Government paper use rises 40 percent in last year
The Public Printer reports Uncle Sam published a vast array of periodicals totaling 161 611 tons of paper last fiscal year, a 40 percent increase from the prior year. Private publishers face 15 percent paper cuts. Government aims to reduce publications and save manpower to curb waste. Embargo on anthracite coal to western points worsens heating concerns as Eastern states reel from fuel shortages.
