1 9 2 0 –1929 The History of A C E C response to a rapid rise in automobile traffic, AICE supported the federal government’s allocation of the then-princely sum of $633 million in 1920 “for the improvement and extension of the national highway system.” AICE offered advice on how highways should be designed to accommodate “vehicles plus horse traffic”—and forecast that trucks would never play a major part in the transportation system because they would be uneconomical for distances exceeding 30 to 40 miles! Among the 111 AICE members in 1921 were 30 railroad engineers and one “illumination engineer.” Still based in New York, AICE sought to form organizations of consulting engineers in other cities. Groups already operating independently included the New York Association of Consulting Engineers, the Chicago Association of Consulting Engineers, the Institute of Consulting Engineers of St. Louis and the Consulting Engineering Society of the Pacific Coast. The Institute flexed its muscle by urging the appointment of an engineer to the Interstate Commerce Commission. It lobbied for the establishment of a single federal public works agency, and supported legislation to increase the consultant’s per diem from federal agencies to $50. It also endorsed arbitration as a means of avoiding litigation and successfully opposed a bill that would have permitted the Bureau of Public Roads to use Bureau engineers as consultants on foreign projects in competition with private engineers. In the rapid economic expansion prior to the 1929 stock market crash, AICE members, along with consulting engineers throughout the nation, were involved in major engineering achievements, including Cleveland Hopkins Airport (1925), New York’s Holland Tunnel (1927) and Washington State’s Cascade Tunnel (1928)—at 7.8 miles, still the longest railroad tunnel in the United States. In Early 20th-century tools of the trade for consulting engineers included non-digital surveying instruments, slide rules and adding machines. (Photo courtesy of T. Baker Smith) The Jones Island Wastewater Treatment Plant in Milwaukee opened in 1925. At the time, it was the nation’s largest facility using natural microorganisms to clean wastewater.
