CUTTING DOWN BLANK FORMS.
Trying to Eliminate Red Tape From
the Government Printerv.


One of the last official acts of Harry F.
the government printing office was to fill
the first reduisition of Public Printer
Leech for copies of the large number OF
blanks of different kinds that were de-
vised and printed at the behest of the
Audit System. Mr.. Ashton burned mid
night oil in preparing in regular order
copies of the several blanks and forms,
and wrote a history of each for refer
ence Following this duty he was notlhed
that his services were no longer required
In the government printery. Gong 10
Chicago, he participated in the huriy-
burly of the republican national conven-
ton and was selected as one OF It's as
sistant Sergeants- at-armS.
Falling in line with departmental elm
nation of useless blank forms the gov
eminent printing office list of blanks is
being closely scrutiniZed with view 10
discarding those not absolutely required
1t is said that over 300 blank ferns were
devised for the use of the big printery
in the past two years, many of Whlcn
were practically duplicates, except In
minor wording or size. A serious ob)ec-
ton to many of these blanks is SAID TO De
the requirement of approval by sew
eral different officials of the office. many
of whom have had no opportunity OF verl-
fying the correctness of the lnformatloh
certified to.
1t is believed that much red tape will be
cut out in the handling of packages ana
excused passes and routine permits ana
that they will be relegated to the waste
basket.
A complete set of blanks has been col
lected, each bearing a statement OF the
uses to which it is assigned. together
with information as to the desirabllity OF
continuing it. 1t will require seVeral
DAYS for the employees detailed on this
work to determine the relative value or
all the blanks in use in the printery and
prepare recommendations as to the final
disposi.i On of the forms In use.
