Sec.  2562.4  Survey.



    (a) If the land applied for be unsurveyed and no objection to its 

survey is known to the authorizing officer, he will furnish the 

applicant with a certificate stating the facts, and, after receiving 

such certificate, the applicant may make application to the State 

Director for the survey of the land. Upon receipt of an application, the 

State Director will, if conditions make such procedure practicable and 

no objection is shown by his records, furnish the applicant with an 

estimate of the cost of field and office work, and upon receipt of the 

deposit required will issue appropriate instructions for the survey of 

the claim, such survey to be made not later than the next surveying 

season. The sum so deposited by the applicant for survey will be deemed 

an appropriation thereof and will be held to be expended in the payment 

of the cost of the survey, including field and office work, and upon the 

acceptance of the survey any excess over the cost shall be repaid to the 

depositor or his legal representative.

    (b) In case it is decided that by reason of the inaccessibility of 

the locality embraced in an application for the survey, or by reason of 

other conditions, it will result to the advantage of the Government or 

claimant to have the survey executed by a deputy surveyor, the State 

Director will deliver an order to the applicant for such survey, which 

will be sufficient authority for any deputy surveyor to make a survey of 

the claim.

    (c) In the latter contingency the survey must be made at the expense 

of the applicant, and no right will be recognized as initiated by such 

application unless actual work on the survey is begun and carried to 

completion without unnecessary delay.
