JUorganlxatlon Heeded, - "Tlie supervision of pavement con struction has been delegated to three district engineers, one In charge of the west, aide and two on the east side of the trity. As the pavement problem In J'orOnnd In the.past few years' has been almost entirely construction, such an organization was ' no douot well -war ranted. In the near future, however, the ! problem will be one of mainten ance and not construction, at which lima the present organisation will not bo the best for .carrying on the work. It wilt then be necessary to district the rtt- for maintenance and to establish ' one overhead division for all construe tton wrork. Just the reverse of the pres ent organization. "Each district engineer has, a separ- ate force for. the supervision of pave ment construction; each, district has an Individual surveying bureau and a computing division which, does consid erable draughting. - This Is the same criticism subsequently nojed herein rel ative to. organization In the newer di vision, and is a, very serious hindrance to obtaining best results. ;'"",,. "Notwithstanding the i large amount of paving construction, there Is a, total lack of comprehensive progress reports .on work done and material used. To establish any sort of control over pave ment construction, it is absolutely es sential that current statements of work done and quantities used be returned by inspectors to the main office and there recapitulated, by contracts for the use of the engineers Jn charge. - Ho Checks oa Tine.

On Almost every street sion blcH-ks are used as runners or-toothing stones from eight to twelve inches out side the car r.ail, although the street proper is paved with sheet asphalt, bin llthic pavement or wood blocks. Thlj orlncirjle In paving cbnstfuctlon liaa been discarded by progressive pavement engineers for some years. Jt con tributes to an uneven surface, is un sightly and increases the maintenance cost of the joints very greatly. Where the rails have not been, set on a concrete foundation, a single run ner of brick laid parallel with the track would be sufficient to make a firm Joint, and would present a neater appearance. Where the car rails are set in concre;- or on a very firm foundation and well ballasted, the asphaltlo ravement can be brouaut flush to the rail to a Very great advantage. On. lower -Morrison nd Washington streets, also on x nira, Fourth and Fifth streets, where th traffic is very heavy, the poor results obtained from such construction meth ods Is especially apparent. Heed for Subsurface Itapt. Troper control over the construc tion and maintenance of substructures demands the preparation of recapitula tion maps showing the entire subsur face condition of each street. Their ab sence places i very serious, difficulties In the way. of future pavement adminis tration and public utilities control. The real advantage of such recapitulation maps will become more noticeable as thy city grows older and the -treets become crowded with various substructures. "The present, however, when con struction is under way, is the only time wherraucto maps can be accurately as sembled. Their preparation has been authorized and should not be delayed longer. A strict control should be es tablished over the location of all sub structures in the street, the engineering department to give line and grade to all public service corporations and othar city departments desiring to lay maim and conduits in the street. What super vision there Is today U more apparent than real. ( Should Flaa for Tuture. "The work of street extensions can not be carried on to any advantage with out very close cooperation with tlio coun ty and it should be In even closer re lation to the Greater Portland Plan commission. Few matters are more Im portant to the future greatness of Port land than conformity to a well designed city plan, yet , thus far detailed plans have not been prepared. "It may be noted by looking at a map of the city and vicinity that the platted district Is rapidly extending out beyond th,e present city limits. If the geographical growth of. Portland in the last decade can be used as a basis for future reckoning, the present city limits will very soon-iiave to be ex panded. Tho .time to regulate street extension of the city is when the ad dition is first platted, but the Jurlsdlc tlon of the department of engineering does not extend beyond the city lim its. If statutory revision be need,ed the legislature'. should be asked to au thorize the department of ' engineering to plat all new additions within a rea sonable area outside the city limits In the direction of tha prospective , goo graphic.. .expansion., of. the city.. Regarding' Sewer Construction. "The continuation of a,, separate fil ing reom for sewer plans' and Pifiles and a separate division of design and survey wholly independerit of the draft ing and surveying of the other divl sions of the engineering department. violates a fundamental principle in ef ficient organisation. The records of the engineer's estimates of final quan. titles are also kept, separately in this division. Such recording is a clerical function and should be placed under the chief clerk. Centralization of liks activities will eliminate more waste time than any other single organization factor. : " . ' "The absence of Information In ; the central office already noted In con nection with pavement construction Is equally noticeable In ' sewer construe ti6n. No current progress reports re received by the" main office from the Inspectors employed on contract work, nor are there any recapitulation rec ords- snowing, tne costs of the con-; tract during its operation. It J prima fade impossible to make up. an accu rate, engineer's certificate of quanti ties used In the course of sewer con struction (which is the basis for pay ment) without detailed, progress re. ports.;.;; r.j .

