PETERSBURG, VA. March 1.-THE
city of Petersburg, So far as can be as
certained, is the only municipal corpora
ton in America that ever bore alone
the expenses incurred in making a chart
Of the city, its harbor and river. In the
year 1850. at the request of Commander
Hall, of the United States Navy, General
Bache Chief of Engineers, sent a party
from the United States Coast Survey
office, who went into camp just north OF
Petersburg, and prepared to make COM
plete trianSulation and typographical
survey Of this section of the country, to-
gether with d chart OF AppomattoX
River. When the work was completed,
the engineer corps made a copy oG their
large map, about five feet wide by twelve
feet long, and i'll appreciation of the ef-
forts OF the city Of Petersburg, and as q
mark of courtesy with which they had
been treated while there. presented it to
the City Hall. All the work on this large
map, including a handsome drawing of
the city, as seen from Fleets Hill, was
done by hand in the most ARTISTIC man
ner.
LOST AN DFOUND.
After the war the map was not to be
found among the records in the office OF
the city officials and for a long while its
whereabouts was not known. About
twelve years ago more rigid inquiry was
instituted to recover the map. 1t was
found in Richmond among some rubbish
in an old office that had been occupied
by officers of the United States Army
during the Civil war
Through the efforts Of Captain Garter
r. Bishop the map was recovered and
brought back to this city, where 1t IS
now kept with Jealous care.
a..
and Geodetic Survey, who wss in Pet
ersburg in 1898 to make d second chart
of the Appomattox River. said the map
was too valuable TO suffer destruction
and should be sent 10 the engineers
Office in Washington iii order that a full
size Photographic copy of it could be
made. as the information therein con-
tanned is too valuable TO trust to SO per
ishablc a form. Opinions given cut by
all the engineers who have seen it say it
cost at least $4,000 to make the map
DISTINGUISHED SURVEYORS.
The topography was done by l.. D.
Williams and e. Hcrsesheimer; hydro
sraphy by J. r. Key, lettering by ].
Welch, 7lnder the supervision OF Captain
a. A. Gibson. United States Army As
sistant, United States Coast Survey; tri-
ansulation by W. p. Trowbridge, Chief
of Engineers, Corps of Engineers, United
States Coast Survey; topography by john
Seib; photography by the party under
command of Lieutenant r. TroWbridge.
United States Navy, Assistant United
States Coast Survey.
The chart was compiled from the ar
chiycs of the coast survey for the city OF
Petersburg, Va, and is a map Of Peters
burg and the Apponattox River from
this city to City Point. 1t is in the care
OF Captain Bishop and is carefully pre-

who take this view of the situation say
that at a recent meeting, when some
speaker was denouncing the haole.
Prince Cupid jumped to his feet and In
sisted that there was no time for such
a demonstration, as the condition of af-
fairs here was such that every one must
pull together. II there is expected to be
any advancement for the Territory.
The young men who have come TO the
front IN party matters recently, are
planning for a complete reorganization
of the methods of keeping in touch with
the voters. The method suggested will
be to take into the executive committee
representatives of all the local societies,
whether labor unions or not. and give
the delegates a seat. This Is to be
pushed further, owing to the fact that
local clubs in the precincts are being
talked of, and one member OF the CEN
trail committee viii be assigned to each
district. 10 have supervision of the
clubs, and report upon the methods
which are to be employed.
The next meeting OF the committee
will be an important one. as there will
