Charles Giraud is one of the best known citizens of The Bronx because of his public spirit and activity in the promotion of general welfare, while he is prominent throughout all New York and vicinity because of his professional eminence as a licensed engineer. 

Together with his partner, James M. Welsch, president of the New York State Society of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, of which Mr. Giraud is a director, he is in the front rank of city engineers and is called on to perform much of the important construction work under way throughout the Metropolitan area today. The partners have also lent themselves vigorously to the promotion of the above mentioned society, the object of which is cooperation with the New York State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors and other engineering associations in order to enforce the license law, and to insure the public, one the one hand, of well trained engineers, and the engineers, on the other, of remuneration commensurate with the training they have acquired and the responsibilities they assume.
