98 EEPORT OF THE No. 3 



Road No. 4. 



This road extends east through the centre of the Township of Glackmeyer be- 

 tween Concessions 6 and 7, commencing on the old boundary between the Districts 

 of Nipissing and Algoma, as described under Eoad No. 3, a distance of 8 miles, 

 to the west bank of the Abitibi Kiver on Lot 3, Glackmeyer. 



Previous to my commencing work on this road, two miles had been partially 

 cut out and about % mile corduroyed; which corduroy, however, during the fire of 

 1911 was partially destroyed. The road has been widened and graded and the 

 crosslay that was burnt renewed, and over a mile of additional crosslay laid. The 

 road was cut out the full width of 6'3 feet and grubbed the usual width of 26 feet 

 in the centre for a distance of 5y2 miles, and the balance, 2^ miles, has been cut 

 out and grubbed. Two bridges have been constructed, one at the head of Lilla- 

 belle Lake on Lot 24, and one across Brule Creek on Lot 12 The ungraded 

 portion is in good condition for winter travel. The portion graded has been well 

 drained. 



The land along this road is first class, well timbered; the soil, a clay or clay 

 loam; every lot has been settled upon and in several instances from 10 to 30 acres 

 cleared. Very little waste land was met with. 



$8,800 was expended on this road. 



Road No. 5. 



Constructed west across the centre of the Townships of Clute and Calder, 

 between Concessions 6 and 7, a distance of 18 miles. The first 2% miles west to 

 the east bank of the Frederickhouse Eiver has been well graded and ditched, 

 although in some places the timber still requires to be burned off. This portion 

 was performed under contract by E. Pauze at $1,500 per mile. The work has 

 not yet been taken off the contractor's hands, as in some places it was found on 

 examination that the drainage is not complete. This will be completed by the 

 contractor as soon as the weather conditions are favorable. 



$3,800 has been advanced on this contract. 



Crossing to the west bank of the Frederickhouse River the road was con- 

 tinued west along the centre line of the townships to the road allowance between 

 Lots 12 and 13 in the Township of Calder, a distance of IO14 miles. It was cut 

 out the full width of 66 feet, the centre part 26 feet well grubbed, and with the 

 excepti6n of the burning of the timber, is now -ready for grading. Part of it has 

 been crosslayed and several .culverts constructed. This work was performed by 

 day labor at a cost of $600 per mile or $6,150. 



Still continuing west on this road from the side-road between Lots 12 and 13, 

 a contract was let for the cutting out of the road the full width of 66 feet and the 

 grubbing of the centre portion 26 feet to the west boundary of the township, a 

 further distance of 5 miles, at $650 per mile. The cutting and grubbing, and part 

 of the burning off has been done, and $2,750 paid on account of the contract, leaving 

 a balance of $500 still to be paid as soon as the timber is burned off. The total 

 amount expended on the three sections of road No. 5 being $12,700. 



This road across both the townships of Clute and Calder passes through a 

 good agricultural country; no rock exposures, sand or gravel were encountered. A 

 few semi-muskegs were met with and no land not capable of being thoroughly 

 drained at a reasonable cost. The chief timber found is spruce up to 16 inches.
