.OHIO DOES SHOPPING
WITH SCIENTIFIC CARE
fRy Associated Pressl


COLUMBUS, O., July 21-Ohio's
new method of purchasing it's sup
plies, now functioning under the re-
organization plan, is a radical de-
parture from the old way of a single
purchasing agent. The state now
does its shopping with as much sci
entific care as the biggest private cor
porations.
Edward Shattuck. purchasing agent,
has four branches of his department,
each presided over by an expert. The
procedure in purchasing anything is
this:
If the managing officer of any state
institution or the head of any depart
ment feels that some supplies are
needed, he makes a requisition to the
director of the department The di-
rector carefully investigates, and, if
he thinks the request justified, certi-
fies it on to the budget commission
That department notes as to the mon
ey in the reserve fund, out of which
| the purchase is to be made.
The order then is sent to Director
of Finance Floyd E. Waite. If he
finds the article is not badly needed
at once, he holds up the reQuisition.
If, however, Waite thinks the pur
chase should be made, he sends the
| order to Shattuck, who passes it along
to one of his four assistants, to do the
actual buying.
| When large purchase is made
| Shattuck will send special deput.
or field officer to the shipping poin
to see that everything is o. k.
The plan was worked out by Di
rector Waite and Shattuck, and is en-
| tirely new for Ohio.
