COUNTY ENGINEERS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW ZEALAND MAIL. Sir, —While we have so much going o® in our counties of interest to the ratepayers, L would wish to draw attention through your paper to something which I think should fee noticed, a 3 it affects our progress in public, works in more ways than one. It is, that while we have an engineer who is paid a gcwxJ salary, many of the unenlightened think it is to devote the whole of his time to the good of the district. He is doing a considerable private practice both as a surveyor and architect. I can see no objection to private work being done if the engineer has time for it after his other works are fulfilled, but at the present time we hear constantly that the engineer is too busy to attend to various works at present. Under these circumstances is there no way by which we can secure the whole of his tune, for it does not appear correct that his time should, be taken up in cutting up land and architecture while the work ia so far behind.— I am, &c., Ratepayer. \A airarapa, January 6.
