ECONOMICAL METHOD
OF KEEPING ACCOUNTS
Expert Tells How, by System OF
Standards, Government Could
Save Money.

lie Grand Powers, president of the AS
ISOLATION of American Government Ac
countants, said, In the course of an ad
dress at the Public Library last night
that it is entirely possible for the United
States government, by establishing stand
ards for work and living up to and be-
yond these standards. to double. and per
haps triple, the efficiency of the account
ing forces of the government.
AS an example. Mr.. Powers spoke OF
work i'm the agricultural division of the
census office. There are certain schedules
standardized there so that each bit OF
work is classed as unit. to occupy seven
and a half minutes of clerks time per
unit The first schedule occupied fifty
minutes, but with the standard in mind
the entire job was cut down to an aver
age of less than the standard time.
If this system were applied to all
branches of government work. said MI.
Powers the government would be much
better off in it's accounting departments.
He said that private business manage
ments are approaching their problems In
this way with good results.
Mr.. Powers gave his talk in place OF
the announced lecture on Accounts or the
Egyptian Government by A. Mitchell
Illness Mr.. Inness was called from the
