The County Survey

King county will welcome sincere effort to survey
expenditures with the view of making recommendations for
the elimination of waste and extravaganza
1t is notorious fact that the county, for
has been paying higher rate many articles than the
city.
1t is equally notorious that the county payroll has
number of hangers on. The dead wood in the county
ought to be eliminated as quickly possible.
The necessary employees should be paid adequately.
1t is false economy to have and women work for
less than decent American wages.
BY eliminating the unnecessary employees and cutting
out waste projects and loose methods of purchasing the
employees the taxpayers and the county general will be
benefited.
The committee headed by Laurence Colman, have a
fine opportunity for service.

used to require three transactions is
now handled as one. There will not
be a great saving on help. Twenty
nine men are now required to do the
work that under the old system called
for. thirty-three men, but the big
item is in the accommodation to the
public. There will also be saving
of go per cent in rent which In the
twenty large cities of the eastern
traffic territory will amount to
100000 year.
The beginning Of this consolidated
service was made in Washington be-
cause of the government need for tho
buildings occupied by the various
ticket Offices, but it will be extended
to other cities as soon as possible.
Until this change was effected, one
train leaving Washington at mid
night might have only half of it's
sleeping car accommodations sold
out, while another might be sold sew
eral days in advance, 80 that finding
out on which road accommodations
could be secured involved time in tel
ephoning or in visiting the different
ticket offices. Now the ticket clerk
in the office can tell ticket purchas-
er just how the accommodations are
on all of the roads.
Previous to this Innovation B. & o.
traffic between Washington and New
York was less than that on the Penn
sylvania because the B. & O. was
obliged to stop on the New Jersey
side and ferry it's passengers across
the river. Now, under government
management the B. & o. trains run
through the Pennsylvania tunnel un-
der the Hudson river and into the
great Pennsylvania station at 33d
street and 7th avenue.
The Pennsylvania terminal has thus
become great public utility instead
: of an accommodation for the passen-
gers of one particular line.
Freed from competition and under
single management, the railroads
J of the country handled 20 per cent
more traffic in April, 1918, than in
, any previous month in the whole his
, tory of railroads in this country. In
, creased efficiency is shown also in the
, repair department. Now a car or an
, engine that needs the services Of y
Y mechanic is hauled to the nearest re-
r pair shop instead Of being taken, as
was formerly the case, many hun
dreds of miles to the company shops.
1t is said that opposition to gov

cally dwindled to the high salaried
, men who see their positions about to
vanish under the new efficiency sys-

Mr. W. [. cemy.-Bsisdsr Of sh;p.

The first concrete ship has been
successfully launched. The credit for
this achievement is mainly due to w.
Leslie Comyn, President of the San
FRANCISCO Shipbuilding Co. Himself
not shipbuilder, but possessed of
unbounded confidence in the ability
of structural engineers and in rein
forced concrete as a structural ma
terial, he undertook to build boat
that would carry load of 5000 tons.
His only precedent was a barge of
few hundred tons capacity, and one
designed only for smooth water SER
vice. Yet his assurance and his en-
ergy were so great that he managed
to finance this bold experiment, and
great concrete ship is afoat and
will soon be carrying the first cargo
ever to cross the sea in bottom"
of stone.
American structural engineers de-
signed the structural steel ship"
which is being built in great num-
bers; and now American structural
engineers have designed reinforced
concrete ship that seems likely to
give the structural steel ship" as
well as the submarine, a run for it's
money.
In the midst of exultation over
these achievements of American Civil
Engineers as a class, don't forget the
individual who had the initiative to
transmute the fabric of a dream into
that first ship of stone whose pen
name is Faith" but whose real name
is w. Leslie Comyn.-Highway Maga-
zine.
