The coveted award went to John W, Snell, an engineering technician in the Division of Highways district headquarters at Marysville. He won it for his volunteer role in getting the State's restoration of historic Fort Humboldt, overlooking Eureka, back on the road following a frustrating two-year delay, and for saying the State several thousand dollars in the process, State Parks and Recreation Director Fred L, Jones, who had recommended the award, presented it to Snell in a brief ceremony in the Resources Building in Sacramento, It all began when Snell overheard that Fort Humboldt's reconstruction as a state historical monument was stalled because nothing remained on the grounds that could be used as a fixed reference point for determining the exact locations of the longvanished fort buildings, To break this stalemate the Division of Beaches and Parks had planned this summer to conduct an extensive archaeological dig of the area at an estimated cost of $5,000, h IUMP FOR OR AND yd rN )) On his own time and initiative, by researching old documents and maps in libraries, Snell found that the fort's original flagpole had been used as the anchor point of most early day surveys of the Humboldt County coast. If the exact site of the flagpole could be determined the fort buildings could be positioned, but its location hadn't been known for decades. Snell reasoned that by using existing reference points outside the fort area, a backward survey could pinpoint the flagpole site, Using Snell's information, park engineers ran the reversed survey and drove a stake at the terminal point.
