STATE OF NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY Albany, March 16, 1914. Hon. MARTIN H. GLYNN, Governor of the State of New York: Sir. — Herewith is presented the recommendations of the Department of Efficiency and Economy for the complete budget of the State of New York, for the fiscal year beginning Octo- ber 1, 191 4, which has been prepared in conformity with the suggestions contained in your message to the Legislature, January 7, 1914, on the subject of State Finances. All appropriations are presented in the itemized form suggested by you, and all departmental estimates of appropriations desired have been reduced to a point within the total revenues esti- mated to be available, for the next fiscal year. The following paragraphs from your message have been the guiding rules for the investi- gators of this department, namely: " This Legislature faces requests for appropriations amounting approximately to $63,000,000. Our receipts for the coming year from indirect sources are estimated at $41,000,000. " We cannot materially increase our receipts; we must decrease our expenditures. To meet the difference between our income and the expenditures requested would mean the imposition of a direct tax of two and one-fourth mills upon the taxpayers of the State. The exactions of local taxation are already so burdensome in our various municipalities that such a tax would be a hardship upon our people. " This burden must be avoided by a curtailment in the State's expenses, by the refusal to grant a single unnecessary dollar for any public purpose, and by a determination to see that the State gets a dollar's worth of service or a dollar's worth of material for every dollar expended. " A general policy of economy must be observed on every hand. " No appropriation should be made which does not benefit the State as a whole. But, State- wide movements must, of course, have local beginnings. " No State subsidies should be provided for purely local purposes or purely local insti- tutions. " No new activities or new functions involving appropriations, unless positively demanded by public welfare, should be undertaken by the State until such time as an ample surplus has been accumulated in the State Treasury. " No increase in expenditures should be sanctioned except for the purpose of securing greater revenues, compelling greater economy, conserving our natural resources or meeting some extraordinary public emergency. " No appropriations for the maintenance of departments and institutions should be made upon guesswork. They should be based upon actual figures and actual needs. " All appropriations should be for specific purposes and specified amounts. ' ' Every appropriation should be minutely itemized so that not a dollar can be diverted from its lawful purpose. " Above all, appropriations must first be made for necessities. When necessities have been properly provided for, it will be time to consider whether there is any money left to spend upon luxuries. u All grants of money should be contained in one appropriation bill. Under the budget system this should be easily effected. Those receiving appropriations from the State have more and more each year ignored the plain purpose of the appropriation to provide funds for a single fiscal year, and have created obligations in excess of the amount appropriated, so that the Supply Bill, carrying such items, has increased from $3,809,925.60 in 1907 to $5,709,331.66 in 1913. The Supply Bill is the State's pork-barrel bill. As an invitation to extravagance, it should be abolished. [iii] 6673^1 The Appropriation Bill passed by the Assembly on Thursday, March 12, 1914, after a discussion of less than two hours, requires complete revision. It is impossible to believe that it was sincerely expected to provide adequately for the fiscal needs of the State. It is well known that the studied and deliberate purpose of the Ways and Means Committee of the Assembly was to hamper and paralyze certain divisions of the State government which are highly necessary, solely because those in charge of these divisions are not members of the political party that controls the majority in the Assembly. Co-incident with the passage of the Ways and Means Committee bill, the chairman of the committee caused to be given to the press bureaus a statement that the bill was some $3,200,000 lower than the amount recommended by the Department of Efficiency and Economy. There was no foundation for that statement. No bill has been recommended by the Department of Efficiency and Economy. This Department was given no opportunity to submit to the Ways and Means Committee the information it had collected, at the expense of weeks of labor and a considerable sum of money. The nearest approach to a consultation was when the Commissioner called the attention of the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee to the numerous errors in the first draft of the bill. The chairman professed to be grateful for the information. He thereupon sent his clerks to the office of the Department and there the bill was revised as to language, but no figures or amounts were changed. The corrected items did not contain recommendations of the Depart- ment concerning any items in the bill. In a letter sent to the chairman and other members of the Ways and Means Committee the information was given that this Department had collected much data and material regarding the requests for appropriations, and that this was at the disposal of the members of the Assembly. This information was ignored, and the Assembly committee prepared its bill without any apparent consideration of the needs of the various departments and institutions. In the budget hereby submitted by the Department of Efficiency and Economy, no useful activity of the State government has been disregarded. There is no partisanship in the recom- mendations. Every item of reduction will bear honest scrutiny and the recommendations stand upon their own merits. The material in this report was prepared in time to have been submitted to the Legislature at the beginning of the session, and if the Ways and Means Committee had desired to co-operate with the agency created by the Legislature, a scientific bill could have been introduced and passed during the first month of the life of the present Legislature. This report is now transmitted to you in the belief that the work of this Department during the months of November and December will be of value in the final consideration of the matter of appropriations. The items of appropriations that are recommended in this report have been determined as a result of a careful examination of the requests for appropriations filed by the administrative officers of the several departments and institutions of the State. Conferences were held with all of these officers, and examiners and accountants prepared an analysis in which every item was presented in comparison with the amounts appropriated last year. This method brought into bold relief every new position, every increase of salary, and every proposed addition to miscellaneous expense. This analysis was before the Board of Estimate at its hearings, and was published and delivered to the Legislature in January. The report now presented contains a completely segregated form of Appropriation Bill, which is a radical departure from the unitemized method heretofore in vogue, and again adopted this year by the Assembly. Every position concealed in the various " grades " described in [iv] former appropriation bills is here stated under its departmental title. Every large item of mis- cellaneous expense is subdivided into smaller units, and deceptive language which permitted the establishment of new positions by authority of items entitled " office expenses " has been eliminated. As a result of the knowledge gained by this examination of departmental methods, nearly every estimate submitted has been completely revised and materially reduced. In some items, the amounts recommended this year are higher than the appropriations of last year. In some instances this is due to the fact that some departments had large unex- pended balances which were applied last year and are now exhausted. In other instances the increase is compulsory on account of greater demands upon the departnemt. As an illustration may be cited the State hospitals for the insane, in which must be provided maintenance for more than one thousand additional inmates. All recommendations are based upon actual needs, and all are based upon actual information carefully considered. The total amount of requests for appropriations received from the various departments, institutions, bureaus and offices of the State for the fiscal year 19 14- 191 5, as amended to date, is as follows: Appropriation Bill $35 , 129, 713 . 32 Supply Bill 4,643,657.78 Total. $39,773,371 • 10 The total amounts recommended by the Department of Efficiency and Economy are as follows : Appropriation Bill $32,252,619.69 Supply Bill 1 , 602 , 060 . 58 Total $33,854,680.27 The reduction recommended by the Department of Efficiency and Economy amounts to $5,918,690.83. Every item that is a matter of yearly appropriation has been included in the Appropriation Bill. The Supply Bill is composed of only such items as are necessary to supply deficiencies in former appropriations, or are required for immediate expenditure by the departments. Two- thirds of the total amount of the Supply Bill recommended is contained in five items, viz.: County fairs, State Fair, Hospital deficiencies, Legislative contingent fund and penitentiaries. The five items aggregate $1,010,000. There are no " pork barrel " items included. Those who discuss State appropriations commonly overlook the fact that the items for the support of State departments do not constitute nearly all the compulsory appropriations. The Appropriation Bill and Supply Bill cannot be considered a State budget. In addition thereto must be provided funds for the upkeep and renewal of State buildings and other property, for the maintenance of highways, for the payment of legal obligations, for grade crossing elimina- tions, and for principal and interest of the sinking funds. In addition to the Appropriation and Supply Bills, therefore, this department has examined the requests submitted for all of these purposes, and includes in its recommendations what it considers the most necessary items to provide this year. The boundary line of expenditure to be kept in view is the total sum of the prospective revenue from indirect taxation, and the fact that this is estimated at approximately forty-two million dollars has controlled the determinations made. The total sum of the recommendations made herein is more than thirteen millions less than the aggregate appropriations requested. Therefore it is obvious that agreement in the selection M of particular improvements to be made this year cannot be expected from those whose applica- tions are omitted or curtailed. Careful consideration has been given to each item, however, and the result represents the best judgment of the department. A summary of the items in the complete budget is as follows: Appropriation Bill $32 , 252 , 619 69 Supply Bill 1 ,602 ,060 58 Total $33,854,680 27 Charitable Institutions 374 650 00 Insane Hospitals 1 , 316 > , 550 00 Town Highways 1 , 800 , 000 00 County Highways no, 000 00 State Highways 2 , 500 , 000 00 Total $39,955,880 27 MISCELLANEOUS APPROPRIATIONS.

The tables, statistics, and other material are at your disposal and that of the Legislature in its work on the appropriations. The explanations made by the various departments, bureaus, institutions and offices of the State in connection with their requests for appropriations have been included in this report, and are given in the column under the requests at the end of each division. The reasons for the recommendations of the Department of Efficiency and Economy are also given, in the briefest possible manner, in the column under the form and amounts recommended, and opposite the explanation given by those making the requests. Respectfully submitted, JOHN H. DELANEY, Commissioner of Efficiency and Economy. [vi] INDEX.

This is necessary on account by the ever increasing number of automobiles which secure licenses and for which number plates and certificates must be provided. During the fiscal year which ended September 30, 1913, there was col- lected from automobile licenses the sum of $1,267,832.95. 122,750 00 245,870 00 $300,430 00 SUMMARY. The office of the Secretary of State should be considered as two distinctly separate bureaus — the administrative office and the automobile bureau. The total amount of appropriations requested for the administrative office is $120,800 00 The amount recommended is 114,500 00 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY.

Net increase amounts to $3,440. These increases are for salaries of civil service employees who, on account of faithfulness and efficiency and by a comparison of salaries paid in other departments of the state for similar work, are entitled to such increases. It is found necessary for the good of the department that heed be given to fair requests for increases in salary made by competent workers. 15 TEMPORARY SERVICES. The amount expended for temporary services during the fiscal year ending September 30, 1913, was $2,210.24. The employees in- clude stenographers, copyists and two laborers. The temporary periods were from one to four months. This office was required last year to copy 16,000 certificates of incorporation filed and 10,000 certified copies of incorporation papers. In addition thereto there is extra work in connection with the election law prior to election, and the burden of issuing invitations, etc., for the inaugural ceremony is also borne by this office. 16 ELECTION LAWS. Only $20,000 was asked for in 1913 for the reason that there was an unexpended balance from chapter 546, laws of 1912. Amount expended for fiscal year beginning October 1, 1912, was $24,585.08, and the sum of $24,796.81 has been expended for the present fiscal year beginning October 1, 1913. Appropriation is now exhausted. 18 OFFICE EXPENSES. Only $5,000 was asked for in 1913 for the reason that there was a large unexpended balance from former appropriations. Amount expended for fiscal year beginning October 1, 1912, was $8,949.87. 19 POSTAGE AND TRANSPORTATION. The amount expended for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1913, was $4,702.97, for transportation of session laws, election laws and blanks, and legislative documents sent out in accordance with provisions of sections 24 of the executive law, 549 of the election law, 320 of the election law and 49 of the legislative law. MOTOR VEHICLE BUREAU. 23 A new position — that of law examiner — is needed in the auto- mobile bureau. Owing to the rapidly increasing amount of work, the involved propositions of law to be dealt with, together with the ever necessary modifications of law to meet new and growing questions arising with reference to the automobile bureau, it is necessary to secure the services of a law examiner, whose qualifications more than others must be that he has been duly admitted to practice law in the state of New York. 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 Provides for increasing salaries of several employees. The net in- crease amounts to $3,750, to be distributed among 128 employees. 33 OFFICE EXPENSES. No appropriation was asked for under chapter 792, laws of 1913, as there was a large unexpended balance on hand. The amount expended for office expenses for the fiscal year beginning October 1. 1912, was $27,496.27. The balance of appropriation under chapter 546, laws of 1912. will hardly bo enough to carry us along for the present fiscal year, therefore a deficiency is asked for. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 All requests for increases in amounts now allowed for grades should be denied. Salaries of employees should be increased only by pro- motion from lower grades to higher as va-ewncies occwr in the higher, and this is now within the power of the administrative officer. The salaries paid to women stenographers in the lowest civil service grade in this department is $11.50 per week, which is more than the average amount paid by private business concerns to employees doing similar work, and from this point of beginning the salaries range up to $25 per week. There is no evidence that competition of private business is causing efficient state employees to abandon state employment. 15 TEMPORARY SERVICES. The regular staff of the secretary of state's office is employed to perform precisely the duties described in the explanation of this request. If such duties did not exist there would be no occasion for permanent employees. It is recommended that the request be denied. 16 ELECTION LAWS. It appears that the increased amount requested must be allowed. Reduction last year was caused by utilizing an unexpended balance. is OFFICE EXPENSES. The actual amount expended for fiscal year ending September 30, 1913, was $7,950.62, made up as follows: Printing and binding $2, 999 71 Stationery and typewriter supplies 581 44 Office furniture and equipment 1, 766 17 Telegraph, telephone and messenger service 1,203 68 Transportation 230 30 Miscellaneous 1, 024 55 Traveling expenses 144 77 $7,950 62 The fact that there was available in this fund the sum of $1,766.17 for office furniture, and $144.77 for traveling expenses, indicates that more than sufficient for actual and necessary office expenses was provided by the former legislature. The sum of $7,000 appears to be ample to provide for all legitimate office expenses. 19 POSTAGE AND TRANSPORTATION. The amount requested this year is not an increase over that appro- priated in 1913, and appears to be required. MOTOR VEHICLE BUREAU. 23 Application for new position should be denied. The position of law examiner exists in the civil service grade and if special knowledge of this kind is required one of the other employees should be dis- pensed with so as to permit the substitution of an employee having the special qualification, without increasing the amount of the appropriation. 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 All requests for increases in amounts now allowed for grades should be denied and salaries of employees increased only by promotion from lower grades to higher as vacancies occur. The increases instead of being distributed between 128 employees are given to very few. 33 OFFICE EXPENSES. This item affords a striking example of the possibe manipulation of lump sum appropriations. On October 1, 1912, there was an un- expended balance available for office expenses amounting to $45,- 674.68. During the fiscal year ending September 30, 1913, there was expended from this amount $27,496.27. and there remained at the beginning of the current fiscal year $18,178.41, which, it is stated 35 36 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. Secretary of State — continued. 9 EXPLANATORY NOTES BY DEPARTMENT. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. This appropriation like all others under the motor vehicle bureau covers expenses for Albany, New York and Buffalo offices. NUMBER PLATES. The amount expended for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1912, was $56,058.25. Under chapter 792, laws of 1913, there is an appropriation of $50,000. A deficiency item is therefore requested to pay for plates during the present fiscal year. For the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1914, this amount will have to be increased considerably according to the increase in the number of registrations. These plates are something which must be fur- nished to parties making application for the same. If they do not secure them from us on making application they are subject to criminal prosecution. Therefore, ample provision should be made as it is almost impossible to anticipate what the increase will be in registrations for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1914, and ending September 30, 1915. CHAUFFEURS' BADGES. Only $4,000 was asked for under chapter 792, laws of 1913, because we had on hand a large unexpended balance from former appro- priations. It is impossible to anticipate the registrations of chauffeurs for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1914. 37 POSTAGE. Appropriation requested, $15,000 00 Amount appropriated in 1913, 8,000 00 The sum expended during the fiscal year ending Septem- ber 30, 1913, was $11,837.62. The amount available for the pres- ent fiscal year, including the balance from former appropriations and the amount appropriated in 1913, is $12,971.19. 38 TRANSPORTATION. Appropriation requested, $24,000 00 Amount appropriated in 1913, 13,000 00 It is estimated that at least 200,000 number plates will be issued. Provision must l>c made for the delivery of at leusl 70 in the explanation, " will hardly be enough to carry us along for the present fiscal year; therefore a deficiency is asked for." The expenditure of $27,496.27 was made up as fo'llows: Printing and binding $9, 079 50 Stationery and typewriter supplies 2, 080 42 Office furniture and equipment 14 88ft 20 Incidental office expenses j 447 15 $27,496 27 Excluding the cost of the new office furniture and equipment purchased, the actual office expenses were $12,607.07. Therefore it appears that the unexpended balance of $18,178.41 available at the beginning of the present current year, if disbursed solely for proper office expenses, should be sufficient and there should be remaining an unexpended Iialance of approximately $5,000 at the beginning of the next fiscal year. An appropriation this year of $7,000, in addition to this $5,000 of surplus now in hand will be ample to provide for the necessities of the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1914. 35 NUMBER PLATES. Appropriation requested $75, 000 00 Appropriated in 1913 50^ 000 00 Increase in appropriation requested $25, 000 00 38 The law requires that a set of number plates be furnished to every person taking an automobile license. The number of cars registered is increasing every year. In 1912 the number of cars registered was 107, 466 In 1913 the number of registrations was 134, 40.5 In 1914 the number of plates contracted for is 150,000 The contract price for each set of plates is 29 cents. Therefore, the total expenditure, if the entire amount of the contract of 150,000 plates is taken, will be $43,500. Thus it appears that a $50,000 appropriation will be ample to provide sufficient number of plates for the current fiscal year, and that the additional amount of $10,000 requested in the supply bill may be disallowed. Estimating that 175,000 plates may be required for the next fiscal year, and that the contract price be 30 cents, there will be required the sum of $52,500. In addition to the original plates, duplicates and dealers sets are required, and $7,500 will be ample to supply these. Therefore a total appropriation of $60,000 for number plates for the next year appears to be sufficient. 36 CHAUFFEURS' BADGES. Appropriation requested $6, 000 00 Amount appropriated in 1913 4, 000 00 37 On October 1, 1912, there was in this fund an unexpended bal- ance of $5,453.28. The expenditures during the fiscal vear which closed September 30. 1913, were $3,485.81. Therefore, in addition to the amount of $4,000 appropriated last year, there was an unexpended balance of $1,967.47, which provides a sum for the current fiscal year of $4,967.47. Approximately 00,000 chauffeurs were registered during the year which closed January 30, 1914. The badges to be furnished these men cost $70 per thousand, or 7 cents each. Therefore the total number of badges required can be procured for $4,200. Deducting this amount from the total sum of $5,967.47 available for the expenses of this current year, there will remain at the beginning of the next fiscal year $1,767.47. If an appropriation of $4,000. the same amount as provided last year, be made, there will be available for the next year $5,767.47 which is more than sufficient. POSTAGE. An appropriation of $12,000 is recommended. TRANSPORTATION. The large increase in amount of expense estimated for delivery of number plates does not appear to be justified by even the figures of the department. It is estimated that 175,000 plates will be required next year. 70 per cent, to be delivered by parcels post 10 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. Secretary of State — continued. EXPLANATORY NOTES BY DEPARTMENT. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. 40 per cent, of that amount. It is almost impossible to anticipate what the rate of increase will be over the present fiscal year; also whether there wll be a change in the rates of delivery. Figuring at the above amount of registrations and the present rates of delivery, the expense for delivery of numbr plates would be ap- proximately $18,000; the balance of the appropriation would be used for sending, by freight or express, all printed forms, sup- plies, furniture, etc., used by the bureaus at New York and Buffalo. An allowance is also made should the registrations ex- ceed the amount estimated. During the year ending September 30, 1913, the total expenditures were $17,777.35. RENT AND LIGHT. Only $4,000 was asked for under chapter 702. laws of 1013, because there was a large unexpended balance on hand owing to the dis- continuance of the branch oltice at IS Washington avenue, Albany. Beginning November 1, 1913, it has been found necessary to take additional space in the New York office, increasing the rent $2,000 per year more. There is an unexpended balance on hand of $5, 897.91 together with an appropriation of $4,000 for the present fiscal year which will be sufficient for this year only. The rent of the New York and Buffalo offices at present amounts to $6,820 per year exclusive of light. 41 MAINTENANCE OF AUTOMOBILES. Appropriation requested, $10,000 00 The actual amount expended during the fiscal year which ended September 30, 1913, was 8,130 70 The appropriation is used for the storage and maintenance of four automobiles in New York city for the purpose of giving examinations of chauffeurs, which is required before licenses are issued. These machines are subjected to severe strain, being operated by so many men who are more or less novices. Ap- proximately 39,000 chauffeurs were examined in New York city last year. 43 REFUNDS. No appropriation was asked for in 1913 because there was sufficient unexpended balance to last until October 1, 1914, which balance if there is any remaining at that time will lapse. 44 INSPECTION BUREAU. Appropriation requested, $90,000 00 This item is requested for the purpose of instituting an in- spection bureau in connection with the automobile department. There are at present only five inspectors and one chief inspector of automobiles in the state of New York, with the result that thousands of machines owned by residents of the state operate under licenses of other states. Violations of the law are un- heeded and fees are uncollected. A proper supervision as out- lined by this office would tend greatly to reduce the number of accidents, loss of life and damage to limb and property. Such a bureau has received the encouragement of the press and all persons interested in motor vehicles and motor laws. The auto- mobile department would collect with this provision — with no change in the license fee of motor vehicles, upward of $1,500,000. To-day in many counties no moneys are turned into the state treasury for violations of the motor law, while under proper supervision the law would be enforced and infractions thereof would be prosecuted. At present enforcement of the law is almost a farce. This appropriation was approved by the senate and assembly in 1913 and vetoed by the governor. The bureau is to have a Supervisor of records, at A deputy, at Assistant to deputy, at 10 investigators, at 30 inspectors, at Clerks and stenographers and other expenses in connection therewith $3,000 per annum 2,500 per annum 1,800 per annum 10,000 per annum 36,000 per annum 36,700 per annum 411 41 43 44 or express would be 122,500 plates. At 15^ per package the cost would be $18,375. It is therefore evident that $20,000 should be a sufficient appropriation. RENT AND LIGHT. The full amount requested is recommended. The increase is only apparent, the appropriation last year being reduced by an unex- pended balance, as stated. MAINTENANCE OF AUTOMOBILES. The sum of $2,000 for the maintenance of each automobile seems to be excessive. The present appropriation of $6,000, or an allowance of $1,500 per machine, is ample. REFUNDS. Appropriation is recommended. INSPECTION BUREAU. The statement that the establishment of a new $90,000 bureau would increase the state revenue to the amount of $1,500,000 in license fees which now escape, has no evidence to support it, and the amount of revenue available this year does not seem to permit the making of a costly experiment. This item is, therefore, omitted in the bill as recommended by this department. BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. 11 ADMINISTRATIVE — STATE COMPTROLLER.

