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.
