MUCH SURVEYING Done
DURING THE Year 1918
Report on Work, Made BY the Gen
eral Land Office, Gives Great
Satisfaction.
FUND OF $sso,ooo is AVAILABLE

Secretary Lane has just received a re-
port from Commissioner Tallman, of the
Land Office. with respect to the surveying
work performed by the bureau. which
shows that in point of character of work.
area surveyed and cost. the past season s
work in surveying shows better results
than at any period heretofore In the his
tory OF the General Land Office.
Frank NJ. Johnson, supervisor Of sur
veys of the General Land Office, has been
called to Washington for consultation.
His reports as to the past seasons work
in the field are finally conclusive of the
success OF the direct system of surveys
that is to say, surveying by government
employees directly, by and through reg
ular organization with full government
equipment for that purpose, rather than
by survey by competitive contract, as In
former years. Not only is the actual
work itself materially less expensive, but
the results are far more satisfactory.
The surveying service of the General
Land Office has surveyed during the last
season under the direction of the COM
missioner about IA, 10000 acres of the
public domain at a cost of about $40
cents per acre for field work. Most of
this newly surveyed area lies west of the
I5oth meridian of west longitude and in
cludes Alaska. but extensive surveys and
rcsurveys also have been made In Ne
braska, South Dakota, and Arkansas,
while fragmentary surveys now are being
executed in Florida and Louisiana
In addition to this immense work.
which identifies for disposal approximate
ly, 1900 quarter sections. the General
Land Office has made numerous investi-
cation and examination surveys.
For the work Congress appropriated
500 900. out of which about s15o,ooo was
deducted for metal corner posts, coal land
classification. mineral inspection. instru-
ments, &c, leaving balance Of $4,000
which amount. with deposits by indi-
viduals for surveying public lands. ere
ated fund of about ss50,0oo available for
public-land surveys. \
