In order to get an outlet to the townships to the north-western part of the 

 town of Cochrane, part of Third Avenue, part of Seventh Street, and part of 

 Second Avenue had to be graded : in all a distance of 1,600 feet. Four hundred

No. 69. ... 



The Driftwood River, a tributary of the Black River, flowing through the 

 townships of Walker, part of Clergue, Taylor and Stock, was cleared of driftwood 

 so as to enable the settlers in these townships to navigate the river in the summer 

 season in small boats and to enable them also to drive their- pulpwood to the Abitibi 

 Pulp Mills at Iroquois Falls on the Abitibi River. The river, as its name implies, 

 Was full of 'driftwood at several points, log jams having been formed through 

 which it was impossible to drive logs or navigate boats.
