8 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



adopted years ago and the annual revenue from these and other sources 

 is shown in Appendix No. 3. 



Reference was made in last year's report to the closing of some Crown 

 Land Offices and the transfer of services due to the inevitable changes rendered 

 necessary by time. 



A list of the Crown Land Agents and their addresses appears in Appendix 

 No. 2. 



They have rendered every possible assistance and effort in the interest 

 of economical administration in difficult times. 



Appendix No. 12 herein contains the record of Free Grant Land trans- 

 actions. As compared with the previous year, locations show a 30% decrease, 

 the total number being 416 covering an area of 48,152 acres. The area of 

 assignments is decreased as is that of the area of Free Grant Patents. The 

 reduction is due to limited good lands remaining in free grant townships and 

 to a dimunition of applications. 



Sale Lands are covered by Appendix No. 13, which reveals an increase 

 in the number of successful applicants and a small increase in area to 82.775 

 acres sold during the year. Assignments of sale lands also show a small 

 increase. 



Last year the ratio of sales and free grants by districts appeared as follows:
