vanccs made by the bureau in weather
forecasting during the past year and
refers to number of plans. lie also
mentions a number of important ex-
pcriments being conducted by the local
office under Mr.. Thiessen g direction,
One Of the most important innoNa-
tions introduced by the local office, ac-
cording to Chief Moore g report, is the
measurement OF mountain snowfall IN
Utah. This has been done in no other

they have not only been the highest.
but have been continued daily. during
