This proj- ect has been under way for eighteen years, has cdst thus far $6,000,000 and fo costing in salaries alone for the current year almost $500,000. ‘The end is not in aight. The map should have beon completed years ago and a @mall and inexpensive | bureau could have been maintained | for alterations, But, Inasmuch as the | slow building of the map engages the | services of a small army of engineers, | transitmen, computers, draughtemen, chainmen, rodmen, levellers, mon, clerks and laborers, the chances are that unless the Board of Estimate takes drastic action, the city map will remain an obscure but steady drain on taxpayers for a long time to come, ‘The city map as at present constl- tuted is an immense collection. of drawings, blue prints and compliations iliustrating all phases of the confor- mation of the city, with special refer- ence to wtreets and grades.

SOME OF THE PETTY GRAFT IN A BIG JOB. Six years ago Comptroller Prender- | at had the bureaus inve: Fated and | recommended to the Board of Esti-| mate that they be consolidated in or-| der to “expedite the completion of | the work and make it uniform in re- sult.” ‘The board promptly shelved the recommendation and the prodigal spending has continued. Facts brought out from time to time have shown the wastefulness under the present five-headed system. ‘Thus, survey points are marked by sup- posedly permanent #labs, called ‘mon- uments,” which ara let into the ground at street Intersections. Rich- mond has been using a “monument” costing 65 cents each, Brooklyn a “monument” costing 76 cents each, the Bronx # “monument” costing $2.35| each and Queens a “monument” cost- ing $3.36 each. Engineers reported the Richmond monument as satisfactory In every way; Comptroller Prender- gast recommended Its use through- out the city; the respective Borough Presidents have continued paying the cost over and above the 65 cents n ecessary. As another {Illustration of excessive cost, cast-iron covers for these mon- uments have been purchased at wide- ly varying prices. Under a previous wiministration in Queens cast-iron covers were bought at $3.50 cach at the same time similar covers were being sold to the Brooklyn bureau at $1.90 each, It turned out that one of the Queens covers had been used a’ 4 sample for bidding by the Brooklyn bureau, and that the firm getting the contract at $1.90 was the one receiving $3.50 for the same arti- cle in Queens. Another avenue of waste has been the over-manning of — surveying gangs. Richmond has found an average of 3.38 men sufficient for cach gang, The Brooklyn and Bronx gangs have averaged 4.52 men, while Queens has averaged 6.84 men for | the samo work. ‘The payroll waste from this causa has heen large, aa! each borough has had from ten to twenty gangs a day in the fleld. Another cause of waste hag been | the need for resetting monuments. | In the Bronx one fleld gang has been rasigned almost continually to this work. Resetting also ts costly in the| other boroughs. — ‘The monuments | are supposed to be put dowa per- | manently the first time Resetting | means costly duplication of survey- ing apart from the cost of the actual work of changing the monument in (ia ground. —— PULMOTOR SAVES GIRLS.
