structions were issued for the retracement of approximately 230 miles of original 

 survey lines and, in addition, 60 miles of original survey lines were retraced in 

 connection with the surveys of Crown subdivisions. Supplementing this programme, 

 special instructions were issued to 42 individual Ontario Land Surveyors in private 

 practice for the restoration of original Crown survey points on an experimental 

 basis. This is an attempt by the Department to restore and preserve with permanent 

 survey monuments, the original township survey fabric, by the remonumenting of 

 lot corners that are rapidly becoming obliterated. 



A wide variety of building and service improvements and renovations were 

 completed throughout the Province. A new tree seed extraction plant was con- 

 structed at Angus and a new sewage disposal plant was constructed at Maple. 



A new map No. 24 of the Territorial Series, on a scale of 8 miles to 1 inch 

 was published. This map comprising the territorial districts of Kenora and Rainy 

 River, printed in 7 colours, has the improved colour tones, shows the boundaries 

 of the Department of Lands and Forests administrative districts and a standardized 

 grid system for locating geographical townships similar to the other maps of this 

 series.
