Resident Engineer under contract system.

Resident Engineer is in the difficult position

of serving two masters. This has not in practice

been found inconvenient so long as the Resident

Engineer has possessed the necessary qualifica-

tions to enable him to enjoy the confidence both

of the consulting Engineer and the Government,

and has not been exposed to interference by

Government officers in mattera properly within

the province of the Consulting Engineer. If

these conditions cannot be secured there is risk

of failure to achieve a satisfactory result,

and some other system had better be adopted.

This ay, if circumstances are favourable,

be the contract system, in which case inter-

ference by the Government with the contractor's

agent will bring about its own penalty in heavy

cost. Or the Resident Engineer may be placed

under the control of the Government alone, the

Consulting Engineer being either dispensed with

altogether, or relieved from responsibility

for the success of the work as a whole, his

functions being limited to giving advice and

assistance on such specific points as may from

time to time be submitted to hám.

12. When the contract system is adopted, it

may still be necessary to appoint a Resident

Engineer to supervise the work done by the con-

tractors; in that case his function is of course

more limited than under the departmental system,
