64 * EEPORT OF THE No. 3 



In surveying the side road allowances I did not plant posts at the blind 

 concession lines, but gave the adjoining concessions an equal depth, assigning to 

 each half the distance between alternate concession road allowances. 



My lines of survey were well cut out and well blazed and all of the lines 

 were run with the transit. Astronomical observations for the meridian were taken 

 at least once a week to verify the direction of my lines. The field notes were 

 kept as per instruction^. 



With a view to making the survey permanent in case of fire I planted alongside 

 the wooden posts an iron post at the points indicated on the projected plan 

 accompanying my instructions. These posts were marked with a cold chisel 

 similarly to the wooden posts alongside which they were placed. 



All waters within the limits of my survey were surveyed and connected with 

 my lines of survey whether or not such waters were intersected by the concession 

 or side lines run by me. The survey of these lakes has been plotted on a scale 

 ■of ten chains to the inch and accompanies this report. 



Timber. 



The timber throughout the township is spruce from 4 to 10 inches in diameter, 

 ■excepting some small areas of poplar and white birch, as shown in the field notes. 



Soil. 



The soil is clay with some small areas of lighter soil in the vicinity of out- 

 croppings of granite rock which occurs in a few places as indicated in the field 

 notes. There is considerable swampy ground but very little muskeg, and the 

 swamps will all be easily drained as the creeks and water courses are considerably 

 below the general surface of the ground. 



Minerals. 

 I saw no indication of mineral in the township. 



Lakes. 



There are only a few small lakes in the township and I doubt if there are 

 any fish; at least we were not able to catch any with hook and line. 



Game. 

 The only game I saw in the township was moose. 



I have the honour to be, Sir, 



Your obedient servant,

Ontario Land Surveyor.
