any experience until was Commissioner was
connected win tine middle division. The witness
was asked TO give his Ideas on the question OF
contractors dong their work properly and coming
up 10 tne, but he manifested 3 decided naZluess
relative 10 contracts and contractors. he SAID ne
knew very little ABOUT canal matters generally,
but Was OF the impression that there was no me-
cessty Tor many subordinates. lie thought that
whose services were not really necessary. The
Cana Board has appointed men VINO were neon
petent and who uId not have the capacity 70 do
the WORK. My idea Is that tue state Engineer and
Deputy should appoint al under them, 20 that II
employees were Negligent the responsibility would
rest the chef Engineer himself lie tnOughL
~ would be better 10 separate the Board, ana
thought that one man TO act as geneIa al
superintendent ana 10 have the general super
vision OF the whole canal would be advan-
tageous TO tile state. In regard 10 the
Otlsco Lake reservoir contract in the Jordan
level the witness could offer no information
Iurther than had previously been given. lie was
Commissioner at the time OF the OsWego hlgn
Gam contract. know nothing OF tue Work, only
