"GRAFT LESSER EVIL
Buffalo Committee Deplorcs
Lor Efficiency Standard There

Buffalo. Dec. 27.-An extravagant use of
public funds, favoritism to contractors on
friendly terms with the administration and
other shortcomings are charged against
executive branches of the city government
in report submitted to the trustees OF
the Chamber of Commerce to-day by the
municipal affairs committee of the organi-
cation.
No charge of graft is made against any
official, but it is shown from city records
compiled by experts in the employ of the
committee, that supplies and work have
been paid for by the city at figures rang
ing from SO to roo per cent above market
prices, that work has been inefflciently
done and that the payrolls have been
carrying the names of scores of men who
make only slight return to the city for
their salaries
President Elliot c. McDougal recon-
mends. in a letter accompanying the re-
port, that public meetings be called to dis
cuss the situation
The municipal affairs committee has
been carrying on an investigation quietly
for nearly year. The work of it's experts
was stopped last November by the Com
missioner of Public Works, who forbade
them further access to the records of his
department.
I'VE believe the committee states, in
summing up the reports OF its experts.
that the root of evil in municipal work
is not primarily graft or unnecessary ap-
propriations. but manifestly the mainten-
ance of a standard of inefficiency that in
sures the least amount of work for the
greatest number of Individuals
The committee recommends as a remedy
for existing conditions new city charter
along the lines of the Des Moines plan of
a business administration under board of
directors.

given at sundoWn. another in two hours
and third at 10 o'clock. The next morn
