REPORT.
LAND OFFICE, December 1, 1880. To the l-Ionorable Governor and Council: In compliance with the law, the undersigned Land Agent has the honor to make the annual report of the operations of the Land Department for the year ending November 30, 1880. During the past year, the office was held by Hon. I. R. Clark, from December 1, 1879, to February 27, 1880. This report covers the year, including nearly three months that the office was held by Mr, Clark.
SALES AND CONVEYANCES OF LAND. The sales of land are now limited to small quantities, as the previous sales have included all that were at that time fotended for sale, except to settlers on compliance with the law regulating the sale and settlement of lands for settlement. There are scattering lots in several of the townships '' reserved for settlement" that will probably revert to the State, by reason of non-performance of '' settling duties," and conse-. quently will be in the market again. Many of these lots: have been greatly damaged by fires, set by the settlers in. clearing their lands, thereby rendering them ordinary lots for· settlement. Some lots have been abandoned as unfit for· farms, after having been occupied for a few years and a small clearing made. One feature of the last named class is the. absence of timber and the presence of stumps. LAND AGENT'S REPORT.
The conveyances of land the past year have been smaller than usual, owing, largely, to the legislation of 1879, giving settlers their deeds upon paying thirty-five cents per acre for their lands, and waiving all other settling duties. It may be questioned whether such legislation will accomplish the object aimed at: prtm10tion of the settlement of the public lands ; or whether lands would not be bought at the price above named, and kept from settlement, for the timber grow ing on them. Schedules A, B, C and D, will exhibit the number of acres and location of lands conveyed. Schedule E shows the n.mount of land under contract to be conveyed when settling duties are performed. Some of these settlers have lost their land certificates, others claim that theirs have been burned with their buildings, others have given a claim on their cer tificates, either by assignment or mortgage, to raise funds to erect buildings, so that their cases are somewhat complicated, and require careful investigation, to do justice to all parties interested. ISLANDS, There are repeated calls for information in relation to the titles to islands on our coast, and it is not unfrequently some what difficult to give the information sought. A list of islands sold by Maine and Massachusetts, is published with this report, that will give the information sought, in many instances. On account of the almost numberless islands on our coast, it has been found difficult to ascertain the number belonging to the State, so that they. might be placed in the market. The only way that now appears feasible, is to act 1011 each application as it is presented.
RESERVED LOTS. The care and oversight of the '' Public Lots," reserved by -the States of Maine and Massachusetts, in their various conveyances of wild lands in Maine, still require no little .time and attention of the Land Agent. The ,~ right to cut LAND AGENT'S REPORT. timber and grass on lands reserved for public uses, until the said township or tract shall be incorporated into a Town or organized into a Plantation, and no longer," has been sold in nearly or quite all the townships and tracts of land in the State. The Supreme Court has decided that an organization for election purposes, is an ~~ organization into a plantation" within the meaning of the statute, and consequently termi nates the right to cut ~~ timber and grass" under the sale above mentioned. The duty devolves upon the Land Agent to look after those· lands until the plantations are incorporated into towns, when 1 the guardianship of the State ceases. It is the duty of the ,
Land Agent to collect all moneys due for i~ timber and grass" sold, and see that no trespassing is allowed. In several town-. ships organized for election purposes, the purchasers of the ~~ right to cut timber and grass until the said township or tract shall be incorporated into a town or organized into a planta tion and no longer" have continued to cut timber under the sale, claiming that the organization was illegal. That claim, in many cases, has proved to be valid. In other cases there are grave doubts about the validity of the organization, . requiring careful investigation before commencing suits to . recover the value of timber cut. In cases of the latter · description, the plantation authorities think, as a matter of · course, their organization is le-gal, for they vote every year, and their votes are ~1 counted in." Consequently, the Land'. Agent is frequently importuned to allow the use of his name in a suit at law to recover pay for timber cut since the alleged, organization of the plantation. The fact that suits at law must be commenced in the name of the Land Agent, and no . one else, renders him entirely responsible. It would not be · strange if he sl110uld err, either in his anxiety to protect the rights of the plantation, on the one hand, or to avoid the expense of a doubtful law-suit, on the other. 6 LAND AGENT'S REPORT.
ARCHIVES AND RECORDS. The attention of the Legislature has been frequently called to the importance of preserving the records, plans, and field notes, in the Land Office. They are of great value to the citizens of this State. An erroneous idea prevails, to a cer tain extent, that these records are useful to the citizens of the eastern and northeastern portion of the 8tate on1y. Such is not the fact. They date back to the c1ose of the ~i revolution ary war," and relate to the surveys and conveyances of 1and in all parts of the State. The State of Maine is the cus todian of these documents and records, and cannot avoid the ol>ligatiou to care for and protect them in such condition that they may be accessible to those seeking information that can be obtained nowhere else. It would appear that the State ·stands in the same relation to them that the county does to the registry of deeds, and is in duty bound to keep them where they can be reached at all times. These documents are, in urnny cases, the only evidence of the facts they con tain, an DR. STATE OF MAINE in a.ccount with CYRus A. PACKARD, Land Agent, for the year ending November 30, 1~80.
