      Edward F. Murphy Stricken In Home - Held Many Offices in Public Works Service - Served as Consulting Engineer on Cuban Sewer Project - Edward F. Murphy, Commissioner of Public Works for the city of Boston in the first Curley administration at City Hall, died suddenly yesterday afternoon at his home, 898 Adams st, Dorchester Lower Mills. He had been ill five days, but felt better yesterday afternoon. Returning from the Frank B. Thompson school, where she is a teacher, his daughter, Miss Mary Murphy, found him dressed and sitting in a chair. While she was bringing him a plate of ice cream, he fell dead. Miss Murphy is his sole survivor. Mr. Murphy was born in Scituate, Nov. 14, 1870, and received his education in the public schools of that town, and graduated from the High School in 1887. A week later, he entered the employ of the city of Boston as a rodman in the Surveying Department. After four years he was transferred to the Sewer Department, where he received many promotions. After passing the Civil Service examination October of 1927, he was appointed district engineer, in charge of the design and construction of sewers in South Boston, Dorchester and Roxbury. Two years later he resigned to accept a position with the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company, to take charge of the underground conduits throughout the State. He returned to the city's employ in 1901 as a district engineer. In 1907 he went to Cuba on a leave of absence in the employ of the Hugh J. Riley Construction Company as a consulting engineer on a $3,000,000 contract for a sewer and water system. After completion of this work he returned to his position here. The same year he successfully competed in an examination held by the United States Government for the engineer in the reclamation and irrigation service, and received a rating of civil engineer. In 1909 the Massachusetts Civil Service Commissioner established a ruling that the head of the Sewer Department should be obligated to pass a competitive examination for the position of deputy superintendent. Mr. Murphy took the examination, standing second on the list. In March, 1914, he was engineer in charge of the sewer service. The next year Mayor Curley appointed him Commissioner of Public Works. In succeeding administrations he held the post of division engineer. Mr. Murphy was a member of the Boston Society of Civil Engineers, the Boston Lodge of Elks and the James E. Hayes Council, Knights of Columbus. The funeral will be Thursday morning from his home, with a solemn high mass of requiem at St. Gregory's Church.
