In the photographic laboratory a total of 118,441 pieces was 

 received, as compared with 138,832 pieces during the preceding year. 

 The decrease in production is largely due to the discontinuation of

 the Office of Public Roads and Rural Engineering early in the year. 



Eighty-seven requests for photographic work were received from 

 persons outside of the department, for which a total of $600.40 was 

 collected and turned over to the disbursing office. 



A large number of requests were also received for duplicates of
