Reform bill would overhaul government printing and distribution
A Senate printing bill proposes economies of about 1.25 million yearly by revising laws and centralizing document distribution under the superintendent of documents. It introduces a $2500 senator and $1800 representative credit system, cuts the folding room distribution, and shifts power to a central office with new salaries and a Justice Department solicitor. Also allows sale of government publications at cost and shifts to power presses for bonds and currency printing, with worker transfers and limited abolitions.
