The United States Geological Survey
has raised the price of its topogra phic
maps. The quadrangle sheets, which
| heretofore have been sold at cents
retail and 3 cents wholesale. will be
advanced on January l to 10 cents a
copy, or cents apiece where the order
amounts to So or more.
The reasons assigned for the advance
are "the constantly increasing refine.
ment in the field work of the topogra
phic surveys, the immense amount Of
| information which is put upon the
maps, requiring the most expert anC
tedious drafting and copper plate en-
craving, the grea: care necessary in
securing the exact register for the
three or four-color photographic print.
ings and the largely increased cost Of
labor and paper"
The cost of the maps, of course, is
intended to be merely nominal. Each
quadrangle sheet represents about 23(
square miles of territory. The field
surveying of such an area costs any
where from $1,000 to $1,000 and some
times, in exceptionally difficult coun
try, as much as $1,000. The Govern
ment maps are made in great detail
and the director of the Geological Sur
vey says that mo comparable maps are
issued by any private map printing
| house, but if there were they would be
sold at 81 to So apiece" All things
considered the public seems to have
no just reason for any complaints as tc
the advance in price of these publica
lions.
