port for the last year. and II presented TO the
Legislature tonight. The surveys have been car
ried in the counties Of Essex Franklin Hamilton
Herkimer and Warren, where great tracts Of public
lands required immediate attention for the resora-
tion and preservation OF their boundaries. AT the
same time the boundaries OF Counties. towns and
townships have been fixed and permanently marked
and the typographical surveys for mapping purposes
have been carried forward over large areas.
The original surveys OF New-York, made In the
colonial period. emain the basis Of ali land titles
In the forest districts. particularly In the northeast
ern counties; these original surveys were so imper
fectly made by the first surveyors and with such
insufficient records and total lack OF stone monu-
ments as to be almost effoced and always OBJ
scure.
Between these uncertain and obliterated bound
aries located some OF the choicest forest lands
vet remaining In this State. Of which the State

seeking title to and will probably yet acquire Ave

OF the alleged liability OF the corporation to the
United States for bonds advanced to 1t by the
Government The decision in the courts was
also against the United States. Justice Harlan
said that the acts OF Congress OF 1867. 1864 ana
1868 all related to one subject. and must be con-
sidered as a whole when tneir application to that
subject Is to be learned. The acts or 1867 ana
1864 provided for the sale OF the railroads ana
their property In case the corporations failed to
pay the bonds as the full extent OF the protection
Congress deemed II necessary to make Tor the re-
payment of their debts by the companies
