|L|TTElL DEFENDS
COST PLUS SYSTEM
FOR CANToNMENTS

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE much at
tackled cost plus profit" system under
which the National Army environments
were built was defended today by Brig
Gen. Littell and his aides, who directed
the work, in testifying in the final
branch If the Senate military commit
tee war inquiry.
Gen. Littell declared the plan had
saved the government money, had not
given contractors excessive fees and
had speeded completion of the camps.
Rports of eXorbitant wages paid work
To Consider Overman Bill
While the military committee was
investigating the cantonment contracts
up the bill sent to the Capitol last week
by President Wilson proposing unlim-
organize and coordinate government
departments and bureaus. 4 sub
committee headed by Senator Over
man was appointed to proceed with
consideration of the bill
Both Senate and House remained 81
lent on the question of war efficiency
and organization Several senators
prepared speeches for delivery later
this week.
IN detailing the work accomplished
in preparing quarters for the war
army, Gen Littell said the 16 canton
ments had cost S143, 100000 and the
average fee of contractors at each
camp was from two to three per cent.
None was over six per cent. and the
maximum was S250000
Competitive bids were impossible, the
general said, because of the speed re-
quired.
Delay in completing hospitals was
attributed in part by Gen. Littell to
the surgeon generals office.
Investigation of the cantonment
question was not completed today and
Gen Iittell and his assistants will re
sumo their testimony tomorrow. The
committee plans to close its inquiry
after hearing a final statement by Sec
rotary Baker.

The roads have sought to make the