Reduced $500, as a portion of the unexpended balance remaining from chapter 546, laws of 1912, is to be reappropriated in the supply bill for the same purpose. Same as last year. This amount has always been paid from the appropriation made for office expenses. It is now thought best to make a separate ap- propriation for this purpose, in order that the amount of rent may be readily ascertained. Ten thousand dollars was appropriated for this purpose in the sup- ply bill of last year. It is absolutely necessary that the depart- ment be provided with additional office room and an effort is being made to provide this space. The office is greatly overcrowded, and if the additional room is secured, this appropriation will be neces- sary for providing additional equipment and renovating the pres- ent quarters. No appropriation has been made for this purpose since 1912 and there is no balance available at present. It is estimated that this amount will be necessary for the purpose indicated. Same as last year. Same as last year, with the exception: Tenth grade, one employee. $2,400. This is an increase of $300 for employee formerly in ninth grade at $2,100. This employee is Charles H. Mullens, one of the assistant deputies, who holds a very responsible position. A re- quest would have been made for this salary two years ago, but the civil service rules would not permit of the increase in time to use the appropriation, if it had been allowed. The comptroller feels that Mr. Mullens' work and the responsibilities of the posi- tion entitle him to this increase. Fifth grade, one employee, $900. This employee is at present receiving this salary, in accordance with civil service rules. He was formerly paid from appropria- tion for two employees, fourth grade, and is now being paid from an unused $900 appropriation in land tax bureau. Same as last year. Forty thousand dollars was appropriated for this purpose last year, being for salaries and expenses of this bureau. Under the provi- sions of chapter 342, laws of 1913, the additional responsibility placed upon the comptroller in connection with the audit and examination of accounts makes it necessary to increase the number of employees connected with this work. This amount is necessary to properly organize the bureau for the next fiscal year and pay the salaries of employees at present employed. 15 Same as last year. 151 Same as last year, with the following exceptions: Eighth grade, five employees, $8,700. Increase of $150 each for two employees formerly in seventh grade at $1,500 each. These small increases are asked for the reason that the length of service of these employees entitles them to this moderate in- crease which is in proportion to salaries paid other employees in the bureau for similar work. Sixth grade, three employees, $3,400. Increase of $100 for em- ployee formerly in fifth grade. This employee was transferred to this bureau in the depart- ment for this particular work, with the anticipation that the salary would be increased the coming year, if the work was satis- factory. A $900 position in the land tax bureau is abolished and no appropriation is being asked for this year, which will more than offset the increases in salaries, aggregating $880, requested for the finance and land tax bureaus. 16 Same as last year. (This position is vacant.) 17 Same as last year, with the exception ofi Seventh grade, 2 employees, $2,850. This is an increase of $150 for employee formerly in the sixth grade. The increase is asked for efficient and faithful work and to establish a more uniform salary for work performed in the bureau. Same as last year. Same as last year with the following exceptions: Tenth grade, one employee increased $100. Increase asked for this employee for efficient and general knowl- edge of the corporation tax law. Ninth grade, three employees, $5,900. Increase of $100 for em- ployee formerly in the eighth grade. 18 19 21 22 24 25 26 27 28 31 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. State Comptroller ■ — continued. EXPLANATORY NOTES BY COMPTROLLER. 19 Seventh grade one employee increased $100. The work of this bureau has greatly increased and these employees are entitled to this increase in recognition of faithful service. Same as last year. This is $5,000 more than allowed in appropriation bill of last year. There was an appropriation of $8,000 in the supply bill, making a total of $58,000 allowed last year. No request will be made for an appropriation in the supply bill for this year. It is, therefore, a decrease of $3,000 over the total appropriations for this purpose for last year. Same as last year. This is an increase of $9,000 over appropriations allowed last year, there being $50,000 in the appropriation bill and $1,000 in the supply bill. No appropriation is being asked for in the supply bill this year. This amount is necessary to pay the annual sal- aries of the examiners now employed. Same as last year. This is an increase of $1,000. There are at present three detective agents employed at $1,8080 per year each, which leaves but $600 for their traveling expenses and the necessary expenses of the bureau. Same as last year. No appropriation was allowed for this purpose last year, for the 32 33 34 36 37 reason that there was a considerable balance on hand which is to be reappropriated in the supply bill this year. A new supply of stock transfer tax stamps is now being printed, which will add greatly to the expenses of this bureau during the coming year. For that reason, it is estimated that this amount is necessary. This item has heretofore been appropriated in the supply bill. The balance on hand will be sufficient for this fiscal year. It is requested that this amount be appropriated in the appropriation bill in the future. Same as last year. $35,000 was appropriated in the appropriation bill and $5,000 in the supply bill of last year for this purpose. Request is now being made for $3,000 in the supply bill of this year which, with the amount asked for here, will show an increase of $1,000 over the total appropriations of last year for this purpose. This is estimated to be necessary, owing to an increase in the work of the bureau and for its proper organization. Same as last year. No appropriation has been made for expenses of this bureau since its organization in 1912 and the appropriation made at that time is entirely exhausted. A request for $2,500 is made in the supply bill for expenses of this fiscal year, and the amount asked for here will be necessary for the next fiscal year. ADMINISTRATIVE — STATE TREASURER.

EXPLANATORY NOTES BY ATTORNEY-GENERAL. TEMPORARY SERVICES. This amount of $5,000 is $3,000 less than the appropriation of 1913. This fund is a regular one, necessary because of special appoint- ment of persons in connection with work of an urgent character in the office. (The appropriation for 1911 was $12,000.) COUNSEL. The item for counsel, commissioners, et cetera, is a miscellaneous fund, an auxiliary, in a measure, to the other funds of the office. The item of $15,000 is the same as that appropriated in 1913. Previous to this administration, the appropriations for this fund have amounted from $20,000 to $50,000. EXAMINERS OF TITLES TO LANDS. The total of the appropriation requested for examiners of titles to lands is comprised of $10,000 in the supply bill and $15,000 in the appropriation bill. The total request for this fund is the same as that appropriated in 1913. This amount is required for the reason that there are eight men regularly employed by this de- partment in connection with the examination of titles. It is my endeavor to dispose of the vast accumulation of titles arising out of the construction of the barge canal, in order that compen- sation may promptly be made to the numerous claimants through- out the state, whose property has been forcibly taken from them by appropriation and who have suffered great hardships owing to the delays in settlement. Tli is amount as appropriated leaves but a very small margin for the necessary traveling and incidental expenses of this important work. LIBRARY. The appropriation for this fund in 1913 was $5,000. It is necessary that an appropriation be made in order that the library of this department be kept in proper condition to meet the requirements of this office. 9 NEW YORK CITY ELECTION CASES. This item of $7,500 is the same as the appropriation of 1913. It has been my purpose to attend to the election cases in New York city by means of the regular deputies in the New York city bureau as far as possible. The expense incident to the attention of elec- tion cases under my administration has been but nominal. At- tention is respectfully called to the fact that in 1910 appropria- tion was made by the legislature to the amount of $50,000 for the care of these cases. 10 OFFICE EXPENSES. The request for appropriations for this fund is comprised of $5,000 in the supply bill and $15,000 in the appropriation bill. This amount is calculated sufficient to run the department until the appropriation of 1915 shall become effective. This fund is for gen- eral office purposes and necessarily carries the heavy expense of printing, stationery, supplies, et cetera. The estimates and the use of this fund have shown that the amount usually requested has been sufficient almost to a dollar to carry out the purposes required. 11 SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS. This item is $6,000 less than the appropriation of 1912 for the same purpose. No request was made for the appropriation in 1913. the reason being that the available balance was figured sufficient to carry the office through this year. The fund is an important one and of such a character that this department is able to carry forward any special litigation requiring attention. 18 RENT. This item is an increase of $245.55 over that of 1913, occasioned by a new lease and the rental of additional office space for our New York city bureau. ADMINISTRATIVE — CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.

The Commission has asked for appropriations at this time for salary of an additional examiner at the rate of $2,100 per annum; for increase in salary of 2 employees from $720 to $900 per annum; and the allowance of salary for a new position at $480 per annum. The additional position referred to is that of telephone operator, with salary at the rate of $480 per annum. An analysis of the schedule of appropriations for the next fiscal year will show that the Commission desires to increase the salaries of a number of employees. We do not consider it necessary to take up these increases separately, believing it sufficient to say" that the increases are recommended solely upon the efficiency of the employees on length of service and value in position occupied. For the present year the Commission has an appropriation of $6,000 for traveling expenses. A request for an increase of $1,500 in this amount is presented, with amendment providing that the commissioners shall each draw $1,500 per annum, payable monthly, in lieu of all expenses. The Commission is holding more meetings than ever before in the history of the department, and broadening its work in many lines. The Commission asks for a new item of $2,500. covering con- tingent service of temporary employees, including stenographers to the commissioners. This item is most essential, as the commissioners are constantly engaged at their home offices in official matters, and require stenographers and clerical assistance. The work of the examinations division is constantly increasing. The total number of candidates examined in 1909 was 11,431; in 1910, 13,658; in 1911, 20,055; in 1912, 18.236. During the 3-year period, 1908-1909-1910, the total number of candidates examined in open competitive and promotion competitive examinations was 27,109, while in the 3-year period, 1911-1912-1913. the total number examined will on a fair estimate reach 40,000. This shows an increase of nearly 50 per cent. The number of high grade or technical examinations held in the 3-vear period. 1908^1909-1910. was 6,317, and in the 3-year period, 1911-1912-1913. approximately 7.500. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. 12 OFFICE EXPENSES. This item affords evidence that even the Civil Service Commission, the fount of all purity in the public service, does not disdain to so adroitly word an appropriation item that it may be deceptive in its appearance. Concealed in the usual description of office expenses is the little phrase " and for expenses incurred in the inspection or investi- gation of the administration of the law and rules." By authority of those few words the sum of $1,264 was paid to employees last year, and at the close of the fiscal year the Commission reported a deficit in office expenses, which deficit was supplied by the special session of the legislature in November. It is recommended that the words above quoted, which have been again inserted in the appropriation bill this year, be stricken therefrom, and the item describe known and legitimate office expenses. The position hitherto paid out of this item has been included in the regular staff. 13 COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. The amount recommended for appropriation for this department is a net increase above the appropriation of last vear amounting to $4,660. The amount requested in the budget of this year is. . . . $82,940 00 The amount recommended is 78. 306 00 The reduction in requests amounts to. $4,580 00 The increase in expenses is necessary, partly due to increase in salaries for commissioners by the legislature of 1913. The reduction in the amount of requests is caused by disapproval of some increased salaries. 28 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. ADMINISTRATIVE — DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. WHY THE STATE REQUIRES THE DEPART- MENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONONY. The Department of Efficiency and Economy is the only agency in the state of New York which has for its sole purpose the reduction of expenditures and the prevention of the waste of state funds. It was created by chapter 280 of the laws of 1913, upon the recommendation of the com- mittee of inquiry appointed by the governor, which made an examination of state finances and business methods during the first three months of 1913. In a message to the legislature on March 24, 1913, the executive of the state said: " It is the recommendation of the committee of inquiry in its report that the great work which it has thus hastily, but with remarkable thoroughness, accomplished, should not be a passing work of wisdom, to be read, admired, commended and then neglected. " In a somewhat similar effort to promote efficiency and economy in the administration of the federal government, more than two years have been occupied by a commission at Washington. The work of the committee of inquiry, during the brief space that has intervened since the beginning of this year, will not sutler by comparison with the two years' work performed at Washington. " If efficiency and economy in the administration of the state's affairs are to be furthered and made a permanent endeavor, the work must be continued. The committee recommends the establishment of a Department of Effi- ciency and Economy, and wisely supplements that recom- mendation by legislation which will uphold the hands of the Commissioner of Efficiency and Economy by putting into operation, for the general welfare of the people, a systematic business and financial management of the state's business and financial affairs. It is high time the state of New York was placed on a business basis in the ad- ministration of its affairs. " * * * I am convinced that there is no room for doubt as to the wisdom of adopting this course. * * * The legislation recommended by the committee of inquiry has had my most careful consideration. Its wisdom is abun- dantly justified in the committee's report. It rests upon good reason. * * * If the recommendations herewith submitted shall find place in the body of the state's law, the great Empire state of New York will take the place, which rightly belongs to it, at the head of its sister states, furnishing to its people a wise, honest, efficient and eco- nomical administration of government. The people of the state so demand. Tt is our duty as representatives of the people to enact this demand into law." STATE'S BUSINESS RUN WITHOUT SYSTEM. The committee of inquiry found, and reported in plain language, that the business of the state was run without any systematic plan whatever. Each department was an independent enterprise and there was no effort at co-opera- tion, no point or place where the various activities of the state concentrate, said the report. That report has been justified, at every angle, through the painstaking investi- gation which the Department of Efficiency and Economy has made since its creation in May, 1913. In every department of the state, so far examined, anti- quated and wasteful methods that are the heritage of many years, have been found. Each of the 43 institutions of the state had its own methods of keeping accounts and of spending the state's money.

ITS WORK HAS NEVER BEEN ATTEMPTED BEFORE. The work now being done by the Department of Effi- ciency and Economy has never before been done by any office in the state. This report on requests for appropria- tions, with recommendations, that are the result of scien- tific budgetary examination, is an example. Such a work, performed by a disinterested staff of accountants and ex- aminers, has never been attempted before. On January 16, there was transmitted to the state board of estimate, and later to the members of the legislature, a preliminary report, containing an analysis of the requests for appro- priations. The analysis contained a line by line itemiza- tion of all the appropriations requested, and enabled anyone to discover what was contained in the more or less mysterious and often misleading requests for " lump sum " appropriations. No such analysis was ever made by the comptroller, or any agency of the state, prior to the creation of the Department of Efficiency and Economy. The advantage to the state of such an itemized budget requires no comment. To disregard such a method is to step backward. PREPARING APPROPRIATION BILLS. Since its creation last May, the Department of Efficiency and Economy has devoted much attention to appropriations and to the comparative necessity for appropriations and the method of using the money of the state. Practically all of the special appropriation bills left in the hands of the governor at the close of the regular session, last May, were at once turned over to the Commissioner of Efficiency and Economy for examination and report. One hundred and thirty-one such examinations were made and reports were made to the governor, for his guidance, on the rela- tive importance of the bills. In addition, every item in the appropriation and supply bills was examined and re- ported upon in the same manner. PREPARATION OF BILLS. Dpon the calling of an extra session, appropriation and supply bills were twice prepared, in itemized form, to meet the requirements of the governor, but were not trans- mitted to the legislature. In the fall, an accounting was made of the debts contracted in the executive chamber and executive mansion in excess of appropriations amount- ing to $34,000, and an itemized deficiency bill was prepared and passed by the legislature in December. In all, five spe- cial deficiency bills were prepared for the December session of the legislature by the Department of Efficiency and Economy. The special deficiency bills were prepared at the direc- tion of the present governor with the avowed purpose of ending the practice, in vogue in many departments, of running heavily into debt and trusting to the following year's appropriations to pay off the bills of the previous vear. One such bill, prepared after an examination of the printing situation in this state by the Commissioner of Efficiency and Economy, carried an appropriation of $520,- noo tn pay off old bills for printing, upon a large part of which the state was paying interest.

