He also submitted exhaustive reports of the governmental savings accomplish ed through erdepartmental trans fers of surplus supplies and other economy methods put into effect by the budget bureau, itemiZing thou sands of transactions involving ships, shoes, sealing wax and all the many articles and commodities utilized by the government together with the amount of saving realized in each case.
 The budget director further report cd that the savings reserve against current appropriations of SIP. 1000, 900 set up by the depart nents and estab- lishments in August, 1921, in re sponse to executive request, had been increased notwithstanding reappro- priations by Congress of more than $7. .000,0 ,000 of this reserve for other purposes. to the approximate sum of $136, 100000. Only such part of these reductions as are real savings and not postponed expenditures were in. cluded in the general estimate of say ings. he added.
 As a still greater reduction, Direc- tor Dawes declared that the present estimated expenditures for 1922 for the operation Of the routine business of the government, after eliminating expenditures of $7,500,O00 authorized by Congress after the submission of the budget providing for representa- tion of the United States at the Bra gillian centennial exposition, seed loans and fulfillment of the treaty with Colombia. as compared with the December budget estimates, showed an excess of only $25,767,457 on a total of $1,75S,375,G72, or a dis crepancy of only about 1H per cent.
 Real Government Saving
 The report was described by Di- rector Dawes as an effort to deter mine what the real savings Of the government had been during the cur rent fiscal year.
