Keller, State Highwq Engineer of Alabama.) Despite the fact that a majorit of county commissioners or distrk supervisors, have had no trainin (whatever in road building, they wi concede to no one that they are nc as well qualified to direct road wor as any engineer they can employ They will often admit that an eng | neer should locate and stake off road, but they think his duty enc there. It is just as necessary that a engineer supervise construction wor as it is that he should locate the roa< How many commissioners can te how much it costs to move a yard c earth, or how much it costs to insta pipe culverts, or how much a cubi yard the concrete in their culverl is costing them? The commissioners of a certai county in Alabama claimed that the were building roads a3 cheaply c cheaper than any contractc could do the work. They had a engineer estimate the cubic yards c earth moved during a certain perio of time and to their surprise it wt costing 37% cents per cubic yar< ,when the average contract price i Alabama for three years had bee 28 cents. Authorities, should kno whether they are getting full vale for their money. Many counties ai imposed upon in the purchase of mi terials and supplies, and are payir more for them in large quantity than- individuals are paying for the: in small quantities. The remedy for these ills is 1 havd some one in charge of roa building qualified by education an training and free from political. ii fluefices, who can be held responsib] for results. Very few counties.ha\ commissioners or supervisors who dn vote all of their time and attentio to their office, and it is self-evidez that an engineer trained in roa< building will get. better results tha any set of men who give only a fe1 UO/O AAA MiC J W WICU VJ flee. An engineer is indispensable eve though a good superintendent direct the work. A large proportion of a roads to be constructed require rt location, profiles of them must b made, grades established, and, if tb work is done by contract, the roa must be cross-sectioned, and th amount of excavation and embanl ment calculated and made to balane as nearly as possible. No one bu an engineer can do such work, an the man who does it is manifest! best fitted to supervise the construc tion. The average road' superviso is usually ignorant of the methods o accounting correctly for large ea penditures and unable to keep cos accounts of the work. Many county commissioners cai see only the engineer's salary, to b paid twelve times a year, with th inevitable consequence that ther will be quite a decrease in the nun ber of days for which they can legiti mately demand pay for laying asid their personal work and superintend ing the building or repair of road in their respective districts. The; regard the engineer as a usurpei taking away the salary of . thosi guardians of the people's rights wh i Fertilizer isn't as hi eh as vou heard it was.
