Synopsis
Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Municipal Engineer
One of my objects in writing this book was to give to the general public some better conception than they would seem to have at present of the work which devolves on a municipal engineer. Incidentally, its contents may show that such an official can take an interest in literature and in other subjects outside the scope of his daily duties. I am not aware that any other engineer has ever been sufficiently venturesome to write his life, and in this respect, I believe, the book is unique. My aim has been to make these reminis cences not only interesting but amusing, and as to how far I have been successful in this I must leave my.
