YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 1014. Department of Public Works, Canada, Ottawa, November 30, 1914. Honourable Robert Rogers, Minister of Public Works, Ottawa, Ont. Siu, — I have the honour to submit the report of the operations of the Department of Public Works, under its various branches, for the fiscal year ended March 31, last. EXPENDITURE. The total expenditure incurred by the department during the year 1913-14 amounted to $27,991,336.94, and may be detailed as follows: — Harbours and rivers $ 7,696,135 37 Dredging and plant 6,228,302 79 Slides and booms 167,434 62 Roads and bridges 130,628 21 Public buildings 12,397,464 67 Telegraphs 768,378 33 Miscellaneous 602,992 95 $27,991,336 94 The increase over last year's outlay, which was $18,844,223.90, amounts to $9,147,113.04; mid as was the case in the preceding year, the expenditure on Public Buildings is the chief item, the increase under this heading amounting to nearly five million dollars. There is also a substantial increase in Harbour and River works of about three and three-quarter million dollars, while Dredging has increased compara- tively little over the previous year. 4 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS i 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 REVENUE. The total revenue for the year which amounted to $542,457.11, was gathered from the following sources: — ■ Slides and booms $ 76,883 22 < J raving docks 61,489 80 Rents 113,670 15 Telegraphs 253,112 27 Casual revenue 37,301 67 $542,457 11 While the aggregate revenue shows a considerable increase — almost $55,000 in excess of that of the preceding fiscal year — there has been a material slump in the receipts from Slides and Booms which, last year, attained the sum of $110,108.34. This is accounted for in the Ottawa and St. Maurice Districts by low water, which prevented the usual number of logs being driven; and on the Saguenay by the fact that the pulp companies bring most of their logs by rail now, instead of down trie river as formerly. The large increase in rents is chiefly attributable to the rentals received from the Toronto General Post Office site, which amounted to over $21,000. There has also seer, a considerable increase in revenue from the Wellington street properties in Ottawa. A substantial increase of over $37,000 is noted in the Telegraph revenue. This is explained chiefly by the additional mileage of Government telegraph constructed and the correspondingly increased return therefrom. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. The expenditure of the Chief Architect's Branch amounted to $12,397,464.67, which comprises the outlay not only on new buildings but the maintenance and improvement of those already constructed, which number at the present time three hundred and nineteen. There are also about forty new buildings that, it is expected, will be ready for occupation inside of a year.

The size and cost of the buildings, which it has become necessary to erect in the more important cities of the various provinces, is as truly indicative as any trade statement could be of the rapid growth of Canadian business. In a number of cases, public buildings have had to be either greatly enlarged or entirely replaced : and this, as might be expected, is particularly true of Western Canadian buildings which have been erected within comparatively recent years although at the time, it was anticipated, they would adequately provide for all Dominion services for a considerable period of time. The introduction of the letter carrier system and, quite recently, of rural mail delivery, has necessitated a vast increase in the working space of post offices. In our larger cities where it has been found impossible to accommodate the growing volume of business in one building, it has been deemed expedient to erect what are known as " postal .stations." or branch post offices, which become the centres of newly organized mail carrier routes and discharge all the postal functions for the particular section of the city in which they are situated. In many cities the sortation of mail matter is now carried on at, or near, the railway stations; and in Winnipeg, Toronto, and Montreal the erection of large railway postal stations is in contempla- tion. In Toronto, it was originally intended to erect the railway postal station on Front street, on the property at the corner of Bay, recently expropriated from the city, but an arrangement with the Toronto Terminals Railway Company is in contemplation, whereby the eastern wing of the new Union station building will be owned by the Government and utilized as a railway postal station. NEW DEPARTMENTAL BUILDINGS COMPETITION. This competition was open to architects who were British subjects and practising in the British Empire. The conditions and instructions governing the submission of designs were prepared by Messrs. T. E. Collcutt, London, England ; J. H. G. Russell. Winnipeg, Man., and J. O. Marchand, Montreal, Que., and the reception of the prelim- inary designs was fixed for April 2. 1014. The competition was widely advertised, with the result that a large number of designs were received. There were sixty-two com- petitors and exclusive of the six successful ones whose names have not yet been announced, one was from South Africa, two were from Australia, twenty-one from Great Britain and thirty-two from Canada. i REPORT OF THE Hl.fl TV MINISTER 7 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 The department is to be congratulated on the uniform excellence of the plan- submitted. There were few which did not show careful, exhaustive study and a fine quality of draughtsmanship. As called for by the terms of the competition, the asses- sors met and judged the different designs, finally choosing therefrom six which appeared to them to possess the greatest number of excellent points. The plans of the unsuccessful competitors were thereafter returned to them with a note of thanks and appreciation for having taken part in the competition. It was the intention originally to also have the six successful designs returned at once to their authors to be elaborated and resubmitted for final judgment, but it was finally decided to await the report of the Federal Plan Commission of Ottawa and Hull before proceeding further. The need for new departmental buildings at the seat of Government is steadily increasing, however, as time goes on. The buildings at present projected are intended to provide an office area of five hundred thousand square feet and already there is space under rental in excess of that amount. Including the additions made within recent years to both the East and West Blocks and the reconstruction of the Mines building on Sussex street, the office space afforded in Government-owned buildings in Ottawa aggregates only four hundred and four thousand and twenty-eight square feet, while the rented space totals five hundred and ninety-six thousand four hundred and ninety-eight square feet. The new build- ings could therefore be filled to overflowing were they in existence at the present time. NATIONAL ART GALLERY. With the discriminating purchases made during recent years by the Advisory Art Council and the trustees of the National Gallery, that institution now possesses a well chosen collection of paintings and other works of art which is proving not only of interest to the general public but of great value to art students; a most valuable feature being the addition of excellently coloured reproductions of the world's most famous paintings. The innovation of throwing open the gallery from two o'clock to five o'clock during the winter months, on Sunday afternoons, has met with the most cordial response. Before the Sunday opening of the gallery <'ii December 7, 1913, the average weekly attendance was six hundred and nineteen. Since that time it has been one thousand nine hundred and thirty-nine; the number of visitors on one Sunday, namely. March 1, having risen to more than one thousand five hundred people. A number of important steps have been taken by the trustees during the past year to further the encouragement of art in Canada. After conference with the committee of the Royal Canadian Academy, it was decided that the National Gallery could best encourage Canadian artists by the purchase of as many of their meritorious works as possible; and, by loaning these as well as other objects of art, owned by the Gallery, to duly accredited or authorized art or other public bodies for the purpose of public exhibition and instruction, promote not only purchase by individuals but also the formation of public art bodies and societies throughout the Dominion. An annual travelling scholarship of one thousand dollars will also be instituted to be awarded to the most promising art student of the year. The committee of the Royal Canadian 8 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS i 5 GEORGE V.. A. 1915 Academy will arrange the details and award the scholarship, subject to the approval of the trustees. This will assist the successful person in pursuing his studies in the most famous European art centres. HARBOURS AND RIVERS. The department's expenditure under this heading amounted to the sum of $7,696,135.37, as compared with $3,921,000.85 during the preceding fiscal year. The following works were completed during the year: — Nova Scotia. — New wharves at East Ship Harbour, Lower Prospect, Marion Bridge, Port Clyde, Terrance Bay, Victoria Bridge, Walton, West Dover, and Western Shore; and breakwaters at Carrs Brook, Feltzen South, French River, Little Bras d'Or and Seal Island. Prince Edward Island. — Wharves at French River, Franklin Point, and St. Peter's Bay. New Brunswick. — Wharves at Albert, Bass River, Fairhaven, Fredericton, Goose- berry Cove, Little Lameque, Lorneville, Quaco, Evandale, Upper Maugerville, Brund- ages Point, Spinney's Cove, Stonehaven, and Upper Derby. Quebec. — Wharves at Anse a Simon, Cbicoutimi Basin, Fort Coulonge, Lalaucette, North Guigues, Pointe a Elie, Ruisseau a la Loutre, St. Antoine, St. Antoine Station, Ste. Felicite, Ste. Victoire, Ville Marie; a breakwater at Ruisseau Leblanc and a pier at Gaspe Basin. Ontario. — Wharves at Ancona, Beaumaris, Belle Ewart, Big Bay Point, Bolicay- geon, Cache Bay, Helens Bay, Kawartha Park, La Passe, Lorraine, Monetville, Orillia, Quarry Bay, and Rainy River. British Columbia. — Wharves at Argenta, Barnston Island, Beaton, Belmont, Bold Point, Canoe Creek, Clam Bay, Crofton, Deep Cove, East Arrow Park, Gabriola Island, Gorge Harbour, Granthams Lauding, Grey Creek, Halletts, Invermere, Lockport. McMurdo, Minnekahda, Nelson Road. Okanagan Mission, Pender Harbour, Point Cowan, Queenston, Renata, Retreat Cove, Roberts Bay, Rocky Point, Rays Beach, Ruskin, Seymour Arm, Shoal Bay, Shelter Point. South Creek Flats, Squamish, Summerland, Ucluelet, West Demers, Willow Point, Windermere, and Wolfson Bay. Satisfactory progress has been made with the large contracts for works in public harbours to which reference was made in the last report, and no new contracts have been let for works of first importance. The improvements which have been carried out in the grain handling ports of the Dominion have produced gratifying results in the increase of the quantity of grain shipped. The most striking of these are Port Arthur and Fort William, from which ports was shipped during the season of navigation of 101" the immense quantity of 205.265,303 bushels of grain. The total elevator storage for these two ports has now reached 43,290,000 bushels. The quantity of grain shipped from St. John, N.B.. for the winter season, Nvember 1. 191". to "March 31. 1914. amounted to 769,918 bushels. During the winter of 1914-15, the new Canadian Pacific i REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 9 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 Railway grain elevator on the west side will be in operation; and the Government has constructed a line of conveyors enabling vessels to be served at Berths 5 and 6, in the S:md Point Slip. These additional facilities should result in materially increasing grain shipments from this port during the coming winter season. During the calendar year 1913, the total grain exported from Montreal amounted to 40,372,283 bushels, of which 6,742,268 bushels were from the United States. GEORGIAN BAY CANAL COMMISSION, Following the survey which was carried out during the years 1904 to 1907, of the proposed ship canal from the Georgian bay to Montreal, which demonstrated the physical possibility of a twenty-two foot waterway between these points, the ('<>vern- nieiit has decided, on the recommendation of the Minister of Public Works, that the project should also be made the subject of a careful and thorough inquiry from the view-point of the commercial facilities and public advantages to be derived from such a national undertaking. With that object, under the authority of an Order in Council dated March 16, 1914, a Royal Commission was appointed, composed of Messrs. W. Sanford Evans, of Winnipeg, chairman; Frank S. Meighen, of Montreal, and Edouard Gohier, of Montreal. A copy of the Order in Council will be found elsewhere in this volume. It sets forth at some length the various transportation, industrial and com- mercial aspects of the project which, it is desired, the commission should carefully study and report upon. Information of a statistical character in regard to the large variety of subjects which come within the scope of the commission's investigation^ is now being collected and compiled by the staff; and as soon as this work is completed and the data so gathered carefully arranged and studied, it is the intention of the commission to hold public sittings throughout the Dominion at which the evidence of men prominently connected with the industrial, commercial and transportation interests of the country will bo taken. DREDGING. The dredging operations of the Department during the year under review have entailed an expenditure of $6,228,302.79 of which $571,272.35 were expended on the construction of departmental plant; $445,208.58 on repairs; $1,348,483.38 on the operation of the departmental fleet, and the balance — $3,S63,338.48 on contract dredg- ing. The most important works were carried on at the following places, where an expenditure of $10,000 or more was made: — Nova Scotia.^ Arnolds Cove, Cheticamp, Digby, Lakevale, Little Bras d'Or, Little Lorraine, Liverpool, Lockeport, Mill Cove, North Sydney, Port Mulgrave, Trenton, and Weymouth. Prince Edward Island. — Charlottetown, Montague, Tignish, and Vernon River. New Brunswick. — Bathurst, Buctouche, Campbellton, Fredericton, Miramichi Bay, Oromocto Shoals, Richibucto, St. Andrews, St. George, St. John Harbour, St. Stephen and Shippegan Gully. 19— i— 2 10 DEPARTMEXT OF PUBLIC WORKS i 5 GEORGE V..

Aiuaguadees's pond (Castle bay),- Cape Breton county, is on the northern side of East bay, the eastern arm of the Great Bras d'Or lake. The works consists of a block and span wharf with creosoted timber substructure, 192 feet long and 20 feet wide, extending to 14 feet at low lake level, with a warehouse thereon, H> by 16 feet, for the storing of goods shipped and landed by the ss. Blue HiV. which, during the season, calls here fortnightly and makes connections with the Inter- colonial railway at Grand Narrows. 19— iv— 11 i 4 DEPARTMENT OP PI HI. If WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 The department also e d a bridge 100 feet long, including approach, and 20 feet wide across the outlet of the pond, and a road to connect the wharf with the ic road, about half a mile in length During the year 1913-14, the sum of $300 was expended by day labour in repair- ad improving the road leading from the wharf to the public road. AMHERST. Amherst harbour is situated at the head of Chignecto bay, near the mouth of the LaPlance river, about 2i miles from Amherst town. The town of Amherst, Cumberland county, is probably the most important, prosperous, and thriving industrial town in the province of Nova Scotia. It is a manufacturing centre of considerable magnitude, and efficient water transportation would consequently much augment its future advance- ment. Its population exceeds 12,000. In the year 1904, a pile wharf was constructed, which consisted of a stem running from the dyke to the edge of the channel, 249 feet in length, with a width of 36 feet, and a wharf proper, which began at the outer end of this stem and ran seaward a distance of 300 feet along the inner edge of the channel. This wharf proper was 50 feet wide, and had a common height of 44 feet at its outer face, being 28 feet high on its inner In the fiscal year 1907-8, another wharf was constructed, situated about 350 feet farther up the stream than the old work. This second pier is 360 feet in length, 64 feet wide, and has a height at its outer face of 28 feet. It is constructed of pile trestle bents, eet apart, whilst the piles in these bents are distant from each other 7i feet measured between centres. The front of this work and the end are close-piled. During the present fiscal year, the sum of $4,000 was voted for the purpose of removing the old pier, and the sum of $10,000 was likewise voted for the purpose of extending pier No. 2 a further distance of 250 feet up stream. During the present fiscal year, a contract for the extension was let to the Maple Leaf Lumber Company, Limited, of Amherst, amounting to $16,444. As it was very ate in the season when this contract was let, the work will be proceeded with during the first part of the fiscal year 1914-15. During the present fiscal year, the sum of $2,599.95 was expended in tearing down and removing pier Ni>. 1. The work was of a very protracted nature, but was very satis- factorily performed. Work was commenced June 9. 1913, and completed on January 31. 1914. Spring tides rises to feet; neap, :'.:; feet. Dredging. The entrance to this harbour is contracted, and it was deemed necessary to eat ofi a corner of the point at the said entrance; this section was estimated to contain in all 12,000 cubic yards, place measurement. A contract was entered into with Mr. E. B. Reid, of St. John, for the removal of this work in the fiscal year 1911-12. In that year, however, conditions were such that it was impossible to proceed witli the work. During the fiscal year 1912-13, 8,652 cubic yards, scow measurement, were removed. This was equivalent to 7,460 cubic yards. During the past fiscal year, 4,000 cubic yards were removed, and an extra 1,970 cubic yards were removed from the berths at the wharf. The work of removing the spoil at the berths was commenced on April 7, 191:1, and finished April 19, 1913. The other work, that of completion of Mr. Rcid's contract, amounting to the removal of 4,000 cubic yards of spoil, was begun on May 28, 1913, and "'•mpleted July 30, 1913. The length of tow averaged about 1J mile. The material con^st-a of a mixture of clay and mud, and whilst the top 2 or 3 feet were easy of removal, the balance was of such a consistency that it resisted the attacks of the bucket, so that in many instances it had to be loosed by means of dynamite. Further operations in connection with this port are, I understand, to be taken up by the department itself, with their own plant. Spring tides rise here 40 feet; neap, 33 feet. iv REPORT OP THE CHIEF ENGINEER 5 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 Anderson's i o\ e. Anderson's Cove, Annapolis county, is n very slight indentation in the coast line, on the south side of the Bay of Fundy, 16 miles east of Digby Gut, 2 miles east of Litchfield, and 5 miles west of Parker's cove. The settlement, which is called Hills- burn, comprises, within a radius of a mile, about 150 people, dependent almost exclu- sively on the fisheries for a living. In order to afford some measure of protection and shelter for the fishing boats, which were often broken or destroyed for lack of shelter, the department, 1905-6, began the construction of a breakwater, which was extended in 1906-7, in 1908-9, 1909-lK. 1911-12, and again in 1912-13. In 1912-13, the sum of $2,999.59 was expended in completing the extension, 42 feet long, built in 1911-12, and in the construction of a further extension, 60 feet long, 26 feet wide, and from 20 to 25 feet high. (Full particulars of the expenditure ami extensions, etc.. will be found in the departmental reports for 1911-12.) In 1013-14, the sum of $2,000 was expended in building 264 running feet of break on the seaward side of the breakwater, and sheathing the same distance. A hole under- neath the middle of the length of the work, which was made by a severe storm in January. 1913, was filled with timber, brush and stone. The whole breakwater is now 414 feet long, 26 feet wide, and from 7 to 25 feet high, substantially . built of native timber cribwork, full tendered, and ballasted. Spring tides rise about 28 feet. ANNAPOLIS ROYAL. Annapolis Royal, Annapolis county, is the oldest town in the province of Nova Scotia, having been founded in 1605. It is beautifully situated at the head of Anna- polis basin, and on the south side of the Annapolis river. It has a population of about 2,000, and is in the centre of one of the most fertile districts of Nova Scotia. In 1905-6, the department expended $9,346.22 in building a landing pier on the -ite of a very ancient one. (For particulars see annual report, 1909-KJ.) In 1913-14, the sum of $241.43 was expended in general and miscellaneous repairs to the upper portion of the pier, including flooring and guard timbers, and the n - placing of four fenders that bad been broken by vessels. ICE PIERS. In 1907-8, the department began the construction of a line of ice piers acr iss il. river, about a quarter of a mile above the town wharf, with the object of preventing ce from drifting down and endangering shipping. The expenditure in that year being $12,942,59, for the purchase of creosoted timber. On the lSth of May, 1909, a contract for the construction of the first three piers on the Annapolis side of the river was signed by the Nova Scotia Construction Company, of Sydney. N.S., for the sum of $46,736. The contract was completed in August, 1910. In March, 1911, a contract was awarded to E. R. Reid for the sum of $37,300, the construction of piers 4 and 5, which were completed on the 17th of August, 1912. On the 11th of October, 1913, a contract was entered into with Messrs. Archibald and Reid, for the construction of piers Nos. 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, to complete the serie,-. The amount of the contract was $34,700. Operations were begun on the 29th of September, 1913, and the last of the concrete was completed on the 7th of January last. Before the end of that month, the riprap was placed around the bases of the pier> for their protection against ice and scour, and the moulds were removed. Those piers are all of the same type of construction. In height they are from 35 to '■< feet, the upper 27 feet being in every case of concrete, or from ."> feet above low 6 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 r to 5 feet above high water. (Spring tides rise 27 feet.) The lower portion of - Nos. 1 to 5, inclusive, is constructed of creosoted square timber, filled with - ast. Piers Nos. 6 to 10, re, are of concrete from bottom to top. Tin I is ach pier is protected all around by a talus of riprap. The corners of each pier are 1 by birch sheathing and boiler plate. All the piers, except No. 6. are r< ilar in section, from 8 to 13 feet wide on top, and 27 feet long. Pier No. 6 is agonal in section at base, moulding to the circular form for the upper 20 feet. 1 'wing to the great range of tide and alternating velocity of nearly 9 feet per second, the work was carried on under considerable difficulty. ANTIGONISH i.wium:. Antigonisb Landing is at the head of Antigonish harbour about one and one-half miles, by road, from the town of Antigonish. Prior to Confederation, a small wharf was constructed at what is known as the " Landing." An approach 290 feet in length, with a small culvert, was built, and some improvements were made by dredging. During the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $992.95 was expended in constructing a wharf at the old site, and in reconstructing the road and culvert. The wharf is 40 feet in width and 36 feet in length, including 2S feet of cribwork and an S-foot pile exten- sion. Depth at extreme lew water at the outer end is 3 feet. Spring tide- rise I feet. Total expenditure to March 31, 1914. $992.95. ARICHAT. Arichat, the shire-town of Richmond county, is situated on the northern shore of Arichat harbour, on the southern side of Madame island. The harbour, which is spacious, is well sheltered by outlying islands, and has two entrances, of which the western, although only about 000 feet in width, is the easiest to make; the southern entrance is about 1,800 feet wide, but it lies between shoals. On July 13, 1910, a contract was entered into for the construction of a wharf and warehouse thereon, for the sum of $16,176, and the work of construction was com- ced on September 23, 1910, and was completed on September 8, 1911. The work consists of a stone approach, 131 feet long and 30 feet wide; of a block and .-pan wharf. 144 feet long and 30 feet wide with an " L," also consisting of block and span work, 90 feet long and 50 feet wide, and of a warehouse SO feet long and 25 feet wide, placed on the " L." The channel face of the wharf has a length of 120 feet. with a depth of 19 feet at low water, and the blocks, which consist of round timber crib- work, have creosoted timber substructure. During 1912-13. the sum of $589.59 was expended in procuring all the necessary materials for a stone and concrete retaining wall in front of the Government property, and in the construction of 40 lineal feet of it. and during 1913-14. the sum of $293.49 was expended h\ day labour in the construction of a further length of 40 lineal feet of work. ARISATG. Arisaig, Antigonish county, is en the southeastern shore of Northumberland -trait. about 15 miles southwest from Cape George. The works at this place consist of a pier on the northern and a breakwater en the ithern side of a small cove. The pier, commenced prior to Confederation, and i ttded and improved by the department, is 524 feet long and is made up of an proach of brush and stone 117 feet long, an embankment within stone retaining wall-. feet long, protected on both sides by a stone talus, an.

In 1912-13, the sum of $1,565.74 was expended in cutting down, to low water, and rebuilding with creosoted substructure, 80 feet of the outer face of the pier, 20 feet in width and 10 feet in average depth. During 1913-14, the sum of $1,105.36 was expended in repairing damaged portions of the wharf and in strengthening the structure to render it fit to take the proper exten- sion ; the sum of $785.86 in procuring 300 cubic yards of large field stone ballast, and the sum of $343.68 for the round and square native timber needed for the extension. Arnold's cove. Arnold's Cove, Halifax County, is situated on the eastern side of Jeddore harbour, 4 miles below Oyster Pond and 45 miles east of Halifax. It is used by the fishermen as a place of shelter in stormy weather. Under contract with the Nova Scotia Dredging Company, formerly Alfred Hefleur, •dredging was done to a depth of 9 feet to provide safe anchorage for fishing boats. A total of 44,605 cubic yards, scow measurement, was removed at a cost of 29 cents per yard, of sand and mud, and the work was done between June, 1913, and January, 1914. Total cost of completed work was $12,935.45. AVON PORT. Avonport, Kings county, is a small farming village with a population of about 250, situated on the left or south side of the river Avon, near its mouth, and on the D. A. Ry., 12 miles northwest from Windsor, the county town of Hants. Some two or three millions of bricks are annually made here and shipped. A small wharf of cribwork was built here before Confederation, 300 feet long, 22 to 25 feet wide on top, and 17 feet high at the outer end, which is dry at L.W.O.S.T. Spring tides rise about 45 feet. Since the department took this work over, about 1880, it lias had numerous small expenditures in repairs and renewals, of which particulars will be found in the depart- mental reports for 1908-10. In 1912-13, the sum of $2,000 was expended in building an extension to the wharf. The new block being 36 feet long, on the upper side, 42 feet on the lower side, about 40 feet wide, and from 17 to 19 feet high. Miscellaneous repairs were also made to the older portion of the work, including 54 feet in length of close sheathing. In 1913-14, the sum of $300 was expended in emergent repairs to the wharf, con- sisting of the following items: 25 new fenders, several stringers and upper logs were placed, 100 feet in length on the north side were re-ballasted, and a small quantity of new flooring was laid. AVON RIVER. Avon river, Hants county, is an important river flowing into the Basin of Minas. A little below tin- bridge spanning the river a1 Windsor, the county town, in the fiscal year 1012-13, the department expended the sum of $2,028.94 to protect the western bank of the river. The work done consists of a brush protection work 1,500 feet long, built in sections 50 to 100 feet in length by 25 feet in width and 20 feet deep. Opposite the Government wharf, an additional block was placed, measuring 100 feet in length, 50 in width and 3 feet in depth. The work appears to lie fulfilling the purpose for which it was intended. The brush was put down in sections 2 feet deep; this, after two or three 8 DEPARTMEXT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 tide9, was covered with mud to a depth of 2 feet, when another layer of brush was added, and so on until a depth of 20 feet was filled in. In the fiscal year 1913-14 the sum of $2,973 was expended in further building of brush protection work 1,600 feet long and from 50 to 200 feet wide. This brush was laid in layers of 25 feet in width and 3 feet in height at low tide; alter this was covered with mud deposited by the tide, other layers of brush followed until a height of from 10 to 20 feet was reached. Work was begun in August and completed October 14, 1913. BADDKl K. Baddeck, the shire-town of Victoria county, is on the northern shore of the Little- Bras d'Or lake, near the entrance of St. Patrick's channel. During 1907-8, a wharf 284 feet in length and extending to 18 feet at low lake level, was constructed by the department. It consists of a road approach 64 feet in length and 30 feet in width; of cribwork with creosoted timber substructure, 50 feet long and 4S feet wide; of a creosoted timber pile extension, 170 feet long and 40 feet wide; with two boat landing stages, respectively 32 and 64 feet in length and 8 feet in width; one on either side of the inner end of the wharf, and built en creosoted timber pile foundation. The top of the wharf is 5 feet above the low level of the lake, which rises about 15 inches. During 190S-9-10, the wharf property was fenced in, drained, raised, and levelled; the old warehouse was repaired and fitted up for office, waiting room, and baggage room; a new freight warehouse, 48 by 24 feet wide, was constructed on the inner end of the wharf, and a cribwork retaining wall was partly built on the harbour front of the property, and during the year 1912-13, the sum of $399.97 was expended by day labour in the completion of the cribwork, wharfing and retaining wall, and in painting the fencing around the property. During the year ended March 31, 1914. the sum of $59.18 was expended in tem- porary repairs to the covering of the wharf. Dredging. For the purpose of removing ballast heaps, remains of old cribwork blocks, scattered about the harbour, and which interfered with the free navigation, principally of motor- boats, the departmental dredge Cape Breton was ordered to Baddeck, and between the 1st and 10th of June, 1912, she effected the necessary improvement by removing some 4.000 cubic yards scow measure of stone ballast and old logs. Under an arrangement made with the Atlantic Dredging Company, Ltd.. on November 14, 1913, the clam-shell dredge Pepperell commenced operations at Baddeck for the removal of a shovel bank off the eastern side of McDonald's wharf, and for extending the cut inwards at the eastern side of the public wharf and worked for two days, completing the removal of the shovel bank oil' McDonald's wharf, but owing to the presence of buried timber logs and remains of old piling in the bottom to be dredged off the public wharf, the clam-shell- dredge was found unsuitable for the work, and operations were abandoned. During the period of operations, a total amount of 390 cubie yards, in place, of sand, clay and stone were removed, which, at the rate of 50 cents per cubic yard, represents an expenditure of $195. The material removed measured 490 cubic yards in the scow, so that the expansion was about 25 per cent. bailey's brook. Bailey's brook, Pictou county, is a stream emptying into Northumberland strait, 10 miles eastward of the entrance of Merigomish harbour, and ii miles westward of Arisaig. ;v REPORT OF TEE CHIEF ENGINEER 9 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 In 1902-3, channel protection work was undertaken, consisting of a breakwater on the eastern side, 240 feet long and 20 feet wide, extending to low water, and a shear dam on the western side, 120 feet long and 12 feet wide, founded at low water. The above was completed in 1904-5. In 1904-5-6, the sum of $3,982.17 was expended in constructing an extension of the shear dam 164 feet in length and 17 feet in width, with an " L " 14 feet in length at outer end. In 1908-9, the sum of $4,143.88 was expended in constructing an extension of the eastern protection work 130 feet long and 20 feet wide; in building 90 feet of pile, brush and stone work on the crest of the beach, and 95 feet of brush and stone work in exten- sion inward of the protection work. In 1910-11, the sum of $802.59 was expended in close-piling the seaward face of the pile, brush, and stone work. During the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $200.85 was spent in band dredging and in securing and re-ballasting the damaged eastern pier. , baker's point. Baker's Pond (East Jeddore), Halifax county, is a settlement of about 600 people, scattered along the eastern side of Jeddore harbour, about 30 miles east of Halifax, and 10 miles west of Ship Harbour. The inhabitants arc engaged in fish- ing; the fleet comprising ten schooners and a number of small boats. The harbour is an excellent one. with good shelter and easy approach, the channel being from . 20 to 40 feet deep, and from 800 to 1,000 feet wide. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, the department expended the sum of $1,403.88 in the construction of a pile wharf 100 feet long, 25 feet wide, with an '" L " at the outer end giving a face length of 40 feet. The height of the work along the outer face is 20 feet, giving a depth of water at L.W.O.S.T. of about 10 feet. In the year 1904-5, the sum of $928.07 was expended in repairs to the work which bad been seriously damaged by exceptional ice. Tn the year 1907-S, the sum of $827.70 was expended in constructing a substantial block of cribwork, 20 feet wide. 40 feet long, and from 13 to 19 feet high, under the north corner of the wharf, to prevent further damage by ice. In 1908-9, a second block of cribwork was built for protection of the wharf, 22 feet long, 20 feet wide and 13 to 15 feet high. A small freight shed, 15 by 22 feet was also constructed for the use of shippers. During the fiscal year 1910-11, the sum of $47.05 was expended in making repairs to fenders, piling and guard timbers of the wharf. During the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $101.20 was expended in making miscellaneous repairs to the wharf, including replanking and new fenders. Work done during December and January. Dredging. Under contrael with the Nova Scotia Dredging Company, dredging was done ■between 1st and 31s1 .May. 1913, and on the 13th and 14th January. 1914. to a depth of 10 feet to provide safe vessel berths at the wharf. Some 2,300 cubic yards of mud and shale were removed at a cost of 50 cents a cubic yard. Total expenditure for the fiscal year was $1,150.25. BARRINGTOX PASSAGE. Harrington, Shelburne county, is 45 miles southeast of Yarmouth, 25 miles southwest of Shelburne. and has a population of about 700. Fishing and farming are the chief industries. Coastal steamers make this an important port of call. whilst it is tin:' mainland terminus of the -team ferry service to Cape Sable island. 10 DEP l/.'Y l//.\ /' OF PI BLIC WORKS 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 The private wharf at this place having no material depth of water at L.W.O.S.T., this department, in the year 18S8-9, constructed a wharf, which extends over mud -. hare at low water, to Sherose channel. It is 1,061 feet long in all, 20 feei wide "ti top, with the exception of the bead which is 70 feet wide and 30 feet long, and lias 12 feet of water at it- .inter end at L.W.O.S.T. The shoreward end. 140 feet in length, is built of round log, stone-filled cribwork, all the remaining portion being pile trestle, bents 15 feet distant from centres. The outer end has a freight shed upon it, 35 feet long and 20 feel wide During the past fiscal year, the sum of $800 was expended. Work was commenced about September 15 and continued until ahout November 21, replacing ahout 1,500 feet of 3-inch covering, and in the centre of the wharf a walk was laid of 2-inch plank, 1,051 feet long, replaced 200 feet in length of guard rails and exterior stringers, and about 20 fenders, placed 10 new fenders, closed up the drop on the side of the wharf, thus enabling a vessel to discharge coal at the extreme end of this side. The whole work has been very satisfactorily per- formed. Spring tides rise 0 feet: neap. 5J feet. BATTERY POINT. Battery Point, Annapolis county, is a fishing settlement of about 150 people, situated on the east side of Digby Gut, about 4 miles northeast from the town of Digby, and 16 miles southwest from the town of Annapolis. In 1904-5. the department began the construction of a breakwater for the protec- tion of the fishing fleet, comprising some, forty or fifty boats. The work was extended in 1905-6, 1906-7, and in 1910-11. and the work is now 190 feet long, from 8 to 29 feet high, and 26 to 30 feet wide, substantially built of native timber cribwork, filled with ballast, and with the lower portion protected by 4-inch creosoted sheathing, as a protec- tion against the limnoria. In 1911-12, the department, under an expenditure of $2,709.87, began the construc- tion of a second breakwater, a couple of hundred feet to the south of the existing work, for the purpose of affording shelter from southerly weather. In 1912-13, the sum of $2,598.89 was expended in extending the south breakwater by an additional block 70 feet long, 30 feet wide and from 22 to 29 feet high. In 1913-14, the sum of $625.98 was expended in completing this 70-foot extension. Spring tides rise 27 feet; neap, 23 feet. Baxter's harbour. Baxter's Harbour, Kings county, is a small harbour on the south side of Minas channel, Bay of Fundy, about midway between Scott's Bay and Hall's Harbour, about 6 mih- from either. The settlement has a population of about 200 people engaged in fishing and farming. The harbour is merely a slighl indentation on the coast line, with a small wharf or breakwater on one side and a reef of rocks on the other, leaving an opening about 180 feet in width between them, into which small schooners can enter at about two hours ebb and flow. The little breakwater, which was built many years ago by the inhabitants, aided by the Provincial Government, having become a complete wreck, the department, in L905-6, expended the sum of $2,258.69 in building a substantial breakwater of cribwork on tin site of the ancienl structure. The work, which was not completed at the end of lb. fiscal year, i-- loo feet long, 26 feet wide, and from 5 at the inner end, to 20 feet at the outer end. well tendered and filled with ballast. Tu 1906-7, the sum of $745.54 was expended in completing the work. During the year 1913-14, the sum of $2,998.22 was expended in building an exten- sion to the breakwater. The new block being 50 feet long, from 23 to 2." ' feet high, and from 25 to 28 feet wide, substantially built of standard cribwork. Some minor repairs were also made to tin- shore end of the breakwater. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER- 11 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 BAY ST. I \" RENI E. Bay St. Lawrence, Victorii unty, is on the northern extremity of the island of < !ape Breton. At the head of the bay. and separated from ii by a beach of sand and gravel, ' is a small lake or pond, three-quarters of a mile in length and one-half mile in width, with a considerable depth of water. During 1908-9, in order to render the pond accessible to fishing boats, for harbour, a contract was entered into for the cutting of a channel through the beach of 2 feet below low water and 50 feet wide at the bottom, and the construction of a channel protection pier on either side of the seaward entrance to the channel; each pier is 290 feet in length and extending to 8 feet at low water, and consists of eribwork with creosoted timber substructure: of the work under contract, up to the end of that year, the piers were fully completed and about one-half of the proposed excavation of the channel was done. As it was deemed advisable to complete the excavation by day labour, the con- tractors were relieved of their contract, and during 1910-14. the sum of $2,726.07 was expended by day labour in the construction of a timber-break on the eastern side of the eastern pier, 4 feet in height, to prevent the sand outside being swept into the channel inside, and in excavating the channel itself to a depth of l£-foot below low water. Bayfield, Antigonish county. i.~ on the southern shore of St. George's lay. 15 miles to the westward of the northern entrance to the Strait of Oanso. In 1892-3, a contract was entered into for the construction of a new wharf, 'l'lie work under contract was completed, and the approach to it was improved by one of the departmental dredges in 1893-4. The new wharf is 442 feet in length, including 33 feet of rabble masonry, -WJ feet of block and span open-faced eribwork 25 feet wide, and 90 feet of close-faced eribwork in two blocks each 60 by 30 feet, placed, at right angles. The substructure of the open-faced eribwork and of the outer close-faced eribwork is of creosoted North Carolina yellow pine, and the superstructure of native timber. The depth at extreme low water at the outer end is 11 feet. Spring tides rise 4 feet. Since its completion, the block of both open and close-faced work have settled considerably, principally on the northern side. In May and June, 1896, the sum of $348.37 was expended in levelling up 127 feet of the block and span work, and in slight repairs to tin. vering between the outer close-faced blocks. In 1903-4, the sum of $3,074.57 was expended in raising and repairing the outer end and in renewing the stringers, and covering cap-timbers over the whole struc- ture. During the fiscal year 1913-14. the sum of $2,500.37 was expended in replacing worm-eaten timber in the substructure of the outer block and in some of the blocks of the approach, and in the renewal of the floor-stringers, covering, guard rails, upper face timbers and ties to within 142 feet of the inner end. BEAR COVE. Bear cove, Digby county, is a slight indentation in the coast of St. Marx'- bay, Bay of Fundy, 23 miles north of Yarmouth and equidistant from Cape Cove on tie- south and Meteghan on the north, being about 5 miles from either. The nopulation of the settlement, within a radius of a mile, comprises a couple of hundred pe m!e, chiefly dependent on fishing for a living. In 1906-7, the department built a breakwater, by contract, at a cost of $5,74? The eribwork portion of the breakwater i< 160 feet long, from 20 to 2^ feet wide, and 12 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 from - to 16 feet high. The rock bank approach is 120 feet long, 20 feet wide and from ."» to 8 feet high. In 1908-9, the sum of $599.69 was expended in replacing with cribwork 100 feet in length of the stone bank approach. In 1910-11, the sum of $396.27 was expended in excavating- some ledge rock -ide the work for the purpose of affording more space for boats stranding. In 1912-13, the sum of $500.03 was expended in the blasting and removal of a further quantity of ledge rock, comprising about 450 cubic yards from alongside the work, to improve the berth for fishing boats. In 1913-14, the sum of $1,496.79 r. - expended in the purchase of material for the construction of an extension to the breakwater, under the 1914-15 appropriation. Spring tides rise 18 feet. BEAR POINT. Bear Point, Shelburne county, is situated about 6 miles west of Barrington, 4 miles north of Clarke's Harbour, and has a population of about 400. In the year 1900-1. the department constructed a new breakwater wharf. During the last fiscal year, the department expended $1,078.45 in constructing an extension. When first constructed, the wharf consisted of an approach 57 feet long, 24 feet wide on top. and 70 feet of solid open-faced stone-filled log cribwork, which was 19 feet wide and had a height at (lie outside end of 10 feet. The extension, constructed during the past year, is in the shape of an " L" 40 feet wide, 31 feet long. It is likewise constructed of -"lid cribwork, has a height of 20 feet at the outside end, and has been built in n most satisfactory manner. Work was commenced on September 1. and concluded November 22. 1013. Spring tides rise 10 feet: neap, 6A feet. BEAR'RTVER. Bear River, Digby county, with a population of about 1,500 people, is situated on the river of the same name, "\ miles above its mouth, where it debouches into the Anna- polis basin. At this place a large lumber business is carried on, the annual shipments aggregating about 8,000,000 feet b.m., being exported mostly to West Indian and tli American ports. The village is half in Annapolis and half in Digby county, the river forming- the county line. It is 1.1 miles south of Annapolis. At high water the river is navigable for vessels drawing about 16 feet of water, and at low tide there is only o fresh-water flow some .'! or 1 feet in depth at the village, ami vessels loading lumber lie aground at the wharf. Ii. 1912-13, the department expended the sum of $4,667.07 in purchasing a wharf property, and in beginning the construction of a public wharf for the convenience of the local trade and shippers. Of this amount, $1,800 went to purchase the property, and $2,867.07 for the taking down and rebuilding of the old wharf on the property. The. new wharf, which is not yet finished, is substantially built of native timber cribwork, 85 feet long on the river front, by a width of 20 feet and a height of from 22 to 24 feet. In 1913-14, the sum of $2,837.92 was expended in completing the construction of the public wharf on the site of the ancient structure acquired by purchase from II. II. Marshall.

