ENGINEER SUBMITS COSTS IN DEFENSE An average engineering and inspection charge of 2.32 pet. for work done by the engineering department of Santa Ana for 1921 is shown in a report by W. W. Hoy, city engineer, submitted to the Santa Ana city clerk. The data has been submitted by the engineer in defense of his office against reported charges by citizens that costs of his office have been excessive. The complaints are said to have been partly responsible for a decision by the city council at a conference last Saturday afternoon to ask for Hoy's resignation, to become effective Feb. 1. Hoy has been officially advised of the action. The total amount of contract work during the year has been about $315,000, says Hoy in his report, the average engineering cost being 2.32 pet. Hoy received a salary of $2000 from the city and by keeping account of full time employed in engineering work on contract jobs and charged against the jobs, he reduced the annual cost to the city for his personal service to $745.37, or $62.11 a month, according to his report. In addition to this there is a charge of $1196.27 against the city for various items of work done by the office.
