m the fact that he had heard
nothing of the postofflee balance
sheet, which he said had been approv-
ed by Will Hays, former Postmaster
General, since last June.
The matter could not be dismissed
a great fuss about nothing, the
ncral declared in referring to a
quoted remark attributed to Post
master General Work in special dis
patches published here yesterday.
Controller General McCarl and
Postmaster General Work wer
solved from blame by the general
who declared subordinates yere re
sponsible for “chucking into the wasto
■ basket” the work of Mr. Furlow
and his assistants. “With the earnest
cooperation of his predecessor, Post
er General Hays, after ovi
months of labor on the part of Mr.
Furlow, an employe of the govern-
under the budget system at $1
per year, and J. R. Knapp, vice pres!-
dent, in charge of accounting, and
four assistants” thg general said,
'there waa prepared for the first
inie in the history ef this country
lot only a balance sheet ef the Post-
office Department in terms under
standable by the average man
-eport in the accepted business form
of the current operations of the de
partment for the first quarter of this
"The submerging of the Postofflee
Department balance and operating
sheets is not the fault of the Post,
office Department They were com-
pleteii about the time the accounting
f the Postofflee Department
transferred by law to the office of tije
ontroller general of
States, who has the great task of re
forming the present disgraceful and
archaic .System ‘of. government ac
•ounting. Controller General Me-
trli«, «We and conservative, but a*
is surrounded by old government
countants who will fight to the death
If possible, improved methods.
‘Just before I left Washington I
found that, without the knowledge of
the controller general, this whole
matter had been chucked into the
wastepaper basket; so to speak, by
lot of subordinates who were opposed
to the change and who, in his
organization, had kept it from the at
tention of the controller general him
self. The controller genera] said he
wns in full sympathy with the work
and that it would be resurrected. This
is the last 1 heard of it I do
want to criticize the controller gen
eral • * • but I undertake to .'say
that unless the fight for correct book
keeping in the Postofflee Department
Is won, that with it gsii for
indefinite time the chance of securing
