AERIAL OBSERVATION.
VALUE FOR SURVEY PURPOSES By Telegraph.—Press Association. .Whakatanc, March 13. Mr. Adams, harbor engineer at Whakatane, after an inspection of thejiarbor by seaplane, strongly recommends aerial observation. He says he saw from a casual glance things never before dreamed of, such as sunken rocks where rocks were unsuspected, but to get the full benefit one needs a proper aerial machine permitting vertical observation with a special mapping camera. With these instruments an enormous amount of splendid detailed work could he carried out in a very short time, which otherwise would take many months of arduous labor. He is satisfied that the aeroplane and camera will prove most useful modern adjuncts to engineering.
