We request your authorization now to start recruiting and hiring these men im- mediately so that we can get the plans for next seasons projects surveyed this fall and planned this winter.

We urgently request, however, in the interests of economy and good service, that every effort be made to acquire an adequate staff of Engineering employees to pland and supervise the • forthcoming program. The program for the next severe-1 years will -require an additional Design Squad, a Survey Crew, a Mapping Draftsman, a Construction Engineer, an Inspector, a Maintenance Engineer, seasonal help, additional drafting rooms, and equipment. .
