  • History of the U.S. Attorneys
    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district. INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that.

GOSSON, In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. >§®=" The newspaper press are welcome to use such parts of the work as they may desire, on giving credit therefor to the Manual. INTRODUCTORY THE INIanual of the One Hundred and Eighth Session of the Legislature of New Jersey is, we trust, an improvement on preceding volumes. We have honestly striven every year to make each succeeding book suj^e- rior to all others, and hope, ere long, to present a work which will take rank with the best of its kind published in the United States. To do this we need a continuance of the support heretofore given us, and the official assist- ance of the Legislature. We are confident that this little hand-book, furnished at the small cost of one dollar a volume, is indispensable to every legislator, State official and others, who can, at a moment's notice, refer to it for information of any sort connected with the politics and affairs of State. The vast amount of data, compiled in such a remarkably concise manner, is the result of care- ful research of official documents; and the sketches of the Governor, members of the Judiciary, Congressmen, members of the Legislature, and State officers, are authentic.

  • F. Scott Fitzgerald's Ledger, 1919–1938
    F. SCOTT FITZGERALD’S LEDGER TRANSCRIPTION PAGE 1 F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Ledger, 1919–1938 F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Ledger is one of the richest primary source documents in existence for any literary author. Fitzgerald began recording information in this business ledger sometime in 1919 or 1920 after leaving the Army and moving to New York to begin his professional life as a writer. Fitzgerald divided the Ledger into five sections: “Record of Published Fiction,” “Money Earned by Writing since Leaving Army,” “Published Miscelani (including movies) for which I was Paid,” “Zelda’s Earnings,” and “Outline Chart of my Life”. The “Record of Published Fiction” and “Published Miscelani” are spreadsheets listing everything he wrote and its publication history up to the time of its final disposition. He meticulously tracked his earnings from 1919 through 1937 in the section titled “Money Earned by Writing since Leaving Army.” In addition, he recorded Zelda’s earnings from her writing. In the autobiographical section, “Outline Chart of my Life,” he provided background about his early years but later included monthly entries for each year. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Ledger is part of the Matthew J. and Arlyn Bruccoli Collection of F. Scott Fitzgerald held by the Irvin Department of Rare Books and Special Collections, located in the Ernest F. Hollings Special Collections Library at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, S.C. The digital version of the Ledger, which includes access to the full text and is keyword-searchable, was produced by the staff of the Digital Collections Department of the University of South Carolina.

  • A History White Lake Post 3256 and Auxiliary
    A History White Lake Post 3256 And Auxiliary By Bethel Eddy The Beginning… The White lake Veterans of Foreign Wars Post was instituted in April 1935 through the efforts of William Wentworth, Marcus Dahl, and Wilfred Thoma who was a member of the William Beal VFW Post 446 of Muskegon. He later transferred here and was active for many years. These three men gave many hours to this project. Each World War I man approached had to be convinced that a post was needed in this area. With perseverance and determination twenty-five men had signed the membership cards. The meeting was held in the Odd Fellows Hall in Montague. The Department of Michigan VFW Chief of Staff, Mr. Anton Koblbeck of Muskegon was the installing and instating officer with the aid of the degree team of Post 446 and several guests from that post, as well as from Whitehall, Montague, Hard, Kalamazoo and Ludington. After the instituting ceremonies were held and the new officers elected, they were installed into office. The first officers were: Commander William Wentworth, Senior Vice Commander Raymond Mac Rae, Junior Vice Commander Francis Mason, Quartermaster Marcus Dahl, Adjutant Carroll Noble, and Chaplain Louis Eilers. The National VFW Commander in Chief gave then the name and number of White Lake Post 3256 Montague, Michigan, 7 th District, Department of Michigan. In 1950 the State Department remapped all of the state and the district was changed to the 12 th District. This was due to the membership growth. In a few short weeks the Post decided there was a need for an Auxiliary and by the vote of the members they asked the Department of Michigan, Ladies Auxiliary President Mrs.

  • Dictionary of Building and Civil Engineering Dictionnaire Du Bâtiment Et Du Génie Civil About the Author
    DICTIONARY OF BUILDING AND CIVIL ENGINEERING DICTIONNAIRE DU BÂTIMENT ET DU GÉNIE CIVIL ABOUT THE AUTHOR Don Montague is a Chartered Engineer (MICE, MIMechE) with experience in many fields of engineering, building and construction. He read Engineering Science at Oxford (MA) and then did pioneering work on machine design using the early DEUCE digital computer in the 1960s. Subsequently he worked in the public service in timber research (AJWSc), became deeply involved in environmental conservation and began a love affair with the practice of building. In 1971 he joined Ove Arup & Partners and spent his first five years with them co-ordinating multi- disciplinary building design teams. After a period running his own structural component firm he rejoined Arups and became responsible for their engineering specifications, design guides and feedback notes. He has published articles on a wide range of topics, from environmental conservation to structural components, and integrated design to maintenance of building services. He retired as Technical Director of Arups in 1991. A life-long interest in the French language and life led him and his wife to move to France, where he is now as busy as ever working for himself with local French building professionals. L’AUTEUR Don Montague est un ingénieur (MICE, MIMechE) dont l’expérience couvre de nombreux domaines du génie, du bâtiment et de la construction.
