CHIEF BOND AS SECRETARY

Whereas, 1t is with feelings of personal
grief that the members of the Board of
Water Commissioners learn of the death
January 21 1901, at the dawn of the new
century, of our most beloved president
William H. Porter, therefore be it
Resolved, that we extend to his be-
reayed family our sincere coincidence and
heartfelt sympathy realizing that he was
equipped by nature with body Of
strong. manly proportions, mind of
great power and Il heart with noble and
generous impulses, he has reached by
sheer ability and character the easily
won position as leader among his fel-
low men. and the highest encomium
that we can pass upon him is that he
measured mp by fulfilling his entire duty
as Il citizen.
Resolved, that as president of the
Water Commission he developed fame
that will doubtless remain forever un-
equaled. A new dignity and power,
new standards were erected, the commits
sion became real, vital and in a sense
supreme 1t was the work of that
commission and in an especial sense the
work of William Il. Porter to lay the
foundation and rear the frame work OF
! new kind Of management in the muni
cipal water supply He dominated tht
commission. not wilfully. but by sheer
mastery of his extraordinary mind. His
fairness and judicial temper kept hin
from becoming in any sense a partisan
or an advocate. The clearness of hi.
analysis enabled him to exercise dis
nminating and sound Judgment in whicl
his associates learned to trust.
Resolved, that copy of these resolu
