of Augusta. chief of the subsection that has
been at work in this State. 1t takes seven to
ten years to 90 over State, and the cost is
about SO a square mile. The work here has
been carried on in York and Cumberland coun-
ties. this section of Maine having been taken
first i'll order to cover the whole area as the
work was carried northward. Mr.. Gannett
says that the maps of Maine are very imper-
feet. and that the state is greatly in need of
thorough renovation of her map system. but
the work as proposed by the survey is one of
great magnitude. II will probably occupy the
greater part of a dozen years, and cost $500
