Class work — Continued. 



Besides the work indicated in the above tabulation, which includes 

 all the regularly scheduled classes, we have directed the instruction 

 of several special classes taking lettering and topographical drawing. 



The main additions to our instrumental equipment include an electric 

 current meter, a dissected transit for class illustration, several tapes 

 and chains, three slide rules and ten ranging poles. We have purchased 

 a number of smaller items, also a few small tools needed in making 

 repairs. We need larger appropriations for the purchase of more transits 

 and levels, and for keeping all our instruments in good working order. 

 There have been provided for the department office a new roller copier, 

 a duplicating apparatus, a typewriter, and the stationery necessary 

 for the year's business. The total expenditure by the department during 

 the year for all purposes is $527.42, of which $149 was turned in by 

 the department for special examination fees. 



The inventory of department property, including instrumental equip- 

 ment, class-room and office furniture, observatory apparatus and tools 

 shows an aggregate of $4,818.45 on June 30, 1902, as against $4,536.53 

 last year.
