NEW 8URVEYINQ PLAN.
A departuro In tho survey of public

ginning of tho fiscal yenr. Tho work
will now be performed by surveyors
empioyea uy mo general land office
Instead of through tho contract sys-lu
tern, i-na uommissioner uonnett be-
Hevee that tho change will effect an
enormous saving of time.
For several years tho land office has
been endeavoring to obtain authority
from congress to do Its own surveying,
permission nan neon reruieci until the
session jubi ciosea, wnon ioUo.oqq was
appropriated tor me worK Tills was
an Incrense of $376,000 over last year.
Under tho old system, after tho con
tractor had mndo his survey, It had to
be Inspeoted by an examiner of tho
land omce. It was never loss than two
years, and often threo und four yonrs,
before tin work was accept ml nnd tho
land made available to entry.
Under tho new plan of employing
the surveyors tho delays previously un
countered. It Is said, wll bo obliterated.
'I wo supervising curvoyors will he
placed In the Meld nnd will exnmlno
the work constantly ns It progresses.
As soon as practicable tho surveyors
will bo appointeu by civil sorvlco ex
aminations. This cannot bo dono im
mediately, as tho system must first bo
Installed and placed upon a working
basis.

The short skirt which was Intro
