Will Prist Own Stamps. Postmaster General Oortelyou has awarded bureau of engraving and printing of the treasury department the contract for furnishing postage stamps and books of stamps for the postal service during the period of four years beginning Feb. 1, 1907. There were only two bidder, the bureau of engraving and printing and the American Bank Note company of New York. Had the award been given to the bank note company the annual saving to the government would have been about $17,000. lu -a memorandum Mr. Oortelyou says: “It appears to be the policy of the government to manufacture its currency, revenue stamps securities, etc , by its own agencies and it would be contrary to that policy to give over to a private company the contract for the manufacture of postage stamps solely’ for the purpose of saving an amount relatively small and large ly problematical.”
