Abstract :
Developing participation by engineers in public affairs was strongly evident at the last meeting, held in St. Paul, June 8–9, of the Executive Board of the American Engineering Council of the Federated American Engineering Societies. General round table discussion revealed that local groups in many sections of the country are taking a constructive part in solving community problems. This local effort embraces traffic, smoke abatement, water supply, city planning, state and municipal legislation relating to engineering matters and related subjects.
