General Administration, Survey Records and Map Distribution 



MAP DISTRIBUTION 



A decrease is to be noted in the overall distribution figure of all maps in com- 

 parison with the quantity distributed the previous fiscal year. This is due to the 

 reduced demand for maps covering the areas adjacent to Highway 17 connecting 

 Sault Ste. Marie with Port Arthur, which opened a little over one year ago, and 

 due to the fact that our stock of the Provincial series of lithographed map sheets 

 on the scale of 2 miles to one inch, were depleted and those required for district 

 offices had to be ordered direct from the Department of Mines and Technical 

 surveys in Ottawa, which figures are not included in this report. 



A total of 22,119 copies of lithographed district and miscellaneous maps pro- 

 duced by this department were distributed, of which 1,970 copies were for the 

 "Official Use" of this and other Departments of the Provincial and Federal Govern- 

 ments (see "Trend of Map Distribution Chart"). 



The map sheets of the National Topographic Series, produced and distributed 

 by the Federal Department of Mines and Technical Surveys, as well as the sheets 

 produced by the Army Survey Establishment Bureau of the Department of Nation- 

 al Defence, Ottawa, for resale purposes, or for the "Official Use" of this and other 

 departments of the Ontario Provincial Government were distributed in the total 

 quantity of 47,712 copies (see "Trend of Map Distribution Chart"), an increase 

 of 1,864 copies over that of the previous fiscal year. Of the total distributed, 

 15,141 copies were supplied for the "Official Use" of this department, including 

 district offices, by the Department of Mines and Technical Surveys without charge. 



The demand for copies of the Lake Simcoe and Trent Canal Nautical 

 ("Marine) charts published by the Canadian Hydrographic Service, Ottawa, has 

 decreased; 367 copies were distributed but this figure is not shown in the total 

 overall map distribution figure.
