DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1934 63 



Appendix No. 16 



REPORT OF SURVEYOR-GENERAL 



The survey work carried on under instructions from this Department 

 during the past year consisted of the running of two base lines, east of the 

 Nipigon Forest Reserve, in the District of Thunder Bay, where the staking 

 of mining claims was active, consisting of a base line running west from the 

 Township of Raynar, by Ontario Land Surveyors Phillips & Benner of Port 

 Arthur and a base line west from Long Lac to the Nipigon Forest Reserve, 

 with an addition of meridian lines, 6 miles in length, adjoining the base line, 

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



A survey of the shore lands along Lake Huron, was carried out by 4 

 different parties, namely: — 



R. W. Code, 0. L. S Windsor 



Speight & Van Nostrand, O. L. S Toronto 



E. D. Bolton, O. L. S Listowel 



J. W. Tyrrell, O. L. S Hamilton 



In addition to these major surveys, the Department undertook the work 

 of re-establishing the location of original monuments in several of the older 

 townships, where the original surveys had been almost totally obliterated. 

 This work was initiated for the purpose of retaining and marking with perman- 

 ent monuments, such of these original points as can now be accurately deter- 

 mined from evidence of the old settlers and from field notes of surveys made 

 of former surveys in the Townships. 



The work has proved a great boon to the settler in assisting him to deter- 

 mine his lawful boundaries and the reports on the work are very encouraging 

 as to the benefit which accrues therefrom.

 engaged are as follows: —
