A partial contents listing in the front of the volume lists some of the accounts and the number of the page on which they start. Following this, a loose typed sheet entitled, "Executive Department: Statement of appropriations available for the fiscal year 1904 and 1905" lists amounts appropriated for salaries, office expenses, Executive Mansion, and other expenses and cites the law by which each appropriation was made.
