The report Of Mr.. George Il. McCartee, Chief
of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing of the
Treasury Department, for the fiscal year ending
June S0th, 1871, has been transmitted to Secre-
tary Boutwell,. The report shows that there
have been completed and delivered by the bu-
reau perfect bonds. notes and securities amount
ing to $3.50, 4S3 $500, and 104, 40 2S6 perfect
customs and internal revenue stamps: also sun

ment, amounting TO So, 5106f There has been
paid to the American, National and Continental
Bank Note Companies, of New York for print
pany, for the transportation of partially printed
bonds and notes from New York to Washington
S45,5J0.90. The legal tender notes of the first
issue have been almost entirely replaced by those
Of the new issue, or "Series of 1862"
Mr.. McCartce says" The adoption of the
Localized and Disiributive Fibre paper now
used in printing the bonds, notes, securities aud
stamps has, without doubt afforded the govern
meas and the public very great security and
sues. During the fiscal years ending 3Oth June
1870 and 1871, about sixty millions of sheets OF
special or colored fibre paper have been received
and used in printing the government securities
and revenue stamps, without the loss of sheet
or part of a sheet. 80 /
On the Goth June, 1870, there were employed
in this Bureau 962 employees, consisting prInci-
pally Of engrayers, transferrers, plate and sur
face printers, cutters, machinists, examiners,
counters, trimmers, separators, needlers, and
press hands. On the 30th june, 1911 the mum
Der was reduced to TAI, owing to the decrease OF
work. In general, my assistants and employcs
have been faithful and attentive to their duties
and the interests Of the government.
