BIOGRAPHICAL SURVEY.
Next Work Will Probably Be Done in
Moosehead Region.

The Maine Board of Typographical Sur
vey, composed of Prof. Leslie A. Lee of
Brunswick, Hon. William Engel of Ban
gor, and c. S. Hitchborn of Augusta held
a meeting in Bangor, Thursday, when
they informally discussed the plans for
the seasons work. 1t is probable that
this summer, and for several years to
come, 1t will be done in the region about
by the State and federal boards which
cooperate in the work, that it would be
more advantageous here than in any 9TH
er section of the State at present
The Maine Board of Typographical Sur
vey was appointed in accordance with
the federal law and works in conjunction
with the United States Typographical
Survey, the national government paying
half of the expenses. This law was pass
ed but a short time ago and any state
may take advantage of it's provisions.
The work here in Maine has proved Of
great value to water power owners ana
to the public generally in the past and It
is fully expected that it's usefulness and
value will increase with each succeeding
year. Last season practically all of the
work in Maine was done in Old Town,
Greenbush and Alton.
Under ordinary circumstances the work
this summer would have been taken up
where it was left off last autumn. 1t Is
felt, however, both by the State and ma
tional authorities. that it would be mucn
more profitable to shift the scene of oper-
atoms to the country around MooSehead
lake. Moosehead is the source of the
Kennebec river and many of the best
water powers of which Maine boasts have
their origin in it's waters. The country
about there is extremely wild and the
engineering parties will experience more
or less difficulty during the next few
months, as their labor will be done in the
midst of a trackless wilderness.
Nothing definite was settled at the
meeting Thursday, and confirmation of
the plans formulated there must be re-
ceived from Washington before anything
can be done. This confirmation is eX
pected in about two weeks. 1t will be i'm
possible to commence active operations
until the frost has completely left the
ground