It is inhabited only during the fishing season by fishermen from Broad Cove. In 1885, the department expended the sum of $200 in digging a channel 175 feet long, 10 feet wide, and having a depth of 4 to 5 feet at II.W.O.S.T., from the head of the little cove to the pond on tin ■ other side of the road, to enable fishermen to enter the latter with their boats, and there find shelter from south and east gales. In 1S94-5, the sum of $40 was expended in reopening the channel that had filled with sand and gravel washed in by th waves. In 1907-8, the department expended the sum of $837.34 in re-opening the boat channel, first made in 1885, and in building two small blocks of eribwork to protect its mouth. The blocks are respectively 50 and 72 feet long, each 12 feet wide and about 7 feet high at their outer ends. In the year 1913-14, the sum of $399.97 was expended in hand dredging a channel 249 feet in length and 20 feet in width to a depth of 4 to H feet below L.W.O.S.T. The material removed was rock and mud. BEAVER HARBOUR. Beaver Harbour, Halifax county, is situated about CO miles east of Halifax; it is a lumbering, fishing and farming district, with a population of from 300 to 400. In the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $2,137.69 was expended in the construction of an approach to the proposed public wharf, and in the purchase of timber in readiness for the construction of the main work during the next fiscal year. The approach is 70 feet in length by 20 feet in width, and has an average height of 6J feet. Work begun December, 1913, suspended March 28, 1914. beaver ia\ ER. Beaver Kiver, Digby county, is a prosperous fishing and farming village of some 400 people, situated on the coast of St. Mary's bay, 13 miles north of Yarmouth and on the county line between Yarmouth and Digby. The little stream which issues here, discharges through a gravel beach, which formerly, when the stream was low, obstructed its mouth and finally closed it altogether, so that the water had to find exit by soakage through the gravel. In 1886-7, the department began operations to remedy this defect and improve the river mouth, the first work being ijie construction of a short breakwater, and a passage was cut through the gravel and sea-wall, the breakwater being built' on the south side to catch the gravel and prevent the bank reforming. In 1888-9, the sum of $1,500 was expended in extending the breakwater 100 feet, sheet piling its northern face and extending the short piece on the northern side of the mouth. In 1891-2, $450 was expended on repairs to the main breakwater. In 1900-1, a further extension of 30 feet was made to the breakwater at a cost of $1,080.04. In 1901-2, the department expended $2,097.46 in repairs and improvements, con- sisting of extensions seaward of both breakwaters. The extension to the south break- water being 50 feet, 25 feet wide and from 15 to 17 feet high; that to the north being 22 feet long, 18 feet wide, and 14 feet high; minor repairs were also made to the northern breakwater at the shore end. In 1906-7, the sum of $99.49 was expended, and in 1908-9. the sum of $1,999.97 was expended, both these expenditures being for repairs and renewals. In 1913-14, the sum of $1,999.45 was expended in rebuilding the shore end of the south breakwater and its extension shorewards by a block of standard eribwork 90 feet long, 12 feet wide, and from 0 to 12 feet high. Spring tides rise about 15 feet. 14 DEPARTMENT OF PI BLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V.. A. 1915 BLACK POINT. Black Point. Richmond county, is on the southern or Atlantic shore of the island of Cape Breton, about 1"> miles to the eastward of the entrance of St. Peter's canal. On the 26th November, 1910, a contract was entered into with A. W. Gerrior and K. Sweet, of Antigonish, N.S., in the sum of $7,166, for the construction of a breakwater on the northern side of the point to protect the anchorage for fishing boats. The work of construction was commenced on July 20, 1911, and was satisfac- torily completed on November 11. The breakwater i- 37>S feet in length and extends to 6 feet at low water. The inner end, for a distance of 150 feet, is 16 feet wide, the outer end is 21 feet wide, and the work consists of a round-timber cribwork structure with creosoted timber substructure, solidly ballasted and close-sheathed on the seaward face and outer end. During, 1912-13, the sum of. $500 was expended for repairs to the outer end of the breakwater, consisting in refilling some of the bays out of which the ballast had been washed, and during' 1913-14, the sum of $730.87 was expended by day labour in placing brush in the bottom of the empty bays of the work, and in filling them up with heavy stone, and in placing large stone along the seaward face of the work, to prevent -enuring out the sandy bottom. BLACK ROCK. Plaj feet. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 15 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 BLUE ROCK. Blue Rock, Antigonish county, is on the southern shore of St. George's bay, about 2.} miles eastward from the entrance to Traeadie harbour, and 6 miles westward from the entrance to the Strait of Canso. The breakwater is 316 feet long, 17 feet wide on top, with a sloping faci tin- seaward side of 1 to 1 from the top of the work to 1 foot below high water, and a stone slope - to 1 from 1 foot below high water for a distance of 175 feet, to within 20 feel of the outer end. During' 1913-14. the sum of $1,199.03 was expended in rebuilding the outer end of the breakwater, vein wing some of the inner cribwork and replacing covering, sheathing and ballast that had been carried away. BLUE ROCKS. Blue Eocks, Lunenburg county, is a small fishing settlement, about 4 miles from Lunenburg town. It has a population of 300, wholly dependent upon the fishing indus- try for a living. The harbour, which is sheltered by a small rocky island, lying close to the shore, is much exposed to the sea at both the eastern and western entrances. During the year 1909-10, the sum of $4,144 was expended in the construction of a small cribwork breakwater between the mainland and the island, at its eastern extremity, thereby closing the eastern entrance and forming a smig harbour. In the year 1911-12, the sum of $8,207.66 was expended in the construction of a breakwater to protect the western entrance to the harbour. The work is 220 feet long. 25 feet wide and from 10 to 18 feet high. The work was done by contract. During the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $601.66 was expended in an extension shorewards of the breakwater. The addition is 62 feet in length, beginning at 25 feet and narrowing to 12 feet in width at the shore end ; it averages 5 feet in height. BLUFF HEAD. Bluff Head, Yarmouth county, is a small fishing and farming settlement of a couple of hundred people, situated on the coast of the mouth of the Bay of Fundy, about 5 miles from Yarmouth and about midway between Chegoggin point on the south and Sandford on the north, or about 1J miles from either. In 1908-9, the sum of $2,005.17 was expended in constructing a small breakwater for the protection of the fishing fleet. The work is 130 feet long, 20 feet wide, and from 4 to 9 feet high, substantially built of round cribwork, filled with ballast and protected with a break, 4 feet high, on the seaward face. Spring tides rise about 18 feet. In 1910-11, the sum of $2,215.96 was expended in constructing an extension to the breakwater, built in 1908-9. The new block is 100 feet long, 20 feet wide on top and from 10 to 12 feet high, built of substantial cribwork of the usual type, and provided with a break 4J feet high on the seaward face. Work was begun on the 1st of September and completed on the 22nd of Novem- ber, 1911. In 1913-14, the department expended the sum of $3,367.81 in extending the break- water 60 feet seaward. The new work being 30 feet wide and 15 to 18 feet high, of substantially built round-log cribwork. A block of cribwork was also built on the sea- ward side of the shore end of the breakwater, to check erosion of the beach ; this block is 80 feet long, from 10 to 20 feet wide, and from 5 to 8 feet high. BOULARDARIE CENTRE. Boulardarie Centre. Victoria county, is on the southern side of the Great Bras d'Or channel, about 8 miles to the westward of the entrance into the Atlantic ocean, and 10 miles to the eastward of its entrance into the Little Bras d'Or lake. 16 DEPARTMENT OF PVBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 On April 25, 1901, a contract was entered into for the construction of a wharf which was completed on June 30, 1902. '1 he wharf is 164 fi et long and 20 feet wide, wit b an " L " at the outer end, 20 feet by i'ii feet, and consists of an approach of stone, clay, and gravel. 10 feet long; of a cribwork abutment, 30 feet long; of two cribwork blocks 20 feet; and of an outer block, 21 feet by 40 feet, with 20-foot openings between the Mocks, spanned and covered over. The abutment and the blocks, constructed of round timber, are creosoted up to the level of high water, fully ballasted and fendered, and the two outer Mucks are protected by heathing. The depth along the channel lace of the wharf at low water, is 13 feet; spring tides rise 2 feet. During 1902-3-4, a road, 2,100 feet in length, was constructed from the wharf to the main road, and during 1904-5, a post and wire fence was constructed on each side of the road, and during 1913-14, the sum of $74.50 was expended in temporary repairs to the covering of the wharf, by renewing some 2,000 feet b.m. of 3-inch plank. BROAD COVE .MARSH. Broad Cove Marsh, Inverness county, is on the gulf of St. Lawrence, 12 miles south from Margaree harbour. The wharf, on its completion in 1S8S, extended 400 feet to 12 feet 10 inches at extreme low water. It was badly damaged in 1894, and was subsequently carried away to within 207 feet of the inner end. In 1894-5-6, the inner 207 feet was repaired and strengthened, and in 1S97-S, a small amount was expended in repairs. When repairs were undertaken in 1904-5-6, only 100 feet of the work remained. During the years 1904-5-G, an extension 123 feet in length was constructed, and close-sheathed between the fenders on each side and at the outer end. In 1907-8, the sum of $409.60 was expended in renewing the floor-stringers and covering the cap- timbers on the inner 100 feet of the wharf. During the fiscal year 1910-11, the sum of $274.85 was expended in replacing ballast, stringers, covering and cap-timbers at the outer end of the wharf, and during 1913-14, the sum of $199.50 was expended in general repairs to the wharf. BROOKLYN. Brooklyn, or Herring Cove, Queens county, as it was formerly called, is situated on the eastern side of Liverpool harbour. Owing to the existence of a sand bar, and the contracted shape of the harbour, this cove has been the only safe anchorage in the bay, when properly protected. The village is a fishing, farming and lumbering one, with a population of about 400. In the years between 1899 and 1902, the department constructed a new wharf upon the site of an old one, which had formerly been built by the Government of Nova Scotia. This structure consists of an approach or rock bank 77 feet in length and of continuous cribwork 160 feet long, 32 feet wide on top and 48 feet in length, of pile trestle bents, likewise 32 feet in width on top except the outside 32 feet which is 56 feet in width on top. It is 22 feet high at the outside end. During the fiscal year 1911-12, slightly over $700 was expended in repairing this work. During the past fiscal year, an amount of $499.20 was expended in completing the necessary repairs, which were commenced on August 11, and completed September 10, 1913. The work done, this year, consisted of renewing the entire top, stringers, guard-rails, and trestle caps for the outside 120 feet in length, and renewing about twenty fenders and fifteen bearing piles. Spring tides rise 7 feet; neap, 4J feet. In the year 1879, this department constructed a breakwater, which cost in the vicinity of $70,000. It was constructed of cribwork, but owing to the presence of iv REPORT OF TEE CHIEF ENGINEER 17 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 the Ti redo navalis, the logs of the cribwork were eaten away, and the entire struc lure became demolished, so that the old work was a menace t ivigation without being any longer o i as a protection. This harbour, or place of call, if propei protection wen- afforded, is the only shelter for the vast amounl of navigatioi the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia between the ports of Halifax and Shelburne, and il is therefore nol onlj of local but ol national importance. On September 9, 1911, a contracl was le1 to the Nova Scotia Construction • pany, Limited, for the construction of a concrete breakwater; this company assigned its contract to a firm known as Falconer & MacDonald, Halifax, N.S. The deed ol assignmenl was executed by the Governor in Council on the 11th of November, 1911, and the new contract was executed on the 19th December, 1911. Besides this eon- tract, the department let a contract to the Canada Cement Company, Limited, of Montreal, for the delivery of sufficient cement to construct this work, not. however, to exceed 20,00 barrels. This work was completed on March 31, 1914 Final estimates have been issued : that of the Cement Company amounting to $29,489.42, and of Falconer & MacDonald amounting to $112,149.40. This work is parallel to the northern side of the old breakwater in Liverpool bay, and is aboul I mile distant by wagon road from Brooklyn station on the Halifax and Southwestern railway. The breakwater consists of a shore approach 30 feel wide, extending out 170 feet, and a massed concrete structure for the outward end 30 feet wide, said outward part being 480 feet in length. The approach is formed by two parallel concrete retaining walls with vertical faces, filled between with hand- packed rubble. The filling is covered with a load of concrete 2 feet thick, deposited upon it. and bonded with the fresh concrete of the side wall. The top is finished throughout, on the seaward side, to a height of 5 feet above H.W.O.S.T. From the end of the approach outward, the breakwater is concrete, deposited under water, aid thickly studded with masses of stone. For about 130 feet the mass of concrete is founded on reck, from which the overlying material is excavated. Beyond, to the outward end, the foundation is enclosed with wooden sheet piling, and the concrete i- mi the natural bottom thus enclosed. The top of the breakwater is finished throughout 5 feet above H.W.O.S.T. as required for the approach. There is nearly 30 feet of water at it- outside end. During the past year, the outer 260 feet in length was constructed; the work was commenced on April 'a. was suspended, owing to disadvantageous weather conditions, on December 20. 1913. and resumed on March 24, 1914. It is now complete and gives every evidence of being constructed according to contract, specification ami plans connected therewith. Between it and the remnants of the old breakwater, however, is a gully where the heavy under- tow washing in brings a severe strain to bear upon the otuside portion of this work. In order to overcome this, it has been recommended that the outside of the work be riprapped for practically its entire length, in the course of which operations the gulley will naturally be filled up with stone. Brule. Colchester county, is situated on Northumberland strait, about 2(1 miles in a straight line from the town of Pictou. It is an arm of Tatamagouche bay. The harbour is sheltered on the northeast by a long neck of land terminating in Cape John, and on the northwest by Brule point. Surrounding the harbour is a prosperous country. well populated. The village of Brule has a post office and telephone, and a population I. The nearest railway station is Denmark on the Intercolonial railway, distant 2 miles. The old wharf, constructed between L884 and 1888, has a total length of 361 and a width of 24 feet with a height of 11 feet at tin.' outer end. 19— iv— 2 18 DEPARTUi:XT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 During the year ending March 31. 1911. the sum of $1,948.85 was expended in extending the wharf. During the year 1911-12. the sum of $303.90 was expended in completing the close-piling of the new portion of the work. During the fiscal year 1912-13, the sum of $2,000.4-1 was expended in taking down and rebuilding a portion of the old wharf. The piece so rebuilt is 160 feet long, 24 feet wide and has an average height of 10 feet. In the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $2,032.73 was expended in rebuilding a length of 210 feet by a width of 24 feet and an average height of 5 feet. Fenders were placed on the portion of work done last year and the ballasting of the whole work was completed. Work begun in August; completed December 8, 1914. bukke's head. Burke's Head, Victoria county, is on the northern side of the North bay of Ingonish, on the northeastern coast of the island of Cape Breton. On January 9, 1911, a contract was entered into for the construction of a break- water for the sum of $35,490. The work of construction was commenced in June, 1911, and good progress was made until the early part of October, when the weather became stormy and the work was delayed. On October 1, the substructure of the work was all in place and fully ballasted, excepting the " L ". The substructure of the latter was built afterwards and was placed but before it could be fully ballasted it was driven ashore during a terrific gale, and was partly wrecked. The work of construction was continued until November 20. when it was suspended for the winter and at that time the structure, excepting the " L ", was completed to the full height. The work was resumed on May 12, 1912, and was completed and accepted on July 25, following. The work consists of a cribwork structure, 300 feet in length, with a return or "L" 120 feet in length, along the channel face, which is in 15 feet at low water. For a distance of 150 feet from the inner end, the work is 20 feet wide, for a further distance of 120 feet, 24 feet wide, and for the remaining distance and for the " L " it is 30 feet wide on top. All the faces of the work are built of squared timber, laid open-faced, with ties of round timber, creosoted to half tide, solidly filled with ballast, and the seaward face, outer end or channel face and outer end of " 1. " are close- sheathed between the fenders. A heavy quarried stone talus sloping 3 to 1 has been laid along the seaward face of the work, and a road 300 feet long and 20 feet wide has been cut along the face of the bank, from the top of the bank to the inner end of the breakwater. During 1913-14, the sum of $130.50 was d in the removal by diver of a portion of the original substructure of the ■'!.". which project 1 the face of the work. GUT. t'abbage Gut, Lunenburg county, is a channel between Middle island on the south, and Cabbage island on the north of the La Have island group, about 15J miles in a southerly direction from the town of Bridgewater. To shorten the run between the islands, and for the convenience of fishing boats, a channel was opened, by day labour, to a depth of 4 feet: 1.500 cubic yards of mud were removed at a total cost of $598.23. CANSO. Canso, Guysborough county, an important fishing centre on the southern shore of X '\,i Scotia at the entrance to Chedabucto bay: 32 miles from the town of Guysbo- rough, and 30 miles from Mulgrave. Population, 1.750. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 19 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 Dredging was undertaken with the object of widening the channel at its mo-t dangerous point to make an easy and safe passage to Whitman's pier, which is used aa a public wharf; also to provide room for vessels going north and south, which pass through this harbour to avoid going around the dangerous rocks and ledges which lie outside. During the season 1913-14, the Government dredge Cape Breton worked from June 4 to June 16, first attempting to remove the outer end of shoal on the western side of the channel, and latterly to dredge a channel across the inner portion of the shoal. In each case the dredge encountered very little movable material overlying the solid rock, and the undertaking was consequently abandoned after having removed 2,950 cubic yards scow measurement. From June 16 to 24 the dredge was engaged in deep- ening to 8 feet at L.W.S. at the Whitman and the Maritime Fish Company's docks. At the Whitman dock, the dredge worked over 11,200 superficial feet; average cut about 2-47 feet, and removed 1,000 cubic yards in situ; 1,200 cubic yards scow measure- ment; expansion factor. 20 per cent. At the Maritime Fish Company's dock, the area was 12,800 superficial feet; average cut, 1-57 feet; and removed 744 cubic yards in situ, 800 cubic yards scow measurement; expansion factor, 7-5 per cent. CAPE ST. MARY. Cape St. Mary, Digby county, is situated on the east coast, of the mouth of the Bay of Fundy near the entrance to St. Mary's bay. It is 19 miles north of Yarmouth, and 27 miles south of Weymouth. It has a population of about 150 people, engaged chiefly in fishing, and is one of the best fishing stations on the coast of St. Mary's bay, cod, haddock, and herring being caught in great abundance. The works consist of a breakwater for the protection of the fishing fleet; begun in the year 1840, and built in sections, and has been maintained and added to from time to time until the year 1907, the work at that date being 470 feet long, from 25 to 34 feet wide and from 6 to 26 feet high. Tn 1913-14, the sum of $699.63 was expended in renewing a quantity of sheathing on the seaward face of the breakwater, and in repairing some of the flooring. CAPE NEGRO. I ape Negro, Shelburne county, is a scattering settlement situated about 5 miles south of Port Clyde, with a population of about 300, ranging along 2 miles of territory. In order to afford accommodation, the department voted $1,500 for the purpose of '■(instructing a wharf. During the past fiscal year, the sum of $1,489.49 was expended. Work was commenced on October 13, and closed on November 30, 1913. The wharf, when complete, will consist of a rock bank 94 feet long, 20 feet wide on top, three cribs h 20 feet long separated by two spans each 15 feet long, and five trestle bents ■ rate 10 feet apart. The last 41 feet in length of this work will be 31 feet wide at the outside end, whilst the remaining 100 feet will be 16 feet wide. The rock bank is completed, also the first two cribs and span, leaving a span, a crib and 51 feet of pile tie bent yet to be constructed. Spring tides rise 8 feet: neap, 5J feet. CARIBOU ISLAND. ( laribou Island, Pictou county, is on the strait of Northumberland, 5 miles to the westward of the entrance to Pictou harbour. In 1890-91, a causeway of brush and stone, 1,300 feet long, between the mainland and the island, was commenced over flats, dry at low water, and in 1894-5, this cause- way was raised to 1 foot above H.W.S., and had a talus of quarried stone, sloping 1 to 1 from H. W. S., placed on the seaward side. 19— iv— 2 J 20 UEPARTMEN7 OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V.. A. 1915 I and 1909, the work v aged and repaired from time to time.

In 1910-11, the sum i I $2,000 was expended in repairing tin- pile, bt work and in raising the causeway 0 inches above H.W.S. In 1911-12, the sum of $967.91 was exp ided in replacing somi brus] ■rush and stone work, and in repairs to roadway. In 1912-13, the sum of $1,365.55 was expended in repairing pile work and in raising causeway for 750 feet. During the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $880.74 was expended in strengthening pile, brush and -lone work. carr's brook. Carr's Brook, Colchester county, is a farming and lumbering district, situated :'. miles west of Central Economy and 2S miles east of Greal Village. It' has a popula- tion of 150. In the fi — 1 year 1913-14, the sum -: $9,300 ■ ■'• I (under contract with Halle Bigelow) in the construction of a breakwater-wharf. The completed work for a distance of 330 feet is 20 feet wide, and for the next SO feet has a width of 30 feet and an average depth of 10 feet. An approach »as also built from the public highway to the breakwater wharf. The sum of $250 was expended by day labour in the con- struction of a brush and stone breakwater along the western side of the stream for a distance of 234 feet, and in repair- to the water course on the road Leading to breakwater. carter's pond. Carter's pond, Guysboro county, is situated on the north side of Chedabucto bay 12 miles east of the entrance I" Guysborough harbour and •'! miles west of Sand Point at the entrance to the Strait of Canso. The pond covers an area of about 1 mile by 150 yards and has a depth of from 8 to 16 feet at low water outside. It is separated from Chedabucto bay by a beach, the crest of which is about 7 feel above high water. Spring tides rise 6 feet. During the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $650 was expended in making a cutting 25 feet in width to low-water level through the beach, which afterwards scoured to a depth of about 3 feet at low water. This opening was, however, filled by a subsequent rm. i i s iKi'.vn.r.i:. Centreville, Shelburne county, is situated on Cap.' Sable island about 2 miles southwest of North East point, and is a calling place for a ferry service between Barrington Passage and Cape Sable island. It is the only wharf when- supplies for a large number of people in that vicinity can be landed to advantage. This calling 'dace serves not only thi interests of the people in the immediate vicinity, but of the Stony island section as well, so that in all. the .interests of about 800 people are -tod. For a number of years, this ferry stopped at a private wharf known as McGray's wharf, which was in such a state that its renewal or rebuilding became iteb; necessary. During the fiscal year 1012-1:;. the sum of $2,325.95 was led in constructing a work 200 feet in length, the first 118 feet consisting of a iv KEPOIt'l OF I III CHIEF >.

