PRINTERS WASTE U. S. MONEY
EVIDENCE OF EXTRAVAGANCE
COSTING $4,000, 900 IN FIFTEEN
YEARS.

Washington Dec. 10-A complete in
quiry into the administration of affairs
at the government printing Office is to
be made this winter by the house COM
mittee on appropriations.
A member of congress noted for his
conservatism estimates that misman
agement, resulting in extravaganza
and all kinds Of criminal waste. has
cost the government in the last fifteen
years more than 100000.
Recently a subcommittee from the
house committee on appropriations
made an unofficial inspection of the
printing office, and the things they saw
there point unerringly to the conclu-
sion that there has for years been a
criminal waste of the public money in
printing office management. In an
unoccupied room there was found
stored away discarded type worth
$4,000 if sold for old lead, Most of
this type was in perfect condition. In
another room was found more than
10000 pounds of new type, bought ten
years ago and never taken out of the
boxes in which it was delivered. Dis
carded machinery worth thousands OF
dollars and in perfect condition was
found in rooms devoted to old junk.
