124 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



road allowance posts (mostly of spruce) were planted fifty links on each side, 

 north and^ south of the centre line of the concession road allowance. The 

 lot numbers are marked on the east and west sides of the posts. The con- 

 cession numbers are marked on the side of the posts facing the concessions, 

 while on the other side, facing the road allowance, the letter "R" is marked. 

 Posts are also planted on the centre lines marked on the east and west sides 

 with the lot numbers, and on the north and south sides with the letter "R." 



At the intersection of the centre lines of the diiferent concession road 

 allowances with the centre line of the side road allowances posts are planted, 

 marked "R" on all four sides, also posts are planted at the four lot corners 

 formed by the intersection of the road allowances. These posts are marked 

 "R" on the two sides facing the road allowance, having the lot numbers on 

 the side facing the lots and the concession numbers on the sides facing the 

 concessions. Nearly all the posts planted are four inch square spruce posts. 

 Those at the end of the concessions are five inches square, and those at the 

 corners of the township are six inches square. 



I planted an iron post one and one-quarter inch in diameter at the inter- 

 section of the south boundary with the centre line of road allowance between 

 lots numbers twelve and thirteen, marked "Con. I., Kennedy" on the north 

 side, "Lot 13" on the west side, "12" on east side, and "R" on south side, 

 also planted an iron post one and one-quarter inch in diameter at the inter- 

 section of road allowance between concessions six and seven with the east 

 boundary, marked "Kennedy" on west side, "Con. VI." on south side, 

 "Con. VII." on north side, "R" on four sides, also a similar post at the 

 intersection of this line with the west boundary marked "VI." on south side, 

 "VII." on north side, "Kennedy" on east side. I also planted an iron post 

 one and one-quarter inch in diameter at the intersection of the centre lines 

 of the concession road allowance between concessions six and seven and the 

 side road allowance between lots numbers twelve and thirteen, marked six 

 on south side, seven on north side, twelve on east side and thirteen on west 

 side. On the north boundary, at its intersection with the east boundary, 

 I planted an iron post, one and seven-eighths inch in diameter, marked 

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

 also a similar post at its intersection with the west boundary marked "R" 

 on east, west, north and south sides, and "Kennedy" on southeast side. Where 

 the north boundary is intersected by the centre line of road allowance between 

 lots numbers twelve and thirteen I planted an iron post one and one-fourth 

 inch in diameter marked "Kennedy" on south side, "12" on east side, "13" 

 on west side. I marked the word "Kennedy" on the northeast side of the 

 one and seven-eighth inch iron post planted by Ontario Land Surveyor 

 Speight and marked "IX. Miles" which marks the southwest corner of 

 Kennedy township. I also marked "Kennedj" on the northwest side of the 

 one and seven-eighth inch iron post, planted by Ontario Land Surveyor 

 Speight, marked "XVIII. Miles," which marks the southeast corner of 

 Kennedy township, 



I made a traverse survey (by stadia) of the Abitibi river, a plan of 

 which accompanies my field notes. 



Timber. 



The greater part of the township is timbered with small spruce averag- 

 ing from four to eight inches in diameter. On the higher land, there are 

 about equal quantities of spruce, white birch, poplar and balsam, averag- 

 ing from four to fourteen inches in diameter.
