G. S. Binckley, M. Am. Soc. C. E., was Chief Engineer of the Company from
February to December, 1906. The writer was Chief Engineer from May
1st, 1907, until April, 1910, and is responsible for the design and
construction of the works carried out during that period. Mr. J. D.
Schuyler advised the Company throughout all preliminary studies and
investigations, and acted as Consulting Engineer until February, 1908. The
Technical Inspector, on behalf of the Government, throughout the whole
progress of the works, has been Rudolf Meyer, M. Am. Soc. C. E., and the
writer wishes to record the valuable assistance the Company has received
from him.
In conclusion the writer may be permitted to pay a tribute to the devoted
public spirit shown by his Excellency, General Bernardo Reyes, the
Governor of the State of Nuevo Leon from 1885 to February, 1910, and who,
untiring in his devotion to the interests of the city, was primarily
responsible for the inception of the works and their successful
completion.
