INTRODUCTION

The Indiana Year Book was provided for and established by the General Assembly of 1917 and the first volume was issued in 1918. The present volume covers the fiscal year ending September 30, 1918. The Year Book is designed to present in a concise and compact form the activities of each department of the state government for the year last preceding. Each office, board, commission, bureau and department maintained wholly or partly by state funds is required to submit a report to the Governor not later than December 1st, setting forth the duties, functions, personnel, expenditures, income and the character and extent of the achievements and activities of the department during the fiscal year last preceding. These reports are then edited and standardized for publication by the Legislative Reference Bureau. In the present volume, these official reports constitute 736 pages and the remainder of the book is devoted to a discussion of local government, including counties, townships, cities and towns, together with such agricultural, economic, financial and social statistics as seem to be of most general importance. As the Year Book is designed as a manual of the state government, it is hoped that copies may be made available to all citizens of the state, and particularly that all public officials, newspapers, libraries, schools and colleges may be amply supplied. Twenty thousand copies of the 1918 Year Book have been issued, and persons who are interested may obtain copies free of charge by applying in person or by mail to the Legislative Reference Bureau, State House, Indianapolis.

JAMES P. GOODRICH,

Governor of the State of Indiana.