Chebogue, Yarmouth county, with a population of about 400, is one of oldest settlements in the county of Yarmouth. It is situated on the west side of Chebogue river and harbour, about 5 miles south of Yarmouth. The wharf which was the first wharf in Yarmouth county, and, excepting Arcadia at the extreme head, is the only landing- place on the river, was built about one hundred years ago, by the Provincial Government. It was repaired and extended a length of 67 feet by the same Government, ahout the year 1883; receiving no repairs=ov renewal^ since the latter date, it fell into a state of dilapidation and disuse. In 1899-1900, the sum of $856.84 was expended in renewing- the works, with a pile structure on the site of the old. The new work is 110 feet long, exclusive of the short earth and stone approach, from 24 to 33 feet wide, and in'. |V,.t ],;,,), nt t]„. outer end. At Lav water, the mud Hats are hare a couple of hundred feet beyond the wharf, while at hieh tide there is about 8 feet of water. In 1913-14, the sum of $898.88 was expended in rebuilding, in dry rubble sti the public wharf that was first built about 100 years ago. The wharf is 110 fee long, from 25 to 31 feet wide and 10£ feet high, at the outer end. The top of the wharf is covered with gravel, and both sides of the outer end are provided with a guard rail and fenders. CIIEBOGIE HARBOUR. Chebogue harbour, Yarmouth county, is situated about 7 miles south of the town i if Yarmouth. Xear its mouth, and surrounded by Fox island, Yeal island. • lacko isla.nd and Shortliffe point, a small hut well protected anchorage or roadstead which affords shelter to a considerable number of small fishing vessels and other craft, engaged in fishing and general trade. The anchorage is partly protected on the south by Fox island, hut its westerly portion, which is mostly dry at low water, and much used at or near high tide by boats plying between Chebogue point and other ports and by other craft, is guarded by a gravel liar or Loach 800 feet Ion-. about 20 feet wide from high water to high water, and 4 to 5 feet high ab H.W.O.S.T. To preserve the beach and the anchorage to the north of it. the department, in 1900-01, at a cost of $1,79S built cribwork 2G0 feet long, 8 feet wide and s'. feet high. Spring tides rise 15 feet. Between 1901 and 1911, five small expenditures were made in renewals and repairs. In 1911-12. the sum of $31.83 was expended in repairs to the floor, whi hat -lightly damaged by ice the previous winter. In 1913-14, the department spent the sum of $199.77 in effecting rep - and renewals to the top of the beach protection which was damaged by the ice am' storm* of the winter of 1912-13. CHESTER. Chester, Lunenburg county, is a village of about 1,000 people, engaged in farm- ing and general trade, situated at the head of Mahone bay, 45 miles southwest Halifax. It is a favourite tourist resort in the summer and is a place of some import; •'■ owing to its fine situation and beautiful scenery. 22 DEPARTMENl OF PI BLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 In the y : L9 18 .'. tb department expended the sum of $113. SO in re the channel through the isthmus joining the mainland and Peninsular point, which had filled in since it was dug out in 1901. During the year 1911-1-!, the sum of $752.86 was expended in widening and deepening the channel. During the year 1912-13, the sum of $2,300 was expended in taking down rebuilding the western wall of the canal a length of 110 feet, average, height 10 t; in raising the road for a distance of 180 feet on the western ajid 110 feet on the eastern side from 3i to 6 feet in height and 30 feet in width. A 35-foot span steel bridge was placed across the channel, aud 800 yards of sand removed. In the year 1913-14, the wall en the island side of the canal was completed, the total length of wall being 360 feet in length with an average height of 8 feet built of cut stone and hand laid. The channel was deepened from 1 to 1$ feet, and the public highway, for 200 feet on either side of the bridge, was raised from 1 to 2 feet, at an expenditure of $1,857.24. CHETICAMP. Cheticainp, Inverness county, also called Eastern Harbour, is on the uv-i coast of Cape Breton Island, 18 miles north of Margaree. It is a secure harbour, being shel- tered from the west and south by Cheticainp island and a connecting beach. The entrance is from the north through a dredged channel. A wharf built on the eastern side of the harbour in 1890, consisted of an approach 125 feet in length and 30 feet in width, over a distance of 60 feet from its outer end, with side walls and centre filling of stone, and of an extension SO feet in length in two :ks, a central block 20 by 20 feet, and an outer block or head 25 feet in width 60 feet in length along the channel face, with opening of 17 feet 6 inches. During the years 1898 to 1900, the wharf was reconstructed and extended bj addition of a creosoted pile-head, 70 feet in length and from 3.". to 37 feel in width. During the fiscal year ended March 31. 1912. the sum of $1,103.23 was expended in the removal of fender-piles, walings, braces and chocks in the pile-head, and the crib-work, where it had settled, was raised and, where required, new covering placed, and during 1913-14, the sum of $174.75 was expended in repairs to the stone iaeh 1" the wharf. Dredging. Tin i the work was the improvement by dredging of the channel from the entrance into the harbour, by widening and deepening it, so as to enable a larger BS of vessels and steamers to enter and leave at all times of tide, principally in the interests of the gypsum trade. Dredging operations to effect the desired improvement were commenced during 1909-10. and during that year the channel, fur a distance of 2.400 feet, in a width of about 100 fret, was dredged to an average depth of about 13 feet below low water. On August 6, 1912, a contract was entered into with Vivian T. Bartram, of Toronto, for the completion of the channel to a width of 100 feet and to a depth of 16 feet below low water. The work under contract involved the removal of 22,S00 cubic yards, scow measure, of sand, at the rate of "7-1 cents per cubic yard; dredging operations were commenced on August 7, 1912, and continued until October 9 follow- . when the amount contracted for was removed, but owing to some filling in by shif; d, the channel as proposed was not fully completed. On September IS, 1913, a contract was entered into with the Northern Dredging Company, Ltd., of St. John, KB., for the removal of 5) ic yard- scow measure, of sand, at the rate of 30 cents per cubic yard, to complete the channel to a width of 150 feet and to a depth of 16 feet at low water; the work was commenced on September 22. 1913. by the suction dredge Prince Ito and plant, and continued until December iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 23 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 orJ following, when the work was completed by the removal of 50,036-2 cubic yards, scow asure, of Band, which at the rate of 30 cents per cubic yard, involved the cxpend- of $15,028.86. From a survey of the channel made immediately after the completion of the work, it was found that the total amount removed under this contract was 41,500 cubic yards in place, so that the expansion factor in this case was 20-56 per cent. The channel as completed is 2,400 feet in length, nowhere less than 150 feel in width, and with a minimum depth of 16 feet at low water. Spring tides rise 34 feet. CHEVERIE. Cheverie, Hants county, with a population ^of 350, is situated on the right or east bank of the river Avon, where it debouches into the Basin of Minas, some 15 miles north of Windsor, the county town. It is a good farming district, but the principal trade of the place is the quarrying and shipping of gypsum to the United States. A wharf, about 100 feet long, was built many years ago by the Provincial Govern- ment, In 1S73-4, the department lengthened it to 170 feet at a cost of $2,338.88, the extension being of round-log cribwork, like the old work. In 1882, a further extension of 182 feet was built at a cost of $5,000. This piece of work is of square timber, close- faced, 25 feet high, 25 feet wide on the top, the same width as the former, and the sides batter 1 in 12. In 18S5, the sum of $600 was expended in. much needed repairs to the work. In 1884, the department built a detached breakwater 300 feet distant from the outer end of the wharf for the purpose of protecting the latter from northerly seas, to which it was exposed. This piece of work consists of solid cribwork, 130 feet long, 20 'feet wide on top, 35 feet wide at the base and about 23 feet high, built of square timber and close-sheathed on all sides. The seaward side, to a height of 10 feet below high water of spring tides, has a slope of 1 in 1, the sloping faces being covered with 6-inch plank. The block is provided with mooring posts to assist vessels in coming to berth at the wharf, as well as with ring bolts and ladders. In 1887-8, the sum of $500, and in 1906-7 the sum of $100 was expended in repairs. On the outer 100 feet in length the flooring, guards and some of the fenders were renewed; 60 feet shorewards was floored, and 205 feet in length of the wharf was raised to a height of 1 to 3 feet. In 1902, the sum of $768.23 was expended in the purchase of timber in readiness for the next year. In 1902-3, the sum of $2,999.34 was expended in the construction of an extension to the detached breakwater. The new work was 100 feet long, 25 feet wide on top, 22 feet high, battering on the landward side 1 in 4 and plumb on the seaward face. In 1903-04, the sum of $1,487.29 was expended in renewing the top of the middle third in length of the wharf, 80 feet long, 11 feet deep and 30 feet wide. In 1905-6, the sum of $1,000 was expended in taking down and rebuilding a portion of the shore end of the cribwork, 80 feet long, 8 to 12 feet high and the full width of the work, and in rebuilding and reinforcing the block on the north side of the work, 100 feet long, 5 to 8 feet wide, to the full height of the work. In 1908-9, the sum of $2,935.19 was expended in extensive repairs and renewals. In 1909-10, the sum of $4,337 was expended in constructing an addition to the wharf. The extension is 80 feet long, 25 feet wide on top, 30J feet wide at bottom and 27 feet high, built of native cribwork and filled solid with stone. The work was done under contract with H. Macaloney, of Parrsboro, N.S. In 1913-14, the sum of $2,198.64 was expended in general repairs to the breakwater and wharf. Thirteen new fenders were placed on the protecting block, new stringers on the sloped top of this portion' of the work, and new hardwood covering over an area 90 by 15 by 7 feet; new fenders, thirteen in number, were placed on the breakwater, heavy iron straps placed on the corners of the work and 4,000 feet of new covering and new mooring posts. The outer end of the wharf was built up 2 feet for a distance of 60 feet, the wharf was replanked for a length of 200 feet, and new floor-stringers supplied. The 24 DEPARTMENT OF I'CIfUC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 inner end of the wharf was widened by 15 feet for a length ' . and ballasted with iC tons of ballast. Sev< ral boulders were removed from the approach to the work. Work was begun ; r and completed in December, 1913. CHURCH POINT. Church Point, Dighy county, is situated on the southeast side of St. Mary's bay, Bay of Fundy, 9 miles southwest of Weymouth. It has a population of some 200 or 300 people, engaged in fishing and farming. The works here, which wharf, a retaining wall and a breakwater, all of native timber cribwork, were built between 1S55 and 1S65, at the joint expense of the inhabitants and the Provincial Government. Since 1S75, the department has made numerous expenditures in repairs, renewal and extensions, of which a full account will be found in the departmental reports for 1910-11 and 1911-12. In 1912-13, the sum of $369.34 was expended in renewing the sluice-gates at the foot of the tidal pond, which are used for clearing away the gravel from the berth for vessels alongside the wharf, and the plaeing' of seven new mooring posts along the face of the wharf. The expenditure for 1913-14, amounting to $311.43, was for the repairing in several places of the deck of the groyne which bad suffered damage from heavy seas during the preceding winter. Clarke's harbour. ike's Harbour. Shelburne county, is a town of about 1,300 people, located on the southwestern side of Capo Sable island, the southermost portion of Nova Scotia. The value of the shipping at that place is about $60,000 for boats, $15,000 for small steamers and $20,000 for schooners. The harbour is shallow, with an extremely rocky bottom, and several expenditures have been made by the department in the removal of rocks from the channel and in the approaches to the various wharfs along the water-front. During the past year. $1,5,00 was expended in removing 168 cubic yards of rock, which would make the cost about $6.88 per yard, or $3.-40 per ton. The rocks removed were practically all granite. They were embedded in the mud, and required consider- able blasting before they could be removed, which made the cost higher than under more favourable circumstances. Spring tides rise here about 9 feet: neap, 5-1 feet. The work was commenced on December lib 1913, and completed January 1, 1914. COFFINS ISLAND. 1 iins island is situated in Queens county. It is about l'1 miles long, varying in width from one-quarter to three-quarters of a mile, situated on the eastern side of Liverpool bay. The cove where the dredging was performed is at the extreme northern end of the island. It has no regular population, but is a tishing station utilized by from 100 to 125 fishermen, during the lobster and cod season. The shipping consists of large boats from 2 to 5 tons burden; two small steamers about 60 feet in length over all, and an SO-ton schooner which twice a year lands coal for the light on the southern end of the island. Most of these boats employ line engines as auxiliary [lower, and are worth from $200 to $600 each. There are about eighty of these boats. Before the dredging could be performed, a number of rocks in the entrance and on the inside of the cove were removed, so that the nut only get in but have a safe berth inside. There were 206 cubic iv KEPOli'l OF i in: i nil r r\i;i \ rri; 25 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 yards removed al a cost of $1,460. This work was commenced on April 24, I completed on May L6, 1913. On July 7, the Canada began work, and completed the same on July 19. 1913, during which time she removed 2,700 cubic yards of spoil. There is now fairly good mooring grounds for a large number of the present fishing from there. Spring tides rise here 7 feet; neap, I' feet. con i.'vi \ ii.i.i:. Comeauville, Digby county, is a straggling settlemenl of some 500 engaged in fishing' and farming, situated on the eastern shore of the Bay of Fum 33 miles southwest of Digby, the county town. For a full acoounl of the work at this place, see departmental report for 1903. The last expenditure was made in 1902-Sj, $1,998.49, which was expended in extending the breakwater by a new block 40 feet long, 28 feet wide and from 22 to 28 feet high, substantially built of stone filled eribwork, close-sheathed on the sea- ward face and outer end. Spring tides rise 21 feet; neaps, 17 feet. In 1913-14, the department expended the sum of $599.06 in rebuilding the upper 3 feet in height of the outer block of the breakwater, which had settled from 1 to 3 feet, under the action of scour, also the removal of a quantity of sand and gravel near the outer end of the breakwater that obstructed the entrance of schooners to the breakwater. COTTAGE COVE. Cottage cove. Annapolis county, is a very slight indentation in the coast line of the south side of the Bay of Fundy, about 2 miles west of Port George. The population of the place comprises about 100 people, engaged in fishing and farming. To afford some slight protection to the fishing boats, (lie department, in 1911-12, expended the sum of $959.33 in the construction of a small breakwater. The work is 70 feet long, 20 feet wide and from 5 to 11 feet high. In 1912-13, the sum of $1,200.07 was expended in completing the breakwater, 70 feet long, built last year, and in building an extension, 60 feet long, 25 feet wide and from 14 to 18 feet high. Owing to the lateness of the season at which the work was begun, and frequent and severe storms, the work was not completed. In 1913-14. the sum of $3,300 was spent in completing the extension and in the construction of a further extension, 80 feet long, 20 to 30 feet wide, and from 18 to 20 feet high. This appropriation was exhausted in January, 1914, leaving the work unfinished, and a further appropriation will be necessary lor the completion of the work. i i wixc.iiam's point. Cunningham's point, Guysborough county, is on the southern side of Milford Haven river (Guysborough harbour), 8 miles in from the entrance and within half a mile of the head of navigation for .small vessels. In 1904-5, a wharf was built, consisting of a stone abutment and embankment, two crib blocks 18 feet by 20 feet, an outer block 20 feet by 40 feet, with one snan of 13 feet and two spans of 16 feet. Soundings along the outer 40 feet give 10 feet of water at L.W.S. During 1913, the sum of $518.40 was expended in repairs to the upper eribwork, and in the replacing of floor-stringers, covering and guard-rails. d'escousse. D'Escousse, Richmond county, is a thickly settled district on the northeastern coast of Madame island, and on the southern side of the eastern entrance to 1 nnox Passage, a strait connecting St. Peter's bay with the -trait of Canso. 26 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 A wharf with a ware! ached, was constructed by the department during 1902-3. With the exception of a cribwork shore abutment, 15 feet in length, the wharf is a pile structure extending to 12 feet at low water, 307 feet long and 22 feet wide with an "L" on the if the outer end, 22 feet by 22 feet; the bearing piles outside of the line of low water being of creosoted timber. The warehous ad 20 feet wide, was built originally on a pile foundation on the eastern side- of tin- inner end of the wharf, and as it was found to be inconveniently located to accommodate the steamer- and vessels which load and discharge at the outer end of the wharf, during the fiscal year 1903-10, the sum of was expended in removing the warehouse and in placing it on a separ; - >ted pile foundation, in the corner formed by the " 1. " and the main structure of the wharf. Spring tides rise 6 feet. During the year 1913-14, the sum of $270.75 has been expended by day labour in the renewal of 11,550 feet b.m. of 3-inch plank covering of the wharf. Dredging. The harbour is formed by outlying islands and connecting beaches and is about one-third of a mile in length and one-fifth of a mile in width, with a depth of from 18 to 21 feet at low water springs, which rise 6 feet, but its entrance, which is from the eastward through a narrow and crooked channel, is obstructed by a bar of sand and clay, with only 10 feet at low water over it. On July 17, 1912, a contract was entered into with Mr. Vivian T. Bertram, of Toronto, for straightening and deepening, to 14 feet at low water, the channel across the bar at the entrance, involving the removal of 27,000 cubic yards, scow measure, of mud. clay and cents per cubic yard; the dredge Etang and plant, commenced operations on October 21, 1912. and continued until Xovember 23 following, when the work was suspended for the season. Up to that date, two cuts about 25 feet in width and about 600 feet in length were dredged to the required depth, and 8,9254 cubic ■:' material were removed, which, at 2CU cents per yard. amounted .26. The work under contract was resumed on May 16. 1913. and continued until July 4 following, when it was completed by the removal of 18,084} cubic yards of clay, boulders and mud, which at the rate of 261 cents per cubic yard, involved an expend- iture of ■ . during the fiscal year 1913-14. The completed channel is about S00 feet in length and 100 feet in width, and has a minimum depth of 14 feet at low water. From a survey made of the work after completion, it appears that the total amount removed under th 20,550 cubic yards in place, the expansion was 31-4 per cent DEVIL ISLAND. Devil island. Halifax county, i^ a small low island about 2,000 feet in length by 11 wide, with its highest point about 15 feet above H.W.O.S.T.. situated about S miles to the southeast of the city of Halifax and one-third of a mile from the main- land of Hartland point, to which it is connected by a reef, covered with 3 feet of sand. and having 3 feet of water over it at low tide. The island is permanently inhabited by about 100 people, wholly dependent upon fishing for their livelihood. In 1892, a breakwater. 300 feet long, 15 feet wide, with an "L" at the outer end, 30 feet in length, at which there is a depth of water of 5 feet at L.W.O.S.T., was con- structed at a cost of $1,941.18. In the next eleven years, various small amounts were expended in making- repairs to the work. In 1904-5, the sum of $499.49 was expended iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 27 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 in building- a small breakwatei the northern end of the island to prevent the from washing around and disturbing boats lying at or near the old breakwater, on the west side. The work measures 155 feet in Length, 15 feet in width, and from 4 to 8 feet in height, substantially built of round-log crib-work and filled with stoin ballast. On June 19, 1905, a contract was entered into with Messrs. Reid and Archibald to construct a new breakwater, immediately to the west of the old work, which wa far eaten by the teredo and the limnoria, as to be of little further service. The amount of the contract was $5,980. The work, to the level of the high tide, is of ereoso timber. In the fiscal year 1912-13, the sum of $13,270.50 was expended in beginning the construction of a concrete and stone breakwater, under contract with Obed. A. Hamm. In the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $6,019.02 was expended in the continuance of this contract. The amount of the contract is $26,984 and, to date, the gross amount of $21,432.80 has been expended, and 75 per cent of the work completed. During the fiscal year 1912-13, it was decided to make a change in the plan- and to increase the thickness of the walls, and in the year 1913-14, the work was carried out in the same manner. When the work is completed, the stem will measure 90 feet in length by 16 feet in width and the " L " will measure 150 feet in length and 16 feet in width. Height from 17 to 22 feet. Work was begun in May and suspended in August, 1913. DIGBY. Digby, Digby county, is the shire-town of the county, with a population of about 1,600, situated on the southwestern end of Annapolis basin. It is an important station on the D.A.Ry., 67 miles north of Yarmouth, 150 from Halifax and 20 from Anna- polis. It is the port of call for the daily steamer of the D. A. Ry., plying between Digby and St. John. The pier, nearly 900 feet long, was originally built by the provincial government, some years before Confederation. Full particulars of the work will be found in the departmental reports for 1906-7, 1909-10, 1911-12, and 1912-13. The wharfage collections at this pier now exceed $4,000. There is consequently great wear and tear, and frequent need for repairs and renewals. In 1913-14, the sum of $1,310.65 was expended in necessary repairs and renewals to the pier, also the sum of $298.74 was expended in the removal of about 1,400 cubic yards of sand and gravel from alongside the fishing wharf in proximity to the public pier, bringing the total expenditure up to $1,609.39. Dredging. In 1913-14, the Maritime Dredging and Construction Co., of St. John, N.B., under contract, removed 79,900 cubic yards of sand, gravel and mud, scow measurement, at 25 cents per yard from the berth and approach to the pier, with the spoon dredge Iroquois. The work was begun on the 8th of July, and finished on the 15th of August. 1913. The contract was then extended to include a further 80,000 cubic yards at 24£ cents per yard. The work was begun under the extension of the contract on the 18th of August, 1913, and finished on the 23rd of January, 1914. The total quantity under the extension of contract being 77,989 cubic yards, or a total under the contract and its extension of 157,889 yards, leaving a balance not yet removed of 2,111 yards. The object of this dredging was the enlargement of the berth and approach to the public pier, to facilitate the arrival and departure of the daily steamer plying between Digby and St. John.

Eastern Passage, Halifax county, is an important fishing village of some 300 or leu people, situated on the eastern side of Halifax harbour, ." miles below the city. A small brook which empties into a cove near this place used to keep the channel ope for boats, but of late years the beach which protected the cove has been gradually moving shorewavds until protection work has become indispensable In 1908-9, the sum of $4,979.71 was expended in constructing a breakwater for the further protection of the harbour. The work was 350 feet long, of which 200 feci is 10 feet wide and 150 feet is 15 feet wide. The work is from 10 to 15 let high, substantially built of round-log eribw»rk. Some 10,000 feet in length of brush fi nci was also constructed to cheek the driving of the sand. During the fiscal year 1910-11, the sum of $5*4 was expended in completing end of the breakwater which was left in au unfinished condition in the year 1908 9. During the fiscal year 1910-11, the -.um of $3,345.85 was expended in renii '.i, '.nil cubic feet of sand to form a channel for fishing boats entering and leaving thi ir. Work was done under contract with Messrs. Beazley Bros, of Halifax. During the fiscal year 1912-13, the sum of $193.45 was expended in making repairs to the breakwater. Tin* work done consisted "f the placing of sixty lenders, and n ir- to planking and ballasting. 30 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 In the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $70'!. 47 was expended in the placing of 1,000 tons of ballast, in spiking down old planking, and in placing the approach to the work in a passable condition. Work was begun in September and completed November 5, 1013. EASTERN POINTS. Eastern Points, Lunenburg county, is a fishing settlement about 2 miles east of Blue Rocks, and about 6 miles east of the town of Lunenburg, and is used by the ermen of the locality for the purposes of their business. It has a population of about 100, and the boneless fish industry now in operation has an output valued at about $1,000. Tq provide a safe waterway to the wharves and safe anchorage, a channel from the main channel to the wharves, about 150 by 30 feet, averaging a depth of 4 feet, thence along the wharves for 178 by 30 feet, and an average depth of 5 feet, was aed by hand dredging in October and November; 1,000 cubic yards of mud were removed at a total cost of $ I '.1:1.90. EAST JORDAN. East Jordan. Shelburne county, is a straggling settlement of about 400 people, situated 9 miles west of Lockeport, and 8 miles east of Shelburne. It is a mixed fish- ing, farming and lumbering community, and of considerable importance as a ship- ping port. In 1S75, the Department built a breakwater costing $24,568. It was 550 feet long, 30 feet wide and. at the outer end, 23 foot high, where at L.W.O.S.T. there is a depth of 12 feet. It was substantially built of square timber closed-faced cribwork, well bolted, fendered, and ballasted. In the spring of 1S79, the outer end for a length of 100 feet was destroyed by a heavy storm to within 2 feet of L.W.O.S.T. This damage was lired in 1^2-3 by an expenditure of $5,046.12 when, owing to the settlement of -eawar.l or southern side of the work, the greater part of the top was rebuilt and straightened up, the seaward face being thoroughly protected by a riprap wall of stone, reaching to high water mark. Several minor expenditures were made since thai date. irk was commenced on September 1, and ceased on March 31, 1914, and consisted renewals for its entire length and width of plank guard-rails, exterior stringers and floor-stringers. In other words, the entire top was rebuilt to a depth of 2 feet. The pproach was practically rebuilt, and the outside SO feet in length of the wharf, which had settled 2 feet, raised to its former height. Some 400 tens of rock were ■1 to the riprap wall. Springtides risi 7 N't: neap, I' feet. EAST PORT LEHEBERT. East Port LeHebert, Queens county, is a village about 1"' or 17 mile- east of Liverpool, with a population of about 150. All these people are engaged in ■ eir principal income being- derived from the lobster fishing They needed, for a number of years, something to protect their lobsters (when deposited alive in crates) from damage bj the floating ice. In 1908-9. the Department constructed, at a cost oJ out $1,250„ protection piers, so situated that boats requiring and protection from the iee. could bring their lobsters and moor their crates in absolute safety. During the past two or three years, this work has been gradually undermining, so that it became necessary to protect it from being entirely destroyed. In view of the above fact, the sum of $292.64 was expended during the last fiscal year upon this work. It was commenced on November 0, and completed on November 29, 1913. Piles v driven around the outside end, and the outer end of the work which had settled about 4 feet in the sand, was prad ically reconstructed.

Loclr, Dam, Channels, etc. East River, Pictou county, is the most easterly of the three branches of Pictou harbour. It is navigable for small vessels from opposite Pictou to the town of New Glasgow. With a view to making the river navigable, between Pictou and Trenton, for ocean-going vessels up to 10,000 tons capacity, this Department has, for the last five years, been dredging a new channel and turning basin, the latter being situated opposite the works of the Nova Scotia Steel and Coal Co. at Trenton. This work is not yet completed. As the natural course of this river is somewhat tortuous, it was deemed expedient to obviate this by constructing, through Stonehouse point, a lock, 638 feet long, with regulating raceway, and to cut channels through Cantley and Shipyard point, these channels to be 100 feet and 150 feet wide respectively. To carry out these improvements a contract was let in April, 1913, to Messrs. McDougal Bros., of Ottawa, for $390,701.35. During the fiscal year 1913-14, the common excavation from the lock and race- way amounting to 70,000 cubic yards were taken out, and 3,600 cubic yards of rock from the lock. About 6,400 square feet of rock face have been channelled. During the winter months, 20,700 lineal feet of spruce piling have been driven in the two timber approach piers, situated at the north entrance to the lock. Cofferdams have been built at both the entrances to the lock. The total amount for work excavated and material delivered, during the fiscal year, 1913-14, came to $53,607.60, or, after deducting a 10 per cent drawback of $5,007.60, an expenditure of $48,600. Dredging. Improvements were undertaken to permit steamships to visit the towns of Trenton and New Glasgow, two industrial centres on its banks. The departmental hydraulic dredge Northumberland was employed on this work each season, since operations were begun in 1908. The cutting, which is 150 feet in width at bottom (except where it is widened to form turning basin), is taken to a depth of 21 feet below L.W.O.S.T., in the part of the river below the regulating lock. now nearing completion, at Stone-house point. Above the lock where the dredge was employed the past season, the cutting is taken only to a depth of 15 feet. This will give a total depth of 21 feet below the regulated surface on the upside, when the lock is -completed. During the season, May 20 to November 11, 1913, the Northumberland removed 20,419 cubic yards in deepening, to grade, a cutting made the previous season between Cantly and Shipyard points, 6.420 cubic yards were removed in making a spur cutting from the above channel to the pump house of the Eastern Car Com- pany, and finally 218,669 yards were removed from a part of the Trenton basin, making a total of 245,608 cubic yards measured in situ. The total area dredged over was 695,500 square feet; the average depth of cutting was 9i feet, and the material removed was clay, sand and gravel. EAST SHIP HAEBOUU. East Ship Harbour, Halifax county, i> a fishing district situated on the Atlantic coast, about 50 miles from Halifax. For the accommodation of the inhabitants, the Department, in the year 1912-13, began the construction of a wharf. The sum of $1,000 was expended in the construction of a stone approach to the wharf and block of eribwork measuring 20 by 20 feet. During the fiscal year 1913-14. the sum of $3,500 was expended in continuing tin- work begun last year.

Thr blocks are constructed of round timber laid open-faced with creosoted timber substructure, fully ballasted and fendered, and close-sheathed on the western faces, the outer end, and on the eastern fare of the outer Mock. The depth at extreme low water al the outer end or along the channel faci 12 feet. Spring tide.s rise 5 feet. As the top of (he wharf had been petting gradually weaker and worn by wear and tear, and by the natural decay of the wood, during 1913-14, the sum of $913.92 was expended by day labour in renewal of floor stringers, covering, cap-timbers and upper fenders, and in raising the northeast corner of the outer end of the work, which bad si ttled a depth of about 2 feet. FELTZEN SOUTH. Feltzen South, Lunenburg enmity, is the name given to a huge and prosperous fishing settlement situated on the west side of Lunenburg bay, about 3 miles south- wesl of the town of Lunenburg. During the fiscal year 1905-6, the Department expended the sum of $2,454.06 in the construction of a pile timber wharf 141 feet long and 25 feet wide, with an "L " on flu- outer < nd, giving a face length of 50 feet and a depth of water at L.W.O.S.T. of about 10 feet. The wharf is IS feet high along the face. The approach 60 feet long. is a bank of stone and gravel. In the fiscal year 1912-13, the sum of $466.55 was expended in repairs and renewals to this work. Old piles, broken by ice, were removed, and fifty new one- were driven i" protect the wharf from further damage and to replace those broken during the si inter. During the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $16,539.10 was expended (under con- tract with Duncan I.. Fraser) in the construction of a breakwater.

During 1912-13, the sum of $1,000 was expended by day labour in the construc- tion of beach protection works at inner end of wharf, 200 feet Long and 5 feet wide, consisting of pile-work filled in with brush and stone, and during 1913-14, the sum of $499.78 was expended in repairs to beach protection work, built during 1912-13, and in close-sheathing the inner end of wharf to prevent the brook from breaking through it. FOX ISLAND. Fox island. Halifax county, is situated on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, 13 miles east of the city of Halifax, and is about 900 feet from the mainland. It is only some 3 or 4 acres in extent, and no point on it is more than 6 feet above H.W.O.S.T. It lias no permanent inhabitants, hut during the summer season it is used by the fishermen as a fishing station. In the year ISSi'i-ST, the Department built a cribwork protection extending over the whole length of the beach between the island and the mainland, a distance of 935 feet, and in 1892, an extension of 252 feet in length was built to protect the main part of the island. Numerous expenditures have been made for repairs since that date. In the year 1910-11, the sum of $1,408.81 was expended in the construction of a small breakwater 100 feet in length for the protection of a boat landing on the western side of the island. In the year 1911-12, the sum of $1,129.53 was expended in the purchase of material for the construction of an addition to the breakwater. In the year 1912-13, the sum of $1,895.89 was expended in the extension of the break- water. This addition has a length of Kill feet, is 25 feet in width, and has a height of from 15 to 20 feet. It is built of cribwork, and has a break on the seaward side 4 feet in height. In the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $1,199.98 was expended in placing new logs to bring the work level and in replanking the work for a distance of 75 feet long, 10 feet wide; the wharf which runs out from Fox island was raised from 0 to 3 feet for 80 feet in length by 25 feet in width, anil new planking ami fenders were also placed. Work was begun in July, ended November 8, 1913. FRENCH RIVER. French River. Victoria county, is a small settlement on that portion of ('ape Breton island, known as the "north shore" and is situated about midway between the harbours of St. Ann's and South Ingonish. , An isolated breakwater, 50 feet long and 27 feet wide, in from 6 to 7 feet at low water, and consisting of native timber cribwork, was constructed by the Department during 1891-92. to protect the landing beach, for the benefit of the fishermen of the district. Shortly after its completion, the work was damaged by ice and the work in to settle, and during 1S93-4 the work was repaired and re-ballasted, and a bed of brush loaded with stone was placed around it to prevent scour of the sandy bottom. but during 1S90 the woodwork was completely carried away, leaving the ballast on the site. During 1902-3, the sum of $391.82 was expended in constructing a breastwork along the beach and in front of the fisbbuts to protect them from the sea, to which they were exposed during stormy weather. This work is 140 feet in length, 8 feet in width and of a uniform depth of 5 feet. During the fiscal year ended March 31. 1914, a breakwater 200 feet in length and 16 feet in width, on top, with faces battering 1 in 8 and consisting of round- timber cribwork with creosoted timber substructure, fully ballasted and close-sheathed on all exposed faces, was constructed off the western end of the breastwork, for the protection of the landing beach. 19— iv— 3 34 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 FRENCH VILLAGE.

