This Investigation will probably re-

of the several statistical bureaus of the
government so that part of the work
of one bureau NAV be transferred tc
another branch of the department.
The statistical work of the govern

of a growth which has not ALWAYS

the nature of the work Of the several
bureaus is concerned. In some cases
