Bill to Consolidate Boards and
Abolish State Engineer
Planned.
WOULD BE ONE BOARD
INSTEAD OF THREE
Claimed State Engineers Of
flee Is Costly and Move
ment Is for E ,onomy.

One Of the greatest causes Of ex-
pense in running the state, according
to Governor West, is the ever increas
ing demand for more boards with more
clerks and secretaries, and an eternal
demand for more and bigger salaries.
The people east Of the mountains cali
attention especially to the state engin-
eer's office, with which there is con.
siderable dissatisfaction. 1t is pro-
posed by them that the state water
board, the desert land board and the
state engineers office be combined
and all put under one board, doing
away with an extra lot Of secretaries
and clerks, and giving the board power
to appoint the state engineer.
Office Is Expensive.
VT is claimed the state engineers Of
flee is costly and that it recsivos nioacy
through special legislation for this or
that purpose and that these special
funds, while really charge against
the engineers office do not show as
such, coming as they do from special
acts.
A movement is on foot to submit
bin by the initiative to consolidate
these boards as above suggested, and
it will probably materialize. If this
should be done and the bill pass, it
will do away with the state engineers
office as separate department, and
put the office under control Of board
to take the place Of the Desert Land,
Board, the Water Board and the En-
gineer's office, having the one board
instead Of the three as at present.
Those interested in the irrigation
projects are unanimous in urging that
this be done.
