LONDON, ONT., Au .17th, 1898.:
To the Reeve and Council. of the Township
of Stephen in session assembled..
GENTLEMEN:—In aoeordanae with laetrile -
tions received from. your honorable body^ I
have made an examination of the ditch or
drain commonly known as the "Mud Creek
Drain" commencing at the line betwee±
lots 11 and 12 in the 10th concession in the
Township of Stephen and extending north-
erly across lots 11 to 15 both inclusive in the
loth' Con, of the Township of Stephen and
from lot 11 South to lot 5 in eon lo both in
elusive and from lot 5 con, to South throught.
lots 4coxi.3both. inclnsivecon.11lot 20 S B'
Stephen and across lot 20 in the N Bdry.'
oou. of the Township. of McGillivray and
across lots 3, 4 and 5 in con.11.
In making an examination T find that the
drain above described is for the re ost part in
a very bad condition having filled in consid-
erably since. originally constructed and be-
ing altogether too small in capacity to con-
vey the water from thelands above described
and thatflowing upon them from the higher
lands above; much to the damage of adjoin-
ing lands and roads:
1also find "that iu order to obtn,n a proper
outlet in the Township of MoGileivray it
will also be necessary to deepen, widen and
strengthen the creek from the present outlet
across lots 3, 4, and 5 in the 15th concession
of the said Township ane thatthe adjoining
lands would be more or less improved.
I have Made the necessary ,survey of the
above work and have sta ked it out and have
taken levels, commencing at the line be-
tween lots 11 and 12 in the 10th concession
as shown on plan, hereto attached, placing
stakes along edge of drain two chains . or
eight rods apart and taking levels at same
and in bottom of ditch, where no change in
course is necessary throughout. The stakes
are numbered o, 2, 4, 6, etc.. and 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 evidentlylreoeive the greater ben-
efit. ^
The dotted blue lines on plan attached
show approximately the outline of low or
swamplands using the drain for outlet,
In the accomDenying 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
will also require to be widened somewhat.
Where the drain passes through timbered
lands the trees to be felled and alliogs and.
brushwood to be removed so far from the
edge of the ditch that none may be covered
es the earth exoavated. The earth'to be
thrown out 8 feet clear of the edges of the
ditch and so equally as possible on both sides
of same. and spread 5o a depth not exceeding
i foot unless. otherwise ordered byy. the En-
gineer or Insppeotorin charge of the work.
Whenever the drain leaves the old channel
of Creek at. any crooked place for the ,pur-
pose of straightening the same and inn nrov-
ing the flow of water, the earth excavated to
be cast upon the side on which the. old chan-
nel lips and whenever practicable the Con-
tractor should dump. the earth into the same
Proper openings to be made in spoil bank
at all low runs and at sulfioeat intervals
throughout.
I °etimate the cost of the above proposed
work as follows:
Excavating 14266 cub, yds. at 13o. $1854.58
