on a square-yard basis; the present series requires the reporting
of linear yards, with narrow fabrics converted to a 54-inch width. The 1939 data have been converted
to a 54-inch linear yard measure by dividing the quantity of square yards by 1 ^ , excepting blankets which
were converted to a 72-inch linear yard measure by dividing the quantities of square yards by 2]

[Data cover production of rayon broad woven fabrics co ntaining by weight 51 percent or more rayon. The
fabrics reported are either 100 percent rayon or rayon mixtures containing 51 percent or more rayon with
the addition of cotton or other fibers. However, if wool fibers are added to the extent of 25 percent or
more, they are classed as woolen mixtures and are not included with the fabrics listed in this table. After
the Census of Manufactures for 1939, detailed data for this industry were not compiled until 1943. These
data were collected to meet requirements of war agencies and are not comparable with Census of M anu­
factures data. Figures are preliminary.]

1 The inclusion of “ Books and pamphlets printed for publication by others,” “ Maps, atlases and globe
covers made for others,” “ Greeting cards printed for others,” “ Newspapers and periodicals printed for
publication by others,” etc. results in duplication in the aggregate value and receipts, as follows: 1937,
$158,466,000; 1939, $201,627,000. (No separate data available for greeting cards for 1937.) These amounts
represent receipts by commercial printers for work done by them for other printers or for publishers, and
consequently enter twice into the aggregate value and receipts.
2 Includes “ Pamphlets printed for publication by others.
3 No data.
4 Included with “ Other commercial printing.'’
s Included with “ Greeting cards.”
8 In addition, labels, tags, and seals were produced by methods other than letterpress, as follows: 1937,
$25,693,000; 1939, $29,944,000. 1929 figures are not available.

Note.—T h e statistics for

1915 to 1943 relate to the 12 months ended July 31 and those for prior years to
the 12 months ended Aug. 31. Consumption and stocks are expressed in running bales, counting round
as half bales, except that all figures, 1840 to 1870, inclusive, and foreign cotton for all years are in equivalent
500-pound bales. The number of active cotton spindles represents spindles operated at some time during
the year, and is not as satisfactory a measure of activity of the industry as active spindle hours.

figures in thousands of pounds. Figures represent the equivalent in unstemmed leaf tobacco
of stemmed leaf or scraps, cuttings, and clippings. In the following table the tobacco used in the manufac­
ture of cigars and cigarettes was converted on the basis of * pounds of stemmed leaf or scraps, etc., to 4
3
pounds of unstemmed beginning 1915 (conversion prior to 1915 was at the ratio of 3 to 5) and of tobacco
and snuff beginning 1903. For 1896 to 1902, tobacco used in manufactured tobacco and snuff was shown
only under two heads, namely “ leaf” and “ scraps.” It is probable that stemmed leaf was included
with unstemmed tobacco under the head of “ leaf” without the one kind being converted to the equivalent
in the other. The conversion ratio of 3 to 4 was applied only to “ scraps” for these years. D ata exclude
tobacco used in bonded manufacturing warehouses (see table 902).

studios and laboratories. They do not include the distribution of films and their projection in theaters.
N o data are included for establishments which reported less than $5,000 as the cost of work done. The
motion-picture industry has been canvassed, since 1921, in connection with the Biennial Census of M an u ­

N o t e .— The

figures for 1939 do not include data for plants reporting products valued at less than $2,000;
those for earlier years cover all plants having products valued at $500 or more. This increase in the
minimum value-of-products limit resulted in some reduction in the “ Number of establishments” reported
as compared with what it would have been had the minimum of $500 been retained, but did not seriously
impair the comparableness of the figures for 1939 with those for earlier years. Comparable figures for
earlier years are given for all industries for which such figures are available.

