132 THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE 



the War Department. Since that date all appropriations have 

 been made under the Department of the Interior with the ex- 

 ception of SuIIys Hill Park which receives appropriations 

 under the Department of Agriculture. In addition the Na- 

 tional Park Service benefits from the appropriation to the De- 

 partment of the Interior for "contingent expenses" of the de- 

 partment. 



In the table immediately following the "appropriations to 

 the national parks" include only the regular appropriations 

 made by Congress, but do not include the revenues of the 

 parks. No account is taken of certified claims which are gen- 

 erally small. In the statement showing expenditures the items 

 are figured on the accrual basis, with the exception of 1920 

 which is figured on the cash basis, and include the amounts 

 spent out of the revenues and out of the regular appropriations 

 of the parks. The item "additional compensation" includes 

 the bonus received by the National Park Service in Washing- 

 ton and in the field.