In 1904-5, the Department expended the sum of $2,037.07 in constructing a pile- wharf, 150 long, 25 feet wide, with an " L " on the outer end, giving a face length of 60 feet, and a depth at L.W.O.S.T., of about 18 feet. The shore approach to the wharf is a rock bank 50 feet long and from 3 to 6 feet high. In the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $386.98 was expended in general repairs to the wharf; the whole length of the work was replanked, 150 by 25 feet; new guard timbers and fenders were placed, several new piles and repairs to the approach were also completed. Work was begun in October, completed November 15. FRIAR'S HEAD. Friar's Head, Inverness county, is on the west coast of Cape Breton island, 6 miles to the northward of the entrance to Margaree harbour. A work, undertaken in 1900-1, to close an opening in a ledge of rock with the object of affording partial shelter to a small wharf and anchorage for boats, and com- pleted in 1902-3, consisted of a concrete wall, 90 feet in length, 4 feet in width on top and 8 feet in height from 1 foot above low water. In 1903-4, the wall was extended 13 feet and a wall 4 feet in height and 4 feet in width was constructed on its seaward side, to prevent undermining. During 1913-14, the sum of $251.56 was expended in repairing and strengthening the concrete wall, which had been damaged during a heavy gale. eruid's point. Fruid's point, Shelburne county, is situated about Zi miles northeast of Locke- port. In 1902, a small wharf, block and span, was constructed by this Department; but in 1906 the Halifax and Southwestern Eailway Company brought their rail- road lines near this wharf, locating a station within 250 yards of it. As the people i if Lockeport and its business interests could best be served from this locality, in 1906 the Department enlarged this wharf. During the past fiscal year, the sum of $3,796.13 was' expended in effecting repairs, and completing the extension. Work was commenced on August 1, and completed on November 29, 1913. The top was replaced, new planks, stringers and guard-rails being repaired. Besides this, an extension 70 feet long and 40 feet wide consisting of two 20-foot long cribs separate by two 15-foot spans, was constructed. The whole work consists of a rock bank some 112 feet in length, and 11.". feel of alter- nate block and span, constructed of solid cribwork, well tendered, fastened and ballasted. It is 26 feet high at the outside end, and has a common width of 40 jfeet. The work has been well done, and has been put in such a position that two railway tracks can be placed upon it. There is already one on the wharf, which has been in operation the last eight years; the ferry from Lockeport town calls daily. Spring tides rise 6-J feet; map. 4 feet. GABARUS. Gabarus bay. Capo Breton county, is on the Atlantic coast of Cape Breton island, and is 5 miles wide at the entrance between White point and Cape Gabarus. In 1901-2. a breakwater, extending 190 feet to 12i feet at low water was con- structed at Harbour point, near the head of the bay. The inner section 70 feet in length, is L6 feet in width, and the outer section. 120 foot in length, is 24 foot in iv REPORT OF TEE CEIEE ENGINEER 35 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 width on top. The inner section is constructed of native round-timber cribwork, and the outer section of square timber, close-faced., with creosoted timber sub- structure. A contract was entered into May 4, 1905, for the construction of an extension to the breakwater, 128 feet in length to 171 feet at low water, for the sum of $19,009; this extension consisted of an inner section 47£ feet long and 24 feet wide on top, and an outer section 80J feet long and 30 feet wide on top, built of square timber' laid close-faced, with ties of round timber, and with creosoted timber substructure, fully ballasted, tendered and close-sheathed on the seaward face at the outer end, and on the inner face for a distance of 15£ feet from the outer end. The work of construction on the extension was commenced on August 24 and completed on December 31, 1905. Spring tides rise 5 feet. During 1913-14, the sum of $599.77 was expended in the construction of a ware- house 24 by 12 feet, and in renewal of some floor-stringers and covering on the inner end of the work. GABARUS HARBOUR. Gabarus harbour, (Jape Breton county, is on the eastern side of and near the head of Gabarus bay, and is entered by a shoal and narrow channel; although its area is limited, it is of great value to the fishermen of the district. Several small amounts have been expended to improve the entrance but, owing to the existence of rock, it was found too expensive to improve, and a new channel was opened, 25 feet wide with a depth of from 2 to 3 feet at low water, which was afterwards completed to a depth of 3J feet at low water and a width of 30 feet at flip bottom. ' During the year 1911-12, materials to the amount of $499.60 were procured towards the construction of pile-brush and stone work for the protection of the beach which forms the harbour, and during the year ended March 31, 1914, the sum of $1,499.97 was expended in procuring the balance of materials required for, and in the construction of 1,430 lineal feet of work. The work is 5 feet wide and 6 feet deep. and is founded in a trench 2 feet in depth, excavated into the sand beach. GEORGEV1LLE. Georgeville, Antigonish county, is on the southern shore of Northumberland strait, 6J miles southwest of Cape George. In 1891-2, a wharf 207 feet long and 20 feet wide, with an " L " 20 feet by 20 feet, was constructed. In 1896-7-8, an extension of this work, 44 feet long, 40 feet wide, with an "L " on the eastern side 24 feet by 20 feet, was constructed. In 1903-4-5-6-7, a further extension, 98 feet long by 24 feet wide, was constructed, with an "L" 40 feet by 24 feet on western side of outer end. In 1907, the length of this wharf was 349 feet, and the widths as follows: Begin- ning at the inner end, 187 feet is 20 feet wide, from 187 to 227 is 40 feet wide, from. 227 to 251 is 60 feet wide, from 251 to 324 is 24 feet wide, and at 349 the outer face, including the " L/' is 64 feet wide. In 1909-10, the angle formed by the eastern " L " and the extension was filled by a triangular cribwork, fully ballasted and close-sheathed. In 1910-11, the sum of $793.34 was expended in raising the outer 60 feet of the wharf about 2 feet, and replacing some sheathing. In the autumn of 1912, a heavy northern gale destroyed the outer block and the. " L " (in all 88 feet by 24 feet) of this work. 19— iv— 3 A 36 DKIWUI \11.\1 OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 During L913-14, the sum of $430.09 was expended in temporary repairs: sheath- ing western face and outer end of old work, sheathing and ballasting the triangular I . in renewing some covering and reballasting portions of the work. GLAI I B \ S Bl H M. Glace Bay beach, Cape Breton county, is situated on the northern coast of Cape Breton island, between the towns of Glace Bay and Port Morien. During the year 1908-9, the Department constructed, under contract, a work to protect the public road crossing the beach at the head of Big Glace bay, and separat- ing the bay from the Big Glace lake. The work is 4,000 feet in length and consists of pile-work filled in with brush, as follows: Piles were driven 4 feet apart, centre to centre, transversely, and 5 feet apart, centre to centre, longitudinally, in a trench excavated to 2 feet below the level of high water. The space, longitudinally between the piles, was filled in to a height of 61 feet above the level of high water with small spru I ""I closely packed, after which the tups of the piles in each benl were connected with |-inch Tic rods. The total cosl of tin- work was $9,415.72. The brush filling, for a distance of about Tim Eeet, in the central and most exposed part of the work, was washed out by the sea during 1911-12, leaving the piles standing, and daring 1012-13. the sum of $647.16 was expended by day labour in replacing the brush on the washed out portion of the protection work.

Horton Landing, Kings county, is situated at the eastern cud of Kings county at the mouth of the Gaspereaux river, about midway between Avonport and Wolf- ville. It is a station on the Dominion Atlantic railway, and situated in the richest and most fertile agricultural district in the province. A wharf was built on the left bank, near the mouth of the river, by the Pro- vincial Government, from seventy to eighty years ago. This structure having fallen into decay and become so dilapidated as to be useless for shipping purposes, was rebuilt by the Department in the year 1888-9, at a cost of $2,252.88. The new struc- ture is built upon the site of the old. It is 172 feet long, 65 feet wide at the outer end and 23 feet 6 inches wide at the inner end. It is of open timber cribwork, well fendered, ballasted and covered with plank. The site is a safe and sheltered one, being near the mouth of the river, and though the work is dry at low water, owing to the great range of tide, from 40 to 4s feet, vessels drawing 18 feet can reach it at high water. In 1903-4, the sum of $70.20 was expended in renewing six mooring posts and a few planks in the floor. In 1913-14, the sum of $906.20 was expended for the purchase of timber for repairs and improvements to the wharf, but no actual work was undertaken on iint of the wharf being in use too late in the season. 40 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 INVERNESS. Inverness, formerly known as Broad Cove, Inverness county, is an incorpor- i mining town with a population of 3,500, on the northwester ast of Cape Breton island, about midw.ay between the harbours of Mabou and Margaree, and 60 miles from Port Hastings, on the strait of Canso, with which it is connected by rail. Mclsaac's pond, now Inverness harbour, i- separated from the Gulf of St. Lawrence by a sand beach about 400 feet in width. For the purpose of shipping '■'.al from the mines, many years ago, a company dredged a channel through the beach into the pond, and protected its sides with cribwork and pile-work, but aftar a few years the channel rilled up and was abandoned. Tin- property was bought by the Department with a view of re-opening and pro- tecting the channel. Durin feet in length on the beach to the eastward of thi entrance to prevent its wearing away with the action ol the sea during storms. [ON \. lona, Victoria county, i- on the northern side of Barra strait, which coin; the Great with the Little lira- d'Or lake. It is a station on the Intercolonial rail- way, and a landing place for the steamer, which, carrying mail- and passengers to and from Baddeek. connects twice a day with the express trains bound east and west. The old wharf, so called to distinguish it from the new wharf, built on th > of the railway bridge, was originally constructed by the Provincial Gov- ernment, but was acquired by the department, by which it was reconstructed and extended. The work is 195 feet in length on the western face and consists of an approach 129 feet long and 20 feet wide; of a span 24 feet in length, and of a '•head" 42 feet wide on the western, 22 feet wide on the eastern face ami To feet long on the channel face.

During the year 1913 II. the sum of $500.35 was expended in the renewal of covering and cap-timbers on the pilework and in repairs to the cribwork approach. IUIS \ I . Irish Cove, Cape Breton county, is on the southeastern shore of the Greal Bra d'Or lake, near the entrance into East bay. The works are: a wharf, completed in 1892-3, and the diversion of a brook in 1907-8. The wharf is a block and span structure of native timber, 161 feet in length and 20 feet in width, consisting of a shore abutment 47 feet in length; a central block 20J feet in length, and an outer block, 57 feet in length with an "L" 20 by 20 feet. The depth at the outer end is 12J feet at low or 13J feet at high lake level. A brook flowing through low meadow to the shore and thence in an easterly direction, between the shore and a beach of shingle which had gradually extended to within 270 feet of the wharf, was closed (in 1907-8) by the construction of a cribwork dam 40 feet in length and diverted by a new channel straight through the beach at a point 550 feet to the westward of the wharf. During the fiscal year 1909-10, the sum of $964.52 was expended, $614.75 in repairs to the wharf, including the renewal of 145 piles of the close-piling of the outer block and 4,800 feet b.m. of covering, and $349.95 in constructing a work of brush, stone and piles extending inward, along the east hank of tin' brook, 240 feet from the dam, to prevent the brook from cutting through the low meadow land and resuming its former easterly direction. During 1910-11, the sum of $600.31 was expended on the works; $416.20 in extending the dam on the eastern side of the brook, a distance of 250 feet, and $184.11 in placing' and securing 43 new pieces of close-piling on weak portions of the blocks in the wharf. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1014. the sum of $199.86 was expended in urgent repairs to the wharf, consisting of close-sheathing the outer faces of two blocks, in raising some of the floor-stringers and in the renewal of the- wharf covering where absolutely necessary. JEDDORE. Jeddore, Oyster Ponds, Halifax county, is the name given to a settlement of some 500 people, situated at the head of Jeddore harbour. The principal industries are farm- ing and lumbering. During the fiscal year 1905-6, the Department expended the sum of $1,185.11 in the construction of a block and span wharf, 11-1 feet long, comprising a stonework approach 35 feet long, 20 feet wide and 8 feet high; .". .-pans of 13 feet each, and three blocks of substantial cribwork, two of them 11 by l'ii feet and the other one i'l by 21 feet, at t be fai f which there is 12 feet of water at L.W.O.S.T. In the fiscal year 1913-14, the Department expended the sum of $168.26 in replacing five mooring posts and new caps on sides and ends of the work. About :!uii feet of ne-fl covering was placed anil a crane with blocks and chain was supplied. The work was begun in December and finished January 6, 1914. JONES HARBOUR. Jones Harbour is situated about 22 miles northeast of Shelburne town, and i- on tin- eastern extremity of Shelburne county. The population is about 150, but there are at various seasons of the year from 50 to 60 fishermen who use this little inlet for the purpose of carrying on their industry. 42 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 The shipping at this point consists entirely of fishing boats, there being at times about 50 employed here. During the lobster season, small steamers call for the purpose of obtaining lobsters for the various markets. The boats used here range from one-half to in tons burden, and average about $300 per boat in value. The nature of the work was the removal of a number of boulders from the channel to the Government wharf. Its object was to place the channel in such condition that it could be used at all times of tide, with every assurance of safety. During the fiscal year 1912-13, about 1T."> tons of stone, consisting principally of small boulders, were removed, while in the year 1911-12, 125 tons were removed. During the past year, this work was completed, there being 348 cubic yards of stone removed, at a cost of $7.25 per yard, or about $3 per ton. The character of the stone that was removed is blue whin, or trap, which is an exceedingly heavy quality of stone, about 11J cubic feet equalling a ton in weight. Work was commenced on June 3, 1913, and completed on July 1, 1913. Spring tides rise here 7 feet; neap, 4i feet. kelly's cove. Kelly's Cove, Yarmouth county, about 3 miles south, of the town of Yarmouth. About a century ago it was the harbour of the place, and around its shores was all that constitutes the. town. Some years before Confederation, the Provincial Government built a breakwater, 97 Feet long 231 feet wide and 16 feet high at the outer end. The first expenditure by the Department appears to have been in 1897-8, wlm the old work was partially rebuilt. A full account of the departmental expenditures from 1905 to 1913 may be found in the departmental report of 1912-13. In 1913-14. the sum of $49.37 was expended in filling up a gap, about 15 inches wide, between the older portion of the breakwater and the extension built some three years ago; the new block having been shifted slightly by a great storm in January, 1913. Petty repairs were also made to the floor of the outer portion of the breakwater. Wore extensive repairs are still required. KINGSPORT. King-port, Kings county, is a village of some 500 people, on the southwest side of the Basin of Minas, between the mouth of the Cornwallis river and Cape Blomidon. It is the terminus of a branch of the D.A.Ry. running to Kentville, 14 miles to the south. A pier. 44."> feet long, of pile-work, stood here when the harbour was taken in charge by the Department of Public Works. The first work done by the Department was in 1873-4, when the eastern or exposed side of the wharf was protected with crib- work. Since this date, several expenditures have been made in repairs and renewals, of which a full account will be found in the departmental report for 1911-12 In 1912-13, the -urn of $38(1.9:. was expended in emergent repairs to the floor of the pier.

Work begun in May, and final return forwarded January 21, 1914. While the pile driver was on its way from East Chezzetcook to Kraul point, i1 was overturned and considerably damaged, and the Department expended the sum of $400 in pumping the pile driver out and in making' the necessary repairs. l'ardoise. L'Ardoise, Richmond county, is on the eastern side of St. Peter's bay, near its entrance from the Atlantic ocean, and about 9 miles to the eastward of the southern entrance to St. Peter's canal. The outer 400 feet of the breakwater at Martin's point, originally isolated but connected with the mainland in 1903-4-5, consisted of a crib work core, placed over the remains of a former structure, covered with stone sloping 3 to 1, on the seaward side and at the outer end, and 2 to 1 on the inner side, and having a concrete wall, founded at 4 feet above extreme low water, over the cribwork core on the seaward side and at the outer end, 3 feet in width on top and 4J feet in height, with the top flush with the surface of the stone covering. Slight disturbances of the stone covering took place yearly from 1900 up to the winter of 1904-5, when during a furious gale, large masses of ice were thrown against the structure, destroying the covering stone, cutting several gaps through the concrete wall and covering and destroying the cribwork foundation of the concrete wall in places. In 1906-7-8-9, a new wall of large stones and concrete, founded 2J feet above extreme low water, was constructed outside of and close against the concrete wall on the seaward side and at the outer end, with the exception of 27 feet on the seaward side, 9 to 36 feet from the outer end, and the covering stones were replaced. During the fiscal year 1910-11, the sum of $2,515.49 was expended in completing the stone and concrete wall on the seaward side 9 to 36 feet from the outer end; in replacing ballast and covering stones on each side of it; in constructing a concrete wall to protect the stone and concrete wall at the outer end and on the seaward side over a distance of 9 feet from the outer end, and in replacing the covering stones of the slope on the seaward side over a distance of 138 feet from the inner end outward and on the inner side over a distance of 168 feet from the outer end inward. During 1912-13, the sum of $799.94 was expended in filling in some gaps in the concrete wall on the seaward face of the breakwater with concrete, in order to make it secure until a large appropriation can be obtained to repair the work thoroughly, and during 1913-14, the sum of $1,250 was expended in completing the repairs to the concrete wall on the seaward face of the breakwater, commenced during 1912-13. larry's cove. Larry's cove. Halifax county, is situated just east of the entrance of St. Mar- garet's bay, 36 miles west by water from Halifax. It is hemmed in on either side by a high rough shore. The population is about 100, and the principal industry is fishing. During the months of September. October, and November, 278 yards of boulders were removed from the boat channel to give a depth of 6 feet at low water The expenditure for the fiscal year was $603.73. 44 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC 1Y0RK& iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 Leonard's cove. Leonard's cove, Annapolis county, is a slighl indentation in the coast line of the tas1 side of the Hay of Fundy, -■ miles easl of Parker's Cove. The popula- eomprises about 100 people, engaged in fishing and farming. In 1911-12, the department expended the sum of $1,277.98 in beginning the con- struction of a breakwater and in the purchase of timber for it- extension, for the protection of the fishing fleet. The work built last year was 50 Eee1 long, 20 feet wide., and from 5 to 10 feet high. In 1912-13, the sum of $899.88 was expended in extending the breakwater built last year, by a block of substantia] cribwork, 60 feel long, 20 to 27 feet wide, and from 11 to L6 feet high. Spring tides rise about 24 feet. In 1913-14, the sum of $1,014.52 was expended in the completion of the break- water partially built in 1912-13. The whole work is now 111 feet long, from 1- to 26 feel wide, and from •! to 17 feet high. LINGAN BEACH. Lingan. or Bridgeport harbour, Cape Breton county, is at the head of Indian Imy. on the northeast coast of < 'ape Breton island,, about 5 miles to the eastward of the entrance to Sydney harbour. A large pond or basin, having a depth of 8 feet at low or li feet at high water, is separated from the Indian bay by a beach of sand. Flic entrance, which forms the harbour, was deepened and straightened by dredging in 1878-80, ti. improve faeilties for shipping coal from the Lingan mines, since abandoned. It is now crossed by a bridge built by the Provincial Government, for the accommodation of traffic over the beach between Lingan and Bridgeport. A work of brush and stone, 1,900 feet in length, constructed in ISTn-s. afforded sufficient protection to the beach up to 1893, but has since been carried away, in places, over distances aggregating 1,400 feet. In 1901-2, L902-3, and L903-4, the sum of $3,597.54 was expended in reconstruct- ing 1.9Q0 feet of brush and stone work, in extending it 80 feet and in constructing a crosswall of brush and -tone, 300 feet in length, between it and the bridge. During the fiscal year 1904-5, the sum of $999.98 was exnended in extending the beach protection work 350 feet to the entrance, and in raising it. 1 foot 3 inches 500 feet, and 2 feel over 300 feel of the length. During 1913-14, the sum of $3,999.99 was expended by day labour in the recon- struction of 1, ton lineal feet of brush and stone embankment, in feet wide on top, sloping '. to l at the side and if an average heighl of I I'eet.

Little Anse, Richmond county, is a boal harl c on the eastern coast of Petit de Gral island, which lies to the eastward of Mm. lame island off the southern coast - I ape Breton island. On September 25, L911, a contract was entered into in the sum of $21,! for the construction of a breakwater off Birch point on the northern side of the entrance to the harbour, for the protection of the anchorage inside. The work of construction was common 1 on June 17, L912; steady progress was made up to December 28, when the work was visited by an unusually heavy gale accompanied by a tidal wave, which caused heavy damage. The work was then secured for the winter and operations were suspended and at that time the work in place was as follows: — The approach of stone was completed; the whole of the creosoted timber sub- structure of the cribwork was placed and secured, and the superstructure was com pleted to within 100 feet of the outer end. The work was resumed on April 1", 101", and was tin. illy completed and accepted on August 20, 1913. The work is GOO feet in length and extends to 12 feet at low water, and consists of stone approach 80 feet long and 20 feet wide, and of a round-timber cril extension with creosoted timber substructure, 520 feet in length, 20 feet wide for a 1 nee of 400 feet, and 24 feet wide for the remaining distance. The cribwork has been filled in solidly with ballast, and its seaward face and outer end have been close- sheathed. LITTLE BRAS D'OR The Little Bras d'Or channel, Cape Breton nty, is a narrow and winding pas- sage on the eastern side of Boulardarie island, connecting St. Andrew's channel, an arm of the Bras d'Or lakes, with the Atlantic, entering the latter on the eastern cos i 1't' Cape Breton island, at a point about 5 miles to the northward of the entrance to Sydney harbour. The passage is about •"> miles in length, and ha.- a width averaging 600 feet and a depth of from ■': to i fathoms, excepting at its entrance from the Atlantic, where it is obstructed by a bar. which carries but 7 feet at low water. On AprillO. I!il2. a contract was awarded to Messrs. MeNutt and Landry for the con truetion of a breakwater, extending from the mainland to the eastern side of and along the edge of the dredged channel to prevent the sand from being carried by the sea mto the harbour inside I lie bar. The work of construction was commenced on June 12. 1913, and was completed ami accepted on November 29. The breakwater is 360 feet in length, with a return 100 feet in length, and 20 width on top. consisting of continuous round-timber cribwork, with creo timber substructure, rilled solidly with ballast ami fendered and close-sheathed on the seaward side Dredging. The object of the dredging at this place is to obtain a channel, 120 feet wide and to i depth of 20 feet at low water over the bar at the entrance, and a channel 80 feet wide and with 18 feet at low water, in continuation thereof, inside of the liar, the former 2,400 feet and the hitter 2,100 feet in length, to permit the passage at all times of tide, of vessels mid st( inner- engaged in the coal-carrying trade from and to the newly opened coal mines at the western end of the passage. The work was commenced by the Government dredge Gape Breton, during 1010-11, and continued for a few months during each year since, and would have been completed 46 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 during the year ended March 31, 1914, but for a serious break in the machinery, which necessitated the suspension of operations. The operations during 1913-14 were com- menced on July 17, 1913, and continued until October 9, following, and during that period, 42,350 cubic yards, scow measure, of mud, sand, and rock were removed. The survey made after the suspension of operations showed that the amount of material removed is 31,500 cubic yards in place, and the expansion was about 32 per cent. LITTLE LORRAINE. Dredging. Little Lorraine, Cape Breton county, is situated on the eastern coast of Cape Breton island, 7 miles to the north-eastward of Louisburg harbour. The harbour is about three-quarter of a mile in length and is divided into an outer and inner harbour by a gravel beach projecting from the eastern side. A sandbar, with a maximum depth of 6| feet at low water, stretches across the outer harbour, about 600 feet south of the entrance to the inner one. In order to permit steamers of small draft to enter this harbour and enable fisher- men to ship fish directly to Halifax, instead of boating them to Louisburg to be transhipped, it was decided to deepen the channel across the bar; on September 22, 1913, a contract was entered into with the Atlantic Dredging Company, Ltd., for the removal of 40,500 cubic yards, scow measure, at the rate of 30 cents per cubic yard. Operations were commenced on September 6, 1913, and continued until December 4 following, when the work was completed and the quantities of materials removed, and the rates for the different classes of work are as follows : — 40,900 cubic yards, scow measure, of sand, mud, gravel and stone, at 30 cents $12,270 00 49-19 cubic yards, of rock and boulders. 2 yards and over, at $0 295 14 $12,565 14 The work done consists in the dredging of a channel to a depth of 12 feet at low water, 2,375 feet in length, of which the outer section, 1,350 feet in length, is 100 feet wide, and the inner section, 1,025 feet, is 125 feet wide. The quantity of material, in place, removed is 32,100 cubic yards and the expan- siou factor is 27i per cent. LITTLE NARROWS. Little Narrows, Victoria county, is on the south side of Little Narrows, a contrac- tion of St. Patrick's channel, an arm of the Bras d'Or lakes, at a point about 7 miles to the eastward of Whycocomagh, and 15 miles to the westward of the town of Baddeck. The original wharf was constructed by the department during 1887-8, and con- of an approach of st 1" Eeel long and 20 feet wide on top; a cribwork block, 47 A feet long and 20 feet wide, and a native timber pile extension, 72 feet long and 20 feet wide, with an " L " 40 feet long and 20 feet wide on the western side of its outer, end and after its i o ietion, a warehouse was built on the western side of the shore abutment. Owing to damage by the teredo, during 1897-8, it was found necessary to reconstruct the outer end; a " T " head, 60 feet in length, was substituted for the outer 20 feet of the wharf and " L," and the Inn ring piles in three bents of the approach were renewed. During 1901-2, extensive repairs were again made and in 1902-3, the head was ided outwards a distance of 12 feet with pile-work. iv REPORT OF THE GRIEF ENGINEER 47 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 During the year 1908-9, the sum of $2,046.40 was expended in procuring all the materials required for and in reconstructing the pile-work with creosoted timber. The new works extend to 18 feet at low lake level, and consist of an approach 52 feet long and 20 feet wide, with a " T " head, 60 feet long on the channel face and 32$ feet wide; all bearing, fender, and mooring piles and braces, walings and lower chocks being of creosoted timber. .During the year 1912-13, the sum of $100 was expended in the partial recon- struction of the cribwork block at the inner cud of the pile-work, which was origin- ally built during 1887-8, and during 1913-14, the sum of $250 was expended in completing the reconstruction of the cribwork block, commenced during 1912-13. LITTLE KIVER. Little River, Digby county, is situated on St. Mary's bay, on the inner or eastern side of the peninsula known as Digby Neck. It is about 5 miles northeast from Petite Passage, and 25 miles by road southwest from Digby town. Within a radius of about 2 miles is a population of four or five hundred, engaged in fishing and farming. A fish canning and curing establishment has an annual output of the value of about $8,000. Small steamers between Weymouth, Meteghan, and St. John, and some minor ports on St. Mary's bay call at the place about four time week. . For a full account of work at this place from 1910 to 1913, see animal report for 1912-13. In 1913-14. the sum of $147.70 was spent in the removal of a small quantity of rock that obstructed the approach to the breakwater, and in the repair of the dry rubble wall that protected the road approach. LIVERPOOL. Liverpool is the shire town of Queens county, situated at the head of Liver- pool bay. It has a population of about 2,800 people, and is a most important ship- pi ng port on the southern coast of Nova Scotia. The total tonnage using the port was between thirty-eight and forty thousand. The number of vessels owned in Liverpool is about eighty-five, ranging from 9 to 250 tons burden each; the total tonnage owned in the port being in the vicinity of 9,000. During the fiscal year 1912-13, the dredge Canada was engaged the entire son in removing 106,860 cubic yards, scow measurement, of material. During the past fiscal year, she began work in Liverpool on May 26, and suspended it for the season on July 26, 1913. During that time, she removed 15,800 cubic yards. In making a report last year upon this work, it was estimated that 3.500 cubic yards, place measurement, or 4,200 cubic yards, scow measurement, were necessary to be removed in order to temporarily join the outside and inside portions of the channel. This channel, however, seems to be continually filling up, so that considerable of the discrepancy between the actual amount taken and what was estimated, must be ounted for in that way. The expansion factor in this particular case was very large, and since August, 1913, when a survey was made, from opposite the marine slips, it shows depths at L.W.O.S.T. from 13-2 to 13-4 feet; there has been a vast amount of filling in. so that on April 3, 1914. the channel was again sounded, and. for a considerable distance, only 10 feet depth was found, showing a filling in of from 31 to 4 J feet since August, and the bar across the harbour which extends from the black buoy, to midway between the marine slip and what is called (lie steamship wharf, has been rendered unnavigable to any sized vessels. Spring tides rise here 6 feet; neap, 3J feet. Material removed consisted of mud and sawdust. 43 DEP r OF I'l /.'/./' WORKS iv 5 george v.. a. 1915 Livingston's i Livingsl '-. ish county, i? situated on the southern shore of Northum- berland Strait, ahout 2 miles southwest of Cape George.

LOI M FORT. I I . | it. Shelburne county, is an it vn of about 950 people, situ: on the Atlantic sea-board, about llo miles south west of Halifax, and 80 miles east- southeast of Yarmouth. Fishing i- practically the only, and main industry. Lockeport being the pivotal centre of the fishing industry along this shore, and considerable development has taken place there, whilst the prospects for the future seem excellent. The shipping consists of about twenty-one small schooners, ranging from 20 to 60 tons, ooners of 100 tons burden each, about 150 beats ranging from one-half b tons burden, and four small steamers free, I feet iu length over all, the entiri which an I in connection with the lobstering, herring, and cod fisheries. In the summer months, it i- a pert of call for a large number of the American fishing schooners seeking bait. During the last summer, ovi c $20,000 of such were sold to American and I interests. The value of the shipping in Lockeport is $150,000. These small vessels make from forty to sixty trips per year, but only appear on the Customs returns, from which the tonnage is calculated, twice during the said year, which makes the busim - Her than it is. Iti order to improve the harbour, during the last fiscal year the department began the i ot channel to a depth of 15 feet at L.W.O.S.T.. and the an anchorage basil t wide and 1,200 feet Ions', situated and join- ing the southern side of the said channel: also the widening of the channel along the wharf fn eet. Work was commenced by the Canada on duly 29, and ceased December 30, 1913, during which period 83,000 cubic yard-, scow measurement, were removed, being about one-half the work which was outlined, there being required 167,088 cubic yard-, scow measuremi moval. The material is composed mostly of -and and mud. the outside 500 feet being composed of hard sand, the inside 200 f< el of a mixture of sand and mud. and the balance of soft mud.

