APPOINTING A COUNTY ENGINEER

This PAPER of the opinion that when the state good roads
association voted to ask the legislature to make the office of
county engineer apponve instead of elective took decided
step toward efficiency and economy highway development in
the state
There is tendency, fear, to attach too little
importance to the Office of county engineer More
be wasted through ncopetency the engineers office than
perhaps other county office It often happens of the
smaller counties that there not competent engineer the
county if there he refuses dabbe politics the
extent of becoming candidate Under the system
invariably chosen because of his qualifications
engineer but because of his ability campagner his party
affiliations.
The of county ncnded to hold the county
commissioners strictly account for road building
and to criticize them severely any faulty construction
not equeny the that the commissioners operating
under the handicap of incompetent engineer who
antagonsc to their plans and ideas If to hold
commissioners to strict accountability road matters should
lift this handicap and give them the engineer
who knows his business and who will hold his job only long
as he does his duty
One trouble with present system that the
public highways regarded everything except what really
is work that requires expert knowledge and the application of
business principles Until it recognized that road building
mands technical skill the taxpayers money will contne

in maintenance.
