Selection of auditors or accountant* to aid tho committee in its wo*k was deferred uutil the next meeting called by the chairman . Questioning of Samuel McGowan, Chief Highway Commissioner, by members of the committee consumed the greater part of today's session. The chief commissioner was quizzed regarding the various changes m .ad mlnbtation, organization and opera j tion of the highway department einco he took office and as to conditions ho found when he took office and condi tions as they are now. At the outset, the chief commis sioner told the committee that he had not "been sorry but once since I took this job; that is, I've been sorry all the time." "Were it not for developments that arc going on now, I would quit," do ctored Mr. MeGorwan. "But I'm not going to quit," C. K. Jones, chairman of tho com mittee, took up one by one the de partmental oiders Hwued by the chief commissioner since he assumed of fice, questioning Mr. McGowan As to why the orders were found necessary and as to conditions since the orders had been in force. , A-sked concerning the purchasing system of tho department, Mr. Mc Gowan said that "it doesn't look good to me" and that the present aydtem was "under scrutiny." He added that he expected to have recommendations along this line ready in the near fu ture. As to his order providing tor the opening of all bids at Columbia and about the letting of contracts at county seats, Mr. McGowan said it was done chiefly for "standardization but also, to get away from any local influence which might exist." ' The chief commissioner stated that he ordered centralization of p"ur* chases in Columbia for the best in terest of the department and to elim inate "indiscriminate buying, with Jittle or no check on purchases." Referring to an order in .-which the chief commissioner asked for infor 1 mation concerning the relationship of 1 employes of the dopartment, Mr. Mc Gowan stated that he found a num ber of instances where several mem bers of the same family were em ployed.

He added that reports of sutfn instance** existing now were beirtg investigated. Ah to the personnel of the depart ment, Mr. McGoiwan sttid he found "too many employe*, too little sal* arte* rfpd too little work." "In my opinion, the entire profes sional force, from $e highway engi neer on down, is underpaid." he de clared. I am surprised that they have done such good work for so little pay." Organization of the department, looking to eeonomy and efficiency was under way, he .?*aid. ? Questioned concerning his state ment before the joint committee ou efficiency and consolidation that ho had to "make a bargain" to "get rid" of L. !I? Thomas, former secretary of tho commission, Mr. McGowain said: "T^o word 'bargain' was unfortun* ately chosen and I did not inti-nd to uaa that particular expression," ?afd Mr. McGowan.
