year During the year surveys were &C.
cepted to the amount OF asa, 372 acres,
principally In Dakota Montana and New
Mexico
Referring to the act of March 8, 1874
which authorizes the Secretary OF the In
terror to adjust each Of the railroad grants,
the report says that of the pend
ing selections q 500, SIG acres have
been suspended awaiting the action
by Congress- Attention is called 10 the
fact that more than 81, COG, 900 acres of land
have been claimed under the swamp-lahd
act in various States, Florida alone,
while having total of but $751;
$40 acres, having lists filed for a.
22l ,429 acres as swamp land. There
can be no doubt says the report, that
the large quantities OF land, amounting to
millions OF acres, have been patented TO
the State enormously as swamp, when in
fact they were and are good agricultural
lands.
The report recommends repeal OF all
laws relating to public timber and an en-
actment of a general law-piain, con-
else and unmistakable in its mean
ing. Fewer fraudulent entries have been
made during the year than for many
years past, owing TO increased Wig
lance, but several cases are mentioned
where syndicates sought to obtain coal
lands by fraudulent means, and in one
case, had they succeeded, the commission
alone would have amounted to so5o,Oo0.
