IT SAVED
MONEY FOR
THE STATE

Just $9135.14 was saved during tho
past year by the state board employ
Ing an architect on a salary instead
Of commission, according to figures
prepared by State Architect Knighton.
According to the figures, he drew
plans for buildings the cost Of which
aggregated 100000. The total COM
mission, based on the regular charges
Of an architect, had this work been
done on a commission basis, would
have been S2O,S6S.S1. The total oper-
atlng expenses were s11,92517, leav-
ing balance OF $S943.14. There was
sl92 turned over to the general fund,
making net saving as indicated
above.
The board, upon assuming control
of things, decided that money could
be saved by hiring an architect, in
stead Of letting the work on the com
mission plan, and Knighton was em-
ployed. The showing, the members
contend bears out their contention.
and, in addition, is an argument In
favor Of having law passed provid-
ing for the creation Of the office Of
state architect by law.
Had the architect been allowed to
exercise control over other buildings
In the state now not under jurisdic-
tion of the state board, the saving
would have been increased by several
thousand dollars.
