MAJ. STOKEY IN CHARGE OF RIVER AT LOUISVILLE

Maj. William P. Stokey, of Cincinnati, will succeed Maj. George R. Spalding as chief engineer in the Louisville district, to have charge of all the Government construction work on the Louisville and Portland Canal and the building of locks, dams and bridges on the several rivers embraced in the district, it was learned here yesterday.

Maj. Stokes has had much experience in this kind of work, having been in charge of the Second Cincinnati Engineering District.  He will arrive here to-day to assume charge.  Maj. Spalding, who has been assigned to Fort Meyer, Va., to assist in the instruction of recruits at the citizens’ training camp, will leave Louisville to-night, he said.

MAJ. STOKEY IN CHARGE OF CINCINNATI DIVISION

Maj. William P. Stokey, successor to Maj. George R. Spalding, as head of the Louisville United States Engineer’s Office, will have charge of both the Louisville office and the Second Cincinnati Division office, it is said.  Maj. Stokey has been located at Cincinnati, and his Louisville assignment may prove only temporary.

The new local chief engineer was in Louisville for a brief time Friday afternoon, but returned to Cincinnati, leaving James F. Nutty, Jr., chief clerk, in charge here temporarily.  Maj. Spalding left for Fort Myer, Va., his new post, Friday night.  He declared it was his expectation to be in France fighting within a few months.

1.
I chose to include both the Friday item and the Sunday item because they contain slightly different information.

​2.
Maj. Spalding, who has been assigned to Fort Meyer, Va., to assist in the instruction of recruits at the citizens’ training camp, will leave Louisville to-night, he said.
Should be Fort Myer, not Fort Meyer.  The spelling error is corrected in the second item.

​3.
Maj. William P. Stokey, successor to Maj. George R. Spalding, as head of the Louisville United States Engineer’s Office, will have charge of both the Louisville office and the Second Cincinnati Division office, it is said.  Maj. Stokey has been located at Cincinnati, and his Louisville assignment may prove only temporary.
So, contrary to initial indications, this nifty job upgrade for Will, to become the head of the Louisville office, is in fact a piling on of more work for him on top of his already existing job, and he may end up right back where he started, as head of the Second Cincinnati office.
