    ACT NO. 3077 - AN ACT TO AMEND CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE,

    enactment or competent administrative authority.

    "As custodian and administrator of public lands classified by the Bureau of Forestry as non-
    timber lands, and of other real property of the insular Government, the Director of Lands, with
    the approval of the Department Head, shall have power to regulate the occupation or
    provisional use thereof, specifying in the regulation what kinds of licenses shall be issued by
    the Director of Lands, including licenses for the taking of stone, sand, gravel, and earth from
    lands of the public domain or from the beds of seas, rivers, streams, creeks, and other public
    water, where such taking is not otherwise regulated under existing law: Provided, That the
    amounts which may be collected for licenses to take such materials shall accrue to the roads
    and bridges fund of the province concerned: And provided, further, That for the purpose of this
    Act, provincial treasurers are designated deputies of the Director of Lands. (Section 1, Act No.
    3852)

    "The officers and employees of the Bureau of Lands shall have police authority over lands
    classified by the Bureau of Forestry as non-timber public lands, and other public real property
    under the custody and control of said Bureau and declared to be of the public domain by the
    courts, and shall have power to execute the decisions, resolutions, and decrees of the Bureau of
    Lands relative thereto, unless such decisions, resolutions or decrees are revoked or suspended
    by order of the Court of First Instance of the province in which the public land or real property
    in question is situated.
    "The said Bureau shall conduct surveys of the public domain and other public property,
    cadastral surveys, and official surveys of private property and shall exercise such other powers
    as are hereinafter conferred.

    "All existing records of Spanish grants and concessions of Agricultural or mineral lands, shall
    be preserved in the Bureau of Lands.

    "The Director of Lands shall furnish or cause to be furnished, to any private person or persons
    applying for the same, one or more copies of such records in which such person, or persons
    may be personally concerned and to which he or they may be entitled, the same to be
    accompanied by a certificate of its correctness, if desired on the payment of the following fees:
