The New Jersey State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors was established as an "examining board" by Governor Edward I. Edwards in 1921.

The five original Board members were:

  • Thomas J. Wasser,  State Highway Engineer, Trenton, N. J. 
  • George H. Noble,  Assistant City Engineer, Clifton, N. J. 
  • Harvey Snook,  County Engineer, Sussex County, Newton, N.J.
  • J. C. Remington,  Consulting Engineer, Haddonfleld, N. J. 
  • Hugh A. Kelly,  Engineer, Department of Parks and Public Property, Jersey City. N .J.

Articles on 2 of the above men are found on this website:


  • John C. Remington, Jr.
  • Thomas J. Wasser
