These signals are located along the coast line between Horton's 

 Point and Plum Island, where we have a system of thousand- 

 acre townships, each divided into 100 ten-acre lots, thus 

 being able to accommodate applicants for large or small acreage. 

 Each signal station has comprehensive description and is tied 

 up to and made a continuation of the United States Coast Survey. 

 On these signals depend the location of oyster lots and tracts 

 sometimes miles off shore in the sound and open up great present 

 and future opportunity to the oyster industry. 



I have carefully compared our system with that of other 

 States, and can say our system of surveys is the most advanced 

 of any, and if the signals are maintained, will be the key of the 

 surveys of future generations in the oyster business. 



During the fiscal year I have made sixty-one surveys of indi- 

 vidual lots or tracts covering 6,992.2 acres. Of this area, 2,192.2 

 acres are original surveys for new leases, and 4,700 acres are for 

 resurveys, as per following tabulated forms :
