General object (title of appropriation), date of acts, references to Statutes at Large, or to R vised Statutes, and estimated amount required for each detailed object. NOTE. The six preceding paragraphs represent segregation of one paragraph formerly carried in the legislative, executive, and judicial appropriation bill, as follows: For miscellaneous items and expenses of special and select committees, exclusive of salaries and labor, unless specifically ordered by the House of Representatives, the initial appropriation for which was $75,000 for many years; but it was found necessary each year to augment this with deficiency appropriations which considerably increased the appropriations for objects coming under this heading, the total appropriation for each year of the 10-year period from 1912 to 1921, inclusive, having been as follows: The average annual total appropriation for these objects was $193,602.80, the larger part of which was absorbed by four chief items included in the foregoing allocation, namely, expenses of special and select committees, reporting committee hearings, telegraph and telephone service, and expenses of funerals. In other words, the expenditures from this fund were more specific than they were miscellaneous. (See hearing on legislative, executive, and judicial appropriation bill, 1921, pp. 2344-2345). Hereafter, when a deficiency appropriation may be required for one of these specific purposes it can be more clearly differentiated than when under the designation of "Miscellaneous items.' The amounts estimated for the objects mentioned in the foregoing paragraphs are based approximately on the expenditures for the fiscal year 1921 for like purposes, the total appropriations for which were $235,000, after deducting $20,000 for restaurant equipment and other unusual expenditures, such as the funeral of the late Speaker Clark. The total amount estimated is $3,000 less than the annual average for 10 years, or $190,000; and as it can not be foreseen exactly what demands upon these funds may be made by authorizations of the House or by future conditions the expenditures may be more or less accordingly. These figures, however, furnish as nearly accurate bases as possible upon which to make initial appropriations for all objects heretofore embraced within the classification of "Miscellaneous items."
