92 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



Appendipc No. JfO. 



Report of the Subdivision op the Village Plot of Waldhof, District of 



Kenora. 



Kenora, June 26th, 1911. 



Sir, — I left Kenora by morning train for Waldhof Siding, where I arrived 

 about noon. I engaged men for the following morning at $2.50 per day, including 

 board, and a chainman at $2.75 per day. Then I looked up posts and went to the 

 Bawmill to order sawn posts. I took the chainbearer with me. We found the trail 

 to the mill very wet and swampy. We took the colonization road back which in- 

 creased the distance, but was drier and better walking. 



On Thursday morning, the 8th, I ran northerly at right angles to the straight 

 part of the north boundary of the Canadian Pacific Railway; on this line at the 

 right distances I ran the boundaries of the streets easterly and westerly, parallel 

 to the straight part of the north boundary of the Canadian Pacific Railway, to 

 comply as nearly as possible, owing to the curve in the C. P. R., with the pro- 

 jected plan accompanying the instructions. 



The land ascends gradually from concession 1 towards the north. The soil 

 is sandy from southwest corner of lot 8 biit changes to sand and gravel to the 

 north and east. 



The timber is small jack pine from 4 inches to 6 inches in diameter, in places 

 scattered and not much underbrush, and if near a town or city would form ideal 

 outing or picnic grounds. 



I found no buildings on the lot except one intended for a blacksmith shop, 

 and another with the frame up. They are both south of the Canadian Pacific 

 Railway, and are both on West Street near lots 68 and 40. 



The men who were working with me expressed a wish to have some of the 

 lots set out for a park and athletic grounds, and mentioned the block bounded 

 by George and Grey and Edward and Beresford streets as very suitable. 



I found the posts at the south-west corner and at the intersection of the west 

 boundary with the north boundary of the Canadian Pacific Railway in position, 

 but those at the south-east corner are all gone, either burnt or removed with 

 material from the borrow pit. The posts at the south-west comer of 7 are also gone, 

 with material from the ballast pit. 



The only swampy land on the Town Plot is that mentioned in the township 

 field notes at the southwest comer of eight. Very little of it is on the lots. Robert 

 street takes nearly all of it. 



I did not give the subdivision a name. The whole of Waldhof Siding is on 

 lot 9, and no name was mentioned in the instructions. 



, I have the honour to be. 



Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



(Signed) Edmund Seager, 

 Ontario Land Surveyor. 



The Honourable, the Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, 

 Toronto.
