160 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



Sound northerly in the direction of Magnetawan, and the expenditure in the 

 Districts of Muskoka and Parry Sound was practically all on the roads referred to. 



Work on the Pembroke-Sault Ste. Marie Road was better organized than 

 ever before, the maintenance patrols performing eflfective work, while the 

 construction parties on the gap between Mattawa and Chalk River opened up 

 approximately fourteen miles which makes it very probable that during the 

 season of 1923 the gap will be removed and the road graded all the way. Exten- 

 sive betterments and improvements were made on the sections between 

 North Bay and Sudbury and between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie, the whole 

 road being maintained in very fair condition. 



Surveys were commenced in the fall with a view to the location of a road 

 to connect Temiskaming District with the roads in Southern Ontario and the 

 survey parties are still engaged on the work. 



The work on the Latchford-Cochrane Trunk Road, progressed very satis- 

 factorily, the section connecting Swastika, and the Kirkland Lake gold area

with the Cobalt silver camp being advanced so near completion that it will 

 only be a short time until vehicular traffic can move over the entire road without 

 difficulty. Seven miles of the previously unopened portion lying immediately 

 south of Cochrane was cut out, and many miles of gravelling done on the already 

 opened portions. 



On the Porquis Junction-Timmins Road, a distance of about three miles 

 was cut out and about six miles graded, and the heavily travelled section between 

 South Porcupine and Timmins was maintained in fair condition and consider- 

 ably improved. 



In addition to the foregoing the following roads in the Temiskaming District, 

 received considerable attention: — North Cobalt to South Lorrain, Milberta 

 to Elk Lake, Elk Lake to Gowganda, Englehart to Charlton and Elk Lake, 

 vSwastika to Kirkland Lake and extension into Lebel and Gauthier townships, 

 Dane to Larder Lake, Boston Creek to Skead Township, Boston Creek to Round 

 Lake, Kirkland Lake to Goodfish, Lightning River Road through townships
