BREITMEYER WOULD MERGE
ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS
Says Work for Various City Boards
Should All BE Done In One
Office.

Mayor Breitmeyer favors an amend
ment to the charter by which the en-
cheering divisions of the various city
departments shall all be merged into
the city engineers Office. AT present,
there are separate engineers for the
water board, public lighting commits
sion and park department, beside a
lot of outside engineering work done
for the fire department.
This plan would not only save the
city money in salaries but get better
results" says Breitmeyer. When the
park department engineer has paw
ing matter to consider. he has to call
in an outside engineer. Similar things
happen with the other commissions
and departments. The city engineer
now has a variety of work under his
direction, and he could just as we'll
handle 1t all with proper assistants.
That would prevent a confusion OF
plans by which our streets are now
torn up a number OF times for differ
ent departments, where they might be
torn up but once for all.
I'm other cities there is a separate
engineering bureau that attends to
that sort OF work for all the depart
ments. We have tried to get cooper
alton BY the cabinet meetings but the
work ought to be all In one Office"
