From a point on the Sudbury and Murray Mine trunk road about one mile 

 west of Murray Mine towards Larchwood on the trunk road, part of the road 

 should be surfaced with stone or gravel. In places the soil is a heavy clay, and in 

 the wet seasons it will be difticult for heavy traffic to pass over it. The road, 

 liowever, has been well ditched and graded, the grades modified, the road widened 

 and good substantial culverts constructed where required. 



Sudbury and Blezard Valley Trunk Road : 



From a point about two miles north of Sudbury, a trunk road was constructed 

 northerly into the Blezard Valley, which is a continuation of. the Chelmsford Valley 

 above mentioned. The work began on the line between Lots 4 and 5, Concession 



Sudbury, Murray Mines and Chelmsford Stone Road, between Sudbury and Murray Mines. - 



6, McKim, and continued northerly, passing the Stobie Mine, Mount Nickel Mine 

 and Blezard Mine. For the first six miles, the road passes through a country 

 which is broken in places, with rocky ridges which required a good deal of rock 

 cutting and filling to improve the grades. Beyond that point, a fine agricultural 

 country is entered. The road was completed for a distance of 91/^ miles, termin- 

 ating on the line between Concessions 1 and 2, between Lots 6 and 7, Township 

 of Hanmer. Numerous culverts and small bridges had to be renewed on this road 

 and deep drains constructed. The road is now in firsb class condition, but owing 

 to the large amount of traffic which will pass over it from the settlement in the 

 Valley, parts of it require to be surfaced with gravel or rock. 



Froud Mine Road : 



From a point on the Sudbury and Blezard Valley trunk road about two miles 

 north of the Town of Sudbury, a road to the Froud Mine having a length of 1%
