Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on a Survey of the Boundary Line Between New Jersey and New York: Made in July and August, 1874
From the beginning of the Geological Survey it has been noticed that the mile monuments, which mark the line of division between this state and New York, are not well protected, or fixed so as to ensure their permanency. Sev eral of them were not to be found; of these one or two were reported to have 'been burned into lime. Three others were found lying on the ground not far from the line. It is also suspected that some of those new stand ing have been moved from their original locations by land owners, for dishonest purposes. And it was known by local surveys that the monuments were not all in a straight line.* These particulars have been brought to the attention of the Board of Managers in former reports of this Survey. And in view of the doubtful accuracy of the monuments as they now stand, and the important questions of property as well as jurisdiction depending on the correct location of this line, a vote was passed by your Board at its meeting in Dec. 1872, authorizing the State Geologist to have the line, as the monuments now mark it, surveyed. This Survey has been made and its results are herewith presented. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