At the present time, the Department of Efficiency and Economy is devoting considerable attention to the state highway commtssion, in an endeavor to prevent the waste of thousands of dollars on proposed contracts for expensive and extravagant roads. The Department of Efficiency and Economy has been compelled to keep a close watch upon the highways department, with its more than $50,000,000 for state roads, because of complaints that the state's money was being wasted and unfair practices were carried on which prevented competition in bidding for road work. Within the present month, protests have been lodged with the comptroller against more than twenty-five proposed contracts for extravagant types of brick pavements, asphalt block roads in rural districts, and the construction of what amounts to city streets at the expense of the whole state, in isolated villages. The comptroller has the power to reject such contracts and he has rejected a number of those investigated by the Department of Efficiency and Economy this year. The first protest filed against the extravagant proposals of this year was directed at the project of constructing a brick paved street in a small isolated village that is seven miles away from the nearest stretch of improved state highway, at a cost of $27,732 per mile. In this case, the state would waste the sum of $16,022, over what a suitable bituminous macadam roadway, of the same length, would cost. Last year more than one hundred separate examinations were made of proposed contracts for highway construction and repairs, and some thirty-nine were recommended for rejection as a result. These proposals totaled more than $500,000. CHECKING FAVORITISM TO CONTRACTORS. Complaint was made to the Department of Efficiency and Economy last July that certain manufacturers of material used on the highways were enjoying a practical monopoly. An examination was held, which attracted so much attention that parts of the standard specifications have since been revised in response to a public demand. An example of the rapidity with which the Department of Efficiency and Economy responds to the complaints of citizens and officials was given in the investigation of state highway No. 5243 in Broome county. Protest having been made by the county superintendent of roads that the contractors were being paid excessive amounts for work that had not been performed led to an immediate investigation. It was proved, within a month after the payments had been made, at a public hearing, that the excess payments amounted to over $12,000, and the attorney- general was at once requested to take action. The road is not yet completed, and it is considered likely that the state will at least reduce its loss, if the entire amount expended is not recovered, through the promptness with which this department worked. STATE HOSPITAL INVESTIGATIONS. An investigation into the affairs of the state hospitals for the insane now being made by the Department of Efficiency and Economy shows that a sweeping examination of all these institutions is imperatively required. This department is the only agency of the state properly equipped and empowered for this work. Examinations are under way of the conduct of the state hospitals at Gowanda, Buffalo, Rochester, Central Islip. Kings Park, Flatbush, and Wards Island, Xew York city. The examinations cover the records and the physical conditions of each institution. The conditions found thus far are similar at each of the hospitals examined.

For actual and necessary expenses of officials and employees of the department in the performance of their official duties under the direction of the commissioner, and stenographic services report- ing hearings, thirty-five thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be necessary. 55,000 00 35,000 00 Expert Services. For services and expenses of experts in special ex- aminations and investigations and other tempo- rary employees, ten thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be necessary. 10,000 00 Total appropriation required. 10,000 00 $249,730 00 an absence of effort to compel well-to-do relatives to pay for the care of the insane members of their families in state institutions as required by law. The investigations in progress show that there are too many em- ployees in the state hospitals, that is, as shown by the payrolls. Another matter under investigation is the apparently high cost of maintaining the superintendents of these institutions. A public exami- nation held in response to complaints regarding the affairs of Gowanda State Hospital disclosed a condition that had prevailed over many years. So serious were the disclosures that this department was compelled to recommend the dismissal not only of the superintendent, but also the removal of a majority of the board of managers. The superintendent has since been removed. CHECKING WASTE IN INSTITUTIONS. At a conservative estimate, the Department of Efficiency and Economy can practically pay for itself out of the coal bill of the state through cutting down the amount of fuel consumed at its various institutions. Two engineers are constantly making scientific, thorough and accurate inspections of the power and heating plants at state institutions with the most modern testing instruments and methods to reduce this coal cost. Old and antiquated boilers and furnaces, lack of scales at the institutions, and costly and inefficient plants are the rule. Over a mil- lion dollars per annum is paid out by the state for coal, and the con- sulting engineers, as well as the staff engineers of the Department of Efficiency and Economy, stake their professional reputations on the assertion that this bill will be reduced by over $200,000 per year through the work inaugurated by this department. An example of the work of this department in this particular is found in the report to the state hospital commission concerning the Manhattan State Hospital on Ward's Island. It was found that a change in the BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. Department of Efficiency and Economy — continued. 31 plant would eliminate entirely a cost of $1,000 per month for handling the coal, and would reduce the consumption of coal by over $18,000 per year, amounting to a gross saving of $30,000 per annum. In this con- nection, the department reinforced the request of the Manhattan State Hospital for the money to make the necessary alterations, which would be paid for out of the savings in about three years, thus effecting true economy in administration for the state. REFORMING ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS. In its accountancy division, the Department of Efficiency and Economy has inaugurated new systems in the state architect's office, and in vari- ous other directions. All of the forty-three charitable, insane and penal institutions of the state are now making uniform estimates of their main- tenance items, a total of $11,000,000 annually. This is the first step toward a uniform system of state accounts. Daily time reports, to account for the employment and activities of state employees, have been prepared and are in use in this department, and have been adopted by gome large state departments. STATE TREASURER'S EXAMINATION. , Upon the death of the state treasurer an immediate examination of his accounts was begun at the direction of the governor. The examina- tion was conducted by accountants of the regular staff, who have the highest professional standing. The value of the department was again demonstrated in this instance. Such an examination had to be made by some agency that had not been connected with the state treasurer's office. The comptroller could not make this examination, under the cir- cumstances, because his examiners inspect the treasurer's books every week, and should discrepancies have been discovered, the comptroller's office would have been involved, unless the discrepancies were of most recent occurrence. So high was the standing of the certified public accountants who made the examination, however, that their findings were not open to question. Had this department not been ready with sucli a staff, an outside audit company or firm of accountants must have been engaged at much cost to the state. As it was, the examination of over $65,000,000 of accounts was completed in about two weeks' time. CHECKING WASTE IN PRINTING AND OFFICE SUPPLIES. The Department of Efficiency and Economy has been making an exami- nation of the public printing and the purchase of office supplies. It became apparent, during this examination, that many of the criticisms as to high prices were due to methods permitted by defects in the state printing law. A bill, designed to remedy these evils and to place all the purchasing of office supplies under the control of the printing board, was prepared and has been introduced in the legislature. The bill, if enacted, will prevent the indiscriminate purchase by departments of expensive office equipment as well as of the regular stationery and office supplies. These matters will be regulated by one body and competitive bids will be required from dealers. The needs of other departments, particularly the state library, have also been adequately provided for. CHECKING WASTE IN CAPITOL RECONSTRUCTION. For the board of trustees of public buildings, the Department of Efficiency and Economy has examined almost one hundred separate mat- ters. Upon request of the state architect and the trustees of public buildings, matters running into hundreds of thousands of dollars have been carefully investigated and passed upon by the examiners and accountants of this department. Sixty examinations have been made of matters concerning the capitol reconstruction work alone. The first matter in connection with capitol reconstruction to attract- the attention of the Department of Efficiency and Economy was a set of exorbitant bids for finishing certain portions of the interior work on the capitol. As a result of a protest, the specifications were read- vertised and the new bids were $25,000 less than the originals, saving the state that amount. The Commissioner of Efficiency and Economy, the state architect and the attorney-general are now serving as a committee, by appointment of the trustees of public buildings, to prepare plans for finishing the capitol repairs. In this work the committee is assisted by Mr. A. L. Brockway, of Syracuse, who represents the American Institute of Archi- tects. An immediate result of this work has been that more than two hundred employees, whose work was not required, have been dismissed, and the percentage contract has been suspended. The collection of unsightly sheds in the rear of the capitol will soon be removed. All of these matters have required weeks of the most careful investigation, that justice might be done to both sides and the state's credit protected. EXPERT EXAMINERS NECESSARY. To make these investigations, the services of expert engineers, chemists and other experts of the highest professional standing, as well as of accountants whose conclusions cannot be questioned, are required. It would be futile to make protests over the findings of the experts of another department without the highest professional opinion available to guarantee the genuineness of the criticisms. On the highway exami- nations, the Department of Efficiency and Economy has retained the lead- ing experts in the country, one of them professor of highway engineering in charge of postgraduate work in Columbia University. The saving to the state from the employment of such experts, on a project involving over $50,000,000, is beyond question. Although the comptroller has the power to pass upon contracts before they become binding upon the state, he has neither the men nor the appropriation to engage them to make such exhaustive examinations as have been made by the Department of Efficiency and Economy. Fur- ther, the comptroller has no power to audit the expenditures of the state highway commission, and the Department of Efficiency and Econ- omy is the only state agency empowered to keep a constant watch on these expenditures. EXAMPLE OF NEW YORK CITY. Had such a department been in existence ten years ago, there would now be no highway scandals nor necessity for sweeping investigations into charges of widespread corruption. The city of New York adopted the policy of prevention and constant watchfulness many years ago. It created tire office of the commissioners of accounts, and now has four such agencies, doing for the city of New York exactly what the new Department of Efficiency and Economy is performing for the state. The city of New York annually appropriates over $500,000 for this purpose, the commissioners of accounts alone receiving more than $200,000. To cover the state, therefore, as compared with a compact city, the state should be willing to approximate New York city appropriations, whereas the Department of Efficiency and Economy, with a supervision over forty-two state institutions and more than a hundred separate departments, asks for only $250,000. EMPLOYEES OF DEPARTMENT. This department at the present time employs fifty-five persons, includ- ing the Commissioner and other officers, in the regular work of the department. Of this number, forty-six are in the classified division of the civil service, or are special experts required for the technical and scientific examinations that are constantly being made in the various departments and institutions of the state. Of the total of fifty-five per- sons, nine are in the exempt class, including the deputies and the chiefs of the two divisions in charge of examinations. Practically every employee of the department, therefore, has passed a civil service exami- nation and has been taken from an eligible list. STAFF NOT COMPLETE. The force is not yet complete. There are forty-two institutions in the state, which spend a total of between $11,000,000 and $12,000,000 per annum. Haphazard methods prevail in many of these institutions, which are governed by local boards of managers, and a study such as is being made of their management and needs by the Department of Efficiency and Economy is absolutely essential if the state is to reduce expenses and secure efficient service for the money expended. To cover adequately 32 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. Department of Efficiency and Economy — continued. such a wide field requires a larger force of trained men, including both investigators and accountants. The department is now examining sev- eral of these institutions and finds amazing conditions in some of them. The work and the organization of the department has been greatly handicapped through the delays of the state civil service commission in conducting examinations and in preparing eligible lists. It was not until October that an examination for expert accountants was held, and it was not until January of this year that the eligible list resulting from that examination was furnished. Application was made in May for cer- tain appointments that were necessary in order to begin the work prop- erly, but this application was denied in July. In May the department consisted of four persons. At the end of June there were six. At the end of July there were eight. During August fourteen more were added, and in September five were appointed, making a total of only twenty-seven by October 1. The remainder have been added from time to time since. However, in spite of the difficulty in getting men, and the necessity of training them in the work, the depart- ment has made more than three hundred examinations, and each exami- nation discloses the necessity for maintaining this department, fully organized, to check up almost every activity of the state government. EXAMINATIONS. SUMMARY.

Item number 5, providing for an appropriation of $200,000 for printing, contains the following language: "So much of said fund as may be necessary therefor to be applicable to the payments of the legislative printing under contract therefor ending September 30, 1913." This language is inserted so that bills contracted prior to the beginning of the fiscal year for which this appropriation is made can be paid out of the fund provided. By this method appropriation deficiencies have been carried over from year to year until, when the accounts were balances on October 1, 1913, the beginning of the present fiscal year, it was found there was due the state printer the sum of $520,000 with no funds available for payment. The entire appropriation of $200,000 made by the legislature of 1913 for the expenses of the present legislature, was paid over to the state printer on October 1st, and there still remained due more than $300,000. This deficiency was supplied by the special session at the extraordinary session of the legislature, but no appropriation for the expenses of the present legislature was inserted in the bill. It is recommended that the language above quoted be stricken out of the item this year, and that a sufficient sum be appro- priated in the supply bill to provide for the printing expenses of the present session of the legislature, thus leaving intact the sum of $200,000 for the session of the fiscal year beginning next October 1 st.

The legal title of the holding corporation is Utiea Law Library Association, but the books are for the use of the supreme court in the 5th judicial district. LAW LIBRARY OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE FIFTH JUDI- CIAL DISTRICT, WATERTOWN, N. Y. The appropriation bill should contain an item for $600 for the law library at Watertown, and for $200 for salary of librarian. The library is already of such size that It requires the attention of a librarian, which can be obtained for this reasonable sum, and it cannot be either used or preserved without such care and attention. At all other libraries of this class in the state the librarian has at least $600 salary. SUPREME COURT LIBRARY AT BINGHAMTON. The amount asked for is the amount that has been appropriated for many years last past for the purchase of and binding of hooks. DELAWARE SUPREME COURT LIBRARY. In addition to the regular appropriation of $600 the Delaware supreme court library is asking for a special appropriation of $600. The special appropriation to be expended in the following manner: (1) To add to the library a set of the Federal Reporter, which costs $425 for the complete set. (2) To bring up to date the reports of several states, which are far in arrears, because of lack of funds with which to keep them up. For this $175 is needed. This special appropriation will be deeply appreciated by the law- yers and judges of this sixth judicial district. SUPREME COURT LIBRARY AT ELMIRA. It is required for the reason that it is impossible to run tins library on less than $1,600, and that amount is necessary to maintain it as it should be maintained. It serves not only the bar of Chemung county but also the bar of several adjoining and neigh- boring counties. F0LLETT MEMORIAL SUPREME COURT LIBRARY, SIXTH DIS- TRICT, NORWICH.

The old law library of the county of Westchester containing all the reports of the courts of the State has been placed in the custody of the trustees. The county pays the salary of the librarian, $2,000 per annum and supplies the rooms in the court house, furnishing also, heat and janitor service and pays the librarian of the old county library, who serves as an assistant to the Supreme Court librarian an annual salary of $1,500. The librarian is required to keep proper indices and tables of cases and to run down authorities for the judges. The trustees have procured a change to be made in the court rules by which this library receives the cases and points in all cases argued in the Court of Appeals and in the 1st and 2d Appel- late Divisions. One thousand one hundred and thirty-six volumes of these cases are now on our shelves, which have been bound at a cost of $1,350. The library lias been designated as a Federal depository of the 1st grade, receiving from the Federal government all the publica- tions issued for library purposes. Two trial terms of the Supreme Court are held here continuously except during the months of July. August and September. The great volume of criminal business compels the County Court to sit continuously except during the months of August and September. The library is so situated as to afford easy access to and from the court rooms. We are so located in the 0th district that the judges, in the absence of this library would be compelled to visit the library of the Appellate Division in Brooklyn or the Bar Association library in New York in order to do their work. 44 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY.

STATE REPORTER. The reasons for the increase of salaries in this office as requested are, generally, the increase in cost of living, which has greatly decreased the purchasing power of salaries, as compared with the dates at which they were fixed, and the fact that this has been recognized by an increase in substantially all the salaries of the two other departments connected with the court, such increase during the past 3 years having been made in those departments to the amount of over $10,000 and in which this office had the benefit only of an advance of $60 in the salary of third grade employee. In the meanwhile the work of this office has been in- creased by more than 10 per cent, through the appointment of an additional judge at the beginning of the present year. As to the merits of the increase as to each of the persons affected thereby: The salary of the reporter remains as fixed in 1872, at which time the salary of the reporter and clerk were both fixed at $5,000. A salary which was adequate at that time can scarcely be deemed to be so at present, and especially in view of the very general increase as to the heads of substantially all the departments of the State government from $5,000 to $6,000 and the larger sal- aries provided for where departments have been recently organ- ized. The salary of the deputy was fixed in 1896 and has been unchanged since that time. The deputy has held this position since 1900 and is a lawyer of many years experience. The salary proposed is the usual salary paid deputies in other state departments. The salary of the managing clerk has remained unchanged since 1897 and previous to 1896 was fixed for many years at $1,500. The present incumbent has occupied this position with great credit to the office for more than forty years. The salary of law clerk has been unchanged since 1908, at which time it was increased from $1,800 to $2,000. This increase was granted following a readjustment of the work of the office by which additional duties were assigned to him. The present law clerk has been connected with the office since 1888. The salary of the stenographer has been unchanged since the ap- pointment was first authorized in 1909. The stenographer is a thoroughly competent woman of eight years experience and ranks as to efficiency with stenographers receiving $1,500 in other departments. The salary of page was raised in 1913 from $300 to $360 and no increase is asked. The appropriation for office expenses as to which an increase of $75 as requested is made necessary through increased expenses of care of office, which is not included in rental and which is in excess of original estimate, and for necessary purchases of books for keeping up the library. SUPREME COURT REPORTER. This is an increase in salary of $150. The office is held by Harry Cook, who is admitted to practice law. He keeps all the office accounts and does the bookkeeping, makes the indexes, dictates notices of appeal and verifies all citations in the state library of foreign reports. Mr. Cook has been in the office for five years and during that time has had no increase. I believe this increase should be granted. This is an advance in the salary of Harriet IS. Quintana from $1,800 (she being in the 8th grade at present) to $2,000. Mrs. Quintana has been in this office since it was taken over by the state, Nov. IT) 10, 1905, and at the same salary she is now receiving, $1,800. Before that, she was in the employ of my predecessor, Marcus T. Hun, at the same salary. Mrs. Quintana is a widow with a family to support, and taking into consideration the increased cost of living, she is not receiving as much as she received for her services eight years ago. She is very intelligent, competent and efficient. She has charge of opinions and lists of decisions when they are received, keeping records of all cases, dates when sent to printer and received in proof: forwards galleys to judges for revision, makes corrections in page, arranging the final work, planning and preparing matter for each number of the advance sheets and attending to the finishing of each volume. This is an advance in the salary of Margaret K. Van Nouhuys from $1,200 (she being in the 6th grade) to $1,400. Miss Van Nou- huys has also been in the office since it was taken over by the state, Nov. 10, 1905, and was employed, doing the same work, by my predecessor, Mr. Hun. She is very efficient and an ex- tremely hard and faithful worker. I believe this increase should be granted. Miss Van Nouhuys examines every opinion for errors of any kind, verifies every citation of authority in the opinions with the report, including the verification of all quotations from reports and from the records on appeal. She also prepares the table of cases cited in each volume. Her work is very exacting, requiring the strictest attention to details. This is an increase in the salary of Anna T. Wansboro, who is now in the 6th grade, from $1,000 to $1,200. Miss Wansboro is a stenographer, takes dictation of headnotes and other stenographic work, but in addition to this reads proof and does much other general clerical work in the office. She has been in the office up- wards of five years, is very efficient, careful and painstaking and her work is of a high order. I believe this increase should be granted. Since I took charge of the office, I have lost four competent stenographers, they going to other departments and at increased .salaries. I lost one during the past year, she going to the office of the state treasurer. Miss Wansboro, in addition to being a very competent stenographer, does much other work which could not be done so well by any one else except by long ex- perience. This is the same appropriation as last year and is necessary for the employment of additional help at the times when the "work is very heavy and demands it. NEW YORK STATE COMMISSIONERS ON UNIFORM STATE LAWS. 1 The authority for the appropriation herein asked for will be found in chapter 205 of the laws of 1890 of New York; the last appropriation of $2,500 was made by the legislature of 1913, chapter 792. The legislature about every two years has appropriated the sum of $2,500 for the purposes of the commission on uniform state laws from this state; but in some of the years only 2 of the commissioners attended the sessions of the national conference, whereas, now usually all 3 commissioners are active in the work of the conference, attend its sessions, and perform various duties in connection therewith, thereby increasing their traveling and other disbursements. Hence, the appropriation of $1,500 is asked for at this time. 52 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. REGULATIVE — STATE DEPARTMENT OF EXCISE.

