OF HIS WORK

We feel that we could accomplish
more if means of additional trans
portation could be arranged, as the
one car we have is continually in use
on road work.
General Engineering: This office
has, as far as possible, tried to be
of general service to the public in
an engineering way. In view Of the
fact that we have had but one car,
in place of the two supplied to this Of
flee prior to 1928, and have been able
to employ only one deputy the year
round, and to employ but two chair
men when we had to actually have
them, operating for at least two and
one half months without the chain
men, and as we have done our office
work ourselves including all type
writing, correspondence, and keeping
road records, and as we have prac-
tically maintained our one car our
selves and the same is in as good
shape as when purchased, and as we
have assisted on numerous occasions,
in the force account work done in
the county, besides other services that
are too numerous to- mention, we feel
that it is in order to feel to some
extent proud Of our work for 1928.
The men we have had occasion to
employ in this office have all uni
versally been loyal and did the work
to the best of their ability and there
has been no men fired by this office.
We believe that the office of en-
gineer is the most important one in
the county, as we have the super
vision of the spending Of the major
portion of the taxes paid

A typical construction develop
ment from 1900 to 1920 is the one
or two car garage. The advent Of
the automobile has brought a new
set OF values. The insanitary barn
or unsightly woodshed lie gone.

Cf lower level, in which there is

device, the door sill should be
raised about foot above the garage

This Is to prevent the fumes Of

Of the building.
For a garage some distance from
the house. many Of the structural
considerations considered above do
not apply.
The design is important; it should
tie up with that of the house.
Its concrete floor should drain
naturally, and prevent dangerous
accumulations of water, oil or
grease. There could be a pit, also,
to permit working underneath the
car. There should be a sink, with
warm water available from the
house.

BUILDING BOOM THIS YEAR

So far building activity IS great

to give serious attention to.
Fair business treatment Of GUS
