Mr.. Burnes MISSY called NJ
the urgent Dc hciency bull for public
printing, reported yesterday from thu
Committee on Appropriations.
In the course OF brief dscussior
Mr.. Burnes said that he wonld no
now attempt to review the action o
the present public printer. TIL,
House would have an opportunity I,
review his action and attempts at re
form before the session expired. Tn
present incumbent had not crms int
Office at the beginning OF the g Oh
year, and whether the fault for tn
deficiency belonged to him or to hi
predecessor need not now be consider
ed. II was sufficient to say that h
public printer was confident that i
the future he could do all the publ
printing for S2,0O0,000, instead Of Il
100000, which heretofore had bee
expended.
