North Bay to Sudbury Trunk Road: 



This road, was dragged and repaired throughout its entire length, 80 miles 

 between the Towns of Sudbury and North Bay; in places it was re-surfaced with 

 gravel. East and west of Meadowside 3,070 cubic yards of gravel were hauled by 

 train from a point on the Canadian Pacific Eailway west of Sudbury from the 

 Canadian Pacific Railway pit at Phelan. North of the Village of Markstay, 1,055 

 cubic yards of gravel were used in re-surfacing II/2 miles of the road leading into 

 the village. 



In the Townships of Kilpatrick and Caldwell, east of the Village of Verner^ 

 about 31/^ miles of the road were re-surfaced, 3,205 yards of gravel being used. 

 In sections west of Sturgeon Falls the road was also re-surfaced where it had 

 become rough, 900 cubic yards of gravel and 1,203 cubic yards of stone being 

 used. Several culverts and small bridges were repaired. Between the Town of 

 Sudbury and the Village of Coniston a stone road was constructed about four 

 years ago. The road was re-surfaced with crushed rock in places for a distance 

 of six miles, and with coarse gravel for two miles ; 1,435 cubic yards of crushed rock 

 and 600 yards of gravel were used; five corrugated iron culverts were placed and 

 the road was well rolled with 12 ton roller and is now in first class condition.. 

 The bridge across the Veuve River, about three miles west of Warren Station 

 on the Canadian Pacific Railway, which was commenced last season, was com- 

 pleted. The bridge has a clear span of 60 feet with stone abutments; 500 cubic 

 yards of rock were used in filling in these abutments. 



In the vicinity of Meadowside, where the country is very flat, ditches had 

 to be deepened and five iron culverts were used to assist in the drainage. The- 

 road between Sudbury and North Bay is now in fairly good condition, although 

 there are still places which will require gravelling; more particularly in that 

 portion between Sturgeon Falls and Meadowside. 



The amount expended on the above work during the season was $69,484.31.

Trunk Eoad, Mattawa to Pembroke: 



Betiveen Pembroke and Petawaiva and Chalk River to Bissett's Creek. — The- 

 trunk road between the Town of Pembroke and the Petawawa Military Reserve, 

 in length about 12 miles, which was constructed a few years ago, was placed under 

 a foreman, with a small gang of from 3 to 5 men and from 1 to 2 teams; who 

 were engaged throughout the season commencing about the 1st June in improving 

 and maintaining this road. The road was continually dragged when required, and 

 new gravel was spread on the road wherever it became rutted. In places, the road 

 was widened where necessary, and the ditches deepened. Over this road there is a 

 very heavy traffic. This system of constantly keeping the roads in repair was 

 found very satisfactory on this particular road; and throughout the entire season 

 the road was in splendid condition. 



Twenty miles of this road were brushed out and ditched, and 15 miles graded; 

 44 corrugated iron culverts, 8 stone culverts and several wooden culverts were 

 placed; 1 cedar bridge with 14 ft. opening and stone abutments was built, with 

 300 yds. of rock filling; 1 stone culvert bridge 44 ft. wide and 7 ft. high was? 

 constructed across Barr's Creek, with walls on each side 120 ft. long, 20 ft. wide
