A BIG JOB.

The action of the regular session of the
Twenty-sixth legislature in requiring all
departments to compile inventories OF tho
stock on hand" in each department and
branch OF the state government has not
only placed heavy burden on the re-
spective departments, but has fairly
swamped the secretary of states office,
as that department is the dumping ground
for the inventories from every branch
Once received by the secretary OF state
and these voluminous records have to be
recopied into file book F1om present
indications the summer Will be far spent
before this work is completed. II is es-
timated that Ii Will require two months
to copy the inventories Of the State peni-
tent!arles alone. owing to the immense
size of them.
