Taxpayers' Money Case Highlights Waste at Baton Rouge Depot
Senator Williams of Delaware recounts a postwar cash flow fiasco from 1942-43 building an engineer depot in Baton Rouge for 2.9 million. It sold in 1949 for 205 thousand, then rented by Commodity Credit Corporation, with 193 thousand in storage charges. Air Force leased two thirds of it in 1951 for 219 thousand annually, while Army negotiates a buy for about one million, totaling nearly four million to the government and about 1.28 million pre-tax profit for the warehouse owner.
