Map Survey Tower Pay Short Visit To Resooh Hill A Ti-foot steel tower which made Its appearance almost spectacularly last Priday afternoon on Reservoir Hill, overlooking the business dis- trict of Bellefonte, disappeared with the same rapidity Tuesday after- noon as engineers from the Depart- ment of Commerce Coast and Geo- dedic Burvey completed their task of locating lines of longitude and latitude in this area and moved on toward Philipsburg. The survey began four or five years ago at Harrisburg, was inter- rupted for a time when funds ap- propriated for the purpose were ex- hausted, and was resumed recently, Plans are to continue the survey across the state to Erle. According to engineers who were in charge of the tower here this week, the work of locating lines is sccomplished through signal beacons atop the high steel towers. At night signals are flashed by code between six or elght of the towers, and from information thus exchanged various lines are definitely fixed for use in From the layman's point of view the speed at which the crews erect and dismantle the towers is the most fascinating part of the work The crew began work on the tower here about 10 o'clock last Priday morning and it was completed by 4 o'clock that afternoon. The dis- mantling Tuesday was accomplished in even less time The structure really consists of two separate towers, one inside the other. The outside tower carries a ladder by which operators ascend to the top, while the inside tower, on a separate foundation to prevent jarring caused by the movements of men on the jarger one, carries the delicate instruments by means of which readings are taken In operation at night, the towers are manned by a crew of three; one to operate the gignal beacon: one to take various readings, and one to record data. During the forepart of the week at least three towers were in operation in this vicinity; one on the Centre Hall mountain; (Continued on page three) Ad- : —— Motorists Who Kill Aged Woman Barn Burns Dogs Must Stop And Arrange For Burial over dogs with And arrange body Motorist etr cal who run must stop lisposa]l of the known section of Penn- was brought to light a hearing in the offices of Jus- the Peace Harry A.
