City Engineer.
Ordinance No. III provides that
the council shall appoint city sur
veyor who shall perform the work
OF a city engineer. I regret that the
council has not seen ht to appoint
such an officer A competent en-
glneed IS, to my mind, one OF the
most urgent needs OF tho city. He
should be man OF technical train
ing and experience In all the
branches OF municipal engineering,
including sewerage. drainage, bridge
building. surveying, paving and the
many engineering problems con-
fronting growing city of Salem's
Importance.
Daring the past year we have
spent at odd times over $2,400 for
engineering and surveying. enough
to secure the continued services OF
first class man for the entire year.
Had we such a man some year and
n half ago the city could have saved
more than his years salary on one
North Commercial street project
alone.
One OF the most urgent tasks TO
confront such an officer would be
the planning OF a sewerage and
drainage system for the vast dis
trlo,s OF Southeast and South Salem
which are now entirely without fa-
cilities.
Another matter for the attention
OF a city engineer is the readjustment
OF surveys. The original survey OF
a great part OF the city was faulty,
so much so in fact that most blocks
are from one to three feet longer
each way than the plats show them
to be. This makes street lines an
certain and some districts will have
to he resurveyed, definite corners
fixed and permanent monuments es-
tcblished. This refers especially TO
the newer residence sections. In
sops localities private fences are
twenty feet in the street.
A city engineer would have much
work before him in establishing
grades. Four-hfths of the eity's
street area Is without grade. Where
no grade Is established, elevations
for sidewalks and crossings cannot
be furnished. In such localities
residents have been p .rmitted TO lay
walks in any manner 10 suit them
selves and great irregularity has re-
suited. No street open TO trafhe,
whether improved or not. should be
without a grade.
Concrete Bridge Farce.
Oar city is traversed by many
swift flowing streams with shifting
courses and uncertain gravel beds,
and the task of properly bridging
them is one for an experienced en-
gineer.

Fl, Pierre Independent:-The
Fort Pierre Brick Company is
rapidly forging to the front, and the
man who prophesied a few months
ago that gumbo could never be
utilized as building material has
another guess coming. The last
kiln burned varies in color from a
light pink to deep, blood red, and
the product is SO hard that it is
almost impossible to chip off a cor
ner. The stationary kilns will be
completed within a few days, and
that will mean still further improve
ment in the output of the plant as
far better results can then be OBJ
tanned in the burning. The manu-
facturers, Harlan & Kuester. are
now figuring on putting down two
or more ~artesian wells with a view
to utilizing the natural gas for fuel,
which will materially cheaper the
cost of production.
