powers, and Mr. Belgrave said that he was allowed to spend

and degree/jf control over the other engineers and the
Oil Gauger. The Adviser said that the State Engineer
could spend any sura in his budget, but I was not very

essentially an engineering Job and that in the past the
State had had to use the State Sngineer for this duty,
and that they would almost certainly have to do so again.
