PAPER CONTROL AND THE E.S.R.

Abstract

Readers will notice that the weight of the paper used in this issue of the Review has been substantially reduced when compared with the weight of that used in previous issues. The reason for this is the necessity for further economy in the use of paper. A reduction in the number of pages from sixty-four to forty-eight was made in the January and April numbers, but even these savings are not sufficient in themselves and commencing with the October issue the number of pages will have to be reduced still further from forty-eight to forty. However, by reducing the sizes of the margins, so as to give an increase in the actual printing area, it will be possible to include more printed matter on each page than appears at present. In addition, it is proposed no longer to print the whole of the Colonial Office List of Recent Appointments and Promotions in the Colonial Service, but only to include those parts of it that are of immediate interest to surveyors. As a result of these measures, it is estimated that the total amount of matter to appear in the forty pages will be almost the same as that now included in forty-eight.
