submitted date unrecorded by Congress to r/title-43-PUBLIC-LANDS · 82 words · no verdicts yet
This section authorizes the President to order a State or district marshal to protect a surveyor or deputy surveyor. The President may do this when the President is satisfied that someone has used, or is likely to use, force against the surveyor or deputy surveyor while surveying public lands.
Whenever the President is satisfied that forcible opposition has been offered, or is likely to be offered, to any surveyor or deputy surveyor in the discharge of his duties in surveying the public lands, it may be lawful for the President to order the marshal of the State or district, by himself or deputy, to attend such surveyor or deputy surveyor with sufficient force to protect such officer in the execution of his duty, and to remove force should any be offered.
