G.ENTranrEN:—In accordance with instruc- tions received from your honorable body I have made an examination of the ditch cia drain commonly known as the oalud Creek' Dram" commencing at the line between. lots 11 and 12 1/1 the 10th concession in the Township of Stephen and. extending north- erly across lots 11 to 10 both inclusive in the 10th Con, of the Township of Stenhen and. from lot II South to lot 5 in con lo both in- clusive and from lot 5 oon, lo South through lots 4 con. 8 both inclusive con. ll lot 2o 5 B Stephen and eeross 10t 2o in the N Wry. con. of the Township of McGillivray ancl across lots 3, 4 awl 5 in clonal. In making an examination I find. that the dram above described.is for the most part in a very bad condition having filled in oonsia- enbbly since originally constructed and. be- ing altogether too small in capacity to con- vey the water from thalands above described an cl that flowing•trpon them from the higher lands aboveonuch. to the damage of adjoin - inn" lands and. roads. I • also iinO that in order to obtain a pro per outlet in the Township of McGillivray it -will also be necessary to deepen, widen and strengthen the creek from the present outlet across lots 3,4, and 5111 the 15th concession of the said Township and. tha t tno adjoining lands would be more or less improved. have made the necessary .survey of the above work and. have staked it onaand have taken. levels, commencing at the lino be- tween. lots II. and 12 in the 10th concession as shown on plan, hereto attached, tit acing stakes along edge of drain two ohains or eight rods apart and taking levels at same and in bottom of ditch, where no change in oourse is necessary throughout. • The stakes are numbered o, 2, 4, 6, eta,a11(1. the levels are taken on the ground. beside the same. In the assessment I have endeavoured to distinguish between the higher and. outlying lands and the adjacent and lower lands which will evidently receive the greater ben- efit. Tbe dotted. blue lines on plan attached show approximately the outhno of low or swamplands using the drain for outlet, ,_ In tho accompanying Profile the out in feet and decimals of a foot are shown at each sta- tion of 8 rods al4o the depth of earth to be taken from the bottom of the ditch which wia also require to be wiclaned somewhat. Where the drain passes through timbered lands tho trees to be felled and all logs and brushwood to be removed, so far from the edge of the ditch that none may be covered by the earth excavated. The earth to be throwe out 5 feet clear of the edges of the ditch'and so equallyas possible on both sides , of same and spread ,o a depth not exceeding 1 foot unless otherwise ordered by the En- gineer or Inspector in charge of the work.
