66 EEPOET OF THE No. 3 



of the township was run south astronomically a distance of nearly 9 miles, being 

 run to the intersection with th,e south boundary of the Township of KendaH as 

 laid down by O.L.S. Dobie. From this intersection the south boundary was 

 run west 9 miles, and then the west boundary was run north astronomically as 

 far as the south boundary of the Hth concession. From this point the line was 

 swung a few minutes in azimuth to close in on the previously established south 

 west angle of the Township of Kendall. 



The Mattawishquia Eiver was traversed as was also a portion of the Cuckoo 

 Creek and two small lakes occurring within the township. 



Posts were planted according to instructions on the various intersections 

 of the lot lines with the road allowances along the Algoma Central Eailway and 

 National Transcontinental Eailway right of way. All lots along the several Con- 

 cession lines were also posted at their front angles. On all such posts were 

 carved the word "Con." and the Concession number on the north or south face 

 as the case might demand and the numbers of the adjacent lots on the east and 

 west faces. Posts were planted on the actual transit lines to mark these offsetted 

 posts. These guide posts were carved "E" on the north and south faces, and the 

 numbers of the adjacent lots on the east and west faces. Bearing trees were 

 carved and noted in relation to all posts planted save the last mentioned guide 

 posts. 



Iron posts were planted in the following positions: — 



1. In the east boundary of the township in the centre of the road allowance 

 between concessions 6 and 7 marked "E" on all sides. 



2. At the south east angle of the township in the centre of the road allowance 

 and marked ''Kendall" on thje north east face, "Way" on the north west face, 

 "Lowther' on the south west face and "E^' on each face. 



3. In the south boundary of the township in the centre of the road allowance 

 between lots 12 and 13 and marked "E" on each face. 



4. At the south west angle of the township in the centre of the road allowance 

 marked "E" on each face, "Way" on the north east face and "Lowther" on the 

 south east face. 



5. In the west boundary of the township in the centre of the road allowance 

 between concessions 10 and 11, marked "E" on each face. 



6. In the centre of the road allowance between lots 12 and 13 and concessions 

 6 and 7, marked "E" on each face. 



7. The iron posts planted by O.L.S. Speight at the north east and north 

 west angles of the township are in the centres of the road allowances about the 

 township and were carved "Way" and "E" in the former case on the south west 

 face and in the latter on the south east face. 



Our party suffered considerably in the matter of accidents. A number of 

 our very best men being laid up through severe cuts. Eain also materially retarded 

 our progress and our records show somewhat over 40 actual days of rain while 

 on the survey. Because of this, astronomical observations were of necessity rather 

 limited in number, but such were taken at every possible opportunity. 



Geneeal Features. 



The country emibraced by this survey is traversed in an easterly and westerly 

 direction by the Mattawishquia Eiver and in a north easterly direction by the 

 Algoma Central Eailway which forms a junction with the Transcontinental Eail- 

 way in the northerly part of the township. The T. 0. E. runs in a north westerly
