{"value"=>"<p>Treasury Division books were kept by the Accounting Department, which prepared and issued statements and operating reports and managed the collection and disbursement of funds. The fourteen volumes offer examples of the type of books maintained by this department in the performance of these accounting duties. Information on costs during the formative months of the Corporation can be found in early expense ledgers and an invoice and voucher register. Separate payroll registers for male and female workers offer a means of comparing the differential in the rate of pay. A payroll register of the 1940 season includes pay for executive, weekly and hourly workers and records Grover Whalen's $75,000 annual salary, a 25 percent reduction of his 1939 pay. Finally, voucher registers from 1938-1940 charting daily disbursement of funds by amount and account, reduce the complex financial operation of the Fair to an enumeration of its discrete expenses.</p>"}
