SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 206
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize the Texas Section of the American Society of Civil |
|
Engineers on the grand occasion of its centennial year; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Texas Section owes its beginnings to a group |
|
of seven engineers who discussed the idea of a statewide |
|
organization after a Texas Good Roads meeting in Corpus Christi |
|
in July of 1913; the organization was formally established at a |
|
meeting in Dallas three months later on October 31; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the last 100 years, the Texas Section has |
|
provided a forum for Texas civil engineers to discuss technical |
|
issues, address major technological challenges, and promote high |
|
professional standards; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, More than 10,000 civil engineers play a major role |
|
in providing Texans with roads and bridges, safe drinking water, |
|
stable structures, and storm and waste water systems; the civil |
|
engineers of Texas rebuild towns struck by disaster and design |
|
and maintain the infrastructure that keeps our citizens safe and |
|
our state moving forward; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
83rd Legislature, hereby commend the civil engineers of Texas |
|
for their invaluable work on behalf of our state and its citizens |
|
and extend congratulations to them on the 100th anniversary of |
|
the Texas Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers; |
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in |
|
honor of this centennial year and as an expression of esteem from |
|
the Texas Senate. |
