MONEY LAUNDRY STARTS.
Treasury Department to Open
washing To-day.


A fortune will be washed. dried, and
Ironed to-day by employees OF the Treas
urys Department, the new money laundry
being opened for the first time this
morning. The laundry will be located
in room No. % and will continue TO do
business for weeks. The system will
do away with the heavy expense incl
dental to the macerating Of soiled bills.
which has bsen the custom in the past.
In the future the only money destroyed
will be the currency that is so badly
mutHated that It will be impossible TO
restore IL with a thorough cleansing.
The laundry has been given a thorough
test at the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing and the officials declare Il a big
success. The bills subjected to the clean
ing will not lose their color and will
appear to be brand new.
It Is estimated that 25,CC0 notes Will
be washed and ironed each day. saving
the government an expenditure Of At
least $4,000 a year.
