The Evening World is informed by engineers who have handled some of the largest engineering projects In the country that practically two-thirds of this barge is unnecessary and due to duplication and bad business methods, Thin newspaper has shown how the city, by stopping the Schoharie extension work, could save approximately $250,000 engineering costs {n the Hoard of Water Supply, and by taking over the $2,500,000 engineering cost of the Public Service Commission could save probably an additional $1,900,000.