It is the site of a small lobster hatchery, maintained by the Marine and Fisheries Department. The lobster pond is connected with St. kary's bay by a channel, on either side of which there is a cribwork protection to keep the channel open and free from sand and gravel The place boasts of no permanent population. In 1913-14, the sum of $300 was expended by the department in raising and repairing this cribwork protection on the seaward side of the entrance channel, and in the removal, by hand digging, of some 300 yards of sand and gravel which had accumulated in the channel, thereby obstructing the entrance of boats to the pond at high water. The work was satisfactorily completed. LONG COVE. Long cove. Queen's County, is situated about 'I1, miles southwesl of Port Medway. It is a long narrow cove, jutting into an indentation of the coast on the southern side of Port Medway harbour. The chief industry is lobstering, but a considerable number of men in the summer time are engaged in other fishing. In order to further encourage the fishing industry, and to afford better accommodation, the construction of a breakwater was commenced during the past fiscal year. The sum of $3,628.28 was expended. The work was commenced August 27. and terminated November 29, 1913. The first 350 feet in length of this work was completed, leaving 100 feet yet to be constructed. When finished, this work will be 450 feet in length, constructed of the usual round-log, continuous cribwork, ballasted to the top, well fendered, and fastened. It is 4 feet above H.W.O.S.T., is 14 feet wide on top with a batter on the outside of 1 to 6 and on the inside of 1 to 12, so that the average width is about 15 feet. It varies in height, the first 80 feet in length having a height of from 2 to 4 feet, the next 80 feel from 4 to 6 feet, the next 80 feet from 14 to 10 feet, and the lasl 210 feel in length from 8 to 1<) feet. The third section of 80 feet in length shows a greater height than the outside end, the reason being that there is a gap between the two lodge; along which this work is being constructed. It is situated on the northern side of the cove, running at an angle of about forty degrees from the general direction of the. said cove, and partially across the same, so as to prevent the undertow from raking the inside of the harbour, and to create the necessary shelter. The materia] lias boon of good quality, the workmanship excellent, and so far progress has been very satisfactory. Spring tides rise 7 feet: neap, 5 feet. LOUIS HEAD. Louis Head, Shelbimie county, is situated at the head of the mouth of the Sable river, a distance of about 5 miles from Lockeport railway station. It has a population of about 350, who are practically all fishermen, a few being engaged in rough farming. There arc about thirty-five fishing boats drawing from 3 to 4 feet of water, the greater number of which arc equipped with motor power. This number is materially increas in'., and a larger obi-- of boats i- being used, better facilities for anchorage having 1m in afforded them. The present breakwater was built in 1892, it being then 150 feet long, 20 foot wide on top. with a batter of riprap on the outside, il i< composed of continuous cribwork. iliod en the outside, having a height of 23 feet at the outer end: besides this, for its entire length, there i- a timber break 1 \ feet high, built of 10- by 12-ineh timbers laid one ii] the other, separate from the outside by 10- by 12-inch posts, and on the inside by heavy timber knee-, by means of which latter it is fastened to the main structure. 19— iv — i 50 DEPARTMENT OF PI BLIC WORKS' iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 lu the fiscal year 1912-13, the amount of $4,099.96 was expended in repairing the old work and extending it 65 feet in length. Scouring around the outer end of the new work, which rested in 14 feet of water at L.W.O.S.T., took place, so that the outer crib settled about 3 feet. During the past fiscal year, the sum of $698.48 was expended in rebuilding the outside 65 feet in length of this breakwater to a height of 4 feet, replanking and restringering 100 feet in length of the old breakwater, and adding about 300 tons of ballast in places where formerly it was deficient. The work commenced on September 4 and was completed on October 17, 1913. Spring tides rise 7 feet; neap, 4J feet. LOWER PROSPECT. Lower Prospect, Halifax county, is a small fishing village 20-miles west of Halifax by post road, and 5 miles west of Sambro by water. The population is about 300. The chief industry is fishing, and large catches of mackerel and herring are taken at this place. It is also a centre for lobster fishing, during that season. These people were labouring under great difficulties as, in order to ship their fish, they were com- pelled to hold them in boats until the steamer called, and imports had to be transferred from sailing vessel or steamer to small boats. In the fiscal year 1913-14, the department expended the sum of $1,482.62 in the construction of a pile-work wharf, 80 feet long by 25 feet wide, and with an average height of 19 feet. Work was begun in August and completed on September 27, 1913. LOWER SHIP HARBOUR. Lower Ship Harbour is situated on the Atlantic coast of Halifax county, 50 miles east of the city of Halifax. It is a large, well sheltered harbour, about 5J miles in length and 1J miles in width. At the head of the harbour, where there is a settlement of about 400, a large lumbering industry is carried on, the average cut annually being seven millions of feet. The settlement at Lower Ship Harbour is situated about. 4 miles below the head, and is a thrifty and flourishing fishing and farming village of about 500 people. During the fiscal year of 1905-6, the department expended the sum of $1,947.34 in the construction of a block and span wharf. The wharf is 80 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 20 feet high at the outer end, where at L.W.O.S.T. there is a depth of 11 feet of water. At the outer end of the work is an " L " 80 feet long by 20 wide. The approach c insists of a stone bank 50 feet long, 20 feet wide, and of an average height of 8 feet. A small freight shed was built on the outer end of the wharf. In the fiscal year 1913-14. the sum of $489.75 was expended in repairs to the wharf, consisting of new planking over an area of 60 by 20 feet and 30 by 20 feet, new stringers (6 pieces), 200 feel new capping, and 28 fender-, 26 feet long. The freight shed was moved to suit the convenience of shippers, and was covered with 3-ply felt and was painted. An approach of stone 2(1 by 10 by 6 feel was also built. Work was begun in July, and was completed in September. 1913. LOWER WEST PUBNICO. Lower West Pubnico, Yarmouth county, is a thrifty and thickly populated fishing distriet. situated on the west side of Pubnico harbour, from 30 to 35 miles southeast from Yarmouth. A full account of the expenditures covering the period from 1902 to 1912 may be found in the annual report for 1911-12. In 1913-14, the department expended the sum of $779.93 in repairing and renew- ing the floor of the outer 100 feet of the length of the wharf. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 51 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 mcara's brook. McAra's brook, Antigonish county, is a small stream entering Northumberland strait :i miles west of Arisaig. In 1887, the sum of $299.78 was expended in making a boat landing by levelling off a portion of a large rock, and in building a eribwork approach 75 feet long. This approach was destroyed in 1890 and rebuilt in 1891 at an expenditure of $590.28. In 1911-12, the sum of $680.57 was expended in rebuilding the eribwork, in placing 6-inch hardwood sheathing on its seaward face, and in constructing a retaining wall and road, from the eribwork to the top of the bank. During 1913-14, the sum of $1,483.97 was expended in levelling and removing rock, in building 45 feet of eribwork extension, and in securing material for the con- struction of a further concrete extension of 45 feet. mckay's point.

The breakwater at McKay's point, commenced in 1898 and completed in 1900, is 725 feet in length and 20 feet in width, with an "L" 20 by 20 feet at the outer end. of round timber, laid open-faced, with ereosoted timber substructure, close-fendered around the outer end and "L" and protected on the seaward side by a talus of stone. The depth at extreme low water, at the outer end, is 6 feet. Spring tides rise 4J feet. During the fiscal year 1908-9, the sum of $1,358.99 was expended in cutting down to low water and reconstructing the outer block, and in placing quarried stone in the talus, on the seaward side over a distance of 100 feet from the " L " inwards. During the fiscal year 1910-11, the sum of $1,226.59 was expended in constructing a road, 1,600 feet long, between the breakwater and the public road. During 1913-14, the sum of $98.50 was expended in renewing the covering where necessary, and in repairs to the timber-break on the eastern side of the work. mcnair's cove. McNair's cove, Antigonish county, is situated on the west side of St. George's bay, 2 miles south of cape George. In 1S72-3-4, a breakwater was built on the north side of thi ve, 400 feet long and 20 feet wide. In 1879, most of this was carried away. In 1883, 70 feet of the shore end was rebuilt and, In ISsl, this work was extended 94 feet, but this extension was carried away in the spring of 1885. In 18S6-7-S. the bottom of damaged work was dredged, and a new work, 169 feet long, 32 feet wide on top. with a sloping face on seaward side of 8 feet wide and slop- ing 1 to 1, was constructed, making the total length of the breakwater 330 feet to a depth of 12 feet at L.W.S. at the outer end. The work previous to 1SSS was entirely of native timber, and had been weakened by the teredo. In the years 1890 to 1894, the outer end and the faces for 20 feet in. were pro- tected by ereosoted close-piling, and the seaward face by a talus of quarried stone. In the year- 1897 to 1901, the sloping face was reconstructed from low water, and close-fendered witli hardwood timber, and the talus was raised to the top of the fendering. 19— iv — » 52 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS i\ 5 GEORGE V..

Mabou harbour, Inverness county, i- on the west side of Cape Breton island, 0 mile- northeast from Port Hood. The entrance was formerly at the southern extremity of a range of hills, and by an intricate channel, obstructed by a bar over which there was a depth of only 1 feet at extreme low water. The opening of a new channel through the -and hills, at their northern extremity, was undertaken in 1S72. A pier. 835 feet in length on the southern side of the new nuel, was completed in 1876, and the same year, the old channel was closed. Expenditures were made nearly every year from 1876 to 1899 in dredging, in repairs to the piers, the construction of brush and stone work-; on tin- southern side, and of protection work on the northern side of the channel. On the completion of the work undertaken in 1908-9, the works included : On the south side, the remains of a pier B35 feet in length and -2" feet in width, founded in about 12 feet at extreme low 'water, sloping from about 10 feet below extreme low water at the fare to 2 feet above extreme low water at the back. A brush and stone work, of various widths, extending outwards from the outer end of the pier about 1.600 feet, the inner end of which was 8 feet above the outer end. 5 feet below low water. Brush and stone work at the back of the pier. 800 feet in length, !<' feel to 1- in width ini top, and 8 feet in average height. Bru>h and stone work 330 feet in length, from 1 to 5 feet above high w; tig the former entrance. On the north side, 5 piles and brush groynes, four of which are from 75 in length, and one 4,"> feet. In 1903, the minimum depth at extreme low water over the bar. about 600 Feel outwards, from the head of the pier, was 6 feet 3 inches. In July. 1906, the depth over the bar was increased to 16 feet according to reports on dredging in L906-7. This th bad decreased to 13 feet in November, 1007. and :i feel in July. 1908. iv ItEPORT OF TEE CHIEF ENGINEER 53 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 During the year 1910-11, the brush and stone work, which extends from the outer end of the pier, was raised over n distance of 370 feet from its inner end, and during i:u 1-12, the sum of $ I. ii'iii.iiii was expended hy day labour in the extension of the work for a distance of 135 feet. During the year ended March 31, 1913, the reconstruction of the breakwater on the southern side of the entrance, commenced during 1910-11 and continued during 1911-12, was continued, and the sum of $1,099.85 was expended by day labour in its extension. The new work consists of a brush and stone core up to high water springs, 12 feet wide on top, with sides sloping one to two, and a talus and covering of heavy quarried stone, 9 feet wide at a height of 3 -J feet above high water springs, with sides sloping 2 to 1. and top rounded off to a height of 4A feet above high water springs. During the year 1913-14, the sum of $399.94 was expended in repairs to the groynes or jetties on the northern side of the entrance, by the renewal of piles, brush, and stone, where they had been damaged by ice. MABOU BRIDGE. Dredging. Mabou village, Inverness county, is on the northern sideofthe Mabou river, where it is crossed by a highway bridge at the head of navigation, about 5 miles from its entrance into the gulf of St. Lawrence, at a point about 10 miles to the northward of Port Hood, the shire-town of the county. At the head of navigation and immediately below the highway bridge, the depart- ment constructed a small wharf to accommodate local traffic, and for a landing place for small coasting steamers, which ply along these shores during the season. In order to facilitate the turning of vessels and steamers in front of the wharf, during 1912-13 an arrangement was entered into with the Atlantic Dredging Co., Ltd., of Louisburg, to dredge a basin 150 feet wide and 500 feet long, to a depth of 10 feet at low water; and during the season, the dredge Pepperell accomplished the work by the removal of 14,400 cubic yards, scow measure, of mud. at the rate of 30 cent-, per cubic yard, involving an expenditure of $4,320. As the channel of the river immediately below the basin was not wide enough to permit the passing, during low water, of two small vessels, coming from opposite directions, it was decided to widen the channel to 50 feel and to a depth of 10 feet at low water, over a distance averaging about 2,000 feet. The Atlantic Dredging Company's dredge Pepperell commenced operations on July l.">. 1913, and continued until July 29, when the work was completed, and during thai period removed 9,934 cubic yards, scow measure, of mud. which, at the rate of 30 cents per cubic yard, cost $2,880. The actual amount of material removed during 1913-14, is 8,090 cubic yard- ill place, and the expansion was 14.30 per cent. MATT LAND. Maitland, Hants county, has a population id' about 1,5(10. and is situated at the entrance to the Shubenacadie river, which empties into the Basin of Minas, a laige estuary of the Bay of Fundy. To facilitate the crossing of the river, the department expended, during the year 1897-8, the sum of $996.76 in the construction of a ferry wharf of cribwork, 170 feet long and 20 feet wide. In 1898-9, the sum of $202:45 was expended in extending ami finishing this work. Between the years ls73 and 1876, the department spent $6,342 in the construct Ln of a public wharf, and since that date an additional sum of $2,142.76 has been expended 54 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 in repairs to this work. During the year 1911-12, the sum of $142.11 was expended in the purchase of planking and material for much needed repairs to the top of the wharf. In the year 1912-13, the sum of $499.45 was expended; $77.20 of this amount was for repairs made with the material procured during 1911-12, and $422.25 was spent in procuring further material for repairs to be made in 1913-14. In the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $491.42 was expended in completing repairs to the public wharf ; 3,500 feet of new planking was placed; 150 ballast poles were laid, with 60 tons of ballast; five new fenders, guard-timbers and three new ladders were placed; new crane was supplied, and the approach to the wharf was repaired where it had been broken by an unusually high tide. Work begun in October and completed December, 1913. Half a mile distant from this work, at a small village called Maitland Ferry Landing, in the year 1913-14, the department expended the sum of $1,408.42 in the partial construction of a ferry wharf. A length 100 by 30 feet in width was built, 18 feet of this distance is 16 feet high ; at the outer end the slope is 4 feet high and 12 feet wide. The wharf is of pilework covered with 3-inch plank, and lias an approach 78 feet in length from the public highway to the structure. The work has been secured for the winter, and will be completed under the 1914-15 appropriation. The completed work will measure 100 feet in length by 30 in width, and out of this will be a 12-foot slip to give protection to teams and automobiles using the ferry. The work was begun in August and suspended in October, 1913. MALIGNANT COVE. Malignant cove, Antigonish county, is on the southeastern shore of Northumber- land strait, 10 miles southwest of Cape George. In the bight of the cove, separated from the strait by a gravel beach from 100 to 200 feet wide at high water, and at the crest about 44 feet above that level, lies a pond, fed by a small stream; a shifting channel connects this pond with the sea. In 1900-1-2, a channel 30 feet wide at the bottom, 2 feet below low water, was cut through the beach, and cribwork piers on each side of this opening, 60 feet apart and extending 248 feet inward, through the beach, and 90 feet outward to 7 feet at L.W.S., were constructed. These piers were founded at low water ; the inner piers are 10 feet wide on top, the outer piers are 16 feet wide for 60 feet, and 28 feet wide for 30 feet. The piers are of round native timber cribwork, fully ballasted, and their outer ends and channel faces are close-sheathed with 6-inch hardwood plank. In 1902-3-4, the western pier was extended CO feet inward with a crib 10 feet wide on top. to prevent the re-opening of an old channel, and a cribwork, 109 feet long and 1 B feet wide, was constructed along the crest of the beach to the eastward, to prevent the sea from going over the beach. The teredo damaged the outer end of the piers and, in 1904-5, those ends were protected temporarily with native hardwood piling, and during 1905-6-7, the outer ends of the piers and sides, for 30 feet in from the outer ends, were close-piled with creosoted timber. In 1908-09, the sum of $3,765.63 was expended in purchasing creosoted timber for the construction of blocks 30 feet by 24 feet, to strengthen the outer ends of the piers, which were becoming weakened. In 1910-11, the sum of $1,057.44 was expended in closing a breach in the beach, and removing sand from the channel. In 1911-12, no expenditure was made. During this year, very heavy gales des- troyed the outer portion of the eastern pier and carried sand and gravel over the inner portion filling the channel to the full height of the beach, thus causing the opening of a new channel on the western side of the west pier. This new channel caused the undermining of the west pier. iv REPORT OF TEE CEIEF ENGINEER 55 "■ SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 During the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of -$4,799.86 was expended in rebuild above L.W.S., a portion of the wrecked eastern pier, 38 feet by 18 feet by 10 feet average height, and in the partial construction of an extension of this pier 75 feet in line of work, 25 feet 4 inches wide, extending to a depth of 11 feet 6 inches L.W.S. A further expenditure of $450 for the completion of this work, to be charged against the appro- priation for 1914-15, was authorized by letter of November 11, 1913. Work to the extent of $466.35 was done under this authority. MARBLE MOUNTAIX. Marble Mountain, Inverness county, is a settlement on the northern side of Wesl bay, an arm of the Great Bras d'Or lake, about 14 miles to the eastward of the head of the bay. The place was of very little importance until a few years ago, when extensive limestone quarries were bought by the Dominion Iron and Steel Company, who employ a large number of men and ship the output of the quarries to Sydney to be used in connection with their smelting works. During 1906-7-8, a block and span wharf, extending to 15 feet at low water, 185 feet in length and 20 feet wide, with an " L " on the northern side of the outer end, was constructed by the department. During 1909-10, the sum of $834.47 was expended in the construction of a road some 1,050 feet in length and 20 feet in width to connect the wharf with the public road, and in fencing it with posts and wire fencing. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1914, the sum of $231.70 was expended in repairs to the covering of the wharf. MARGAREE ISLAND. Margaree island, Inverness county, is situated on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 2J miles off the western coast of Cape Breton island and 27 miles northeast of Port Hood. A wharf on the eastern side and near the southern extremity of the island, com- menced in 1899-1900 and completed in 1901-2, is 100 feet in length and 20 feet in width, including 28 feet of cribwork, the southern side of which has been strengthened by the construction of a concrete wall 18 feet in length, 4 feet in width, and 7 feet in average height, and a cribwork block 72 feet in length. During 1909-10, the sum of $1,725.90 was expended in reconstructing the outer 40 feet of the work and in repairing and reballasting the adjoining cribwork. During 1910-11, the sum of $245.54 was expended in paying outstanding accounts for materials obtained during 1909-10, and in repairing and reballasting the outer 40-foot block. During the year 1911-12. the sum of $665.76 was expended in repairs to the outer end of the breakwater, which had been badly wrecked during a severe gale in the previous year; the repairs consisting of raising, reballasting, and covering the outer block and in placing a stone talus on the western side of the inner end of the work. During 1912-13, the sum of $435.11 was expended in reballasting portions of the wharf and in close-sheathing the seaward face and end, and during 1913-14, the work was reballasted and heavy stone was plaee'd on the western face of the inner end of the work to prevent undermining by the sea, and the expenditure incurred was $380.32. MARGAREE RIVER. Margaree river, Inverness county, is a large stream on the western side of Cape Breton island, flowing through extensive meadows to the gulf of St. Lawrence. Works for the protection of intervale lands, undertaken in 1907-8, and continued during the two following years, include: upper and lower shear-dams in the Boss- 56 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V..

During 1909-10, the sum of $245. 5fi was expended in completing the lower dam in the Ross-Ingraham settlement. During the year L911-12, the sum of $1,999.97 was expended in the r astruction of a portion of the upper shear-dam in the Ross-Ingraham settlement, and in its extension westward for a distance of 75 feet. During the year 1913-14, the sum of $1,499.94 was expended as follows: $719.94 in the reconstruction of 100 lineal feet of pile, brush and stone work on the lower dam in the Ross-Ingraham settlement, and in repairs to the same, and $650 in the reconstruction of 90 lineal feet of pile, brush, and stone on the upper dam in the same settlement, and in making repairs. M UtGARETSI II. UC. Margare'tsville, Annapolis county, is the most important village on the south shore of the Bay of Fundy, between Digby Gut and Scott's bay; it is 42 miles northeast from the former, 36 miles southwest from the Litter, and 9 miles north of Middleton, an important station on the Dominion Atlantic railway. It has a population of 500, engaged in fishing and farming. A pier was begun here in 1837 by the Provincial < tovernment. It was taken over by the Public Works Department in 1S71, since which time it has had frequent repairs, renewals, and extensions, a full history of which will be found in the depart- mental report for 1912-13. In 1913-14. the sum of $299.99 was expended in repairing and renewing the floor of the east breakwater, also the sum of $100 was extended in effecting similar repairs to the upper part of the main breakwater. ilARIOK BRIDGE. Marion bridge, Cape Breton county, -pan- the Mint river, about 12 miles above its ace into Mira bay on the eastern coast of Cape Breton island. The river is navigable, and during the summer season small steamers are engaged in passenger and freight traffic, the landing being effected at small and inconvenient wharfs near the Albert and Marion bridge, or by boats. In order to facilitate the landing for freight and passengers at Marion bridge, during the year 1913-14 the sum of $1,213.95 was expended by the department in the construction of a pile-wharf. 25 by 4n feet, with a pile approach thereto. 20 by 30 feet, and in the construction of a warehouse 12 by 16 feet, built at the back of the wharf separate pile foundation. MATTHEWS LAKE. Matthews lake, Shelbourne county, is a body of water situated at tin- extreme end Black point, and running inland a distance of 3J miles. It has an average width of 4 of a mile. Black Point is 3 miles due east of Lockeport. This lake is separated from the sea by a long shingle beach, through which, at its southern extremity, the proposed channel was required. For a number of years, there was a natural channel through which smelts, trout, alewives, eels, and black bass in large quantities entered this lake, which was used as a spawning ground. About thirteen years ago, this entrance became filled up through the action of the sea. For several years, the residents jv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 57 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 of that locality, at their own expense, re-opened this channel, only to find that in the early spring it would again (ill up. Last year, the department expended $1,882.92 in opening up a channel and build- ing protection walls to prevent it from filling in. The channel is 39 feet in width and runs from the shore line of the hike to L.W.O.S.T., a distance in the centre of 1 l to 8 feet in height, is continuous, of the usual round-log, stonefilled nature, fendered on both sides. Work was com- menced oti July 14, and completed on November 21, 1913. Spring tides rise 7 fei I ; neap, U feet. METEGHAN. Meteghan, Digby county, is situated on the south side of St. Mary's hay, Bay of Fundy, 25 miles north of Yarmouth. 20 miles smith id' Weymouth. 2| miles south of Meteghan river, and 40 miles south of Digby, the county town. Next to Digby and Yarmouth. Meteghan is the most important settlement on the bay shore, having a population of 1,000, engaged in farming, fishing, lumbering, and general trade. The harbour works consists of a breakwater and a landing pier, both of native timber cribwork, and both built between 1837 and 1860 by the Provincial Government and the inhabitants. The pier is 200 feet long and 30 to 40 feet wide. The breakwater is 92S feet, with an "L" of 85 feet at the outer end. Since 1S75. numerous expenditures were made bj the department in repairs and renewals, of which an account will be found in the departmental report for 1912-13 In 1913-14. the sum of $2,000 Was expended in taking down and rebuilding part of the seaward face of the outer end of the stem of the breakwater, 4i> feet long, 24 feet high, and 16 feet wide. The upper part of the " 1. " of the breakwater was partially renewed. METEGHAN RIVER. Meteghan river, Digby county, empties into the Bay of Fundy near the lower end of St. Mary's hay, almost directly opposite Grand Passage. The. village near the nth of the river is 20 miles smith of Weymouth, 28 miles north of Yarmouth, and %\ miles north of Meteghan. The population of the place is about 500, engaged in fishing, farming, and lumbering'. The works, which were built before Confederation, presumably at the joint expense of the inhabitants and the Provincial Government, consist of two breakwaters, one on either side of the river mouth, enclosing an area of about 3 acres, in which, at H.W.O.S.T., is a depth of 10 to 15 feet of water. Since 1873, numerous expenditures were made by the department in repairs, extensions, and improvements, a full account of which will be found in the depart- mental reports for 1908-9, 1911-12, and 1912-13. In 1913-14, the sum of $99(1.5:1 was expended in the renewal of the floor of the shore end of the breakwater for a length of 260 feet, for the full width of the work, and a further length of 100 feet for half the width of the work. The renewals emu- prise planking and stringers. MIDDLE COUNTRY HARBOUR. Country harbour, Ciuysboro county, is on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia. 36 miles westward from cape C'anso. It has an excellent anchorage in i\ fathoms, 1 miles inland, and is navigable t'>' miles for large vessels, and lor small vi Is to Narrows point, 8i miles inland. Boats can ascend 2 miles farther to head of tide. 58 DEPARTMENT OF POBLIO WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 In 1007. a block and Bpan wharf was built by contract, for $2,200. It is feet long, consisting of a stone abutment it feet wide: of three central blocks 22 feet 8 inches wide, and an outer block 22 feet in line of work by 32 feet 4 inches across the end, forming a 10-foot " L " on the southern side. Tn 190S, a warehouse on a post foundation was built, the contract price being $500. In 1913-14, the sum of $21 was expended in temporary repairs to the warehouse foundation. MIDDLE RIVER (LOWER). Middle river, Victoria county, is a large stream emptying into Indian bay, on the northern side of St. Patrick's channel, an arm of the Bras d'Or lakes. About 5 miles above its mouth, the river flows through alluvial lands, easily acted upon by the strong currents, particularly during freshets and, by opening up new channels, caused great loss of valuable lands. Since 1903, three shear-dams were constructed along the river at this point, for the purpose of straightening and confining the course of the river, and the works proved successful as far as they went. At the end of* the year 1908-9, the lower dam was 1,042 feet, the middle 220 feet, and the upper dam 600 feet, in length. All these dams consist of pilework filled iu solidly with brush and stone, laid in alternate layers, and protected on the channel face with close-sheathing. During 1909-10, the sum of $1,100 was expended in constructing a low pile-brush and stone dam, 250 feet in length and 10 feet in width, in front of the deepest portion of the upper dam, to prevent undermining of the gravel bottom; and during 1911-12, the sum of $493.88 was expended in repairs to the low dam, constructed during 1909-10. Out of the amount voted for repairs to -shear-dams, during 1913-14, the sum of $2,346.34 was expended as follows: On the lower dam the sum of $1,199.21 in the partial reconstruction of 200 lineal feet of pile, brush, and stone work, leaving a portion of the brush and stone filling incompleted for the want of funds. On the upper dam, the sum of $1,147.13 in the reconstruction of 240 lineal feet of pile, brush, and stone protection to face of dam and in the renewal of 300 cubic yards of brush and stone in the dam itself. MIDDLE RIVER (UPPER). Upper Middle Eiver, Victoria county, is a settlement on the Middle river, a large stream emptying into Indian bay. on the northern side of St. Patrick's channel, an arm of the Bras d'Or lakes, and is situated about 11 miles from and above the mouth of the river. For the purpose of deflecting the course of the river, above the footbridge, where it threatened to leave the old and cut a new channel through valuable intervale lands, during 1907-S-9, the sum of $2,185.15 was expended in the construction of a shear dam, 400 feet in length, the upper 100 feet consisting of brush and stone and the lower 300 feet of three rows of pilework, 15 feet wide filled in solidly with brush and stone and sheathed on the channel face with plank driven into the bottom. During 1909-10, the sum of $401.02 was expended in the construction of a short dam. above the old dam, to prevent the river from cutting in behind it. The new dam is 90 feet in length, of which the upper end, for a distance of 30 feet, is of brush 'lie. and the lower 60 feet of pile-work, filled in with brush and stone. During the year ended March 31, 1912, the sum of $409.95 was expended in the construction of an extension, 90 feet in length, to the upper dam. of piles, brush, and stone work. The sum of $500.50 was expended during the year 1913-14, in protecting the i iver bank between the upper and lower dams with deposits of brush and stone and in refilling the top of both dams with brush and stone, of which, altogether, about 500 cubic yards were placed. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 59 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 MILL COVE. Mill Cove, Halifax county, is a small cove on the Dartmouth side of Halifax harbour, pituated in the central part of the town, well sheltered, and a number of industries are located at this place. Under contract with the Halifax Dredging Company, 28,568 cubic yards, scow measurement, of mud and boulders were removed, at a cost of 29 cents a yard, to obtain a depth of 18 feet. ' Work was done between August 19 and November 14, 1913. Total expenditure for the fiscal year was $8,284.86. MILL CREEK. Mill Creek, Kings county, is a small farming settlement of a couple of hundred people, situated on the eastern side of the Basin of Minas, 3 miles south of Blomidon, and 4 miles north of Kingsport, the terminus of a branch of the D. A. Ry. About twenty years ago, the inhabitants began the construction of a small pile wharf, 160 feet long and from 20 to 25 feet wide, but funds gave out and the work was left unfinished. Between 1899 and 1911, the department made numerous small expenditures in repairs, renewals, and extensions, of which a full description will be found in the departmental reports for 1906-7, 1910-11, and 1912-13. In 1913-14, the sum of $5,245.96 was expended. The work, which is satisfactorily completed, consists of the extension of the breakwater wharf, by the construction of a block of substantial round log cribwork of native timber, 92 feet long, 31 feet wide, and from 23 to 26 feet high. Some few repairs were also made; several hundred tons of ballast were put in, new stringers on 42 feet in length of the old work, and about 600 feet b.m. of covering have been placed. The work has been well and cheaply done. MIRA FERRY. Mira Berry, at Albert Bridge, Cape Breton county, is situated on the Mira river about 5 miles from Mira gut at its mouth, where there is a station of the Sydney and Louisbourg railway, and is distant about 12 miles from the city of Sydney. There are several steamers engaged in the passenger and freight traffic, and passengers getting off at Albert Bridge are landed at an old pier out on the main river where the landing is both difficult and dangerous. In order to facilitate the landing of freight and passengers, the sum of $1,000 was voted for expenditure during 1913-14, in the construction of a native-timber wharf in Burke's cove, where there is no danger of running ice, and where a free site and right of way thereto has been offered to the Crown by the Presbyterian Church. Instructions to proceed with the construction of the proposed work by day labour, were received on June 13, 1913, but it was too late in the season to procure the neces- sary materials and start the work. Out of the amount voted, the sum of $476.22 only was expended during the fiscal year in procuring the necessary materials for the construction of the wharf. The proposed wharf is to be a block and span structure, 100 feet in length and 16 feet in width, with an outer block 16 by 30 feet, extending to 11 feet at low water. MOOSE HARBOUR. Moose harbour, Shelburne county, is situated about 3J miles west of Liverpool town. It is a small boat harbour, where the department constructed a breakwater at a cost of about $4,500 in the year 1908-9. This breakwater is located on a jutted ledge of rock on the seaward side of the entrance to the harbour. A little farther out from the breakwater there was a ledge which was a menace to the navigation of the harbour. 60 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 In order to make the entrance navigable at all times, it was decided to remove this ledge, and during th<' last fiscal year the work was performed. There are about twenty small boats using this harbour as a fishing station. These boats are practically all boats, with an average value of $4im>. Work was commenced on May 27. and was completed on July 26, 1913. Owing to ry undertow and sea during the latter part of May and June, the work was temporarily stopped on Juiie 2 ami resumed on July 2. There was removed 349-5 cubic yard- of stone, practically all granite. At tir-t the blasting operations on the :e did not yield good results, so that a diver placed over 300 pounds of dynamite in one load along the seams of the ledge. This had the desired effect, with the result ihat fair progress was made. Spring tides rise here T feet; neap, 4} feet. MORDEN. Morden, Kings county (formerly called French Cross), i- a small fishing and farming village of about 150 people, situated on the south shore of the Bay of Fundy, 50 miles northwest of Digby Gut, 9 miles north from Aylesford station on the D.A.K.v. A breakwater was begun in 1846, at the joint expense of the inhabitants and the Provincial Government. It is 365 feet long, from 28 to 4."> feet wide, and from 10 to 26 feet high. It has had many repairs, renewals, and extensions, complete details of which will be found in the departmental report- for 1904-5, 1911-12, and 1912-13. In 1013-14, the sum of $999.27 was expended on the construction of two pieces of cribwork on the west or seaward side of the shore end of the breakwater, one piece; 50 feet long, 11 feet wide, and from 12 to 16 feet high, adjoining- outwards the piece 42 feet long, built in 1012. The other piece, built this year, is 40 feet long, 11 feet wide, and 11 feet deep, shorewards from the piece built last year. Miscellaneous rs were also made to the breakwater. Ml SB U3O0 . Mushaboon, Halifax county, is situated to the westward of Sheet harbour, near its entrance. Ii has a well-sheltered harbour, well adapted to the fishing industry, and has a population of about 150 engaged almost wholly in fishing'. Thirty well equipped boats are used in the industry, and the annual catch amounts to aboul 500 quintals of cod and 2,000 barrels of herring, the ralue of which is from $10,000 to $12,000. In the year 1912-13, the sum of $2,000 was voted for the construction of a small wharf, hut owing to the difficulty in procuring material this work had not been com- pleted. The amount of $806.75 - ■ - aided in the construction of ■> -tone approach and the building of one crib. In the year 1913-14, this work was completed by the addition of two cribs measur- ing 20 by 20 feet each, having an average height of 22 feet, and decking being placed :i i- the entire work, which has a total length of 14n feet, including approach, a width . f 20 feet, and average height of 19 feet.

