Hon. Waterman Would Like
Steady Job With the County

Do the people OF Umatilla county
want the county TO turn back to the
old system Of road work under the
direct supervision OF the county Judge
and commissioners with each commits
sioner putting in practically full time
at the county's expense at the rate
Of SIS per day and expenses?
This is the ys'em that was in vogue
during the time when Messrs Gill;
land and Walker were In control OF
the court and there are well defined
rumors that an effort is on TO have
the system adopted again. Commis-
sioner Waterman is said to be partic-
ularly anxious TO have the plan ad-
opted. II il not OF record that this
gentleman has any capacity to handle
road work OF any sort yet he Is urg-
ing other members OF the court TO
let him have personal charge OF all
west end road work and II is said he
would further like TO have the county
provide him with an automobile for
his personal use while he tours his
district County Judge Marsh is de-
clared to be opposed to going back
to the old policy but what position
Cockburn will take Is
not vet known. II the county engi-
neer should be done away with II

requiring engineering ability. Whether
Mr.. Cockburn wishes to assume such
a responsibility remains a question.
one OF the reasons urged for going
back to the old system of road super
vision is that the change would get
rid Of County Engineer Martin, an Of
ficial who has made some enemies
possibly some blunders and whose
scalp some people would like to see
taken.
In answer to this those who defend
the county engineer system say It Is
not necessary 20 abolish the system
in order to abolish Mr.. Martin. They
point out that IL he Is unsatisfactory
for any reason he should be removed
and another man named. They con-
tend the system is more important
than the question of who shall be en-
gineer. II is contended that a county
that does as much road and bridge
work as does Umatilla County can af-
ford 10 have at least one competent
man to say what should be done and
how During the past few years the
county engineer has been drawing all
bridge plans for the county. II the
position should be done away with
the county would have to employ
special talent for bridge work at con.
siderable expense or rely upon some
such system as A. +. Eberhart oper-
ated under in the days OF the old
court.
