COSTING SYSTEM FOR USE BY CITY COUNCIL.
The inauguration of a costing system to embrace expenditure against the ; items on the estimates and for works such as the construction and reconstruct tion of streets and bridges out of loan* and for other works as occasion arises, was decided upon at last night’s meeting of the City Council. A report from the Finance Committee dealing with the matter stated that it was considered that if a statement showing the expenditure up to date was .submitted to the committee concerned each month, the expenditure would be. kept within the amount provided on the estimates and the information would be of great service to the officers concerned in regulating the expenditure, in addition to giving protection to the councillors as a whole. The work involved would keep a clerk oontinu-* ously employed and the committee recommended that a trial be made with, the present staff in' the together with a temporary clerk at £4 per 1 week, until the system was in working order, when a definite proposal will be submitted. The report was adopted.