In the year 1912-13, the amount of $494.52 was expended in placing a number' of tenders along the outer face of work and along the north side, and a group of fenders strongly bolted to the corners. The new portion of the work on the inside of the shed on the north side was raised and new guard timbers placed around the outer end of tin- wharf: a portion of the planking was replaced. In December, the approach had been damaged in severe storms of that month. In the year 1913-14, the sum of $198. If! was expended in repairing the damage done by severe storms during- the winter of 1913; the breakwater was rebuilt along the road for a length of 270 feet by an average height of 2 feet, and 125 yard- of material was rilled in to protect the road. The shed was also enlarged by a length of 4 feet. The work was begun in July and completed during August. 1913. \KW CAMPBKLLTON. New Campbellton, Victoria county, is at the head of Keller's cove, on the northern side of the Greal Bras d'Or channel, about 1 mile from its entrance into the Atlantic ocean. The cove is about half a mile in width at the mouth, and one-quarter of a mile in depth, and lias a depth of water of about 2" feet at low water. It is sheltered from all winds excepting southwesterly, but as these blow down the Bras d'Or channel, they do not cause much inconvenience. It is a port of call for the ss. Marion of the lira- d'Or Steam Navigation Co., which, during the season, plies daily between tin- Sydneys and Bras d'Or lake port-. On September 15. 1905. a contract was entered into in the sum of $17,000 for the construction of a wharf at the end of an old coal shipping pier, to serve as a landing place as well as a ballast wharf, and for repairing and strengthening the old shipping pier, which was to serve as an approach to the wharf. The work of construction was commenced early in June. 1906, and was completed en January 21. 1907. After the completion of the contract, the sum of $150 was expended by day labour in placing an additional amount of ballast in the facc-chambi rs of the cribwork extension. 62 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 The work done under contract included the reconstruction of the top of the old pping pier: the construction of a native round-timber cribwork retaining wall, 165 feet long and 12 feet wide on top, along the southern side of the old pier; a ereosoted timber pile extension at outer end of old work, 61 feet in length and averaging 22 feet in width, and of a cribwork extension, with ereosoted timber substructure to serve as a ballast as well as a public wharf, forming- an " L " on the southern side of the pile extension, 200 feet long and 24 feet wide. During 1910-11, the sum of $151.65 was expended in the construction of a freight shed, 12 by 20 feet, on the outer end of the wharf, and a further sum of $299.89 was expended in close-piling with native timber-piles, the outer end of the northern face of the old shipping pier, to prevent the ojd ballast from falling' out and shoaling the water alongside. During the year 1913-14, the sum of $102.40 was expended in temporary repairs to the covering, which was so bad in places that teams could not be taken to tin- end of the wharf where steamers land. NEWELLTON. Newellton, Shelburne county, is situated about 2 mile.-, northwest of Clarke's Harbour, having a population of about 350, all of whom are practically dependent upon the lobster fishing for a livelihood. In the year 1900, a wharf was constructed at this place, and since that time it has been extended until it is now 28S feet in length, the first 108 feet of which consists of a stone approach, the next 50 feet of two 20-fooi long cribs separate by a span 10 feet in length, and the outside 130 feet resting on pile trestle bents, separate 10 feet apart, centre to centre of pile heads. The whole work is 20 feet in width, with the exception of the last 60 feet in length, which is 40 feet. The outside and end are protected by close piling. During the past fiscal year, the sum of $135.50 was expended in constructing a freight shed; it is 14 feet in length and 8 feet in width, having 10-foot posts. This freight shed was constructed for the purpose of accommodating perishable freight, which is landed here from time to time. Spring tides rise 10 feet; neap, 7 feet.

On July 11, 1910, a contract was entered into with the W. J. Poupore Company, Ltd., of Montreal, to dredge 35.000 cubic yards, scow measure, at 55 cents per cubic yard. The contract expired on December 19, 1910, and as no work was done under tlii>- contract, it was extended to December 19, 1911. On May 29, 1911, the dredge Prince Guy commenced operations and continued until July 12, removing 6,530 cubic yards of hard-pan and small boulders, but as the plant was found too light for the work required, the dredge was dismantled and another dredge, the Pontiac, was placed in commission to take her place. This dredge commenced operations on July 31, and continued until August 12, when she was burned and sank at her moorings. During this period, the dredge removed some 3,900 cubic yards of hard-pan. On May 9, 1912, the extension of the contract with the W. J. Poupore Co., Ltd., was extended by an Order in Council and on October 11, the company's dredge, King Edivard, resumed the work under contract, and continued until November 20, when the work under the original contract was completed. The material removed during 1912-13 consisted of 22,031 cubic yards, scow measure, of clay and small boulders, and of 281A cubic yards of boulders containing 2 cubic yards and over. On September 22, 1913, a contract was entered into with the Coastal Dredging and Construction Co., Ltd., for the removal of 22,400 cubic yards scow measure of clay and sand, at the rate of 54 cents per cubic yard, to complete the improvement of the approaches to Duff's, Comeau's, and Martell's wharves, to a depth of 13 feet at low water. Dredging operations were commenced on November 29, 1913, and continued until January 12, 1914, when, owing to the formation of ice, they were suspended for the season. During that period, the approach to Comeau's wharf was completed, and the approach to Martell's wharf was about half done, and the quantities of material removed and the rates for the different class of work are as follows : — 9,583 cubic yards of clay and sand at 54 cents $5,174 82 13 cubic yards of boulders, 2 yards and over at $5. .. . 65 00 1,>75 cubic yards of overcasting at 36 cents 675 00 Total $5,914 82 PETITE RIVIERE. Petite Riviere, Lunenburg county, is the centre of a thriving farming and. lumbering district, situated about 21 miles from the town of Bridgewater, in a south- westerly direction. The village, which has a population of about 500, is situated near the mouth of a small river, from which it takes its name. The nearest railroad station is (! miles distant, and the nearest harbour, La Have, 6 miles distant. A small harbour is formed by the channel of the river, which empties into a shallow bay through a sand beach. From 1905 to the end of the fiscal year 1908, the department constructed a break- water, 1,220 feet long; the first 900 feet being 16 feet wide, and the outer 320 feet being 20 feet wide. It is from 5 to 13 feet high, and rests on a mattress of brush and stone from 20 to 30 feet wide and about 2 feet in thickness. During the fiscal year 1911-12, the sum of $340.63 was expended in making necessary repairs to the work, which had settled owing to the scouring of the sand under this breakwater. In the fiscal year 1912-13, the sum of $2,385 was expended in raising the breakwater where it had settled in a number of places, and in making miscellaneous repairs. 19— iv— 5J 68 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 In the fiscal year 1913-1 I. the sum of $2,499.98 was expended in completing repairs to the breakwater: a length of 500 feet, varying in width from 17 to -1 feet, was rebuilt, to an av, , ;h of 3 feet. New fenders were placed and the work was reballasted. Work was done bi tween September S. 1913, and January 10, 1014. PI< TOU ISLAND. Pictou Island, Pietou county, is situated in the strait of Northumberland 8 ! 10 miles northeast of the entrance to Pictou harbour. There were two wharves on the south side of the island; one near the v known, as the '; west wharf", and one near the centre, known as the " east wharf". The west wharf is 321 feet in length and 20 feet -in width (with the exception of the inner •">■"> feet, which is only 12 feet in width), and has an "L" on the east side of the outer end, 60 by 30 feet. The depth at extreme low water at the outer end, originally i feet 6 inches, is now only 1 foot. wharf, originally 828 feet in length and 20 feet in width, with a depth at extreme low water, at the outer end, of 4 feet 9 inches, was damaged in 1906, and has sinee been destroyed. In 1910-11, the sum of $1,14S.75 was expended in the removal of the top work of the west wharf, and the placing of about 400 cubic yards of ballast. During 1913-14, the sum of $701.87 was expended in repairing the outer end of the west wharf, including the rebuilding of eribwork at the southwest corner, renewing sheathing and covering and reballasting some empty face chaml PIPEB S i OVE. Piper's Cove, Cape Breton county, is on the northeastern end of the Great Bras d'Or lake, between the entrances to East bay and Barra strait, the latter connecting the Great with the Little Bras d'Or lake. In 1910-11, the department expended the sum of $5,110.74 in procuring nearly al! the materials required for the construction of a block and span wharf, 206 feet in length and 20 feet in width, with an "L" on the northern side of its outer end, 40 by 2(i feet, and extending to S feet at low water, for a landing and to form a shelter for small boats. During the year 1911-12, a road was constructed at a cost of $523.66 to connect the shore eud with the public road, about 1,600 feet in length and 16 feet in width on top. including two small bridges and eight small culverts. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1913, the sum of $1,992.93 was expended in the construction of the wharf, excepting the outer block and "L", 20 by 60 feet, but the substructure of this was built on the shore and was ready to be launched in the spring. The substructure of all blocks is of creosoted timber. During 1913-14, the sum of $1,996.81 was expended in the completion of the wharf and in the construction of a eribwork approach along the shore, 300 feet in length and 12 feet in width, averaging 3 feet in height. PLEASANT BAY. Pleasant Bay, Inverness county, is on the western coast of Cape Breton island, 24 miles north of Cheticamp and about midway between that place and cape St. Lawrence. A contract was entered into on January 29, 1906, for the construction of a wharf for the sum of $7,500. The contract called for a continuous eribwork structure, 210 iv REPORT OF TEE CHIEF ENGINEER 69 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 feet in length and from 16 to 20 feet in width, with an " L" al the outer end 20 by 20 feet, creoaoted to half tide, fulb' ballasted and close-fendered on both side- and at the "liter end. During the year 1905-6, all the materials required in the construction of tin- wharf, with the exception of the ballast, were delivered. The contractor commenced the construction of the cribwork early in June. 1905, but up to tin- end of that month no work had been placed. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1907, the work under contract was com- pleted, and extra work, costing $150, was performed. The extra work consisted in the construction of a bridge, on the right of way leading to the wharf, with brush and stone and :'r:iine work abutments, 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 10 feet in height, placed 10 teel apart. During 1912-13, the sum of $1,182.67 was expended in the renewal of top of bridge in the approach to wharf, the inner block of wharf was rebuilt, the hardwood fenders and sheathing around the outer end were renewed, steel plates were placed around the three outer corners, and the road approach to the wharf was repaired and improved The -uni of $250 was expended during 1913-14, in repairing the outer end of the wharf, which was badly damaged during the severe gale of December 30, 1912, and in raising and repairing the road approach which had been washed out during the gale. PORT BECKERTON. Port Eeckerton, Guysborough county, is on the southern coast of Nova Scotia, midway between Indian and Country harbours, and 5i miles from the entrance to either. In 1904-5-6, the sum of $4,831.93 was expended in constructing a wharf, roadway, and warehouse. The wharf i> a block and span structure extending 190 feet to 12 feet at L.W.S., and consists of an inner block 40 by 20 feet, four intermediate blocks, 18 by 20 feet, and a head block 24 feet, in line of work, by 50 feet. During 1913-14. the sum of $489.98 was expended in close-piling the seaward face of the two outer -pans, in fully ballasting the outer bays of the head block, in renewing smiie fenders, caps. :nu] covering, and in procuring material for a fence. PORT CLYDE. Port Clyde, Shelburne county, is situated at the mouth of the Clyde river, about 15 miles west-southwest of Shelburne. It is also located at the northern end of < lape Negro harbour. Port Clyde itself is a small village of about 400 people, settled along the western side of the harbour front for a distance of about 2J miles. Two miles above it, is situated Clyde village, a farming settlement of about 300 people. The chief industries are lumbering and fishing. During the past three years, the Clyde River Pulp Company have been operating at Clyde, about 3 miles above the mouth of the river. There are already two wharves at Port Clyde, but both are private, one being used entirely by the Pulp Company, by which it is leased, and the other by two lumber firms, si i that the people in that vicinity had no opportunity to land supplies, and a public wharf was rendered necessary. During the past year, the amount of $3,699.78 was expended in the construction of a wharf; work was commenced on August 5. and closed on October 22, 1913. The site chosen was at the end of a public road running from the post road, where an old wharf, constructed and owned by Mr. Fletcher McLarren, was located: this property was purchased for $400. The wharf is 269 feet in length, consisting of a rock bank approach 114 feet in length, 24 feet in width on top, three cribs, each 20 feet long separate by two spans each 15 feet long, all of which is 20 feet wide, two more spans, one of 13 and the other 70 DEPARTMENT OF PVBhIC WORKS IV 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 of 10 feet, connected with two other cribs each 20 feet long, the last 50 feet of the wv>rk being 50 feet wide, with a height at the outer end of 16 feet or 7 feet at L.W. O.S.T. The cribwork is of the usual kind, well ballasti d, tendered, and fastened. Spring tides risi 8 feet; neap, 5* feet. PORT DUFFERIN. Port Dufferin, Halifax county, formerly railed Salmon River, is a thriving village of from 500 to 000 people, engaged in fishing, farming, and gold mining-. It is situated at the mouth of the Salmon river, which" empties into an inlet known as Beaver harbour, about 84 miles east of Halifax by high road, and about half-way between Halifax and the harbour of Canso. In 1898-9. the sum of $1,646.69 was expended in constructing a public wharf. The completed wharf consists <•{ a stdne-and-earth embankment. 110 feet long and 28 feet wide, with an ': L " on the outer end giving a face length of 56 feet. In 1905-6, the sum of $481.10 was expended in making repairs to the structure. In the fiscal year 1910-11, the sum of $1,233.39 was expended in rebuilding the old cribwork wharf in pile and timber trestle. The completed work is 120 feet long, 35 feet wide, with an "L" 35 by 45 feet. During the fiscal year 1911-12, the sum of $207.41 was expended in extending the earth and gravel approach. During the fiscal year 1912-13, the sum of $2,938.03 was expended in the construc- tion of 80 feet long by 25 feet wide; two cribs 20 by 25 feet each, from 10 to 15 feet in height; the cribs are placed 10 feet apart. Timber was purchased for the comple- tion of the work, during the next fiscal year. In the fiscal year 1910-14. the sum of $4,133.05 was expended hi completing the wharf begun last year; work done during the season being 140 feet in length by 25 feet in width. The completed work has a stone and earth approach, is built of solid cribwork and measures 250 feet in length by 25 feet in width, and has an "L" 45 by 40 feet, average height 18 feet. Work began in July, and completed December 1">. 1913. POET GREVILLE. Pert Greville, Cumberland county, is a village of about 400 people situated 12 miles west of Parrsboro. Important ship building and lumbering interests are located at this place, which interests are mainly dependent upon the security and facilities of the harbour, which is formed by a high gravel bar lying parallel to the shore, inside of which the river runs half mile before reaching L.W. O.S.T. For the purpose of protecting the said harbour, the department, in 1874, con- structed upon this gravel bar or beach a cribwork beach protection. 2.200 feet leu-. 10 feel wide en top, with an average height of 7 feet. This was rebuilt in 1902-0. In the fiscal year 1886-7, the department constructed a breakwater off the eastern •nd of this protection, which was 250 feet in length, 21 feet in width on top, with an average height of 20 feet. It has a slope mi the seaward end of half to one. whilst the seaward and outer faces are sheathed with 0-inch plank. In the fiscal year 1905-6, this work was extended a further distance of 130 feet, being the same width as the former portion of the work, and having a height at its enter end of 36 feet, with the seaward and outer face both sheathed with 5-inch hewn timber. During the fiscal year 1912-1:'.. the sum of $4,828.73 was expended in partially constructing a wharf, which was situated on the opposite side of the harbour from the breakwater. Daring the present fiscal year, the sum of $1,235.30 was expended in completing this work. It was commenced August 8, and completed September 23, 1913. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 71 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 This wharf is 120 feet wide, 90 feet long, and 18 feet high at the outer end; 70 feet of its length is of solid eribwork, filled with -tune, the other 20 feel consists of trotle bents, the foundation being of mud sills. The entire wharf was covered with 8-inch plank: fenders and stringers necessary for the top of the wharf were purchased and put in plaee; about 200 tons of ballast were added, and the work completed. Spring tides rise 39 feet; neap, 33 feet. PORT II IWKESBURV. Port Hawkesbury, Inverness county, is on the eastern side of the strait of Canso, nearly opposite Port Mulgrave. In 1902-3-4, a wharf known as the " Long wharf" was acquired and reconstructed. The work consists of an abutment 35 feet in length, with end and side walls of stone, of 391A feet of block and span work, and of eribwork head, 73 feet 9 inches, in line of work, by 112 feet. During 1904-5, a warehouse s<> feet in length and 29 feet in width was constructed by the department at the outer end of the wharf. During 1905-6, 1907-8, and 1908-9. small sums were expended in repairs to the old and new warehouses and to the retaining wall at inner end of wharf, in strength- ening the horizontal fenders at outer end of wharf, and in constructing a gangway at inner face of the eribwork head. During the fiscal year 1910-11, $219.70 was expended in repairing and painting to old warehouse, in painting new warehouse, and in repairs to covering of wharf. During 1913-14, the sum of $2,797. 31 was expended by day labour in the recon- struction of the whole top of the wharf, consisting of the renewal of all floor-stringers, covering, cap-timbers, and upper fenders, and in levelling up the work where it had settled. PORT HOOD. Port Hood, the shire-town of Inverness county, is on the west coast of Cape Breton island, 20 miles north of the northern entrance to the strait of Canso. A pier on the east side of the harbour, commenced by the Provincial Government in 1865, was originally 550 feet in length and 24 feet in width, with an " L " on the south side of the outer end, 100 feet in length and 25 feet in width. It came under the charge of the Federal Government in 1871, since which time extensive repairs and renewals have been made, including the construction of a new block, 125 feet by 25 feet at the outer end, in 1873; the construction of a block. 50 by 32 feet, at the south end of the "L" in 1888-89, and the construction of a block, 71 feet by -J± feet at the outer end, in 18S9-90. The old Provincial Government work was of squared timber, close-faced; the additions and part reconstructed by the department are of round timber, laid open-faced. The pier has been protected on the seaward side at the outer end and on the south end and inner side of the " L " by close piling, and on both sides to within 74 feet of the outer end. by a stone talus. The work has been constructed entirely with native timber, and repairs and improvements have been made nearly every year since 1896-7, to the outer end, but owing to the bad condition of the work below the line of low water, nothing of a per- manent nature, can be done with the work until an extension, built with creosoted timber, is placed at its outer end. During the year 1911-12, the sum of $1,336.83 was expended by day labour in cutting down to low water, a section of the northwest corner of the wharf, 10 by 20 feet, and in reconstructing it, ballasting it, and in close-piling its seaward face with native-timber piling. During 1912-13. the sum of $196.51 was expended in renewing the covering when' necessary, in reballasting sections of the pier where the ballast had been washed out 72 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 through the damaged face, and in strengthening this face with native-timber piling. During a terrific gale on the 30th of December, 1912, the outer end of the wharf, which had been in a weakened condition for some years, was badly wrecked, and the landing of steamers was almost impossible at times. In order to facilitate the landing of vessels and steamers, and to protect the old work until the outer end of the work can be rebuilt, during 1913-14 the sum of $5,19>.i^ was expended by day labour in the construction of a new eribwork block, 100 fret long and 20 feet wide on top, on the northern side of the outer end of the old work, sheathed all around with creosoted plank sheathing, but owing to the lack of funds, the block could not be covered in. POUT .TOLL Port Joli, Queens county, is a small fishing village situated about 14 miles south- west of Liverpool. Its people are dependent absolutely on fishing for a livelihood. In the fiscal year 1S9S-9. the department constructed a small eribwork wharf; about the year 1902, this work was extended. In the year 1912-13 the sum of $551.33 was expended, but the repairs were not completed. During the past season, the amount of $431.4ii was expended. Work was commenced on November 10 and completed on November 26, 1913. The top was renewed and about one-third of the fenders replaced. Spring tides rise 7 feet; neap, 4i feet. PORT MAITLAND. Port Maitland, Yarmouth county, is a prosperous and important fishing and farming village, with a population of about 600, situated on the southeast side of the mouth of the Bay of Fundy, 12 miles north of the county town of Yarmouth. The harbour works were begun about the year 1859 by the Provincial Government. They consist of an eastern and a western, or main, breakwater of eribwork. The former is 400 feet long by some 20 feet wide and the latter 500 feet long. 22 to 25 feet wide, with a return 54 feet long, 24 feet wide and 27 feet high, along which there is a depth of water of 19 feet at H.W.O.S.T. The breakwaters or piers inclose a snug high-water harbour of 2^ acres in extent. In 1373-4, the department raised and extended the eastern breakwater, and has since maintained and improved the works. Details of expenditures incurred and work done may be found in the annual report for 1904-5 and 1910-11. In 1913-14. the small sum of &47.17 was expended in emergent repairs to the floor of the breakwater, which was damaged by the gale of the 4th of January. 1913. POUT MOUTON. Port Mouton, Queen's county, is situated about 10 miles west of Liverpool. It is a fishing settlement of some eight or nine hundred people and is of consider; importance. About the year 1887, the department constructed a mooring pier on the southern edge of the channel, 65 feet long and 25 feet wide. In the fiscal year 1900, the Department of Public Works constructed a wharf, which consisted of a stone bank approach 11l' feet in length. 4 blocks of eribwork. each 28 feet in length, separate from each ether by three spans each 15 feet in length. It is 20 feet wide on top, with the exception of the last 28 feet which i* 40 feet wide. It has a1 its face about 7 feet of water at L.W.O.S.T. During the fiscal year 1912-13. small repairs were made to the wharf. During the present year, however, tin1 sum of $1,202.32 was expended in completing the repairs and rebuilding tin? top of the old pier. The work was commenced August 19, and was completed December 30, 1913. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 73 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 In connection with the old wharf, during the presenl year 70 feet in length of the outside portion of it. was new topped, whilst the inside block was renewed for the first three tiers of logs. The old pier was torn down for 5 feet in height, was then rebuilt and planked on top. It consists of continuous round-log stone-filled eribwork. well tendered and fastened; the material procured was of the very best quality, and the workmanship extremely good. The whole work was completed in a most satisfactory manner. Spring- tides rise 7 feet; neap, 4J feet. POliT MULGRAVE. Port Mulgrave, Guysborough county, on the western side of the strait of Canso, nearly opposite Port Iiawkesbury and Point Tupper. Population. 150. This place is sheltered and used as a waiting harbour for vessels passing through the strait during stormy weather. During the season 1913-14, dredging was undertaken in order to improve the harbour, by deepening the basin and the clock at the outer end and to the north of the public wharf, to a depth of 13 feet at low water. The work was carried on under contract by the Coastal Dredging Co., Ltd., from August 29 to November 21. Dredg- ing was performed over an area of 105,000 superficial feet; average cut 5-8 feet. P^xpansion factor, 19 per cent. The quantities of material removed and cost were as follows: — 35,441 cubic yards class " B " at 29 cents. . . .• $10,277 89 2,170 cubic yards castover at 19 J cents 419 53 51-6 hours lost time removing wreckage at $17.55 905 58 $11,603 00 PORTERS LAKE. Porter's lake is situated about the middle of Halifax county, distant 15 miles from Halifax; it is IS miles in length and from a quarter to half a mile in width, and the water being of good depth for almost its entire length is navigable for vessels of 60 tons to its extreme head. The normal level of the lake is some 2 or 3 inches above H.W.O.S.T. Up to about 1873, the outlet, which is directly into the Atlantic, through a gravel beach 200 feet wide, was navigable for schooners drawing 6 feet of water, and a considerable trade was done in the export of fish, lumber, cordwood, and farm pro duce. Since that time, the outlet has been gradually filling up with accumulation- gravel washed in by southerly and easterly storms. In order to maintain the outlet, to prevent the roads along the margin from being flooded, and to admit tish into the lake, the department expended, in 1898, a total of $2,031.14 in sums of from $40 to $100. In 1901, numerous expenditures had been made on the permanent outlet, described in detail in departmental reports of 1907-8. These expenditures having resulted in but slight temporary relief and no permanent improvement, the department, in 1900-01, expended the sum of $8,262.44 in 'beginning the construction of a permanent channel through the neck of land, 2,400 feet wide, separating the main body of the lake from the extreme head of Three Fathom harbour. The total expenditure on this attempt at a permanent outlet has been $23,407.22, the last being $1,484.52 in 1908-9. In 1908-9, the sum of $100 was expended in reopening the old outlet and the sum of $596.86 in a new experimental outlet through Half Island beach. This has not proved a success, owing to the great, exposure of the beach and the filling up of outlet by sand and gravel after every heavy storm. The sum of $1,484.52 was furl nded in deepening the permanent outlet. During the year 1909-10, the sum of $176.69 was expended in opening and keeping open the old outlet. 74 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 During the fiscal year 1910-11, the sum of $4,506.39 was expended in widening and deepening the permanent outlet at the head of Three Fathom harbour. The earth has been removed from the Three Fathom harbour end of the work, on the west side of the cut, a distance of about 900 feet. The intention is now to widen the chan- nel to 30 feet at the bottom and to deepen it to a depth of 6 feet below H.W.O.S.T. During the fiscal year 1911-12, the sum of $8,242.03 was expended in widening and deepening the channel. During the fiscal year 1912-13, the sum of $217.20 was expended in opening and keeping open the old outlet. In the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $262.51 was expended in reopening and keeping open the nutlet and in removing a large boulder which had become loosened in the bank of the opening and threatened to fall and block the outlet. Work begun in May, 1913. and continued at various times until March 30, 1914. PORTUGUESE COVE. Portuguese Cove, Halifax county, is a small fishing village with a population of about (lull, wholly dependent upon the fishing industry. It is situated 0 miles from the eity of Halifax, on the western side of the harbour. At some date previous to 1902, the department constructed a skidway 150 feet in length and 150 feet in width at low water and 50 feet wide at the shore end. In 1908-9. the sum of $10,000 was expended in the construction, by contract, of a breakwater for the protection of the fishing fleet. The work is of cribwork construc- tion, and provided on the seaward side with a break. It has a length of 217 feet, the shoreward 117 feet being 20 feet wide and the outer 100 feet. 30 feet wide. At the outer end the work is 21 feet high. In the year 1913-14, the sum of $151.03 was expended in miscellaneous repairs to the skidway. Work begun and ended in December, 1913. PROSPECT. Prospect, Halifax county, is a fishing village of about 400 or 500 people, situated on the Atlantic coast, 20 miles west of the city of Halifax. The annual catch according to the report of the Marine and Fisheries Department, is valued at $14,000, one hundred l">,its and mie hundred and fifty men being engaged in the industry. The harbour is much expuseil to seas from tin- smith and southeast. In 1908-9, the sum of $3,226.98 was expended in the construction of a small breakwater for the protection of the fishing fleet. The work, which is substantially built of cribwork of the usual type, is 120 feet long, 3D feet wide, and from 12 to 14 feet high, provided with a break on the seaward side. During the year 1909-10, the sum of $103.20 was expended in com- pleting the close-sheathing and planking. In 1910-11, the sum of $3,685.29 was ' expended in extending the breakwater 80 feet in length; the extension is 30 feet in width and from 12 feet high at the shore end to 14 feet high at the outer end where there is a depth of 1 feet of water; substantially built of stone-filled cribwork. with a break on tin- seaward side which is sheathed with 5-inch planking. In the fiscal year 1913-14. the sum of $168.99 was expended in miscellaneous repairs to the work; some 35 tons of ballast was replaced; new planking for a length .•I 20 leet ami sheathing for 20 feet were placed in position.

River Bourgeois, Richmond county, is a large settlement on the southern coast of Cave Breton island, and on the northern side of Lennox passage, a strait separating Cape Breton island from Madame island. The harbour or inlet is about 1A miles in length, half a. mile in width, and is land-locked, with the exception of a narrow entrance which connects it with the sea. This entrance was very narrow and crooked, and, as it was obstructed by a sandbar outside, with only 8J feet at low water, which prevented vessels from .alter- ing or leaving the harbour at all times of tide, it was decided to improve the entrance and to straighten and deepen the channel inside to a depth of 13 feet at low water. Spring tides rise (i feet. On August 13, 1912. an Order in Council was passed granting authority to accept the tender of the Coastal Dredging and Construction Co., Ltd., of Sydney, for the dredging required, and on August 28, the dredge Cadeco commenced operations, continuing until November 12 following, when the work under contract was com- pleted. The- work done consisted in deepening the channel over the bar to 13 feet at low water, in a width of 125 feet, in straightening, widening, and deepening to the same depth the channel inside of the entrance; in overcasting a channel to Samp- son's wharf, and in the removal of an old wrecked cribwork block which was dangerous to navigation, and the quantities removed and the rates paid for the different class of work, are as follows: — 1:9,603 cubic yards, scow measure, of mud and claiy at 22 cents. . $10,912 66 17.300 cubic yards overcasting at 14H cents 2,537 33 14-07 cubic yards boulders. 2 yards and over, at $8.50 124 70 Removal of wreck, 31 hours at $23 713 00 $14,287 69 ()n May 23, 1913, authority was received to continue dredging under contract with the Coastal Dredging and Construction Co., for the removal of 18,40:> cubic yards, scow measurement, of class B material at 22 cents per cubic yard. On May 28, operations were resumed by dredge Cadeco and continued until June 21. when the work was completed, consisting of widening the entrance channel 200 feet at the outer end to 100 feet at the inner end, and in further straightening the channel inside by cutting off some points, and the total amount of material removed is as follows: — 18,389 cubic yards, scow measurement, mud. sand and clay at 22. . $4,044 92 12-9 cubic yards of boulders, 2 ya.rds and over at $8.50 109 65 $4,154 57 76 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 ROUND BAY. Bound bay is a small fishing and farming settlement, situated on the north-wesl end of Round Bay beach, 14 miles south southwest of Shelburne) town, and is located in Shelburne county. At or near the northwest end of this beach a small river empties. Twenty years ago this stream was utilized by the fishermen up about a quarter mile above its entrance, win-re there were about ten fish houses and several small dwellings. Boats drawing 5 feel of water navigated it without difficulty. This has been an important trout and alewives stream. About 1891, the Local Government of Xova Scotia constructed a bridge across the entrance of this river, and immediately afterwards the sand began to collect on the western side of the outlet, until it became almost entirely closed. During the past fiscal year, in order to better conditions, the department expended the sum of $1,350 in opening" a straight channel, the work being done by day labour. It was commenced on June 23, and completed September 13, 1913. It runs from the central span of the bridge to L.W.O.S.T. mark, in the direction of north 115° south 30' east. It is 300 feet long ati it^ western side, and 270 feet on its eastern side, with a common width of 60 feet at the bottom, the sides sloping 2 horizontal to 1 perpen- dicular. Its depth is 3 feet above L.W.O.S.T.. or what corresponds to one-half tide elevation. Since being opened it has deepened from 1 foot to 15 inches. The material removed consisted of sand and small round beach >tones. Spring tides rise here 7 feet; neap, 11 feet. ROUND HILL. Round Hill, Annapolis county, on the south or left bank of the Annapolis river, 8 miles east of the town of Annapolis. It is a station on the D.A.Ry. The population of the village is about 500 people, engaged in farming, fruit raising, and general trade. In 1905-6-7-8 and 1909, the department expended the sum of $5,415 in the con- truetiun of a public wharf for the benefit of local trade. The work consists of a pile- work stem, 76 feet long, 25 feet wide, and from 5 to 16 feet high, terminating in a substantia] block of eribwork, 75 feet long, 35 feet wide, and from 10 to 22 feet high. founded on piles driven to supposedly hard bottom and cut off level with the mud. For further particulars see annual report for 1912-13. In 1913-14, the sum of $61.55 was expended. The work, which is satisfactorily completed, consists of the building of about 20 rods of wire fence, and the repair of the road approach to the public wharf. st. Joseph's. Si.

