PEOPLE DO NOT realize FULL VALUE
ON EXPENDITURES FOR PUBLIC USES

tributed specifications for bids are
loosely OF carelessly drawn in many
cases; labor-saying devices are slow
u and sometimes reluctantly intro
duced: there is great waste in public
printing Above all there is not the
same Incentive or reward for. economy
in publis as in private enterprise.
Public Not Well Advised
The fundamental trouble is tina;
the public has no means OF accurately
ascertaining whether particular ac.
tiHity OF government is productive OF
unproductive, efficient or inefficient
We must somehow devise standard
units OF governmental performance
by which 10 measure the quality ana
quantity We could directly measure
the output with as much accuracy as
most factories measure departmental
productivity
Efficiency Commissions Needed
And almost always We have the
deadly parallel, the comparison with
the activities and costs OF similar de.
partments in other places. In short.
the solution OF our problem lies in the
permanent maintenance OF practical
efficiency commissions Their first
functions should be TO uphold the
hands III the public servant who is
doing his work we'll There should be
both public and private efficiency com,
missions. We have tried them tenta.
lively in the past. they have been
