~r. Thomas R~odes <br />No~mbe~ ~, 1985 <br />Page -2- <br /> <br /> Surveyors, engineers and developers in private practice can tie their projects <br />into the system of global network positioning with relative ease and little extra <br />cost to their clients because of the monuments placed by the North CarolingGeodetic <br />Survey at many locations across the state, Government surveyors and engineers can <br />plan large projects with the confidence that no problems will arise due to poor <br />location or positioning. The geodetic survey ties all projects, large or small, <br />private or government, to the same global system. Uniformity and realiability are <br />the key advantages to this network. <br /> <br /> In todays highly scientific and technical world, North Carolina is a leader <br />in progress and development. Elimination of the North Carolina Geodetic Survey <br />would be contradictory to the progressive standards the State of North Carolina <br />chooses to follow. Repercussions of its elimination would provide an imediate <br />hardship on the professionals who rely on the information the geodetic survey supplies <br />and it would completely eliminate all reliable methods of global networking in the <br />state. <br /> <br /> The services and information that the North Carolina Geodetic Survey provide are <br />a valuable tool that enables all who use it a guaranteed and reliable base on which <br />to make important technological and scientific decisions. <br /> <br /> I feel personally that the study comission does its work sincerely in the best <br />interest of the state, however, I also believe that if they understood what the' <br />geodetic survey does and the services it renders to its many users, they would have <br />not made this recomendation. <br /> <br /> As our state continues to grow, and construction and development flourish, I <br />would like to recommend that the North Carolina Geodetic Survey continue its valuable <br />work and be available for service when needed. As we enter the highly technical <br />and much computerized future, the base that the North Carolina Geodetic Survey <br />provides engineers, planners, and developers, will be an ever increasing asset for <br />progress and advancement. <br /> <br /> Respectfully, <br /> <br /> Paul E.
