Paymaster General Harris cuts red tape to speed contracts
The Paymaster General outlines a reform plan to reduce delays between contractors and the Navy department. Under the new system, money due contractors is paid faster, abolishing unnecessary paperwork. He reports the bureau paid over 360 million dollars this year and estimates time savings equate to about 200 thousand dollars, or one third of annual bureau costs. The effort aims to boost competition and lower prices by making government contracts more attractive, while noting needs for storehouses and reducing obsolete stock. Also referenced is the Kennington disaster pension issue for pay clerks and a coroner's inquest in Chester Court Northwest regarding a stabbing, with two men held for grand jury action.
