ed the books of the Finance Department. CORES

terror what amount was paid the Civil Engineer
now

nov being paid 5000 per year and Major Bender
was receiving 500 per month.
Hon. 5. q. Wilder failed to see the necessity for
high priced civil engineer. knew Of no work |
that would be undertaken during the next twuyears
that could not properly be superintendent by dEst
class carpenter, and bridges that are conten
plated to be built did not reqaire superintendence
by 500 per month man. His idea was that a

Works, at 5000 per wear with capable Assistant L
Superintendent at 8, 500 per year would serve the
country better.
