INVENTORY OF SUPPLIES MADE

Line on What Has Been Purchased
for the office Under SuIIings and
The Audit SYSTEM Regime.

Profound secrecy surrounds the investi-
cation at the Government Printing Office
by ". S. Rossiter and his corps Of FIVE
assistants. The Presidents chief prober
was too busy yesterday 10 be interviewed
but sent word that the investigation was
progressing at a satisfactory rate Of
speed. considering the immensely Of the
task.
II is understood that a complete inven-
tory Of the supplies and machinery re-
Gently purchased has been made by the
three supply experts, Messrs. Fowler
Burch, and Schmeckebier, who are giving
this phase Of the G. P. o. affairs their
particular attention.
Going Over the Contracts.
These three experts are carefully going
over the contracts for all tie supplies
bought through Mr.. Stillings and The
Audit System. but if they have found
anything Of a suspicious character it has
not leaked out as yet. It is said that they
are experiencing difficulty in ascertain lining
the total cost Of many items. owing to
the system Of bookkeeping installed under
The Audit system.
It seems that under the old system the
totals could be found at a glance. but
that now each item is separated and has
to be picked out
p Too much red tape In the installation
and operation Of the mechanical equip
ment Of the Office is said TO be the cause
Of this difficulty. For instance. bolts
used in repairing press would be
charged as hardware. and if the wooden
supports of the press were replaced with
new ones they would be entered as wood
work and charged to the carpenter shop.
