GEOLOGICAL WORK1

FREDERICK J. H. MERRILL PH.D.

The legislation on state geological work for 1903 provides for the revival in Texas and Connecticut of surveys of their mineral

resources.

Texas ['03 ch.144] makes an appropriation of $15,000 a year for two years for a mineral survey of all state lands, all lands belonging to the public schools, the university, or state asylums and all other mineral lands within the state. Specific provision is made for assays, analyses, distribution of publications and other necessary details, and also for the exhibition at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition of the mineral collection of the University of Texas. It is of interest to note that the bill provides that whereas the mineral survey that has been carried on for the last two years has been of great value to the state and whereas said survey should be continued without interruption; it is declared that an emergency has been created and an imperative public necessity exists for the immediate passage of the act.

In Connecticut provision is made ['03 ch.133] for the organization of a state geological and natural history survey, an early effort at which was developed under the direction of Prof. J. G. Percival in 1835. Three thousand dollars is appropriated for the wof, to be expended under the direction of a commission composed of the governor, the presidents of Yale University, Wesleyan University, Trinity College and Connecticut Agricultural College.

Georgia increases the salary of its assistant state geologist ['02 p.96] and votes an appropriation of $30,000 for an exhibit
