ENGINEER BOYLE
WILL Be RETAINED

Since the election of Governor
Oddie there has been a scramble
for Office by every man who
thought he could hold down a
position. Among the many ap-
plications is that of State Engineer.
Many worthy applications have
been made to Gvernor Oddie for
the position.
While it has not been officially
annonced that he intends to retain
Emmett Boyle the present State
Engineer. yet it is safe to perdict
that Mr.. Boyle will continue in
the Office as its head for some time
at least. His work of the past
year and the work planned under
his direction needs his personal
supervision, and with this in view
it is understood that Governor
Oddie will retain Mr.. Boyle as
state Engineer. =
j While this may be a disappoint-
ment to the many who have been
recommended for the office many
friends of Mr.. Boyle from both
party lines, will he pleased to learn
that he will retain the position.
1t is one of the most important in
the state and one that requires such
training as the present engineer
has. The retention of the Off ce
is on efficiency alone, and this is
certainly qualification. The
Appeal believes that Governor
Oddie is making no mistake should
he decide to make the appointment
of Mr.. Boyle permanent Carson

A number of other important
sections have been taken from

one that relates to grating which
is defined as crime. A proviso on

Superintendent Ardery of the V

dispatch last evening from Frank

'Pedrolli and Imelli have just
returned from Little Valley, going

about Z to 8 feet in depth, Claim
this snow and ice will run off

The condition of Charles Jones
was very good last evening. 1t is
learned that his eyesight is not
destroyed as it was feared was the
fact when he was first found. The
cash over his eye was closed with
six stitches and the condition of
his feet has greatly improved, and
while his feet are badly frost
bitten, he stands in no danger OF
losing them. Friends of Mrs.
