Changes Recommended to Congress by the Public Printer, The annual report of the public printer, Mr. Benedict, for the year ending June 30, has been submitted to Congress in a neatiy printed pamph- let of ninety-four pages, Mr. Benedict took office September 13 last, so the report does not cover any part of the period during which he has per- formed the duties of the office. He says he found the office well equipped in many respects, and its ‘vast machinery generally in intelligent hands. He says he is satisfied that many smprovements are necessary in the office, and that a much greater economy is possible in conducting it. To thts end he calls attention to what he considers as serious mechanical embarrassments. MECHANICAL NEEDS. ‘One of the greatest of these deficiencies, he Says, is a lack of convenient storage room contig- uous to the main office. This lack causes a lange Mice, | expense in the renting of two store-houses, and renders necessary the employment of numerous draft conveyances and teams, with an extra force of employes, to haul and reaaul printed matter awaiting the bindery, which cannot be stored in ‘the main office, owing to lack of room and danger to the buliding: This evils constantly, growing, and H-e:hopet Congress will remety it i delay. ‘There is also an it necessity for pro Viding a new set of bollers for band power. ‘The present boilers were placed in the ‘office When ft was scarcely one-third of Its present size; they have been in constant use for fourteen Years, and they are now entirely deficient. in capacity; and their continuous use, to the Tendered necessary, ts believed. to” be cous Down to lize and property.

To secure economy and at the same Ume execute the neces- sary work us eflicieuliy as possibie, Mr. Benedict ‘says, the public printer must firmly check any Uenuency to extravagance in the public printing and binding. The fiteeu days’ leave of absence with pay, granted by Congress to the employes of Unis office at the last session, he says, has proved @ Just and beneficent measure, and be urges the ‘adoption of a siailar appropriation this year.
