But it limits the township lines to $11 and section lipes to $7. even when the country is heavily timbered and mountainous. Here I will state what I know to be a fiet. that in the State of California the surveys can not be made at these prices. That is a wellknown and wellestablished fact. Our State commissioners have found great difficulty in settling immigrants who are now going to that State for the reason that the interior lines. the township and section lines. can not be run at the prices now allowed by law. I do not know that they can be run at even the limit fixed here in that portion of the bill which is sought to be stricken out. $12 a mile. but I certainly think that this latitude ought to be granted to the Commissioner of the General Land Office up to the limit of $12. in the interest of the settlement of the country.
