Division XI.— FEDERAL AND STATE FINANCE, INCLUDING TAXATION. 



Prof. Henry B. Gardner, of Brown University, like many other collabora- 

 tors, finds it very difficult to secure sufficient time for the work of the 

 Carnegie Institution of Washington on account of the pressure of academic 

 duties. He hopes, when his preliminary studies are in, to take a leave of 

 absence, which will enable him to devote himself for some time to the work 

 of completing his volume. The following list shows the present status of the 

 subsidiary studies which are being made for this division : 



Completed during the past year, but not published : 



History of clergy taxes and quit rents in Maryland, by Prof. Beverley W. Bond, jr., 

 Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana.

 Berkeley, California. According to the latest report from Professor Plehn, 

 this work is well advanced towards completion, but Professor Plehn has gone to 

 Europe for a year. 



Financial history of Connecticut. This was undertaken by Prof. Fred R, Fair- 

 child, of Yale University, but Professor Fairchild has given it up on account 

 of other investigation work and has turned it over to Mr. Henry F. Walradt, 

 a student at Yale, who will use the results of his study as a thesis for his doc- 

 tor's degree in June, 1910. 



Comparative study of the financial development of certain of the larger cities of 

 the country, by Oliver C. Lockhart, Ohio State University. A part of this
