About this book
James W. Phillips Letter Book, 1904-1913
Author: Philadelphia Water Department Historical Collection
Year: 1904
James Walter Phillips (1860-1938) was an engineer who worked more than 40 years for the Department of Public Works, Bureau of Surveys, in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He untimately rose to head the Grade Crossing Removal Division, in charge of removing dangerous street-level railroad crossings, a separation which was usually acomplished by building bridges over the streets to carry the trains. These letters include some of his reports on grade crossings and bridge inspections, as well as personal correspondence regarding coal deliveries, his son's school, family property in New Hanpshire, and even a tentative search for a new job. This letter book has slight water damage, making some of the pages unreadable. Unused pages were not scanned.
