1 XXVII. SURVEYOR 1
‘ The office of surveyor is found in the history of Virginia as early as 1
, 162h when surveyors were chosen by the com issioners of each county, their 1
fees fixed by law, and each planter was required to have his land surveyed
(Hcning, vol. 1, pp. 125, MOM). In 1792, when Kentucky was admitted to the 1
Union, the Kentucky Assembly provided that the governor and senate should
I appoint a surveyor in each county (Littell, vol. 1, p. 51). The early
J history of this office is developed*iE~tH€ office of Surveyor in the Inven- 1
tory of the County Archives of Kentucky, Fayette County, No. 5h, p. 87. `
. In 1886, when Carlisle County was created, statutory provision, still t
A in force today, authorized the election of a county surveyor for a term of
four years. He is required to be at least twenty-four years old, a resident
of the county, and to give such bend as directed by law. ‘(Censt. of 1850,
art. M, sec. 50; art. 6, secs. 1, 9; Gen. Stat., 1875 ed., ppT~685:—800; 1
1 Const. Of 1891, $605. 99, 100, 105.) *When the office of surveyor became 1
_ vacant,"thE—Elerk was directed by the county court to take charge of the 1
_ ‘ books and papers of the office until another surveyor should qualify (Gen. 1
Stat., 1875 ed., p. 801; Carroll, secs. 1526, M677), Before taking ovEY?' 1
thE—duties of his office,—TE7EEEt file with the county court clerk a cer- 1
tificate from some college or from the circuit judge that he is competent 1
Q- to perform the required duties (ibid., sec. h672a-1). 1
. 1
_ By an act passed in 1799 the court was given power to direct orders of 1
’ survey to any person elected (M. B., vol. l, p. 528). Upon his recommenda- 1
tion, the county court could appoint one or more deputies for whose conduct 1
he was responsible (Rev. Stat., vol, 2, p, LO2). Later statutes again au- 1
,_ thorized the court, Et—itE_discretion or by consent of the parties, to di- 1
rect orders of survey to any person, and, when the county surveyor was one 1
Of a set of commissioners appointed to survey land, he could administer 1 '
. oath to the other commissioners and act himself upon his oath of office 1
(gen. Stat., 1875 ed., p. 901). 1
After 1891, statutes enacted provided that surveying or civil engineer-  
ing work, which the court orders the surveyor to do, must be considered 1
