REPORT OF THE 



No. 3 



The trunk road connecting the Towns of Kenora and Keewatin constructed 

 6 years ago was repaired and re-surfaced in places where it had become rutted 

 and the dangerous crossing on the Canadian Pacific Railway almost in front of 

 the Keewatin Station was improved and widened from 12 ft. to 32 ft. The 

 grade on approaching to the railway was cut down, and a retaining wall of 150 ft. 

 in length made of stone was erected, making this dangerous crossing safe.
