Waste and wasteful spending in city printing under McClellan
An appendix to the City Record Commission report handed to Mayor Gaynor accuses the Board of City Record, the Mayor, the Controller and the Corporation Counsel of neglect and overspending on city printing and advertising. The document cites hundreds of thousands of dollars in uncontracted orders, excess advertising payments to newspapers, and wasteful contracts. It urges central control by the Board of City Record, halving election ads, tighter printing specs, and a four year printing contract to stabilize work and costs.
