Making 383 rods of crossway at 10 shillings -
191 pounds 10 shillings.
Also in 1836, for opening the road from
Bayfield to Goderieh, a distance of 13 3/4
miles they were given approval•,,of the
following:
For opening the road - 227 pounds 8 shillings
For making 873 '/2 rods of crossway 441
pounds 16 shillings 4 pence
For 2 bridges - 8 pounds 17 shillings.
As with the one from Hick's, the Govern-
ment of Upper Canada allowed the Canada
Company to deduct these amounts, in 1838,
from the Huron Tract Improvement Fund.
. When the Township was,surveyed, all lots,
roads and concessions were outlined. It
must be remembered that while all roads
were staked, with the proof line being the
centre of the road, or side road, all the roads
were not `opened'. Further, this is the only
Township in the Huron Tract to be set out in
80 acre lots, and this makes the roads dif-
ferent than those 100 acre Townships. In
1827 the original survey party' had spent a
month t the westerly limit of the survey
trate,- during this time had surveyed
•nor'lh into Horton or Colborne, Goderich
Tov rnship South to Bayfield and as far as the
Aux Sables River. These surveys went
straight through without any consideration
of river or lake banks. All Township roads
were surveyed 66 feet wide and were laid out
due north and south for concession roads
and due east and west for side roads. The
notable exceptions to this were:
(1) the Maitland road which started at
Goderich and followed the various windings
of the river Maitland until it ended at what is
now Huron County Road No. 8 between lots
59 and 60 in the Maitland Concession;
(2) the Bayfield Line which started at the