State Department of Excise — contimied. EXPLANATORY NOTES BY DEPARTMENT. Amount asked for $8,000 less than average expenditure during past two years. During past 2 years average expenditure has been approximately $14,000, which was several thousand dollars less than expenditures each year for some time previous. Need of slight increase this year made necessary by renewal of card index record of certifi- cates issued throughout the entire state, and anticipated change of location of department offices in capitol building. 10 Xo appropriation last year. Balance on hand insufficient. 1 1 Investigation of alleged uncertificated traffic has necessitated ex- penditure of approximately $40,000 each year during 1911-1912 and 1912-1913 and great demand is made on department in this class of work. 13 Practically no funds in hand for paying judgments. 2.3, 26, 27, 28 These items in some instances cover salaries of employees who dur- ing present year must be paid from " Temporary Service " fund owing to items being stricken out of appropriation bill and in other respects corrects errors contained in last year's appropria- tion. 33 During past year services of several employees in New York office were discontinued and of the number of employees remaining, 1 was of the 8th grade. Item for his salary was stricken out in appropriation bill so that employee is now being paid from "temporary service" fund. The item for salary of this employee is here considered together with salary for 1 more eighth grade employee whose service is needed — it being found that reduction made in office force was greater than it should have been. To offset apparent increase in number of employees, 1 ninth grade employee is dropped in Buffalo office force. 36 Department offices were moved during past year and period of lease does not correspond with fiscal year. In order that rental may be paid up at close of fiscal year, a slight increase in amount of appropriation over annual rental is here asked for. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. cient to pay all salaries in this division, and the aforesaid sur- plus on hand will cover expenses. 7 LEGAL EXPENSES. Amount too large to be in one item. Should be divided into smaller units. 8 OFFICE EXPENSES. Total expenditures in year ending September 30, 1913, were $15,- 601.35. The amount available at beginning of present fiscal year was $22,664.49. Therefore, there should be a balance to carry over at the end of this fiscal year of $7,000. The item should be divided into smaller parts. 9 ENUMERATION. Amount expended in last fiscal year was $1,520.44. There was $2,991.84 on hand at the beginning of the present fiscal year, which is sufficient for two years. No appropriation is necessary. 10 EXAMINATION. Xo appropriation for this purpose last year, and it should be omitted again. Work can be done by regular inspectors. 11 SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS'. This appropriation has grown from $10,000 in 1910 to $100,000 in 1913 and the annual expenditure from $4,000 to $40,000. The following table shows the progress: 1910 Appropriation $10,000 00 Expended during fiscal year 3,843 04 Balance carried to next year $6, 156 96 1911 Appropriation 40, 000 00 Total available $46, 156 96 Expended during fiscal year 6, 243 10 Balance carried to next year $39,913 86 1912 Appropriation 20,000 00 Total available $59, 913 86 Expended during fiscal year 38. 647 29 Balance carried to next vear $21. 266 57 1913 Appropriation $100,000 00 Total available $121, 266 57 Expended during fiscal year 42, 823 24 Balance available Oct. 1, 1913 $78,443 33 There is sufficient unexpended balance to provide for the necessities of nineteen years at the ratio of 1910, and even at the present rate of expenditure there is enough for two years. It is recom- mended that no appropriation be made for this purpose. TEMPORARY SERVICES. The language of item providing for special investigations is suffi- ciently elastic to permit payment of temporary employees and appropriation is large enough. 26, 27, 28 SALARIES.

The following shows the increases in items desired as compared with the appropriations made for the present fiscal year, and reasons therefor : SALARY OF DIRECTOR OF DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATION, $4,000. Chapter 559 of the laws of 1913, amending the Public Health Law generally, provides that there shall be 9 divisions of the state depart- ment of health, and that each division shall be under the supervision of a director. Provision was made in the regular appropriation bill for the fiscal year 1913—14 for the salaries of the directors of the divisions excepting that noted above. TRAVELING EXPENSES — INCREASE OF $2,500. With an appropriation of $7,500 for the fiscal year ending Sep- tember 30, 1913, we had a deficiency of $1,654.92, making the total necessary expenses incurred during the year $9,154.92. In order to not incur further indebtedness it was necessary to suspend the COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. HEALTH. 4 DIRECTOR OF DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATION. Tt is recommended that position be created. 12 TRAVELING EXPENSES. It is recommended that $10,000 be appropriated. 64 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. State Department of Health — continued. EXPLANATORY NOTES BY DEPARTMENT, regular monthly collection of samples of municipal water supplies for analysis on the 1st of August. It will therefore be readily seen that the $10,000 appropriated for the present fiscal year will hardly meet the actual and necessary expenses to be incurred during the year in carrying on the same amount of work executed last year. 15 POSTAGE AND TRANSPORTATION — INCREASE OF $2,000. The end of the last fiscal year found us with a deficit of $809.20, and had we not discontinued the systematic collection of samples from the various municipal water supplies as noted above, our deficit would have been much larger. The department is required to furnish local health officers and registrars of vital statistics the necessary supplies to properly carry out the provisions of the public health laws. Recent amendments to the laws require the depart- ment to furnish additional supplies. 18 SALARY OF ASSISTANT SANITARY ENGINEER — INCREASE OF $500. This is desired as a merited recognition of the faithful and efficient services rendered the department by an employee who has been with the department several vears. 20 INSPECTING ENGINEER, SALARY $1,500 — INCREASE OF $1,500. This item is to provide for the permanent employment of a com- petent engineer who has been in the employ of the department dur- ing the past three years, and whose salary has been paid out of moneys appropriated for investigations. 30 SIXTH GRADE, 1 EMPLOYEE (NEW) — INCREASE OF $1,200. This is to provide one of the new divisions created by recent amendments to the Public Health Law with a competent stenog- rapher and clerk. 38 SIXTH GRADE, 1 EMPLOYEE I NEW I Required for same reason as above. -INCREASE OF $1,200. 40 INCREASE FOR LABORATORIES, $6,000. Although the work of the laboratories was greatly curtailed dur- ing the last two months of the past fiscal year, we were obliged to incur a deficit of $1,049.02 in carrying on the actual work neces- sarily required. The $6,000 increase requested is needed to enable us to go through the next fiscal year without depreciating the efficiency of the laboratory service. Part of this money is desired to make needed improvements in the buildings located on the farm recently purchased to provide suitable place for the horses and other animals used in the preparation and testing of antitoxins, etc. Total increases, $18,900. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY" AND ECONOMY. 13 INVESTIGATIONS, ETC. 'Hie actual expenditures during last fiscal year were $9,551.26, which included salary of inspecting engineer, now put in per- manent staff at $1,800. There was available at the beginning of the current fiscal year $20,017.36. An appropriation of $12,000 will be more than enough. 15 POSTAGE AND TRANSPORTATION. The actual expenditures for the last fiscal year were $5,903.81. An appropriation of $8,000 is recommended. ' 34 SUPPRESSING EPIDEMICS. An appropriation of $115,000 has been made for several years with- out itemizing. This Department has divided this appropriation into six subdivisions and by such analysis has decreased the amount $15,000. We recommend that an appropriation of $100,000 is sufficient. 36 SIXTH GRADE, ONE STENOGRAPHER, NEW POSITION. It appears unnecessary to provide an item for this purpose. Stenog- rapher can be detailed from the regular staff when necessary. 37, 38 DIVISION OF PUBLICITY AND EDUCATION. This division appears more ornamental than useful. The proposed salary of the director, $4,000, and that of the stenographer, $1,200, can well be saved. 39 DIVISION OF COLD STORAGE INSPECTION. An appropriation of $20,000 is requested in lump sum. The actual expenditures during the last fiscal year for this division were $26,879.46. Of this amount $7,959 was traveling expenses. The amount available at the beginning of the current fiscal year, which included unexpended balances from former appropriations, is $39,084.88. It might, therefore, be expected that after the expenses of the current year -be paid there will be a surplus of approximately 910,000, to be carried forward into the next fiscal year, which will be sufficient to provide for the traveling and office, expenses. Instead of a lump sum appropriation it is recom- mended that the item be subdivided as indicated in this bill. 40 DIVISION OF LABORATORIES. 1 lie request as filed provides for a lump sum appropriation of $45,000 to pay for the maintenance of the antitoxin and hygienic labora- tories'. It is recommended that this lump sum be subdivided into small items as indicated in this bill. This is the first time this itemized form has ever been presented.

At a meeting of the board of trustees of the state institute for the study of malignant disease on November 1, 1913, it was decided that the annual appropriation for the coming year should be in- creased to $65,000, to include the maintenance of the suburban ex- periment station and animal farm at Springville, N. Y. By the acquisition of this property of 32 acres much needed parts of the work of the institute can be accommodated. Very important breed- ing experiments with animals, fish and fowl may now be accommo- dated, to determine the relation of heredity to cancer and allied diseases. A continuation of the study of cancer in fish, which has been precluded by the cost of city water at the institute in Buffalo, will now be rendered possible by the adequate water supply on this property. The trustees point out that the property is a gift to the institute by ten public spirited citizens of Buffalo, who pur- chased the property and have deeded it to the trustees, under the provision of chapter 91, laws of 1913, for the uses of the institute. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. The institution requested an appropriation of $65,000 in a lump sum. A detailed analysis of this sum was secured and the recom- mendation of this department is tliat the appropriation be made in segregated items, as indicated in the bill shown above.

Same reason as given in regard to No. 7. 25 Increase of $5,000. This is to provide for an increase in the salaries of 2 men now in the 9th grade, from $2,000 each to $2,500 each per annum, namely: 2 men who are rendering unusually efficient services as mediators in the bureau of mediation and arbitration. 26 No change. This item should not be reduced irrespective of the transfers contemplated in item No. 25. It is desired to provide for a slight expansion in the division of industrial hygiene. 27 Increase of $1,800. Is intended to enable the commissioner of labor to reward long and meritorious service through the promotion of one who has earned it. by competitive promotion examination. 30 Increase of $900. To provide for an additional stenographer and clerk to serve at a branch office to be established at Syracuse. 34 Increase of $360. To provide for the employment of an additional page — a necessity — when the department is privileged to enjoy new and ample quarters. 37 A reduction of $5,000 from the corresponding item in the appro- priation bill. This reduction is only apparent; it is reinserted under " Industrial Board." 39 Increase of $1,500. This is absolutely necessary in order to provide additional office room in Buffalo and Rochester and to provide an office in Syracuse. 40 A reduction of $1,000. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. 37 TRAVELING EXPENSES. During the fiscal year which ended September 30, 1913, travel- ing expenses for 142 employees were paid out of this fund. The average amount to each person was $417.56. During the past year, the department has been greatly enlarged and a sufficient amount must be appropriated to pay the travel- ing expenses of 235 employees, during the next fiscal year. The estimated amount requested by the department is an aver- age of $412.76. for each employee, a less per capita than annually expended last year. It does not seem feasible to divide the item and the amount requested is recommended for appropriation. 38 PRINTING AND BULLETINS. The appropriation for this item in 1910 was $7,500: in 1911, $9,500: in 1912. $15,850. The expenditures were kept within the appropriations during these years. At the beginning of the last fiscal year, October 1, 1912, there was available for expenditure $15,995.52. During the succeeding twelve months, an indebtedness was incurred to the amount of $22,263.53 or $6,268.01 in excess of the appropriation. This de- ficiency was supplied by the legislature through the means of an item in the supplv hill and one in the deficiency bill, aggregating $6,600, leaving a 'balance of $331.99 to be carried forward to tin- current year after all indebtedness was paid. The expenses for printing had increased from $6,886 in 1910, to $22,263 in 1912. The department has on hand for printing of the current fiscal year $26,331.99. It is to be expected that this amount will be entirely consumed, because it is a rule that expenses grow as fast as the legislature will make appropriations, and few unex- pended balances are returned to the treasury. It is the opinion of this department that this theory of educa- tion by bulletin is being overworked. The reports made by the bureau of labor during all the years that it has been in existence have been unusually voluminous, and have covered the necessi- ties fully, and it is l)elieved that the sum of $15,000 will supply all of the printing that is required for the education of the people into the virtues of the new labor law. :;d OFFICE RENT. During the fiscal year which ended September 30, 1913. there was expended for office rent, in New York city, Buffalo, and Rochester, the sum of $12,505.87, in addition to which payment was made for lighting. The increased amount requested appear! to be necessarv. 40 OFFICE EXPENSES. The appropriation for this item in 1910 was $13,500 ami in 1911. $21,000. which amounts were expended and no balances were carried. Out of this the rent of the branch office was paid, so that the other incidental office expenses were $8,500. The amount available for use for the fiscal year which began October 1, 1912, and ended September 30, 1913, was as follows: Appropriated by the legislature of 1912 in the appropriation bill $25,200 00 Appropriated by the legislature of 1913, in the supply bill . '. 6,500 00 Total available for the fiscal vear. $31,700 00 The total expended during the fiscal year from this fund, in- cluding rentals, was $33,782.20. Accordingly there was a deficit at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $3,284.65, which was appropriated at the special session of the 1913 legislature. The department began the current fiscal year. October 1. 1913, with all indebtedness paid and an appropriation for office expenses of $23,000 for an additional amount of $15,000 for office rental, for which a separate appropriation was made for the first time. Deducting office rentals from the total expenditures of last year, shows an actual expenditure of approximately $20,000. which probably included some unpaid bills carried over from preceding years. It is universally true that wherever large lump sum appropria- tions have been made, there has been uncurbed increases in ex- penditures. It is recommended that this office expense fund be subdivided into at least four parts as indicated in tabular part of this report, and that the total appropriations for all office expenses, including rent, be $17,400.

The commission will exhaust its present appropriation for traveling expenses during the present appropriation year. It must be contemplated that traveling expenses will increase next year by the increased work of the commission making investiga- tions required by law. 45 CONTINGENT FUND. It is important that the commission should have a fairly liberal lump sum appropriated for unforseen contingencies which are liable to arise a year hence. It is submitted that a lump sum of $15,000 for such contingencies is extremely conservative. It is further submitted that if promotions could be made by the com- mission from the lump sum, by adding to the existing salary as merit may be found to require, or as necessity shall arise from impossibility to fill vacancies for help at stated salary, the lump sum could be reduced to $10,000. This would enable the com- mission to avoid taking the whole salary from the lump sum, and so leave the entire salary fixed by appropriation unused. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. 42 TRAVELING EXPENSES. The sum of $38,000 was appropriated in 1912 and the commis- sion reports having expended $39,429.24 during the fiscal year which ended September 30, 1913. The sum of $35,000 was appro- priated by the legislature of 1913. The commission is compelled to limit its expenditures within the appropriation provided and we recommend an appropriation of $35,000. 43 OFFICE EXPENSES. The sum of $35,000 is requested for this purpose, which is the same amount as appropriated last year. A schedule of the ex- penditures under this item lias been secured and it has been subdivided in this report into five portions, each carrying slightly more than the actual expenditures last year. By this analysis, it is possible to reduce the appropriation in the amount of $5,000. 45 CONTINGENT. An appropriation of $15,000 is requested, as compared with an appropriation of $7,500 made last year. Out of the amount appropriated last year, the department paid $3,940 as salaries to employees who have now been transferred to the regular staff and whose salaries are provided in the schedule presented. The use of the contingent fund for the purpose of increasing the regu- lar staff is contrary to the intention of that fund. It has been provided as a means of permitting the employment of special ex- perts as occasion required and has accordingly been misused. Inasmuch as it has been demonstrated by the commission that the fund is unnecessary for the employment of experts, but has been merely a convenient means for increasing the permanent staff, it is recommended that the appropriation be reduced to $2,500.

We recommend that the sum of $14,0.30 be allowed this year, a decrease over 1912 of $16,150." During the past few years there has been built up, by estab- lishing representatives in every county in the state, a machine which is headed by the state superintendent of wights and meas- uses. Some benefits may have accrued, but the expense has out- weighed the benefit. This department should he merged into the Department of Efficiency and Economy. Pending that course only the minimum amount of appropriation should be made. It is recommended that the same amount as provided last year be provided by the present legislature.

