Replies to the observations of the Deputy Director of Surveys enclosed in No. 56, and regrets that, for the reasons stated, the Governor's proposal that he should be authorized to engage surveyors from the Dominions on such terms as inay be considered necessary cannot be accepted, although the Secretary of State is willing to give him discretion in the selection of candidates provided he is given, beforehand, particulars in each case. Transmits, in reply to No. 58, copy of | 119
No. 59, from which it will be seen that the Treasury view has been accepted.
