Show 634 HISTORY OF PUBLIC LAND LAW DEVELOPMENT The public lands have been managed or disposed of through a complex, confused, and intricate mixture of laws-said to be more than 5,000-supplemented by an even greater number of administrative decrees. These have sometimes worked hardships on individuals, and have involved administrative officers in detailed examinations of minute questions that have delayed decisions, and produced vexing legal tangles, necessitating appeals to the courts. On the other hand the delays may have prevented unwise decisions being implemented and may have led to ultimate decisions being reached in a better and wiser way. Obstacles that prevented the rapid alienation of public lands in one generation may prove to have benefited the present generation, which favors the multiple use of lands and emphasis upon public, not private, interests. |
