MILLIONS SAVED
BY HIS REFORMS,
COOKE DECLARES
Public Works Director
Says He Has Loosen
ed Contractor-Lords'
Grip on City.
Million a Year for Three Years,
His Record, He Says, and
This Year It Will Bo More.
Councils Scathingly Attacked.
SALIENT POINTS IN
REPORT OF DIRECTOR
Saving of $i,eoO,000 to tho tax
payers during the four years of
tho present administration, made
possible by scientific efficiency
methods.
Waste and graft eliminated
among the 1,000 employes of the
Department of Public Works
through the introduction of re
forms. The contractor overlords have
been driven out. and Philadelphia
is no longer a "closed city" in the
matter of municipal contracts.
Philadelphia should conduct its
own street cleaning work.
A needless cause of expense to
the taxpayers is the high rates of
the Philadelphia Electric Company.
Councils have failed to provide
money for a legal fight to force
a rate reduction.
Councils still stand in the way of
the highest efficiency. A specific
instance is their failure to pass the
ordinance authorizing the substi
tution of 11,000 gas for gasoline
lamps, which would save the city
$70,000 annually without one cent
of cost.
Scientific management, supplanting con
tractor rule In tho Dopartmont of Public
Works, has meant a snvlng of $4, 200,000
for tho taxpayers of Philadelphia during
tho four years of tho present administra
tion, according to the fourth and last
annual report of Director Morris L
Cooke, Just submitted to the Mayor.
Even greater savings might have been
effected, Director Cooke believes, had It
beon possible utterly to eliminate political
Influences and to secure proper co-operation
from Councils. Of tho total oaving
accomplished 3,000,000 was saved during
tho years 1912, 1913 nnd 1914, and for the
present year the cstlmato Is $1,200,000. Tho
flguresvtvere reached by a comparison of
expenditures under tho present admin
istration with those under former ones.
BLAME ON COUNCILS.
The falluro of Councils to act upon the
"gasollne-to-gas" ordlnnnce, which would
save the city annually J70.000 without the
outlay of a single cent, Is strongly scored
by tho Director. Councils' refusal to act
for tho best Interests of the people In
this matter not only has meant an an
nual loss to tho city, but has withheld
much needed Improvement In the light
ing system, ho sayb.
The recommendation Is made that tho
city conduct Its own Btrcet cleaning work
In the future Tho Director explains that
Philadelphia Is the only one of 25 largo
cities in which this work Is done by con
tract. The report continues, "So long us
tho Messrs. Varo Edwin and William
continue to be the dominant forces In our
legislative halls this abuse Is likely to bo
continued."
The "absurdly high rates" of the Phila
delphia Electric Company aro cited as a
great cause of needless expense to the
city. In reference to the efforts of the
department to better this condition tho
report states:
"We have made a number of attempts
to secure from Councils nt first tho mod
erate sum of $5000 and later JM.OOO In
order to adequately present tho case
against the Philadelphia Electric Com
pany before the Public Service Commis
sion. Not one penny has been appropri
ated by Councils for the Philadelphia
Electric case.
Director Cooke places particular em
phasis upon the Introduction of "humani
tarian" reforms among the employes of
the department, which has meant a "new
vision" In the direction of affairs Waste
and potty graft thus have been virtually
eliminated and the morale of the start of
4000 employes has been elevated. To this
has been ndded the standardization of
business methods and the Installation of
safety and labor-saving devices.
FINANCIAL REFORMS.
Giving In brief the financial reforms ac
complished, the report states:
"The 4000 odd employes of this depart
ment have effected economies which
make our operation nnd pialntenace ex
penses more than Jl.OOO.OOO a year less in
1914 than they were in 191L At the same
time. Judged by the test of willing ana
efficient service, moneys expended and
volume of work accomplished, the year
Just closed has oeen the best In the his
tory of the department.
"During the three years ending De
cember 81, 1914, we expended J3t,W7,000.
Those of us who are in responsible
charge' of the work of the department be
lieve that this money has been honestly
expended yes. not excepting any one
dollar In this vast sum.
"The total savings In operation and
maintenance for three years up to date
have been well over J3.000,000. and for the
year 1915 wa estimate t,200.000 more
This Is divided by bureaus as follows:
Highways. 11,180,000; Water, 11,203.600;
Lighting. 1470.000. and City Property.
170 000, In this no mention Is made of
a vast saving effected through obtaining
dedications of street beds as against the
old method of the city having to pay
heavy damages for opening streets.
"We have only mentioned In tnls state
ment the larger savings effected those

"Also, through better systems of in
spection, tho department has been able
during 1914 to reduce payments for con
tracturnl services In those cases where
specifications have not been lived up to.
A considerable part of tno total sav
ing has been effected through the elim
ination of the domination of the "con
tract for over-lords," the report states.
The result has been Increased competi
tion. Increased efllclency and the end of
the "closed city" situation as regards
municipal contracts.
Particular credit Is given to tho work
of Chief Davis, In tho Water Bureau.
Under his dlroctlon the number of water
meters In the city has increased In the
last two years from 4000 to 27.E00
Criticising Councils for their orjstructive
methods and laying particular emphasis
on the sire of Councils, the report states:
"The real stumbling block In tho way
of a proper co-ordination of the adminis
trative and legislative functions lies In
the number of Councllmen. In a board of
directors of nearly 150 members, even
those who want to be useful would havo
little opportunity of being so. So It Is
with Councils. The whole body is or
ganized so that a very few strong-willed
and corrupt men at points of vanatga
arrange everything.
"A bare half-doren absolutely dictate
to 20 times their number. Our city
Councils are made up, to a very great
extent, of men who are so obscure that
they cannot be punished."
The continued employment of Philip
H. Johnson, as city architect. Is de
plored by Director Cooke. It will take
many years to put Philadelphia to the
front in the architecture of publlo build
ings, the report states, If Mr. Johnson is
to be continued as architect.
The establishment of additional city
markets and trolley freight lines will re
duce the present high cost of living to a
considerable extent. In the belief of the
Director.
City's Bathhouses Popular
There were no less than 257.69S visits to
municipal bathhouses in the week ending
last Saturday, a larger number thnn In
any previous week of the season.
