Current engineering topics: Annual appropriations for topographic mapping

As the time for consideration of Departmental estimates for next year´s Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill approaches, the National Service Committee of Engineering Council in cooperation with all state-geologists is urging prominent engineers in every Congressional district to bring pressure to bear upon their Congressmen. This has been accomplished by selecting a prominent engineer, — members of the founder societies in each Congressional district, and directly appealing them to request their Senators and Representative to support a $600,000 appropriation for topographic mapping.
