tanned the following comment:
1.-THE report covering that period
from July 1 1921, to March, 1922,
shows that the total amount of work
for the fiscal year was $2,523, ,4S2.60.
OF this sum $49,6453O was expended
up to March for the performance OF
architectural work. 1t was estimated
that about $21, 1000 more would have
to be spent to complete all the work
for the year, or total of $70,645.30
or two and half per cent of the total
cost.
"Up to March the division had COM
pleted all work and placed contracts
for items which would represent 1916,
605.80 of the appropriation available,
but the contract price of which was
1862, ,338.61, or a saving in appropria-
tons of $214,2T3.19, but of this saving,
the report shows, there were some
extras that had to be taken into con-
sideration which, it was estimated,
would amount to $120.O00, leaving a
net saving of $94,273.19 There were
113 different jobs represented IN the
appropriations for the present fiscal
year, thirty-nine of which were new
buildings. Mr.. Mills attached to his
report detailed schedule showing
how near to completion this work
stood at the time.
"All matters taken over by the divi-
sion from the previous administration
have been cleaned up and sketches
and plans have been so far advanced
that much of next years work should
be completed so that bids may be
advertised for and contracts awarded
when the new appropriations become
available July l."
