_ New Survey System

Victoria, June 24:—The extent
to which work in the survey
branch of the provincial depart-
ment of lands is ‘increasing may
be judged from-some of the fig-
ures in the report just presented
by Surveyor-General Dawson,
During the first six months. of
1909, the number of surveys
made was 708, For the same six
months of 1910 there were 1067.
In ths firat six months of 1911
there were 1929 and in the - first
six months of the present year

these surveys are fora section of
land, although a few are for less
and a few for a good deal’ more.

In cases, such.as pre-emptions,
where the surveying is done by
the -government, the. cost
charged back on the land and re-
paid to the governmentin annual
payments. Thus, although the
expense of the survey branch is
pretty heavy, it all comes back
eventually from the landholder
and does not.have to be met out
of the general revenue. «
The government, in making its
surveys this season, has aban-

surveyors by the acre and pays
them. instead at the rate of fifteen
It
is believed that the new method

determined until resulta are com-
pared at the end of the season. -
The chief trouble with the old
method. of paymerit. by results
was that some surveyors were
hot conscientious in their work;
being solicitous to turn in as large
an acreage as possible without
over-much ‘regard to. accuracy.
In some instances, these ‘errors
have gone undetected for years|||-
but have begun ‘to cause ‘annoy-
ance as. Settlers came into“thel|}