N o t e . —Indexes

of automobile sales are based on unit sales figures reported monthly to the Automobile
Manufacturers’ Association, which represent over 95 percent of all dealers’ sales. The unit sales figures
are converted to dollar volume by the use of a computed “ average realized price.” Indexes of sales in
small towns and rural areas are based on figures furnished by three mail-order companies for sales by
mail only and by a large group of chain units operating in small towns and cities which serve the rural
population. Sales of reporting concerns represent about one-fourth of all general merchandise sales in
places of less than 30,000 inhabitants. Indexes of both variety store sales and grocery chain store sales are
based on figures furnished by chain organizations doing more than 70 percent of the business in the respec­
tive fields. For the variety store index adjustment has been made for changes in the number of stores
operated by the companies so that the index reflects sales changes for a constant number of stores. All
indexes are computed from dollar sales reduced to a daily average basis. In computing the index of
automobile sales, equal weight is given to all days of the month and for the shifting date of new model
introduction, while in computing the other three indexes, allowance is made for the varying number of
business days in the months and the varying sales importance of the different days of the week. The
monthly indexes are adjusted for seasonal changes and, in addition, the variety-store index is adjusted
for the changing date of Easter.

to 1941; in 1941, the sample was expanded to cover about 1,300 stores. Indexes for the United States have
been adjusted for variations in number of firms reporting and monthly indexes for the varying number of
business days in the different months, for seasonal changes, and for the effect of the shifting date of Easter.
These adjustments do not apply uniformly to the indexes by districts.

1 Employees and pay roll include paid executives of corporations but not number and compensation of
proprietors of unincorporated businesses.
2 Statistics for 1935, adjusted for comparison, are as follows: Number of establishments, 031,309; receipts,
$3,000,699,000. The adjustment was made by revising the original 1935 figures to include certain kinds of
business that were not included in the Service Census but were published in other census reports and by
excluding others which were within the scope of the 1935 census but were omitted from the 1939 census.
For a comparison of the two items by industries, see source.
3 For figures for earlier years, see table 934; p. 859.
4 Includes manufacturing plants with products valued at less than $5,000 and therefore not covered by
the Census of Manufactures.

1939

The census of service establishments covers a heterogeneous group of establishments (see table
932) engaged primarily in the sale of service, as distinguished from establishments dealing in merchan­
dise. The professional field, the financial, educational, transportation, construction, and diverse other
fields of business activity, many of which are covered elsewhere, are not included. Owing to differ­
ences in the scope of the 1935 and 1939 censuses of service establishments, the aggregates for 1939 are not
comparable with those for 1935 as published in the 1937-40 issues of the Abstract.

1939

The census coverage of hotels is restricted, in the main, to establishments which are designated
as hotels and which provide hotel accommodations as their major business activity. For 1935 and 1939,
the canvass was limited to hotels having at least 6 guest rooms or having receipts from room rentals
amounting to at least $500 for a full year’s operations. Because of differences in coverage for 1929, 1933,
1935, and 1939, comparable data are available only for year-round hotels having 25 or more guest rooms.

N o t e .— For

State figures, see table 939. Public works and public utilities cover some projects not measur­
able in terms of floor space, such as highways, pipe lines, subways, etc. Statistics for the 37 States were
not compiled for years prior to 1925, but available figures covering a varying number of States for earlier
years have been published in the 1932 and previous issues of the Statistical Abstract. Figures for the
individual States and districts in table 939 represent the value of construction contracts awarded in the
States and districts where the work was actually done.
[Values in millions and tenths of millions of dollars; floor space in thousands of square feet]

1 Owing to change in classification, data for airports have been excluded from “ Commercial” class and
included with “ Public utilities” for 1930 and subsequent years. Separate figures for airports are not avail­
able for years prior to 1930.
* Owing to change in classification, figures for “ Industrial” class exclude data for pipe lines for 1929 and
subsequent years (separate figures not available for years prior to 1929), which data are included with those
for “ Public utilities.”
3

to 1943

—1923-25 ave ra ges 100. Indexes are derived from monthly figures of construction contracts awarded
reported by the F. W. Dodge Corporation. Reports covered 37 States beginning with May 1924 and a
varying number for earlier years. In order to obtain comparable figures from 1919 to date, the total value
of construction contracts awarded in 37 States was estimated for January 1919 through April 1924. Sea­
sonal adjustments were computed separately for “residential” and “all other” types of construction and
the two series combined. The indexes are based on a 3-month moving average, centered at the middle
month. For a more detailed description of the indexes, see the Federal Reserve Bulletin for July 1931.

