116 KEPOKT OF THE No. 3^ 



DISTRICT OF TEMISKAMING. 

 Vicinity of Englehart and Charlton. 



Work on the construction of bridges was continued throughout the winter of 

 1916-17. 



On the road between Concessions 5 and 6, Township of Evanturel, the bridge 

 partly constructed the previous season, and damaged by the spring freshets of 1916, 

 was re-constructed; the bridge is built on cedar piles and piers, the length, includ- 

 ing abutments, is 300 feet, three spans of 60 feet clear, two spans 28 feet and one 

 16 feet. 



The iron bridge built eight years ago on Lots 10 and 11, Township of Marter, 

 was found to be too low and was raised six feet. New approaches were built to each 

 end as the old approaches had been washed away during the spring freshet of 1916. 



A new bridge was constructed near the village of Charlton, across the Blanche 

 River on Lots 10 and 11, Concession 5, Township of Dack, 136 feet long, two spans 

 of 50 feet and one of 36 feet, with stone abutments and stone-filled pier. 



On the townline between Bryce and Eobillard, Lot 4, a bridge was partly 

 constructed. 



The balance of the work in this district, under my supervision up to the 1st of 

 June, consisted in re-grading and repairing old roads, constructing culverts and 

 repairing washouts caused by the spring freshets.
