Betterment of Conditions.

That the changes made for the bet
terment of conditions is shown by the
fact that at the time they were put
into effect 200 different charts We're
out of print, and there was an ag-
Sregate demand for 6103 copies of
charts that could not be supplied and
that within a comparatively short time
after the changes had been made the
number of charts out of print had been
reduced to twent Mfve and the num-
ber of copies of charts that could not
be supplied to meet the current public
demand had decreased to 904.
ITO show further the beneficial re-
suits of the changes. il may be said
that the records show thai very nearly
as many charts We're printed during
the month of August. 1916. as were
printed during the months of July
August and September of the preced-
ing year"
Through lack of a fireproof building.
records which have cost millions of
dollars to collect. but which now are
priceless for the reason that they can
not be replaced, are every minute of the
day exposed to the danger of destruc-
tion by fire
