Appendix No. 28. 

 Survey of Township Outlines, Disthiot op Nipissing. 



Almonte, Dec. 5th, 1911. 



Sir, — I beg to submit the following report on the survey of township outlines 

 in the territory east and west of the township of Maisonville in the District of Nipiss- 

 ing, performed under instructions dated May 27th, 1911. I outfitted at Sudbury 

 and North Bay, and on the 22nd of June, commenced the survey at the north-west 

 angle of the Township of Otto, from which pomt the line between the Townships 

 of Teck and Grenfell was run due north 6 M. 3.65 chains to the southerly limit of 

 the Township of Maisonville; then from the south-east angle of the Township of 

 Maisonville the line between the Townships of Bernhardt and Teck was run east 

 astronomically (six mile chords) to the westerly boundary of the Township of Jjebel. 

 Having completed the above two township boundary lines the survey was continued 

 by starting from the south-west angle of the Township of Maisonville, and running 

 west astronomically (six mile chords) a distance of eighteen miles (18 M.). Prom 

 the sixth and twelfth miles on the above mentioned first base line, meridian lines 

 were run south to the northerly boundary of the Township of Holmes 6 M. 3.47 

 chain^; to the northerly boundary produced westerly of the Township of Holmes, 

 6 M. 4.15 chains and northerly to the southerly limit of the Townships of Playfair 

 and McCann. A second base line eighteen miles long was run west astronomically 

 (six mile chords) from the north-west angle of the Township of Maisonville; and 

 the last line, viz : — between the Townships of Melba and Bernhardt — was commenced 

 at the north-east angle of the Township of Maisonville and run east astronomically 

 (six mile chords) 5 M. 71.89 chains, to intersection with O.E.S. Newman's meridian 

 line run in 1907. 



The above lines were well cleared and the adjacent trees blazea in the usual 

 manner. Wooden posts of the most durable material available properly and dis- 

 tinctly marked, were placed where possible at the even miles (6 in. square) and 

 half miles (4 in. sq.) from the southerly and easterly extremities of the above 

 lines; when these points came in the water the posts were planted on the shore 

 nearest the even mile or half mile as the case might be, with its chainage in 

 miles, chains and decimals, marked on the proper face of the post. The mile posts 

 were marked with Roman numerals and the half-mile posts were marked with 

 Arabic numerals. 



Every post was planted firmly and when possible a cairn of stones was built 

 around it to render it more permanent, and bearing trees were marked and 

 noted in the field notes. 



Iron bars marked with the names of the adjacent townships were placed 

 alongside the wooden posts at the following points, viz. : 



The north-west corner of Teck. 



The north-east corner of Teck. 



The south-east corner of Dunmore. 



The south-west corner of Dunmore. 



The north-west corner of Sheba. 



The north-west corner of Nordica. 



The intersection of Bompas, Dunmore, Lee and Terry.
