CONDITION OF WORK IN THE DIVISION. 



The work of the division is as nearly up to date as it is practicable 

 to bring up work of this character. There is a growing need, however, 

 for additional funds for the temporary employment of stenographers 

 and typewriters to assist in the preparation of the several .fiscal 

 reports annually required by Congress.
