Bureau of Efficiency Report Is
Set Aside by Appropria-
tions Body
Nv u SiuG Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Feb. IS.


The Appropriations Committee of the
House of Representatives has decided
not to abide by the recommendations of
the Bureau of Efficiency. which urged
in special report TO Congress that
the Philadelphia Subtreasury be abol-
ished.
The committee has given full consid-
GRAFTON to the report Of the Efficiency
Bureau. 1t is learned, and has decided
not to cut OFF the appropriation for the
continuance of the Philadelphia Sub
treasury at this session of Congress at
least. The majority OF the committee
are said to favor letting things run
along as they are for this year and
taking action next year to abolish all
nine Subtreasuries, located at Philadel-
phia. Baltimore, New York, Boston, Gin
cinnati. Chicago. St Louis, New orleans
and San Francisco.
There is sure TO be a vigorous fight
II the Subtreasury items in the House
when the bill carrying the appropr alton
comes up, and the outcome appears un-
certain.
While urging the abolition Of the
whole Subtreasury system the Bureau
| ot Efficiency recommended the imme-
diate suspension of the Subtreasuries at
| Philadelphia. Baltimore and Cincinnati
| the immediate release Of the six Sub
| treasurors in the remaining six Sub
! treasures and placing control in the
! hands Of the cashiers at the Subtreas.
! uries, and the consolidation of the en-.
tire system with the Federal Reserv,
banks within six months after the enc
