PRINTING OF
 BLUE BOOK IS
 BIG EXPENSE

WASHINGTON, Jan. Il. - The printing of the official register of the United States, the directory of gov ernment officials and employees popu- larly known as the Blue Book" the issuance of which is required by law probably costs more than ay other government publication. The report of the division of publications of the department of commerce shows that an edition of 3,251 copies of the 1919 volume, consisting of 1,704 pages costs 35,715.33, approximately $11 per copy. The charge for the paper stock used in this publication was $3,32O.66.
 The printing bill for all publications issued by the department of com merce during the fiscal year 1920 was $425,370.75. These figures represent the cost of 975 miscellaneous reports and various issues of periodical pub lications. The free distribution of publications issued by that depart ment has been greatly curtailed, and as a result the receipt through sales by the superintendent of documents and other agencies have increased from $53,08O,9S in 1918 to $86 ,677.47 in 1920.
