during the dry seasons. A fair percentage of the country is a light sandy loam, 

 with abundance of gravel or road material. The country along the road is fairly 

 well settled. The repairing of this road through to Huntsville or Bracebridge 

 would not cost a very great deal, taking into consideration the distance between 

 Sundridge and Huntsville.

PEMBROKE AND PETAWAWA MILITARY CAMP TRUNK ROAD. 



The trunk road between the Petawawa Military Camp and the Town of Pem- 

 broke, graded by this Branch in 1914 and surfaced with gravel and crushed rock in 

 1916, owing to the heavy traffic between the Town of Pembroke and the Military 

 Camp with motor cars and trucks — averaging during the summer months from 100 

 to 200 vehicles per day — became rutted in places and it was found necessary to 

 repair this road. Screened coarse gravel from a pit at Petawawa Station was 

 hauled by rock cars and traction engine for 8 miles over the western part of this 

 road, and crushed rock from the Pembroke town quarry over the eastern part. The 

 grade at the east end of the Petawawa bridge was also reduced to almost a level. 

 The road was left in splendid condition last October; 10 miles of this road was 

 re-gravelled.

 repaired. 



Work was carried on on this road throughout the winter of 1916-17 and up to 

 the end of October, 1917. During the winter of 1916-17 the road was surfaced with 

 gravel in places between Wahnapitae Station and a point about 5 miles east of 

 Markstay. One bridge, 75 ft. long, was constructed over the Veuve River 2l^ 

 miles east of Markstay ; also, two bridges, 30 ft. in length, were constructed across 

 the same stream and a tributary, between Markstay and Stinson. Grading and 

 ditching was completed on IOI/2 miles between Markstay and Wahnapitae. Sixteen 

 m%B of this road was re-surfaced with gravel between Wahnapitae Station and a 

 point 5 miles east of Markstay. Forty corrugated iron culverts were placed east of 

 Markstay, and 75 wooden culverts constructed between Markstay and Wahnapitae. 

 Between Sturgeon Falls and North Bay, 23 miles, repairs were made, and the road 

 run over with a small grader, also between A'^erner and Warren, a distance of 17 

 miles. Two 40 in. corrugated iron culverts, 80 ft. and ISO ft. in length, were 

 placed at Sturgeon Falls. At Wahnapitae Station 350 cu. yds. of rock was taken 

 out and the road graded across the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's station
