THE WHY OF 1T.
Melbourne Paper criticses Lack Of
County Surveyor.

county surveyor
The current issue Of the Melbourne
Record criticises the board of super
visors for not filling the office of coun-
Nv surveyor, a position, which the ia"
no longer authorizes. The Record
says:
"A short time ago a prominent far
72er OF this vicinity wished 10 have
his farm surveyed. Knowing that the
law provided for county surveyor he
applied to the county supervisors and
received the pleasant and expensive
advice Go 10 Ames.'
Go 10 HI would have been pust
as appropriate. When the county at
torney was absent a substitute was at
once supplied for various reasons. The
office of county surveyor has been va
cant for some time, but no substitute
was provided.
The county supervisors are servants
Of the people and should look after the
interests of all. They guarded the in
terests of few in providing substi-
tute attorney, but neglected the inter
ests of many in neglecting the vacancy
in the office of surveyor.
IF the public officers can't serve the
interests of all the people. or if they
are TOO small TO carry the burdens OF
their office. it is self evident that they
should make room for some one capa-
BILE of doing the work.
1T is a pleasure to know that cleo
tons come more than once in lee-
time. \ republican failure is just as
bad as any other, and many Marshall
county voteds will take pleasure in a
J q a.
fec.s at the next election"
If the Melbourne paper will recall
the new Iowa law that did away with
the elective office Of county surveyor,
and understood the situation with the
board, the criticism would doubtless
have been at least milder.
The legislature. at the last session,
abolished the office OF county surveyor.
and placed with the board Of super
visors OF each county the power 10
employ what is known as a county en-
gineer If the board so sees At. Such
employment is not obligatory, how
ever.
f. p. Zines. Of the board. said today
that the board had tried to get some
one to take the work, but there is no
one here who could fill the position who
is not otherwise employed. The boar
did appoint an engineer for two months
during the summer. but no call was
made upon him for services. AS the
farmers have TO pay for the services Of
an engineer anyway. the board feels
that it is about as handy to secure
some one from Ames as from any
other place. and especially if there is
no one here TO DO the work.

council to order for the regular annual
meeting. In calling the council to or
der Mayor Murphy used for the first
time a gavel made Of California or
angewood, which was presented to

Rerick. The gavel is q very excel
lent piece Of workmanship and Mayor
Murphy values the gift highly.
Mayor Murphy opened the meeting
by reading his annual message which
will be found in an other part of this
issue. The message was very full
one, covering all Of the work done in
the past year and making suggestions
for the coming year. The message
gives good idea Of the worth Of the
city at the present time in comparison
with other cities Of this size in the
United States. It was received with
much applause by the council.

was then taken up. Alderman Buck

ed that as Alderman Ryan was an
older member of the council that the

moved that Aid. Sorlie be elected. The
motion was carried.
Alderman Valley made speech to
the council thanking them for the
honor bestowed upon him and stating
that he would make no changes in
the personnel of the committees, as
he considered that as there were no
changes in the council, he considered
that the committees which have been
working together for the past year,
now are familiar with their work, and
for the best of the council It would
be wise to leave the committees as
they are.

Auditing-Sorlie, Smith, Turner.
