Appendix No. 28. 

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



Peterborough, Ont., March 22iid, 1916. 



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

 survey of part of the township of Hall in the district of Sudbury, performed by me 

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



I commenced this survey at the north-east angle of the township, from this 

 point I produced O.L.lS. Stewart's Meridian line due south astronomically giving 

 concessions VI and V a depth of eighty chains each, and from the points thus 

 established I ran the lines for the fronts of concessions V and VI due west astronom- 

 ically to the west limit of lot 4. Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4 having been previously laid 

 out by me and given a width of forty chains each ; along the north boundary of this 

 township I ran the §ide lines between lots 2 and 3 and lots 4 and 6 south astronom- 

 ically to the south limit of concession V. 



That portion of the township surveyed by me comprises an area of 2,562 acres. 

 As this township lies immediately south of and is very similar in its general char- 

 acteristics to the township of Cavell, on which I have just reported very fully, I do 

 not consider it will be necessary to repeat this information. 



As will be seen by the plan a very considerable area of this part of the town- 

 ship is covered by the waters of Grassy and Tassie lakes. It will also be noticed 

 that there is a considerable area of drowned land. 



A good wagon road leading to the Shannon limits on the Spanish river waters 

 crosses the easterly subdivided part of the township. 



A round iron post one and one-quarter inches in diameter and three feet long 

 furnished to me by your Department is planted at the intersection of the line in 

 front of concession V with the side line between lots 4 and 5. This post is marked 

 " Con. V " on the north side, " Con. IV " on the south side, " Lot V " on the west 

 side and " Lot IV " on the east side. It has also the name " Hall '' marked on the 

 north-east side. At all other intersections of side lines and concession lines sur- 

 veyed by me are planted solid iron posts seven-eighths inches square and two feet 

 six inches long. These posts are planted at the exact points where the various con- 

 cessions and side lines intersect, they are driven within eight inches of the surface 

 of the ground and have numbers of the lots and concessions marked with a cold 

 chisel on the respective sides thereof. 



Fish, game and fur of the usual kind common to this section of the Province 

 are to be found in abundance. Frequent observations for azimuth were taken on 

 Polaris at elongation. Also solar observations for latitude, records of which will be 

 fQund in the notes. 



Trusting that this report with the accompanying plans, field notes, etc., of the 

 survey will be found complete and satisfactory to your Department. 



I have the honour to be. Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



(Signed) J. W. Fitzgerald, 



Ontario Land Surveyor.

 Toronto, Ontario.
