SUBVET OF THE ToWNSHIP OF CAITHNESS, DiSTltlCT OF AlQOMA. 



Peterborough, December 29th, 1913. 



Sir, — 'I have the honour to report the completion of the survey of the town- 

 ship of Caithness in the District of Algoma performed under instructions from 

 your Department dated July 2nd of this year. I beg to submit also the field 

 notes and plan of the township all of which I trust will be found complete and 

 satisfactory. 



As instructed I commenced the survey proper at the south-east angle of the 

 township, from this point I chained westerly along the south boundary, giving 

 to each of the lots a width of twenty-five chains and twenty-five links from lot 

 one to thirty, inclusive. Lot thirty-one being thirty-seven chains and eighty- 

 seven links. A half road allowance of fifty links was allowed for east of lot one 

 and a full road allowance of one chain between lots six and seven, twelve and 

 thirteen, eighteen and nineteen, and twent3^-four and twenty-five, a half road 

 allowance was also allowed for along the east side of the west boundary, the side 

 lines in the centre of the road allowances between lots six and seven, twelve and 

 thirteen, eigMeen and nineteen and twenty-four and twenty-five. I ran due north 

 astronomically from the south to the north boundary of the township. To each of 

 the regular concessions I gave a depth of fifty-nine chains and fifty links, leaving a 

 road allowance of one chain between concession two and three, four and five, six 

 and seven, eight and nine and ten and eleven, a half road allowance of fifty links 

 was also allowed for along the north side of the south boundary line and along the 

 south side of the north boundary line. The concession lines in the centre of the 

 road allowances, between concessions two and three and six and seven, were run 

 from the exact points on the east boundary of the township due west astronomically 

 to the west boundary, while the concession lines in the centre of the road allow- 

 ances between concessions four and five, eight and nine and ten and eleven were 

 run due east astronomically to the east boundary, and due west astronomically to 

 the west boundary, from points established on the line in the centre of the road 

 allowance between lots six and seven. Good posts made of the most durable wood 

 to be had in the vicinity were firmly planted along the various concession lines, 

 between the lots — one on the line itself as a guide post with the number of the lots 

 cut on the east and west sides and the letter R cut on the north and south sides — 

 one fifty links north of the guide post with the numbers of the lots cut 

 on the east and west sides, and the number of the concession or R cut 

 on the north or south sides as the case may be, at the intersection of the centre 

 lines of the different side road allowances with the centre line of the different 

 concession road allowances — good posts were also planted with the letter R cut 

 on the north, south, east and west sides, good posts were also planted at the angle 

 of each of the four adjoining lots with the number of the concession cut on the 

 north or south side as the case might be, and the number of the lot cut on the east 

 or west side as the case might be, and the letter R cut on the two sides facing the 

 concession and side road allowances — these posts were planted at a distance of 

 fifty links from the centre of the side road allowance and fifty links from the 

 centre of the concession road allowance. Where the front angle of a lot fell in a 

 lake or in the Mattawitchewan river the posts were projected to the proper points 

 on the north or south or on the north and south sides thereon — these posts were
