- 18 CO-ORDINATION MAY SOLVE DIFFICULTY _Controller General Wants Building Surplus Material « ‘May Supply. Saving of any money in the office of ! the controller general of the United States in accordunce with the general retrenchment scheme is well nigh an impotsibility under the present order of things, according to Controller General McCarl. The controller general was discussing his troubles witn a representative of The Star. pointing out that the disper- -Ion of his force umong fourteen build- involving an expensive messenger, and clerical system, made it an lmpolsxhllll) to comply with the spirit of the law. The plan of Budget Director Lawes for co-ordinating government property ma. help to solve the diffi- W need” The Star's represénative. ““A fireproof building to house the en- tire force and the files.” replied Mr. Me- asked ¥ not get Congress to build you “Well." he answered, would be hard at this time on account of the kigh cost of building muterials.” ult totover- " suggested the reporter. “‘Just see Gen. Dawes' general co-ordinator and he will furnish the material.” Director Dawes Suggests Solutiom. The reporter left the controller gen- eial thinking of this situation and went to see Budget Director Dawes. “General.” said ihe reporter. “the controller general is a little down-hear ed because he cannot save any money under the ecunomy scheme.’ “Why not ™ asked the general. Then the reporter outlined the trou- bles of the controller general “Tell him to get authority for the building, and we will find he material from the government's surplus,” said the general. “The government has structural material and can transfer it.” When the two officials and Coi gress are brought together the co troller general may get his building. He is going to present his troubles of- ficially to Congress in a short time. Dispersed in Fourteen Buildings. Investigations conducted by the con- troller general to see just where re- tremchments could be effected Showed him some difficulties. His office is di- vided among fourteen buildings, scat- tered to various points of the com pass. Of the fourteen only two of the buildings are of fireproof con- struction, and one of the non-firepro buildings coniains all of the pay- rolls of all of the soldiers of the late | [ | Waltz, “When Knighthood Was 1 in Flower” . Finale, | “The Star Spangled Banner.” | war. They are priceless and cannot be replaced. once destroyed. Centralization of the force of the controller general is an absolute ne- cessity in order to carry out the spirit of the law establishing the controller general's office. Mr. McCarl pointed out. The office requires 197,621 square feet for the clerks and files of the of- fice. Of this total, which the office has at the present time, only 14,600 feet is considered fireproof. The scattering of the clerks and files of the office in various parts of the city. not only delays the handling of cases. but involves a very heavy expense and lost motion for clerks and messengers going from one office to another -at@ering the various pa- pers and files in one building, this expensive serv- ice could be done away with, he said. Of ccurse, he said, some of the files are what is known as “inactive,” but even these have to be visited at least once a week to get papers for some case that comes up.. If these, together with the active files, were stored in fireproof vaults in one building it would materially .cut.down the num- ber of employes. Time Lost. Some idea of the time A4t requires may be obtained ‘from the statement of Controller General McCarl® that it takes him an entire day to make a round of the offices under his direc- tion. To keep in touch with the work- ings of his office causes the loss of many days in the course of the vear, with consequent delay in examining cases réquiring his personal attention and_decision. Effective organization of the con- troller general's office. he said, can- not be perfected until there is pro- vision to house it under one roof, where the work can be watched care- fully by the controller general and his assistants. Mr. McCarl has looked around for space which would help him solve the present difficulties, but at pres- ent there is no building now available where space enough could be found to centralize his office. He has ex- amined the Arlington building, but four floors and an attic there would give him only 173,000 feet, shortage of 24,595 feet. What is needed. he said, is a build- ing_ specially built. with a couple of subbasements, where the files could be centralized and be quickly avail- ¢ Every Day Phone W.183 Invalid ‘Rolling Chairs for Rent and Sale Very moderate rates of reatal. 1t you desire to purchase, reatals will ap- Dly on purchase price.
