Centralized Purchasing Bureau.
The purchasing of machinery, and
material and supplies for the county
Of Hawaii, together with similar pur.
chases for the territory and the 9TH
er counties of the territory, should
be centralized in general ptrchas-
ing bureau. Decentralized purchasing
invariably means lack of uniformity
both in quality and in price. Though,
a particular department
may suffer from bad bargain enter
ed into by the central purchasing
agent, the unit of government, as a
whole, gains by putting stop to care
less and inefficient purchasing in de-
partments whose purchase transae-
lions are not so easily susceptible to
the taxpayer or official scrutiny as
are those of a central agency. Num-
erous illustrations of monopoliZed and
reckless and extravagant purchases
for public use have been found in the
financial record of the county of Ha-
vail
The County of Hawaii has been slip
shod in the handling of its property:
one reason for this state of affairs
can be traced to the unending flow
of appropriations which have been the
means of concealing the costly results
of this neglect.
