REPORT ON BUILDING ON
new JERSEY CONTRACTS

TRENTON, June 3-The contract
| prices for state building operations
for which contracts had been let
during the nine months ending
March /, and for which S~s76,6O5.sO
had been appropriated, totaled only
$66 2,332.6l, according to a report
on the first nine months operation
of the Division of Architecture. De-
partment Of Institutions and Agen-
cies, submitted today by. Alan b.
Mills. its director. This drop OF
$~214,273.19 below what the 1921
legislature feared the buildings
might cost. will be cut to only s94,-
273.19 by the inclusion of extras"
according to Mr.. Mills estimate.
The state architect does not state
why the bids were so much below
the available appropriations, but
lowered building costs are presuma-
bly, responsible. If reports that
building costs have been going up
since March are true. the percentage
of saving to the state may be still
further reduced. Figures on only
about half the work authorized I'M
der 1921 laws are covered in the
report, the remaining appropriations
which are not dealt with, amounting
to 1888, 937.95.
Expenditures "out of the current
appropriations in the performance
of architectural work" according to
the report, were 49,645.30 up to
March LIST and will probably amount
TO S~70,645.3G by the end of the fiscal
year. This, IL is asserted. is about
two and one-half per cent of the
appropriations for the work ham
died. Outside architects charge six
per cent on the cost of works plan
ned by them and when they help out
the state department.
But it is to be considered, that
Mills, in arriving at the two and
one-half per cent estimate of the
cost of his work, does not figure on
the actual cost but on the authorized
appropriations for the buildings
planned. He uses s2,523,4S2.60 as a
base for his percentage figure. hav-
ing added to the s1.636,543.75 of
this years appropriations. $751;
93S.S5 of appropriations available
either before or after the present
fiscal year. the architectural work
for which is being done this yea
Also it is to be remembered that
$40, 500 was appropriated for the ar
chitect's department by the 1921
legislature and that must be added
to the estimated s70.654.3O. which
or will be paid for outside assist

of cost the public is paying for
