The Commissioner Of the General Land Once

such holding was direct invasion of their rights,
though no one has ever contested the action oil

likoly, as this interest has come to be ouc OF
some magnitude, that suits viii grow out Of tho
Government action In a number Of cases which
have recently come up before the Commissioner.
Since tho present Commissioner has been in
charge OF the Land Once he has steadily
refused to allow the money OF the

has been called upon to act no has held
that tho United States has no right to survey
lands reclaimed by the extension OF water front.
