Therefore after spending the year 1836 in making divers surveys of a local character, which were required by the Legis- lature, but which formed no part of the original duties of the Topographical Engineer, that officer suggested the expedient of laying up the trigonometrical survey, until it could be taken up in the conjoint activity of the coast survey ; and in fact so did, retaining the discretion of resuming it when the proper period should arrive. In that condition, the work has remained f...rom the beginning of 1837 until 1840. The commissions have been annually expedited to the officer ; but the salary lies uncalled for in the treasury of the State. 6. But though the reciprocity in the tenure of the office was thus broken, the Topographical Engineer has not acted as if acquitted from exercising some of its appropriate functions : and in this manner, the Maps and illustrations of the several annual Re- ports of the Geologist, (which in justice to the artist, making the engravings from the drawings, must be said to have been well executed, and which if not valuable, may at least be termed laborious,) have been gratuitous contributions to the interest of the Work, and the diffiision of useful information among the citizens of the State.
