County Highway Engineers.

There is some meat for thought
In the following paragraph,
from the Farmer & Breeder, pub
lished at Columbia, by VIM. Hirth,
who, as it happens, is former
Audrain county man:
GA local paper states that a
petition is being circulated asking
the county court to call an ele ;
ton in Audrain county to vote on
the proposition to abolish the oi-
flee of county highway engineer
After this is done what has been
accomplished The law provides
that when the office of the county
highway engineer has been abol.
ished then the surveyor shall be
ex-ofieio county highway engin-
eer and practically the only DIFF
ference is that the surveyor act.

employed Now the question IS
what county in this state is will
ing to entrust the building of a
bridge or the construction of any
contract work without some one
to look after the interests of the
county, The change in the law
will make but a few dollars diff
ference in the expenses Of the
county and if the surveyor is not
the best man for the place there
is no way to make a change before
the next election, whereas if the
county highway engineer is iu-
competent the court may remove
him and get a man who is com
potent. If the engineer is a good
business man he can save the
county more than his salary every
year as has already been dem
onstrated in number of counties,
and he should be able to show an
improvement in the roads provil-
ed he is given the means with
which to do the work. just, al well

ers a fair and careful inyestiga-
