NEW STATE ENGINEER HAS
ASSUMED DUTIES OF OFFICE

Professor J. E. Scrugham. recently
appointed State engineer by Cover
nor Boyle. has taken over that office.
Mr.. Scrugham said that while B. G..
Mcbride of Elko had been appointed
as his assistant, he would not assume
his new duties until about the first of
October next Until that time Sey-
mour Case, the present assistant en-
gineer, will be retained.
Mrs. Harvey Edwards has been ap-
pointed as stenographer. and Frank
Warren of Reno, an engineer and
draughtsman, will occupy a position
on the clerical force of the Office.
Outside of those named, no other ap-
pointments have been announced.
In the retirement of William Kear-
ney as State engineer, who has been
in charge for the past six years, that
department loses a valuable, pains
taking and efficient official. He has
made a splendid record in the conduct
of his Office. In the fights he has
made through the courts for the en-
forcement of laws, his contentious
as to their legality have been sus-
tanned by the highest legal tribunals
in the State, and in all instances he
has come out victorious.
Mr.. Kearney, upon leaving Carson
City, will leave many warm friends
behind who wish him success in his
future undertakings. He will leave
tomorrow evening for Goldfield, Ton
opah and Las Vegas on a trip of about
two weeks duration, returning to
Reno about June 1. where. with Mrs.
Kearney, he will make his permanent
home.-[Carson City Appeal.
