ENGINEER BOYLE
WILL Be RETAINED

Since the election of Governor
Cddie 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
eddie will retain Mr.. Boyle as
State Engineer.
While this may be a disappoint-
mcnt to the many who have been
recommended for the office many
friends of Mr.. Boyle from both
party lines, will be pleased to learn
that he will retain the position.
It is one of the most important in
the state and one that requires such
training as the present engineer
has. The retention Of the office
is on efficiency alone, and this is
certainly n qualification. The
Appeal believes that Governor
Oddie is making TO mistake should
he decide to make the appointment
of Mr.. Boyle permanent. Carson

This man has visited Bismarck from

Another thing of which the aver
age Bismarcker is not congnizant' IS
the fact that there is more building, IN
