G We have wish, under existing circumstances 20
discuss the question involved In the action Of the James
River and ksnswhs Company. their late meeting in re-.
terence to the consolidation OF the Offices OF President
Chief Engineer. The determination OF Major Gwynn to
decline the acceptance Of the latter office renders Il
necessary But article in yesterday Republican, in
which the subject treated in economical aspect will
justify, II does not call for single remark. Promising
that have other objections union Of the two oi-
ees, wholly independent Of the question OF economy we
suggest that the salaries given Engineer, in former
days." furnish test by which decide that question
now Suppose, however. the Presidents salary is TO be
$4,000 and the Engineers S250o there would indeed be
an apparent saving Of $500 by blending the two offices
But on the other hand should have the services of two
gentlemen tor $500 instead OF one for Scotland IL
the Presidents duties of such character as TO REQUIRE
avery large portion OF his time in their performance It is
evident that will be necessary employ leas, one more
assistant Engineer, If the offices be combined il they
be separated, heretofore This would incline the scale
OF expenditure IN the opposite direction We beg leave to
cay too that our appreciation Of the engineering
