19-1403. County engineer as surveyor, when; qualifications, powers and
duties of county surveyor.
The county engineer shall perform all the duties now or hereafter
required by law to be performed by the county surveyor, except in counties
having a population of more than one hundred thousand (100,000) and not
more than two hundred fifty thousand (250,000), and having a city of the
first class of seventy-five thousand (75,000) or more population, which
counties shall have a county surveyor regularly elected as provided by law,
who shall be invested with the powers and duties pertaining to the office
of county surveyor. No person shall be eligible to hold the office of
county surveyor or perform the duties thereof who is not a practical and
competent surveyor. In case there is no such practical and competent
surveyor in any county who will accept such office, and where such facts
are certified by the county commissioners of any county, then some
practical and competent surveyor may be appointed to such office from any
other county. This act shall be so construed as to permit any such person
to be county surveyor of one or more counties at the same time.
