Paper - expence
here fixed
It may occur as an objection to the Returns
thus required, that they will be excessively voluminous,
and so much so that the expence of Paper will of itself be an
object of considerable account. It For obviating this objection, it may therefore be expedient
to be prepared with measures of economy respecting
Paper: viz:
1. The Paper should be purchased at some Paper Mill
and by this which means the middle-mans profits 25
per Cent perhaps or some such matter upon the retail price
of the Paper will may be saved.
2. The Paper employd by the Board might have
a conspicuous distinctive and conspicuous mark upon it:
in which condition it might be made penal to
employ it for any purposes other than those
of writing to or from the Board: especially as any
contravention of this law would carry its own evidence
upon the face of it.
3. In taking an account of the annual quantity of
paper employd, expended and the expence thereof, credit should
be taken for such part of the expence as is repaid
to government by the Duty: a statement which though
it makes no di does not affect the real expence,
is will have a very important effect on the apparent
expence, on which the reputation of the Board in point
of economy will depend. And for this reason the
expence of Paper of which plays so considerable a part
is created and reimbursed to Government by the duty, should be exhibited by itself
distinct from the expence of other articles, that
come under the head of Stationary ware, such as
pens, ink, wax, packthread &c of which none pay
any very considerable duty to government, and several of them
nothing at all
No good economist will grudge the expence
of his Account Books.
