The receipts from rentals exceed by

there were no timber or land sales;
since that law was approved only

RADICAL CHANGE RECOMMENDED.

kADlLAL LnANuE kELUMMENDED.
Land Commissioner Wouli Create New Office
and Abolish Register and Receiver.
Recommendation is made by Land
Commissioner bennett in his annual
report that the register and receiver Of
land offices be legislated out OF 4xis-
tence and the Office Of "administra-
t,r" be created in their stead, He
says:
"Better administrator would be
secured in the local land offices il the
positions of register and receiver
were abolished and one position Of
administrator were created. There is
friction between the register and re-
ceiver in many localities. While du-
ties Of the two officers could be easily
defined by law, YET they are both re-
quired to sign decisions and in other
ways occupy positions Of equal weight
and Importance. In view Of the fact
able to the commissioner and from
the commissioner to the secretary,
there is no necessity for dual super
vision of all records. In fact it will
he found that, as a general thing, one
officer or the other sign as a mere
perfunctOry matter. In addition to
this, by the substitution of Il clerk
who should be bonded and under the
direct supervision of the commits
sioner Of the general land office. and
, who should be intrusted with the
care and receipt Of all moneys, from
sl5O.cOo to S2OO,OOO year could be
saved the government. The salary OF
the receiver and of the register is
81, 900 each In the large offices Il
good efficient clerk could be secured
for the purpose of accounting for the
moneys received, at Il salary Of $4,000
a less sum to be paid where the Office
is not maximum in it's work. In this
way the United States would save Il
large sum each year, and the work
would be performed in a manner
more satisfactory than at preent, and
dual authority and constant conflicts
avoided
He also recommends that an addi
tional officer OF the general land Office,
a second assistant commissioner, be
authorized, to have jurisdiction over
the field force and to prepare eases for
the department.
Reviewing the work Of the year,
Mr., bennett says that the casl! re
cpipts from the sale OF public lands
during the year amounted to 50, 2.33a,
227: S2,65l from the sale of Indan
lands: $3.50, ,49O, reclamation and
water right charges; Sl7O,643, depre-
dations, sales of government prop
erty, copies of records and plnts.
The expenditures of the service were
50, ,4O4, ,025 less than the receipts.
During the year 1882, SOB acres OF
land were entered, on which SILL ,2io
final proof was made, and l2,sos, ,Sil
acres were patented, half OF which
was under the homestead law.
All of the surveys during the year
were performed under the supervision
of the government surveyors, and MI.
bennett thinks this to be superior to
the contract system, although little
more expensive.