N o t e .— Figures

cover new buildings and repairs to old buildings, but exclude data for installation permits
(those for installing boilers, signs, etc.) which are not strictly building operations. Although installation
permits are rather numerous, they represent a small dollar value. The quantity figures represent the

[These estimates represent the value of work performed during the year, as measured by expenditures for
labor, material, and other items. They consequently differ from building permit and construction
contract data which measure the value of work started. In addition, they have a generally broader
coverage than permit and contract data. Figures include value and cost of installation of equipment
which is an integral part of a structure, but not that of machinery, shipbuilding, or land costs. For
annual estimates, 1915-28, approximately comparable with data below, see Statistical Abstract, 1942,

N o t e .— The 1939 Census of Construction covered all persons or establishments whose principal business
in 1939 was utilizing construction materials and labor in construction work for others, or for themselves

for speculative and investment purposes, on projects located within the limits of continental United
States. It included erection and installation departments of manufacturers and merchandisers, when it
was an important but not necessarily major portion of their business enterprise. Force-account work,
ship and boat building, and installation and servicing of domestic appliances were not included. “ Work
performed” represents contract or order value of work done by the contractor’s or builder’s own forces.
W ork sublet to others was not included as work performed in the report of the builder or general con­
tractor, but was reported as part of the business of the special trade contractor who received the sub­
contract. “ Construction work” includes alterations and repairs, as well as new construction and
additions. Data for establishments reporting less than $500 of work performed in 1939 are not included.
The canvass is known to have been incomplete in coverage of small contractors who operated from their
homes. Most of this shortage occurred in metropolitan districts. It is believed that this undercoverage
affects materially only number of establishments and number of proprietors.

1929 and 1939 comparisons must be limited to establishments reporting business of $25,000 or more
as the 1929 census covered only that size group. That size group in 1939 accounted for 77 percent of total
value of work performed by all contractors and builders regardless of size. Geographic distribution is
based on office Address of reporting establishment, not location of construction project.

No. 9 5 3 .— B uilding C osts, Small-H ouse, foe Representative Cities—
I ndexes : 1940 to 1943
[Cost indexes are shown in this table for April of each year for the cities in the New York, Indianapolis,
Des Moines, and Portland Districts; for M ay of each year for the cities in the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati,
Little Rock, and Los Angeles Districts; and for June of each year for the cities in the Boston, WinstonSalem, Chicago, and Topeka Districts. In figuring costs, current prices and wage rates are obtained
every 3 months from identical sources in each of the cities. These data are the basic material for the
computation of the small-house building cost index given in table 952. The various units of material and
labor are selected to conform with their contribution to the total cost of the completed dwelling. The
standard 6-room frame house for which costs are given is not one completed and ready for occupancy, but
only with all fundamental structural elements included. It does not include wallpaper, lighting fixtures,
screens, etc., nor do costs reported include land, landscaping, or fees. These figures can be used to study
the trend of costs within an individual community or for a comparison of trends in different cities]

[Figures for 1940 are based on occupied dwelling units and are not strictly comparable with data for private
families, but the differences are so small as to be negligible. Figures for 1900 and 1930 represent pri­
vate families only; those for 1890,1910, and 1920, include a small number of quasi-family groups]

[For urban and rural-nonfarm units, monthly rent and value include land; for farm units, land is excluded.
M onthly rental data include contract rent of tenant-occupied nonfarm units and estimated rent of other
units. M onthly rent of owner-occupied rural-farm units is an estimate based on 1 percent of reported
value. Value of owner-occupied units represents the owners’ estimate of the value. For tenant-occupied
and vacant units value was estimated as 100 times the monthly rent. Value or rent of units for which
these data were not reported was estimated by assuming that the average value or rent of such units was
the same as the value or rent of reporting units in the corresponding tenure and occupancy group of the
urban and rural areas of each region.]

