One of the biggest undertakings of the recent war, a building construction program of a magnitude and scope probably without parallel in the world's history, was the construction of the great army supply bases in this country. The largest of these plants was that at Brooklyn, calling for great waterfront properties capable of storing 700,000 tons of supplies and covering 4,685,000 square feet of storage space, the cost mounting up into the tens of millions of dollars. It is a source of gratification to the class of 1902 that this plant was erected under the direct supervision of Arthur C. Tozzer, who was executive manager in charge of the construction work, which was done by the Turner Construction Company. The plant is now substantially complete, and unstinted praise is being given Manager Tozzer for his able and efficient service to the government and for the early completion of the work, which has been found completely up to the high standards demanded.
