Votes and Proceedings of the House of Representatives, 1855 Session I

REPORT Of the Committee appointed to consider the best method of conducting the Printing of the House, with instructions to examine the Blue Book and suggest such alterations in the form thereof as may appear desirable.

Your Committee having given careful consideration to the matters referred to them, report as follows :— 1. That your Committee cannot suggest any alteration which can at the present time be made in the mode of conducting the printing of the House, especially as the performance of the work is dependant upon private printing offices. 2. Your Committee are of opinion, on examining the Blue Book, that certain papers only should be printed, and that various alterations should be made in the arrangement of the documents to be printed; these suggestinos are of too lengthy a nature to include in a Report, but your Committee have mentioned them fully to the Clerk of the House. 3. Your Committee are of opinion that a great saving in the expense of printing would be effected, and greater regularity in the performance of the work attained, were the House in conjunction with the General Government to establish a Government Printing Office.
