Applicant for Office of City Engineer Gives Req sons Why a Better Sys- tenn Should Be Adopted Here

As this k the time of year when new officers are appointed by the city council, Ii in it's opinion any changes are desirabe. Engineer Horace A Cook last night presented to that body his application for the position of city engineer, on a salary basis. He took occasion to recommend a change in the system, arraigning the present en- gineering methods as obsolete. unfair and expensive. Following is q conv o1 his application and his argument in support of change of system 1t may be said in passing. that his ap plication was supported by recom- mendations by II. F. Jones C. F.

 Phoenix. Ariz. May 27th. 1912.
 To the Honorable. the Mayor and
 Common Council of the City of
 Phoenix. Arizona
 Gentlemen:-I hereby make applica-
 ton to Nour honorable body for ap- continent tO the position of city en- glneer on salary basis. as opposed to the fee system now in vogue. and beg leave to submit the following com parison of the operation of the two systems.
 l, It can be shown that the fee system has been far more expensive
 than if the department had been op- erated on a salary basis The fees for engineering services for this year and last will amount to about $30 OO0
 It can be shown that a salaried en- glneerlng department could have done all the engineering work required by the city in the two years mentiored at cost not to exceed $20.00O thus effecting saving of fully $50OO a wear. This profit would have been enjoyed by the taxpayers at large un- der the salaried system II is unusual for city with as large q program of engineering construction work as
 Phoenix now has in progress to con tinue the engineering work under the
 fee system because of the greater economy and more thorough results
 obtained on a salary basis. The fee system demands profits. under a sal aried system the engineers only con cern !s for thoroughness and eff ciency
 :. Under the fee system the records of surveys and monuments have not been equally available to all practic- 1 ing engineers. The notes of the city survey work are claimed by the pres ent city engineer to be his private property This position k not de- feasible as it violates the ethics of the engineering profession, and prevents i the operation of common justice. The correctness of this assertion Is indi- cated by court decisions concerning | this identical point
 A surveyor engagd to make a survey i of property in most of the subdivisions within the city finds when the prop erty embraces only a few lots that the cost of establishing the street lines ] is greater than the extent of the job will warrant. hence he is compelled to ] decline the job If the tract embraced ' q fairly large area he would be able i to establish the lines without diff culty. Unfortunately the survey work { is almost entirely of the first va riety, so the practicing engineers find

 by the accident for the blow to the Arkansas is thought to have been
 just such a clip as the heel of the ice berg inflicted on the bottom of the ill fated Titanic. At the point where the Titanic was struck there were no inner compartments, not even coal bunkers but only thin skin of the ship Naval constructors said today that the compartments saved the Arkansas from going to the bot tom The Arkansas was able to go out again today to finish her trials.

was required in the west OF Ireland was
more and better land for those that had
been transferred to new holdings. thor

are now under water, better housing for
the poor and a road for every man to his
door. These things We're often overlooked
by tenants in signing their agreements
for direct sales, and for that reason he
was glad that many sales had not yet
taken place in that district. In future
the sales would be made through the
congested districts board, who would
carry out the necessary improvements
before selling to the tenants.
The landlords would sell, and sell
quickly At the moment they were tum-
bling over one another to do SO, and the
congested districts board was doing its
utmost to make its machinery equal to
the speed necessary to hasten the solu-
ton of the land problem. When the peo-
pie had been placed on the land the home

trial resources of the country. SO that
there would be ample employment for all
in the country.

New Master Of Rolls.

Charles A. O'Connor, the Irish attorney
general, wit 10 has been appointed to the
nrastershfp Of the rolls, has long been the
acknowledged leader Of the Irish equity
bar. He had distinguished career in
Trinity College. Dublin, and was auditor
Of the College Historical Society. It was
on the occasion of Mr.. O'Connor's audi
torial address, in November, 1877. that
the late Lord Randolph Churchill, who
was at the time member for Woodstock
and private secretary to his father, the
Duke Of Marlborough. as lord lieuten-
ant of Ireland, made his first important
political speech. which Immediately
brought him into prominence in public
life.
The new master Of tho rolls is highly
popular at the bar. and his first great
promotion to the Office OF solicitor general
was marked by prolonged outburst of
enthusiasm In the law library Of the Four
Courts, Dublin. Mr. O'Connor Is Ro-
man Catholic. and only one Roman
Catholic has filled, since the Catholic
emancipation act, the mastershtp of the
rofls-Sir Michael O'Loghlin. who held
the position which had been offered to
O'Connen from 1885 till his death In
1872.
A novel experiment in teaching domes-
tic science in cottages has been carried
out in Ireland on the principle that an
attempt to teach the poor household man
agement with utensils and apparatus they
can never have in their own homes Is ut
terly useless. The committee OF agricul-
ture and technical instruction in Queens
county rented cottage In the poorest
quarter Of Mountmellick for the purpose
of teaching to the girls and women of
the neighborhood the simplest forms or
cooking, washing, sewing and the utiliza-
ton of material which is usually thrown
away as worthless. Vegetables were also
grown by the students on a small plot OF
land The success OF the experiment was
entirely due to the fact that everything
was taught which would enable them to
become capable housewives on the most
limited resources.
