Excerpt from The History of Appropriations in the Legislative Session of 1916, New York State

Obviously one of the first necessities of such a survey is a study of the way in which the legislature of the state of New York formulates and passes bills carrying charges on the public treas ury. The task of making this study was assigned to Mr. Birl E. Shultz, who was equipped for the undertaking by two years of graduate work in politics and administration in Columbia Uni versity and by numerous assignments in the Bureau of Municipal Research to problems involving legislative procedure and meth ods. After preparing himself for the task by an examination of the available literature on the subject, Mr. Shultz went to Albany and day after day watched the proceedings of the legislature from the lobbies and galleries (and from the floor on some occa sions), observing closely the actual process of appropriating public money so far as that was visible to anyone not a member of the legislature itself. In addition to his personal observations, he secured all of the records including a stenographic report of the debate in the senate on the general appropriation bill.
