Hearings before Subcommittee of House Committee on Appropriations in charge of Interior Department Appropriation Bill for 1931`

This volume constitutes the official transcript of the United States House Committee on Appropriations hearings regarding the Interior Department's fiscal budget for 1931. Published by the Government Printing Office, these proceedings were conducted under the chairmanship of Louis C. Cramton, a representative from Michigan known for his diligent oversight of federal expenditures and natural resource management. Such transcripts were produced as a matter of legislative record to provide transparency into how public funds were allocated across various governmental bureaus and projects.

The design and production of this document follow the standardized typographic and archival conventions established for congressional hearings during the early 20th century. While not intended as a commercial release, the work reflects the sober, functional aesthetic of government documentation from the late Hoover administration. Its historical value lies not in artistic flair, but in its detailed account of the administrative priorities, departmental testimony, and economic concerns that defined federal governance on the precipice of the Great Depression.
