New City Purchasing Agent Aims For Efficient Supplies
Ray M. Mackey will take office as city purchasing agent and head of the municipal complaint bureau. Mayor Brown seeks department data on current and projected supply needs, with monthly totals around 17 000 for merchants' bills and 5000 in minor accounts. Mackey will systematize purchases, obtain prices, and report savings while preserving council contract powers. The complaint bureau will use triplicate blanks to track each complaint from filing to department routing.
