He called for at least fifty million dollars in economies via a revision of school expenditures and cautioned against talent for shielding wasteful spending, urging reorganization to keep costs within taxpayers means. Buffalo editorials supported his stance, arguing economies could boost efficiency without harming education and warning educators to avoid motives doubting reforms.
