BOARD SEEKS ENGINEERS
Water Commissioners Find Difficulty
In Securing Competent Men
to Do Expert Work

No meeting OF the water board was
held yesterday, owing to the failure
10 secure quorum. Two of the mem
bers of the board. Messrs. Sherman and
Fay, are out Of the city, but both are
expected back in few days. Mean
time 1t is not expected that any action
on the subject of selecting expert en-
gineers to pass upon the feasibility of
the Owens river project will be taken.
Members of the board say that in the
selection Of this board Of engineers
their greatest trouble has not been In
finding men qualified for the positions,
but In getting men who can so adjust
their affairs that they will be able to
attend to this work at the same time.
Three engineers are to be appointed,
and 1t is necessary that they get to
work at once. and to give up at least
two months time to the duties which
will be assigned to them Engineers
possessing the qualifications required
usually are busy men, and to find three
of them who can come here at certain
specified time is rather difficult task
