§ 3. Present state of the Spanish cadastre. 



The cadastral operations which are now being proceeded with fairly 

 actively are in conformity with the provisions of the law of March 23rd., 

 1906 and follow the Hues indicated in the following table.

This work is part of that executed in preparation of the general Map. 

 However, as it is desired that the work required for the cadastre may be 

 commenced and have made sufficient progress before the work for the map 

 is finished, that part shown in the above table has been pushed forward, 

 though it will be brought into harmony with the geodetic tracing and 

 complete it with the details of the land and the taking of levels indis- 

 pensable for the cadastre. 



This work for the map which is being carried out in advance for the 

 cadastre consists also of local trigonometrical surveys independent of those 

 of the municipal district. It includes also the tracing of the figures de- 

 duced from their apices, that of the line formed by them in the polygon the 

 sides of which mark the geometrical limits of the municipal district, the roads 

 and waterways and the boundary lines of towns of more or less importance. 



By the tracing of these Hues, the municipal district is divided into 

 a large number of local polygons, the area of which may be measured on 

 the plans by means of the designs or mechanically and always with an 

 accuracy more than sufficient for the needs of this preliminary cadastre.