There is considerable electrical installation at the boarding station and on the islands, and the substitution of a modern illuminating system for the present gasoline, vapor illumi- nation will result in considerable additional installation of this kind. 22 There is a vacancy now in the position of chief bacteriologist in the department, due to the recent death of Dr. E. C. Baldwin, who had the advantage of gaining a very considerable knowledge of the quarantinable diseases and particularly cholera, during his long experience in the department. It will be necessary, with the new laboratory and the increased opportunity of performing sci- entific work of great value, to obtain in Dr. Baldwin's place a bacteriologist of the first rank. 23, 25 The construction of the new laboratory and the increased duty of the bacteriological staff consequent thereupon make it advisable to create a position of first assistant with an annual salary of $2,500, third assistant with an annual compensation of $1,500 and two stenographers. 29, 30, 31 An additional laboratory assistant should be employed at a salary of $720 per annum, and the new building should have a janitor, because of the fact that dangerous chemicals and bacteria are constantly kept therein. 37, 38 Provide for the transfer from the general expense payroll to the regular payroll of persons now employed in the department. 42 This item provides for an increase of $200 per annum in the com- pensation of the superintendents of nurses emploved on the two islands of the department. Their service in the department jus- tifies the promotion. 45, 47, 49, 50, 62, 63. 64 and 65 provide for transfers of em- ployees now paid out of contingent fund to regular payroll and for certain readjustment of wages. 66 This item provides for six new positions. At present the work done bv orderlies on both islands must be entrusted to laborers, ward helpers and other employees, who are necessarily not familiar with wardroom work. 67 This item provides for the appointment of three motor enginemen. The motor boats of the department have suffered very greatlv in their mechanical parts, by reason of the fact that thev have been operated by different persons when it was impossible for the engineers to leave their stations for the best service. GENERAL NOTE. Attention is called to the fact that the sum of the amounts requested in the appropriation and supplv bills, which comprise the maintenance cost of the department, is $290,480, whereas the appropriations made bv the last legislature in these two bills amounted to $297,679.92. The modification of salaries provided for in the appropriation bill, whereby it is hoped to provide an incentive for the continuance in the department of capable and experienced employees, has been correlated to possible economics in other directions, with the result that the total amount re- quested for maintenance this year is less by $7,199.92 than the amount actually appropriated last year. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. The schedule submitted by this officer includes a large number of new positions and inserts in the list of regular employees, many who were formedly paid out of contingent fund and general expenses. There are three large items included in the annual appropriation for several years past. In 1913, these were: For food $37,400 For general expenses 34 500 For contingent expenses 50 000 Total $121,900 It appears that these three funds have been used practically as one. Reference to reports of the comptroller for several year's past, indicate that the food supplies as well as labor have been paid out of the contingent fund in some years, and almost an un- touched appropriation for food carried into the next year. A calculation of the amount consumed out of these three items indicate an average cost of approximately $85,000 per year, in- cluding, last year, payments to laborers and other employees of more than $7,000. It appears certain, therefore, that $80,000 for legitimate expenses, exclusive of employees, is ample for the maintenance of this department for one year. Calculated upon this amount for the current fiscal year, there will be a balance available on October 1st, 1914, of $30,000 and an appropriation is recommended of $50,000 to make up the amount necessary for maintenance for the fiscal year beginning October 1st. To accomplish this, employees at present in ser- vice, whose salaries and wages aggregate $7,620, have been in-, eluded in the authorized list of employees. The contingent fund of this department requires special noJ tice. It is authorized by section 144 of the public health law,; in the following language: " There may be annually appropriated for the health officer a contingent fund which, notwithstanding any other pro-] vision of law, may be paid to him by the treasurer on the warrant of the comptroller. Such fund may be used bv him to pay current expenses of his office for Which an imme- diate payment in cash is required, but he shall render to th« state comptroller on or before the fifth day of each month a sworn itemized statement of all such expenditures from such fund during the preceding calendar month. The health officer shall keep an account of all moneys received or dis-| bursed by him under this section." The reason stated annually by the health officer of the |K>rt of New York in his request to the legislature for appropriations, is similar to the languasre employed by that officer in his request this year, which is as follows: "Such a fund is necessary because of the impossibility of a foreknowledge of the charges which may be imposed on the department at any time by reason of a visitation of one ofi the quarantinable diseases. All quarantine authorities are apprehensive of possible developments from the cholera situa- tion in the far east, where the sanitary conditions resultant upon the Balkan war have again brought cholera into Europe. Facing this danger on one hand, we shall soon l>e exposed to another when the opening of the Panama canal shall brinjr us into direct maritime communication with the far east and with the plague infected western coast of SoutJ* America." For several successive years, the legislature has provided a contingent fund, but a consultation of our records proves that it has been expended each year in the ordinary work of the depart- ment, and was not required for any emergency epidemic. It is recommended that no appropriation be made in the gen- eral terms heretofore employed, and that only such amount lie allowed as is required for the proper maintenance of the quaran- tine office. The total appropriation for this department in 1913 was $297,679.52. The amount turned into the treasurer as a result of fees collected from steamship companies for fumigation and inspections, and for the payment of passengers detained at quarantine, was $145,685.27. The total appropriation recom- mended by this department for the fiscal year beginning October 1st, 1914, is $236,350, which takes into account a probable un- expended balance available for the next fiscal year of $30,000.

The completed unification, under the supervision of the state, of the state's system of public education, makes it proper and desirable that the disbursements of appropriations therefor should be made by their chief executive officer, under the direction and rules of the board of regents of the university. And, making, as proposed, balances of appropriations, other than those for salaries, remaining unexpended at the end of a fiscal year, available for like use in the succeeding year, will tend, rather than otherwise, to induce economical current use of appropriated funds, causing, often, efforts to be made to save over from one year something to help meet anticipated extra needs in the next year, and thus relieve from the necessity of seeking special aid in the supply bill. It will also lessen the temptation to spend money needlessly, in order to prevent any unused balance from lapsing. The election of an eminent college president as commissioner of education, to be thereby the chief executive officer of the university of the state, in the exercise of its functions as the state department of education under the completion of educational unification, has made it appropriate and desirable to give him the official scholastic title of president of the university and such office lias been created and its incumbent especially charged with the duty of educational research in aid of the betterment of the state's educational system. The two offices of president of the university and commissioner of education will, however, be practically one and be held by the same person, and but one combined salary is now requested for such combined offices, and of the same amount heretofore paid to the commissioner of education. But, as explained in connec- tion therewith, an additional appropriation is requested for traveling and other expenses. Provides for an increase of $300 in the salary of the confidential stenographer to the president of the university. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. The argument bv the appropriation officer of the department of education is so ineenious and eloquent that it presents its own reason for being published in full in this report. The appropriation of large unitemized sums which overlap succeeding fiscal years have not promoted economical expendi- tures in other departments and it is interesting to read that it operates in a manner diametrically opposite in the educational department. Despite the optimism of the writer of the educational request it is recommended that the various sums be as closely itemized by the legislature as is practicable. 88 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY.

But it is expected and desirable that President Finley will freely visit the educational institutions of the state, and be present at educational gatherings, both in and out of the state, and make special jour- neyings as its educational representative and in search of infor- mation that may guide in the improvement of our educational system; and it is proper that he should do so at public expense and in a manner and with such accompanying by members of his personal or official family as he may wish to have with him for his satisfaction, comfort and assistance, and to enable him worthily and becomingly to represent this great state. The fund suggested therefor is not excessive for its purpose, and the extent and manner of its use may properly rest in the discretion of the president of the university. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. Tt will be a very slight inconvenience to the president of the university and commissioner of education to observe the general provisions contemplated by the comptroller in regard to itemized expense accounts and it is, therefore, recommended that the lan- guage of this item be changed so as to eliminate unofficial travelers and provide for itemized accounts.

Provide! for 3 employees at $1,500 each. Two of these employees have served the educational extension division for years and have rendered very eftieient service. The item amounting to $3,000 which provided for their salaries was vetoed last vear through a misunderstanding. We are requesting that funds 'he made avail- able for their reinstatement and that an additional employee at $1,500 he provided. ' Provides for an increase of $10,000 in the grants to he made to public libraries. This increase makes the amount the same as that allowed in the appropriation bill of 1012. It is merely sufficient to provide $100 to each free library for the purposes' mentioned in sections 52. 1131, 1132 and 1133 of the education law. The item is only a restoration of the regular appropriation formerly available. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. 102 It is recommended that appropriation be made for two library organizers and that request for additional employee be denied. GRANTS TO PUBLIC LIBRARIES. The appropriation of public money for free libraries last year was $25,000. The appropriation in 1012 was $35,000. Out of this fund a sum of money equal to that which is raised by local communities is distributed among local libraries for the purchase of books. Last year 370 libraries in 57 counties received donations. In 1012. 504 libraries shared in the distribution. The department is very earnest in its advocacy for an appropriation for this pur- pose, but it is utterly impossible to provide a sufficient amount of state funds without direct taxation to put into effect all of the educational projects which may be suggested. Complaint is made in another portion about the encroachment upon the school fund. The library fund could be diverted to the common school fund without any serious loss to anybody. It is recommended that not more than $25,000 be appropriated for this purpose. 98 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. Education Department — continued.

This item was placed last year in the supply bill, although it had been a regular item in the appropriation bill before that time. 122 Provides for the necessary services of the various employees, such as elevatormen, orderlies, porters, cleaners and others in the care and maintenance of the education building. The appropriation which is requested is the same in amount as that requested in the budget of this department last year. The opening of the state museum will make increased demands upon this time. It is a conservative estimate of the amount necessary for the pur- pose mentioned. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. 120 EXPENSE OF MUSEUM. The customary appropriation for the expense of the museum has been $10,000. A contingent fund for temporary services is sup- plied the department and any additional employees necessary for the arrangement of the state museum in its new quarters may be paid from that fund. TEMPORARY SERVICES. The customary appropriation for temporary services has been $18,000. It is recommended that this amount be appropriated this vear. CARE AND CLEANING OF BUILDING. The cleaning force of the education building at present consists of eight porters and .10 cleaners, and the wages and supplies for the fiscal year which ended September 30, 1913, amounted to $46,440. The state museum, which comprises the entire upper floor, is to be opened very soon and the additional sum of $15,000 requested will be required. 121 122 100 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY.

Provides for an increase of $5,000 in the appropriation for post- age and transportation. The additional amount will merely cover the normal increase in the routine activities of the various divi- sions of the university. Provides for an increase of $25,000 in the appropriation made for the same purpose in the bill of last year. As the amount ap- propriated and available for the present fiscal year is entirely in- adequate it is necessary that this item be restored to the amount available two years ago. Much of our work which is quite vital in carrying on the varied activities of the university will be vastly curtailed by any reduction in the printing item. It is scarcely possible to continue the work of the university in all its phases, in the issuance of circulars, registers, syllabuses and other material of a similar character, unless the appropriation is restored to the amount in the appropriation bill of 1012. In this connection it may not be amiss to remark that the uni- versity printing and other outlays are not wholly bad business: last year our receipts from the sale of our publications and from fees for university services were over $15,000, which amount has all been deposited in the state treasury and might reasonably be regarded as being reappropriated in the allowance here requested. Provides for an increase of $10,000. We expended during the last fiscal year for traveling by the various divisions $24,140.33. Every effort is being made to curtail these expenditures. The present appropriation bill carries $15,000 for this purpose. We have requested an item of $8,000 to make up the deficiency for the present year. The item as requested. $25,000, will merely be sufficient for necessary expenditures of this character. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. 123 POSTAGE AND TRANSPORTATION. The amount appropriated by the legislature for the fiscal year be> ginning October 1, 1012, and ending September 30, 1913, wai $25,000. The finance law forbids any state official to contract expenses in excess of appropriation made by the legislature, but such slight impediment as law does not seem to daunt the offi- cials of the department of education because the appropriation for this item was exceeded in the sum of $8,500, and a deficiency appropriation for the sum of $0,000 was secured from the special session of the legislature. It is recommended that the sum of $25,000 l>e appropriated as sufficient and that no further d* ficiency appropriations be made. 124 PRINTING. The department of education requests an appropriation of $45,000 for printing, which is the sum provided by the legislature of 1012. The legislature of 1913 reduced this appropriation to the sum of $20,000, which is all that is available for the present fiscal year. The investigation by the committee of inquiry in j 1913 disclosed that an extravagant amount of printing was being produced and circulated by the education department. The total sum expended in the fiscal year which closed September 1913. amounted to $37,039.27. ' There being but $20,000 available for tin- current fiscal year, a habit of economy may be inculcated to some degree, and it is recommended that a similar appropria tion of $20,000 be provided for the next fiscal year. , BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. • • • • J 3 _ 4 Education Department — continued. 101 Appropriation Requests as Filed by Department in Customary Unitemized Form. schools, normal schools, col- leges, universities, libraries and other institutions under the supervision of the univer- sity, and by the state exam- inations board and of lec- tures in the library school. 25,000 00 Furniture, Repairs, Supplies. 26 For office furniture, fixtures, repairs, supplies and all other necessary incidental expenses. 20,000 00 Special Institutes and Uni- versity Convocation.

The increase is merely sufficient to cover the normal increase in routine expend itures. 127 Provides the same amount for the purpose mentioned, namely. special institutes and university convocation, as was provided for in the appropriation bill of 1912. As no convocation was held last year the item was omitted from the appropriation bill. 128 The amount requested for this purpose will merely provide for the payment of $100 to each holder of a state scholarship during the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1014. The number of these scholarships and the amount to be paid are fixed by the statute referred to in the item. 129 The item requested represents a conservative estimate of the amount necessary to enforce the provisions of the statute referred to in the item. comment by department of efficiency and economy. 120 office furniture and supplies. In urging an appropriation of $20,000, as compared with one of $15,000 last year, the department states that " the increase is merely sufficient to cover an increase in routine expenditures." The department occupies a new building, has new furniture and equipment and it is somewhat difficult to conceive that an increasing amount must be furnished each year to further equip an already equipped institution. It is recommended that the appropriation be cut to $15,000. 127 SPECIAL INSTITUTE. Sufficient funds have been provided in the general traveling ex- pense item to convey any official speaker to a convention, if their attendance is necessary. It is recommended that this appropriation be omitted. 128 STATE SCHOLARSHIP. The sum of $150,000 is mandatory. This was a law manoeuvered through the legislature of 1913 which inflicted an ultimate cost of $300,000 a year upon the people of the state, to provide a pension to a certain few who may desire to go to college. The benefits are not distributed among even a reasonable proportion of the population and the law should be repealed. 129 STATE MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS.

It is recommended that the sum requested be appropriated. SALARIES OF SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS. The legislature of 1013 added a pension for superannuated teachersl to the statutes. Chapter 631 provides that any person who shall have heretofore or shall hereafter be employed for a period of ten years by the state of Xew York, as an instructor in any col- lege, school, institute, or other educational institution, main- j tained and supported by the state, who shall have been employed for the term of thirty years, and who shall have attained the age of seventy years, if a man, and sixty years, if a woman, shall be entitled, upon application to the commissioner of education, to] appointment as a substitute in the position in which such person shall have last held in the service of the state which position as substitute such person shall thereafter hold for the term of his or her life and shall receive as compensation not more than $1,000 or less than $300 per annum. This law will impose a burden of an amount not calculable at present upon the state. Every teacher in normal schools, agri- culture schools and the teachers in the various state institutions will in time be eligible for this pension and it is but a step to pro- vide pensions for all other state employees. Although the law has been on the statute books but a few months applications have already been filed by eleven superannu- ated teachers and the appropriation requested is designed to cover the compensation of two of these at $1,000 per year; three at $500; one at $425; one at $375, and two at $300. The ages of the beeficiaries range from 61 years to 80 years. In view of the enactment by the legislature of 1913 it is recommended that the appropriation of $6,000 be made and it is also recommended that the law be repealed.

Not more than 115 training classes shall be established by the president of the university in any 1 year.

The balance 10.000 00 Training of Teachers. For payment to academies and union schools desig- nated by the president of the university for the professional training of teachers, and for the pro- fessional training of teachers in cities of the state, pursuant to section five hundred and two of chapter one hundred and forty, laws of nine- teen hundred and ten, being the education law, one hundred thousand dollars.

These conferences will result in much more satisfactory work on the part of the teachers and may be maintained for a much less appropriation than was for- merly necessary for maintaining teachers' institutes. During the past year the services of the three lecturers at farmers' insti- tutes were utilized in giving assistance to district superintend- ents at such conferences. The position of lecturer at farmers' institutes was discontinued October 1 last as no appropriation was made therefor. 136 Provides for an increase of $25,000 over the appropriation for this purpose in the bill of 1913. The item, however, is merely a restoration, as the appropriation bill has carried this item at $125,- 000 for some years. The amount requested is essential if the apportionment for the professional training of teachers in acad- emies, union schools and cities, is to be made pursuant to law. RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE DEPARTMENT. 135 TEACHERS' CONFERENCES. An appropriation of $10,000 is requested for the salaries of lecturers and instructors *' whereby assistance may be given to district superintendents." The difficulty experienced by the department of efficiency and economy in fulfilling the direction of the legisla- ture in procuring information regarding the cost of text books, in which tin' co-operation of the district superintendents was sought, is very convincing evidence that the officers are sadly in need of instructions and assistance, but in view of the tremendous finan- cial burden imposed u|>on the people of the state by the depart- ment of education it is unwise to create any new bureaus, and it is recommended that this appropriation be not allowed. 13(i TRAINING OF TEACHERS. An appropriation of $125,000 is requested for payment to acad- emies and union schools for the ostensible training of teachers. The legislature of 1913 appropriated $100,000 for this purpose. The legislature of 1912, however, had appropriated $125,000, and that sum of money was distributed proportionately during the fiscal year which ended September 30, 1913. During that fiscal year 100 high schools and academies throughout the state re- ceived $700 each, a total of $70,000, and the remainder of the fund, amounting to $55,000, was distributed to high schools in 12 cities, Xew York city receiving $45,688 of the amount. An appropriation of $10,000, similar to that of last year, will merely result in the proportion being slightly reduced, and in view of the tremendous financial burden being imposed upon the people of the state by the department of education, it is recommended that all items of appropriation lie curtailed. 104 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY.

An increased amount is requested everv year, so regularly that it has all the appearance of a habit. In view of the tremendous financial burden being imposed upon the people of the state by the department of education, it is recommended that an appropriation similar to that of 1913. aggregating, for all schools. $525,000. be appropriated this year. 14S An additional appropriation of $25,000 for the maintenance of nor- mal schools generally is requested, which would be an increase of $10,000.

This item shows an increase of $100,000 over the amount appropriated last year. This increase is automatic, and must be provided in order that the apportion- ment to the schools may be made as required by statute. It includes supervision, district and teachers' quotas, and appor- tionments to general industrial and trade schools and schools of agriculture, mechanic arts and homemaking, as provided by articles eighteen and twenty-two of the education law. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. SUPPORT OF COMMON SCHOOLS. An appropriation of $5,3.'50,000 is requested, which is $100,000 more than provided by the legislature of 1913. The statement by the department of education in support of this increase is that " the increase is automatic and must be provided." No money can be distributed to the schools which is not appropriated by the legis- lature, and consequently the increase can not be automatic. Such fund a« is provided by the legislature is to be distributed propor- tionately. The method of distribution should be radically revised. The tremendous burden of expense imposed upon the state by the department of education by its inducing successive legislatures to create new offices tends to deprive the common schools of the at- tention which should be given. There being no compulsory appro- priation required for any feature, it is recommended the same amount as provided in 1913 be appropriated. BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY.

