/ TOM VEATCH \
/ The Man of the Month
by DON DAVIS
FLICK a light switch. Turn up the gas. Open a water tap. Drain your bath tub.
Chances are, Tom Veatch had something to do with making it work.
In Albuquerque, Akron, Abilene — or Anchorage, Alaska. In Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. In Dallas, Denver, the District of Columbia or Dubuque. In Los Alamos; or Fairbanks, Alaska; or in Wahiawa, Hawaii.
And in some 773 other cities, all over America!
You think K.yXro-j got around? Tom Veatch was there, too!
If your electric lights glow brightly and steadily ... if your gas flames briskly and evenly, in assured supply ... if you've plenty of water, soft, mineral-free and in constant pressure . . . and if your sewage is recovered by your community government and sold on a cash market as grease, or as sludge digester gas, or as air-dried sludge for fertilizer ingredient, or for irrigation water . . . Veatch and his
associates could be the men responsible.
As a professional housekeeper for industry, government, cities, towns and hamlets, Tom Veatch 's work as an engineer encompasses the development, purification, transmission and distribution of water supplies; together with the correlated function of sewerage, sewage and waste treatment. His firm engineers the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. They create gas distribution systems for both natural and artificial gas. And the ever-necessary systems for the collection and disposal of garbage and industrial waste.
His firm makes financial studies and reports, appraisals and valuations — for private and public organizations on all sorts of properties.
And it conducts rate investigations for utility service, to indicate the fair return on capital invested in utilities properties . . . and to assure consumers of equitable rates for their water, their gas, their electric light and power.
