Notice to Ploughmen and Landowners.

IT having been reported to the Surveyor-General
that survey pegs in various districts are being
daily ploughed up, the Government has decided to
prosecute in every case, and on conviction will press
for the infliction of the highest penalty (£50) allowed
under "The Trigonometrical Stations and Survey
Marks Act, 1868."

Surveyors and Police will be instructed to use
every endeavour to discover any person disturbing or
removing any existing survey mark or peg, either
on his own land or on land that he may be at work on.
