Biographical History
Although the Department of Public Works was created in 1923, the office of Deputy Superintendent did not exist until the appointment of Bertram D. Tollamy on January 16, 1945. The Deputy Superintendent was the head of the Department's executive staff as well its second ranking administrative official. As such these files reflect the departments responsibilities to plan, design, construct and maintain highways, bridges and grade separation structures, canals and waterways, and State owned buildings. The bulk of the subject files were created during E. Burton Hughes' tenure as Deputy Superintendent. Hughes was appointed in 1952 and stayed in this capacity for over ten years. There is a small amount of records dating from 1951 when Fred W. Fish second as Deputy Superintendent.
Chapter 147 (Section 4) of the Laws of 1903 empowered the State Engineer and Surveyor to appropriate any lands, structures, or waters deemed necessary for canal use. In so doing, the State Engineer and Surveyor was required to execute an accurate survey and map, to which a certificate was affixed stating that the lands therein described had been appropriated by the state for canal use.
Duplicate copies of maps were filed at the office of the Superintendent of Public Works, which was responsible for serving the notices of appropriation as well as filing at the county clerk's office duplicate copies of the notices of appropriation, maps, certificates of service, and descriptions.
