the new road law. He said:
Under the law creating this office the APP
pointment will have to be made by January l.
| have given the matter considerable thought,
the position being o most important one. L
shall be ready to make the appointment in
due time. There are a number of applicants
for the place. l am waiting for the County
Commissioners of Baltimore county to center
upon some individual.
"The law requires that the person named
for this position shall be graduate and a
holder of diploma as civil engineer. While
the law does not make it mandatory that the
engineer be a resident of Baltimore county,
naturally prefer to select someone from that
locality. The appointment could be made
from any place in the State or in the United
States"