During a very severe gale on December 30, 1912, the outer end of the breakwater for a distance of 75 feet, was badly wrecked and the top of the inner end was d aged, and during L913-14, the sum of $1,299.02 was expended by daj labour in r the wrecked portion of the breakwater and in thoroughly repairing it- inner end. SAMBRO. Sambro, Halifax county, is situated on the Atlantic coast, 1(!A miles to the west- ward of Halifax harbour, and i- an important fishing' village with a population of 325, wholly, dependent upon the fishing industry for a livelihood. During the fiscal year 1910-11, the sum of $2,216.51 was expended in the construc- tion of a block and span wharf; the work which was completed, with the exception of an " L" on the outer end, is 175 feet in total length, 20 feet in width, and from 8 at the shore end to 22 feel in height at the outer end, where at 1..W.O.S.T. there is a depth of 11 feet of water. During the fiscal year 1911-12. the sum of $124.71 was expended in the purchase of timber for the completion of the " L." During the year 1913-14, the sum of $162.33 was expended in the purchase of further timber in readiness for the completion of the work during the next fiscal year. SAXDFORD. Sandford, Yarmouth county, is situated on the coast of the mouth of the Bay of Fundy, .at the extreme western point of Yarmouth county, 7 miles northwest from the town of Yarmouth. The population of the place is from three to four hundred, engaged in fishing and farming. A breakwater was begun in 1S5S by the inhabitants, aided by the Provincial Government. The first expenditure by the department was in 1S7C, since which date numerous expenditures have been made in repairs, extensions and improvements, ,,f which a full account will be found in the departmental report for 1908-9 and 1912-1:;. In 1013-14, the sum of $197.41 was expended in emergent repairs to the floor of the breakwater, and in the replacing of a few pieces of sheathing on the seaward face of the work. SAULXIERVILLE. Saulnierville, Digby county, with a population of about 350 people, is situated on the northeast coast of St. Mary's bay, Bay of Fundy, 36 miles southeast of Digby, 32 miles north of Yarmouth, and 3 miles north of Meteghan river. Some years before Confederation, a breakwater, serving also as a landing wharf, was built by the inhabitants, aided by the Provincial Government. In 1876, the sum of $4,000 was expended in making thorough repairs to the work and extend- ing it a further length of 100 feet. Since that date, the work has had numerous expenditures in repairs and renewals, of which particulars will be found in the departmental report for 1904-5 and "1909-10. in 1913-14, the sum of $1,972.67 was expended in repairs to the breakwater. Spring tides rise 21 feet. scott's bav. Scott's Bay. Kings county, is on the south side of Minas channel, Bay of Fundy, between ('ape Split and Baxter- harbour. The population of the settlement, within I uple of miles, is about 500. The works, which consist of two breakwaters, one on either side of the mouth of a hrook, were begun by the department in 1878, since which date numerous small expenditures have been made in repairs, renewals and 78 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 extensions, of which a full account will be found in the departmental report for 1906-7 and 1912-13. In 1913-14, the sum of $1,200 was expended. The work, which is satisfactorily completed, consists of the completion of the block built in 1912, 60 feet long, from 26 to 30 feet wide and from 24 to 26 feet high, built on 42 piles driven to hard bottom, and cut off to the level of the beach. The finishing of this block comprises 61 feet of break, 43 feet in length of sheathing and :'" feet in length of break on the older or shore portion of the work. A reinforcing block was built on the seaward face of the old work, 51 feet long, 9 to 12 feet wide, and from 14 to 20 feet high. The whole of the work is of substantial round-log. native-timber cribwork, tilled with stone ballast. SEAFOKTH. Seaforth, Halifax county, is a fishing and farming settlement 24 miles east of Halifax, 3 miles west of Chezzeteook, and has a population of 160. During the fiscal year 1913-14, the amount of $8,775 was expended under contract with the Halifax Dredging Company, in the partial construction of a breakwater. The amount of the contract is $17,300. and the work done forms about 74 per cent of the whole; 342 feet in length and 25 feet in width <>f the work has been completed. The breakwater, when completed, will measure 451 feet in length by 25 feet in width with an "L" 31 by 15 feet. Work was done from July 4 to October IS, 1913. si: kf." island. Seal island, Shelburne county, lies 18 miles southwest of Clarke's Harbour, and is a fishing settlement of considerable importance. There are twenty-six houses, a church, a school, and a large fog alarm station situated on this island. On the western side of the island there is a long low beach on the southern point of which the fishermen from time to time have constructed temporary landings. On the northeast of these landings, they have built their skids, on which they haul up their boats. During the past few years, the old temporary work having been in the meanwhile destroyed, the beach was gradually being driven back, s.> that in the course of two or three years, it would have been practically untenable. It was therefore decided to construct a breakwater directly along the sides of the old protection, and it began at the top of the beach, running seaward a distance of 180 feet to a point about 40 feet below L.W.O.S.T. The construction of this breakwater prevents any further inroad upon the beach which, if once destroyed, would render their fishing station useless. During the fiscal year 1912-13, the sum of $2,677.85 was expended in the commencement of this work, when only 110 feet in length was constructed. During the past year, the amount of $967.18 was expended, and the remaining 70 feet of the breakwater was constructed. This work, as complete, is 180 feet in length. 16 feet wide on top. with a batter of 1 to 4 on the outside face, and has a height el' 16 feet at the outside end. It is constructed of heavily fendered round-log cribwork. filled with ballast to the top. Work was commenced on August 15 and concluded on October 18, 1913. Spring tides rise 12 feet; neap, 8i feet. SEASIDE. Seaside, Inverness county, is on the eastern side of St. George's bay, near the southern entrance to Port Hood harbour, and about 2 miles south from the town ot Port Hood. The wharf, constructed by the department during 1895-6-7, is 300 feet in length and 20 feet in width on top, of open-faced cribwork, close-fendered at the outer end and fully ballasted. The substructure is of creosoted timber, and the superstructure iv REPORT OF I III. CHIEF ENGINEER 79 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 of native timber. In L904, the outer end was moved by ice from the south, II feet out "i line, the movement commencing VI feel inward; subsequently the outer end face chambers were filled with concrete up to low water and above that with ordinary ballast. Tlic depth at the outer end at extreme low water is 7 feet. Spring I ides rise I feet. During 1909-10, the sum of $618.63 was expended in repairs to the covering, in constructing about one-half of a new road, 371 feet in length, from the wharf to t h. • public highway, and during L9J.0-11, the sum of $199.01 was expended in completing tho mad commenced in the previous year. During 11(13-14, the sum of $2,121.61 was expended by day labour in repairing the outer faces of the work by close-sheathing, in renewing ballast in empty chambers, in preventing the wasting away of the bank at the inner end, by cribwork protection, in deviating- the road near the shore and in thoroughly repairing' the same. SHAG HARBOUR. Shag Harbour, Shelburne county. Nova Scotia, is situated about 6 miles south- west of Barrington Passage. It is a settlement of about Goo people. Fishing is the main stay of the entire settlement, there being about 50 motor boats, averaging in value $350, utilizing this harbour. Coastal steamers, wdiich ply between Yarmouth and other places along the shore, wishe I to make this a port of call, but were unable to do so until a passage through a bar or reef of boulders lying some one-third of a mile from the outside end of the dredged channel, had been made. During the past fiscal year, a passageway, 1". feet in width, was blown out of this reef, and the pieces removed. Work was commenced on October 15, and completed on December 18, 1913. During that time, 1,014-3 cubic yards were removed, the cost being $4.15 per cubic yard, or slightly more than $2 per ton. The rocks removed consisted principally of granite, there being a few boulders of blue whin. Spring tides rise here 9 feet; neap, 5 J feet. SHEET HARBOUR. Sheet harbour is situated on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia., in the eastern part of Halifax county. The village which surrounds the harbour, contains a popu- lation of 600, and is a thrifty and prosperous community engaged in farming and fishing. The harbour is one of the finest in Nova Scotia, being of considerable extent, and having an abundant depth of water. It runs inland about 6£ miles to Jerrard's point, where it divides into two arms, receiving respectively the East and West rivers. During the fiscal year 1906-6, the department expended the sum of $2,205.15 in building a cribwork and pile-work wharf at the mouth of the West river. In 190(3-7, a, further sum of $1,2'J8.44 was expended in completing the work; the wharf consists first of a stone bank approach, 50 feet long, 25 feet wide and from 2 to 8 feet high; second, pile-work, 141 feet long, 21 feet wide and from 8 to 20 feet high, the pile-bents being 10 feet apart; third, substantial cribwork, 40 feet long, 25 feet wide and 20 to 22- feet high, with an " L " Gl feet long and 20 feet wide, giving a face length of 86 feet, along which, at L.W.O.S.T. there is 15; feet of water. In the fiscal year 1913-14, the department expended $998.44 in miscellaneous repairs to the work; 800 square feet in area of the wharf was raised from 0 to 24 inches; the whole top of the wharf was replanked, and eight new caps and six new- fenders were placed. The freight shed was painted and a new crane was placed. Work begun in August, and completed September 29, 1913. SHEET HARBOUR PASSAGE. Sheet Harbour pasage, Halifax county, is the name of a small island between Sober island and the mainlalnd at the north of Sheet harbour, 60 miles east of the city of Halifax. The mainland adjoining the passage has a population of about 150 80 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS :v 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 During the fiscal year 1911-12, the sum of $801.27 was expended in the construc- tion of a block and spa)u wharf for the accommodation of the fishermen and to serve as a landing pier for freight, etc. In 1912-13, the sum of $199.37 was expended in completing the wharf begun in 1911-12. The work consists of the completion of the outer block of the wharf: the block was raised about 2 feet, ballasted and planked, and fenders ai.d guard timbers were also plaiced. In 1913-14. the sum - i xpended in building up the approach to the wharf and building in between the walls with stone and gravel for a length r,f 50 feet by a width of 20 feet and an average depth of 3 feet. A further extension of this work is required. Work begun in June and finished in July. 1913. shelburm:. The town of Shelburne is situated at the mouth of the Shelburne river, at the head of Shelburne harbour, which is so well known that a detailed description is unnecessary. In order to afford facilities for larger draught vessels to call at this port, the department began the construction of a wharf on September 23, 1910, which was completed on the 27th of May, 1913. The wharf is 966 feet in length, consisting of three parts. it, Approach. — An approach in the usual rock bank form, 4S0 feet long, 40 feet wide on top, and about 9 or 10 feet high at its outside end, with both sides sloped to a batter of 11 to 1. Second, Block and Span Wtirk, 90 feet in length. — This portion consists of three cribs, e:' in length, separated from each other by two spans, each 15 feet in length. These cribs are 40 feet wide, ami are filled with ballast to the underside of the floor stringers. Objection was taken by the railway to the effect that the spans were too long, and trestles resting upon mud sills were placed under the centre of each of them. Third, Pile Work. — The remail : feet in length is constructed upon pile trestle bents, separated from each other 9 feet longitudinally, measured from centre to centre of pile heads. The first 296 feet is 10 feet wide on top. whilst the outside 100 feet in length is 70 feet wide, the '; L "' on the outside being 100 feet long by 30 feet, and placed on the eastern side of the wharf. The height of the work at the out- side end is 36 feet, which corresponds to a height of 4 feet above H.TT.O.S.T. During the past fiscal year, the sum of $775.16 was expended in connection with this work. The Halifax and South-western Railway Company demanded stringers to be placed so that they would be immediately underneath the rails in case tracks were laid on this wharf. This entire covering of the wharf had to be taken up and three sets of stringers for the 4S0 feet in length of cribwork and pile trestle bent, were laid, when the covering had to be replaced. Spring tides rise 61 feet; neap, 4 feet. SOBER ISLAND. Sober island. Halifax county, is situated at the mouth of Sheet Harbour, 60 miles west of the city of Halifax and is a small island, 3 miles in length and three-quarters of a mile in width, separated from the mainland by a narrow channel known as Sheet Harbour passage. The population consists of about 50 families, engaged almost wholly in the fishing industry. In the year 1902-03, the sum of $797.18 was expended in the construction of a small wharf. In the fiscal year 1911-12— the sum of $71.20 was expended in the pur- chose of timber for the construction of an " L " to the outer end of the wharf. In the fiscal year 1912-13, the sum of $914.59 was expended in the construction of two small " Ls " to the wharf, one being 25 by 30 feet, with a height of 18 feet, and iv UEPOTtl OF TEE CHIEF EXG1XEER 81 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 the other measuring 10 by 20 feet with a height of L8 feet. A freight shed was also built, measuring- 18 feet by 15 feet. In 1913-14, the department expended the sum of $259.41 in replanking the wharf ami two " L's " with 3-inch planking', and placing new guard-timbers and some new fenders. Work begun in September and completed in October, L913. SOUTH CUT. South Gut, Victoria county, is the local name of the southern arm of the head of St. Ann's harbour, on the eastern const of the island of Cape Breton. A wharf was constructed by the department, during 1890-91, on the southern side of South Gut, 198 feet in length and 20 feet in width, extending to 6J feet at low water, and consisting of a shore abutment, 48 feet long, and of four 20-foot blocks, built with native round timber, with intervening spans, 17J feet in length, and during 1902-3, an additional block 20 by 40 feet was placed 17 feet from the end of the wharf and connected then with by a span, increasing the depth at the outer end to 8 feet at low water. During 1903-4, the covering, the cap and fenders on the original work were renewed, and the approach was graded and gravelled, and during 1910-11, a small freight shed, 10 by 16 feet, was constructed on the outer end of the wharf. During 1911-12, the sum of $153. SO was expended in temporary repairs to the covering of the old work, by renewal of floor-stringers and covering where mostly needed. During 1913-14, the sum of $511.59 was expended in the renewal of all the floor- stringers of the original .work, placed there twenty-two years ago, and of the covering and guard-rajls. SOUTH INGONISH. Ingonish bay. Victoria county, is situated on the eastern coast of Cape Breton island, about midway between Sydney harbour and Cape North, and is divided into North and South bays, by Middle Head, a narrow and rocky neck of land, over -1 miles in length. At the head of South bay there is an extensive lake, separated from the sea by a bene]], though there formerly existed but a shallow channel. In 1S73, works were undertaken by the department for the improvement of the ■channel. On their completion in 1876, then' was a channel 200 feet in width with a depth of 14 feet at low water, and with its northern side protected by a pier, 500 feet in length, thus giving vessels access to the lake which has an area of about 400 acres and a great depth and affords a safe and commodious harbour. The pier, on which small sums were expended every year from 1870 to 1880, and large amounts in 1881 and 1882, sustained serious damage during easterly gales in 1882, and was subsequently carried away down to below low water. During 1886-7, a beach protection work, 58 feet in length and 20 feet in width, was constructed on the northern side of the entrance to prevent the sea from cutting away the end of the beach and opening up a new channel between it and the remain- of the old breakwater, and during 1894-5, a beach, back of the protection work, was closed with a cribwork block, 45 feet in length and 15 feet in width. During 1893-4, a public wharf, extending to 10 feet at low water, was constructed on the beach on the northern side of and next the entrance to the harbour. This wharf has been used since its construction without requiring any repairs, but owing to its weak condition and the shallowness of the water at its outer face, it was decided to repair and extend it. 19— iv— 6 82 DEPARTMENT OF PI BLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 Out of the amount voted for expenditure during 1913-14, the sum of $4,358.22 was expended in the construction of the addition, consisting of a cribwork block, with creosoted timber substructure, 40 feet long and 20 feet wide, connected with the old work by a span 32 feet wide and 10 feet long. The new work was completed: the top of the old work was repaired, and a ware- house, 12 by 16 feet, was built and placed on the outer end of the old work. SOI Til LAKE. South lake. Lakevale. Antigonish comity, is situated on the western shore of St. George's bay, about midway between the entrance to Antigonish harbour and cape George. It is a large sheet of fresh water, separated from the bay by a beach of sand and gravel, about 900 feet in length. 300 feet in width, and about 8 feet above the level of high water springs. In 1907-S-9, a channel was cut through the beach. 40 feet wide at the bottom and 2 feet below high water, and a breakwater was built 300 feet long and 20 feet wide, consisting of ordinary cribwork, to protect the noi'th side of its seaward entrance; during 1909-10, the channel was completed through the beach to a depth of 11 feet below low water springs. In 1910-11, a brush and stone dam, 75 feet in length, 12 feet in width on top, was built at the inner end of the breakwater to close a breach made then-, and 150 cubic- yards of sand and gravel was removed from the channel. In 1911-12. the sum of $1,707.88 was expended in procuring timber and ballast required for the construction of a proposed extension. 40 by 20 feet in line of work built of round-timber cribwork, with creosoted timber substructure, fully ballasted and sheathed on all faces with creosoted and hardwood sheathing. During the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $1,653. s> was expended in constructing a brush and stone retaining wall. 8 feet wide, from the inner end of the breakwater, a distance of 90 feet along high water: in partially reballasting and in repairing the breakwater, and transferring from McNair's Cove the creosoted timber required for the proposed extension. Dredging. Dredging was undertaken at South lake with the object of deepening to 8 feet, at extreme low water, a channel 60 feet in width, to give access to South lake and thereby provide accommodation and protection for fishing boats during all kinds of weather. During the season 1913-14. the Government dredge George McKenzie worked from April 20 to October 11. 1913, over an area of 64.S0O superficial feet, dredging a channel 60 feet wide to 8 feet at low water. This, providing no refilling took place, would involve the removal of 21.150 cubic yards jn situ, but there was a total removal of 36.32.". yards, made up as follows: overcasting. 23.:'.7u. and scow. 12.955 cubic yards. The apparent discrepancy between the '" in situ " computations and returns is due to the fact that a great deal of refilling occurred while the dredging was in progress during stormy weather, storms from the east and northeast being the worst on account of the lack of protection from these directions. The returns are practically correct, and the material should show an expansion factor of say 2.1 per cent and. consequently. the dredge would be credited with the removal of say 27,244 cubic yards in situ at this place. SOI I'll WEST COVE. Southwest cove, Lunenburg county, is situated on the west side of St. Margarets bay. about 6 miles from the village of Hubbards. It is a small cove formed by an island lying close to the mainland. The population of the district is about 100. For iv REPORT OF TEE CBIEF ENGINEER 83 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 the convenience of the fishermen of the district, as well as for others passing to and from the risliing- grounds, the department expended, in the year 1911-12, the sum of $250.7;! in deepening the channel between the island and the mainland to allow the passage of boats at high water. In the year 1913-1 1, the department expended the sum of $524.56 in the construc- tion of a one-span bridge and approaches thereto. The bridge measures 12 l>y 12 feet, the approach on the eastern side is 52 feet long and 16 feet wide, ami on the western side is 65 feet long and 16 feet wide, built of stone and covered with gravel. Work was begun in October, 1913, and completed March, 1014. SPANISH SHIP BAY. Spanish Ship bay, Guysborough county, is an arm of Liscomb harbour, the entrance to which is about 8 miles east of the Halifax and Guysborough comity line at Ecum Secum. In 1910-11, a wharf was purchased from Zebedes Hartling for $420. and $455.04 was expended in raising and reballasting the work, and in building an approach. In 1911-12, the sum of $524.75 was expended in purchasing some material for a proposed extension. During the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $300.02 was expended in purchasing further timber and ballast for the extension. Total expenditure to March 31, 1914, including the cost of purchase, $1,499.81. SPRY BAY. Spry bay (Henleys) is situated about 70 miles east of Halifax city, Halifax county. The adjacent population numbers about 1.000 and are chiefly engaged in fishing and farming. In the fiscal year 1913-14, the department expended the sum of $2,798.58 in the partial construction of a block and span wharf. The work done consists of a length of 12s feet by 20 feet, with an average height of 14 feet, comprising an approach and three cribs. The work when completed will be 210 feet long. 20 feet wide, with an " L ' of pile work 20 by 25 feet. Work was begun in August, 1913, and suspended March 9. 1914. SPRY HARBOUR. Spry harbour, Halifax county, is the eastern arm of Spry hay. It is well sheltered, free from ice, and close to the route of the steamer making weekly trips between Sheet harbour and Halifax. Around the harbour, within a radius of 2 miles, there is a population of about 200, chiefly engaged in fishing and farming. In 1908-9, the sum of $731.49 was expended in the construction of a small public wharf which was not quite completed. During the year 1909-10, the sum of $744.16 was expended in completing the wharf. The work consists of a block and span wharf, with a stone and gravel approach; the approach is 20 feet wide, 50 feet long, and from 3 to 8 feet high, and the wharf 20 feet wide by 130 long, 20 feet high at the outer end, where there is a depth of water of 10 feet at L.W.O.S.T. In the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $50 was expended in repairing the wall of the approach and in replacing a portion of the ll ior planting which had become dilapidated.

Sterling Brook, Hants county, is situated on the north shore about 3 miles Jaitland and about 5 miles east of Selma. where there is also a public wharf. The Qation is about 300 and the shipments of lumber amount to about one million annually. Small shipments of farm produce and hay are also made from this pi In the fiscal year 1912-13, the sum of $1,419.32 was expended in the partial con- traction of a wharf at Sterling Brook. This is a pile wharf SO feet long, of which 60 feet is 42 feet wide, and 20 feet is 20 feet wide. An approach of erihwork. 25 feet g and 20 feet wide was constructed. Piles were also driven and cover put in ce, and a small point was removed to improve the river channel. In the fiscal year 1010-14. the sum of $249.03 was expended in placing a number fenders around the face of the wharf and finishing up the wharf generally with guard rails and mooring posts, etc. A quantity of mud was removed from the approach to the wharf, making it more convenient of access. Work begun in June and closed September 4, 1013. SUMMERYILLE. Summerville. Queens county, is a small fishing and farming settlement of about 250 people, situated on the Atlantic coast of Queens county, S miles southwest of Liverpool. To 1878, the department built a breakwater for the accommodation and shelter of 'fishing vessels. The work was about 200 bet long, 20 feet wide on top, ami 16 feet high on the outer end. In the year 1^02. about half of this work was destroyed, but was repaired. In the winter of 1899, a heavy storm completely destroyed the breakwater. Examination being made, it was decided to construct a work of a more rmanent nature, so that in the year 1900-1, a breakwater was constructed on a site immediately contiguous to the old site. This work consists of large stones cemented together and securely fastened to each ther by large iron dogs. The centre of the work is about half solid concrete. It consists of an approach 58 feet long 12 feet wide on top and 6 feet high on the outer end. and a main structure 90 feet in length, 24 feet wide on top, 33 feet on the bottom, with a height at the outer end of 111 feet. During the past fiscal year, the amount of 81,655.10 was expended upon this work. Work was commenced on August 0. and mpleted on the 31st of October, 1913. For 60 feet of its outside face, and a width - 4 feet, this portion of the work was rebuilt to a depth of 13 feet. Besides this, the outside 40 feet for a depth of 2 feet and a width of 10 additional feet, was practically renewed. The main work, however, consisted of an extension to the present break- water, 20 feet long. 22 feet wide ou top, with a height on the outside face of 18 feet. The style of construction was similar to that of the present breakwater, the outside ■•■ stones being dogged together with lj-inch round iron dogs from 3 to 5 feet in length. Spring tides rise 7 feet: neap, 5 feet. SWIMS POINT. Swims point is located at the southeast end of Clarke's harbour, or what i- ■ally termed Lower Clarke's harbour. There is a public wharf, constructed in the c 1S99 by this department, situated at this place. It is the most important wharf in that vicinity, and exceeds in importance any other wharf in the western sectio r-helburne county. The coastal steamers plying between Yarmouth and the si points call twice a week, and boats plying between these points and St. John and Halifax likewise utilize this wharf; there is about 14 feet of water at the head of it at L.W.O.S. I'.. anchi rage. Cn or ler to make the approach to'the wharf , and to improve the docks along the sides, it was decided to expend a sum not iv REPORT OF Till-: CBIEF ENGINEER 85 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 exceeding $5,000 in removing boulders and rocks in that vicinity. Work was com- menced "ii January 2, 1914, but, owing to weather conditions, ceased on tin' 5th of the same month. It was again resumed early in March and. at the end of I he fiscal year, about $2,600 had been expended. Authority has been received for npletion of this work during the month of April, 1914. Up to the end of the fiscal year, namely, the 81st el March, 313 cubic yards of stone had been removed. These stones arc mostly embedded in the mud, and considerable difficulty has been met in obtaining successful removal. The cost per yard, up to that date, is $8.32, but the total work should show a yardage cost ranging from $7.60 to $7.90, which would make the cost per ton between $3. SO and $3.90. The character of the stone removed is granite with a few exceptions, where boulders of blue whin were encountered. Spring tides rise bore 9 feet; neap, :.J feet. TANGIER. Tangier, Halifax county, is a thriving settlement with a scattered population of 500 to 600. It is situated at the head of Tangier harbour, 50 miles east of Halifax. In the neighbourhood are extensive gold areas famous fur having produced the largest nugget (27 ounces) ever found in Nova Scotia. In the year 1907-8, the sum of $2,080.89 was expended in the construction of a block and span wharf. The following year the sum of $628.89 was expended in the completion of the road approach. The work, as completed, consists of a rock and earth approach 80 feet long and 25 feet wide. During the year 1911-12, the sum of -^ M ' > . : 1 7 was expended in the construction of a small freight shed on the wharf. In the year 1913-14, the sum of $1,222.61 was expended in repairs to the approach and wharf. The road was repaired by rebuilding wall on the seaward side for a length of 575 feet, an average height of 2 feet; the width of the road was increased by 6 feet, filled in and graded. New flooring was also placed over a portion of the wharf. Work begun in October, 1913. and was finished January P. 1914. TATAMAGOUCHE. Tatamagouche, Colchester county. i< an important town on Northumberland strait. 30 miles from Truro. It is also an important station on the Intercolonial Short Line running from Oxford Junction to Pictou. During the fiscal year 1905-6, the department expended the sum of $1,116.10 in beginning the construction of a cribwork wharf. In 1906-7, the department expended the sum of $S10.27 in completing the work. It consists of a cribwork wharf built over and around the ancient structure. The completed work was loo feel long, 62 feet wide and, at the outer end, 14 feet high, with a depth of water of 12 feet. In the fiscal year 1912-13, the sum of $886.15 was expended in the reconstructs of Mock and span work, 146 feet long, 20 feet wide and with a 10-foot " £." Repairs were also made to the approach. In the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $149.99 was expended in the replankiijg of 4,000 li.ni. of the wharf, in placing eight new fenders, and in making miscellaneous re iai rs 1" the work.

The inhabitants are wholly dependent upon the fishing industry for their livelihood. 86 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 The department, in the fiscal year 1913-14, constructed a block and span wharf 121 feet long, 25 feet wide, with an average depth of 15 feet. The expenditure for this work was $4,321.42. An extension to this wharf is asked for at an estimated cost of $4,000. Work begun in August, 1913, and suspended January 6, 1!>14. THE SQUAM. The Squam, Lunenburg county, is a channel between Moser's island on the south and Wolfe's island on the north, of the La Have island group, about 14 miles southerly from the town of Bridgewater. To provide a shorter route for the fishermen, 2,500 cubic yards of mud were removed by hand digging to obtain a depth of 4 feet at low water. Work was done between September 25 and October 23. at a cost of $499.47. THE TI11U M. Upper Port LaTour, Shelburne county, is a small fishing settlement situated on the -lan-e of Negro harbour, a distance of 7 miles from Port Clyde. The fishing industry is practically the only occupation of the people, and about twenty-five men are engaged in the same. The Thrum is a small mound or hill situated about 800 feet from the main shore, to which it is connected by a stone and gravel beach. The northern side of this beach has, in past years, been used as a boat harbour by the fishermen, but it is being gradually levelled off and washed away by the action of the sea. This gradual washing away of the beach assumed such serious proportions that the protection afforded the fishermen, who use this small harbour, was threatened with d' t miction. In view of that fact, the department, during the present year, constructed a beach protection running along both sides of the beach, upon which the sum of $1,521.19 was expended. Work was commenced about August 15 and completed about November 22, 1913. During the winter, an unusually heavy formation of drift ice caused a break in this protection, and the sum of $125, which is included in the above expenditure, was expended in the month of February in repairing this work. It is 844 feet in length and 0 feet high. It takes the form of a heavy fence consisting of 4-inch plank, placed close together so as to form a continuous 6-foot high wall above the surface of the beach, for its entire length. These plank are fastened with 9-inch spikes to 8-inch posts sunk into the ground 5 feet, and distant from each other 8 feet, along the entire length of the work. These arc braced with 8-inch braces, each of which rests upon a mud sill sunk 2 feet below the surface. Spring tides rise 8 feet ; neap, 5i feet. THE WHARVES. The Wharves, Lunenburg county, is the name given to a settlement in the district of Cherry Hill, where there is an exposed harbour. This place lies 9 miles west of Petite Eiviere, and has a population of about 200. During the fiscal year 1910-11, the sum of $632.98 was expended in the purchase of timber for construction work to be carried on in the next fiscal year. During the fiscal year 1912-13, the sum of $1,959.03 was expended in the partial construction of a breakwater. The work done measured 195 by 20 feet, and had an average height of 6 feet. Timber was purchased for the continuation of the work under the 1913-14 appropriation. In the fiscal year 1913-14, the sum of $1,499.76 was expended in the completion of the wharf begun last year; 60 feet in length of new work was constructed and connected with the older portion begun last year. The completed work measures 255 feet long, 20 feet wide and is about 10 feet in height. Work begun in October, and was completed December 17, 1913. iv REPORT OF THE CEIE>F ENGINEER 87 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 TEOI I i 0\ E. Trout cove, Digby county, is on the Hay of Fundy coast of Digby Neck, mid- way between Digby Gut and Petite Passage, or about 18 miles from either. The settlement at and near the cove, which is called Centreville, has a population of about 400, engaged in fishing' and farming. A factory for the canning of finnan baddies, kippered herring, etc., does a considerable business. A breakwater was begun in 1856 by the inhabitants, aided by the Provincial Government. It was extended in 1S76 by the department, and since that date iiumer- mis expenditures have been made in repairs, renewals and extension of which a full a,ecount will be found in the departmental report for 1911-12 aud 1912-13. For the purpose of Constructing an entirely new breakwater, the department, in 1912, awarded a contract to Messrs. MacKay Bros, of Sydney, N.S., representing the Norfolk Creosoting Company, of Norfolk, Va., for the supply of 520,000 feet, b.m., of 10 by 12-inch creosoted pine at the contract price of $54.75 per thousand, deliv- ered. The first cargo, comprising 460,000 feet, b.m., arrived at Trout cove on the 17th of August. 1912. The second cargo of 60,000 feet, b.m., was expected to 'arrive in April. Early in August, a contract was awarded to Mr. E. E. Keid, for the construction of the new breakwater, for the sum of $44,500, the department furnishing the creo- soted timber. The work was begun about the Sth of August, 1912, construction being closed down for the season at the end of November. Since that date, the contractor delivered on the site of the work a considerable quantity of timber and ballast, and at the end of March, 1913, the total value of work done and materials delivered by the contractor was $8,450. On the 1st of April, 1913, work was resumed, and during the year up to Sep- tember 30, progress estimates amounting to $36,270 of the total contract price of $44.5ii[i, were allowed the contractor. In the autumn, the work was as usual closed down and left safe for the winter, the contractor again beginning work in the spring of 1914. The work throughout its progress has been carried on with due diligence, and in an economical and business-like manner, aud when completed will be of the follow- ing dimensions : — Feet.

