X. Fulton Cutting Tells of Cut in Cost
Through Efficiency.

BY the introduction Of efficiency into

this year for the operating cost Of their
government, r.. Fulton Cutting, chair
man of the New York Bureau Of Mu-
ncipal Research, said last night in an
address before the Columbia Univer-
sity Institute Of Arts and Sciences.
Tho lecture was the first in series of
five conferences on the subject, MAX
ing Government Efficient"
The municipal waste and corruption
which in the past characterized ma
tional, state and municipal govern
ments, Mr.. Cutting said, was due in
large part 10 the spoiis system in poll
ties and Indifference OF public opinion.
"The taxpayers Of New York City"
he said. will pay 3l,5O0,0O0 less this
year for the operating cost OF their
government than they would have had
to pay IL the average rate Of increase
in appropriations which prevailed in
tho five years 1903-l90S had continued
from 1903 to 1916"
Mr. Cutting described the efficiency
Of the New York Health Department,
which has reduced the death rate in
New York City between 1905 and 1915
from 1925 10 1853 a thousand. II the
former rate had continued, approx
mately 10000 more persons would have

repeatedly invited Colonel Bryan to

ground that Bryan believed he could

Those who have watched the develop

that Mr. Ford is convinced that he

as he can obtain the backing of Bryan
he will return to the front.
