LET'S TAKE NO CHANCES.

The County Commissioners have called for
member of the engineering firm which was
awarded the contract for directing the paving of
Sumter countys rural highways to come to Ameri-
next Monday to be present at a meeting of the
Commissioners on that date. The Commissioners
propose to find out just what can be expected of
the engineers from this time forward.
In taking which action the Commissioners of
Sumter county are not only eminently correct but
will have the genuine approval of the entire pub
lie. Although the contract has been in their hands
for several months, the engineers have not yet
completed single project to the point of having
1T submitted the state and federal authori-
ties for their approval dsapproval-a matter
essential before actual work here can be started
AS result it is unlikely that any paving work
under federal aid can be done at all this year.
When these engineers were given the contract
over several bidders, it the belief of the COM
rnissoners that at least one member of the firm
would be the job here practically all of the
time from the beginning of the project until COM
pletion of the paving; not a member of the board
would have felt safe to have entrusted to any
man. regardless of his ability or efficiency, this
great responsbility-the spending of million
dollars-unless they believed at least one of them
would be on the job at all times, personally
supervising the work and making certain every
pound OF material, every stroke of hammer
everything in connection with the paving, was ex-
actly as it supposed to be and as it should be-
thus far there has not been the necessity foY
either OF these engineers to be the job perman-
emily, while the preliminary detail work was beng
prepared but there is much dissatisfaction at the
Progress thus far made, and the people supporting
the Commissioners are demanding action.
Even if the delay is satisfactorily explained
next Monday, the people of Sumter county are
not going to be satisfied until one of the contracting
engineers themselves-one of the men directly re-
sPonsibe to the county, and not an agent or hired
assistant-takes charge of the job in person and
remains the job until it is finished The people
regard the per cent of S ,000 000 or $40, OOC
which the county agreed to pay the engineers (fal
