Municipal Surveys. 



Seven municipalities petitioned for surveys and instructions were given author- 

 izing the same. One of these and four other municipal surveys, for which in- 

 structions had previously been given, were confirmed during the year under R.S.O. 

 1914, Cap. 166, Sections 13 and 14, such surveys being final and conclusive. 



The survey of the Toronto and Hamilton Highway, between the westerly limit 

 of the city of Toronto and the westerly limit of the town of Oakville, was also per- 

 formed under instructions as required by Statute 5, George 5th, Cap. 18, and the 

 boundaries of such portion of the highway as defined by the survey duly confirmed. 



Particulars relating to these will be found in Appendices No. 18 and No. 19, 

 pages No. 78 and No. 79. 



Returned Soldiers and Sailors— Land Settlement. 



In the spring of 1917 the Land Settlement Scheme for returned soldiers was 

 put in operation. In adopting the plan of settlement which had been decided upon 

 it was endeavoured to devise a system which would result in placing considerable 

 numbers of returned men on the land in communities, having a common centre, 

 avoiding in large measure the isolation which unfortunately has prevailed in many 

 of the northern districts. 



The work of the past year has naturally been largely experimental, but the 

 result, to date, has been sufficiently satisfactory to warrant a very considerable ex- 

 tension of the scheme for the coming season. 



Report as to the work that has been accomplished will be found in Appendix 

 No. 35.
