Section 4
SEC. 4. In order to expedite the survey and subdivision work, the services of duly qualified private land surveyors may be employed, in which case the Director of Lands should impose the conditions that no surveyor should be given an area of more than five thousand hectares, or an association or group of surveyors, ten thousand hectares. The assignment shall be given to the lowest bidder and no assignment shall be made until the surveyor or association or group of surveyors have filed a bond satisfactory to the Director of Lands in an amount equivalent to at least thirty per centum of the total agreed consideration or price for the survey, to guarantee the faithful execution of the work. The Government may retain such part of any payment due the surveyor or, surveyors undertaking the work, as may be sufficient to defray the cost of any correction work that may have to be done by the Bureau of Lands.
