Excerpt from Contract Record and Engineering Review, Vol. 26: January 3, 1912
The Boston finance commission partakes somewhat of the same nature. Among other economies secured by this commission was their discovery that the municipal stone crushers of Boston, instead of being an economy, were a luxury. The commission recommended their discontinu ance, and as a result was saved on crushed stone in the next two years. After studying the methods used in cleaning sewer basins, this commission recommended a change to the contract system. With a resulting reduction of over forty per cent. Of the former cost.
