nebunk River and the little town Of East
port, already surveyed With equal exact
ness by students and instructors or the
Massachusetts Institute OF Technology.
During some three weeks OF the present
summer the town of East Mnch|as has
been added to the various other sections
thus surveyed and mapped by Students,
the results of whose summer labors are
afterwards turned over to the United

pending the final government surveys
