Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, September Z, 1912.
Near Waterloo station. where American
travellers arrive from Southampton. there
is a gigantic building in course OF con-
struction in the depressing neighborhood
of Stamford street. One is surprised to
learn that the huge building will be the
kings stationery office. and still more
surprised to hear that this Office costs
the country f1.OOO.GOO year. Appar-
entity a department has been found at
last in which there is room for economy.
The estimates committee began with
the Office of works, which seemed
promising field. but the department came
very we'll out Of the inquiry. and its gen.
eral methods of administration COM
manded the approval Of the committee
its attention to the stationery office,
whose methods have been forming the
subject of investigation by a select COM
mittee, whose report reveals some extra
ordinary abuses and glazing extraVa-
ganceS. The department itself is not the
sole offender, for other departments are
responsible for some of it's extNAyagances
The stationery Office supplies works OF
reference to other government depart
ments, and the committee discovered that
one of them took no less than 100 copies
of Burke's Peerage every year AT the
height of a constitutional crisis it is con-
ceivable that a department might be
deeply concerned at the story and lineage
Of the peers, but even so, provision seems
to have been made for satisfying the
curiosity of the office boy.
