THE BUREAU OF ENGRAVING.
Immense Amount of Work Done Dur
ing the Year.

shf the
Acting Director Thomas Sullivan, of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, has
submitted to Secretary Gage his annual
report for the year ended June 30.
During that time the Bureau, which is
the largest establishment of its kind in
the world, surpassed even its previous
records FOR output. 1t produced llG.9o9,-
423 sheets of printed matter. The aver
age number of employees was 1899. The
average yearly production of each en-
ploye was IS ,ss4 sheets, which was
greater than at any previous time in the
history of the Bureau. save for last year.
when the average production was 400
sheets more. AS wages have been some
what increased during the year. the cost
of production has grown from $3.50 TO
$17.20 thousand sheets.
The work of the Bureau has had an
unusually wide scope during the past
year. The new national banking laws
have encouraged the formation of many
banks, and they have required Cos face
plates, with which to print currency
notes. The average cost of the plates as
executed at the Bureau was trifle more
than $40. The demand for postage stamps
to be used in Porto Rico. Cuba, Guam.
and the Philippines also put much work
upon the Bureau.
Among the items in the report are
charges for the steel portrait plates us-d
in the memorial volumes issued by Con-
gress on the death OF a member -Four
such plates were made during the year
They were for Congressman W. F. Love,
Nelson Dingley, Denis NJ. Hurley, and X.
p. Bland. The cost of the plates ranged
from $2S7 to $40.
Among other items is ''l,535 sheets OF
Dewey home fund certificates, furnished
to the committee on the Dewey home.
