And in a months when more files are to ored they will have to jump to another building It must be emphasized that the situ- ation regarding old files of the Gen- erul Accounting Office is entirely dif ferent from that in any ofher bureau or department or independent estab- lishment. The other offices keep dupli- cates of their records and vouchers, but the orizinals are held by the Gen- eral Accounting Office. The other of fices might destroy their duplicates and depend upon the General Ac- -ounting Office to produce the orig- inals when neede. General Account- ing Office must keep the orig- inals continually available for con- ! sultation ana reference. Here, again, the other departments very often com- { plicate the work of the General Ac couting Office by sending there for ref erence to these original vouchers.

In my annual | report. submitted to the Congress December 3, 1923, the situation wasi summarized as follows: *“The need for suitable quarters can | not be too greatly emphasized. It is believed there must be a lack of realization of the seriousness of the situation occasioned by having the facilities and activities of the ofiice so widely scattered. It requires a certain unsatisfactory division of responsibility by having to authorize a number of officials to act for the Controller General without adequate supervision, counsel and control. “ “The Government has the good for- | tune of having a few experienced and | capable employes to supervise these separate activities, but the number available is not sufficient to efficiently operate eight separate offices, while the organic act contemplates but one. In other words, only one office is es- tablished and provision is made for personnel for but one, but by reason of no provision being made for one that including | te could portion of our files | 3 | a |c: building in which to house this single oftice that should be organized in a single unit operating under the im mediate supervision of the Controller General, the’ authorized personnel must serve to operate eight units. ““In addition to the serious and ex pensive handicaps just mentioned, there exist an_ alarming and un- Justified of de on by fire of vast quantil rless rec fiscal records of the Government from its beginning.
