84 EEPORT OF THE No. 3 



I will, per"haps, he pardoned for giving my opinion on what might be called 

 the legal aspect of the question of title involved. I did not, however, consider that 

 my report or plan would be complete and of use to your Department, without 

 doing so. 



All of which is respectfully submitted. 



I have the honor to be. Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



(Signed) J. W. Fitzgerald, 



Ontario Land Surveyor. 



The Honourable the Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, 

 Toronto, Ont. 



Appendix S3. 



Re-Suevey of Cache Lake^ Township of Canisbay, Algonquin National 



Park. 



Toronto, 29th May, 1913^. 



Sir, — ^We have the honour to submit the following report on the re-survey of 

 Cache Lake, in the township of Canisbay, Algonquin National Park, under in- 

 structions from your Department bearing date 22nd January, 1913. 



Immediately upon receipt of the instructions, arrangements were begun by 

 correspondence with the parties referred to therein, and our party left here in 

 charge of Mr. Ealph Mackenzie Anderson, O.L.S., a member of our firm, on 8th 

 February. The work, involving a traverse of the whole shore of the lake and of 

 the islands therein, was begun at once and prosecuted steadily, in accordance with 

 instructions, until completed on 26th February. 



In nearly all cases the lot angles sought were found to be defined by original 

 posts or bearing trees. Wherever necessary, new posts were planted at the lot 

 corners and shown as renewed in the accompanying field notes, but where the 

 original cedar posts remained in good condition, they were left undisturbed. The 

 intersections of all lot lines with the road allowance around the shore of the lake 

 were marked with iron posts, and bearing trees were blazed and noted. All lines 

 surveyed were well opened out and blazed. 



The limits of lands already leased, wherever they intersected the shore line, 

 were defined by posts and the lines opened out. The descriptions in some of these 

 leases are somewhat at variance wiijh the facts, owing chiefly to the insufficiency of 

 data on record in the Department. 



The part of Crown lease Number 1,816 lying south of the Grand Trunk 

 Railway right of way is not shown on the blueprint furnished us with sufficient 

 data to admit of its boundaries being actually defined on the ground, and in the 

 absence of a writtwi description from the lease, we were unable to define its 

 limits.
