The City Engineer. 'nre Engineering News discusses the N age-lemon of a city engineer’s once. a snlrjectoi broad interest to South Nor- walk,.ss well as many other municipali- tim. The editorial contains so many good suggestions that have a local bear- ing,thst we reproduce a portion of it It's: “As there are nearly 400 towns in the United States having a population of be tween 8 000 and 50.000, it is evident that the engineering organization of these smaller places is an important element ’ 'il theproblem in many of them the ' volume of work is not eumclent to em.

Such a practice in- svitably fosters local jealousies, and often leads to the c IncealmI-nt. re novel or frisiiica‘ion of plans, records Cid bench marks and the utter absence of my public and pvrrunneut record of work p-ri-Irrned." A writer in the paper referred to, suggests the employ- ment of the best local engineer at s per dienr rate, with the understanding that Ire is to do all the city work, but can also take any outside work which does not in- tafere with his public duties. “The chief objection to this plan." says the Engineering News, “is that he is calhd upon tossrve two masters. the my end his private clients, and thrir inurests are " sometimes diametrically oIIInsIId.
