RALPH L. GARLINGHOUSE, Civil Engineer. Following his graduation with a degree 
of C. E. in 1912 from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Ralph L. 
Garlinghouse, county engineer of Kauai, has been director of many large 
engineering projects, both in Hawaii and on the mainland.
  His first position was that of structural steel designer and inspector with 
the New York Central Railway in Cleveland, Ohio, from 1912 to 1915. From 1915 
to 1918 he was location engineer and resident engineer with the California 
Highway Commission, on the Yosemite Valley road, and at the intervention of 
the World war he entered the United States Naval Reserve in the transport 
service. In 1919 he was placed on the inactive list with the rank of ensign, 
and for the next two years was with the Great Western Power Co. in San 
Francisco as a structural engineer.
  Mr. Garlinghouse came to Hawaii in 1921 to take local charge of military 
road construction at Schofield Barracks under United States engineers. He was 
transferred to the rivers and harbors department of the United States 
Engineers six months later, and placed in local charge of Nawiliwili 
breakwater construction on Aug. 16, 1921, from which position he resigned in 
1924 to become county engineer of Kauai. In 1918 he was made an associate 
member of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
  Born in Leadville, Colo., July 22, 1889, Mr. Garlinghouse is the son of H. 
S. and Emma (Sherman) Garlinghouse. In 1919 he married Betty Davison and they 
have one child, Nancy Elizabeth Garlinghouse.
