104 EEPORT OF THE No. 3 



Road No. 10. ^ 



The boundary between the Townships of Glackmeyer and Blount, across part 

 of Lot 15 and across Lots 16 to 28 inclusive, a distance of 4^/2 miles, has been cut 

 out the usual width of 66 feet and the centre 26 feet grubbed; the timber has not, 

 however, been burned off. The eastern mile was let by contract to E., Pauze at 

 $650 per mile for the cutting, grubbing and burning. $300 has been advanced on 

 his contract. A contract for the balance of the road across Lots 19 to 28 was let 

 to F. ISTault for cutting, grubbing and burning at $650 per mile. Mr. Nault has 

 completed his contract with the exception of burning off the timber and has been 

 paid $1,787.50 on account. 



The land along this road is very fine, well drained by the Abitibi River and 

 small tributary streams. There are several settlers located along this road who 

 have started small clearings. 



Boad No. 11. 



The road between Lots 12 and 13 across the 1st to the 6th Concession in the 

 Township of Glackmeyer, a distance of 4% miles, has been cut out the ifull 

 width — 66 feet — ^grubbed the usual width but not yet burned off. Two bridges 

 across the Brule or Brower Creek on Concession 2 have been constructed and con- 

 siderable corduroy laid. 



The amount expended on this road is $3,664.34. 



There is no broken or waste land along this road although part of it is flat and 

 will require considerable ditching. 



Road No. 12. , i? i 



The road between Lots 24 and 25 across Concessions 1, 2 and 3 in the Town- 

 ship of Kennedy has been cut out the full width, grubbed and ready for grading, 

 with the exception of the burning of the timber. It was found impracticable to 

 construct the road along the boundary line between the Townships of Kennedy and 

 Glackmeyer across these three Concessions, inasmuch as an expensive bridge would 

 be required across the Abitibi River on Concession 3. It is proposed to extend 

 this road % of a mile further north and then jog west on the line between Con- 

 cessions 4 and 5 to the boundary, thence north along the boundary. This road, 

 which has a length of 214 miles, was cut out and grubbed at a cost of $1,525.00. 



The road passes through a good agricultural country. 



Road No. 13. 



The road between Lots 8 and 9 in the Township of Lamarche, across Con- 

 cessions 2 to 6 inclusive, a distance of 5 miles, has been cut out the usual width and 

 grubbed. Across Concession 6 for one mile the road has been well graded and 

 well ditched, and a bridge constructed across Lamarche Creek on Concession 4. A 

 large drain was constructed on each side of the road across the 6th Concession 

 through a large spruce and tamarac swamp. These ditches will serve to drain the 

 town of Cochrane and a large area surrounding it. The land in part of the 6th 

 Concession is very swampy, with, however, sufficient fall for good drainage. The 

 balance of the road is through fairly good ag^ricultural land until the 1st Con- 

 cession is met where the land is again swampy. Every lot on this road has been 

 located on and fair progress is being made by the locaters. 



On this road there was expended $4,450.
