Administrative History
Chapter 317 of the Laws of 1917 created the board, which consisted of the State Engineer and Surveyor, the Superintendent of Public Works, and one other member appointed by the governor. The board, of which the State Engineer and Surveyor was the chairman, was mandated to investigate and determine the costs for the necessary bridges and rights of way for a proposed canal that was to be constructed by the federal government on the South Side of Long Island from Jamaica Bay to Peconic Bay.
