WASHINGTON, _February 12, 1849_.
_To the Senate of the United States_:
I communicate herewith a report from the Secretary of the Treasury, with
the accompanying documents, in answer to the resolution of the Senate of
December 28, 1848, requesting "to be informed of the number of vessels
annually employed in the Coast Survey, and the annual cost thereof, and
out of what fund they were paid; also the number of persons annually
employed in said Survey who were not of the Army and Navy of the United
States; also the amount of money received by the United States for maps
and charts made under such Survey and sold under the act of 1844."
