Jay Walkington School Report*- Farmers' BITTING METHOfie Improved methods of buying supplies in Illinois are expected to save the State of Illinois something over one million dollars during 1953. Robert D. Patton, state purchasing agent, made this estimate and cited various fields of state buying where costs are being trimmed. I Contracts for fruits and vegetables for state institutions, formerly awarded on a statewide! basis with prices quoted as much as seven weeks in advance, now | are handled by weekly bids from ' dealers within approximately 60' miles of the place where delivery is wanted. This gets fresher nroduce at lower cost. The eHmhation of "fancy cuts" of meat • bought for institutions is sav-! !ng about $30,000 a month. Hv buying coal in mid-summer w>en prices are down, the state saved about 50 cents a ton on1 the 360.000 tons it purchases, Pntton said. He added that administrative costs of handling 1952 coal purchases was $8,000. while this year such ooata ware only $400. 1 Need A Robber Stamp' It at the Plaindealer.

Lyons, state revenue director, that after Nov. 1 gas tax refund claims should be filled every four months instead \of every six months. More frequent filing of claims, provided for by an enactment of the General Assembly at its recent session, 'should make it pos* sible for his department to make refunds more promptly, Lyons said. During the last fiscal year the state refunded $14,914,497 in motor fuel tax collections to users of gas for aviation, industrial, railroad, marine, fuel lawn and farm purposes. Of this total, $8,845,615 was paid to farmers. fST before President signed the 2nd year aid bill, he removed a from his pocket and Infeted II among his uppers.
