Henry Cutting

Henry 'H.C' Cutting was a California entrepreneur, engineer, school official and amateur economist. Initially attaining a mining degree in Nevada and serving several years as superintendent of the state's schools, he moved in 1903 to San Francisco, where he launched a mining company. In 1904, Cutting developed the inner harbor of Richmond, California, into a major commercial venture. He was able to secure federal appropriations for the harbor in 1914. Cutting spent his last decades focused on questions of monetary economics. He advocated various reforms, including the end of the gold standard and regulation of financial institutions. His 1921 book, ''The Strangle-Hold'' received wide attention and the author Upton Sinclair referred to it as "the best book extant for an understanding of our banking system". Cutting ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination to represent Alameda county in Congress in 1922. Cutting Boulevard is a major thoroughfare in Richmond named after him.
==Life==
Henry Cutting was born in Iowa on April 3, 1870, to George and Jean Cutting.〔''San Francisco: Its Builders Past and Present'', vol. 1, the S.J. Clarke Publishing Company, 1913, Chicago〕 He graduated from Nevada University in 1894, as a member of its first graduating class.〔"Cutting for Congress", ''Oakland Tribune'', August 25, 1922〕 He was elected state superintendent of schools of Nevada in 1894. In 1903, Cutting moved to San Francisco, where he organized the San Francisco and Tenepah Mining Exchange. Upon his first visit to Richmond, then a small town in the east bay, he fixed upon the potential of its harbor, which he believed could "make a big city".〔"Mining Engineer's Dream Comes True After Years of Enthusiastic Work", ''San Francisco Call'', November 23, 1912〕 In 1904, he founded the Port Richmond Canal and Land Company, of which he was the president for several decades, for the purpose of developing the harbor. This company played an important role in the Richmond economy, up to that point dominated by Standard Oil. Cutting won federal appropriations for it in 1914. By 1922 he was living in Oakland and launched an unsuccessful bid for the Republican nomination for congress in that district.〔"Cutting for Congress", ''Oakland Tribune'', August 25, 1922〕
Cutting favored unification of all the cities on the San Francisco Bay, under the name San Francisco, and publicly advocated this goal.〔"Meeting of Citizens of Stege, Rust and Pullman Decides for Annexation", ''San Francisco Call'', Vol. 110, No. 68, August 7, 1911〕
