Can the Republicans in their al
tempts TO prevent the Democrats OBJ
tanning control OF the engineering and
road departments. now that George NJ.
Collins, city and county engineer. is
leaving. make the ordinances which
they are planning to pass. work out?
This is the question being asked by
persons interested in the situation,
and there is a general feeling that in
this case the Il publicans are up
against it.
This evening an ordinance prepared
by Supervisor Arnold establishing the
position OF assistant city and county
engineer carrying all the pow erS
invested in the city and county engi-
neer when the latter is absent comes
up for second reading. Collins. now
ever, is severing his connection with
the municipal government. It is ad-
mitted that with Collins out the as
sistant engineer will be the nominal
head Of the department, but the posi-
ton Of city and county engineer is
already fixed by ordinance and even
tually will have to be filled.
