Cost Of Handling and Filing Core.
spondenee.
The reports also show not only a
very wide range in the methods OF
doing this comparatively simple part
If the government business. but an ex'
traordinary range in cost. For the
handling Of incoming mail the aver
ages Of cost by departments vary from
1854 to $S4.4O per 1000 For the han
ding of outgoing mail the averages by
departments vary from 1891 to $G3.S3
per 1000. This does not include the
cost Of preparation. but is confined
merely to the physical side of the
work. The variation between indi-
vidual offices is many times greater
than that shown for averages by de
partments.
1t has been found that differences Of
average cost by departments closely
follow differences in method and that
the greatest cost is found in the de
partment where the method is most
involved. Another fact Is Of interest
viz. that In the two departments above
referred to. which show the lowest
averages. orders have been issue:l
which will lead to large saving with
out impairing efficiency. 1t cannot be
said what the saving ultimately will he

the departments has been focused on

Need For Labor Saving Office Devices.
The use Of labor saving office devices
in the service has been made the sub
ject Of special inquiry. An impression"
prevails that the government il not
making use Of mechanical devices for
ecOnomizing labor to the same extent
as are efficiently managed private en-
terprises. A study has been made of
the extent to which devices Of this
character are now being employed In
the several branches Of the govern
ment and the opportunities that exist
for their more general use. In order
to secure information as to the various
kinds Of labor saving devices that are
In existence and as to their adaptable
ity to government work. an exhibition
of labor saving Office appliances was
held in Washington from July 6 to II.
1911. One hundred and ten manufac-
turers and dealers participated. and
more than 10000 officers and employees
visited the exhibition. There IS no
doubt that the exhibition served the
purpose of bringing to the attention Of
officers devices which can he employed
by them with advantage. The holding
Of this exhibition was. however. but u

hibited at its offices appliances that
were thought to be especially adapted
to this kind of government work. Fol-

brought about saving of over 20 per

Waste In Distribution Of Public Doeu
ments.
Going outside the Office. one of the
business processes which has been in
vestignted is the distribution Of depart
mental documents. This il IA subject
with which both the congress and adj
ministration heads are familiar. The
prevailing practice in handling depart
mental publications is to have them
manufactured ut the government priAt
ing Office. Each job when comp'"'"
Is delivered to the department. Il'te
the books or pamphlets ARE wrapped
ana addressed. They are then sent to
the postotlice. There they ne assorted
and prepared for shipmen, through the
mails. From the pOstot.cr they are
sent to the railroad station. which Is

The results Of this labor.ous and cir

Unnecessary Cost Of Insurance.
It is the policy of the government
not to insure public property against
fire and other losses. Question has
| been raised whether the government
might not apply the same principle to
other forms of risk, including insur-
ance of the fidelity of officials and EN-
ployees A report is now in prepare
ton on the subject which will show
opportunities for large savings. l be-
lieve that the present expense for in
surfing the faithful execution of con-
tracts. which. though paid by the con
tractor. is more than covered in the
added price to the government. can be
largely reduced without taking away
any element of security.
The importance of establishing and
maintaining standard specifications is
found not only in the possibility OF
very materially reducing the direct
| cost of government Trading. out also

government Of the advantage of broad
competition. but causes it to pay an
added margin in price to vendors. who
must carry the risk.
Excessive Cost Of Travel.
The annual cost of travel to the gov
eminent was found to be about $12.-
100000. 1t was also found that the
government employees were travelling
in practically every way that was
open to the public. 1t was further
found that. although the government
was the largest user Of transportation.
it was buying railroad tickets on a
less favorable basis 1than would be
possible II the subject Of travelling ex-
penditures were systematically ham
died from the point Of view Of the
government as whole. The form OF
ticket most often used between such
points as New York. Philadelphia and
Washington was the single trip first
class ticket. In two departments def
mite tests have been made in the use
Of mileage books. and in each prac-
tically the same result has been re-
ported-viz. an average saving Of lit
tie over one half Of cent per mile.
One Of the results or byproducts Of
this inquiry into travel expenses was
the recommendation that the jurat or
afidavit which is now required by or
der of the comptroller be discontinued.

formed in the several offices.
In another report the commission has
recommended the consolidation Of the
six auditing Offices of the treasury and
the inclusion in the auditing system OF
the seven naval officers who now audit
customs accounts at the principal ports.
The changes recommended will improve
in many ways the auditing Of public
accounts and will result in an immedi-
ate saving Of at least $135, 900 annually
A third series Of reports is being pre-
pared on those branches Of the organ
ization which are technical in charac-
ter and which exist for the service of
the government as whole-branches
which have to do with such matters as
public printing, heating. lighting, the
making of repairs. the providing of
transportation and the compilation OF
satisfies where mechanical equipment
Is essential.
Abolition Of Local Offices.
Perhaps the part Of the organization
in which the greatest economy in pub
lie expenditure Is possible is to be
found in the numerous local offices Of
the government. In some instances the
establishment and the discontinuance
Of these local Offices are matters Of ad-
ministrative discretion. In other in
stances they are established by perma-
nent law in such manner that their
discontinuance is beyond the power of
the president or that Of any executive
officer. In a number of services these
laws were passed nearly century ago.
