Army service. Some of this work, for
which he was highly paid, was for the
State Of Alabama and the City of Chi

no mention of the controllers ruling
in submitting his resignation, officials
point to the ruling as evidence Of some
OF the false economy measures by
which the Government is losing the
services of highly skilled and technical
men for the sake Of saving a small
sum.
On Gen. Siberts case there will be
no saving, for the Government will
have TO name another member Of the
board. and to get an engineer Of equal
ability it will probably have to 60 OUT
side the Army.
The engineers in charge Of the Hoo
yer Dam work are now engaged in con-
quering the great American desert by
draining the Colorado River from its
canyon basin through four huge tun-
nels. The work is at a critical and
important stage.
