The report. gives statistical ile- tailii of geodetic and other control -points, geographical stations and hi-drographic monuments.

All supplementary geodetic sta- tions as well as all geogflvhical stations consist of church st)!"-"v light houses. stand pines. etc. 10 tie in these points it is necessary to triangulate from suitable loca- tions along the traverse lines. The base of the triangle is the distance between the traverse locations and the apex being the light house or other land mark required to be tied in.

The hydrographic monuments are concrete posts planted at suit- able locationa along the banks of bays or rivers. These serve as con- trol points for oyster lease sur- veys.

The report notes that oyster leases ilocated by Federal agen- cies) were nct laid out by the

maznetic north of the year 1764 but according to a meredian of 63” W. of Greenwich established by aatronomical observations. surveys of the National Park areas are re- ferred to the same meredian.

- I Division Lines

The eatabiiahing of division lines is emphasized aa a vary important. feature of the survey work. In the majority of cases the rear area of farms in covered with trees in va-

rious stages of growth. In the pro- cess of obtaining imostly in win- ter) firewood and lumber for the coming season blazed trees are eventually cut down and survey lines obliterated and lost.

The report notes that many dis- putes have arisen due to rear!:nes being obliterated. Obviously most disputes occur where there is a deficiency of land. Such a. case occurred some years ago. A man

.'bought a mill property with con-

siderable land attached. He im- mediately had the side lines run out according to the distances

given in his deed. When a line was run across the back it on- closed I. strip of excellent timber which he proceeded to cut down and haul to his mill. When his neighibour across the line discov- ered what was going on. be im- mediately look legal action. A surveyor was sent out from Charlottetown and after three weeks' research on the ground and in the Registry Office. a line was established from a known point on the division line a suf- ficient distance to cross the area in dispute. This line indicated consideralble trespass for which the mill owner had to pay ex- tensive damages.

A subsequent survey of this line with modern methods shotied that the trespass was not as great as the first survey indicated. A division line was adjusted in the

vicinity of Fort Augustus. This involved a number of fa rnis fronting on the Fort Aiigustus

Road. the deeds of which gave a length of one hundred chains for each line.

From evidence on the gi'o:iiiil. such as old fences. stone d.i'k(-5. czvltivated land. etc, the Lnes were adijud-ged one and one quar- ter chains too long. The division line was adjusted on the basis of this extra length.

A farm lying across the rear of these far-inis still contained an ex- cess of fourteen acres.

Hayihorne Line

Some work was done on the so- called Haytihorne Line. This line extends north and south, abo:i: four miles across Lot 40. It was originally the boundary line be- tween the Haythorne estate on the west and Cunard property on the east.

By connecting with this line from the Provincial survey at two widely separated points am calculating the co-ordinates at these points the azimuth of the line was readily obtained. The line was then run up past the disputed area.

Other requests for the adjust- ment ol rear lines are being re- ceived. Many of these will have to be put ollf till the summer. This also has its drawbacks as farmers are then busy on the land and prefer to forget about wood land boundaries till the wiii.cr season comes around again.

other survey:

A survey was commenced in the Johnstons River marsh area during the first part of the win- ter.

For this work it was necessary to wait. till the area was frozen over. An outline traverse was made using a transit and a 300 foot chain. Land lines were tied in with this traverse. Stadia measurements are being used to tie in intermediate points such as pot holes. edge of marsh. etc.

Many requests for the survey of farm lines are being received during the winter season. This is due to the great demand for pulp wood. Urafortiinately, due :0 a reduced staff. prevalence of "flu." short hours of daylight and bad weather. it has been impos- sible to keep up with the re- quests.

A survey was made at a prop- erty ndjoining the National Park and also for a place of land ad- joining the fish rearing ponds at Cardigan. Plans were made in connection with all surveys and in all cues descriptions were ne- cessary. - .

Private surveys were made in all ports of the Province. These were carefully made with transit and gteei tape and. wherever pos- sible. tied in to the Prvvliicinii

lurvey. It is noted that whereas the charge for a surveyor in this

Province an been act at 010 per day. the charge in most other Provinces is 5 per dly Flux raaaoniiio olponaee.

V FOR. VICTORY

"Spring is he-re." A minor tone In the fife-like whistle and the downward slurred notes make the Meadoiwlark's song definitely sad. Nevertheless, the sweet, clear voice. which tells us that winter is over and t.hc migrants are re- turning. gives ua a real thrill. Few songsters have as yet been heard. Patches of snow are still in the hollows of the field that has been aprpropriatcd. There may be a big tree or two, fence posts frciin which to sing. and a gurg- ling brook to supply bathing and drinking water.

This is one of the easiest birds

to rccogiiize either by sound or by sight. Once heard. the song is lunmistziikaible: and whether you lgeba front or a rear view, the notices are as plain as those of a. road sign. Should the Meadow- lark be perched on its favouirte Ipost. IaClllf.' you. the large. black V on a yellow breast is the dis- 'Ilil;'llll5I'l1ll;.' mark. Us-ually, how- fcvcr, the bird is aware of your lapproricli. its fluttering. retreat- ing flighit draws your attention. Iancl you are presented with a a broad, brown tail. with a wide band of white on either side.

Not often are you given the chance of observing how low is the brow. and that the stripes on the hcad'ai'-e rc-minis nt of the White-throated Sparrow. But this bird is bigger: a little larger than a.
