68 EEPOET OF THE Xo. 3 



Water Power. 



Two " falls occur on Bad Eiver, which averages from two chains to three 

 chains in width, and is a very shallow stream full of boulders and almost con- 

 tinuous small rapids. It is impassible with an empty canoe, at low water. The 

 upper fall is situate on Lot 15, Concession VIII, and has a fall of twelve and a 

 half feet, which could be raised to about eighteen feet by a five and a half foot 

 dam, three hundred and fifty feet, more or less, long, across the crest. This would 

 flood the water back to Lot 31, Concession VIII, and flood a strip five or six 

 chains wide. The lower fall is situate on Lot 15, Concession X, and is twelve feet 

 high, and could be raised to seventeen or eighteen feet, by a six foot dam, about 

 one hundred and fifty feet long, across the crest of the fall. This would flood the 

 water back about twenty chains on Lot 15, Concession IX, and flood an area about 

 seven chains in width. 



At the natural head the upper fall at low water would give 287 h.p., and the 

 lower fall 276 h.p. 



With a head raised to eighteen feet, which could be easily obtained, each fall 

 would give 414 h.p. 



At both falls the bottom is solid and the lower fall could be developed as above 

 outlined at considerably less expense than the upper fall. 



Xo possible storage basin of any capacity occurs in the township. 



General Remarks. 



The gently undulating surface of this township gives facilities for easy drain- 

 age by means of the Bad and Trout Rivers, and the depth of the river valleys 

 aft'ords opportunity for draining even the low lying lands. 



Any small islands marked on Bad River are simply exposed areas of bald 

 rock or gravel and form part of the river bed. 



Those parts of the township which have been burnt over will require the 

 minimum of effort for clearing and preparing for agriculture. 



Provision seems to have been made for two railway stations within the Town- 

 ship of Mulloy, and this fact should prove attractive to prospective settlers. 



We estimate that about sixty-five per cent, of the township may be classed as 

 good farm land. 



Accompanying this report are a general plan, a timber plan, field notes of the 

 entire survey, also account in triplicate. 



We have the honour to be.
