The surveyor will be
expected to disclose all doubts, discrepancies, and difficulties, and to
afford all other information obtainable by him relative to the property, that
may aid in securing accuracy and completeness in the certificate of title to
the land.
In these matters he
must consider himself rather an agent and adviser of the Government than of
the person employing him, nor will a regard for the interests of such employer
be considered as excusing in any degree the withholding of any information
affecting the merits of the application or dealing, even though the
description supplied be literally and technically correct.
