WAsulNGrioN, Special Telegram, Aug. -.
The land Office has practically settled
upon the allowance for surveys OF public
lands to be made in the new states.
The whole amount appropriated for this
was :;l25,OOO. OF this Washington gets
$lOO,UU, the largest amount going
there because of the difficulty in doing the
work and the consequent higher rate per
mile. Montana comes next, with $4,000.
Each OF the Dakotas gets $4,000 and Idaho
and Wyoming $4,000 each. In addition
to the above amount the surveyor general
i'll South Dakota will lave charge of the
surveying in the Sioux reservation. for
which there Is an especial appropriation OF
100000
With the amounts to be thus cxpenuc,ln
South Dakota. Washington and Montana
the department believes that the apprniri;i-
ton of $4,000 for examiners of surveys will
not he enough to keep up with the field
work. In view OF the loud calls for surveys
which are coming from these states the SUR
vcyors will be told to 20 on with the work
us fast as they can with the money at hand,
apd deficiency bill will be trusted to pro-
vide compensation for examiners.
