a 
large scale mapping at scales of 1:10,000 or smaller. The very large scale maps at scales of 
1:10,000 or larger are relatively scarce except in very heavily populated areas. Of course, 
such very large scale maps are absolutely essential for intelligent community planning as well 
as sound engineering. The large population expansion in recent years, and no doubt in future 
years, will increase the size of communities and result in more and more demand for mapping 
services. This the government cannot readily supply without heavily overtaxing its existing 
facilities. Therefore, it will fall to the private commercial photogrammetrists to satisfy these 
demands. It is to be hoped and expected, because of the competitive spirit of these private com- 
panies, that we can look for development of better, faster mapping techniques but at a lower cost 
per unit area mapped. Of course development of these new procedures and equipment will ulti- 
mately be of universal benefit to the private photogrammetrist and the government photogram- 
metrist, both in the United States and internationally.
