The city Surveying Business.

We shall continue to draw public attention
to the necessity of reform in the ordinance
regulating the city engineers department; and
we shall do so from standpoint entirely free
from personal considerations. We believe the
council should carefully but promptly look
into this matter, and amend the ordinence so
as to remove its Objectionable character. The
engineer and his assistants should be kept at
the public work exclusively; every public inn
provement should have the personal super
vision of the engineer; the matter Of surveying
off lots should be left to private surveyors.
The city should establish the lines of streets
perfectly. The fee system is not justi6able
under the present circumstances. The ordi-
nance should be amended to prohibit all pri-
vate work in the city engineers Office. But if
the city determines to do surveying other than
that pertaining to streets, squares, etc., then
the fees should be paid into the city treasury as
are the fees of the recorders court. Under
the present ordinance the city has monopoly
of the surveying business, and it can be made
a source of revenue to the city. But this
method Of forcing the public to patronize a city
institution is repugnant to the best interests Of
the public at large.
The ordinance can be amended with very
little trouble,
