108 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



Appendix No. 39. 

 ' Township Line, Morley and Pattullo, District of Rainy River. 



Fort Frances, Ont., December 23rd, 1907. 



Sir, — I commenced work at an original post marking the corner of the 

 township of Morley, Pattullo, Shenstone and Tait, chaining thence west fol- 

 lowing the old line between the township of Morley and Pattullo. I 

 found, at the distances given in the original field notes, or very nearly so, 

 original bearing trees at one-quarter section thirty-six, one-quarter section 

 thirty-five, northeast section thirty-four, northeast section thirty-three, one- 

 quarter section thirty-three, northeast section thirty-two, one-quarter section 

 thirty-two; at one-quarter section thirty-five, and northeast section thirty- 

 two, also found the original posts, I renewed these old posts and planted new 

 posts at the correct positions for section and one-quarter sections, as far west 

 as one-quarter section thirty-two. I then proceeded to the post planted by 

 me in 1903, between sections thirty and thirty-one, Shenstone, and thence 

 chained west along the north boundaries of sections twenty-five, twenty-six, 

 twenty-seven and twenty-eight. I found original posts between sections 

 twenty-five and twenty-six, twenty-six and twenty-seven, at one-quarter sec- 

 tion twenty-seven, and between twenty-seven and twenty-eight. The dis- 

 tances given in the field notes I found to be entirely wrong, the errors being 

 as follows, actual chainage being : — 



Section twenty-five between posts four chains twenty-eight links too long. 



Section twenty-six between posts one chain four links too short. 



Section twenty-seven between posts twenty-seven links too long. 



Section twenty-eight from original post to intersection, three chains 

 seventy-seven links too short. 



I next proceeded to re-run the north and south lines, with the following 

 results : — East boundary, section thirty-five, re-ran this line north from 

 original post, found original bearing tree at one-quarter section, line pro- 

 duced could not be followed to township boundary; apparently the line had 

 been produced to within a short distance of the boundary and then stopped. 

 A short line two or three chains long runs south from where the original 

 post was. East boundary section thirty-four along Government Road to 

 township boundary. The west boundary of road, which apparently followed 

 the old line, strikes four chains two links west from correct position of orig- 

 inal post. 



Original cutting could be followed along the southerly part of the line, 

 but no blazes could be found, all fair sized trees having been used in road- 

 making. 



East boundary section thirty-three, re-ran north from original post at 

 southeast angle and found original bearing tree at one-quarter section, at 

 this point the line stops. 



The line to one-quarter section is in greeii timber, which extends to, 

 and past the boundary, and it is evident that no line was originally run 

 through, as had one been run some evidence would still have existed, a very 

 careful search was made, but no evidence of old axe work could be found. 



East boundary section thirty-two, re-ran line through from south and 

 found line in correct position running direct to original post, on north bound- 

 ary, found also original post and bearing tree at one-quarter section. 



Having run these lines I next proceeded to re-run the south boundaries 

 of sections twenty-five and twenty-six, chaining west from original post on 

 township boundary, I found as follows :
