American presidents who chartered
the course for their country's pro-

The mountain from which the

leading role in the dedication had a

Although Rushmore is in a re-

WATER DEPT.
ENGINEER WANTED
Council May Be Asked to Trans
fer Williams to New Post
MAYOR WELD Is IN FAVOR
Proposal is Voted, Another Engi-
necr Must be Engaged as City En-
gineer and City Work Will Be
Divided.

Permission to employ a full time
engineer for the water department
will be asked at the common cOun.
Gil meeting next week. and it is ex-
pected that an effort will be made
to transfer City Engineer Joseph D.
Williams t" the new position.
Mayor Weld Approves
The proposition has the hearty
endorsement of Mayor Weld who
suggested such an arrangement in
his annual message. The mayor
called attention to the fact that huge
sums of money will be spent in the
next 10-year period in he develop
ment of the water supply and the
services of full time engineer, in
his opinion, is a necessity. Chairman
William L. Hatch of the water. board
is of the same mind and he will
cause the resolution to be introduce
cd. 1t is expected that the board
will ask the salary committee and
the common council to set the sal
airy at $4,000. Williams now re
ceives $500.
Plans Mapped Out
Allan Hazen of New York city is
consulting engineer for the depart
ment and he has laid out the ex-
tension program. It has been nee
essary to call him in for confer
ence at Intervals and the costs have
been high. When the installments
Of the Hazen plan which involve
greater technical questions than
those already completed are under
taken the calls for the services of
an engineer will be more frequent.
and it is the belief of Mayor Weld
that a money saving will be effected
by employing a full time. capable
man.
Divides His Time. Now
City Engineer Williams now di-
vides his time between the board of
public works and the water depart
ment and he Is thoroughly familiar
with the present and proposed wa
ter works. For this reason, the
board and the mayor agree that he
would be far more valuable as a
full time employe Of the water de-
partment than would be another
engineer who would come here with
out the information possessed by
Williams.
Should the transfer take place an
other city engineer will be employed
and Williams will not be called
upon to handle public works matters
except as a consultant.
Mayor Weld does not anticipate
any effort on the part of the COM
mon council to block the establish
mcnt of the new office believing that
sufficient proof of the advisability
of this plan can be furnished, he
said today.
While he would regret the passing
Of Engineer Williams to another de-
partment, Chairman Reginald Tow
crs of the board of public works de-
clared this afternoon he would not
attempt to stand in the way of the
program.
The director of public works de-
clared emphatically in favor of a
higher salary for Williams in the
event he is asked to take up the
duties of directing the wa
ter service extension. He also pre-
dicted that at some not distant day
the sewer department will be given
It's own engineer.
