The following statement, prepared by Hon. Binger Hermann, Commissioner of the General Land Office, gives the status of the public lands in the insular possessions: "No intelligent action can be taken looking either to the surveying or disposal of the public lands in either the Philippines or Porto Rico until sufficient reliable data has been furnished through some competent and trustworthy source. It is, therefore, suggested that the Interior Department take this matter under advisement with a view to securing information upon the various methods heretofore adopted by the Spanish government for the surveying and disposal of its public lands, and if practicable, investigations be made of the Spanish archives with a view to securing full and complete information upon the subject of titles, previous land disposals and legislation thereon, including the extent and location of the lands belonging to the government. With the data thus obtained some practicable system may be devised for the disposal of such lands." PUBLIC SCHOOLS-Continued. Brooklyn Public Schools.
