Biographical History
The Office of the Chief Clerk, authorized by an act of April 20, 1818, was designated the Office of the Chief Clerk and Superintendent from 1871 until 1937. Its duties included supervising expenditures for furnishing, maintaining, and guarding public buildings outside the District of Columbia but under the Department's control until about 1910 when that function was assumed by the Office of the Supervising Architect; superintending Department-occupied buildings in the District until 1937 when that duty was transferred to the Office of the Superintendent of Treasury Buildings; controlling expenditures incurred by Government participation in expositions; and coordinating within the Department the work of boards, committees, and commissions, including the Committee on Personnel, 1911-19, the President's Commission on Economy and Efficiency, 1909-16, and the Treasury Improvement Committee, 1915-16.
Established in 1789; preceded by the U.S. Board of Treasury, 1776-1789.
In February, 1915, Congress provided $102,500 for the building of a United States Post Office in St. Petersburg, Florida. The postmaster at this time, Roy S. Hanna, pushed for an unconventional open air design which featured a structure surrounded by a loggia on three sides which provided 24-hour access to mailboxes. In 1915-1916, architectural drawings were completed by James A. Wetmore, supervisory architect for the United States Treasury Dept. The dedication ceremony was held on September 27, 1917.
Benjamin F. Flanders, a resident of New Orleans, Louisiana, before the Civil War, worked as a supervising special agent of the U.S. Treasury Department for the Gulf Coast States during Federal occupation. Appointed by the military, Flanders served as governor of Louisiana from 1867 to 1868. Felix Labatut was a former member of the Louisiana Secession Convention.
The Reconstruction Finance Corporation Act of January 22, 1932, and the Emergency Relief and Construction Act of July 21, 1932, authorized the Treasury Department to cooperate with the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in negotiating and granting loans to banks in need of financial aid. The Division of Research and Statistics and later the Office of the Technical Staff informed the Secretary on the financial status of individual banks and made recommendations concerning loans to the Corporation.
Commissioners of Claims (the Southern Claims Commission) were appointed by an act of March 3, 1871, to receive, examine, and consider claims of citizens in rebellious States who remained loyal to the Union during the Civil War for supplies confiscated for the use of the U.S. Army. An act of May 11,1872, authorized commissioners to appoint special agents to investigate pending claims, procure evidence, and examine witnesses. In March 1880 the last claim was reported to the Congress; the Commission was discontinued by an act of June 16, 1880.
Benjamin F. Flanders, a resident of New Orleans, Louisiana, before the Civil War, worked as a special agent of the U.S. Treasury Department for the Gulf Coast States during Federal occupation. Appointed by the military, Flanders served as governor of Louisiana from 1867-1868.
The Department of the Treasury was established by an act of September 2, 1789, which directed the Secretary of the Treasury to prepare plans for improving and managing revenues and supporting public credit, prepare and report revenue and expenditure estimates, superintend the collection of revenues, decide on forms for keeping and stating accounts and making returns, and grant all warrants for money issued from the Treasury. The functions of settling accounts and countersigning warrants for the War and Navy Departments were performed in those Departments from 1792 and 1798, respectively, until the responsibilities were returned in 1817 to the Treasury Department. An auditor who functioned as a Post Office official audited and settled accounts for the Post Office Department from 1836 to 1921. Functions relating to the settlement and adjustment of accounts were transferred to the General Accounting Office by the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921; those relating to the preparation of expenditure estimates were transferred to the Executive Office of the President in 1939.
In the 1890's, the federal government appropriated money for a major building program to construct federal courthouses and post offices. Jeremiah O'Rourke of the United States Treasury Dept. was the supervisory architect who prepared the architectural plans for the federal courthouse and post office building which was constructed in Tallahassee in 1893. It was demolished in 1964.
An act creating the establishment of customs districts and ports of entry, appointment of customs officers, etc. approved July 1789 (I. Stat. L., 29-49); informally known as Customs Service; created 59 customs districts in 11 states; U.S. Treasury Dept., estab. 1 month later in 1789 and the service automatically became part of the dept.; remained under direct control of Secy. of Treasury until Division of Customs created 1875
The Trading With the Enemy Act of October 6, 1917, provided for controlling and liquidating enemy insurance companies and licensing all other foreign insurance companies operating in the United States. Those responsibilites were assigned to the Secretary of the Treasury, who delegated them to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. The Bureau issued liquidating licenses to affected companies until those licenses were revoked November 7, 1918, and January 15, 1919; the Alien Property Custodian (see RG 131) took over the assets and affairs of the companies on November 18, 1918. The licensing of insurance companies other than those owned by enemies or allies of enemies was continued by the Bureau until 1920.
Benjamin F. Flanders, a resident of New Orleans, Louisiana, before the Civil War, was opposed to secession. He returned to New Orleans and worked as a supervising special agent of the U.S. Treasury Department for the Gulf Coast States during Federal occupation. Appointed by the military, he served as governor of Louisiana from 1867 to 1868. Edward Sparrow, an Irish immigrant, moved to Louisiana in 1831 and served as clerk of court of Concordia Parish in 1833 and as sheriff, 1834-1840. In 1861, Sparrow was elected to the Confederate Convention and was appointed to membership in the Provisional Congress.
