carried on, owing to its utterly inadequate and unsuitable accommo- 

 dations; this alone interferes with the full realization of all the facili- 

 ties which this office should afford in the Department's work, the 

 Public Printer himself having at all times shown the most cordial 

 disposition to increase its usefulness so far as dependent upon him. 

 Special credit is due to Mr. Frank Wallace for the admirable work 

 performed under his supervision, in view especially of the difficulties 

 he lias had to contend with for the reason above stated. Since 1899 

 the total number of copies of publications issued through the branch 

 office lias nearly doubled, and this without taking into account the 

 Monthly Crop Reporter, printed for the Division of Statistics, the com- 

 position for which is done in the branch office. For the year under 

 consideration, 76 of the total number of requisitions issued upon 

 the branch office were for the printing of publications aggregating 

 1,319,800 copies.
