HAMLIN NAMED
CITY ENGINEER
Successor Of the Late Harry Stafford
to Resign Government Position
Held During the Past
Six Years

Homer Hamlin will succeed the late
Harry Stafford as city engineer.
He was appointed by the board Of
public works yesterday afternoon and
has accepted the position. The place
was offered him by the board Wednes-
day afternoon, but Mr.. Hamlin asked
q little time for consideration and gave
a favorable answer to the board yes
terday.
Mr.. Hamlin will not be a stranger in
the city hall when he is sworn into
office, which will be sometime today.
For more than two years he was EN-
ployed in the city engineers depart
ment under City Engineer Compton.
Later when Frank Olmstead was elect
ed city engineer he appointed Mr.. Ham
lin his chief deputy and Mr.. Hamlin
served in this capacity until about six
years ago, when he resigned to become
identified with the government reclama-
ton service.
Since his connection with the govern
ment Mr.. Hamlin has been with the de-
partment of Arizona, and some of his
best work is found in the irrigated
sections around Yuma. He is the auth
or of several learned treatises on irri-
cation and other engineering topics
AS city engineer Mr.. Hamlin will re-
engineer his salary has been much
greater, but the fact that his family
lives in this city and that in the re-
clamation service he was compelled to
be separated from them for months at
a time. induced him to accept the
boards offer, which came unsolicited.
Only two men were considered for
the place. Mr.. Hamlin was one and w.
S. Kingsbury, chief deputy under Staf-
L Ytrer cIt,,sx
was urged by the board to accept the
place, but as he hopes to be elected
surveyor general of the state he re-
fused.

Ten thousand people will come on

souri, alone, headed by Governor Folk

Mr.. johnson is Il unique figure. He
stopped money making in the very
