Applications of the following applicants for the position of State Land Surveyor were reviewed and discussed:

Robert E. Myers - St. Louis, Missouri
John W. Enfield - Chico, California (Applicant withdrew
his application, via telephone to
chairman Kennedy about a week ago.)

Mr. Bauer met with the Authority for an interview. The Authority agreed to pay travel expenses for Mr. Bauer to visit Rolla.
Meeting recessed for lunch, with Mr. Bauer as guest.
Upon reconvening, it was the unanimous decision of the Authority to offer the position of State Land Surveyor to Mr. Bauer, via a letter from the chairman.
Chairman Kennedy reported that he will be out of the state for about three weeks, beginning February 13. Hayes and Jacobs will check with vice-chairman Eckhardt if any situations develop that need action.
Mr. Barr will meet with the Illinois Land Surveyors Association in Urbana on February 19.
Mr. Eckhardt reported that Mrs. Betty Saunders, president of Missouri Association of County Clerks and Recorders, had discussed the possibility of obtaining part of the user fee for recorders. The possibility of state documentary stamps on deed transfers was also discussed. These items were referred to the Missouri Association of Registered Land Surveyors committee as appropriate items consistent with previous action taken by the Authority.
Mr. Anderson posed the problem of section corners being replaced by the Corps of Engineers and having dubious accuracy. The Authority will request from the Bureau of Land Management criteria for relocation and reestablishment of General Land Office original corners.
The minutes of December 1 and 2 meeting were approved.
Meeting adjourned.
