Where the Money Goes
The government printer SAYS that
last Year 100000 worth of printed
material was never put in circulation.
and more than 100000 worth was
wasted in distribution to people who
did not wish it. AS many as 100000
600 copies of official documents have
been issued in year: yet no effort
is being made to put a stop to the
waste.-Buena Vista Patriot.
