Annual reports of the War Department for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1905, Volume 14: Acts of the Philippine Commission (Nos. 1252-1407, inclusive) and public resolutions, etc., from September 1, 1904, to October 31, 1905

This volume comprises a collection of public laws and resolutions enacted by the Second Philippine Commission, the appointed legislative body that governed the Philippine Islands during the early American colonial period (1900-1916). The laws contained herein, covering the 1904-1905 fiscal period, are foundational documents that illustrate the establishment and consolidation of the civil government in the Philippines following the Spanish-American War. The Commission, first led by William Howard Taft, laid the groundwork for the modern Philippine bureaucracy, judicial system, and infrastructure through its legislative acts, impacting areas such as public finance, local government, and public education. The volume is an essential primary source for understanding the institutional and legal development of the country under American administration.

The book is considered valuable. It is advised that researchers use digital copy rather than physical books for preservation purposes.
