I have noticed for some time that your paper has been as , advocate of two of the most Tltal j factors In the "future progress of j this state, viz: Irrigation and good J roads, both subjects have been pret : ty thorougb.lv discussed through the press, and the people, with one nc jcord, seem to realize the necessity of earnest, prompt and well-directed .action on both questions, i It will probably be the duty of the ' next legislature to enact some new laws governing these" matters and revise some old ones to work In har mony therewith. As both subjects come within the province of civil engineering to a great extent it might be well while these questions are in the embryo, to examine the laws prescribing the duties of the office of county sur veyor. ! Present Status Is Trifling. As the law now stands that office Is of very little benefit to the people, and none whatever to the incum bent. The legislature of 1901 passed an act prescribing the duties of FOR EVERYTHING IN MEN'S FUR- EPurveyor nd there are a NISHINGS.

I be- survey of the above subjects and furnish evidence of good moral character, he should be commissioned a state en gineer for life, and as such he would be eligible for the office of county surveyor or deputy. Civil engineer ing is one of the learned professions and the sooner it is recognized by law and placed on proper footing. i the better for both the public and. the profession. ' The county snrveyor should be paid a fair salary, commensurate i with his duties, the fact that he has to provide himself with a lot of cost ly instruments and standard text books and books of reference as well as team and conveyance to carry him around, should not be lost sight' of. He should turn over to the coun ty treasurer all fees received by him for official surveys for private par ties, except mileage fees. He should be ex officio county road master and should constitute one of the viewers in the laying out of new roads. He should be a member of the county board in the considera tion of all matters of public improve ments. Properly Define His Duties. It is impossible here to define all his duties in detail, sufficient to say! that he should be entrusted with all I that comes within the province of j an engineer This would not entail) an additional expense, but would in-! sure a better public service for the" same cost It is ceitainly no boast! to say that the men of that profes-l ston are as honest, discreet and in-: telligent as men in any other calling. and are better fitted by education and experience to understand mat ters of public improvements than is the ordinary county judge, with all due respects for his august dignity, however.
