As will be seen from the letter of the surveyorgeneral. there is a demand for land in Utah. and there are a great many people who want their lines determined. and as a matter of economy it would be an advantage to increase this appropriation for sirveying in that Territory. I do not wish to draw any contrast between Utah and the other Territories in this respect. hut by an examination of the appropriatiois it will be found that Utah Territory has not had onehalf as much appropriated for the survey of lands as some of the Territories. As the surveyorgeneral says. last year two Territories. into which there was comparatively little immigration. had doubled the amount appropriated. I kiow railroad lands have to be surveyed in all the Territories. as much in Utah. though. as in the others. I submit it would be to the advantage of the Government to make a larger appropriation for this Territory.
