COST-PLUS PLAN COST
GOVERNMENT MILLIONS

Washington, Sept. 12.-Among
the many amazing facts brought out
by congressional investigation com
mittees was the recent disclosure
that shell-loading plant which was
estimated to cost $1,250,000 really
cost the government $4,000, 900
and was uncompleted when the ar
mistice was signed. Here was an
increase of over 1000 per cent over
the estimates---one more testimonial
to the inefficiency of inexperience in
the war department. Assuming that
only half OF the excess cost was
waste, 1t will take the proceeds of
the sales OF $4,000 hundred-dollar
Liberty bonds to cover the waste.
The plant referred to was erected at
Fort Delaware, under Secretary Ba-
ker's "cost-plus" plan, Evidently,
there was plenty of the "plus" in the
cost. A surprising feature OF the
evidence was that the department
has requested an appropriation OF
s1S5,000 for purchase of more land
ldioining the property, mostly
