Division V. — Transportation. 



The manuscript for the first volume of Dr. B. H. Meyer's final 

 report is practically ready for publication, except for checking and 

 re-reading. It covers the period down to about the middle of the 

 century. 



The following volumes have been published since the last report: 



Railroad Finance: By Frederick A. Cleveland and Fred. Wilbur Powell. New 

 York, pp. XV + 463, 1912. (This is the second volume of a study on railroad 

 finance made under an arrangement with Dr. Cleveland and subsidized in 

 part by the Division of Transportation.) 



The Granger Movement: 1870 1880. By Solon J. Buck. No. xix of the Harvard 

 Historical Studies, xi+384, 1913. 



Of the monographs mentioned in earlier reports as having been 

 undertaken, two have been practically completed, namely: 



Transportation on the Great Lakes. By G. G. Tunnell. 



The Development of Transportation in the Pacific Northwest. By Frederick A. 

 Young. 



It is doubtful if the others will be finished, since for various reasons 

 the authors have found their plans interfered with. 



Division VI. — Domestic and Foreign Commerce. 



No monographs have been published in this division since the 

 first of September 1912. 



The volume upon the History of the Coastwise Commerce, by 

 Assistant Professor Thomas Conway, jr., is completed. There is no 

 unfinished work. Dr. T. W. Van Meter, Professor G. G. Huebner, 

 and Mr. D. S. Hanchett, who has been added to the list of Professor 

 Emory R. Johnson's assistants, are working on the final draft of the 

 volume on Domestic and Foreign Commerce. Professor Johnson 

 writes : 



These men have been at work this summer and have agreed to continue 

 their assistance until all the chapters of the volume are in my hands. I 

 personally wrote the first quarter of the volume; the other three-fourths 

 of the volume will be written under my supervision by these three assistants, 

 whose work I will edit and rewrite to the extent that may be necessary or 

 advisable. My plan is to submit the volume not later than June first of 

 next year; possibly it can be submitted a little earlier than that. 



Division VII. — Money and Banking. 



Professor Davis R. Dewey writes as follows: 



There is practically little further work tc be done by assistants, the com- 

 pletion of the task being almost entirely dependent upon my own services. 

 I greatly regret that I can not report any very definite constructive progress 

 during the past year. I have continued to work upon the subject and am 

 devoting what time and strength I can during the summer. Unfortu- 

 nately, during the past year I was incapacitated for several weeks by illness 

 and only recently have gained strength which permits me to do very much 

 additional work.
