VOL. 3.] MONDAY, JULY 28, 1862. [No. 16.

Crown Land Office,
Napier, 11th July, 1862.

SIR,—I have the honor to report to you on the operations carried on during the past half-year by the officers of the Survey Department of this Province.

Mr. Bousfield has been engaged on the Survey of the Ahuriri Block; from the altitude of that portion under survey, he has been much hindered by the inclemency of the weather. This survey is fast drawing to a close, and when thoroughly completed will not have cost the Government more than 4½d. per acre.

Mr. Weber having been appointed on the 1st March to the office of Provincial Engineer, his services were only available in the Survey Department for two months, during which he was engaged in surveying unagricultural land on Mr. Gollan\'s run, and in staking out numerous applications for 10s. land on the Ruataniwha Plains. Mr. Locke\'s services being required by the General Government, he was transferred temporarily on the 8th of April to the Civil Commissioners staff, previous to which he surveyed land at Oero and Kauranaki at a cost of about 3¾d. per acre.

Mr. R. M. Skeet was appointed on the 22nd of April to fill the vacancy caused by the transfer of Mr Locke to the Civil Commissioner\'s Department; and has been actively engaged in the survey of unagricultural land at Pourerere and Porangahau at a cost to the Government of 4d. per acre, or thereabouts.

I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your very obedient servant,
H. S. TIFFEN,
Chief Provincial Surveyor.

His Honor
the Superintendent, &c., &c., &c.,
Hawke\'s Bay.
