HOW PUBLIC LAND Is SURVEYED.
Commissioner Williamson, Of the Land
Office, before the House Committee on
Public Lands, to-day gave his views on
the proposed abolition OF surveyors. He
said under the present system the expense
Of experimenting the expenditure OF
moneys for the public survey was sixty
per cent Of the amount appropriated.
He knew of leases where contractors for
large amounts made fictitious lines sit
ting in their tents. They then come TO
Washington to show maps with the lines
down, swear that surveys have been made
and get money for their contracts. Com
missioner Williamson has prepared
bill to remedy the evil. II provides for
the abolition OF the contract system, and
for having the work done by surveyors
appointed by the Commissioner General
in Washington.
