Stevens Named New York Public Works Chief A Washington Financier
Albany January 1907 Governor Hughes of New York appointed Senator Stevens as superintendent of public works, a move that astonished party leaders who saw it as an outsider’s ascent. Stevens, a prominent banker and financier in Washington, serves as president of the Commercial National Bank and previously led the West End and Citizens national banks. He is praised for banking reforms and the consolidation of street railways into the Washington Railway and Electric Company. The appointment is described as personal, not political, with Stevens set to assume duties in Albany after today.
