A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
It is an attractive feature of the engineer's vocation that each engagement presents for solution new and often interesting problems which tax both skill and ingenuity, and it is seldom that the results, when carefully observed and properly recorded, are not of both interest and profit to others in the profession. The author proposes to make brief mention of the old water-works of Astoria, Ore., and to present a description of the works just completed, and to accompany it with such notes and observations incident to construction, cost and final determination of results as many engineers in charge of work record in their private note-books, but, at the expense of the profession at large, often fail to make a matter of public recital. In the amount of expenditure involved these works are in no way exceptional, but in variety of work and consequent interest, it is believed that they have not been often exceeded, even by works of considerably greater magnitude.
