FOREST COMMISSIONER'S REPORT. 33 



In i q 1 5 . the title to Potato Island in the town of Harrington 

 was cleared by the State in consideration of One dollar. 

 Xichatou Island in the Penobscot River in the town of Med-

Retracing and Defining Lines Around iReserved Lots. 



In permitting the timber on the reserved lots of No. 21 Plan- 

 tation, Hancock, it became evident that the exterior lines must 

 be re-established. This was accordingly done under the direc- 

 tion of Surveyor, Ira B. Hagan of Ellsworth and the Assessors 

 of the Plantation. A report of same is on file in this office. 



During the latter part of the year a dispute arose regarding 

 the south line of the Public Lot of Magalloway Plantation. I 

 endeavored to get a competent surveyor to resurvey this lot 

 before the end of the year but was unable to. This will be 

 done the first of the year as I have secured the services of W. 

 H. Jenne of South Paris in the matter.
