) REPORTS ON YEAR OF BUSINESS GOVERN

For example, AT the request or the
Commissioner an investigation of the
office practices of the Tenement House
Department was made and recon-
mendations were submitted which en-
abled him to effect reduction in the
budget OF 1915 OF more than $4,000
below the 1914 appropriation.
In February OF last year Chamber
lain Bruere began an examination
into the status OF the installation of
uniform accounting methods in the
various Mayors departments. One
part OF this reorga nization called for
expense and cost records which would
reflect the cost OF specific functions or
activities, and the installation of mod
ern accounting devices to control de-
partmental stores and equipment.
Conferences were held between the
accountants Of the departments and
representatives OF the Department OF
Finance, with the result that on jan
uary /. 1915, expense accounting was
in operation in the following depart-
ments: Health. Public Charities, Cor
rection, Fire, Street Cleaning, Docks
and Ferries. Bridges, Water Supply,
Gas and Electricity, Parks, Bellevue
and Allied Hospitals and the Armory
Board.
In 1914, as each departmental es-
innate was received, it was reviewed
by the Chamberlain and where re-
quests were made for increases, spe-
cially thorough examinations were
conducted.
The result of the personal study Of
the budget by the Chamberlain and
by the Board of Estimate sub-com-
mittee of which he WAS member was
that the budget for the Mayors de-
partments In 1915 aggregated Sl,500,-
900 less than for 1914.
From an administrative standpoint
some Of the most important studies
which have been conducted during tho
past year by the Chamberlain relate
to the Capitalization OF purchasing.

tion, the city's automobile service, the

Bruerc, "a virtual board of directors

For the first time in the history Of
the city general surveys of the inter-
nal organization and functions Of the
departments under the jurisdiction Of
the Mayor were made under the SUI
perviSion of the Chamberlain, They
included complete graphic charts
showing the structure and duties OF
the various departments of the city
government and thus furnish more
comprehensive Information than has
ever before been available to admin
istrative officials.
Detailed studies have been made Of
several departments, the results OF
which were currently placed in the
hands of the Commissioners. and plans
for correcting defects and cffecting
desirable administrative changes have
heen worked out in conferences he
tween the Chamberlain and tine re-
sp-ctive department heads. These In
vestigations were supervised by the
Cham berlain, hut the actual work of
'reorga nization in every case was per-
formed by the Commissioner himself.

the Final Solution of
Problems Faced

accomplished to date by the centraliza-
ton of the purchasing service for the
Mayors departments carried on un-
der the Chamberlain direction, he
enumerates the following:
An associate central purchasing
committee composed of nineteen OF
the best purchasing, storing and sell
ing experts now employed by the in
terested departments has been organ
lied.
"A consolidated contract division
has been installed which has under
taken to issue contracts for all de-
partments.
"ln the case Of consolidated con-
tracts for meat, poultry and coffee,
involving five departments. the cost
has been reduced. In the Department
Of Correction. for example, a very
good grade Of coffee was obtained for
the prisoners in place of the very in
fer!or grade in use for years at a
saving Of over sl,S00, or 20 per cent.
"A clearing house and central eX-
change for the disposal of overstock
not needed by the departments has
been planned, so that nothing viii he
sold until it is determined that none
OF the Mayors departments has use
for II.
AS n result Of this central pur-
chasing so&Sme the several depart
mcnts have been relieved Of much OF
the clerical work on contracts and
OF the expert work in preparing pro-
posnls. This Will tend to lower the
clerical costs in these departments"
In the investigation of alleged in
spection Implications conducted by the
Chamberlain, it was found that the
existing duplication resulted in un.

than in conflicting orders inasmuch as
the purposes OF the inspections were
entirely distinct. The Chamberlain
enumerates the seven departments
which have jurisdiction over buildings
in the course of construction and also
indicates the same departments with
the addition OF the Police Department
as having control over buildings which
are completed. In his judgment there
is no reason why all of this work
should not he performed by single
department.
As a result OF centralizing the prep
aration of payrolls for all OF the
Mayors departments in the depart
ment OF finance. following studies con-
Quoted by the Chamberlain with the
cooperation OF the Comptroller, many
economies have been effected to date.
The cost Of payroll work in the de-
Iartments under the Mayor which ara
now served by the Central Payroll
Division, was approximately S1S,5"o
per year The cost of doing this work
now under the centralized system is
approximately $4,000 per year, This
saving of over $4,000, or 73 per cent,
is at present represented by surplus
time Of clerks formerly engaged on
payroll preparation.
A review OF the work done by the
committee on unemployment, Of which
ex-JudGe Ebert H. Gary was the
chairman, and Chamberlain Bruere
the secretary, is presented.

River. no longer discharged directly
into the Atlantic. Instead, their waters
were turned sharply northward BY
a sandy peninsula that blocked the
old passage and fanked the flow Of
these streams on the ocean side, caus-
ing their ebb to pour into Sandy Hook
Bay. There was an inlet through this
u ninsuls abreast OF the mouth OF the
Navesink in 1870, and the old Shrews-
bury Inlet, which was opened in ltIs,
was closed in 1910. but again cleared
twenty years later only to be sealed
once more In 1s43.
These changes took place at rela-
lively short Intervals and at points
close to Seabright Of to-day. Possibly
the earlier citizens OF that community
were not drawn there with any idea OF
permanency Of residence. and 1t Is
certain that they never imagined the
place would be adorned by costly cot

Fishing more than anything else

of these people were probably safely