This requested appropriation restores the apportionments to aca- demic schools to the former basis of three cents per day for each pupil in attendance, and will be simply an act of justice — a reparation, in a sense, of what has come to be a marked injustice. The long established wise policy of aiding and encouraging aca- demic as well as elementary education can need no defending. Upon the schools of both classes largely depends good citizenship. For- merly, in addition to its liberal appropriations for elementary education, the state in long-maintained practice aided academic schools by apportionments equal to about three cents per day for each of their pupils. That gave to them, on an average, about $4.50 a year for each pupil. Such aiding was salutary; it encour- aged and helped them to become letter schools, and it stimulated efforts to keep their pupils continuously in school. Later, to help students who reside in districts which have no academic schools, the state adopted the also wise and generous policy of paying $20 per year for their tuition, when attending such schools in other districts. But instead of making specific additional appropriations suffi- cient to pay for such tuition (of what are commonly called " for- eign scholars"), the cost thereof has been mainly charged upon the general academic appropriations, with the unhappy result that, as the number of such scholars increased and such schools multiplied, the money left to pay the intended allowance for attendance of general academic pupils has gradually become altogether insuffi- cient, until now the schools are receiving therefor even less than one per cent per day. The time has come to recognize such a discouraging situation. which it is not believed it can have been really intended should be created. The unwisdom of giving to such schools such inadequate aid as they are at present receiving must be very apparent, and the regents now ask to have the academic appropriations separated for eacli purpose, and that the allotment for attendance money be made sufficient each year to give to the academic schools their old-time allowance of, at least, three cents per day for each of their pupils. This item is made necessary by an act of the last legislature pro- viding for the establishment of temporary or camp schools. If the statute is to be made effectivs it will require an appropria- tion for this purpose. The amount requested is a conservative estimate to provide for such need. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. CITIES, ACADEMIES, ACADEMIC DEPARTMENTS AND SCHOOL LIBRARIES. 152-155 Appropriation requested this year amounts to $1,200,000 as com- pared with the appropriation of $600,000 as made by the legis- lature of 1913. It is interesting to read the explanation printed in the first column on this page. It exposes the competition between the various divisions in the education department which has resulted in building up the tremendous appropriations, aggregating now $7,000,000, and it is a further illustration of the calm unconcern with which an additional appropriation of more than half a million is proposed. The officials of the department are not at all unanimous in agreement regarding the advisability of these ap- propriations, and the sum of $600,000 provided in 1913 is ample for all necessary purposes, and it is recommended that no more be appropriated this year. 156 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS. The appropriation of $248,400 is mandatory for the salaries of district superintendents and $62,000 for expenses is mandatory by the education law which provides that there shall be 207 super- intendents at a salary of $1,200 each and also provides a regular amount of expenses. The last legislature imposed upon the department of efficiency and economy a burden of collecting statistics regarding the cost of school books. It was found by the department that the elabo- rate machinery of school superintendents was almost helpless to produce its simple statistics as to the number and character of school books in use within every district and it has been utterly impossible to secure even responses from a considerable portion of teachers who are supposed to be supervised by these superin- tendents. It is difficult to understand what benefit the state secures from this enormous expenditure of public funds further than to estab- lish a very elaborate machine whose only purpose it is to impose upon the state projects of doubtful benefit. 108 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OP EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY.

The fund is not large and can be used only under the directions of the board of regents, who can be trusted to duly safeguard it. 161 162 FOR PROFESSIONAL EXAMINATIONS. The amounts requested for the expenses connected with the various professional examinations and boards of examiners are merely appropriations of fees which have already been received by this department and turned over to the state treasurer. These items formerly appeared in the annual supply bill and are included herewith in accordance with our above mentioned intention to keep out of such supply hill and to cover all our necessities in the regular appropriation bill. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. 159 INDIAN SCHOOLS. An appropriation is requested of $ 14.0(H) as compared with the usual provision of $10,000. The statement is made that the excess amount is desired for betterment! of school property. Appropriations for betterments are not properly to be included in the appropriation bill, but it should be presented to the lcgis- lature as part of a special bill for this purpose. It is recommended that the sum of $10,000 for maintenance be the amount provided. 160 A new appropriation of $10,000 to be expended within the dis- cretion of the superintendent is requested and in explanation it is said that " easily there will arise, in any year, unexpected needs and this contingent fund is requested to provide for such demands, if they shall occur, and thus aid our purpose to refrain altogether from asking for appropriations in the supply bills, even if relief might lie had opportunely in that way." The language in support of this request indicates a buoyant nature in the person who penned the description, but his confi- dence in the future is not sustained by the experience of the past. A study of the progress of the upbuilding of appropriations by the educational department is convincing proof that an appropriation or fund once established is never abandoned or forgotten, and never displaces any fund which has become an established insti- tution. It is recommended that this appropriation be denied. 161. 162. 163. 164. 166. 168. 160. 171. BOARDS OF EXAMINATION.

NEW YORK INSTITUTE FOR THE EDUCATION OF THE BLIND. This appropriation is at the per capita rate of $350. This amount will not cover the cost, the balance being made up out of the funds of the Institute. It is impossible to say what amount of the appro- priation now in force will be unexpended on September 30, 1914, as it will depend upon the number of pupils appointed and in attend- ance. The full number will require the whole amount; a less number would have an unexpended balance. CATHOLIC INSTITUTE FOR THE BLIND.

The appropriation of $10,500 asked for on the sheet attached, is for the care and maintenance of deaf children placed in the above institution for the purpose of educating them. NEW YORK INSTITUTION FOR THE INSTRUCTION OF THE DEAF AND DUMB. The New York Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb was chartered by the legislature of the state of New York in the year 1817. Since that time there have been educated 4,597 pupils. Less than 4 per cent, of the graduates of this institution have failed to be self-supporting men and women, thereby making satisfactory return to the state for the expenditure. Every known instrument or aid which is of value in their educa- tion is used. Speech and speech-reading are taught to all. Educa- tion of the ear where there is a remnant of hearing. A course of study equivalent to that of common schools and academies. A mechanical trade is given to each pupil. Classes in cooking for the pupils. Thorough instruction in all departments of art a special feature of this institution. A completely equipped gymnasium under the supervision of a physical director has been provided. Classes in band and field music. Military drill for the boys. To carry on this work there have been employed 54 teachers. The cost of this instruction alone, the last fiscal year was $64,981.53. The receipts from the state comptroller were $88,878.23; from the several counties, for pupils between the ages of 5 and 12, $55,255.97; from pay pupils, $863.50 and from other sources, $1,556.96, making a total of $146,664.82. The expenditures were $182,801.82. The deficit of $36,247.16, was borrowed from the real estate and building fund. The detail of expenditures is appended, for your information : Schools, $64,981.53; groceries and provisions, $33,623.10; clothing, $14,116.27; furniture and bedding, $5,521.85; building and repairs. $7,745.27; ($1,849.90 for Croton water), $6,560.99; salaries and wages, $27,930.66; fuel and lights, $13,424.88; stable. $1,503.44; garden and grounds, $1,582.93; laundry, $4,356.15; hospital, $1,445.65; total, $182,801.82.

The International Sunshire Society makes application for the sum of $12,775 for the support and instruction of 35 blind pupils at a per capita cost of $365 per year. By chapter 60 of the laws of 1912, which amended the Education Law, the International Sun- shine Society, Brooklyn Home for Blind, Crippled and Defective Children, was included among the institutions qualified to receive blind babies and children for instruction and support, and in 1913 an appropriation of $10,950 was made for the support and instruc- tion of 30 pupils at $365 per year. The State Board of Charities has begun an investigation into the management and conduct of the Sunshine Society and the institution it operates. This examination is not yet completed. It followed and grew out of an examination made by the Board of Charities of the State of New Jersey. Charges have been made regarding the EXPLANATORY NOTES BY DEPARTMENT. During the fiscal year which ended September 30, 1913, the total! population including state and county pupils was 270. Average daily attendance was 228. Total number of state pupils, 115. The total cost for support and instruction of state and county pupils was $88,455.35 and the amount received from the state was j $37,371.50. The annual per capita cost of each pupil was $387.96. The per I capita allowance for both state and county pupils was only $325. LE COUTEULX ST. MARY'S INSTITUTION FOR THE IMPROVED INSTRUCTION OF DEAF-MUTES. The per capita cost for the fiscal year ending October 1, 1913, was $341.56. The estimated cost for the present and next fiscal years is $350. The estimated number of pupils for the fiscal year beginning Oc- ' tobcr 1, 1913, is 84. NORTHERN NEW YORK INSTITUTION FOR DEAF-MUTES AT MALONE. The whole number of state pupils at the institution during the fiscal year which ended September 30, 1913, was 57. The average per capita cost was $336.45. This cost, however, will be increased during the coming year owing to fire, which destroyed the main building of the institution. There were unusual conditions last I year. There are new buildings now completed, and it is expected | that the per capita cost will be again increased. ST. JOSEPH'S INSTITUTE FOR THE IMPROVED INSTRUCTION OF DEAF-MUTES. Our present number of state pupils is 235. Of the county pupils now on roll 48 will attain the age of 12 j before October 1, 1914, and 40 others before the expiration of the j period covered by the appropriation; but as several state pupils will complete their terms of appointment before or within the period ] specified, we believe the appropriation asked for will suffice. WESTERN NEW YORK INSTITUTION FOR DEAF-MUTES, ROCHESTER. The per capita expenditure of the institution during the past year J for tuition and maintenance was $354.95. It is reasonable to estimate that the number of state pupils in attendance for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1914, will bel 115. More than this number have been in attendance during the! past year. CENTRAL NEW YORK INSTITUTION FOR DEAF-MUTES AT ROME. The average number of state pupils supported and instructed in I this institution for the fiscal year 1912-1913 was 55. Six countyl pupils will become state pupils during the present fiscal year, and! on that basis it is estimated that an appropriation for the mainte-j nance of 60 will be required next year. During the fiscal year 1910-1 11 the per capita cost per pupil was $358.77; during the fiscal yearj 1911-12 the per capita cost was $351.30; during the fiscal yearj 1912-13 the per capita cost was $337.17. The sum requested thisl year is $350 per capita. financial matters connected with the Society and the institution,! and during the examination it developed that Attorney-General j Thomas Carmodv had written an opinion to the counsel for the! institution advising him that children under 12 years could notl legally be received in the institution.

New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y. — Continued. 137 EXPLANATORY NOTES BY DEPARTMENT. NEW YORK STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY, ITHACA, N. Y. Last year the board of trustees requested of the legislature the sum of $530,000 for maintenance, equipment and necessary mate- rials for conducting the College of Agriculture, of which not to exceed $50,000 might be used for providing instruction in physics, chemistry, etc., to increased number of students in the College of Agriculture. The legislature, however, divided the appropriation, placing $450,000 in the appropriation bill and items in the supply bill sufficient to make up the $530,000. We now request that all items of regular and continuing mainte- nance be placed in the appropriation bill. Inasmuch as all the necessities of maintenance are on a similar basis and operate throughout the year and are needed continuously, it is desirable that they be not divided into separate appropria- tions. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. NEW YORK STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AT CORNELL. An appropriation of $530,000 is requested in uniteniized form in one lump sum. An itemized statement of the manner in which this appropria- tion has been expended, which comprises a list of the instructors and other employees of the institution, and the various subdivisions in which the maintenance has been divided has been secured and it is recommended that the appropriation in the appropriation bill this year l>e in the itemized form as recommended in this report. The college authorities earnestly contend, and undoubtedly be- lieve that an itemized appropriation will seriously hamper the work of the college and curtail its usefulness, but this argument is the usual and customary one advanced by all who have had the control and direction of large sums and jh not justified by experience. It is customary for all employees, whether provisional or clerical, to receive a salary computed upon a yearly basis and the segrega- tion of these items, which constitute the principal part of the appropriation, is surely not difficult. There must undoubtedly be one fund of considerable amount which is so worded that the directors of the institution may have some liberty in expenditure to provide for contingencies which cannot he anticipated at the time of budget making, but this will, in time, be reduced to smaller amounts as experience in handling segregated funds is gained. We earnestly recommend that at least a beginning be made, this year in dividing this huge sum of money into smaller items. 138 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY.

NATIONAL GUARD. Provides for five assistants to the adjutant-general and is a statu- tory allowance under section 18 of the Military Law. as amended by chapter 3, Laws of 1913. Provides for two additional employees urgently needed to enable this office to promptly and efficiently perform duties imposed by law and regulations of the State and requirements of the War Department. An increase of $2,570 over appropriation of 1013 is desired to enable the adjutant-general to revise list of graded employees and fix salaries, commensurate, in his judgment, with duties per- formed. Same allowance was made by Legislature of 1913. An increase of $50,000 over amount appropriated by Legislature of 1913 is desired for the reason that scheme of field service outlined by the Division Commander for the ensuing season, in addition to items which may properly be considered as fixed charges, will require enlarged appropriation. This shows a slight reduction, is a statutory allowance and amount desired will be sufficient for the purpose. An increase of $25,000 is desired. These allowances are fixed by statute and are based on returns to be filed at the end of the year. Recent amendments to the Military Law, granting allowances for horse hire for infantry and field artillery organizations and formation of five batteries of field artillery and one troop of cavalry with their personnel, will render additional appropriation necessary. This item is designed to provide means for emergent expense to be availed of only in case of necessity. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. NATIONAL GUARD. The National Guard requests appropriations of State funds in what appears to be a more or less itemized form, but this prac- tice is deceptive, every item interlocking so that for all practical purposes it is merely one huge fund of one half million dollars, which the managers of the National Guard can utilize for almost any purpose whatsoever. The expense of the National Guard is very much too high. The appropriations have been made without knowledge on the part of the legislature or executive regarding the practical benefits to be obtained from the expenditure. Last year an appropriation of doubtful utility, for which the Committee of Tnquiry recommended $18,000 was increased by the personal influence of an officer of the. Naval Militia with the executive to $34,000. The sum of $18,000, recommended by the Committee of Inquiry was, in itself $5,000 higher than that awarded by the legislature of 1912. Nearly every item of the National Guard Association has been increased in recent years to a startling amount. Without in any wa-s denying the benefit to the State of a well-drilled body of citizen soldiers, It is recommended that the legislature eliminate the fads and fancy work from the Guard and appropriate only sufficient money to maintain it on a business basis. The various items submitted as requests have been cut only slightly to the amounts recommended for appropriation, both in the appropriation bill and supply bill, in this report, and are entirely adequate for the necessities of the Guard. It is certain that the managers of the National Guard will spend $5,000,000 instead of $500,000 if the legislature will make the appropriation and the requests in no way represent the ac- tual necessities.

The appropri- ations of 1913 were not sufficient to permit the Naval Militia to participate in these cruises at full strength. 4 An increase of $3,000 is desired to cover general expense of the Naval Militia, and considering increase in strength of the Naval Militia, it is deemed a reasonable amount.

This will necessitate a readjustment of the number of prisoners in the 4 prisons nearly doubling the population of Great Meadow and reducing the popu- lation of the other 3 prisons. The amounts requested by the prisons as submitted to the depart- ment aggregate $978,576. The department estimate has reduced this amount to $918,700 including the Bertillon department main- tained from this fund. The amount requested is fixed at a total of $900,000 only, which is very low and may not be found suffi- cient. It is placed at this amount, however, in the hope that In- strict economy the expenditures may b« kept within the amount requested. In the manner in which appropriation is shown the form used in chapter 792. laws of 1913, is followed in showing direct appropriation of $760,000 onlv, and authorization to use from the capital fund $140,000 additional. 14 The amount requested is $2,012.88 in excess of amount expended for fiscal year 1912-13. The increase is based on an increase in the cost of provisions already in effect, to provide for extra provisions on account of regular Sunday dinners recently inaugurated and some slight increase in population. STATE FARM FOR WOMEN AT VALATIE. 15 This institution has for a part of the last fiscal year had a few prisoners transferred from the state prisons. The capacity with present buildings is 86. It is contemplated increasing the number to the maximum capacity or using it for women as intended. If either is done with salaries of officers and employees, provisions, clothing and other necessary expenses it is believed approximately amount requested will be needed. The State Farm for Women Misdemeanants at Valatie was established through the efforts of the Women's Prison Association with the object of employing in outdoor occupations the women of this class, who having reached the age of thirty years have proved by repeated arrests and commitment to Correctional Institutions that they are incapable of self-control. In the State of New York there are at the present time over fifteen hundred women delinquents past thirty years of age, whose arrests run from twenty to three hundred times. The Report of the Board of Magistrates of the First Judicial District for the year 1911 states that 2.127 women repeaters had their fingerprints taken from two to eight times in the Night Court during that year. To show how fast these repeaters are detected through the fingerprint system, the report states that in January, 1911. out of 340 women arrested on charge of solicit- ing, 62, or less than one-fifth, were repeaters, that is. had been arrested before, while in August of that year out of 553 women subjected to the fingerprint system 276. were first offenders and 277, were repeaters, that is over one-half. Of the entire number of women convicted on all charges in the Magistrates Court over one-fourth were between the ages of thirty any forty years and nearlti one-fourth were over forty years old. The Report of the Board of Magistrates for 1912. gives a total number of women convicted of soliciting as 5.728 and 2.282 of these were repeaters. 670 of whom had been arrested from five to thirteen times during the year and over one-fourth of these were over thirty years of age. The cost of arrest, arraignment and conviction in the city of New York is not less than $15 per capita, and the 670 women over thirty years of age who had been arrested from five to thirteen COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. 13 GENERAL MAINTENANCE FUND FOR SING SING, AUBURN, CLINTON AND GREAT MEADOW. The combined expenditures of these four institutions and the Ber- tillon measurement bureau for the fiscal vear 1912-1913, was $821,991.53. The estimated expenditures for the current year are $852,650, and the department asks for a still further increase for the fiscal year beginning the 1st of next October, to $918,700. No satis- factory explanation has been offered to account for this tremen- dous increase year by year. The opening of Great Meadow prison will undoubtedly produce some changes bxit should not make such a tremendous difference as is anticipated. The schedule covering these four prisons is based upon the esti- mated expenditures of this present year. It is considered ju- dicious not to itemize too closely, because in some respects these four prisons are operated as one, and consequently a miscellaneous or contingent fund is provided.

