SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SURVEYOR,
FOR THE YEAR 1892-93.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
I have the pleasure of presenting to yon my Seventh Annual
Report on the works executed by my department, for the year commencing
on the '25th March, 1892, and ending on the 25th March,
1893.
As in my former reports, the corresponding figures for the previous
years are retained in the tabulated statements. Many of the
schedules are placed in the manner adopted last year at the end of
the Report.
As many of the recommendations in my previous reports have not
yet been acted upon, I have again repeated them. Those, therefore,
who are acquainted with my previous reports must excuse this
repetition, and I again ask their assistance in rendering it unnecessary.
