Licensed Land Surveyors

Provided that he shall, by virtue of this Act, be liable to keep Government fully and effectually indemnified in re-spect of any loss of, damage or expense whatsoever incurred by or on behalf of Government by reason of any loss of or damage to any such maps or plans occurring at any time when they are under his control.
