That the geologist and his associates

examining our water-powers, our drinking
water supplies our mineral and timber
resources, our road materials and rodd
building in many counties, no one can
donbt for a moment who will look into
tine matter This important work Is
now wen under way, and in few years
more may be completed, To stop or CUR
tail il now in its unfinished condition
would be to throw away the larger part
of what has been expended and accom-
plshed,
When the State work was organized
an arrangement was perfected by
which the United States Geologi-
cal Survey agreed to cooperate
With the State Survey and expend ds
much on this work in North Carolina as
the State expends, butit was the under
standing at the time. and Enlargement
is stilt in force, that II the State either
abolishes or reduces its appropriation
