Edi tor Coos Bay Times: An article nppoarcd In tho Doecmbor 20, 191fi, issue or your paper entitled: "To Control All." Now as this nrtlclo rcriocts on my conduct of tho sur veyor's office, nnd as I had hoped Judgo Watson would recognize tho position In which his artlclo places mo In tho eyes of tho public and mnko somo effort to correct the Bamo, which effort ho docs not attempt, I would like to nnswor tho samo through tho columns of your papor. Tn tho first plnco Mr. WntBon Is quoted ns saying: "In Coos County engineering costs mnny dollars moro than It should twlco tho amount of work should bo dono for tho amount of funds oxpondod." Now In thlB mattor Mr. WntBon Is not a competent Judgo, as ho has no knowledge of tho engineer ing profession and therefore has no right to crltlclso tho work of men who havo apont half n lifetime In tho study nnd practlco of a tech nical profession, and r am satlsflgd that If Mr. Watson bad first con sulted othorB In this profession who havo hnd cxpcrlonco In tills lo cality, ho would not havo made this statomout. Mr. Wotson also Bays: "Our ox pcrlonco with county surveyors has boon very unsatisfactory. No sur vey has boon mado within tho limit provided by law for such work, and wo havo projects f- roads before us that will roqutrr now petitions for tho establishment of eamo bc foro thoso rights of way ran bo mado, according to statute" Now Mr. Watson's experience with county surveyors hns boon limited to a. fow months nnd ho docs not ronllzo tho amount of work required to put up largo projocts and that, therefore, largo projects movo slowly also that nn engineer when placed on a ploco of work requiring n largo oxpondlturo of money, should tnko tho nccossnry tlmo to look over all tho detallB Involved In tho . construction. In county road work the law requires tho surveyor to mako a preliminary survoy nnd plat show ing tho alignment nnd gonornl top ography also n profile showing grndes, nnd It tho samo Is prac ticable, to mnko a final location nnd doposlt with tho County Clerk comploto Bot of flold notes showing ties to Government corners along tho routo, tho locntlon and wltnoases to mllo posts and terminal pouts, a plat showing alignment nnd courses, location of nine posts, ties to Government corners, location nnd bIzo of crooks, mors, swamps, cuts nnd fills, also a profllo show ing grndos nnd tholr por cent, wat er courses, rivers, swamps, loca tion of culverts, drains, bridges, tldo boxes, highway, railroad and othor crossings, also tho amount of excavation nnd ombnnkmont and, cstimnto of total cost of construc tion and In connection with the Hoard of County Road Viowors to assess tho amount ot uamitgn to fault la It? I will lcavo It to tho Civil Engineers who havo had exper ience In Coos County. Judgo Wntson also Btntes: "Tho County Engineers ortlco should bo nbollshcd" nnd "Tho County Court Is contemplating tho plnn of not fur nishing tho Surveyor with help, hop ing thereby to tnko advantage of tho provision of the statuto which provides In caso of tho inability of tho County Survoyor to act tho Coun ty Court may appoint n competent Surveyor or Englncor." Now when Judgo Watson first took Offlco, tho County Court began by cutting down tho wnges of Bbmo of my crow, thereby causing mo to I Icbq some of my best holp, nnd now , is contemplating taking away thoi rest of tho help. This does not show a proper spirit on tholr part, ob In stead of ondenvoring to cripple an officer in tho dlBchnrgo of his sworn dutlcB, thoy should endeavor to ns Blst him by giving him competent help at rcasonablo -wages. The word inability as used in tho read law, means physical ability, not incompetency, and ns to compotency, I would bo porfectly willing to leavo that to t,ho judgment of the best En gineers who hnvo hod experience in Coos County. Dcllcvlng tho abovo Is sufficient to plnco tho offlco of County Survoy or in tho right light before tho peo ple, I wiBh to oxtond to tho Puhllc In general and to tho Profession In particular, an invitation to call at any tlmo It may bo convenient to thorn and examlno tho work which has been and is 'being dono during my tonuro of offlco nnd I will gladly give thorn any information I can. Yours truly ' C. S. M'CULLOCII . County. Survoyor I A To Editor Tho Times Tho "troublo nt Kontuck Inlot enmo to n climax again last Saturday morning, when a notlco was tacked to the school houso door stating that no rccnll election would bo hold thoro that nftornoou "on account ot u mlstnko in the date." Tho "mlstnko In tho dato" wns duo to tho fact that tho Insurgonta got In such n hurry to recall A. J. Stophnn thnt they changed tho dato on tholr notices after they had been posted Boveral days. Thoy did not discover that this invalidated tho call for election, until It was too lato to Ibbuo another call within tho pre scribed twenty days. Coos Bay newspapordom has henrd frequent rumors of "troublo nt Ken tuck Iulot" nnd tho trouble mnkors 'woro cngcr to be Interviewed, but A. J.
