Show 5525 Kirkpatrick - C 3535 you put in your case. It seems to me it is unnecessary to clog the record this way now. you, Mr. Kirkpatrick, except those in use by the sur-veyors? MR. KIRKPATRICK: The data that is here now may be altered; it is no on file; it is preliminary; the surveyor has the right to alter these records up to the time he makes his final approval of his field notes. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q They may be destroyed by that time, may they not? be, if a man would lose one. THE SPECIAL MASTER: Preliminary notes of a survey that is not finished would not be competent evidence, anyway, Mr. Farnsworth. MR FARNSWORTH: If the court please, I think the actual surveys of the ground as indicated in this data that he has brought in court are the very best evidence there is of the fact. |
