Book Description

Excerpt from First Administrative Report of the Directors of Departments Under the Civil Administration Code: Together With the Adjutant General's Report for the Year, July 1, 1917, to June 30, 1918 Under the Civil Administrative Code ninety-six Divisions report to the nine Departments. One of the main objects of the enactment of the Code was to unify administration and to centralize related powers and functions. There Seem to be one general and four specific functions underlying the entire Code. The general function is the improvement of conditions within the scope of the authority of the individual Departments. The four specific functions are: (1) Law enforcement; (2) superintend ence, control and maintenance; (3) supply, and (4) the educational function, in which information is secured, arranged and published. In the preparation of this report matter, it has been borne in mind that these functions are basic in administrative government under the Code, and more weight has been given to the manner in which the Division or Department has functioned than to statistical tables or other minutiae. We have prepared, therefore, and herewith submit in condensed form a statement showing, for the year July 1, 1917, to June 30, 1918, the activities under our administrative supervision.
