EMMET C. McANELLY.

	Emmet C. McAnelly is filling the position of postmaster of Fort 
Collins, to which office he was appointed in 1914. In other connections 
as well, however, he has contributed to the upbuilding of Fort Collins, 
his name being especially associated with the development of the 
waterworks system of the town. Any plan or project for the public good 
may count upon his aid and cooperation and his views and his labors are 
at once practical and progressive.

	Mr. McAnelly comes to Colorado from the middle west, his birth 
having occurred at Bowling Green, Indiana, on the 6th of September, 
1875. He is the eldest son of Judge Jefferson McAnelly, who removed 
with his family to Loveland, Colorado, in 1881 and in 1884 established 
his home in Fort Collins, at which time Emmet C. McAnelly was a youth 
of but nine years. He therefore at once entered the public schools and 
passed through consecutive grades to his graduation from the high 
school. He later matriculated in the Colorado Agricultural College, 
from which he was graduated with high honors on the completion of an 
engineering course. He has since done important work in the line of his 
chosen profession and following his graduation has acceptably served 
for several years as city engineer of Fort Collins, while for a number 
of terms he did equally acceptable work as county engineer or surveyor 
of Larimer county. He was instrumental in laying out and building the 
new waterworks system of Fort Collins, including the nitration plant 
and the storage system, giving to the city an abundant supply of pure 
water. He is thoroughly familiar with all the scientific phases 
underlying his work and what he has undertaken has been successfully 
accomplished by reason of the practical methods he has ever pursued.

	Mr. McAnelly gives his political allegiance to the democratic 
party and his loyalty thereto, combined with his fitness for the 
position, led to his appointment to the office of postmaster of Fort 
Collins in 1914. He has since served and has made a most courteous, 
obliging and efficient officer, while in all matters of citizenship he 
stands for progress, development and improvement.
