BIG COST OF PRINTING
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

by Associated PreSs 10 Every ENening
+ Washington, July 23.-The cost of
publishing the Congressional Record, the
government publication recording daily
everything that is said and done in
Congress, as well as some things outside,
was S537 $40 last year. practically the
same as for 1918, but about $500, 900 less
than the 1917 cost
These figures were given recently by
Russell O. Beene, accountant at the
government printing office, in answer to an
inquiry of Representative Magee, of New
York, as to the possible saving that would
result from the discontinuance of the
record. Mr.. Beene gave the cost for
1917 as sS01, ,790.SS and for 1918 as
S537 GAO.
Cornelius Ford, the public printer, was
asked for an explanation OF the high cost
figure in 1917, but confessed his ignorance
unless it happened that Congress did
more talking" that year. Mr.. Ford said
that in 1917, Congress was in session $50
datys; in 1918, 307 days, and in 1919, 279
days.
The printed pages In the Record for
these years were 652, 2,511 ,964 in 1917;
563 ,672, ,5S7 in 1918: and 455, 130, ,450 in
1919. The cost of paper has increased
greatly within the pas three years, but the
use of a lighter and less expensive
quality has helped reduce the aggregate
cost of the paper used. For 1919, the
paper cost was $4,000 as compared
with Sl62,00 in 1918 and 100000 In
1917
