Idea of Control of Burns by Official

Portland 1h I rovided w ith a bureau of
publTc effirit-nry and economy, testi
fied Jesse 1'. Burks, director of the ef
ficiency department of Ios Angers,
In an address last night Lefure the
Chamber of Comm-Tie.
"A citizens' agent," Burks defined
the bureau of his id--al. He opposed
the idea of an efficiency and economy
bureau under control of the official
administration.
To Avoid 'Whitewashing.
"It can easily become merely a
whitewashing Institution If the money
for it is raised by taxation and the
bureau is subject to control of offi
cials whose work and departments U
analyzes." he averred.
From his Los Angeles experience
with a bureau as a part of th mu
nicipal administration lie told of the
pressure from t!e official circle to
prevent the frankest expression con-j
cernlng conditions or the most ener- i
gftic effort toward improvement after I
showing of analyzed facts of waste or
inefficiency.
He advocated an efficiency bureau !
maintained by the comparatively small '
group of public spirited citizens who i
are willing to give to the extent of j
their ability and their good citizen- i
hip. (
Most citizenship now, he said, r. !
concerned with the superficial and the 1
external in municipal governm ent, !
whereas good citizenship, the best test '
of it. is the showing of what it ac- :
complislies. i
Presented by Mr. Hardy. j
He predicted that public officials!
would become- such an agency as a co-i
operative means of increasing the
value of the public of the administra-
tion.
It is lack of information rather then
Of inclination that contributes to in
efficiency, he said.
Burks was presented by George K. I
'Hardy, executive secretary of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, who j
has renewed the proposal for a bureau j
of public efficiency and economy io
Portland.
Hardy took advantage of the oppor
tunity to explain that when he said
.recently that the Dayton, Ohio, bureau
is financed largely by John 11. 1'atter
Bon, and asked if Portland ha8 any
John H. Pattersons, he did not mean
to advocate that one man finance Uie
work here. He believes that a numbu
should contribute and said two citi
zens had already offered J100 each a
year for three years to help finance a
Portland bureau.
