118 KEPOKT OF THE No. 3 



ditch aud offtake, about y2 mile in length, was made. Then 3 miles of this road 

 was re-graded, i.e., as far as the crossing of the iCanadian Northern Kailway. Five 

 corrugated iron culverts were set in this stretch. 



At a point about a mile west of the Canadian Northern Railway, where the 

 road passes through a deep cut of shifting sand, the roadway was covered with clay 

 to the depth of 18 inches for about 600 ft, 



A 4:2 inch corrugated iron culvert was set in place and the fill, which had been 

 of sand but had washed away, was replaced by a battery of logs and clay fill; this 

 was at a point about 2 miles easterly from Stanley. 



For about I/2 a J^iile north easterly from Stanley the roadway was filled with 

 boulder sitone to a depth of one foot and the whole was covered with gravel. 



Ee-grading was done from Stanley for 2% miles; a 36 inch corrugated iron 

 culvert and 4 cedar culverts were set in place and the road was gravelled for 2 

 miles. 



Clearing, grubbing and grading was continued for 2% miles further to the 

 Silver Mountain Eoad. Low spots were stone filled and covered with gravel, 

 about % mile in all. 



Clearing and grubbing was done from the Silver Mountain Road towards 

 Hymers, about one mile in length, this being a diversion from the old road. 



Oillies Road: 



This is a diversion or cut off the present road. Clearing and grubbing was 

 done for % of a mile on this proposed road. The diversion runs south from 

 Hymers and is intended to overcome a steep grade and to reduce distance. 



Hardsione Road: 



From Hardstone Station, Port Arthur, Duluth, and Western Railway, to the 

 Silver Mountain Road (or Arthur Street Road) near Stanley. Clearing and 

 grubbing was done for 214 miles on this road. This road is the outlet for the 

 VVhitefish Valley settlements. 



Oliver Road and Extensions. (2OI/2 miles; of this 3I/2 is new work.) 



These roads were ditched, re-graded (including eiglit hills cut down to im- 

 prove grades) and surfaced with gravel, shale or best material available (about 5 

 miles of gravel or shale). Four corrugated iron culverts and 5 cedar culverts 

 were set in place. A steel bridge 300 feet overall, on concrete piers and abutments, 

 was erected at the crossing of the Kaministiquia River, above the crest of 

 Kakabeka Falls. This bridge consists of two spans of 90 feet each and has a con- 

 crete floor. The approach to the west of these spans consists of 4 spans of about 

 30 feet each. They also are of steel and have a wooden floor. 



The new work on these roads consisted of 31/2 miles of road building, and 4 

 cedar culverts placed. 



John Street Road: 



This road was re-graded for 7i/o miles from the westerly limits of the City