The cost per capita, for support at the workhouse is not less than 35 cents a day, the average cost per capita, in county jails is $2.50 a week. The Legislature of 1913, enacted a law providing for the commit- ment to the workhouse of all offenders under the Tenement House Act. The consequence has been that the workhouse became so overcrowded that it was necessary to transfer one hundred of these offenders to Queens county jail, yet from four to six women were crowded into workhouse cells 7 by 10 by 12 feet, regardless of age, offense or physical conditions. The fact that women delinquents whether charged with disorderly conduct or intoxication are as proven by their repeated convic- tion incapable of self-control, that large numbers of them when out of prison loiter in our streets, sit in our public parks or seek shelter in lodging houses where under most unsanitary con- ditions they become a menace to public health and morals and that when in the workhouse and jails they are closely associated, regardless of age, character or physical condition makes it im- perative, that both as a relief to the taxpayer and In the interest of the women themselves different methods should be adopted with them. Social ostracism with this class is unavoidable. They are unsafe to take in any home or employ in any industry. The vast majority are perfectly capable of self-support under supervision and large numbers could be made fit to return to society under carefully planned and supervised methods of em- ployment, which while rendering themselves self-supporting sub- jects them to good morals, influences, personal study and scien- tific treatment. An appropriation of $100,000 was obtained in 1908 for the pur- pose of purchasing a suitable farm and beginning operations thereon. A Committee was appointed by Governor Hughes to select a site. Eighteen months elapsed before the Committee purchased the farm at Valatie, a farm consisting of 297 acres at a cost of $12,500. About $11,500 was spent by the Commission and Superintendent of Prisons in expenses, caretakers, etc., leaving $66,400 for building purposes. Two cottages, each two full stories in height, and containing twenty- eight rooms for inmates, one room for each matron, an office, reception room, a sitting room for inmates, dining room, kitchen, pantries, etc., a total of thirty-four rooms all told, has been erected at a cost of $31,500 per cottage. These cottages are of cement, re-inforced with brick and have tiled roofs, these being it is true more expensive but also more durable than slate. They have the usual hardwood floors supplied in all institutions under State control and are lighted bv electricity, that being the safest and cheapest method of lighting and particularly necessary in cases where inmates are liable to become unman- ageable. The inside work is plain to the verge of barrenness as it should be. The farm is at present stocked with cattle, hogs and chickens. To abandon or discontinue the work is not only a mistake but an injury to all concerned. We ask now for an appropriation of $15,000 deficiency. $30,000 for furnishing and maintenance during the coming year and an appropriation of $100,000 for the further erection oif cottages. DANNEMORA STATE HOSPITAL FOR INSANE CONVICTS. 16 This amount, requested for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1914, and ending September 30, 1915, is based on an average daily population of 612. This estimate is conservative. The average daily population for the year would unquestionably exceed 612 were we in position to continue to take all the insane from the various penal institutions. It is a fact, however, that as no additional buildings can be provided and limit the admission to the more acute cases. Using this estimated daily average population of 612, at a per capita cost of $245, the actual amount required would be $149,940. The slight increase in the estimated per capita cost over that of the year just ended, is due to the fact that the hospital was without a 1st assistant physician and medical interne for several months of the year. A slight additional allowance was also made in classifications where the expenses were unusually low during the past year. MATTEAWAN STATE HOSPITALS FOR INSANE CRIMINALS. 17 The amount allowed by the last legislature for general maintenance for the fiscal year 1913-14 was $190,000, which was $10,000 less than the amount asked for, and $4,000 less than the amount avail- able for the fiscal year 1912-13. The new wage schedule at this hospital became effective April 1, 1913, and the original appropria- COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. CLINTON.

The per capita cost during the fiscal year just closed was $225.51, which was more than $10 lower than the preceding year in spite of the fact that commissary supplies were higher, and that the new wage schedule was in effect for G months. The general expansion of the hospital and corresponding increase in expenditures for fuel, lighting, general supplies, and repairs tend to increase our budget slightly; but the chief increase cost is for wages, commissary supplies and clothing. Therefore, to maintain the proper standard of care at this hospital, an appro- priation of $210,000 is requested. COMMENT BY DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY.

The method of computing appropriations for the State Hos- pitals for the Insane has been as complicated as could be devised, and difficult to understand. In the institutions there are many patients whose board is paid by relatives. The total amount of revenue received from such board moneys amounts annually to approximately $550,000. In deciding upon the appropriations to be requested for the various institutions, the cost of operation during the fiscal year is computed, and from that cost is deducted the amount received in board money, and the total in the appropriation bill represents the difference. The first year that this method was adopted, no appropriation of the board money was made. That was left until the following year to be provided in the annual Supply Bill. Thus, the con- dition now is established that the funds provided in the annual appropriation bill each year are approximately $550,000 less than that computed to be actually necessary to operate these institutions, and the succeeding legislature is expected to provide the deficiency in the Supply Bill from the board money collected, to help out for the fiscal year which should have been covered by the general appropriation bill. The foregoing schedules contain what is estimated to be the full amount necessary to operate the hospitals during the next fiscal year. In addition to this amount the sum of $600,000 will be required to be provided in the supply bill to provide for the deficiencies in the appropriation last year in which that amount was deducted from the several amounts required for the main- tenance of the hospitals. If these amounts should be appropriated this year it would eliminate from future supply bills one of the largest single items.

These two items were passed in the appropriation bill by the legis- lature of 1913, but were vetoed by the governor as unnecessary. It appears, however, that they were paid from an appropriation for office expenses which contained the language, " Temporary, clerical and expert service." Inasmuch as these employees are at present in the staff, it is recommended that appropriation be made under the proper heading, and that the office expense item be reduced to the sum of $3,000, and the language which permits payment to employees be eliminated. 20 SEVENTH GRADE, FOUR EMPLOYEES, $6,ooo. This item affords an illustration of the possibilities contained in unitemized appropriations by grades. The legislature) appro- priated the sum of $6,000 for four employees of the seventh grade. In the same act, the legislature also appropriated $3,000 for the positions of general inspector and inspector of cattle. The latter two positions, which appeared under their titles in the appropriation bill, were vetoed by the governor as unneces- sary. The department, however, created the positions, notwith- standing the veto, and money for payment was found under this lump sum appropriation for the " Seventh Grade, Four Employees." Had the appropriation been made specifically for positions by title, as recommended in this bill, there could have l>een no manipulation. Inasmuch as these men are in the staff, it is recommended that the appropriation be made under the proper title.

An analysis of these expenditures has been secured by the Department of Efficiency and Economy, and indicates that itemized appropriations can be made. The items set down in this proposed bill approximate the actual expenditures of the fiscal year ending September 30, 1913. 20 Medical care of state employees. $5,000. This appropriation was originally established to provide medical and surgical care for employees receiving small wages who might be injured in the performance of their duties. The purpose of the appropriation has been diverted so that employees in all 21 22 23 departments, some receiving high rates of wages, have been the beneficiaries. There is no good reason why a select few of the state employees should have their expenses of illness paid by the state and the great majority be compelled to pay their own expenses. It is recommended that the wording of the item be changed so that only those who are injured in the performance of their duties on public buildings be admitted to the benefits. Painting and repairs. Plumbing and drainage. Fire protection. No special appropriations for any of these purposes need to be made if the itemized appropriations as included in items 18 and 19 are put into effect.

Total of division. Total appropriation. 5,000 00 26,450 00 $68,150 00 $618,980 00 COMMENT BY THE DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. The Conservation Department is three departments in one. It is operated as three separate divisions, each division under the direction and charge of a commissioner and deputy and each divi- sion has functions and duties entirely distinct from the other divisions. The proper method of appropriations for the Conservation Department is that the items should be arranged under the head of the division to which they belong and the appropriation for the salaries of Commissioners and Deputies should each be in its proper division. The bill contained in this report is arranged in accordance with the recommendation and the amounts of the items are re- duced to conform to the expenditures during the fiscal year just closed. The total amount of appropriation requested is $751,830 00 The total amount recommended is 618,980 00 The reduction from appropriation requested is. . $132,850 00 EXPLANATORY NOTES BY DEPARTMENT. Three deputy commissioners at $3,500, $10,500. This item appeared in appropriation bill last year at the rate of $5,000 each and was stricken out by the governor on the ground of increase. The item now is the same as in 1912. Four confidential agents, at $1,800 each, $7,200. This item appeared in appropriation bill last year as 5 con- fidential agents at $1,800 each, $9,000. The item was stricken out by the governor, as it showed an increase of 1 agent at $1,800. The item is now same as in 1912. One examiner of titles, $2,700. This is a new office. An examiner of titles is greatly needed in this department to assist the examiner in the conservation bureau of the attorney-general's department, as the work in this line is in arrears and constantly piling up. One assistant chief of publication, $1,500. This is transfer for 1 employee now being paid from appropria- tion for additional employees. These 4 additions cover all changes in the item of official sala- ries as compared with chapter 792, 1913. Same as 1913, except that 1 employee is omitted and appears in fish hatchery bureau at same salary, $1,800. 3 Office expenses. 4 Rental of leased offices, etc. Heretofore these requests have all been included under the head of office expenses. For additional clarity, the commission has deemed it proper to divide this and make two items, one of which shall relate to the rental of leased offices and fixed charges directly connected therewith, that is to say, the expenses imposed upon this commission by reason of its being compelled to occupy offices outside the capitol; while the other item relates to such office expenses as are natural and usual in all state departments. The aggregate of these two budgetary requests is $40,000 ; $27,000 in the appropriation bill and $13,000 in the supply bill. Our expenditures were $27,317.97 in fiscal year ending September 30, 1913, and $27,113.22 in fiscal year ending September 30, 1912. Our available balance for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1913, is $14,000. It will be seen that with average expenditures of over $27,000, our requests, both for the appropriation bill and the supply bill, are simply a matter of arithmetic. The items of expenditure from this fund for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1913, were as follows: BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. 197 Conservation Department — ■ continued. r EXPLANATORY NOTES BY DEPARTMENT.

We expended out of this fund $11,363.77 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1913, and $14,180.05 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1912. Our appropriation was cut to $9,000 by the legislature of 1913, and we have only $9,373.94 available for the present fiscal year. What we ask is that this be supplemented by a $2,000 item in the supply bill, and that we be given $11,000 in the appropria- tion bill for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1914. Division of fish and game — official salaries. Same as chapter 792, 1913, except that 1 superintendent of inland fisheries at $2,500 is added. This office was created by section 271 of Conservation Law, which fixed the salary, and chapter 540, 1912, made provision for his salary, same as above. The item appeared in our budget of last year but was omitted from the appropriation bill. Our receipts through this bureau last vear amounted to $15,014.56, an increase of about $6,000 over 1912. Salaries — division of fish and game — graded employees. Same as in chapter 792, laws 1913, except that 2 stenographers were transferred to the division from other bureaus without change in compensation, making an apparent increase of $2,000. Protectors' expenses. The legal allowance of chief game protector is Deputy chief game protector 12 division chiefs, $750 each , 5 fisheries protectors, $750 each 105 game protectors, $600 each Superintendent of inland fisheries There must also be paid 4 importation agents, esti mated $600 $1,000 1, 000 9,000 3,750 63, 000 1,000 2,400 $81, 150 We had an apparent balance September 30, 1913, of $4,596.39, but this balance was more than onset by bills for the month of September aggregating $6,724.81, leaving a deficiency of $2,128.42. The expenditures from this fund in 1912 were $54,237.36. The expenditures from this fund in 1913 were $66,112.52. It is not safe to figure on less than $70,000 for 1914. We have by chapter 792, laws of 1913, $60,000. We should 'have in supply bill, 1914, $10,000 and in appropria- tion bill for 1914, $70,000.' It must be borne in mind that the protective force was largely increased by chapter 318, laws of 1912. This correspondingly increases the necessary expense allowance. Per contra the receipts of this commission increased over $60,000 comparing the fiscal year ending September 30, 1913, with that ending September 30, 1912; of which increase about $45,000 was in the division of fish and game. The receipts for 1911 were $258,226.65. The receipts for 1912 were $256,002.65. The receipts for 1913 were $316,407.87. 9 This fund is chiefly for the payment of protectors when assigned to special duties outside their districts. Expenditures: For fiscal year ending September 30, 1911 $3, 192 44 For fiscal rear ending September 30. 1912 5, 037 02 For fiscal year ending September 30, 1913 8, 233 96 Balance available for current fiscal year 5, 328 50 Requested in appropriation bill, for fiscal year begin- ning October 1,1914 5,000 00 10 Marine Fisheries Bureau. The appropriation bill for 1913 included salaries of the supervisor of marine fisheries bureau, $5,000, and deputy supervisor $3,000. As these items were increases of $2,000 and $1,000 respectively over 1912 they were vetoed by the Gov- ernor — they are included here at $3,000 for supervisor and $2,000 for the deputy — same as in 1912. Surveyor decreased from $2,500 to $2,000. Net increase, $4,500. Same as in 1913. Marine Bureau Expenses. The amount requested is same as was appropriated last year and $1,000 less than the year previous. The figures show that it is a very conservative request. The office rent alone is $2,300. Fish Culturist Salary. Same as 1913 — no change. Fixed by statute. Fish Hatcheries. Graded employees, eighth grade, 1 employee, transferred from item No. 2 at $1,800. No change in duties or compensation. Seventh grade — -One employee transferred from forestry bureau with increase from $1,500 to $1,600 — (Gooding). Net increase, $100. Sixth grade — One additional employee — foreman of fish hatchery to provide for foreman of new hatchery at Ogdensburg at salary of $1,080. Fish hatcheries, maintenance. The state must determine whether the propagation of fish is to go on with progressive effectiveness, or be seriously curtailed and retrograded. The output of the state hatcheries, nine in number, was 1,287,- 255,000 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1913, as against 730,000,000 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1912. On the other hand: The average appropriations for hatchery pur- poses for the years from 1904 to 1909 inclusive — with only eight hatcheries in operation — were $66,750. We now have nine hatcheries in operation, and the St. Lawrence Co. hatchery ready to operate. We had a balance of $1.32 in this fund September 30th, and have by chapter 792, laws of 1913, $40,000. Our ex- penditures for this purpose in last fiscal year were $60,043.45 and we were left with bills for August and September amounting to $7,500 unpaid. In addition to the $40,000 we should have at least $20,000 in the supply bill as requested and an appropriation of $70,000 for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1914. We also ask for $10,000 for necessary hatchery repairs in the supply bill — $3,000 in the same bill for collecting eggs. AND EXPENDITURES 1904 TO 1913 HATCHERY APPROPRIATIONS INCLUSIVE.

