This yields a total of $41,400,000 a year. The investigation was conducted by Hiram S. Brown, NRA budget director. The figures are not final and the indications are that the total will be reduced when com- plete organizations are formed under the codes. Exact estimates are difficult to make, as code assessments are not all the same. However, for 352 budgets, it was readily ascertained that the assessment amounted to l19th of 1 per cent of the annual sales volume, making thq cost of code administration $38,118,000 for coded indus. tries doing a business of $70,' 380,000,000 a year. Only 14 budgets provided for an expense as ligh as 1 per cent of the annual sales volume, or more.
