Overpayments For Aircraft

Honorable John H. Bartlett, Chairman
of the Civil Service Commission, says
that the War Department has authorized
further audits of contracts for aircraft
which weIe terminated by negotiated
agreements during the latter part of 1913
and early 1919, with view to the recov-
cry of overpaymentS estimated at S20,
600, 900 co.
Mr. Bartlett said that the Civil Service
Commission was interested In this matter
in connection with the clerical WORK OF
the audts. He said that he had been In
formed by the War Department that three
audits recently completed established
overpayments for aircraft totalling ST.
87l. 600. He said that informal figures OBJ
tanned from accounting firms indicate
that it would cost the Government sum
close to 81, 000 600 to complete the addi-
tional audits which are contemplated;
that, by the use of accountants obtained
through the Civil Service Commislon's
examination, the three audits completed,
totalling a recovery of NOR than S7,OOU,-
900 90, had cost the Government only
S 5000 90 for all expenses OF the audlts,
and that the War Department further
stated that the additional audits could oe
performed by civil service employees lor
less than $3.50. OOe co. as against the sl,-
OO0, 900. 90 asked by private auditing COM
panies, to recover the estimated overpay-
ments OF SIS, 600, 900 90. =.
Mr.. Bartlett said that the three audits
which had been made by civil service
employees had been placed in the hands OF
reliable public accounting firms by the
contractors affected, to determine the cor
rectness and accuracy of the audits, with
the result that all the cases had been de-
clared flawless from an accounting stand
point, and could not be upset.
