g. p. O. CoSTKEEPING.
Exact Expense Of Publications
Charged on Bills Rendered.

The costkeeping and audit system au-
thorized by the last Congress to be intro
duced in the government printing office is
gradually being put in operation, and for
the first time in many years bills are being
sent to the issuing offices for the exact
cost Of the printing Formerly an "esti-
mate" was given of the probable expense
OF printing any certain document and q
bill was rendered for the total Of the esti-
mate. plus a small per cent for executive
detail. To the surprise Of many Of the is-
suing offices, as one official Of the Office
put 1t, the bill now rendered may be small
er or larger than the preliminary "estf-
mate" of the probable expense It has
been found that on some of the work
turned out the Office was losing thousands
OF dollars. and on other publications the
reverse was true.
Employees Of the office are said to find
the new system of practically no bother,
and many say that a definite check on
their production is an incentive to more
rapid and accurate work. 1t has been dem
onstrated that the heads Of the various
grand divisions have ready means Of as
certaining the efficiency not only Of minor
employees. but Of the chiefs of divisions.
