No. 3 



north of the right of way of said railway, crossing the Vermilion River and passing 

 through the Village of Larchwood on the townline between the Townships of 

 Balfour and Bowling; and still continuing westerly to the line between Concessions 

 3 and 4, Township of Dowling, thence west along said Concession line, across Lots 

 2, 3, and 4, thence south between Lots 4 and 5 to the Canadian Pacific Railway, in 

 all a distance of 21 miles from Sudbury. 



From Azilda west and north, the land is in most instances clay or clay loam, 

 and in places sandy loam, fairly level, with that class of land extending for miles 

 to the north and south of the road. A large portion of the country is cleared and 

 under cultivation. All the good agricultural land has been settled upon, and fair 

 sized clearings made. In many instances large clearings, with nrst-class buildings, 

 are met with throughout this valley.

Azilda Trunk Road : 



From a point on the Sudbury and Murray Mine Road half a mile east of 

 Azilda Station, a road 'was constructed north into the Blezard Valley between Lots 

 2 and 3, Township of Rayside, across Concessions 1 to 5, inclusive, a distance of 

 434 miles, to the line between Concessions 5 and 6, Township of Rayside: thence 

 west between the said Concessions one mile, and east four miles to the line between 

 Lots 7 and 8, Township of Blezard. This road was well ditched and graded. It 

 passes through a first-class agricultural country; and gives to the settlers a good 

 outlet to the markets at Murray Mine, Copper Cliff or Sudbury. It was intended 

 to have extended this road further north for four miles to the Vermilion River, as 

 the country still continues good and well settled. But owing to the lateness of the 

 season, it was found impossihle to continue the work. '
