The mayor, who is sick and in bed, tells the surveyor that his services aren't necessary – all of the city's land has already been surveyed. When the surveyor asks how this happened, the mayor explains that the paperwork must have been mishandled or lost by another department. The mayor then asks his wife to sift through his files (which are bundled in no particular order) to find the documentation. The story ends with the mayor explaining the labyrinth of bureaucratic dysfunction which may have caused the error – although he says, no one can be sure what really happened.
