EEPOKT OF THE 



No. 3 



During the winter, early in 1914, three (3) miles south of Echo Bay were 

 gravelled by contract. Also an outlet ditch one mile east of the Sault and one-half, 

 mile in length, was consrtructed to the Eiver St. Mary, under contract. This was 

 done to carry off to sufficient outlet, water from the Trunk Road which had been, 

 flowing across and damaging an adjacent farm. 



The total amount of road covered with this season's work was 241-^ miles of 

 which three miles were surfaced with stone and 7i^ gravelled. On all the road 

 completed permanent metal culverts were installed with concrete ends. In 

 addition one forty (40) foot steel bridge and a 6 x 8 reinforced concrete culvert 

 were built. Culverts are on the ground to finish the whole division between 

 Sault Ste. Marie and Blind Eiver, with the exception of that part between, 

 Thessalon and Day Mills.

Work was begun along the Canadian Northern Eailway at Capreol Junction 

 20 miles north of Sudbury early in May. A trunk road was cut out southerly 

 along the railway to Hanmer Station, 5 miles, to the line between Concessions 2 

 and 3, Township of Capreol. The first 3 miles of this road passed through a 

 country chiefly gravel and sand, and the next 2 miles through a fairly good level 

 agricultural country. From Hanmer Station the road was continued west along 

 the line between Concessions 2 and 3, one mile, to the Village of Hanmer on the 

 town line between the townships of Capreol and Hanmer; thence west between 

 Concessions 2 and 3, Township of Hanmer for 4 miles across lots 1 to 8 inclusive. 

 The work consisted in cutting out and widening a partly constructed old road. 

 The road was well ditched and graded and all old culverts renewed. The country 

 is level, well settled and under cultivation ; the soil a light sandy loam.
