§ MR. WELBYasked the Chief Commissioner of Works, How soon a new Ordnance Survey of Lincolnshire may be expected to be published, and on what scale or scales the maps will be drawn?
§ MR. AYRTONsaid, in reply, that, according to the new principle by which the surveyors were to be guided, counties of the greatest importance would be first selected; but the selection would be qualified by a regard to the requirements of the War Office. At that rate Lincolnshire would probably be surveyed in the course of the next 10 years.
