THE COUNTY ENGINEER i You may talk about the troubles and the turnmol and the strife Attendant on the vagaries and trials of business life, There are many knotty problems to be solved within a year And there’s no one knows that better than the— County Engineer. He is met by friends and enemies and deluged with demands For crossings, roads and when they know full well his hands Are occupied by many things, but still they think it queer, If they’re told to go to hades by The County Engineer. He is mercilessly slandered by the men he must refuse, And from those who’ve never seen > him he is subject to abuse lAII odds and ends still lacking in the j ridings here and there, pre held as evidence against— V The County Engineer. li> by chance a thing accomplished ia unquestionably good, Hdl doesn’t even then receive the credit W>t he should, For| its so the beggar ought to on 1 sif: hundred pounds a year. Is tflte cry that greets the triumphs of 1 The County Engineer. Thoug i the roads we tread are sticky and the hills we climb are stiff, While we curse the County Council let is all remember if, We’d settled in this district with the | har ly pioneer We w juld realise the value of The County Engineer.
