supervisors this afternoon elected c.
E. Smith as county engineer, the vote
being unanimous. the position OF
county engineer is a new one and
takes the place of the Office of county |
surveyor, which was abolished by the |
last legislature. The new law gives
the board of supervisors the option
also of having the engineer take
charge of all bridge work in the coun. |
ty, and it is understood that the |
Henry county board will adopt this
plan. Mr.. Smith will therefore per.
form the duties of county engineer,
and also be foreman OF the bridge
work of the county. The salary is |
fixed by the board, but will probably |
amount to about 800 per month. |
Mr.. Smith is a graduate of Iowa Yves |
