Document appointing John Flint Kidder as debris commissioner on December 5, 1898, by California Governor James Budd. It measures 11"x 17".
Kidder, who lived in Grass Valley, was once a surveyor for the Territory of Nevada and surveyed the border from Lake Bigler (Lake Tahoe) to Honey Lake.
Kidder took over as building engineer of the Oregon and California Railroad, completing it on Christmas Eve, 1869. He also supervised the building of a portion of the Central Pacific Railway, and served as the Central Pacific's location engineer. In 1874, he was the building engineer on the Monterey and Salinas Valley Rail Road, the first narrow gauge railway in California. Later in the same year, he became chief engineer to construct the NCNGRR from Nevada City, California, through Grass Valley, to Colfax, California where it connected with the Central Pacific Railway.
