To remedy tills situation, President Roosevelts science advisory board recommends the establishment of a central mapping and survey agency, in Its final report. Not all of the 28 existing agencies will be combined at the outset, if the hoards recommendations are adopted. They stress the desirability of making haste The new body, for which slowly. the name United States const and interior survey is suggested, would be formed by the merger of the present coast and geodetic survey, tiie lake survey, the International boundary commission, and the topographic branch and division of engraving and printing of the geological survey. It ls anticipated that other mapping agencies, at present left unchanged, would, in the course of natural events gravitate Into this nuclear organization. Existing Bodies Unchanged. Certain existing mapping and survey bodies are already so well organized, or have such highly specialized work to do. that they would probably never he changed. In these latter categories, the hoards report mentions the soil conservation service, the army air corps, the federal power commission and a number of others. The hoard stresses the nrgent need for completing the standard topographic map of the United States, of which now only about 25 per cent exists In really acceptable form. Such a map, showing not only ihe outlines of things but accurately indicating mountains, valleys and all other grades of elevation, would pay for Itself through savings on highway work alone, the report declares, continuing: Would Aid Many Projects. But it Is not in respect to highways alone that the need Is urgent. All drainage, flood control and irrigation projects, water supply and power developments, mining operations, land classification, soil studies, location of railways, canals, sewers, transmission lines, parks and recreation centers, and an end loss variety of ottier engineering, industrial and civic developments are peculiarly dependent on good topographic maps.

Financial Aid tc Science. The National Research council, an outgrowth of the National Academy of Sciences during the World war, would be charged with adminr program of istering Hie temporary financial aids to scientific research throughout the country. Coincidentally, the National Research council would conduct a comprehensive Investigation of those problems of wide concern, toward whose solution science may offer hope of valuable contributions and submit a budget for further appropriations. The new science advisory board would Dominate, on request, for appointment by members of the cabinet advisory committees for scientific bureaus in their departments. This follows a plan that has worked successfully In connection with the national bureau of standards and the United States public health service. What Government Can Do. No need for the government to embark upon comprehensive programs In pure science, invention or Industrial development is seen by the science advisory board, although there are numerous scientific services of such wide scope and universal utility that no agency except the government is competent adequately to handle them. The SAB considers In this category public health, weather forecasting, topographic mapping, development of scientific and technical standards, mineral surveys and statistics, safs-t- y codes, patents, soil science. Improvement of crops and live stock, national scientific museums, and engineering work relating to flood control, water supply and aids to navigation.
