REPORT OF SURVEYOR-GENERAL 



The following surveys were carried out under instructions from this Depart- 

 ment during the past year: — 



Provincial Boundaries 



The Ontario-Quebec boundary north from Lake Timiskaming was continued 

 from the 208th mile to the shore of James Bay and this boundary between the 

 129th mile south to the Canadian National Railway, north of Lake Abitibi, 

 was retraced and re-monumented where necessary, under the instructions of 

 the Commissioners by Ontario Land Surveyor Shirley King and Quebec Land 

 Surveyor J. M. Roy. 



The line work on the Ontario-Manitoba boundary was not continued during 

 the past year, but steps were taken to provide for this future work by establishing 

 the northerly point of the line on Hudson's Bay and the taking of aerial 

 photographs over the projected line to determine the nature of the country and 

 the waterways crossing the line, to enable the work on the ground to be carried 

 out more expeditiously, when continued. 



Base Lines 



The 7th base line was continued east, in the District of Cochrane, from 

 Niven's meridian line of 1898, to the Ontario-Quebec boundary, by Ontario 

 Land Surveyors Beatty & Beatty of Pembroke. 



This base line is now completed across the entire northerly part of the 

 Province, the total distance being 690 miles, 24 chains and 94 links. This line 

 is run on chords of latitude through the Districts of Kenora and Thunder Bay at 

 north 50 degrees, 24 minutes and through the District of Cochrane at north 



50 degrees, 29 minutes. This line will serve as a correction and base for all 

 further surveys to the north. 



Base and Meridian Lines 



In the territory northeast of Sturgeon Lake, in the District of Thunder 

 Bay, these were run by Ontario Land Surveyors Phillips & Benner of Port 

 Arthur. 



Base and Meridian Lines in the District of Cochrane north and west of 

 Moose River, were established on the ground by E. L. Moore, Ontario Land 

 Surveyor, of North Bay, the Base Line being approximately at latitude north 



51 degrees. 



Township Outlines 



Nine-Mile Township Outlines, all in the District of Cochrane and in the 

 Moose River area comprising the boundaries of the Townships of Gentles, 

 McCuaig, Mulholland, Pickett, Gardiner, Morrow, Canfield and Carroll by 

 Ontario Land Surveyor H. W. Sutcliffe of New Liskeard. 



Nine-Mile Township Outlines in the Moose River territory, in the District
