The general organization of the staff is shown by the two diagrams,
Figs. 20 and 21. Fig. 20 shows the organization previous to the holing
through of the tunnels, during which time a separate office was
maintained at the western end for the use of the men stationed there;
Fig. 21 shows the organization during the latter part of the time, after
the tunnels were holed through. The Assistant Engineer in charge of the
construction was J. R. Taft, Assoc. M. Am. Soc. C. E.; the Chief
Inspector, J. S. Frazer, Jun. Am. Soc. C. E., had charge of about 75% of
the work of the lining of the tunnels. The alignment has been from the
beginning under the charge of R. L. Reynolds, Assistant Engineer.
