Road No. 22. 



A road along the town line between the townships of Walker and Taylor was 

 constructed from the railway east to the township of Carr, a distance of 3 miles. 

 The road was well cut out and gru'bbed, but not burnt, at a cost of $1,900. The 

 road passes througJi a fairly good country, on which a fair beginning has been 

 made by settlers. 



Boad No. 23. 



On the town line between the townships of Taylor and Carr, a road was cut 

 out and grubbed ready for grading, with the exception of the burning. The road 

 is situate across the 3rd and 4th Concessions, a distance of 2 miles in length. 



$1,200 was expended on this road. 



The land adjacent to this road is very fine; the soil a rich clay loam. On Lot 

 1, Taylor, and Lot 12, Carr, Concession 3, there are large clearings. Forty bushels 

 of fall wheat per acre were grown on Lot 1, and, notwithstanding the backward 

 season, ripened. Timothy, clover, and vegetables of all kinds matured, equal to 

 any produced in Old Ontario under more favorable conditions. 



Eoad No. 24. 



The road between the townships of Bowman and Currie, across the 6th, 5th, 

 and 4th Concessions, was cut out and grubbed in the usual way, and is now ready 

 for grading, except the burning. The total distance is 4 miles, performed at a cost 

 of $2,8GS.16. 



This road passes through a fairly good agricultural country. The road crosses 

 the AVay-tay-beg Eiver, over which a bridge with a span of 70 feet has been con- 

 structed. 



Road No. 25. 



A road was constructed through the townships of Hislop and Bowman from 

 the Temiskaming and i^orthern Ontario Eailway south across part of the 5th, the 

 4t]i, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st Concessions, and between the townships of Hislop and Play- 

 fair across Lots 1 to 13 inclusive, a distance of 6I/2 miles, or in all a total distance 

 of 11 miles; and a substantial wooden bridge with a span of 43 feet constructed 

 across the Black River on Lot 4, south boundary of Hislop, and the approaches 

 to the bridge cut down; 20 culverts built on the town line between Hislop and 

 Bowman, and the road cross-laid in places. This work was done at a cost of 

 $9,311.23'. 



The road passes through a good agricultural country, part of which has, 

 within the last seven years, been burned over and easily cleared. The country is 

 rolling, and near the Black Eiver and tributary streams it is broken by clay ridges 

 and a few rock outcrops. The bridge is one of two across the Black River, the 

 other being at Matheson, and will give access to a large section of agricultural land, 

 east of the river, not yet settled on. 



Road No. 26. 



A road was built on the town line between the townships of Carr and Beatty 

 across the 1st to 6th Concession inclusive, a distance of 6 miles. This road was
