During Mr. Price's absence in England, however, these fees were drawn by his locum tenens, Mr. Bowdler, and as the amount drawn by him in 1881 was very high, amounting to $2,056.80, I thought it my duty to call the attention of the Secretary of State to this large addition to the salary of the Surveyor-General. In reply, I was directed that these fees should be discontinued to subsequent holders of that Office.
