DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR GENERAL LAND OFFICE WASHINGTON, June 16, 1919. GENTLEMEN: It has been deemed advisable to publish advance sheets of six chapters of a new edition of the Manual of Surveying Instructions, as follows: (I) Regulations Imposed by Law; (II) Instruments and Methods; (III) System of Rectangular Surveys; (IV) Corner Monuments; (V) Restoration of Lost Corners; and, (VI) Resurveys. These advance sheets will immediately supersede the related provisions of the Manual of 1902, except as may be found impracticable in the case of surveys already in process of execution, or in the instance of returns of surveys now in course of preparation, otherwise the provisions of the Manual of 1902 will remain in full force and effect. Every member of the surveying service is requested to report to the undersigned any typographical errors which may be detected, to the end that the same may be removed from the completed edition. Very respectfully, CLAY TALLMAN, To the SURVEYING SERVICE OF THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE. |
