GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF
 THIS STATE IS URGED
Maps Should Be Brought Up To Date, Government Expert
 Declares

State Capitol, Hartford, Conn. March Il tP-The need Of a geo. logical survey of Connecticut to bring up 10 date the maps of the state was urged before the legsla- tive committee on approximations yesterday by Col. Glenn s. smith Of Washington who came here especial ly 10 support the petition 10 the Connecticut Civil Engineers society for such q survey.
 The request is for s30.000 yearly for five years which would represent one-half of the needed outlay, the rest 10 be borne by the United States geological survey and the bu- reau of documents and printing,
 The survey in part would be by airp!ane. The mapping would am plify the ground work and the en- tire production would give maps of the terrain such as are not now in existence. Several state depart ments joined in the request and there were number to speak of the need of the work.
 Col smith said that fl the appro- priation was assured he would have field men at work by May ], antici- pating the state appropriation by two months and about 1000 square miles of land would be mapped be fore winter. By use Of airp!anes much detail work is accomplished which would scarcely be done on the ground except after long and tedious surveys. The triangulation has cen done by the geodetic survey and the new surveys would be based on that.

MORE ON MINERAL
(Continued From Page Six.)

(Continued From Page Six.)
 by H. Carlson and Slim" Averil. AS reported by the owners, most of
 iese claims arc on mineralized lodes that lie near the northern margin of the great intrusive mass and are probably of the same mode of origin as the lodes near Copper Mountain. The principal metals are said to be lead, silver, and copper.
 In the existing situation in regard to transportation to Copper Moun- tain and to points farther southwest along the Alaska Range only ore of very high grade can be profitably mined and shipped. On recent shipment of about 30 tons of ore from the Kantishna district to the -smelter at San Francisco transpor- tation charges alone were more than $70 a ton. This ore travelled about 20 miles by sled and the rest of the way by river boat, railroad, and steamship. Transportation to Cop per Mountain will be improved on the completion of the wagon road from the railroad at Mckinley Park station, now under construction by the Alaska Road Commission, but even with a wagon road an expen- sive haul of some 50 miles to the railroad will remain. Unless consi- derable bodies of high-grade ore are found or unless supplies of lower grade ore large enough to justify branch line of the railroad are de- veloped, the remote situation of this district will impose a severe hadni- cap upon lode mining. With the pos- sible exception of Copper Mountain, the ore reserves of which have not yet been determined, no lode depo sits of sufficient size to justify a railroad to this region have yet been found.

NEWS FROM REMINGTON ON STATES METHODS

That was q pretty piece of nows which came from Newingion rcla- tive 10 the money owing 10 the town by the state. The state owes the town $1s,Q60. being the towns portion in connection with the new road from the Berlin turnpike west through Maple Hil to Elm lfill. It has been four years since the town received any money from the state, although at the time the road was built the state was supposed 10 pay is share for maintenance. The cx- cuse given is that the state has been approprlating only small amounts for this purpose; and there being no money for the pur- pose, tho state simply fails 10 meet is obligation 10 the town
 ono naturally is forced to wonder how many other towns in the state are in the samo position as Newine- ton. Multiply the situation and we become quito enlightened as 10 q state policy which is not exactly creditabl.,

Other towns similarly situated will likewise Dc excessively interested. There is no reason why tho state should agree 10 a road maintenance contract and then not fulfill it.

BUYING UP LESSER POWER COMPANIES

The Connecticut Light and Power company is fond Of expansion. Thus we find that one of the re- naming independent hydroeectric companies in the state-the Housa- tonic Water Power company-faces the prospect of having all its capi- tai stock purchased by the first named concern. In that event the management and operation of the Derby company would go 10 the Connecticut.
 Stockholders Of the Housatonic company have been informed that the terms of purchase are sl63 share, which those who are involved in the transaction say is fairly lih- eral." if rot more than that.
 Here would be a transaction that would affect the interests Of every one in Derby; and as the electrical business in every community is non competitive. consumers must take what is handed to them except in solar as the Public Utilities Com mission regulates the rates.
 The rates, however, are based largely upon invested capital. If it should happen that purchasing company should pay too much for the stock of an underling concern the rates might bc affected adverse ly 10 the public's interest. especial ly if the P, |. c. bases the rates upon the market value of the pro- pcrty, or what is usually called Ire production costs"
 The r. |. C. has repeatedly shown itself to be in favor Of be ing given an oversight over stock issues and stock purchases. In this way it would have a frmcr grip up- on the situation and could prevent much that can easily turn out dotri- mental 10 the public interest under the present system, But the Rora- back legislature will have none Of this; if II did the efforts Of the Connecticut Light and Power com pany, as well IS other pubic utili- ties, to buy up lesser properties at inflated stock values would be scrl- ously menaced.
 Railroad stock issues are subject to approval of the Interstate Com merce Commission In order to pre- vent the very thing which in Con u"cticut is permitted to run wild.
