88 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



timber; along the line between lots 2 and 3, Concesion XI, and between Conces- 

 sions X and XI, Lots 2, 3 and 4, I found some fine cedar, some going two feet 

 in diameter. 



Under the head of soil I beg leave to say that the northerly half with the 

 exception of rocky and stony places, the land iseems to be good but not first 

 class; the southerly half is broken by muskegs and low wet swamps, but a great 

 deal of the land will be good for cultivation and all the low land with the excep- 

 tion of a strip along Black Bay can be easily drained. 



The weather was very wet and foggy while doing this work; it rained every 

 day on the work with the exception of ten. 



The Canadian Northern Railway parallels the Canadian Pacific for ;iiost of 

 the way through this territory, and the cutting of the right of way was in progress 

 while making this survey. 



I have the honour to be. 



Sir, 



Your obedient servant,

Ontario Land Surveyor.

SUEVEY OF THE ToWN PLOT OF ReDDITT, DISTRICT OF RaINY RiVER. 



Toronto, March 20th, 1911. 



giE I have the honour to report that in accordance with instructions from 



your Department dated 13th July, 1910, directing me to lay out a townsite at 

 Redditt Station on the National Transcontinental Railway in the township of 

 Redditt into building lots, I proceeded to that place from Sioux Lookout on the 

 evening of the 14th of July, arriving there on the afternoon of the 15th, and after 

 locating my camp on the south side of Basket Lake and Black River commenced 

 the survey as soon as possible thereafter. 



I may say that I laid out all the ground on Lot 5 in the 5th and 6th con- 

 cessions of Redditt that J considered fit for building lots, and also a few lots upon 

 lot 6 concession 6 on the north side of the railway grounds. The lots were laid 

 out 66 feet wide and 150 feet deep as a rule and made to suit the contour of the 



ground as nearly as possible. _. . , x =. • 



I found a man named Leon Baitly living on the south-east part ot lot 5 m 

 concession 6 who had made certain improvements in clearing and building and 

 claimed to be located for the lot. A memo of these improvements has already 



been sent to your Department. ^ x, m v + i t? -i^o^, 



I also found the offices of the engineers of the Transcontinental Railway 



located on the central part of lot 5, concession 4, but did not interfere with them
