The director reviews the years work
in engraving and printing stamps,
money securities and checks. The
volume turned out is smaller than in
past years. but the cost was heavier
owing to the time of employees taken in
moving from the old to the new build
ing: the increase in compensation al
lowed by Congress to printers assist
2 IT'S and helpers, and increase in unit
charges for supervision.
The number Of power presses in the
bureau for printing paper money was
increased on July l, 1918, from sixteen
TO twenty-eight, and after July /, 1914,
10 forty The saving for the year
through the use of the presses was
SIS7. 300.
Moving from the old to the new
tu lding was accomplished. the direc-
tor says. without the loss of a single
security and with no reduction in the
ally printing and deliveries
Describing the advantages Of the new
IA lding, Director Ralph says:
The new building provides a maxi
mum of light and ventilation. Every
thing practicable conducting to the
health and comfort of the employees
has been done. The toilet and lock-
er rooms are light and spacious;
the halls are large; sanitary drink
ing fountains provide cool drinking
water in all parts of the building:
the medical officers rooms have
been completely equipped for first
aid treatment of sick and injured
employees: completely equipped
kitchen and lunch rooms were fur
nished by the Government, one lunch
room being for men and the other
for women. and each is connected
with the covered roofs OF two wings
OF the building. which are made use
of by the employees during the lunch
period.
