The reduction during the past year in the number of invoices issued is due 

 to, (1) the consolidation of a number of requests from the same customer to one 

 invoice; (2) The Registrar General's Branch withdrawing their photostat work: 

 (3) The elimination of invoicing by requesting the public to forward their remittance 

 in advance with their request, when possible. 



Photost.ating 



46.725 square feet of photostatic paper was used for the reproduction of 

 documents and records for this and other Departments. 



105 of the oldest original survey field note books, totalling 4,187 pages, and 

 ranging from 100 to 150 years old, were reproduced photographically to approximately 

 twice the size. These are to be used for reference and copying purposes to eliminate 

 the handling of these very old and valuable records. 



Printing and Tr.ansparent Linen Reproductions 



Almost 60.000 square feet of sensitized paper, opaque linen and transparent 

 linen, was used for the reproductions of survey plans as follows: 



Transparent Linen 1,713 square feet 



Opaque Linen 438 square feet 



OCE and Blue printing (for public use) 28,318 square feet 



OCE and Blue printing (for official use) 29.042 square feet 



Total 59,511 square feet 



Approximately half of the square footage used this year was for the ofl'icial 

 use of this Department, the other being used for resale to the public and other 

 Departments of the Government. The use of transparent linen reproductions to 

 eliminate hand drawn copies of survey plans for filing in Land Titles and Registry 

 Offices, was doubled over that used last year. 



Book Binding 



The work of repairing and rebinding the original survey field notes and other 

 survey records was carried on throughout the year. In addition. 127 municipal 

 survey field note books and 50 of the photostatic copies of the oldest original Crown 

 Survey field note books were bound. 



Microfilming 



The microfilming of rolled survey plans was undertaken this year, and 

 approximately half of the total number of plans on record were done. The number 

 of plans completed was 3,027. which amounted to 11.548 e.xposures (negatives); 

 20 rolls of positive film were made of miscellaneous notes, plans, etc.. amounting to 

 2,000 e.xposures (positive). 



A new and cheap methofl of obtaining reduced small scale prints from the 

 Forest Resources Inventory planimetric ba.se maps was tried this year by microfilming 

 for the use of the Geographic staff, for compiling the manuscripts for the new issue 

 of Map 24B. This consisted of microfilming 362 of the base maps from which enlarged
