.100 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



Guide posts were planted on the south and north boundaries marked 

 "R" on the side facing the township, and lot numbers on the east and west 

 sides, excepting at the intersection of centre lines of road allowances where 

 posts were marked "E," on the east and west sides, and on the side facing 

 the township, the lot posts being off-set to their proper position and marked 

 "E," on the side facing the road allowance, the concession number on the 

 opposite side and the lot number on the east and west sides. 



At the intersection of the centre line of road allowances between con- 

 cessions with the east and west boundaries, posts were marked "R" on the 

 north and south sides and on the west or east side facing the township. 

 x\t the intersection of side road allowances with concession road allowances 

 posts were planted at the lot corners, marked "R" on the sides facing the 

 road allowances, lot numbers on the east or west side and concession numbers 

 on the north or south side as the occasion demanded, while, one marked 

 "R" on four sides was placed at the intersection of the centre lines. 



Where lot corners were broken by lakes the position of the posts were 

 located by off-sets, etc., and posts were planted in accordance with instruc- 

 tions at the edge of the road allowance around the lake, guide posts being 

 also planted. In all cases posts were made of the most durable wood avail- 

 able and firmly planted, bearing trees being marked for lot posts only and 

 recorded in the field notes. 



I planted iron posts one and seven-eighths inches in diameter alongside 

 the wooden posts at the southeast and southwest angles of the township, 

 marking the former "Neely" on the northeast side, "McCowan" on the north- 

 west side, and "R" on the north, south, east and west sides, while the latter 

 was marked "McCowan" on the northeast side, "Eilber" on the northwest 

 side, and "R" on the north, south, east and west sides. 



I planted iron bars one and one-quarter inches in diameter on the centre 

 line of road allowance between lots twelve and thirteen at the following 

 places, "viz.," at its intersection with the south boundary, marked "R" on 

 the north, east and west sides ; at its intersection with the centre line of road 

 allowance between concessions six and seven, marked "R" on north, south, 

 east and west sides; and at its intersection with the north boundary marked 

 "R" on the east, south and west sides. I also planted an iron bar one and 

 one-quarter inches in diameter at the intersection of the centre line of the 

 road allowance between concessions six and seven with the west boundary, 

 marked "R" on the south, east, and north sides. 



The iron bar at the northeast angle of the township is marked "R" on 

 the east, "Neely" on the southeast, "R" on the south, "McCowan" on the 

 southwest, and "R" on the west side, while the bar at the northwest angle 

 is marked "R" on the east, ''McCowan" on the southeast, "R" on the 

 south, "Eiber" on the southwest, and "R" on the west side. 



Observations for azimuth were frequently taken to check the bearings of 

 the lines. The magnetic variation was found to be about six degrees and* fif- 

 teen minutes west. 



There are a few small lakes or ponds scattered through the township 

 with one fair sized lake on lots thirteen, fourteen, fifteen and sixteen, con- 

 cessions eight and nine. 



The township is well supplied with water, small creeks being numerous, 

 the majority of which join, and from a stream about half a chain wide, and 

 from two to four feet in depth, which crosses the east boundary near the 

 line between concessions one and two, and which will form a good outlet for 

 drainage.
