¥ HIGH COST OF RUNNING CITY TY BUDGE GIVES, DOUBLES THE SWARMS OF scala "Engineering and Temporary Service” Taps the People’s Pocket for $13,093,776. ‘ALL BOROUGHS BLAMED. ‘Too Many ‘Hands, Do Too Lit- fe Work for Too Much Pay, and Taxpayer Loses. The Board of Estimate, sitting in eview on the extiinates submitted by arious city officials of the amounts vequired to run their departmenta or Wureaus in 1921, slashed a couple of fhwindred million dollars off the pre- Uminary budget and still left the tentative budget some $70,000,000 in excess of tho budget of 1920, The @t were made in items which were never intended to go through, The items wherein are concealed the real yeasons why the cost of government of the City of New York amounts to veritable robbery of the taxpayers were woatcely touched. In common with the National and| Btate Covernments, tho Government | of the City of New York 1s a flagrant | profiteer.
