Abstract
This subject is of vital importance, because incompetency, inefficiency, or dishonesty in the handling of highway work may cause a larger percentage of waste of funds than in almost any other class of work. However excellent the personnel of the organization may be, there will be much waste unless all parties work harmoniously, steadily, and efficiently toward the end in view. There is the further difficulty, that, if the organization is not reasonably harmonious, many of the best men will become disgusted and resign, which would make it doubly hard to s e cure others to take their places. The subject can perhaps best be studied by taking a concrete example, such as the Pennsylvania State Highway Department.
