Lawrence (Mass.). Engineering Dept.
Biographical notes:
Lawrence, Mass., Engineering Dept., was originally designated as the Commissioner of Streets. The Commissioner of Streets was responsible for streets, sewerage, and sidewalks; the department was reorganized as the Engineering Dept. in 1912 and became the responsibility of the Dept. of Public Works. Arthur D. Marble became the first city engineer in 1879. He was subservient to the Commissioner of Streets. In 1912 when the city charter changed so too did the hierarchy. Paul Hannigan became director of engineering with these departments under his supervision: streets, sewers, sidewalks, paving, street watering, water works, bridges, and the city engineer.
