APPENDIX A. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE MISSOURI RIVER COMMISSION, 1894. OFFICE MISSOURI RIVER COMMISSION, St. Louis, Mo., June 30, 1894. SIR: I have the honor to submit the following report of the work in charge of the secretary of this Commission for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894. This work was in charge of First Lieut. James C. Sanford, Corps of Engineers, until June 16, 1894; in charge of the president of the Commission from June 16 to 20, 1894, and since the latter date, in my charge. SURVEYS. Secondary triangulation.-On July 23, 1893, a small party under Assistant Engineer O. B. Wheeler, was sent to Jefferson City, Mo., to set a geodetic and elevation monument in the State capitol grounds, and to determine and mark its latitude, longitude, and elevation by connection with the Commission's secondary triangulation system and line of precise levels; also to set a small marking stone which, with the above monument, should indicate a true meridian. On the completion of this work, August 3, the party proceeded to Kansas City, where they connected the Commission's secondary triangulation system with the primary system of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. In addition to this two monuments on the Kansas-Missouri State line and a permanent point on the boundary between Platte and Clay counties, Mo., were located; six triangulation points for future harbor use were located and marked in Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kans.; and the azimuth of three bridges determined. The field work was completed August 23. For details of this work and its reduction see Assistant Engineer Wheeler's report. (Appendix A 1.) Mapping. Of the series of maps of the Missouri River to be photolithographed, comprising 83 inch-mile maps and 9 index maps, and extending from the mouth of the river to Three Forks, Mont. (numbering begins from mouth), the status at the beginning of the fiscal year was as follows: The originals of inch-mile maps Nos. 1-16, 18, 19, 22, 24-27, and 73-83, and of index map No. 9, had been completed; and those of inch-mile maps Nos. 17, 20, 21, 23, and of index map No. 1, were in progress. Inch-mile maps Nos. 1-14, 76, 77, and 80-83 had been published. Inch-mile maps Nos. 15, 16, 18, 19, 22, 24-27, 78, and 79, and index map No. 9, were in the hands of the printer. Proofs had been received of inch-mile maps Nos. 24, 25, 78, and 79, and had been returned for printing. During the present fiscal year inch-mile maps Nos. 17, 20, 21, 23, and 41-72, covering 1,145 miles, river distance, and index maps 1-3 and 6-8, have been completed. Inch-mile maps Nos. 28-38, covering 311 miles, river distance, and index maps Nos. 4 and 5, are yet to be completed. Inch-mile maps Nos. 39 and 40, and index maps Nos. 4 and 5, are in progress. Printed editions of inch-mile maps Nos. 15-27, 54, 56, 61-75, 78, and 79 and index maps Nos. 1-3 and 9 have been received during the year. Nos. 41-53, 55, and 57-60 and index maps Nos. 6-8 are in the hands of the printer. Proofs of inch-mile maps Nos. 57-60 have been received, corrected, and returned for printing. On the office detail maps (scale 1 inch = 1,000 feet) corrections, additional information, titles, and scales have been put on Nos. 1-27 (mouth to Sioux City) and on the 32 maps from Fort Benton, Mont., to Three Forks, Mont. Reference notes and authorities have also been put on the latter 32 maps, and on an office index map (scale 1 inch =2 miles) covering the Fort Benton-Three Forks section of the river. A comparative map has been begun, on which are to be platted, one above another, the results of annual surveys of the Jefferson City reach from Claysville to Isbell, and the platting of the results of the surveys of 1890, 1891, 1892, and 1893 is nearly completed. All mapping work has been under supervision of Assistant Engineer O. B. Wheeler. Levels.
