blame for the Hatchtown dam clam d disaster or to listen to tau tho tales of ot disregard to dul duty of vanous various various van vari vari- vari ous officials I Utah's reclamation projects thus far h have hc c not bt been n such a matter of oC pride as asto asto to do much toward the tho colonization of tho the state and thero is un undoubtedly dl a reason for it all that will well r ell justify some seine very cry rit rigid id introspection Our legislatures havo hare not provided d the proper expense funds for either the state dato engineers engineer's n department d or for the uses useR of tho the state land Jand board Our lawmakers lawmakers law law- makers have havo been beon too penurious at tho the wron wrong end of the game There Thero is no department of state which deman demands so 50 high a grade of engineering ability as I both of those mentioned which havo have so bo mu much h to do with possibilities for future futuro fu fu- fu turo ture weal or woo for tho farmers who are arc to live livo under and aDd by tho the help of ot reclamation works Inspections by competent engineers cannot be bo made unless tho the money has been provided by tho the le legislature forthe for the tho pa paying of the expense An Any examination nation of works of such magnitude as tho the dam am by an any one ono engineer cap engi neer veer should at least cast ba have havo 0 been by such an engineer as had hlll no political or oth official cial pull or any salary dependent dependant upon his report An inspection without fear r or favor could hardly bo be expected even now if jf made by br personal friends of or the tho political party in or out of ot power It should at least bo be nonpartisan and should go to tho the very bottom Petty ctt politics and tho the control of the construction construe tion of such works as 9 tho the building of the 1119 dam b by political ap appointees of ot but little engineering crin experience enco ence will probably bo ho shown to have been the basis balis for the tho di disaster aster Such experiences show more and more moro tho weakness of tho operation of our public work works under political appointment rather than un under er civil service The victims of such disasters can most certainly require tilt the state to reimburse re re- re imbur o their damages but are not thereal tho the real criminals criminal tho the men who by the use of their political or friendships full pull cause caused aused incapable men to he be placed in charge charo of such works and al also o last lalit but not least east the lc legislators who
