The County Commissioners have appointed Louis Pio as County architect and head of the County Hospital.

Mr. Pio was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. His background is rather varied. He was appointed second Lieutenant in the Danish Army in 1864, he afterwards became a teacher, and later a journalist. He came to America in the seventies. We feel that Mr. Pio is far from qualified for these posts. He is not a Doctor nor is he an architect. We think that the county has again given its "favors" in the wrong quarters. We may just as well appoint a barber to design battleships, or tailor as a Civil Engineer.

We give Mr. Pio just one month before he gets his dismissal slip.
