ALBANY, Feb. 9.—The of the Lockwood Housing Committee will be put forward to-day, when is submitted. The report has been prepared at this time for the benefit of the Budget Committee, which must furnish the sinews of war if the life of the com- Mittee is to be must’ provide for an appropriation covering the deficiency of the Legis- lature’s agent. One of the outstanding featires of the report will be the economy which has been observed. Another will be the amount of money it has saved to the State, and a third win be a sketch of the magnitude + tne work undertaken and the results accom- plished. The committee will come in with a shortage of $82,000 for its three years of existence, It will show that it has spent In ‘actual cash in that period the sum of 154,000, This means that the committee has cost the State since it was created in the session of 1919 approxiately $236,000. As nst this expenditure there has been turned into the State Ti - ury in fines resulting from the - mittee’s investigation in the neigh- borhood of $500,000. This amounts to more than the cost to the State of the Lockwood Housing Committee and the Meyer Committee, which investigated the affairs of the City of New York, combined But it is a bagatelle compared with the millions of dollars saved to the tax payers. In New York City it is pointed out $20,000,000 were saved on the limestone contract for the County Courthouse alone. A week's inves- tigation in the of Buffalo saved the tax payers of 1! County $2,000,000.
