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.
