Installation of labor saving devices
in tbe Auditor's office of the Treas
ury having proven satisfactory, the
final adjustment of the department's
personnel has been accomplished.
It means that 196 salaries were cut
from the appropriations for the fiscal
year which began July 1. This is
an estimated saving of more than
$200,000 annually.
Out of'the 190 names, however,
only six will be dropped from the pay
roll, the remainder to be put in vacan
cies that have occurred since Novem
ber from deaths or resignations. The
statement has been given out that a
few of the older clerks have been
donated about $200 a year to conform
with the General readjustment plan.
Several promotions that were to be
made have been withheld.
In the office of the Auditor of the
Postoflice, seventv-seven salaries' were
eliminated, owing to the fact that ma
chines for the auditing of mouey or
ders had been installed.. A sum of
$106,000 will be saved annually by a
machine that prints bot-i the seal and
serial number on bills, a work that
has heretofore been . performed by
hand.
Big Sum Saved in Printing.
In their report to Congress the
printing investigation commission de
clared the reason for abuses in public
printing is lax and antiquated laws,
but that $110,000 had been saved

that $38,S4S/24 had been saved in
one year by abolishing the printing
offices in the Treasury. Interior and
Agricultural departments.
It advised that the printing estab
