Bindery. A glance at the balance in the Bindery fund will show that I barely got through, although the last Legislature added $1,000 to the appropriation of two years previous. It is becoming a common custom for state officers to insert half-tones in their reports. The pictures are placed in certain parts of the book, in most cases where reading matter appertains more or less to the half-tone. This requires additional work in the Bindery as every half-tone is placed in the book separately by hand before stapling. The Nevada Historical Society had thirty-one pictures in its report of 1909-1910. The custom is growing every two years. A number of reports to be printed in 1913 will contain photographs. Half-tones are expensive, the price ranging in the neighborhood of $4.50 a piece when made the size of a page of a report, the expense being borne by the officer who edits the report. These photographs are printed on a select grade of paper which is more costly than ordinary report stock. INSURANCE The State Printing Office building and contents is insured for $11,400, apportioned as follows, in five companies: Building, $5,000; type, $1,500; printing machinery, $2,900; stock, $2,000. These policies are very old, and since the installation of a Meihle press, linotype, booksewing machine, and a complete Bindery outfit, the insurance on machinery is entirely too small. On the other hand, the building. insured for $5,000, has nothing to burn except the floor and ceiling. The amount on type is not very large. I do not know if stock includes printed matter. If it does not, $2,000 is too much, as we seldom have that amount on hand at any other time except just previous to a legislative session. I believe an additional policy of at least $10,000 should be taken out on machinery by the Board of Capitol Commissioners. The duties of my office are such that I have been in personal contact with every state officer, elective and appointive, as well as the members of every Commission, and the head of every institution of the State of Nevada during my two years of service. I wish to thank them for their courtesies during that time and for the way in which I was received. I hope the same friendly relations will exist the remaining portion of my term. STATEMENT FOR 1911 Appropriation for support of the State Printing Office for the years 1911 and 1912... $42.500.00 25.00 59.79 1,906.97 496.58 66.00 A goodly portion of this fund was paid out for rule work for the State Board of Health and the Public Service Commission, both being created by the last Legislature, and the State Controller, as exofficio Insurance Commissioner. The remainder was used on the Revised Laws. REVISED LAWS OF NEVADA The printing of the Revised Laws of Nevada was a hard task. The Legislature of 1911 appropriated $8,000 for the printing and binding of the same, but it proved to be inadequate and the Special Session of 1912 appropriated $3,000 more. Three thousand copies were made, half of which were bound and the other half held to be bound as directed by the Secretary of State. The edition had to be placed in two volumes. making the cost of binding almost double what it would have been had the edition made but one book. However, the price was made $14.00 per set by the Code Commission, which partly made up for the extra cost of binding. The combined number of pages in the two books was almost 2,700. The workmanship is first-class, and all material used was the best that could be purchased. Paper was selected by the Code Commission and especially milled for the edition. It would be unfair to state that the full amount of this appropriation was used on the Revised Laws, as it was understood that the cost of printing for the Special Session of 1912 was to be used from the $3,000 additional appropriated at that time.

STATEMENT FOR 1911 AND 1912 $111.09 This fund having been created by a special Act, the balance January 1, 1911, did not revert to the General Fund. During the last two years supplies and additional machinery for the linotype were procured from this fund. All material needed for this class of work has to be purchased from the Mergenthaler Lintoype Company exclusively. Balance unexpended January 1, 1911....

The Legislature of 1911 appropriated $1,800 for the 33d Nevada and a like amount for the 34th. The 33d has been on the market some time. The 34th is now in the bindery and will be turned over to the Secretary of State not later than the middle of February.
