Within the memory of many still actively engaged on pub- lic work, the duty of the engineer was limited to the drawing up of the plans and specifications for work and his relation to the contractor and to the work was largely that of a surveyor, giving lines and grades and making estimates. The inspector in many instances was not a subordinate of the engineer, but reported directly to the executive officer in charge of the work and frequently owed his place on pub- lic work to political conside...rations rather than to any knowl- edge, experience or ability that he might have had. The ex- ecutive also exercised a very much greater measure of control over both the contract and the contractor. The abuses which grew out of such a system were many and of such serious proportions as to threaten for a time the stability of the contract system. It^ is only a few years ago when the corruption which grew out of this imperfect organiza- tion was so great as to throw a stigma upon all who were associated with public work.
