Leve|ing OFF Is Noted
In Construction Costs
OF City Projects

Increased competition among
Washington contractors in recent
weeks has caused a leveling off of
construction costs for municipal
building projects, Assistant Engin-
eer Commissioner L. E. Cox said
today.
There has been no decline. how
ever, in the cost of city construc-
ton projects. 1t. Col. Cox said.
Apparently a lull in other types of
construction here has caused an
increase in the number of bidders
on District contracts, according to
Col. Cox.
"And we always get better prices
quoted us when there is a large
response than we do when only
two or three contractors submit
bids on a given project" he added.
Col. Cox said the cost of ma
terials and labor has not decreased
at all.
Gallinger Project Recalled.
He described the recent leveling
off as similar to several other
previous pauses in the upward
spiral of construction costs. He
recalled that the District was
caught last year by similar level
ing off when attempting to let a
contract for construction of the
projected Gallinger Hospital lab
oratory.
Col. Cox said the city had $370,-
900 available for the project last
year but that amount was con-
sidered insufficient. Therefore,
the city heads asked Congress for
approximately 100000 more to
begin the laboratory project.
Then, when the bids were
opened. the low bid was only
$4,000. This bidder since has
claimed mistake in the bid and
the contract probably will go to
the next lowest bidder, Col. Cox
said. But the incident is illustra-
tive of the leveling off now being
experienced.
Young Encouraged.
Engineer Commissioners Gordon
r. Young said he was extremely
encouraged by the increasing
number of bidders on District prof.
ects and added that this trend
indicates a return of competition.
The result of the leveling off. he

ployees' Retirement System. The need
for a capable person to administer
the Retirement System became so
apparent that the other board mem
bers persuaded Mr.. Fay to accept
the management of the Retirement
System. He was the Number one
man to select for this position as he
had fathered the original retirement
bill through the 1916 Legislature,
giving maximum aid and support I'M
til it became law. During the follow
ing legislative session, he saw to it
that the amendments were properly
presented and carried through. Be-
cause of these activities and his able
functioning as board member, peo-
pie seeking help and guidance in re-
tirement system matters, came to the
State Purchasing Office to consult
Mr.. Fay. This occurred with such in
creasing frequency that he decided
to leave the State Purchasing Office
where he had been employed for
more than eighteen years, in order
to devote his full time to the Retire
ment System.
He has carefully studied the Re-
tirement Law and the many problems
arising in connection with expansion |
of the membership in the Retirement |
System. In talking with public offici-
ais and potential members regarding
advantages of participating in the
Retirement System, he deals fairly,
always carefully considering their
various problems. AS a result, a
large number of public agencies elect
ed to enter the Retirement System,
while large numbers of individual
in state departments can
celed their original Withdrawals and
elected to join the System.
Mr.. Fay possesses the special men
tai abilities and personality fitness
for the position of Secretary of Re-
tirement System to an unusual de-
gree. When he interviews member or
he inspires confidence and
the person leaves the office with
a fuller understanding of his prob :
lens and spirit of goodwill. Mr.. :
Fay's administration has been strictly :
His every action has
been for the best interest and building

up of the Retirement System. He
knows and practices the idea that a
spirit of goodwill and fair dealing
is the first essential in developing and
maintaining a public service organiza-
ton.

curity for their old age. These en-
ployees vary in political faiths and
affiliations from extreme right to
those pretty far to the left. The
Retirement System awards those who
survive the changing political tides
and continue to serve the public faith
fully and well, regardless of who is
elected Governor. Republicans, DEM
ocrats, A. d. AS, Progressives, Soc
