were appointed as required by the
Act of 1909 to ascertain and report
upon the allegations of the petition
and to employ surveyors to make a
survey and map of the proposed
new County, which surveyors made
a map OF. the territory and filed the
same with Commissioners, which
was filed in my Office and which
contains and embraces the territory
above set forth.

satisfaction that the boundaries of
the proposed new County, the num-

submitted to me by said Commits

1905, I am satisfied that the re-

in the old County of Aiken eight

Edgefeld, five hundred and one
square miles of area.
