and without his volition He has represented the District lh conferences with railway engineers and other officials and always held his own and the Commissioners have never regretted any of his decisions Capt Morrows experience as Assistant Engineer Commissioner has given him a thorough grasp of matters pertaining to the District government He has shown wisdom courage and a deep interest In the affairs of the engineer department and there is little doubt that he will be a valuable man at the heal of the department Colleagues Express Regret Commissioner West said While it was to be expected that Col Biddle would be transferred owing to the fact that he has served in his present position for a longer period than any of his predecessors it is true that the District suffers a severe loss by his departure During my association with him I have learned to regard his technical ability In the highest degree and espe cially 1 have been impressed with his in tense interest In his