I'roper. control or any roj-m of public works' construc tion demands current detailed reports with certification by the inspectors as to the accuracy of the figures of thelt reports and the quality of the material used, submitted dally. ' -Office Organization Defective. "The physical arrangement of an of fice, coupled, with the organization of tne personnel, is a very important Item in developing efficient administration. At the present time the chief clerk 1b In a separate room, with ..the office en gineer and cannot have any direct su pervision over the clerical force. Three clerks are In the main receiving room; another clerk engaged on recording of pavement estimates is Isolated In an other room; the cost accounts of the maintenance division are kept In an en tirely different room; while the sewer records on aonstruction are In still an other room. ' "Cooperation among employes and co ordination of effort cannot be expected under present .conditions. . , The account ing and recording division, of the de partment of engineering is a distinct overhead function of that department requiring as special qualifications for supervision as the construction of sew ers or highways? The present . chief clerk has the ti'.le without the power From experience In many other cities, It has been found that a fundamental cause for the lack of efficiency in en gineering and public works departments has been the lack of, coordination and cooperation bet ween, the accounting and the engineering. , Accounting Records Neglected, "Fundamental accounts"1' for control over appropriations and expenditures, contracts and open market orders, are conspicuous, by their absence. There are no proper accounting records In the main orrice worthy of name. In mak-ing-the survey of this particular di vision, an attempt was made to obtain 1 the information absolutely necessary for tne guidance of an administrator. Such information was not to be obtained. From the appropriation accounts it was impossible to determine the'unen- cumbcred balance which would be avail able for future work, or even thei unexpended or cash balance one or two I minor exceptions). There was also no Information of balances outstanding on unliquidated contracts and open market! orders. The fact that there is no liabil. lty accounting whatsoever, coupled with tne same lack (yesterday's report) in the auditor's office, presents serious dif ficulties to proper Administration. contract accounts which would ner- mit of the submission of partial "esti mates and of monthly payments upon extensive construction 'or maintenance work were not to be found. Contactors are not paid until the work ix comnleted. This works a liard.sliin nrion bnlh th: contractors .bidding for city work and1 tne city Itself. It necessitates hlsrher bids on contracts. There is no excuse for this from any standpoint. Ordi nary commercial custom demands that a contractor eiigaefd upon extenHiv work be paid at definite intervals for work-completed. ,. ... Begardlng Cost Keoords. "With the exception "of the mainte nance division, no cost records have been established in this department. It is no less desirable that accurate cost records be currently' compiled for con struction work. The installation of a recording control hy means of a loca tion card intles file, showing blocks and Intersections, could be used for nearly all the records In the department. Prog. ress reportson contracts, inspectors' reports on conditions of work necessary to be done (of which there, are none In, the department) could well be filed In juxtaposition with the cost and ex pense records, applying to that partic ular work. "Omission to use the carbon process in preparing duplicates necessitates ad ditional cost In clerical hire, ,. This is particularly true in the preparation of final estimates. Five detailed records, identically the same, showing the quan tities used In various construction, work, are' made ont-ln31vlduaTry m the' "main office. This condition also applies to the reports of work done on sidewalk construction chargeable to the property owner. By the.' substitution of the loose ' leaf system instead of bound books now) used, several rewrites Of detailed side walk accounts could be avoided entirely.
