under the State Council and reported to the department of standardization
administration under the State Council for the record, and shall be

第五条 托管单位和保管单位签订的永久性测量标志委托保管书，一份存保管单位，一份存托管单位。保管单位的组织机构或接受委托的负责人有变动时，应立即通知托管单位。
第六条 保管单位对接管的永久性测量标志，应指派专人负责保护、管理和检查，并做好以下各项工作：
一、教育群众，不损坏标石，不拆毁、不攀登标架及附件，不在标架上设置电视天线和扩音器及其它设施。

第十二条 市测绘处是各种永久性测量标志管理工作的主管部门。各区、县人民政府应指定部门负责本区、县范围内各种永久性测量标志的管理工作。
第十三条 本办法自颁布之日起施行。
关于加强永久性测量标志管理的报告
市人民政府：
建国三十五年来，由于社会主义经济建设和国防建设的需要，国家测绘局、解放军总参谋部测绘局、天津市测绘处及其他测绘单位，在我市一万一千三百平方公里的范围内，陆续埋设了各种永久性测量标志约四千五百个点，包括天文点、重力点、水准点、三角点、导线点、军控点、海
控点、炮控点。这些点都埋设石质标志，其中有些点在地面上还建造了木质或钢质觇标。这些永久性测量标志为城市、农业、水利的规划、设计，行政区划的划分，公路、铁路、机场、港口码头、地下工程的设计施工，地面沉降及大型建筑物沉降的测定，提供了必要的控制依据，在地震预
测预报、地壳升降等科学考察研究中，地质、矿藏的勘探，土地、河流、海洋的普查、开发，以及国防建设等方面，都起着重要作用。
多年来，我市各级人民政府、各有关部门对永久性测量标志的管理保护做了大量的工作，使大部分测量标志得以保存完好。但在十年动乱中，对永久性测量标志的管理，处于无人过问的状态，加之宣传教育工作不够，少数人法制观念淡薄，致使我市永久性测量标志遭受破坏的现象相当
严重，不仅使国家财产受到损失，而且使城市建设受到很大影响。如海河节制闸上的永久性测量标志于一九八四年三月被破坏，使几十年测定大闸沉降、位移的系统资料完全失去应用价值。我局测绘处于一九八四年对二千七百五十四个测量标志作了调查，其中，三百四十五个点被破坏，占
调查总数的12．5％，四百五十三个点丢失，占调查总数的16．4％。
为切实加强对永久性测量标志的管理，我们代拟了《天津市永久性测量标志管理暂行办法（草案）》请审定。
