78 EEPORT OF THE No. 3 



was started north and one mile run. This meridian line forming the west bound- 

 ary of the township was firrt run and the concession lines were turned therefrom 

 and run eastward. 



On account of all the concession lines having been run eastward it was 

 thought advisable and proper to make the even numbered lots the exact forty 

 chains, and any deficiency or surplus thrown into the odd numbered lots. 



The concession line between concessions one and two was used as the base line 

 from which to turn the angles for the sides lines running north and south. 



All the traverse work was done on the ice and no triangulations made except- 

 ing the first few days at the beginning of the work. 



Iron Posts. 



An iron tube post, one and seven-eighth inches in diameter, was planted by me 

 at the north-west angle of the township and marked "lot XVI." on the east side, 

 " TJmbach " on the south-east side and '' Con. V*I." on the south side, and also at 

 the north-east angle of township, or more particularly where the north boundary of 

 the tovniship intersects the waters of Winnipeg Kiver immediately west of Indian 

 Keserve No. 38 C, and was marked lot " 1 " on the west side, " Umbach *' on the 

 south-west side and " Con. VI.'' on the south side. Also the one found at the 

 south-west corner of the township was marked by me *' Con. I " on the north side, 

 " Umbach on the north-east side and " lot XVI.'' on the east side. 



Smaller iron posts one and one-quarter inches in diameter were planted: — 



1. At the south boundary of the township on the line between lots six and 

 seven and marked " lot VI." on the east side, " Lot VII.'' on the west side, and 

 " Con. 1 " on the north side. 



2. At the intersection of the lines between lots six and seven and concessions 

 three and four and marked " lot III." on the east side, " lot IV.'' on the west side, 

 " Con. III." on the south side and " Con. IV.'" on the north side. 



3. At the north boundary of the township between lots six and seven, and 

 marked " lot III.'' on the east side, " lot IV." on the west side, and " Con. VI." on 

 the south side. 



At the west boundary of the township between concessions three and four, and 

 marked " lot XVI.'' on the east side, " Con. III." on the south side, and " Con. 

 IV," on the north side. 



5. At the eastern extremity of said line between concessions three and four 

 and marked " lot 1 '' on the west side, " Con. III.'' on the east side, and " Con. 

 IV." on the north side. 



Thus for the permanency of the survey five small and two large iron tube 

 posts were planted in addition to the one found and marked, at the south-west 

 comer of township, which post also marks the north-west jsorner of the township 

 of Pellatt. 



This township is very rocky, broken and hilly, with numerous lakes and small 

 streams of good water. 



There are a few sections of good agricultural land along the south and west 

 boundaries, and already there are a number of lots taken. 



Islands. 



The islands are all rough and rocky, covered with spruce and balsam, and are 

 useless for anything excepting the timber that is on them, and even that has been 

 all cut off south and east of " the narrows " in lot three, concession four.
