result in preventing the commission
from having such work, covered by

government before July |, 1918. With
national scarcity of engineering as
sistance and with several of our en-
ployees already called into military
service, the highway commission will
have serious time, at the best, 10
turn out all our work according 10
schedule. To produce in three
months, plans and estimates for near
ly five hundred miles of road work,
and to plan work from one to three
years in advance is no task to be per-
formed by any such office as the state
auditor seems to feel that we should
have. The inspired contention that
We are Over-stocked with help is es-
pecially unwarrantel and very i'll

The highway commission welcomes
at all times helpful and constructive
criticisms and are at this time glad
of the opportunity of presenting me
facts with reference to the matter,
since a rigid inspection of the work
of the state highway commission for
the first nine months will show that
the commission has, for newly or.
ganized department, conducted its af
fairs with economy and to the best
interests of the state. However, we
dcplore the occurrence of such an
annoyance at this time when all of the
undisturbed energies and resources of
our department should be absorbed in
the work that thers IS yet to do.
