efficiency of his office may be greatly
improved and It's value TO the citizens

just demands. Our Investigations have
proven that the City Engineers Office,
handling large amount OF the citys
business. is no different from any
other large business. and If we are to
expect satisfactory. as we'll as eco
nomical conduct of that Office, the chief
of the Office should be clothed with
the authority to employ or discharge
such persons as in his judgment con
tribute to OF detract from the success
Of the city's affairs that come under
