Annual Report of the State Engineer and Surveyor of the State of New York (Classic Reprint): January 15, 1907 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
This book is an annual report by the State Engineer and Surveyor of New York, detailing the work of the State Engineer's office during the fiscal year ending September 30, 1906, for the construction and maintenance of the public works of the State of New York, including a detailed report on the progress of the Barge Canal project, design, and construction of highway improvements, and the activities of various boards and commissions for which the State Engineer is responsible such as the Canal Board and the Board of Commissioners of the Land Office controlling sale and purchase of State lands. The author notes the extensive use of Portland cement concrete as a substitute for more expensive cut-stone masonry, and discusses the continuously increasing use of machinery, particularly for highway maintenance. The author emphasizes the Barge Canal project, noting the economic benefits of the project that would result in lower transportation rates and spur industrial and commercial growth in the region. The author advocates for a unified highway system to be overseen by the State Engineer, with uniform practices across all towns and villages, and for a new prison site to be established to provide a source of crushed trap rock for highway maintenance.
