Survey of the Extension of the Townsite of Hearst, Township of 

 Kendall, District of Algoma. 



Cochrane, Ont., July 26th, 1921. 



Sir, — I have the honour to report that I have completed the survey of 

 Blocks "A" to "U," inclusive, and Lots 506 to 529 inclusive, between the sub- 

 divided portions of the townsite of Hearst, as outlined in your instructions to 

 me under date May 27th, 1921, and I herewith enclose certified copy of field 

 notes of said survey; also full expense accounts and other returns necessary for 

 your department. 



Under separate cover, I am forwarding by registered mail a plan on tracing 

 linen, giving the measurements and bearings of the south and west limits of 

 of Blocks "A" to "U," and the measurements along the front of each of the 

 town lots 506 to 529 inclusive, said plan being on a scale of three chains to an 

 inch, and duly signed and certified to by me, as required under the Survey Act. 



Owing to the change in direction of the East and West streets, which occurs 

 between 7th and 8th Streets, it has been necessary to re-survey lots 500 to 503 

 inclusive, and slightly alter the frontage of said lots in order to have the new 

 survey conform with the previous subdivision, the axis of the change of direc- 

 tion running somewhat diagonally from the north-east angle of lot 503 to near 

 the south-west angle of lot 500. 



I have placed iron posts at the several corners of the Blocks, and also at 

 the front angles of the lots 506 to 529 inclusive, as outlined on the plan which 

 accompanied your instructions, with the following exceptions: 

 North-east corner Block "S." 

 South-east corner Block "J." 

 South-east corner Block "F." 

 Wooden posts, 2" x 2" were placed at the above three corners, as the number 

 of iron posts expressed to me was not suflficient to post all the corners shown 

 on plan. 



All iron posts were marked with a cold chisel, as directed, by placing the 

 letter "R" on the side of the post adjoining the road, and the block number 

 letter on the side adjacent to the block. 



The numbers 506 to 529, inclusive, were marked on the lot angle posts 

 planted. 



I accepted, as a basis for the above survey, the line between two iron posts 

 in the north limit of George Street, one being at the south-east angle of lot 

 226 and a second at the south-east angle of lot 210. 



Owing to the almost complete disappearance of all original posts of the 

 ormer subdivision, no definite check could be made at the junction of the 

 new survey with the old, as only a few isolated posts are visible on the ground 

 within the settled area of the town, and those are by no means to be relied on 

 as evidence. 



The total expense of the survey, as certified by the accompanying accounts, 

 amounts to $875.30, out of which sum I have received advances amounting to 

 $555.00, leaving a balance to the credit of my account of $320.30.
