NEW ACENTI " HETHIDS URGED Dr. Seidemann . Suggests Ways of Improving Records of U. S. Expenses. Dr. Henry P. Seidemann, of the In- | stitute of Governmental Accounting | and the Brookings Institute, one of the foremost American authorities on gov- | ernmental and fiscal relations through | accounting, gave a most interesting and | practical talk on “Problems of Govern- | ment Accounting” at the monthly meet- | ing of the Washington Chapter of the National Association of Cost Account- ants With & practical experience dating back to the period before the Federal Government had a budget, when the Reclamation Service was ustng a budget under another name, Dr. Seidemann quickly proved that simple zccounting shows duplication of expense. These, when expressed in costs per unit of product or service, place before man- agement the information that leads the way for the elimination of certain | activities and the reduction of expendi- tures. This phase of accounting today takes on & new significance when taxes have to be lowered. New Methods Adopted. | ‘The urgent necessity of a newer | use of Government accounting and the need of accountants with a broader view of changing functions of govern- ments was explained by Dr. Seidemann He also suggested that the results of such sccounting studies of govern- mental costs should be and in many s have been translated into legis- tion that will modernize and liberalize fscal administration of our cities, States and other political units. Prom the viewpoint of the cost ac- eountant the grouping of expenses in terms of work dome and the quantity and quality of such effort was enlight- ening. It is quite easy ouping of similar services to a classi- gcauon of receipts and expenses which when defined makes comparisons worth- while. These comparisons quietly show defects to be eliminated or adjusted o well as efficiency to be commended. Dr. Sefdemann listed the following as s odern grouping of governmental ac- ecounting: (1) funds, (2) organization gybits, (3) functions and activities, ) b of expenditures and (5) char- and sources of revenue. The speaker stated that “if the con- frolling suthority, the Chief Executive, s really to perform his function of di- rection, supervision and control, and the administrator his function of seeirg that work undertaken is {rrme(‘uted eftectively, it is essential that they shall have before them the statements showing expenditures and receipts clas- sified from each of the six standpoints.” Changes Recommended. Since governmental accounting s essentially based on the acts of State Legislatures and Congress, Dr. Seide- mann stressed the need of constructive criticism of organisation, structure and responsibility of personnel. He said that the Federal Government has not the simple kind of financial state- ments that would give eitiher the President or Congress all the financial data that could give a true picture of the Government finances—due to the lzck of a central control system of ac- counts. He recommended that all gen- era] aecounting and reporting functions be placed under the President. He pinised the passing of the economy act. In an open forum discussion was perticipated in by Messrs. James P. Gri~e, formerly president of the Dis- trict Institute of Certified Public Ae- ccuntants; Howard C. Beck of H. C. Beck & Co., Inc.. Harold C. Anderson of Marwell' Mitchell & Co. and J. Darlington Denit of the General Ac- counting office. The next meeting will be held Wed- nesday April 19, when Dr. A. Manusl Fox, chief economist, United States Tariff Board, will discuss “Joint and By-Product Costs.” TWO MEN WHO ESCAPED PRISON ARE RECAPTURED Paie Flod Jessups Institution on Fire Truck—Taken at 8t.

Electric domestic rates are 33% lower now, while the cost of living is still about 25% higher. The decline in rates cannot be so sharp as the recent drop in living costs, because utility expenditures consist largely of charges which eannot be reduced. Such a charge is interest on money loaned by bondholders for construction. Another is taxes, which have inereased twice as fast as revenue, and which now take more than ten cents of each dollar of revi enue. Rates per unit of use will continue to go down automatically as customers increase their use.
