wide highway planning survey. The Conn. Highway Dept.
 At the Tuesday morning session the report of the tellers on the elec- tion of officers for the coming year will undoubtedly show Robert S.. Rose, of Hamden, engineer superin- tendent of the New Haven Trap Rock co. to be the new president, and Leslie c. Sumner, of West Hart ford, engineer of bridges and struc- lures, Conn. Highway Department, to be the first vice president, as they are the only nominees for these two offices.
 A spirited contest is expected for the office of second vice president between Lucian H. Beebe, of Uncas- vile, Senior Highway Engineer, Conn. Highway Dept, and William A. D. Wurts, Asst. City Engineer of Hartford. A tie vote on the letter ballot is not unlikely, as both men arc very popular. This has occurred before under similar conditions, in which case those present at the Tuesday afternoon meeting will cast another ballot to decide the winner.
 The term of City Engineer Charles A. Root, as director for the fifth dis- trict, which includes Waterbury, continues for another year. Water bury men who will render annual re- ports are Lawrence T. Scott-Smith, General Chmn. Meetings Comm. and William K. Simpson, Chmn. Exter- nal Affairs Comm.
 Applicants for membership in the society from Waterbury include Eric H. Schmidt and Arthur B. Tanner.
