A program of national service was announced last night by the Amerlean Engineering Council of the Federated American Engineering Societies. Government reorganization, employ- ment, expansion of the federation on regional lines reaching into every state, establishment of a world peace contact with the engineers of Great Britain and France, and elimination of waste in industry are among the problems facing the federation, L. W. Wallace, executive secretary, an- nounced following sessions of the executive board of the council held at the Cosmos Club. Public Works Department. Establishment of a federal depart- ment of public works, relief for the patent office, standardization of gov- ernment contracts and greater pro- vision for the employment of en- gineers are among the immediate ob- Jects sought. After an extensive dis- cussion of the existing conditions of contract work and a study of views obtained from contractors and others, the council, it was announced, ha® adopted recommendations made by its committee on types of government contracts. The council, which represents the organized engineers of America, vot- ed 1o recommend that “there be ap- Ipointed by the President an inter- {departmental hoard on standardiza- tion of contracts, consisting of a rep- resentative of cach government de- partment enguged in construction, and | that this board recommend policies to govern in the standardization of eon- {tracts within each department.” Unit Prices Advoeated. The council urges thzt “government work be normally carried out through unit price or lump-sum contracts, or by the purchase aud hire method { Where none of the above methods are applicable to conditions, the cost-plus Imethod should be used, in which the {contractor is refunded the actual lcost of the work, plus an accorded icompensation, which increases if the !work is done bLelow the estimated fcost of the work und decreases if {the work costs more than estimated, ibul never sinks below zero.” The executive board voted to co- operate with the national engineering societies in organization of am {employment service for engineers. | The closer you zet to some people ! the more distant they are. ledger of the club.
