Seminar on geology planned

JAKARTA (JP): The City Mining Agency plans to hold a one-day
seminar on geology, which will discuss, among other things,
drainage, the subway and land reclamation.

Governor Surjadi Soedirdja will open the seminar, which will
feature local experts as speakers and moderators.

Arifin Akbar, the head of the agency, said yesterday that the
seminar is very important in connection with development in the
capital.

"The seminar will provide technical guidance in any activities
related to mining and geology," he said. "Hopefully, the seminar
will become a forum of integration for those involved in
development in the city," he said.

At least 14 state and private universities will take part in
the seminar, which will be held on Oct. 14 in Ruang Pola at City
Hall, Jl. Merdeka Selatan. (sur)
