York, are engaged in an engineering,
contracting and operating business
restricted to the United States and
its dependencies, Mexico, and Central
America."
"J. G. White & Co., Ltd., of Lon
don are carrying out a variety of en
gineering and contractir g work in
parts of the world other than Can
ada, the United States and its de
pendencies, Mexico, Central Amer
ica, and Chili. The field in Chili is
covered by the Chilian Contracting
Co., of which Mr. White is presi
dent. The Waring-White Co., of
London, is responsible for the con
struction of the fine modern Ameri
ican building lines, which have pre
viously been refered to."
"In Canada, the field is covered by
Canadian-White
treal. This company is very success
fully inaugurating a general engineer
ing business in the Dominion of
Canada."
"To promote unified co-operation
among the large number of talented
engineers which make up the per
sonnel of the White companies, es
pecially when it is remembered that
these men are widely distributed, is a
matter requiring no small degree of
patience and executive ability. To
obtain the most far-reaching results
in such an organization, it is deemed
essential that each individual be
given the greatest freedom of action
comparable with centralized adminis
tration. The degree of responsibility
which the individual is allowed to
accept is limited only by the crpacity
of the individual, but, at the same
time, in all important matters deci
sions are mada, not as the reLult of
individual judgement, but after con
certed consideration by the engi
neers best qualified to treat of a given
subject."
"A great unanimity of purpoLe pre
vades the personnel of the White or
ganizations. It is apparent, even to
the casual observer. Mr. White is
the source of this cohesive power.
It resides in and emanates from him.
He is a man of kind, helpful, and re
sourceful persona:ity, of a type to be
eminently responsible for the founda
tion of organized loyalty upon which
the reputation of these companies has
been built."
"Mr. White is known to be a man
in entire sympathy with all move
ments which look to the betterment
of social conditions and the general
uplifting of men, especially those of
the younger generation. He is not a
perfunctory member of clubs and
other organizations, but takes an ac
tive interest in virtually all of those
with which his name is associated.
Among electrical engineers he is
known as a man of generous im
pulses, and, in no small measure has
lent active personal and financial
support to important engineering
movements.'
Co., of
"At the time of the visit of the
British and Continental electrical en
gineers to the - United States, two
years ago, Mr. White took an ac
tive interest in their entertainment,
and in perfecting the plans which re
sulted in the exceptional success of
the International Electrical Congress
held at St. Louis, As chairman of
the Electric Railway Test Commis
sion, which has, within the past year,
concluded a most important series of
experiments upon electric railway
equipment, Mr. White has been un
tiring in his efforts' to promote the
successful outcome of the work. The
results of the commission will soon
be published and will be a very sub
stantial contribution to electrical en
gineering literature."
"Mr. White also prepared for the
International Congress of Engineers
in 1904, a paper on "The Substitu
tion of Electricity for Steam as a
Motive Power." .This paper has been
commented upon at length on both
sides of the Atlantic and has attracted
a great deal of attention."
