the following Q are public 2 surveys veys being made as fast as demanded by the progress of sett settlement leme lit und could not a much larger area be surveyed annually by a slight increase of clerical force in the surveyor generals 4 0 office A itis the sense of this ap pd that the public surveys 19 are pat not extended as rapidly as mandy do demandy mandu by the settlement of 1116 the cot toys and abath is ig to the best um on glim CM mil tho the 6 settlers that surveys should precede L settlement instead of following it it is further the sense of this convention that the public surveys should be completed in the several surveying districts as rapidly as practicable and that it would be wise economy to provide the means necessary for the early completion of surveys in in those districts wherein the public surveys are now nearly finished so that the offices of survey ors general in said districts may cease as provided by law it is the sense of this convention that appropriations a for clerk hire and incidental expenses for the several surveyors general offices should be increased from 25 to 50 per cent of the present besent appropriation and that such increase increase would enable said officers to have a much larger area surveyed annually Q in what manner can the surveys survey s be made within the limits of certain railroad grants where the law requires the cost of such surveys to be paid by the railroads it being remembered that the government retains each alternate section of the land and that all the sections must of necessity be surveyed together Is it desirable to hasten surveys within railroad grants to ther end that the lands may be conveyed to the railroad companies and hence become subject to taxation in the states and territories where situated if so how is this thi to be done A it is the sense of this convention that every consideration demands the survey of such lands as early as possible not only for the reason that the lands would there byi become subject to taxation but k also for the further reason that th 6 grant practically op to withdraw all the lands within it from settlement as long as the land is because the settler is unable to tell whether he is onia onla on land ild iid belong to the tile railroad company or on public land this uncertainty 0 operates injuriously to the best interests r of the country tile the early survey of such lands should bei be compelled by legislation by requiring the companies to make deposits the united states furnishing equal amounts for their proportion of of said lands it is the sense of this convention that legislation is necessary brov providing iding that whenever the railroad companies pay their proportion for the survey of bf such lands an equal amount shall be placed on the credit of the surveying appropriation out of the treasury of the united states these and many other propositions came up for con consideration s ideran I 1 on and discussion and as we have before said the results arrived at by the convention will doubtless have an influence more or less in congress to the end that measures maybe may be passed alike to the best interests of the country and of the settler deseret university the chancellor and board of regents of the university of deseret met at noon today to day at president taylors office for the purpose of considering tile the draft of the resolution passed in the city council authorizing the mayor to deed to the university that piece aland wiand known as un union ion lon square tile tee draft as submitted was read and after deliberating on the sub j jeet act th the e board agreed to respectfully submit that certain changes and amendments should be made macle before the final closing of the transaction one ot the changes suggested has reference to the reservation on the part art ot of city that the public shall llave have the right to use the grounds as as is place for promenades and rec ree recreations rea the tile board considered that theford the word recreation has too broad broa d a meaning comprehending as it does games sports etc and that tiie tile ground in in any case was too small for any such purpose they therefore re submit that this part of or the tile resolution bo be modified as also that part of the draft which stipulates lates that the board shall shail tain the chief building on the square forever the board consider that this part should also be modified inasmuch as the growth of the tiie town might render it necessary to erect larger buildings somewhere else while as tile the draft stand stands should they ever im be compelled tp F do 0 this tho property and improvements they had made would revert ta the dap dtp alt y the board respectfully suggest that this also be altered so that they might be allowed to build elsewhere if 6 ever er it should become necess necessary aryl and still bold the |
