Commissioner White said erning the let
ter: II have had the hearty cooperation OF the
Chief Engineer Mr.. Bergen. during the last two
years. in reorganizng the engineers bureau OF
his department This reorganization has been
made so complete, with the knowledge on
my part that Mr. Bergen intended TO retire that
IN my opinion. the place of Chief Engineer
would best not be filed at all hereafter. This
is the more evident In view OF the proposed
division Of the department. l have already said
TO Mayor Wurster that l advised the abolition of
the place Of Chief Engineer and the dstribu-
ton OF its powers among the present heads or
the divisions dealing respectively with water,
sewers and pavements. No Chief Engineer can
be a specialist In all these branches for city OF
the size of Brooklyn, and l know OF no other
city Of approximate size which has attempted
q similar task When the place first
created, in the infancy of the city, the Cniet
Engineer could give personal attention TO all
divisions Of this bureau. but that is no longer
possible. so there Is now a specialist over each
division"

Mr. Flower thought he detected legal mistake in
Mr. Fynn's application, and organized the Brook

to the Railroad Commissioners Instead OF to the

which was mainly from MonrOe-st. and Slxth-ave..
