1egulated by tho government Two
allels and base lines: one when said lines are
run, and the other when the exterior and SUBJ
division lines on the south Of them are closed
thereon. AT the time the parallels and base
lines are run
THE TOWNSHIP, SECTION,
and quarter-sect1on corners are established
thereon. As the township md section lines are
run from thom, it follows thnt these corners will
be common to two township sections or quarter
sections north Of the rnra1lcl or base line, and
North and south lines nre required to be run
on the true meridian. Hence when the town.
ship and section lines below reach the parallcls
or base lines north they will not close on the
standard corners previously established, because
Of the convcrgcncy of the meridans, but will
strike the line ut Il distance corresponding to
the conyergeucy; east Of the standard corners,
If the field Of operations be west OF the governing
meridian and west Of said corners, If the surveys
be east OF tho principal meridian. Another set
of township and section corners Is therefore
established ut the points Of intersection with
said standard or bnsc line, and the distances OF
said corners from the corresponding standard
corners previously set are measured und noted
in the fled book. These corners nre called
closing corners, and will be common to two
townships or sections south of said base or
