Mr. Joseph Tracy, State Engineer, and two members of his staff- Francis Mayo, engineer, and Robert Porter, attorney, were guests of the Committee, Mr. Tracy and his staff representatives presented an analysis of the five problems assigned to the Committee from the viewpoint of his office. In the discussion that followed, the ramifications of each question were thoroughly explored by both the Committee and its guests. On Mr. Porter's recommendation it was concluded that no new legislation covering the matter was either necessary or desirable at this time. What seems more desirable is to provide a staff adequate to administer and enforce the provisions of the present statutes.
