In order TO afford opportunity for the In
PRODUCTION of more hat-bed presses, Acting
Public Printer Ricketts, has ordered the
removal of the large speech" press to the
specif1ca ton press room 1t Is understood
that other changes will be made in the
disposition of the press work, machines
requiring the use of large quantities of
paper being installed in the old building to
facilitate the production of large runs"
Not only is delivery made more convenient,

national banks to which charters have been
issued by the government since the passage
of the national bank law. The list gives
the present condition of the different banks
and the cause of suspension of those now

issued to national banks since the organ
iZation of that financial system.
