grounds. The road between Wahnapitae Station and Sudbury, a distance of 12 

 miles, was repaired and rolled with a ten ton steam roller. The road between 

 Sudbury and North Bay, a distance of 80 miles, was opened for through traffic 

 about the first week in October. There is now a good trunk road between these 

 two towns. Settlements have been located in places along the Canadian Pacific 

 Eailway between these two towns for the last thirty years, but up to the present 

 time there has been no communication or connection between North Bay and 

 Sudbury by road. The road throughout has been well ditched and graded; it ha* 

 few bad grades. There are still, however, a few sections that will require re-surfac- 

 ing with gravel, more particularly the section between Meadowside and Sturgeon 

 Falls and between Warren and Hagar, which will take ])art of a season to complete.

 Eailway; this road was graded five years ago. It passes through a section where 

 the soil is either clay or quick sand. It is a road over which there is heavy traffic