N ote .—T he median may be defined as that item which is in the middle of a series arranged according
to size. Thus, the median rent is the rent which divides the total number of dwelling units into two equal
groups, one having rents higher than the median and one having rents lower than the median. Monthly
rental data include contract rent of tenant-occupied units and estimated rent of owner-occupied and vacant
units. Figures for “ All dwelling units” include vacant units.

C L IM A T IC D A T A

O F S E L E C T E D C I T IE S , B Y M O N T H S

Climatic data are gathered by the United States Weather Bureau at 5,500 stations, about 500 having
automatic or hourly readings and the remaining 5,000 taking 1 observation a day. Observations have been
taken at varying lengths of time at each station. The earliest year of record is 1871 at many stations,
although some earlier, less detailed records began in the eighteenth century.
The following tables contain data from a carefully selected list of cities, chosen to give as general repre­
sentation of climatic factors as is possible in the limited space available. The “ Normals” are standard
data selected by the Weather Bureau as representative of conditions in the local area. These data are ad­
justed to other long-record stations in the vicinity when the period of record is not the same as for the stand­
ard normals. In all other tables the averages represent the customary arithmetic average of the period of
record. All temperature data are in degrees Fahrenheit, precipitation in inches and hundredths, and snow­
fall in inches and tenths. Wind data are corrected to true velocities.
The number of degree days as used in these tables is the sum of the positive differences between 65° and
the daily mean temperatures. Experience has shown that, for buildings requiring an inside temperature of
approximately 70°, the amount of fuel or heat used per day is proportional to the number of days the average
outside temperature falls below about 65°. The degree day is based on this principle.
Relative humidity data represent averages based on three to four daily observations.

In the United States petroleum and its products are measured by bulk, not
weight. Whether handled in containers or without them the quantities are cus­
tomarily reduced to the equivalent of barrels of 42 United States gallons (barrel
thus equals 158.984 liters). In many foreign countries these commodities are
measured by weight. The specific gravity of the different grades of crude petro­
leum and of the finished products varies materially. On the basis of approximate
averages the Department of Commerce in converting foreign weight statistics
to gallons or barrels of 42 gallons uses the factors shown in the following table:

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SOURCES OF STATISTICAL DATA
GENERAL NOTE

This bibliography contains under the various subject headings references to the
important primary sources of statistical information for the United States.
Secondary sources have been referred to if the information contained therein is
presented in a particularly convenient form or if primary sources are not readily
available. One-time studies presenting compilations or estimates for several
years or new types of data not available in regular series are included.
Much valuable information will also be found in State reports and in reports
for particular commodities, industries, or similar segments of our economic and
social structure. However, because of the large number of such references, they
are not included here.
Section references on the right hand side of each page indicate that data from
the report cited appear in the Statistical Abstract. Where current reports and
a summary volume are both cited in the bibliography the section reference will
often appear opposite the summary volume only. Reference to the sections
indicated will enable the user to ascertain the type of information presented in
the original source. However, it should not be assumed that all of the subjects
from that source are summarized in the Abstract.
The location of the publisher of the report is given except for Federal govern­
mental agencies located in Washington. Major inquiries, such as the Census of
Population, are referred to by name rather than by specific volume references
under the various topic headings. The final reports of the Sixteenth Census,
which include those on the Censuses of Agriculture, Business, Manufactures,
Mineral Industries, Population, and Housing, are listed at the end of the
bibliography.
