WHEREAS, by an act for the regulation of officers' fees by the
general assembly of Maryland at the session of seventeen hun-
dred and seventy-nine, chapter twenty-five, a table of fees was
given by which the surveyors of the several counties have
their services rated by an allowance in tobacco ; And whereas,
since said period, the character of surveys is much changed,
and the rates then regulating the surveyors' fees, do not cover
the necessary labour they now have to undergo, but leave a
portion thereof to be covered and met by usage, without the
sanction of law; therefore,

diem of four dollars for each day he may necessarily be engaged
in performing the duty the said orders or warrants may enjoin,
