PLANNING PUBLIC WORKS
SURVEY PROPOSED IN BRITAIN. For years economists have pointed out the necessity, in an attempt to mitigate the effects of cyclical unemployment and economic depression, of planning a programme of public expenditure for a substantial period ahead, notes the “Spectator.” Recognition of this necessity at last appears to have penetrated to the responsible British Government officials. The Ministry of Health has issued a circular letter to local authorities asking them to undertake a survey of the capital expenditure and the programme of capital works which they proposed to undertake during the next five years, and to submit their proposals to the appropriate Government departments. The Government is certainly right in demanding such surveys from local authorities —the idea, no doubt, being to reserve non-urgent works for time of depression.
