engineering works Meridian marks
are established at each county seat,
which aid local and county surveyors in
determining the declination of Their COM
passes and which thus greatly facilitate
the search for old property lines.
The cost OF making these maps is
necessarily large, from $40 to SIS per
square mile according to the regularity
or roughness OF the area surveyed. Thus
the cost to the state would be from So to
81 so square mile, the general govern
ment meeting all the rem aiming expense.
About one third Of Vermont has al
ready been surveyed without cost to the
state, but at the expense of New York
and Massachusetts and the United States
Survey. New York allowed its survey to
extend its work to the east shore OF the
lake and south of Burlington, to include
the towns on the east side. The survey
under cooperation of the United S ates
Survey with that of Massachusetts in
cludes the southern border of Vermont.
Moreover the United States Survey has
mapped several areas, as that in which
the slate occurs, some OF the marble area
etc. The general government now dis
tlnctly declines to map any more OF YER
mont unless Vermont will contribute the
same proportion OF tie cost as have New
York, Massachusetts,, Connecticut, Maine
and number of other states. These
have appropriated from $1,000 to
S25 900 annually for this work OF
course in the larger states large sum is
needed for the prosecution of the survey
The work would most naturally be under
the direction OF the state geologist as the
director of the United States Geological
Survey proposes. The work need not
and indeed, cannot be all done in single
year. 1t may be begun and carried on
little by little if that plan SEEMS best
The more the annual appt opriation the
more rapidly the mapping will proceed.
AS has been shown, the United States
Survey promises to duplicate whatever
sum the state is willing to allow provided
only that Congress continues its own ap-
preparations.
/ While | fully believe that the maps in
question have all the value indicated
in what has been said, have no wish to
! urge this matter upon the people of the
state. simply place the opportunity be-
! fore them. 1t is for them to say whether
this proposal shall be accepted or reject
ed. 1t may be well to add that | am in
formed by the director of the United
States Survey that the number of states
to which this offer is made is limited as
the funds at the disposal Of the survey
allow only a limited cooperation and
that if Vermont does not care to under
take the work there are more states that
do care than can be assisted.
A bill making an appropriation for this
work will soon be introduced into the
Legislature and it is to be hoped that a
few thousand dollars will be granted
and the work started as soon as
may be. G. H. PERKINS.

A Typographical Survey.
OR OF THE CALIFORNIAN:

EDITOR OF THE CALIFORNIAN:
beg leave to direct your attention to
a letter by Prof. G. H. Perkins, published
in the Burlington Free Press OF October 0,
and entitled Shall Vermont have To-
biographical Survey" This letter con-
tains the most lucid and cogent state,
uent that have seen OF the conditions
under which such survey may be pro-
cured and of the character of its results.
Itwould doubtless be matter OF sur
prise to many people to know that |
have, and frequently use, better maps of
the bottom of Long Island Sound than |
can possibly procure of the surface of Yer.
mont. Some years ago before was a
resident of this state had occasion to
send to Washington for sections of the
typographical survey of New England,
hoping to use them in a summer Journey
through Vermont. l found that with
the exception of one or two small dis
<ricts the survey had not touched Yer
mont except upon its southern and west
ern borders and this work, as Prot. Per
kins points out, was due to the gener-
osity of Massachusetts, and New York
rather than to any action upon Yer
mont's own part.
1t is not easy to exaggerate the inter-
est and the value of the results of this
work both to the resident citizen and to
the traveller. have walked through
the New Forest in England alone under
the guidance of one of the sheets of
the English Typographical Survey on
which not merely the roads but the
principal footpaths were indicated.
This last summer with Mrs. Chap
man | had occasion to drive through
a remote part of Connecticut which
was entirely new to both of us and
found that the survey maps were so
complete and exact as practically to
Obviate all necessity Of inquiry as to our
route, although much of it was through
a wooded country and over little fire..
quented roads. The height of every hill
we passed could be determined and the
interest and convenience OF the expedi-
ton were in every way enhanced. 1t
should be added that when the survey is
once complete the sections can be pro-
cured at merely nominal price which
puts them within the reach of every one.
hope the time will soon come when the
survey will include every township in
Vermont and when every schoolboy will
be provided with the maps which picture
his own immediate locality.
therefore endorse most heartily the
letter of the state geologist and trust
that it may have wide circulation.
am, Sir, respectfully yours,
EDWARD NJ. CHAPMAN.

Bradstreet's Vermont Weekly Trade
ReDOPl.

Bradstreets Vermont Weekly Trade
Report.
Much relief is felt throughout the state
on account of the probable resumption
OF the operations in the coal mines and
in the expectation of securing supply Of
coal in the near future. Some inconven-
fence has been experienced among manu-
featuring concerns because of the coal
shortage but the difficulty has been in
anticipation rather than actual hard
ship. In some sections owners of wood
have taken advantage of the situation
and are reported to have asked stiff
prices. Manufacturing conditions are
nearly all favorable; the leading indus
tries are well employed and labor is in
good demand. Retail trade is satisfac-
tory and collections as a whole are as
usual.
Burlington reports business good in
the leading lines here; the cotton mills
are busy aud the manufacturing con-
Germs generally doing well. The whole.
sale dealers report good demand for
goods and the retail trade is stimulated
somewhat because of the approach of
cold weather. The marble industries in
Rutland and vicinity continue to be
rushed with orders and the large scale
works are very busy. The two machine
shops against which there was a strike
continue to operate their plants though
at a somewhat reduced scale. Other
lines OF business both in manufacturing
and in retail trade are doing fairly well.
St. Adams reports manufacturing bust
ness active, retail trade aud collections
fair. Weather and lack of coal are the
unfavorable features.
Poultney reports the slate business
good although some trouble is exper-
fenced in getting coal tor quarry pur-
poses. The demand for slate is unusu.
ally good. The large scale works at St.
Johnsbury are constantly increasing the
force; other concerns are doing the usual
amount of business. Retail trade and
collections generally good. Brattleboro
reports manufacturing interests well
employed, retail trade and collections
| good.
