William Raymond "Ray" Metz, Beverly Hills City Engineer
My name is Paul Dulaney. This is an excerpt from a letter from my uncle (Henry Dulaney) to my brother (Mark Dulaney). Also mentioned is my father (and Henry's brother), Nathaniel Dulaney, who was a civil engineer for the County of Los Angeles.

May 3, 2004

Nat always admired Ray Metz, the Civil Engineer of Beverly Hills, whom we both knew. Ray read his way through correspondence school to become a civil engineer. Your Dad said, "You've got to want something pretty bad to go that route." (And be pretty bright to pick it all up just by reading it.) By the way, the water fountain at the corner of Wilshire Blvd. and Santa Monica Blvd. was designed by Ray. Ray said he tried over 50 pumps before he found the right pump for that fountain. He must have found the best of the bunch -- it's still working 50 years later! 2603:8000:FC03:140C:A0B7:CF5A:2D57:358D (talk) 18:28, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
