1916. General Statistics of Cities, including statis- 

 tics of parks, playgrounds, museums and art galleries, 

 zoological collections, music and entertainments, swim- 

 ming pools and bathing beaches, and other features of 

 the recreation service. Covered all municipalities of 

 30,000 and over. Copies can be had from the Govern- 

 ment Printing Office, Washington, D. C. 



Financial Statistics of Cities. These reports of the 

 Bureau of the Census show the expenditure for recrea- 

 tion in all cities of the United States of 30,000 popula- 

 tion and above. The statistics are segregated under 

 the heads of educational recreation; general recreation; 

 parks and trees; quasi-productive park enterprises. The 

 reports are issued annually. 



Reports of State Finance Departments. A number of 

 the state governments through their finance depart- 

 ments issue annually comprehensive financial statistics 

 of municipalities and counties. These reports usually 

 show the income and expenditure for recreation in each 

 municipality and county. They do not always segre- 

 gate the income and expenditure as between or among 

 public agencies conducting recreation activities, in 

 instances where in the same city two or more agencies 

 are conducting such activities. See Annual Report of 

 Financial Transactions of Municipalities and Counties 

 of California for the Year 1926, compiled by the State 

 Controller and published by the California State Print- 

 ing Office, for an excellent example of a report that 

 does show complete segregation of income and expendi- 

 ture for recreation.
