Description

The process of City Surveys as herein set out differs materially from that of the old aurveys , and it is more economical in labor and therefore in money : it is fully as accurate and moreover it has throughout one main object which is that it shall be maintainable practically in perpetuity so long as the ground once surveyed continues to be occupied by a city . With the continuous and frequently phenomenally rapid growth of land values , and with the growing intensity of municipal activity and town planning and all the other operations for which accurate detailed maps and continuous and unimpeachable records of titles are required , the importance of such a system needs no vindication .
