kmean that practically a new survey
/ Of the entire county would be made
The present survey, most of it, made
fifty or. sixty years ago, has to agreat
extent become obscure In some in
stances the original survey was very
poorly made, in others the survey has
BECOME very indefinite on account
Of fires and .windfalls >.:>,1 ~''..''
We have been Informed that new
survey can be secured without
any additional burden to the tax pay

be undertaken by. the federal govern
ment which would pay all the ex-
peises in connection with said. work.
All corners re-established. In this
manner would be of permanent ma
ture, either. Of stone or iron posts
with brass nobs.
At an informal conference held last
Friday, between c. A. Dahlgren, For
est Supervisor, C. E. Taylor, Federal
Forester, Highway Engineer Smith,
and. County Auditor Leng,. the matter
of a new survey was thoroughly dis
cussed and it was agreed to submit
the matter to the proper authorities
with the request that proceedings be
started, also that the same be sub
mitted to the County Board. for. their
approval. At the same tire. it was
suggested that classification could
be made of the land and the timber
of the county. This is something
which will eventually have to be
done. It is possible arrangements can
be entered into between the federal
government, the state and the coun-
ty whereby Z: joint ]and and timber
classification can be made and the

but covers almost $50 foreign govern
ment, municipal and corporation is
sues Of other descriptions. Revised
lists will be sent out from time 70
time as important changes in quota
tions occur. The purpose Of the list
is % standardizc the market for such
issues, establishing IL on a regular
trading basis and eliminating 50 far as
possible fictitious prices. The impor-
tanee Of the market, which still is in
significant compared with London, is
indicated by the fact that dealings By
one OF several houses in a particular
issue frequently exceed during A
week the total turnover on the security
exchanges located in the country whose
bonds are concerned.
