|MacVEAGH SHOWS
$l,644,500 SAVING
Secretary of Treasury and His Assistants Hope Report
Total $3,577,5 500 Reduction in Expendi-
lures at End of Term.

Franklin MacVeagh. Secretary Of the
Treasury, and his subordinate officials
in the department have effected a saw
| ing of $1,644,5O0 during Mr.. MacVeagh's
administration. and are working on
plans to make an additional saving of
81, $4,000. according to a statement is
sued today by A. Piatt Andrew. Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury.
Economy all along the line has made
this saving possible, and when present
plans are worked out Secretary Mac
Veagh hopes to show a grand total of
savings of $3,557,50O. One of the most
remarkable features of the reform in
stituted in every branch of the Treasury
Department is that no office has been
too small and no item too insignificant
TO receive the attention of the men
delegated by the Secretary to substitute
economy for extravaganza, and bust
ness methods for governmental red tape.
Washing Machine Rags.
For instance, these Investigators
have found a new way of washing the
rags with which the machinery in the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing is
wiped each day. Experiments demon
strated that by using a certain solution
the life of each rag was prolonged. By
washing the rags in this solution the
department has been able to save 800
in the purchase of wiping cloths.
Cutting down the size of the Internal
revenue stamps enabled Director Ralph,
of the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing, to save money on the engraved
plates and on the paper on which they
are printed, while in the Treasury De-
partment itself the method OF handling
these stamps was simplified, so that on
the printing and handling Secretary
MacVeagh is able to show a saving OF
S155, 200.
Before the economy committee went
to work in the Treasury Department
the numbering, sealing, and separating
of United States notes. gold and silver
certificates, at the bureau required sew
eraI operations, and the notes were
handled by several sets of employees.
Now the notes are handled in one ope-
ration, and the service of 130 employees
who were engaged in duplicating work
have been transferred to other work in
the department. The saving in this
branch of the work alone is $l32,COO.
Useless Positions Eliminated.
The greatest item of saving was In
the elimination of useless positions in
the department, making a saving Of
S356, 900. Although it was necessary TO
abolish a large number of positions to

Engineer Takes Blazing
Locomotive to Station

MAIDEN, Mass, Jan. 7.-Seated in a
blazing cab, Engineer Goodwin brought
a Boston and Main locomotive attached
to six crowded passenger cars into the
Faulkner station and then turned in a
fire alarm. The blaze was extinguished
and the train proceeded.
A break in the mechanism allowed a
quantity of water to fall in the firepot
causing a small explosion. This threw
hot Goals into the cab, setting fire to
the curtain and starting the plaze:
Though burned about the face and
hands, Goodwin stuck to his post until
the train reached Faulkner.

save this amount, scarcely an employe
has actually been discharged. The Sec
retary has met this situation by refus-
ing to cali on the Civil Service Commis-
sion for new employees, and holding all
vacancies open for men and Wo'a :,
whose positions already had been abol-
ished or who were expected TO be
eliminated In the working out of the
reform. \ - e.. s
doing away with the antiquated method
of handling gold and silver coins at the
mints and assay Offices. Instead OF
hand weighing these coins and handllng
them separately, automatic feeders nave
been installed on the coin presses and
other readJustments made, with the re-
suit that there has been saving OF
$229, 900. ...
One of the big items of saving has
been the miscellaneous improvements IN
machinery and methods in the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing, where the
installation of modern machinery and
the economical handling OF the business
there has made possible saving OF
$216,00O. - ..
Mails Helped In Saving.
Taking advantage of the mails instead
of using the express companies and can
ceiling unfit currency at the subtreas-
uries instead of at Washington brought
about a saving of $4,000. Improved
methods of administration in the Reve-
nue. Cutter Service and the Life Saving
Service and the abandonment OF old ana
unnecessary quarantine stations makes
an annual saving of $l30OOC; changes IN
forms and elimination of unnecessary
printing and binding saves $72,uo' ana
the elimination of unnecessary counting
of money in the Division or Loans anu
Currency saved Al,OO.
OF the reforms contemplated the most
important Is that changing the size OF
the currency. Congress has not yet au-
thorized this change, and it is being op-
posed by the labor unions, but II SecTe-
tary MacVeagh gets legislation TO au-
thorize this reduction in the size OF cur
rency he will be able to save $92S,VOo.
Laundered Paper Money.
Experimenting with laundered notes
has now progressed TO a point where
the department is about ready to begin
that work. which will enable it to re-
issue notes now redeemed and destroy
ed. This reform alone will result IN
saving of half a million dollars.
Still further improvements in ma
chinery and methods at the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing now contem-
plated will result in an estimated saw
ing of Sl25,0OO, while the elimination OF
unnecessary positions and reductions IN
the appropriations for miscellaneous
items for the fiscal year beginning July
l. 1911 together with reorganization OF
the accounting system of the treasury
Department by the consolidation OF the
six auditing Offices under one head VIII
