ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PUBLIC PRINTER

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE,

OFFICE OF THE PUBLIC PRINTER,

Washington, D. C., January 20, 1932.

To the Congress of the United States:

In compliance with law, I have the honor to submit the following report on the work of the Government Printing Office for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1931, and also for the last half of the calendar year 1931.

More orders for printing and binding, shorter hours of labor due to the Saturday half-holiday law and a drastic reduction of overtime work, along with expanding activities due to occupancy of a large extension of the plant, have made necessary a considerable increase in the regular work forces of the Government Printing Office.

During the fiscal year 1931 there were 938 appointments and 463 separations, including 183 retirements on annuities. The number of employees on the rolls June 30, 1931, was 4,903, an increase of 471 for the fiscal year.

INCREASE IN NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES

The total number of employees on the rolls December 31, 1931, was 5,043, an increase of 216 for the year, 635 more than two years ago, and 852 more than four years ago. The present enrollment is 264 less than the greatest number ever employed in the Government Printing Office, which was during the World War.

That there has been plenty of work for the augmented force of employees is evidenced by their completed products for the fiscal year 1931, amounting to $14,546,440.75, an increase of $449,920.50 over the production in the preceding fiscal year.

During the eleven fiscal years from 1921 to 1931, inclusive, the Public Printer has returned to the public Treasury the sum of $10,837,647.24 in unexpended funds and miscellaneous receipts. Of this amount, $7,960,291.84 was available for expenditures but not used by the Public Printer. The unexpendable miscellaneous receipts of $2,877,355.40 came from the sales of public documents and waste materials. All the pledges to the Director of the Budget for the saving of reserved funds, amounting to $233,764 in the last four years, have been fulfilled.
