National Budget On Its Expenditure Side, Harvey S. Chase, Massachusetts Society Of Certified Public Accountants

Individual and Corporate Publications

Mr. Chairman, I have prepared no formal statement for this meeting, in fact, I have had no time for it, but I have had these printed Summaries of the United States Budget struck off, and they will give you an idea of a portion of the work which the Commission on Economy and Efficiency has been doing in the line of preparing a governmental budget for the next fiscal year. These summaries exhibit the expenditure side of the budget solely, and cover the financial year beginning July 1st, 1913.

Brief History Of Telephone Accounting: A Lecture Delivered To The Students Of The Amos Tuck School Of Administration And Finance, Associated With Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H., Charles Gilbert Du Bois

Individual and Corporate Publications

While so much has been written about the legal, technical, commercial and statistical features of the rapid and tremendous expansion of the telephone industry, no general survey of the rise and development of the accounting methods followed in this industry has been attempted heretofore. In the following pages my attempt to do this has no pretension as a formal historical study and while it brings together in some chronological order the main points in the development of telephone accounting its emphasis is more particularly on the character and growth of the relations of the accounts to the industry itself and …

Uniform Classification Of Accounts For Street Railways, Montana. Public Service Commission

State Publications

This classification of accounts follows closely the classification prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission for electric railways. Where departures have been made it was with the intent to more clearly show conditions in this state, or, in an endeavor to simplify the accounts without, however, in any way interfering with their integrity. Owing to the difference in size of railways, it is possible that a more detailed classification than that herein prescribed may be desired, in which event such additional detailed accounts, as may be deemed advisable may be opened, but they must not be rearranged or combined in any …

Utilization Of Net Income, Harrison Standish Smalley

Individual and Corporate Publications

In the management of every corporation the question of dividends is a perennial one, recurring regularly at periods varying from three months to a year, according to the practice of the particular corporation. The question is, whether dividends shall be declared, that is, whether any of the receipts of the company shall be divided among the owners of the business, and if so, how large an amount shall be thus distributed.

Office And Accounting System For The Accounting Profession, Walter C. Wright

Individual and Corporate Publications

In taking up the question of accounting methods for professional accountants, we must needs advance cautiously, for we are addressing our colleagues, and they may regard our suggestions as superfluous, but we may proceed boldly, for we are speaking to ourselves, and we know our deficiencies. A milliner is frequently so busily engaged in decorating the heads of other women that she neglects a reasonable attention to her own. The cobbler's children are still faulty in their footwear, and the physician has yet to heal himself. There are frequently, we presume, personal or professional considerations which determine the principals or …

Cost Finding In The Cloak And Suit Industry, Philip Frankel, National Cloak, Suit, & Skirt Manufacturers' Association. Welfare Committee, Morris A. Black

Individual and Corporate Publications

How can the man making cloaks reduce his expenses, reduce his costs? This is the practical question. If a cost system does not help him to do this it is no good, time and money are wasted keeping it up. In order to find out where money can be saved, we divide all expenses under three general divisions: Materials, Labor, Charges. But it is important to know whether as to all garments which item costs most, materials or labor or charges. In the cloak business the chief item of expense is materials not labor or charges, and usually materials constitute …

Twentieth Century Brewery Accounting, Allen R. Smart

Individual and Corporate Publications

The up-to-date brewer is compelled to follow the precepts of other manufacturers and give careful attention to the accounting system and ascertain accurate costs in each department, in order to successfully show satisfactory profits. It is no longer sufficient to know the cost of brewing, distribution, taxes, administration expenses and interest per barrel, but it is essential for the modern brewery manager to know the cost for each department, separately, before he can hope to successfully compete with other concerns. He must know exactly, what it costs per barrel in wagons for city keg beer; what it costs in the …

Efficiency In Public Management, Frederick Albert Cleveland

Individual and Corporate Publications

In a word my conclusion is this: that more than any private business or undertaking, the public office is in need of agencies which may develop complete, accurate, and prompt information about the business in hand; that efficient administration depends on the erection of well-equipped conning towers; that without instruments of precision, not only is the officer handicapped, but the public is without the means of making government responsible; between the government and the people is an impassable gulf and an impenetrable darkness, which produce discontent and suspicion, on the one hand, and deprive the officer of his support necessary …

Brewery Accounting: The Study Of The Accounts Of A Modern Brewery, George Wilkinson

Individual and Corporate Publications

With the science of Brewing still in process of development, with many clever men and deep students devoting their lives to working out the problems that beset the practical Brewer, we find the books of account of some Breweries to be still in the medieval ages. The bookkeeper jogs along from week to week, until the end of the fiscal year is reached; then come the annual inventory and the closing of the books. A modern cost system of bookkeeping is one that will show the cost per unit in each department. This is easy of accomplishment in a. Brewery, …

When the new St. Paul Hotel of St. Paul. Minn., opened in April, 1910, it was fully equipped with National Cash Registers.

This system has now been in operation for more than two years and has done the work expected of it. That this is the most complete hotel auditing system ever devised, will be understood by reading this book. It is based entirely …
