Abstract Of Report of Surveyor
General.

The report of the Surveyor General for the
sear ending November S0th, 1873, shows the
] tptal receipts of the office for purchase money
Ecs, &c, to be $55, ,6l5 43, an increase o
sf s., ,46Q over 1872, and larger in amount
ban for any year since 1888, excepting the
scars 1864 and 1870 939 Patents were issues
4 bring the year covering l53, ,S45 acres
j The matter of bringing suits against land
oEners for moneys due the Commonwealth
g. unpatente1 lands has been postponed fol
b. present, on account of the fnancia
Houbcs; and III the belief that large
baiority of those so indebted will, if further
me be given, pay without being compelled
d DO so by suits. The Surveyor General
srongly urges all owners of unpatentcd land,
q make prompt payment therefor to the
Nate, and perfect title by application fol
etcntS thus saving interest accruing as vel
d cost of suits.
The notices Of liens served during the year
xhrace I6S,O)3 acres against which the
Sate has claims amounting to SOC, 7733.
Aptices to be served on others are being
npde out as rapidly as possible.
Special attention is called to the necessity
b additional Legislation for the better pro
'bton of landowners. Under the present
~ persons make it business to search for
lfccts-Or what they suppose to be such
d the titles Of others, and in many such
1 sses they have the required application
'itcuted in some distant place, where the
e owners can have no knowledge Of the
Fiminary steps to dispossess them of their

Nnccted maps to show whether the land
~ been previously taken up or not, expen-
~ and tedious litigation has been entailed
1a many persons who supposed that all their
Hs hts were covered and protected.

rWommendS that the witness, as to the land

~ and that at least thirty days notice
ahuld be required by publication in one or
'afre papers of the county of the fact of the
