Appendix No. 2q. 



Pembroke, Ont., February 18th, 1921. 



Sir, — In accordance with instructions from your Department, dated the 

 12th of May, 1920, I have surveyed certain township outlines in the District 

 of Sudbury, and have the honour to report thereon as follows: 



I proceeded to Ridout Station on the Canadian Pacific Railway arriving 

 on the 13th of June, and spent a few days hiring men from various points, 

 finally on the 15th of June, with two O.L.S. assistants and a full party, I was 

 ready to proceed with the survey. 



The post from which I was instructed to commence my survey had become 

 obliterated, but after considerable searching I located the iron post in a cairn 

 of stone, planted by O.L.S. John McAree in 1902, on the south side of the 

 Canadian Pacific Railway right of way, marked "R" on the north side; XXII 

 on the east side, and XXIII on the west side. At this point I took an astro- 

 nomical observation from azimuth, and upon measuring north from this point 

 one chain and fifty-six and two-tenths links (1 ch. 56 2/10 Iks.), the distance shown 

 in McAree's field notes, across the Canadian Pacific Railway right of way, I located 

 a cairn of stone, but no post. At this point I planted a spruce post and then ran 

 my first meridian north astronomically between townships XXII and XXIII, 

 a distance of three miles, fifty-eight chains and twenty-six and six-tenths links 

 (3 m. 58 ch. 26 6/10 Iks.), where I planted an iron post in the prescribed manner 

 establishing the corner of townships of Tooms and Greenlaw, being the point 

 of commencement of my first base line, which I ran west between townships 

 XXIII and Tooms to the intersection of the northerly production of the line 

 run by Ontario Land Surveyor McAree in 1902 between townships XXIII and 

 XXIV, thus establishing the north-west angle of township XXIII and the 

 south-west angle of township of Tooms. From this point I ran north astro- 

 nomically between the townships of Tooms and XXIV to the intersection of the 

 south boundary of the township of Lackner. My first meridian was continued 

 north between townships of Tooms and Greenlaw, and my first base line was run 

 east along south boundary of Greenlaw a distance of six miles, where I established 

 the corner of Greenlaw, Cunningham, number XXI and number XXII, being 

 the point of commencement of my second meridian, and I continued my base 

 line along south boundary of Cunningham to intersection with Speight and van- 

 Nostrand's meridian at a point three chains and fifty-two links (3 ch. 52 Iks.) 

 north of his XII M.P. Returning to point of commencement of second meridian, 

 I ran north astronomically a distance of six miles, establishing corner of Green- 

 law, Denyes, Swayze and Cunningham, the point of commencement of my 

 second base line, and continued this meridian north between townships of Denyes 

 and Swayze. Returning to the second base line, I ran east astronomically 

 between the townships of Swayze and Cunningham to intersection with Speight 

 and vanNostrand's meridian at a point six chains and fifteen links (6 ch. 15 Iks.) 

 north of his XVIII M.P. I then ran west astronomically on my second base 

 line between the townships of Denyes and Greenlaw to intersection with my 

 first meridian, and continued west astronomically between the townships of 

 Halcrow and Tooms to intersection with the west boundary of the township 

 of Lackner. I then returned to my first meridian and produced it north between 

 the townships of Halcrow and Denyes to a point distant twelve miles from my 

 first base line, establishing the north-east angle of Halcrow and the north-west
