ENGRAVING AND PRINTING BUREAU [Engraving and printing for the Treasury Department was done for many years by contractors, but at the time of the Civil War it was found necessary to organize a bureau to attend to the final work on the great number of notes issued. By act approved July 11, 1862 (Stat. L. v. 12, p. 532), the Secretary of the Treasury was empowered by Congress to purchase machinery and employ persons to do the work. In 1863, the bureau was called the National Currency Bureau and a few years afterward it became known as Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Reorganized in 1877. The act approved June 4, 1897 (Stat. L. v. 30, p. 18) provides that all business of the Engraving and Printing Bureau shall be under immediate control of the director, subject to order of the Secretary of the Treasury.] Classification no.

L. v. 3, p. 489), reports concerning immigrants were made annually to Congress by the Secretary of State, from 1820 to 1870, and statistics were collected by the State Department up to 1874. The reports for 1865 to 1867 were rendered by the commissioner of immigration appointed under act of July 4, 1864 (Stat. L. v. 13, p. 385), but transmitted through the Secretary of State. The last-mentioned act was repealed Mar. 30, 1868, which abolished the first Immigration Bureau (or Commission). A Statistics Bureau (T37.) was established in the Treasury Department, July 28, 1866, and beginning with 1869 a report on immigration was included in the report on commerce and navigation issued by that bureau, thus duplicating the work of the State Department up to 1874, when by act of May 7, 1874 (Stat. L. v. 18, pt. 3, p. 42), it was provided that the report on immigration should be rendered to Congress through the Treasury Department rather than the State Department. The Statistics Bureau continued to issue these reports up to 1895, duplicating the work of the present Immigration Bureau from 1892 to 1895.
