MINNESOTA ENGINEERS AND SUR
yEY0RS HOLD a CONVENTION.
The fifth annual convention of the Min
nesota Surveyors and Engineers society
opened up yesterday afternoon at the
Commercial club with a fairly good at
tendance. George w. Cooley, of Mime
apolis, and president of the society pre-
sided. He started the ball rolling with
an address in which he referred to the
various phases Of the work of surveyors
and engineers, and then drifted to the
subject of good roads. He said he, with
others, had attended the National Good
Roads convention at Chicago, and that
much information was gained. He said
he had asked the committee on Ieglsia-
tion to present their Views on different
subjects and had laid stress upon the
good roads question. The committee will
probably be heard today.
The report of c. A. Forbes, the sec
retary-treasurer, of St. Paul, was next
listenede to. He said that the society mad
secured many new members and that it
was growing steadily as the years went
by.
H A. Boardnnan, president of the Com
mercial club, followed with his address
of welcome. He said the club was pleased
to entertain the society, and mentioned
the wonderful advance In the professions
it represented.
Prof. W. R. Hoag, of the university,
read paper on THE Repair and Main
tenance Of Draining Ditches." He said,
in part:
1.-The problem confronting. the engineer
who proposes to provide a speedy re-
rnoval of excess water from pieca Of
country is an interesting one. After the
general geographical distribution of the
bitches had been agreed upon, the en-
gineer must then determine where, of
size, and of what length the several
bitches shall be built. In fixing these
important matters he must consider the
probable behavior Of the bitches in serv-
ice, the nature of the soil, the character
and extent of the area to be drained,
since all of these will have an important
bearing upon the nature and the cost of
the maintenance of the ditches
The speaker then went into an exhaus-
tive explanation of how bitches, after
being built, could best be kept in a state
of repair He was listened to with much
interest, more particularly so by the
members of the society, for the paper
was largely technical.
A paper on .Sibley County Surveys
was read by Stephen F. Mullen, of Sib-
ley county. and another on The Results
and Effects of Good Roads," by w. C.
Frazer of Rochester.
A general discussion on good roads fol-
lowed.

Stewart, Redwood Falls, president OF the
association. presided. He delivered the
opening address expressing much pleas
nrc at the good attendance and stating
that the farmers were the basis of the
states proserity. He recognized the fit-
ness OF holding a convention in the Saint
ly City, saying it was the hub of the
state. and also an educational and bus

coined the visitors Individually and en-
masse in an appropriate manner He
echoed the sentiments already well e,l-
pressed by the president of the assocla-

ness of the companies in the state and the
pToSpects-yfor the future were reported
to be good.
A number of questions were suggested

whether 60 cents per 500 insurance should
be charged, or whether the companies
should depend f6T thkir revenue principal
ly on assessrues sltss The, consensus of
opinion favored the latter
The second question was whether or
not the companies should change the
law with reference to the time limit of
paying assessments. from. sixty days to
thirty days No action was taken.
The third question was as to whether
the companies should charge school
houses, rural churches and the like, the
same or double Nates. The consensus of
opinion favored kouA rates. No import
ant action was taken, however
The third proposition was as to wheth-
er Insurance should take effect on the
