The townsite, being very rolling and with a sandy soil, has, therefore, a very 

 excellent natural drainage. The station buildings, at the present time, empty their 

 raw sewage into the right-of-way ditch, into which also flows the creek that traverses 

 lots 22, 66, 101, 102, 141, 142, and 181. 



There are at the present time numerous private buildings on the townsite; 

 these are all shown on the plan and listed in detail on the list of lots. 



The field work was commenced on the 13th of August and completed on the 

 29th of August. 



Accompanying this report are a plan of the townsite on a scale of 200 feet to 

 an inch, a list of all lots, together with the customary returns consisting of pay roll, 

 vouchers, etc. 



All of which is respectfully submitted. 



We have the honour to be, Sn-, 



Your obedient servants,

Appendix No. 27. 

 Survey of Part of the Township of Cavell, District of Sudbury. 



Peterborough, Ontario, March 22nd, 1916. 



Sir, — I have the honour to submit herewith the field notes and plans of the 

 survey of part of the township of Cavell, in the district of Sudbury, performed by 

 me under instructions from your Department dated October 23rd, 1915. 



As instructed I commenced the survey at the intersection of the Meridian line 

 run by O.L.S. Stewart in 1891 and the southerly limit of the original right-of-way 

 of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Here I found a mound of small stones, the iron 

 and wooden posts having both disappeared, from this point I retraced O.L.S. 

 Stewart's Meridian to the south-east angle of the township, at which point I found 

 the iron post planted by him in 1891. Having secured a satisfactory observation 

 for azimuth at this point, I ran the front of concession I due west astronomically 

 two miles making lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 each 40 chains in width, and from the points 

 thus established I ran the side lines between lots 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 north astronom- 

 ically to the north limit of concession IV. The lines for the fronts of concessions 

 II, III, IV and V were run due west astronomically from points established on 

 O.L.S. Stewart's Meridian and the northerly production thereof. 



That portion of the township surveyed by me comprises an. area of 5,122.24 

 acres and may be described, as a whole, as gently undulating in character. It has 

 been swept over many times by fire so that with the exception of that in the swamps 

 little of the original timber now remains, the second or present growth being made 

 up, for the most part, of small poplar, birch, "alder, willow and some jack pine, 

 now generally known as brule. I would consider fully sixty per cent, of that 

 portion of the township subdivided by me very fair farming land, being a clay or
