1920-21 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS. 89 



The survey was commenced at the south-west angle of the Township of 

 Jacques. From this point a mile was measured on the west boundary of Jacques 

 and from here the line between concessions one and two was run west astronomic- 

 ally to the west boundary of the township. On this line posts were planted 

 at intervals of 40.00 chains to mark the corners of lots fronting thereon. From 

 the end of each mile on this concession line the sidelines between lots two and 

 three, four and five, gnd so on were run south astronomically to intersect the 

 northerly boundary of/ the Township of Ware and also north astronomically to 

 the north boundary of the township. On the side line between lots two and 

 three, the widths of concessions two, three, four and five were laid off, each 

 being made 80.00 chains and from these points the concession lines were run 

 east to intersect the westerly boundary of the Township of Jacques. The lines 

 between concessions two and three and concessions three and four were then 

 run west astronomically to the west boundary of the township and the lines 

 between concessions four and five and between ' concessions five and six were run 

 west astronomically to intersect the high water line of Dog Lake. The north 

 boundary of the township was run west astronomically from the north-west 

 angle of the Township of Jacques to Dog Lake. As the line between concessions 

 one and two which was used as a base to lay off the widths of the various lots 

 does not run across the full twelve miles, the line in front of concession four 

 was used as a base to lay off the widths of lot's nineteen, twenty, twenty-one 

 and twenty-two, each of which was given 40.00 chains. The width of lot twenty- 

 three was established by taking the distance below the westerly limit of lot 

 twenty-two, as established above, and a line run by O.L.S. Fawcett, in 1907, 

 as a trial line for the east boundary of Grand Trunk Pacific Block N'o. 1, the 

 distance being 43.95 chains. The width of this lot in concession five and six 

 was also made this distance. From the lot corners established, the side lines 

 between lots twenty and twenty-one and between lots twenty-two and twenty- 

 three were run ^uth astronomically to the south boundary of the township 

 and north astronomically to the north boundary of- the township. On the line 

 between lots twenty and twenty-one the depth of concession four was made 79.76 

 chains and from here the line in front of concession five was run west astronomic- 

 ally to the west boundary of the township. On the line between lots twenty-two and 

 twenty-three the depths of concessions five and six were made 79.80 chains and 

 79.50 chains respectively and from the points so estal)li^^hed lines were run west 

 astronomically to thq west boundary of the township and the north boundary 

 was run east astronomically to Dog Lake. It was noted that in running the 

 north boundary east to the lake, that the line produced coincided exactly with 

 that portion of the north l)oundary of the township east of Dog Lake. 



On several concession lines the widths of the odd numbered lots, with the 

 exception of lot twenty-three, were made 40.00 chains. The width of lot twenty- 

 three was established as explained above, the width being 43.95 chains. The 

 widths of the even num])ered lots were established l)y the intersection of the 

 side lines with the concession boundaries. The south boundary of the townsliip 

 was re-chained and lot corners were established thereon. 



Substantial wooden posts <oi size and timber specified were planted to mark 

 the angles of the lots. Bearing trees were marked and their position noted where 

 timber was available. As in many places all the timber had been burned off 

 many posts have no bearing trees. In most of these cases the posts were well 

 mounded with stones. Iron posts were marked and planted at the points indicated 

 on the projected plan accompanying your instructions.
