Annual appropriations:

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

The Secretary of the Treasury is charged by law with the management of the national finances; controls the coinage and printing of money, and the administration of the Coast Guard, the Public Health, Narcotics, Procurement, and Secret Services.

The 1936 estimate for the Office of the Secretary includes appropriations formerly carried under the Office of the Commissioner of Accounts and Deposits (Research and Statistical Division and Library only), Office of the Solicitor, Office of the Chief Clerk and Superintendent, Supply Division, and Appointments Division. Comparison of the consolidated appropriations for 1935 with the consolidated estimate for 1936 shows a net increase of $263,427. This net increase is accounted for as follows: Personal services, $25,162, due to transfer of certain employees from the rolls of the Commissioner of Accounts and Deposits and increasing the guard force by 10 employees; miscellaneous and contingent expenses, $172,640, due to additional power necessary to operate air-conditioning equipment and a 50-percent increase in cost of stationery; and printing and binding, $65,625, on account of the 40-hour week and increased cost of paper.

OFFICE OF COMMISSIONER OF ACCOUNTS AND DEPOSITS

It also includes the new consolidated disbursing agency, the Division of Disbursements. Comparison of the 1936 estimate with the combined 1935 appropriations indicates a net increase of $1,424,179 which is chiefly accounted for as follows: Division of Disbursements, $628,460, due to taking over the disbursing functions of the several executive departments and independent agencies (excluding military and naval disbursements); recoinage of silver coins, $700,000, and refunding of moneys erroneously received and covered, $76,850, indefinite appropriations which become annual appropriations under the Permanent Appropriation Repeal Act of

1934; and contingent expenses, public moneys, $25,000, due to continuation of policy insuring money shipments.

BUREAU OF CUSTOMS

The principal functions of this service are the collection of import duties and the prevention of smuggling.

There is a net increase of $2,316,454 in the estimate for salaries and expenses of the Bureau in order to augment internal-revenue collections, and a decrease of $5,000,000 under refunding internal-revenue collections.

BUREAU OF NARCOTICS

The Commissioner of Narcotics, under the direction and supervision of the Secretary of the Treasury, has general supervision of the enforcement of the Harriso narcotic law and related statutes, including the permissive features of the Narcotic Drugs Import and Export Act, and cooperates with other activities in the suppres sion of the abuse of narcotic drugs.

There is a decrease of $97,067 under this item.
