Survey Party Equipment 



Three field survey parties under staff surveyors, carrying out summer resort 

 location subdivision surveys, retracement surveys, and other miscellaneous surveys, 

 were supplied and equipped for field work. Major equipment purchased for field 

 use included one diamond drill, two chain saws, one three-hundred-foot chain, 

 two 18 H.P. Outboard Motors, and two vehicles. 



The necessary quantity of survey monuments to cover the survey programme 

 were distributed to various district offices for the use of Ontario Land Surveyors 

 on the staff, or in private practice who were making retracement surveys, individual 

 or subdivision surveys for summer resort purposes on Crown Land under instruc- 

 tions from the Department, for Municipal Surveys being made under departmental 

 instructions, or for other miscellaneous surveys. 



Accounts Payable, Supplies and Equipment 



Over 1,100 invoices and accounts payable were examined, checked, recorded 

 and classified prior to passing to the Accounts Branch for payment. These were 

 for travel and disbursements of members of the staff, purchases made for equip- 

 ment, supplies, maintenance and other operating costs, and for surveys made on 

 Crown Lands by Ontario Land Surveyors in private practice. Sixty-four property 

 receipts, transfers and write off forms were prepared for the Equipment Inventory 

 records. Approximately one thousand requisitions were prepared covering pur- 

 chases of supplies and equipment, maintenance and other operations. 



Cartographic Mapping and Geographical Nomenclature 



MAP PRODUCTION 



To maintain a supply of copies for distribution until such time as the new 

 base for map 21 "Southern Ontario" of the Territorial Series is completed, 3,000 

 copies in full colours of the present map 21a were obtained from existing 

 lithographic plates. 



The new base map for Map 24 (replacing Map 24a) "Districts of Kenora and 

 Rainy River" of the Territorial Series, scale 8 miles to 1 inch, having been com- 

 pleted prior to April 1st, 1962, was reproduced in 7 colours. The new base was 

 prepared for reproduction in Black and Dark Blue as compared with the old map 

 24a base which was in Black only. This map has the improved colour tones, shows 

 Department of Lands and Forests administrative district boundaries and a stand- 

 ardized grid system for locating geographic townships, similar to the other map 

 sheets of this series.
