RESPONSIBLE FOR WATER SUPPLY

AS project in engine, ring involving large eV-
penditures or money and the overcoming Of
difficulties. the new water supply for the city Of
New York from the Catslih Mountains is often
compared with the digging of the Panama
Canal. Both Of these schemes involve tile move
ment OF the materials used for construction IL
almost unprecedented quantities. and the engi-
neering difficulties Of the one although differing
from those Of the other have the common at
tribute of being to some extent uncertain as to
proper methods of solution
In this association it seems fitting that john
Anderson ReusoL president Of the Board OF
Water supply of New York City. should be a
native Of the metropolis with which his depart
ment plays so notable Part. He was born on
August 1G 1863 His preparatory educational
training was received in New York This was
followed by matriculation at the stevens Insti-
tute OF Technology in Hobokeu. N J. From II
he was graduated with the class OF 81. and
Immediately thereafter he entered the services
OF the Aqueduct Commission to work on the sur
Veys for what were then the new Croton River
dams. Later In the same year Mr.. Rensel
entered the service OF the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company
