Under Old System.

Under the hand system two or three
months were required to verify the paid
lists. three months to assert the orders
into Office of issue, three months to do
the numbering and three months addi-
tional to verify the issued lists-almost
one year to complete the audit. During
this process of audit the money order was
to handling 90oO00,O00 vouchers in the
course of year.
by means of the mechanical devices
recently installed by Auditor Kram the
particulars of the money order. post office
number. serial number. amount and fee
are perforated in small cards, which are
then run through automatic electric ma
chimes and added and assorted at the
rate of from 10000 to 10000 cards per
day for each machine. Thirty of these
machines accomplish the same work as
the go skilled laborers under the former
hand system.
1T has been publicly stated that short
ly after January. 1919. there was an ac-
cumulation of S,00O,O 600 unaudited money
orders in the mail room of the auditors
office To persons unfamiliar with the
magnitude of the money order business
such figures might appear stupendous,
but. a matter of fact, postmaSters
render their accounts monthly and eight
million orders represent approximately
the payments made by postmasters for
the month OF December. This accumula-
ton will be gradually reduced. and 1t is
estimated that within two months the
audit Will be as nearly current as human
agency can possibly make it,
