Personnel 



The Steering Committee appointed by the Association in pursu- 

 ance of the motion passed on the floor of the last Annual Meeting, "to 

 study the matter for a short time and perhaps plan what should be 

 undertaken for the year, and make recommendations to the Executive 

 Committee as to the nature, size and personnel of the larger Committee 

 which it might be desirable to appoint later", reported to the Execu- 

 tive Committee of the Association on March 10, 1921. The San Fran- 

 cisco Bay Marine Piling Committee for the present year was appointed, 

 upon its nomination, by the Executive Committee on March 15. Th< 

 large size of the Committee membership was designed to give repre- 

 sentation to all the contributors to and cooperators in the work of the 

 year. The sub-committee organization, which has been noted, has kepi 

 it from becoming unwieldy and has utilized its ability to the best effect. 

 The Committee as appointed has suffered some changes by removal 

 and, in one case, by death. These are indicated in the following list:
