Local Governments Can Aid Defense How Highland Park, Lake county and the other 15,097 local governâ€" mental bodies in Illincis can help to solve the nation‘s toughest probâ€" lemâ€"that of defenseâ€"was told toâ€" day by Mrs. Melville Mucklestone, president, the National Consumers Tax commission, Chicago. A sum "sufficient to purchase 417 pursuit planes of the most advanced design plus 1,384 fast, light tanks" would be saved each year if local governments in this state would adopt only two administrative imâ€" provementsâ€"centralized purchasing and the merit systemâ€"according to the head of the commission, which has 58 study groups in Illinois. "Other economies, such as instituâ€" tion of sound budgetary methods, consolidating governmental units, proper planning and abolition of obâ€" solete and unnecessary offices would save additional millions. If local govâ€" ernments throughout the nation would eliminate inefficiency and waste by the adoption of these methods the total sum saved would more than offset the $994,400,000 to be raised annually through the National Defense Tax Act which went into effect July 1. "Authorities estimate universal adoption of centralized purchasing would save 5 percent, or $24,227,500 of the $484,550,000 spent annually by local governments in the state," Mrs. Mucklestone, who is a former national president of the American Legion Auxiliary, declared. "An average saving of 5.6 percent or $27,134,800 would be realized thru personnel selection by merit. Purâ€" suit ships cost $65,000 each and light armored tanks, $17,500. "Every loyal American favors the rearmament of our nation now regardless of cost. But while taxâ€" payers are paying this bill, they have a right to expect local governâ€" ments to make every effort to save where essential services will not be sacrificed. "Citizens everywhere are perâ€" forming a patriotic service of the highest order when they urge efficâ€" ient administrative methods on their local officials. I am proud that NC;S women are in the vanguard of this economy drive." en NCTC leaders in Illinois are Mrs. Ivor Jeffreys, of Glencoe, state diâ€" rector, and Mrs. Franklin M. Miller, of Chieago, a member of the nationâ€" al committee.
