District land office Receivers were responsible for all financial transactions relating to the sale of public lands. They were required to submit a monthly fee statement with their monthly accounts to the U.S. General Land Office. These forms provided a comprehensive listing of the numbers of transactions and fees collected by the Receiver. The statements summarize the number of acres entered and fees and commissions collected under the Homestead Acts; the number of acres located with military bounty land warrants and agricultural script and fees received for such services; the number of pre-emption declarations, homestead declarations, and mining applications and declarations filed and fees collected; the fees received on railroad selections; and miscellaneous fees, such as those for taking testimonies and making plats, diagrams and transcripts. These records provide an excellent summary of the monthly fee transactions of district land office Receivers.