No changes — same as 1913. 18 Game bird farm maintenance. Expenditures from this fund were: Fiscal year ending September 30, 1911, $5,2G2.36. Fiscal year ending September 30, 1912, $6,040.06 Fiscal year ending September 30, 1913, $6,699.72. We have but $5,314.58 available for the current fiscal year. We need, to eke this out, $2,000 in the supply bill; and for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1914, a $7,000 appropriation bill item is required. The demands upon the state game bird farm are far and away in excess of its present best productive possibili- ties. For example, out of 28,261 birds asked for in 1912 only 3,409 could be supplied; and of 126.361 eggs applied for, but 12,681. In 1913, the applications received were materially less, prob- ably because it came to be generally understood that it was im- possible to take care of the demand. Out of 5,632 birds applied for 5,000 were supplied, and out of 26,213 eggs applied for 25,000 were furnished. Hunter's License Bureau. 19 Graded employees. Seventh grade, one employee increased from $1,500 to $1^600. The increase of $100 is intended for Clerk F. A. Traver, who has charge of the hunters' licenses. 20 Expenses (A. B.), $1,000. Printing licenses (S. B.), $700. 21 Printing licenses (A. B.). $2,400. 22 County clerks' fees (A. B.), $2,500. For expenses in this bureau the request for $1,000 (same as last year) is amply sustained by the figures as to past expendi- tures, balances, etc. For printing hunters' licenses (200,000 required) the cost is $2,200; our balance is but $1,500. the appropriation having been cut last year. We ask $700 to fill out this fund for the current fiscal year; and $2,400 in appropriation bill for the fiscal year begin- ning October 1. 1914. as the number of hunters' licenses required to be issued (and. consequently, the state revenue derived there- from) is constantly increasing. For county clerks' fees (see requirements of § 185, subd. 4. conservation law) in view of balance in hand we are asking for but $2,500 in place of $4,000 last year and $5,000 in 1912. Division of Lands and Forests. 23, 24, 25 Items 23, 24 and 25, together show an increase of $300 over 1913. This increase is intended for: Superintendent of forests, from $3,200 to $3,300— increase, $100. Deputy superintendent of forests, from $2,000 to $2.100 — in- crease, $100. *1 employee — increase, $100. * Apparent only, by transfer. These items have been arranged as above in order to separate fire patrol employees from office force. 26 Reforesting lands and bureau expenses. Expenditures from this fund were $42,231.79 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1913, and for the fiscal year ending September 30. 1912, $32,680.93. From this fund is carried on the great work of the 3 nurseries and reforestation. The expense of the spring work in the nurseries alone during 1913 amounted to $10,770. This included the operations of plant- ing seed, transplanting small trees and packing trees for shipping. The capacity of our nurseries is now 28,000.000 trees. Over 4,250,000 trees have been shipped from our nurseries in each of the years 1912 and 1913. State institutions are supplied free and private owners at cost. Without an adequate appropriation for nursery work many of the trees which are in the nurseries now cannot be distributed to private individuals and would thus become a total loss. There are thousands of acres of state land needing reforesting. During the spring of 1913, on account of the limited funds available, it was only possible to reforest about 75 acres of state land. Besides the expense of operating the nurseries and of reforesting state land, there is also to come from this fund the expense of employees of the division of lands and forests in all investigations relating to exemption of timber lands from taxation ; the gathering together of data and the publication of pamphlets dealing with certain phases of forestry to further education of the people of the state. We ask $45,000 in the appropriation bill and $10,000 in the supply bill. 27 Fire patrol. We had an apparent balance in this fund on September 30, 1913, of $27,327.04 and an appropriation of $25,000 became available on October 1, 1913. But as a matter of fact practically this entire fund is exhausted at the present time as the result of the heavy expenditures necessitated by the numerous, protracted and stubborn forest fires of the past season. The total axpenditure for fire patrol in the fiscal year ending September 30, 1013, was $97,705.15. This included practically none of the big fire charges of August and September, 1913. The average expense for labor, supplies, etc., in connection with fighting fires for the past few years has been about $11,000 per annum; but this year it will amount to over $45,000. This is a dispensation of Providence which could not possibly have been foreseen either by this depart- ment or by the legislature and it compels us to make unusually large requests. We shall require $35,000 in a special bill to take care of the emergency created by the recent big fires. We need $50,000 in the Supply bill to restore a working balance for the spring months. We need $100,000 in the appropriation bill for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1914. Division of Inland Waters. 28 Official salaries. This item is the same as in 1913 with the excep- tion of the inspector of docks and dams, increased $100, making his salary the same as the division engineer. 29 Graded employees. No change — same as in 1913. 30 Gate tenders. No change — same as in 1913. 31 Hydrographic Investigations. These investigations have for several years past been carried on in co-operation with the United States Geological Survey; the records include data of work done by the United States Geological Survey in co-operation with the state engineer and surveyor. The $10,000 annually appropriated by the state of New York, as its share of the expenses of this co-operative arrangement, have yielded returns in a work whose scope is much greater than could have been obtained had the state expended that amount .separately. The records of rainfall, stream flow, etc., all of which are pub- lished in the annual reports of this commission, are very valuable to the state and to a large number of important interests engaged in hydraulic and hydro-electric work, and in prospective schemes for the development of hydro-electric energy. It is necessary for the continuance of this work, that the usual $10,000 appropriation be made. 32 Investigation of Drainage Improvements. Pending decision of the court of appeals in the so-called Bing- ham case, growing out of the Canaseraga creek improvement, this commission has deferred the making of surveys under article 7 of the conservation law, relative to drainage improvements. This decision the court of appeals has now handed down, fully sustain- ing the authority of the commission as to drainage improvements, so that this important work may now safely be prosecuted. There are many large areas of swamp land in this state, whose value may be greatly enhanced, and the health and safety of the adjoin- ing" communities improved, through such drainage improvements as are contemplated by article 8. We have an available balance of some $3,800 for the current fiscal year and should have $3,000 for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1914. 33 Surveys, Investigations, Etc. No appropriation for this important line of the conservation commission's activities has been had since the $30,000 contained in chapter 811 of the laws of 1911 (supply bill). The legislature of 1912 voted us $35,000 and the legislature of 1913 voted ug $15,000, but both of these appropriations failed of executive ap- proval, and the work has, in the meantime, been carried on. so far as was possible, on the unexpended balance of the 1911 appropriation. Among the purposes for which this fund has been used are the extensive surveys, maps, etc., incident to the so-called Linden scheme for the town supply of water to some 60 cities, villages and hamlets lying between Rochester and Buffalo and between Lake Ontario and the vicinity of Batavia. BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. Conservation Department — continued. 199 :u EXPLANATORY NOTES BY DEPARTMENT. The legislature of 1913 passed, and the governor approved, chapter 233 of the laws of 1913, providing for the formation of union water districts and the construction of conservation water works for jointly supplying these several cities, villages, etc., included in each such district. The governor in approving this chapter pronounced it one of the most important pieces ot legislation upon which he had acted. Under chapter 233, surveys have been made for a gravity water works to supply jointly, Cohoes, Watervliet, ftreen Island and VVaterford, and these 4 municipalities have formed a water district under the name, of the " Charlton Union Water District." In connection therewith, considerable engineering work has been done and its continuance is urgent, but the work, which is far from complete, is almost at a standstill through lack of funds with which to continue it. Extensive and very careful surveys have been made of power possibilities on the Oswegatchie river and its branches; and sur- veys have been made of the Saranac river from Lake Champlain to Saranac lake, which, however, are in an incomplete state for a like reason, viz., lack of funds. The same situation exists with regard to similar work on the upper Hudson river. The 1911 appropriation of $30,000, which estimate was intended for 1 year's work, has been eked out and by curtailment of the amount of work and rigid economy, has been spread out over nearly 3 years. We need $15,000 in the supply bill for the present fiscal year and $20,000 in the appropriation bill for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1914. Investigation of River Structures. Section 22 of the conservation law commits to this commission jurisdiction over dams and river structures, with a view to pro- tecting the public against catastrophes such as the Johnstown flood. The commission lias an inspector of docks and dams, whose salary is provided for in the general appropriation bill, but main- tenance expenses in this line of work must be made by separate item. Chapter 547 of the laws of 1912 gave us $2,500 for this purpose, but an item of like nature in the 1913 supply bill was disapproved by the governor. Out of this fund must be paid assistants, traveling expenses, etc., incident to the inspection of dams and river structures, and as the 1912 appropriation has been exhausted, the inspector of docks and dams is now without assist- ants and the work is curtailed to the detriment of the service. It is the ambition of the commission to make every dam and river structure in the state of New York absolutely safe and there has already been a marked decrease in the number of dams which have failed or gone out, and in consequent damage to persons and prop- erty. To prevent the crippling of the work we need an appro- priation of $2,500 in the supply bill for the present fiscal year and $5,000 in the appropriation bill for the year beginning Octo- ber 1, 1914. 35 Advertising and Printing. This expenditure is required principally by the conservation law which directs that hearings held and orders made, under section 152, for additional protection to fish or game, must be advertised in 1 newspaper.* We expended for this purpose in the fiscal year ending September 30, 1913, $523.33 and have available a balance of $531.91. * In each county affected. 36 Bureau of Publication — Expenses. The need of a fund for the expenses of illustrated lectures and pamphlet work, to increase popular enlightenment along conserva- tion lines and to bring out the work that the state of New York has been and is doing in that direction, speaks for itself. A much larger sum than we are asking might be properly devoted to this purpose. 37 Fines and Penalties. The title of this item is somewhat misleading, or at least it is not sufficiently inclusive to indicate the multitude of necessary expenditures which it covers, such as the payment of moieties to complainants, justice, constable, attorneys, witnesses, court cases, surveying and securing evidence for prosecutions for violations of the conservation law, etc. We expended from this fund, for the year ending September 30, 1911, $23,987.81; year ending Septem- ber 30, 1912, $17,795.82; year ending September 30, 1913, $15,232.08. We estimate that our available balance, $3,823.70 will suffice for the current fiscal year, and are asking for $15,000 in the appropriation bill for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1914. 38 Expenses of Steamboats and La nches. We expended from this fund in patrolling the state's waters for the protection of fish and game, $6,953.27 in the fiscal year ending September 30, 1911; $2,779.27 for the fiscal vear ending September 30, 1912; and $2,550.05 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1913. We estimate that our available balance $3,823.70 will suffice for the present fiscal year; and are asking for $3,000 in the appropriation bill for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1914. 39 Cuba Reservoir. Chapter 738 of the laws of 1913 turned over to this commission the custody of this property and appropriated $1,600, of which $600 is for compensation of the caretaker. We ask $600 in appro- priation bill for compensation of caretaker and $1,000 for main- tenance. 200 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY.

The reason this increase is asked, we now have 3 watchmen to cover the reservation at night, and it is necessary that we have 2 more. At the present time the upper riverway and Ooat Island are entirely unprotected at night between the hours of 5 p. m. and 8 a. m. There have been a number of suicides at each of these places, each season for the last few years, which with proper police protection might be entirely eliminated. 3 Police, tieketmen and caretakers; $11,500, increase, $1,000. The reason for asking for this increase, is that it is nrnmnnrr that we have one more police constable to cover Goat Island. It is impossible for one man to cover the whole of the island as it should be. During meal hours there is no one on the island at all. The narrow condition of the roads and the enormous amount of travel will require the services of 2 men alone to regulate traffic. This was particularly noticeable this season as there were more automobiles visited the reservation than in any other year in its history. And with the increase which will naturally come, we should have this increase in appropriation in order to handle the crowds. Office expenses; $2,500, increase, $000. We ari' asking for this increase as the present fund is entirely inadequate to cover the expenses which the law requires to be paid from that fund. And wo have had to ask for an emergency appropriation for approximately $800 to cover a deficiency for the fiscal year 1012-1013, from the legislature. Services and expenses: $25,000. increase. $5,500. This fund is the most important of all the maintenance funds, it carries the burden of laborer! and other employees, our laborers cost us more at present than ever before, as the extra cost of living, necessitates their earning more money. There are con- stant improvements going on. and the care of same in addition to the care of past improvements, requires extra men who are capable and faithful and worthy of their hire. Also all materials, tools, lights, fuel, etc., are costing more than in previous years. The upkeep of the reservation naturally cost more each year, and this fund lias not been increased in proportion. We have had to ask for a deficiency appropriation of $000 to cover a deficiency for the fiscal year, " in this fund " ending October 1, 1913, from the legislature. This fund should be increased to $25,000. 204 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. PROTECTIVE — PALISADES INTERSTATE PARK.

It is therefore necessary to increase the amount of this appropriation to the figure indicated. 8 Same as last year. 9 Same as last year. 10 This is an increase of $1,000, which would equalize the salaries of the employees in this grade, providing for a small increase in 2 instances, which should be granted. 11 This provides for the promotion of 2 pages to positions of junior clerks in this department. 12 This provides for 1 additional employee, which is absolutely neces- sary. 13 No change. 14 This is a new item which the large volume of work in this office has rendered necessary. The department has never had sufficient funds with which to carry on the work, and the volume of work is so great that a very high order of technical skill is required and to conserve the best interests of the state, men of special training in architectural and engineering problems, must be employed. 15 There are an insufficient number of inspectors employed by this office to properly inspect work during construction. An increase of $10,000 dollars is asked for in order that the work under con- tract may be properly supervised. 16 The department has never had sufficient draftsmen and architectural experts to carry on the work. The office, at this time, is behind in preparing necessary plans and specifications for advance work which the institutions so urgently need, and in addition I have never been able to do the preliminary work necessary preparatory to requesting appropriations. It has also been necessary each year to go to the legislature for deficiency appropriations. 17 The work of the department has grown to such an extent that very large quantities of drafting materials and office supplies of every kind are required. For the last few years it has been necessary to go to the legislature each year for supplemental appropriations for this purpose. An increase is asked for to give the department a reasonable chance to secure sufficient supplies for carrying on the necessary work, also for additional equipment required in the office and to replace old and worn-out equipment. IS This increase is necessary, due to the increased volume of work and additional inspection required to enable the state architect and his deputies to visit work under contract. 19 The amount of $50 is asked for for badges as I think it wise to equip the heads of the department and inspectors with badges indicating their position and authority in the department. This is very similar to the badges given to the special inspectors of the automobile bureau. I have purchased some of these badges from my own funds and found the moral effect great enough to warrant my asking an appropriation to furnish other employees with similar badges. 20 Since assuming charge of this department, the conclusion has been forced upon me that the office requires an automobile for con- ducting the official business of the department. So many institu- tions are located at inaccessible and isolated places that a large amount of time is spent on trains, particularly where infrequent service is had. In addition it has been necessary to make requi- sitions for the use of automobiles of other departments to enable the state architect to reach different sections of the state par- ticularly in the location of new sites. As I have had to make my time for these visits conform to the time of the people loaning the machine, I have been greatly handicapped in perform- ing this part of my work. This item could be regarded as an investment of the state architect's time and would permit me more latitude in making visits to different institutions by not being dependent upon public transportation facilities. 21 I find that it is absolutely necessary to have a New York office. Much of my time is spent in New York city upon official business, where I have to use my private office and private clerks for the use of the state. I am in New York 2 or 3 days a week on official business and feel that there should be a separate office maintained where this department could be properly represented, with office equipment and employees. 22 This amount is asked for a contingent fund to enable me to employ, when necessary, such experts in engineering and architecture for advice and co-operation. Many of the problems are complex and should not be decided by one man alone. In my private work I continually use such experts and they are a fixed charge in my office expenses. In addition, it has never been possible to predict the amount of work which would come to this department through the appropriations made by the legislature and sufficient funds should be allowed in this account so that extra work can be taken care of. All building operations should be done by the state architect, but in a number of cases work has been done by outside architects whose fees amount to a very considerable sum of money — much more in fact than the total amount asked for in this contingent fund. With proper funds to reorganize this depart- ment to properly take care of the work of the state, there is no question but that savings could be made all along the line as by properly handling the work there will be no waste. 216 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY.

The appropriation of 1913 (chap. 713) was for $10,000 but a larger appropriation should be made for the year 1914 so that additional assistance can be called in if necessary in order to complete the work within the time provided for by the statute. If a. sufficient appropriation iB made it is believed that the work of simplification can be completed as directed by the legis- lature and within the time required. The surrogates' court practice bill be made a separate act. It contains many references to the present code of civil pro- cedure. It will be necessary to have these references supplied and the whole procedure in surrogates' courts rounded out. It may be deemed advisable to submit this work to some one especially skilled in that practice and ample funds should be provided therefor if this course is deemed advisable, to hasten the completion of the work. What has been said with reference to the surrogates' court practice applies with equal force to the justices' court practice. GENERAL — COUNTY TREASURERS.

Canal Fund — Department of Public Works — continued. EXPLANATORY NOTES BY DEPARTMENT. No increases in salaries are asked excepting in items 2 and 3, for the deputy superintendent and the assistant to the deputy, and in the case of three of the clerical force, where an increase of $100 per year each is provided. The increased allowances for items 2 and 3 are asked in view of the increased responsibilities and additional duties placed upon the two officials, not only on account of the natural increase of the department's business but also the gradual completion of the new barge canal sections, bringing with them new conditions and problems. This item provides for 3 employees, to care for one of the $100 increases referred to above, the employee thereby being promoted from the 7th grade to the 8th grade. No provision therefore is made for this employee in item 10, 7th grade, the number of employees being reduced from 6 to 5. Item 11, 6th grade. This shows an increase of $100 for 1 employee. It will be noted that with the slight increases asked for salary allowances, the department's requisition for salary appropriations shows a reduction from that allowed in the current appropria- tions act of $1,283. It will be noted that the amount asked for collectors and compilers of statistics (item 19) namely, $5,530, is a reduction from the amount allowed for the same item in the current appropriations act of $1,425. 20 It will also be noted that the amount asked in item 20, namely, $3,640 is a reduction from the amount allowed in the present appropriations act for the same purpose, of $1,658, or a total gross decrease from last year's requisition of $3,083. This has been accomplished by a reorganization of the bureau for the collection of canal statistics, and at the same time the amount of service has been lengthened to a seven months naviga- tion season so as to meet conditions which it is expected will exist during the summer of 1915. 21 For locktending and ordinary repairs of the canals, $900,000. This is the amount allowed in the current appropriations act. It is expected that practically the entire Barge Canal system will be in operation by the season of 1915, provision for which must be made in this requisition. The operation and maintenance of the new and enlarged canal must of necessity be greater than that required to maintain and operate the present canal, which is but one-half its size. It is, of course, impossible at this time to make accu- rate estimate of the amount which will be required, but in viev of the experience had during the past season in dealing with conditions on many miles of completed waterway, I am. con- vinced that at least the sum asked must be allowed for this purpose. The remaining items are fixed charges, and are of the same amounts that have been annually appropriated by the legislature. BUREAU OF CANAL AFFAIRS— COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE.

This position since its creation lias paid $2,500 and, therefore, the increase shown in the proposed appro- priation bill for 1914 is not an increase in the salary. 9 Item shown as item 9 — one eighth grade employee — is to take care of a reasonable advance in a seventh grade employee, which advance has already been made in that position. 12 Item No. 12, increase from four to six employees, is made neces- sary on account of the advancement of lower grade employees to this grade, as will be shown by the reduction in item No. 14, one employee. You will note that the number of employees shown in the grades mentioned between items Nos. 9 and 15, in- clusive, has not been increased. 17 Item No. 17 has been increased $1,800 on account of the addition by the highway law of three new division offices. 18 Item No. 18 has been increased $1,000 on account of the highway law increasing the number of division engineers to nine whose expenses are chargeable to this appropriation. 19 Item No. 19 is increased $10,000, and is deemed to be necessary on account of the highway law increasing the number of division offices from six to nine and the necessary equipment for same, and for the further reason that the appropriation for this item shown in chapter 546 of the laws of 1912, covering the fiscal year ending September 30, 1913, was insufficient for the purpose as is shown by an analysis of the expenditure of that appropriation. 20 Item No. 20 shows an increase of $1,000 as the corresponding item in the present appropriation bill has been shown to be insufficient to meet the requirements of the department for this purpose. It is largely used for the purpose of supplying stenographic services while the regular stenographers in the department are on vaca- tions, and is necessary. 21 Item No. 21 is included in this bill in order to meet the require- ments of chapter 481 of the laws of 1912, the comptroller claim- ing that a special appropriation must be made to this department if employees are to be reimbursed as provided in the above chapter. BUREAU OF AUDIT AND FINANCE. 25 Item No. 25 has been increased from 2 to 4 employees to provide for a reasonable advance in employees in this bureau in the lower grades; as you will note item No. 26 is reduced from 2 to 1 employee. 27 Item No. 27 is increased from 2 to 3 employees to provide for 1 additional employee in this bureau which is made necessary by the increase in maintenance expenditures and the increase in the number of division offices as provided by the highway law. As the highway work progresses the work in this bureau increases in proportion, and it is necessary that the number of employees should be increased from time to time in order to keep up the work. BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY. Department of Highways — continued. 233 EXPLANATORY NOTES BY DEPARTMENT. BUREAU OF MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. 30 Item No. 30 shows an increase of $50. occasioned by an error in the appropriation shown in chapter 792 of the laws of 1913, which should have shown $2,750 salary for this position, as it has paid that amount since its creation and is not an increase in salary but is for the purpose of correcting the error. 31 Item No. 31 is a change from 10th grade as shown in chapter 792 of the laws of 1913, to a designation as confidential secretary to the second deputy as provided by the civil service, and the salary increased from $2,400 to $2,500. You will please note that 1 9th grade employee, $2,100; 20 7th grade employees, $30,000; and 1 1st grade "employee, $360, have been eliminated. Also that item No. 36 has been reduced from $10,000 to $2,000, and that the item appearing in chapter 792 of the laws of 1913 for traveling expenses of 20 highway inspectors, $20,000, has been eliminated entirely, it being the intention of the commission to pay the salaries and expenses formerly provided for by these items from the maintenance and repair funds and not from the highway improvement fund, believing that it is improper that the highway improvement fund should be charged with the salary and expenses of employees who are unquestionably performing maintenance and repair work. 37 Item No. 37 has been increased from $3,000 to $5,000 for the reason that the appropriation of $3,000 has been found to be insuffi- cient for the purposes intended, on account of the very large increase in the maintenance work in the last 2 years. BUREAU OF TOWN HIGHWAYS. 45 Item No. 45 has been increased from $2,000 to $3,000 as the forme* appropriation has been shown to be insufficient for the purposes of the appropriation. You will please note that the total amount of the appropria- tion asked for by this department for 1914 is $279,332, as com- pared with the amount shown in chapter 792 of the laws of 1913 amounting to $332,732, and chapter 546 of the laws of 1912 amounting to $310,922, a very material reduction. 234 BUDGET REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY.
