BULKY ANNUAL REPORTS. The various
bureau officers are engaged in preparing their
annual reports, and many of them have been
submitted. The heads of divisions complain of
the same old trouble, that the reports are too
long and cover too much space. Each bureau
officer is of the opinion that his special work
and needs are the most t, important in the gov
to expand and enlarge the scope of the bureaus
The consequence is that the annual reports of
the departments are bulky and the pages are
laden with tables and tabulated statements
which have but little value. There is to be
made an effort this year to reduce these reports
In size, but 1T Is doubtful whether it will be
successful. One chief of division proposes to
begin his annual report by stating that corrup-
ton and fraud permeated all parts of the par
has charge, and that his first effort was directed
TO correcting these abuses. Long reports, how
ever, are not among these corrected abuses.
