REPORT OF THE 



No. 3 



road bed of the quick sand. This had evidently been going on for years. The 

 point is where the Yenve River turns at a sharp angle and the current strikes the 

 bank. This has been repaired and took £,500 cubic yards of rock to complete the 

 work. About 2 miles further west on the same road, where the trunk road crosses 

 the Veuve to the south shore, an old bridge which was constructed about 15 years 

 ago gave way, both abutments became rotten and the bridge collapsed. A new 

 bridge with stone abutments is now under construction with a clear span of 60 feet. 



A road was explored from a point about 3 miles north of St. Charles near the 

 south east corner of the Township of Dunnet, north to Hagar Siding on the 

 Canadian Pacific Railway, a distance of a little over 3 miles, and cut out for a 

 winter road, but not graded. 



$36,961.85 was expended on this road.

CoppEE Cliff and Creighton Trunk Road and Other Roads in the Vicinity 



OF Sudbury. 



Early in February operations were started on the road from the Town of 

 Copper Cliff to the Creighton Mine, a distance of about seven miles. The work 

 was carried on on this road throughout the winter and well on into August. 

 A first class waterbound macadamized road was constructed between these two 

 places. Ten thousand and six hundred cubic yards of crushed rock were used 

 on the construction of this road. The rock was procured from the Canadian 

 Copper Company's Crushers at Creighton Mine and hauled by teams over the 

 road. Between Copper Cliff Station and ISTaughton Station on the Canadian 

 Pacific Railway, Soo branch, the Trunk Road, which was built nearly 10 years ago, 

 was improved, regraded in places and surfaced with gravel in places. This road 

 is still, however, in bad condition in sections, and will require to be re-graded and 

 gravelled the coming season.
