their nest Inside a lamp post. The

but they probably went right to tlie

that six years Inter several lamp

Local Realtors Hear
Engineer Report
(Continued from Page 1)
4. Undertakings contracted for
on a per ccntage basis arc more
likely to be completed promptly
and at a lower total cost.
Arguments against:
1. fly employing a full-time
city engineer the community ob
tains this service at a lower cost
per job than would otherwise be
possible;
2. Through continuous local
contact a full-time city engineer
arrives at an intelligent under
standing of local engineering
problems which cannot be equaled
by the hasty survey which the per
ccntage engineer must make;
•‘I. The full-time engineer is
able to develop a comprehensive
program for the co-ordinated phy
sical development of the commun
ity based upon careful, long-time
study of actual needs;
4. The full-time engineer is in
terested in the most effective sol
ution of particular engineering
problems rather than in making
profit on the transaction.
a
Among other things the letter also
said, “American cities have made con
siderable progress in the building up
of municipal departments of engineer
ing and the number of municipal en
gineers has reached a high figure.”
Information contained in other let
ters revealed the fact that out of a
total of 2,041 cities in the United
States under 10,000 population, 1,00(5
have salaried engineers. A letter
from Theodore Kendall, Engineering
Editor of the American City magazine
said, “Observation of data which has
come to me leads me to believe that
fully 7b per cent of the city engineers
are salaried engineers.” L. W. Wal
lace, Executive Secretary of the
American Engineering Council, had
this to say, “My personal opinion is
that for small municipalities, better
service would be obtained by employ
ing a consulting engineer on a per
centage or per diem basis than em
ploying a permanent engineer on a
salary basis.”
Mr. Lane had corresponded also
with Arthur Richards, an engineer
with a long and fine professional car
eer who is at present the city plan
ning engineer in Altoona, Penn. In
one of Mr. Lane’s letter’s to Mr. Rich
ard he explained that the local bor
oughs numbered in population about
8,000 or 9,000 cadi and that some
years engineering costs ran between
.$20,000 and $50,000 on a 10 per cent
basis. He said also that due to the
proposed bridge many important im
provements were contemplated in the
immediate future.
Mr. Richard’s reply in part follows:
“Inasmuch as you will have quite a
few costly improvements in the near
future and always will have your gen
eral niaintninance and small improve
ments to take care of, it is my opinion
that you could have the engineering
work done for much less by having a
city engineer and his force, than by
any other method. I am assuming of
course that the city engineer and his
force can perform at least as high
grade and efficient service as I pre
sume your present engineers are ren
dering.
“The question of fees depends to a
great extent upon the nature of the
work being done, and while 10 per
rent may be too high for street pave
ments and sewers it may not be high
enough for highly specialized work
such as sewage disposal and water
purification.
J cannot imagine how the engineer
ing cost in each borough can amount
to $20,01)0 to $50,000 a year inasmuch
as you say each borough lias a popu
lation of only about 8,000. If the
total population of all the boroughs
were about 20,000 the total cost for
engineering and inspection in my op
inion would amount to $20,000 per
year for all the improvements you
could finance or do in one year.”
In the suggested list of salaries for
municipal engineers which is approved
by the Hoard of Directors of the
American Association of Engineers
$",!i00 is given as a minimum and
$5,200 as a maximum per year for a
city engineer in a municipality under
15,000 population. This applies to an
engineer in charge of all the engin
eering work of the city except water
works. Salaries suggested for other
members of the engineering force in
a city under 15,000 population would
bring the total salary list in the de
partment to $8,000 lo $12,000. When
asked if any change had been made in
the salary schedule since 1020 when
if was approved, Acting Secretary M.
E. Mclvcr said,— “they( the Direct
ors) have seen no reason up to this
time to make any changes in the pre
vious schedule.”

made up by the Committee on fees
and services of the Association and
dated, 1925, gives 6 per cent as a
per centagc for complete construction
supervision on work costing up to
.$25,000 and gradually decreasing in
amount as the cost of the work in
creases until at the $1,000,000 figure
the per centagc is but 2 per cent.
When asked whether this included all
engineering costs the Acting Secre
tary answered, “The G per cent fee
includes, of course an assistant en
gineer. If additional engineers are
employed or if work is to be perform
ed not stated in the original contract
then such matters may be charged for
extra”.
Mr. Lane did not attempt to draw
any conclusions for his listeners but
simply presented the information as
it had come to him. He said that the
matter had to be decided in view of
local conditions entirely which were
not touched upon in this report. lie
said the enginering department was
the most important in any municip
ality particularly those in the devel
opement stage and that the engineer
ing office was always a target for
criticism, sometimes just, but often
unjust. As one of those present later
said the engineer is often the goat for
some politician and they often are
called upon to fight some other fellows
battles. The speaker described the pub
lic attitude as apathetic giving gen
eral public apathy in connection with
most public matters as the main rea
son and ignorance of engineering
principals and practices as another.
He closed by saying that he hoped the
information would he as interesting
and enlightening to those present a.
it was to him and offered to collect
any further information the Board
might de.sigc.
