58 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



"Between the land that I laid out as lots 11 and 18, I found a portage, and 

 as it was much used, I laid off fifty links on either side of it for public used. 



"Every angle of the lots were marked by a cedar post not less than three 

 inches square, firmly driven in the ground and around most of these was built 

 a stone mound. The posts planted to mark the front angles were set, in most 

 cases, a little distance back from the high water mark in order to obtain a more 

 permanent position for them. The position of these are shown in my field 

 notes of the survey. The twenty iron posts which were supplied were marked 

 and planted alongside of the wooden posts at intervals throughout the survey." 



Appendix No. 26 



Extract from O.L.S. Phillips & Benner's report of survey of cottage sites on 

 Trout Lake, townships of Gorham and Ware, Thunder Bay, dated Port 

 Arthur, July 10th, 1924. 



"We consider this lake very desirable for camping purposes, and there 

 should be very little difficulty in disposing of the lots. There are sandy beaches 

 fronting on the greater number of the sites and these could be considerably 

 improved by opening the dam at the outlet of the lake. This holds up about a 

 foot of water at the present time and has not been used for some years. 



"We consider the following lots to be the most desirable: Numbers 1, 10 

 to 22 inclusive, 27 to 30 inclusive, 36 to 40 inclusive, 42 to 46 inclusive, 55 to 58 

 inclusive and 60. 



"The road from Port Arthur to the lake is in good condition to a point about 

 two miles from the lake, and from here in it is very rough and will need con- 

 siderable improvement for heavy traffic. The road shown in lot 1, concession 8, 

 Ware, has been cut out and a small amount of improvement done on it as far as 

 the line between lot 53 and the Reserve. This Reserve was left with the intention 

 of it being used for parking purposes and for the erection of garages by the lot 

 holders. We did not reserve any part of lots 53 and 54 for road purposes but 

 this could be done if considered advisable." 



Appendix No. 27 



Extract from O.L.S. C. E. Fitton's report on islands in Gloucester Pool and 

 Severn River, Muskoka, dated Toronto, July, 1924. 



"I find that a good many of these islands that now exist formerly formed 

 part of the main land and also that the islands originally known as numbers 

 14 and 22 shown on the original plan of the township of Baxter are now divided 

 and shown as separate islands on this plan. The following is a list of these 

 islands that I consider formerly formed part of the main land and also of those 

 that originally formed part of islands 14 and 22. 



"Islands Nos. 133, 137, 138, 146, 148, 153 and Beachwood were formerly 

 part of lot 20, concession 4, township of Baxter. 



"Island No. 149 was originally part of lot 21, concession 4, township of 

 Baxter,
