MAYORS EXPLANATION OF
CITY ENGINEERS WORK

There has been so much said at
home and abroad concerning the
Abilene city engineer in connection
with the utilities department and
from the fact that some imagine
that the engineer and street de-
partment is costing more this year
than before it might be well to let
the public know just what the city
engineers salary is and how it is
paid. Also to mention the general
substance Of his duties with refer
ence to this year and last. Last year
the engineer was employed by the
city to supervise the paving work
and during the year he drew eight
months of straight time averaging
$lO4 per month. His duties were
to supervise paving, SO in fact he
was paving engineer, not city
engineer. All other engineering
work which the city had done, such
as grades for sidewalks, water mains
and sewers, maps, etc., had to be
paid for by the piece and amounted
to as much II not more than 500
per month. His salary came frc n
the paving fund and the total cost
of plans, specifications, estimates
and supervision was less than per
cent of 100000, the final estimate.
With Burns & Mcdonnell this wac
per cent.
Now this year the engineer is
paid a salary Of 800 per month.
His duties are those OF any city en-
gineer. To have supervision and
control of all work which pertains
to engineering, under the supervis-
lon and control of the commission
ers. All of his time now belongs
TO the city and during the six
months that he has received straight
time, all but $50 has come from the
paving fund. Therefore the only
difference between this year and
asst IL that now at the same salary
he city has all of his time and In
addition to supervising the pave
nert. he prepares estimates, plans,
specifications and supeTyises all Of
he engineering work. He also keeps
