of Devlin; thence north one mile to the north-east corner of section 29, Town- 

 ship of Devlin; thence west 7 miles to the north-east corner of section 30, Town- 

 ship of Lash ; thence south half a mile to the village of Emo. This road has all 

 been graded and well ditched from Fort Frances to Emo. Between these towns, 

 3^ miles of new road were cut out, graded and ditched. The remainder followed 

 the old road which in many places was so narrow that two teams could barely 

 pass. These ditches had to be reconstructed. 



Along this road twelve and a half miles of ditches and two and a half 

 miles of tap drain were dug. Fifty-four culverts and a pile bridge sixty-one 

 feet in length across the La Vallee River at La Vallee, were built. Seven and a 

 quarter miles of this road were surfaced with gravel. The remainder of the 

 gravelling was left to be completed after the freeze-up when the work could be 

 done at less cost, as the roads in the fall were very wet and would cut up badly
