HALEY--------Assistant to Chief of Division of Engineering and Irrigation < 2. 118 1421/22 -1926/28 MAIN MEMORIAM PAUL MANINGHAM NORBOE Died November 15, 1921 The death of Major Norboe on November 15, 1921, marked the close of a long and honorable career in the Department of Engineering and in the Department of Public Works. Coming to the Department of Engineering early in 1907 as Assistant State Engineer, Major Norboe was, at the time of his death, the oldest employee in length of service in the department. From his wide experience as a practicing engineer in various parts of the state, he brought to the department a fund of knowledge only to be acquired by long years of work and study. To his interest as a searcher for truth in his chosen profession, he had, in addition, a keen interest in humanity and in the problems of California. Born a Californian, he was ever an enthusiastic collector of bits of local history, and it was his favorite diversion to follow in the footsteps of the pioneers. His loss to California and the Department of Public Works is a great one. To his many friends he will always be remembered for his kindly interest, his ready wit and his loyal and steadfast service. 2-22282 LAKE HODGES DAM-MULTIPLE ARCH TYPE The design of dams aggregating a total structural cost of $7,652,000 were checked and their erection authorized by the Division of Engineering and Irrigation during the past biennium and their construction is under the supervision of the Division. |
