COAST SURVEYS IN s. E. ALASKA
 SHOW PROGRESS
Jones Details Alaska Work as Outstanding Ac-
 complishment

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Nov. 25 --One of the outstanding ac- complishments Of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey during the past year was the hy- drographic work done in South eastern Alaska, according to the annual report of Colonel E. Lester Jones, Director. which was issued today. The report covers the fis- cal year ending June 30th, 1927.
 Another outstanding aeeomp- lishment, the report states, was the survey work done along the Oregon and Washington coasts.
 Colonel Jones. in his report says
 "In Southeastern Alaska. the survey ship Surveyor obtained over 10000 soundings and fully surveyed an area of 1,255 square miles along the outside coast. ex- tending as far north as Lituya Bay. This was an original sur. vey of the area involving tri-an- gulation control, topography, and inshore hydrography along the shore, as well as offshore hydrog- raphy. The party on the Survey or completed survey of the coast of Southeastern Alaska from the international boundary at Dix on Entrance to Liiuya Bay,
 Modern Survey Ships
 This Illustrates what can be done by modern survey ships and by the new methods which have been adopted in recent years. Not only is the work being done moro economically than ever before, but the government is giving to all the maritime interests much. needed charts and other nautical data that are alone responsible for the reduction in loss of life and property at sea"
 The report states that 1t Is planned to complete the compila- tion of seven new charts of Alas kan waters during the present year. and to reconstruct two other Alaska charts, in conformity with the latest survey data.
 Detailing the activities of the Survey in Alaska during the fis- cal year, Colonel Jones says:
 Surveys begun during the pre- vious year in Southeastern Alaska were completed in the following localities: Port Alexander. Pybus Bay. kaigani Strait and Port Re- fugio. In various sections of the main ship channels supplemental examinations were fin ished. Additional surveys were completed in Red Bluff Bay, Warm Spring Bay. Tebinkof Bay, Gedney Harbor. Port Lucy. Port Herbert, Deep Cove. Patterson Bay. in Chatham Strait off Cape Ommaney. along Baranof Island from Point Herbert to Point Pat terson. and along Kuiu Island from Point Harris to Point Ellis. A base line of second-order ac- curacy was measured near Killis- moo.
 The survey previously inaug- urated on the outer coast was ex- tended from Cross Sound 10 Litu- va Ray and offshore for fifty miles to depths of 1000 fathoms.