Up to 5 feet above L.W.O.S.T., the work will be composed of creosoted pine timber, 10 by 12 inches; the remainder, native round-log cribwork. Besides a freight shed and waiting room, the breakwater has been provided with ramp and steps on the harbour side, for the accommodation of freight find passen- gers during the rise and fall of tide. Spring tides rise 23 feet. The sum of $502.49 was expended in removing some ledge rock that obstructed the boat berth alongside the new breakwater, now under construction, and the sum of $80. 77 was expended in effecting emergent repairs to the old breakwater. VICTORIA BRIDGE. Victoria Bridge, Cape Breton county, is situated at the southern end of Mira lake, about 26 miles inland from the mouth of the Mira river, and is respectively 13 and 21 miles above Albert and Marion bridges, both of which are drawbridges. 88 DEPAR1 UENT OF POBLIO WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 During the summer season, a small steamer is engaged in the passenger and freight traffic, and in towing scows carrying coal and merchandise on her upward trip and pit-timber on her downward trip. As it is both difficult and expensive and sometimes almost impossible to land freight and passengers, the construction of a wharf was decided upon, and during 1913-14, the sum of $881.95 was expended by day labour in the construction of a block and span wharf, 96 feet in length and 20 feet in width, and extending to 9 feet at low water. WALTON. Walton, Hants county, is the mouth of La Tete river, and is situated on the south shore of the Basin of Minas, bay of Fundy, about 14 miles northeast of Cheverie, at the mouth of the Avon river. The village of Walton, which is situated at the head of the harbour on its northeast side, has a population of 500. The most important industry of the place is the shipment of gypsum, of which from 2,500 to 35,000 tons annually are shipped to the United States. The annual lumber shipment varies from two to rive million feet. For the protection of the harbour, a breakwater was built by the department in 1891 at a cost of $6,170, by contract. The work is 250 feet long. 28 feet high at the outer end. and 22 feet wide on top. At the outer rial of the work is a depth of 24 Feet at high tide. During the fiscal year 1910-11, the sum of $176.19 was expended in making repairs to the end of the work which was run into and damaged by a tow boat. During the fiscal year 1913-14. the sum of $1,000 was expended in general repairs to the breakwater; the top row of longitudinals and cross-ties were removed and replaced with new material: the whole work was replanked and new guard timbers and fenders were placed on the inner side. A block and span wharf 400 feet long and 25 feet wide, with an average height of 25 feet was started by Albert Parsons, contractor; the amount of the contract was $1 4,400, and the gross expenditure $6,356.25. Work was begun in August and completed December 9, 1914. WASHABUI K CENTRE. Washabuck, Victoria county, is a district on the south side of the eastern end of St. Patrick's channel, an arm of the Little Bras d'Or lake, and extends about 6 miles along the shore. As the name implies, Washabuck Centre is situated near the centre of the district. In order to facilitate the shipment of agricultural produce and cattle from the district, on April 6, 1903, a contract was entered into for the sum of $5,S60, for the construction of a wharf. The work of construction was commenced on July 1, 1903, and was brought to a -factory completion on September 9, following. It consists of a block and span wharf, 218 feet long, extending to 12 feet at low water, 20 feet wide, with an "I* at the outer end, 20 feet by 20 feet, and of a road to connect it with the public road, 102 feet lung on the centre line, and 20 feet wide, fenced in on each side. The blocks and the shore abutment are constructed of round-timber cribwork, laid open-faced, with creosoted timber substructure and the two outer blocks are protected by close- sheathing "ii their outer faces. During 1908-9, the sum of $199.9S was expended in raising the guard timbers a height of 20 inches on the channel face of the outer block and around its outer corners, for a distance of 10 feet, and in slight repairs to the inner end of the shore abutment of the wharf. iv REPORT OF TEE CHIEF ENGINEER 89 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 During 1913-14, the sum of $99.68 was expended in renewing portions of the covering, which, in places, were in a dangerous c iition, and 2,400 fee) b.m. of 3-inch plank were used in the repairs. \\ EST BAI CARO. West Baccaro, Shelburne county, is about 3 miles wesi of the village of Port LaTour, and has a population of about 100, practically all of whom are dependi upon the fishing industry for their livelihood. It is one of the roughesl spots on our Coast, and in the year 1903-4, in order to convert a partially low tide pond into a boat harbour, the department constructed 1,053 feet in length of cribwork of the beach protection style, along two sides of this pond, leaving a channel on the inner end of the pond as a moans of entrance thereto, which channel was 2#5 feet in length, 25 feet in width, and 3 feet in depth. The cribwork thus constructed is 8 feet wide on top and from 4A to 12 feet in height. During the fiscal year 1910-11, $1,954.12 was expended in extending this breakwater at its northern end, so that the extension formed a wharf, at which the small steamers plying along this coast could call. The extension con- structed during that year was 120 feet in length, consisting of continuous cribwork, the first 100 feet being S feet wide, and the last 20 feet being 20 feet. During the past fiscal year, the sum of $1,231.38 was expended in constructing a further extension northward to thi.s. work, 40 feet in length, 20 feet width, with a height of 21 feet at the outer end. This consists of cribwork, continuous round log, stone-filled to tin' top, with the usual covering. Besides this, the entrance was still further deepened, about $150 of this amount being expended upon that portion of the work. Work was commenced about the middle of September, and completed about the 10th of December. 1913. Spring tides rise 81 feet; neap, 51 feet. WEST BERLIN. West Berlin, Queens county, is a village of about 300 people, all of whom are fishermen, but do a slight amount of farming as well. It is situated about 8 miles northeast of Liverpool. In the year 1900, a beach protection some 450 feet in length was constructed along the outside of the beach at the entrance to the small harbour. During the past year, the sum of $399.93 was expended in effecting repairs to this work and extending it, an additional 30 feet, so as to prevent the landing being filled up with rocks washed around the end of the old work. Work was commenced on the 18th of March, and completed on the 31st of March, 1914. The material was procured in the fall but, owing to the heavy weather prevailing late in that season, it was deemed advisable to wait until spring before doing the work. About thirty longi- tudinal logs wTere replaced, twelve fenders, and the cribwork extension as before referred to, 30 feet in length, 0 feet wide on top, with the usual batter, was built, also about 100 tons of ballast which had been removed from the cribs by ice and storms of former years, was replaced. Tides rise: spring, 7 feet; neap, 5 feet. WEST CHEZZETCOOK. West Chezzetcook, Halifax county, is situated on the western side of Chezzetcook inlet, which lies 16 miles east of Halifax. The inlet is from half to three-quarters of a mile wide at its mouth, extends.-5 miles inland, and receives the waters of several small lakes at its head. The population of the village is about TOO to 1,000, located in a scattering manner along the western shores of the inlet. The inlet itself, which has an average width of 1 mile, is shallow, with a bottom of mud and sand so that at low water extensive flats are laid bare. There is, however, a narrow, tortuous channel. running to the extreme head of the inlet with a depth of from 0 to 8 feet at T ,W.< > S.T., which is used by numerous fishing schooners and other small craft, such as three- and 90 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 four-hand fishing boats and skirt's. Owing to the gradual filling up of the entrance the channel with accumulation of sand, a breakwater or mole was constructed by this department, in 1892, at a cost of $11,160.77 (contract). The work was designed to create scour and deepen and improve navigation facilities at the entrance to the channel: it is built in a westerly direction from the southern end of Conrod's island, which forms the western side of the western channel entering the iulet. At this point the channel from high water to high water was 1,500 feet wide: therefore, from the cud of the breakwater to high water is now only 600 feet. This contraction of the channel had the effect of forming a strong current at ebb and flow, and the fine sand along the face of the work was scouring to such an extent as to cause the whole length of the " L " to settle from 4 to 6 feet, and the stem of the work, or the seaward 900 let. from 2 to 1 feet. This scouring necessitated the placing of a substantial toe of brush and stone along both sides of the work. The breakwater has a total length of 1,100 feet, id' which 900 feet is at right angle- to the channel, and the remaining 200 feet, or " 1;", parallel to it. At the southern end of the " L " is a square block 30 by 30 feet which is close sheathed with vertical sheathing ."> inches thick. The1 resl of the work was ordinary open eribwork.' stone-filled, with sides battering 1 in 5 and a top width of 15 feet. Between the years 1895-1910, numerous small expenditure- were made in repairs. In the year 1911, the department expended the sum of $836.1-5 in making repairs to the outer portion of the work. The sum of $980.75 was also expended in con- structing a stone and earth approach to the public wharf on the mainland on the western side of the harbour and in the purchase id' timber for the completion of the work during the year 1912-13. In the fiscal year 1912-13, the department expended the sum of $600.51 in com- pleting repairs to the breakwater, and the sum of $1,119 in the completion of a wharf begun in the last iisoal year. The repairs to the breakwater consisted of raising the outer portion of the work about 2 feet in height, replacing fenders, floor-stringers and planking, and in making other general repairs. The wharf has a length of 110 feet, a width of 25 feet, and height of from 8 to 20 feet, with an "L" measuring 25 feet by 30 feet, with a height of 20 feet. The approach to the wharf is liMi feet long by :_'."> feet wide. During the fiscal year V.H0-14. the department expended the sum of $999.78 in repairs to the breakwater. Twenty-five new pieces of sheathing and sixty new fenders were placed. The breakwater was raised 2 feet for a length of 445 feet and a witdh of 15 feet with new material and re-covered with the old planking. Work begun in July and ended October 27, 1913. u EST 1«>\ Kit. West Dover, Halifax county, is a small fishing village situated on the Atlantic Coast, 38 mile- west of Halifax, just cast of the entrance to St. Margaret's bay. with a population of 400. The department, in tin- fiscal year of 1913-14, expended the sum of $2,131.86 in the construction of a solid native timber eribwork wharf, 65 feet long. 50 feet wide and having an average height of is feet. I'ii. work was begun in October and finished the 8th of December, 1913. WESTERS SHORE. Western Shore, Lunenburg county, is situated mi Mahone bay, 9 mile- southeast of Mahone. .'I miles east of Martins river, and 1 mile west of Gold river. It is a Station on the Halifax and Southwestern railway, and has a scattered population of about 200, engaged chiefly in farming and lumbering. Many of the men are employed in the summer months on bank fisheries. iv REPORT OF THE OBIEF ENGINEER 91 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 Jn the fiscal year 1912-13, lln- sum of $808.69 was expended in the construction of an approach far a wharf which ii was proposed to construct. The approach measured TO feet in length, 20 feet in width, and 9 feel high a1 th iter end. The sum of $1,892.25 was expended in the purchase oi timber in readiness for construction work in 1913-14. in r.»l.'M4, the sum of $2,989.96 was expended in the construction of a wharf; the work done is 380 feet long, 20 feel wide, and has an " L" 50 feet long by 30 [i i wide, with an average height of is feel. Work begun in June and ended October 13, 1913. v, EST HEAD. This headland is the westernmost point on Cape Sable island, and is situated about 2 miles from Olarkes harbour. It is at the southwest end of Barrington Passage, and is an important fishing section. Owing to its situation, it is the mosl convenient and easiest point of approach for the coasting- steamers which require the use of the several small ports of call on that island. As it is in such an exposed position, a combined breakwater wharf was the only work which would accommodate the shipping and, at the same time, adequately protect the boats or vessels which might be loaded or lying along its sides. Between the years 1907-9, the work was constructed. It consists of a rock hank 100 feet long. 24 feet wide on top, and 247 feet in length of solid continuous cribwork, the first 2o7 feet being 20 feet wide on top, whilst the latter 40 feet is 50 feet wide. It lias a height at the outside end of 28 feet. During the past fiscal year, $1,872.44 was expended in constructing a barrier along the front of this wharf, and in procuring of material necessary for the lengthening of the head an additional 20 feet. The work was commenced on October 27, and ceased on November 28, 1913. The break was constructed of 12- by 12-inch squalre timber, 6 feet above the top of the wharf on the outside face of the same, and supported by piles 14 feet long for every 5 feet of its length. The material for the extension was also procured, but as it was late in the season, the construction of it was postponed. Spring tides rise 12 feet; neap, 9 feet. WEST PORT. Westport, Digby county, is a thriving village of about 700 people, engaged in fishing and farming, situated on the northwest end of Briar island, on the southeast side of Grand Passage, 40 miles southwest of Digby Gut. The annual value of the fishing catch is between three and four hundred thousand dollars. Westport is a port of call for a subsidized steamer plying between St. John. Yarmouth, and other ports in the Bay of Fundy. The sum of $10,770 was expended in 1911-12 by the department in building, by contract, a wharf or pier of pilework. The structure is 396 feet long, with an "L" at the outer end, giving a face length of 75 feet, and a depth of water along the whole front of 12 feet at L.W.O.S.T. On the south side of the wharf is an inclined slip or ramp, 10 feet wide, with a slope of 1 in 9, terminating in a level platform, 20 feet long, 5 feet above L.W.O.S.T. Tu the angle of the " L " is a combined freight shed and waiting room, 31 by 19 feet. In the outer 226 feet in length of the wharf, the whole of the bearing piles are of Virginia loblolly pine, impregnated with 14 pounds of creosote to the cubic foot. All the piles in the rest of the structure are of native timber. The caps, braces, stringers, and guard timbers are of Georgia pine. 92 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 In 1912-13, the sum of $467-88 was expended in constructing a bulk-head, or wave breaker, of 5-inch plank, along the outer face of the pier, and a flight of steps in the • L." In 1913-14, the sum of $19.09 was expended in the construction and placing of a ladder on the fare of the wharf, to facilitate the landing from steamers and ether craft at low water. WEST PUBNICO. West Pubnico, Yarmouth county, is situated 30 miles southwest of Yarmouth. Pubnico harbour is about 6 miles long, from mouth to head, lying due north and south, and three-quarters of a mile to a mile and a half wide. On the west side of the harbour and about 3 miles above its mouth, a wharf was built by the department in 1885-6-7. The work consists of a stone and gravel cause- way or embankment, 285 feet long, followed by a pile-work wharf, 230 feet long. 25 • wide, and from 10 to 14 feet high. Between 1908 and 1913, several expenditures were made by the department in repairs, renewals, and extensions. In 1913-14, the department expended the sum of $1,400 in renewing 100 feet in length of the floor of the wharf, including stringers, covering and guard timbers. The work was satisfactorily completed. WEYMOUTH. Weymouth, Digby county, population about 1,200, is the second important town of Digby county, situated 20 miles southwest from Digby, the county town. It is an important station on the I). A. Ry., 1T<> miles from Halifax, 47 miles from Yarmouth. It is on the Sissiboo river, 3 miles above its mouth. In the fiscal year 1913-14. the Halifax Dredging and Construction Co., in con- tinuation of their last year's contract, removed by their spoon dredge Ferguson, 58,6 '7 cubic yards of sand, gravel, and mud, scow measurement, in widening the channel at the mouth of the river to a width of LOO feet and a depth of 8 feet at L.W.O.S.T. The work was begun on the 2nd of May. and completed on the loth of October, 1913. Its object was to improve tin' channel on account of large sailing vessels that loaded lunii he South American market at the wharves immediately below the highway bridge. ■WHITE POINT. White Point. Qu& ty, is a fishing settlement about tl miles west of Liver- pool, having a population of from 300 to 400 people, most of whom are engaged in fishing. The breakwater, constructed by the department about thirty years ago. was not high enough to protect the inside, which i? used by the fishermen for a landing. This breakwater was repaired during the last fiscal year, but owing to general condi- tions, it was not considered tenable for a much longer period. It was decided that in reconstructing this work, permanent material had better be employed. During the last fiscal year, the amount of $3,803.31 was expended in constructing a cement and stone breakwater, similar to that at Summerville, Hunts Point, and r places along this shore. This work, when completed, will lie 15 feet wide on top, long, with a short approach 35 feet long and 8 feel wide, which former ap- gs to the old work. Work was commenced on July 23 and completed mber 17. 1913; 104 feet in length of the breakwater was constructed, leaving .'a: requiring construction, the inside wall is practically plumb, while the a hatter of ] to 1. Spring tides rise 7 feet, neap, 4i feet. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 93 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 WHITES i "\ E, Whites Cove, Digby county, is a settlement of about LOO people, engaged in fishing and farming, situated on the shore of St. Mary's bay, about 5 miles south of Wey- mouth. In 1903-4, the department expended $1,804.63 in extending and repairing an ancient cribwork wharf. The now block is 38 feel square and from Is- to 20 feel high, substantially built of round-log cribwork. The next LOO feet in Length, shore- ward, was also taken down and rebuilt, and the whole wharf, 260 feet long, was levelled up with gravel. From 1904 to 1912, several expenditures were made, a full account of which can be seen in the departmental report for 1911-12. In 1913-14, the construction of a protecting detached breakwater was undertaken. The work, which is satisfactorily completed, is 70 feet long. 30 feet wid i top, and from L8 to 21 feet high, substantially built of native timber, filled with ballast, and provided with a break on the seaward face, IV feet high. The total expenditure for this work was $3,934.65. WHITEWATERS. Whitewaters, Kings county, is a small fanning and lumbering settlement of about 200 people, situated on the west coast of Minas Basin, about three-quarters of a mile south of Cape Blomidon, and 10 miles northeast of the village of Canning. In 1897-98, the department built a public wharf at a cost of $3,999.08, by day labour. It i- 2S5 feet long, 20 feet wide with an "L" at the outer end 35 feel long, where at high water ordinary spring tides there is a depth of 17 feet of water. The wharf is constructed of block and span work. The blocks are solid cribwork. 19 feet long, in the stem of the wharf, the spans being 14 feet in clear opening. From 1901 to 1913, several expenditures were made, a full account of which can be seen in the departmental report for 1912-13. In 1913-14, the sum of $149 was expended in the construction of a piece of crib- work for the protection of the approach to the shore end of the breakwater, 20 feet Longi L0 feet wide, and 13 feet high. The work was satisfactorily completed. WHITNEY PIER. Dredging. Whitney Pier, Sydney, Cape Ureton county, is a large residential and manufac- ing district, at the extreme northern end and within the limits id' the city of Sydney. All the different plants of the Dominion Steel and the shipping piers of the Dominion Coal and Steel Company, as well as many other industries, are located in the district. During 1908-9-10, the department constructed a public wharf 620 feet in length, and extending to only 6 feet at low water, as it was not advisable to extend it to a greater depth, for fear of exposing the outer end to the heavy pressure of running ice in the spring. In order to make the wharf available for small vessels at all times of tide, on July 10, 1912, a contract was entered into with the Costal Dredging and Con- struction Co., Ltd., of Sydney, for the dredging of the approach to the wharf, to a depth o^ 11 feet at low water. Spring tides rise 5 feet. The company's dredge Cadeco commenced operations .Inly 9. 1912, and con- tinued until August 20 following, when tin:' amount of dredging contracted for was completed by removing, during that period, 25,006 cubic yards, scow measurement, of sand, gravel, hardpan and layer reel;, at 34 eouts per cubic yard, plus 3 cents per yard for extra towage, and in overcasting 654 cubic yards of 94 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 sand and hard pan at 22§ cents per cubic yard, but owing- to the presence of solid rock at the outer end of the wharf, the depth required could only be carried into within 50 feet from its miter end. The work done covered an area of about 260 feet in length and of an average width of about 325 feet. A- the depth of 11 feet at low water was considered insufficient for the accom- modation of the fast-increasing business of the district, it was decided not only to complete the dredging to 11 feet of water commenced during 1912-13, but to increa e the whole area to a depth of 16 feet at low water. The Government dredge Gape Union commenced operations on October 27. 1913, and continued until November 27 following, when the work was suspended for the winter. During that period, the dredge removed 10,075 cubic yards, scow measure, of sand, clay, and shale rock; the work performed consisted in dredging to 12 feet at low water within 15 feet of outer end of wharf, and en the southern, side of its outer end for a distance of 10O feet inwards, in a width of about SO feet, and in cutting a channel to 16 feet at lew water. 420 feet in length, and ill) feet, in width on the southern edge of the proposed work. VVHYCOCOMAGH. Wlrycocomagh, Inverness county, i- a. village en the north side of a bay of the same name at the head of St. Patrick"- channel, an arm of the Bras d'Or lake. A private wharf, with a warehouse and right of way to .the public road, was purchased in 1897-8, and repaired and extended in 1898-9, and 1899-1900. The wharf was then 228 feet long, including 114 feet .if stonework^1 21 feet wide, and S4 feet of pile-work, 25 feet wide over 50 feet of its length and 60 feet wide over the outer 21 feet, built over the,remains of an old block and span structure. During 1902-3-4-5 and 1!UI7-V. expenditures were made in slight repairs to the wharf, warehouse and approach. During the fiscal .year 1910-11. the muu of $2,398.11 was expended in nearly completing a triangular pile-head, 7 s feet long, on chanenl face by 83 feet in Jine of work, to replace a pile-head which was in a dilapidated condition. Depth along channel face. 1-2\ feet a1 low lake level. During 1911-12, the sum of $565.90 was expended by day labour in completing the work in progress during the preceding year. The work done consisted in the placing of about 2,000 feet, p.m., of covering, 18 fender pile-. 2 mooring piles and about 3,000 feet, b.m., of chocks. During 1913-14, the sum of $522.80 was expended in repairs to .the >tone approach to the wharf, in repairs to the old warehouse, in the construction of a small warehouse, 10 by 12 feet, ^it the outer end of the wharf, and in the construction of a motor-boat landing on the western side of the inner end of the wharf. Dredging. The wharf extend- to about 10 feet at low water and is the lauding place for two subsidized steamers and for a number of schooners carrying coal to, and lumber or farm produce from, this port Of the two subsidized steamers, one makes tri-weekly trips between this port and the Sydneys, via Bras d'Or Lake ports, and the other calls weekly on her way from Halifax to the Sydneys. The deptli of water at the wharf and in front of it having been found too shallow for the business of the port, it was decided to deepen it to 13 feet at low water, around the sides, for a distance of 100 feet, in a width of 100 feet, and form a basin 300 feet by 300 feet in front of the wharf, and in a channel, 400 feet long by 100 feet wide, and a contract was entered into with the Atlantic Dredging Company. Ltd., of Louisbuig. for the removal of 27.000 cubic yards scow measure at 19 cents per yard. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 95 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 On Septembei 25, 1913, the dredge Pepperell commenced operations and continued until November 6 following, when the work specified was completed l>y the removal of 27.05S cubic yards of muck, at a cost of $5,141.02. It having been found thai a bar existed outside of dredged channel, with less than L3 feet of water, an arrangement with the Atlantic Dredging Co. was made I'm- an extension of the channel to 13 feet at low water for a distance of "(Ml feet, involving the removal el' 11.N00 euhie yards. seow measure, of material. Operations were resumed by the company on November 21, and continued until December 19, 1913, when the amount agreed upon was removed, but the work was no1 quite completed; as the iee was forming, at the time, the work had to be suspended. u I x DSOR. Windsor, Hants county, is one of the most important shipping ports in Nova Scotia, and is situated on the Avon river at the head of Minas Basin. The industries of the town employ about 400 hands, and about 100,000 tons of manufactured plaster are shipped annually. The population is about ;>,500. To provide berths for vessels in front of the wharves, and to preserve a depth of 20 feet below top of wharfage. 4,200 cubic yards of mud were removed between August 4 and September 25 by hand digging, at a cost of $2,520. WOODS II UIBOUR. Woods Harbour is a settlement some 5 miles in length about 10 miles west of Barrington Passage. It has a population in all of about 1,400 people, and is divided into Upper, Central and Lower Woods Harbour. Lower Woods Harbour, where the work was performed, is the upper portion of this settlement. It has about five stores, two churches, a three-roomed school-house, and a hall. About (300 people are located in this portion of the settlement, and about 80 motor-boats utilize the harbour: their value would be in the vicinity of $2,500,. and there are two small steamers and three schooners ranging from 80 to 100 tons burden; the value of the steamers and schooners would be about $30,000. The nature of the work was the removal of a dangerous ledge known as Barrel rock, which was located in the centre of the channel, immediately south of the harbour light. The whole ledge was not removed, but tin- water over the top of the rock was deepened 4 feet, so that the channel is now navigable at all times of tide by motor-boats. Work was commenced on August 8, and completed on October 14, 1913. During that time, 597 cubic yards of stone were removed, making the cost per cubic yard $6.60. One cubic yard of this stone equals 2 tons. so that the cost per ton was in the vicinity of $3.30. The nature of the material removed consisted of granite. Spring tides rise here 11 feet; neap. 7 feet. WOLFVILLE. A wharf was built by the department in 1900, destroyed in 1904 and rebuilt in 1905-6. It is now in very bad order and is almost a total wreck. In June, 1914, a wharf, rock filled, 70 by 30 feet with a coal house 25 by 55 feel. and a piece of land containing about 0-59 of an acre was purchased from R. E. Burgess for the sum of $3,200,but as there was a restriction in a former agreement, the pro perty is being expropriated. The wharf and property were transferred to the control of the Department of Marine and Fisheries on 26 September, 1914. YARMOUTH. Yarmouth Bar, Yarmouth county, the harbour lies about NXE. and SSYY. (true), and from the upper wharf to the mouth of the harbour is nearly 4 miles. At 96 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 ; the middle of it- length, and for a distance of about three-quarters of a mile, it is protected from the main waters of the Bay of Fundy by a beach of gravel and shingle, ting Cape Forchu, an island, or more precisely, a peninsula, with Stoney point, uthern extremity of the mainland, forming the western side of the harbour. In 1867, the Provincial Government began the construction of a beach protection rk at Stoney point, and between 1873 and 1875, the Public Works Department built the remaining thousand feet to reach the north end of Cape Forchu. Since 1875, the department has made numerous expenditures in repairs, renewals. and extensions, full particulars of which will be found in the departmental reports for 1911-12 and 1912-13. In 1913-14, the sum of $71.84 was expended on the renewal of about 1,000 feet b.m. of planking, and the respiking of other planking. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. ANNANDALE. Annandale, Kings county, is situated on the north side of the Grand river, mar it- entrance to Boughton bay, and is one of the Prince Edward Island piers assumed by the Dominion Government in 1883-4; its. dimensions, construction, etc. and different expenditures made thereon, being fully described in departmental reports 19Q6-7 and 1912-13. The middle section of the covering of pier head was, in 1912, put in good repair, but it was found necessary, during present season, undertaking the repair of the adjacent portion to the eastward; the work .being commenced November -'7 and com- pleted December 4, a; a cost in all of $2S4.72. BONSHAW. Bonshaw, Queens county, is situated at the head of navigation for small boats on the West river, about 15 miles from Charlottetown, and is the centre of a thickly led district; the road approaches to which, from Charlottetown, being very hilly, a large portion of the heavy freighting in and out is being done by motor-boat from Bonshaw. Use was formally had of the old public road bridge for shipping purposi -. but since latter has been replaced by a steel span, impossible of such use. the required facilities were supplied by the department as described in departmental report of 1912-13. Its approach, however, on the upper part of the river, being very shoal, necessi- tating long wait- for sufficient tide, sonic dredging was requested, and, during the past season, about 1,200 snags, stumps, loi;s and considerable mud, etc., was removed by hand; this proving so satisfactory as to allow fully three hours longer use of the tide. The work was commenced July 14 and was carried on as tide and weather per- mitted up to September 30, 1913, the total expenditure being $367.57. liui.r \ - 1 . Belfast pier. Queens county, also known as Halliday's wharf, is situated on the south side of Orwell Bay. about 1 mile from the village of Eldon. It- construction, dimi ash . etc., a- a1-' repairs and extension made thereto by the department since its control was assumed bj the Dominion Government in 1883-4, are fully described in departmental i I 1905-G. During the present season, October 1 to 31, the western portion of the return or pier head was strengthened by piling, and the ballast, floor-stringers, covering, etc., were renewed. The total expenditure was $341.62. iv REP0R1 OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 97 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 BELLE Hl\ EB. Belle river, Queens county, is situated on the south rid ol the island about i mill-- from Wood islands, and 6 miles cast of the entrance of Pinette harbour. The harbour works arc located at the mouth of the Belle river, and wer amenced by Provincial Government many years before Confederation; they consist of break- waters on either side of the entrance, and two small shipping- piers some distance within. The a< mmodation given by the latter not being deemed sufficient, the department, at the requesl of the shippers, merchants, and residents of the district, during the season of 1912-13, < structed a small wharf 60 feet long and 22 feet wide on the north side of the river or harbour, a distance of 530 feet inward of the north eakwater. During the pasl season, the breakwaters were each extended inwards a distance of 200 feet, in order to protect the channel from the constant drift of sand of file low-lying, surrounding beaches. The work was commenced .Tune 23. and apleted November 11, 1913, at a cost it $3,599.45. L'll VRLOTTETOWN. Charlottetown, Queens county, the capital of the province of Prince Edward Island, with a population of about 12,000, is situated on the north bank of the East or Hillsborough river, near its junction with the North and West rivers, here form- ing one of the finest, land-locked harbours in North America, capable of accommo- dating any number of ships of the largest class. During the season of navigation, the harbour is frequented by many vessels employed in both foreign and coastwise trade. For the year ending March 31, 1012, thirty-five foreign steamers entered and seventy-one cleared, 521 coastwise entered and 521 cleared, while the number of foreign sailing vessels entering numbered 564, and 592 cleared. There are also registered in the province about 149 sailing vessels and twenty steamers. On repre- sentation being made to the department of the delay and loss of time, owing to there being no -lip in the harbour where these vessels may be hauled out for repair, the necessary survey and investigation was made and a report submitted March 19, 1013. rding the feasibility of a marine slip that would accommodate vessels up to 3.000 tons; the approximate estimated cost of such a work being $145,000. During the - miner, a further detail survey, including test borings, was undertaken and the cted to the east of the Southport wharf, directly opposite the city. The accessary land amounting to 6A acres having been purchased from Mr. W. Perley Mutch, tinders were called for the dredging required in connection with approach and foundation, this involving the removal of approximately 130,000 cubic yards of mud and clay, was awarded to Mr. V. T. Bartram, of Toronto, at the rate of 28 cents per cubic yard, place measurement. Operations will probably begin latter part of May or early in -1 line. Dredging. The dredge . Prince Edward having wintered at Charlottetown, and undergone repairs, commenced operations at the "'Plant Line" or "Pickard's" wharf, June 12, completing by September the removal of 29,375 cubic yards (scow) of mud, forming a berth on the east side of the wharf 350 feet long by an average width of 95 feet, giving from 1* to 20 feet of water at low water spring tides on the outer part: the inner 100 feet grading up to 14 feet at low water spring tides; the dredge then proceeded to " Pownal wharf," forming a berth on its west side about 375 feet in length by about On feet in width, and carrying from 18 feet at the outer end up to 11 feet at inner; work was commenced September 0. and completed October 15, removing in that time S.05O cubic yards (scow-) of mud: the Prince Edward then proceeded to Buntain, Bell 19— iv— T 98 'DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 & Co's wharf, forming a berth on the eastern side 150 feet in length by 4n feet in width, carrying 19 feet at low water spring tides on the outer end, grading up to 12 feet on the inner end, removing 5,'300 cubic yards of mud between October 16 and Novemher s. and then left for Mount Stewart. The same dredge having returned December 1. commenced operation on east side of Steam Navigation Co's wharf and continued working until December in. when 3,800 cubic yard-, of clay and shelly rock had" been removed, forming a berth about 200 feet long by 50 feet in width, giving 10 feet at low water. The dredge Montagui commenced, October 23, on the berth occu- pied by the C.G.S. Earl Grey on the eastern side of the Marine and Fisheries wharf, 350 feet long and 80 feet wide, carrying about 20 feet at L.W.S.T., 4.000 cubic yards ow) being removed by November '■'•, when operations were completed. CARDIGAN RIVER SOUTH. Cardigan River (South), Kings county, is situated on the south side of the Car- digan river, a short distance above its entrance' into Cardigan bay. and distant by land about 1\ miles north from Georgetown, or 6 miles by water; a wharf was constructed by the Provincial Government many years ago, but having become unserviceable, and the Provincial Government unwilling to effect repairs, was then transferred to the Dominion Government, who entered into a contract, October 28 last, with the Annan- dale Lumber Co., Ltd., for the sum of $9,637, to construct the present wharf 315 feet long, construct extension 40 feet, a pier head 70 feet, and two guide piers, each 90 feet in length by 20 feet in width, all of pole work foundation and close-face square timber superstructure. Work was commenced February 16 on pier head, TO feet in length. Dredging. As the specification for the above wharf included the dredging of the foundation for guide piers, approach, etc., by the department, authority was given for the Montague to undertake the work. This dredge commenced operations on November 19, and by January 2. when winter quarters were taken up. 4,800 cubic yards of the 12,000 cubic yard- authorized had been removed. The material consisting of hard sand, brick clay, and some remains of the old wharf. Operations were confined entirely to the area required for the foundation of guide piers. The balance of the work, or that necessary in connection with improvement of approach, will be undertaken imme- diately navigation opens. CARDIGAN RIVER. Dredging. The village of Cardigan Bridge, Kings county, is situated at. the head of naviga- tion on the Cardigan river. Here are situated the wharves used in the shipment of the surplus farm produce of the surrounding districts amounting annually to some $40,000, as also import of coal, lumber, limestone, general merchandise, etc., amount- ing to almost, as much more, or about $70,000 to $75,000 in all. From the Dominion Government wharf, known as Lewis's Point wharf, situated about a half mile below the bridge, the channel being narrow and crooked, in places partially obstructed by protruding shoal points, makes the approach of the different wharves difficult for vessels of the larger class. The departmental dredge Montague commenced dredging on November 10 and completed a channel on December 5, during which time S.300 cubic yards, scow measurement, of mud and sand were removed, the average length of cut being 1.400 feet by 40 feet wide, giving 10 feet at low water spring tides, or 15 feet at high water spring tides, that here rise 5 feet. iv REPORT OF Till: CHIEF ENGINEER 99 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 FRENCH RIVER.

Tlic cild wharf, built some twenty years ago, and known as Simpson's wharf, was purchased by the department for $300 and its reconstruction commenced September L6 Work was carried on continuously until October 31, when it was completed at a cost of $2,480.37. It has a total length of lii'4 feet, the outer portion 70 feet in length, carried on bearing piles, capped, floor-stringered, and planked over, being .'!:i feet wide, while the approach 15 1 feet in length and 20 feet wide, has pole foundation and elose- face square timber superstructure, and the roadway is built of broken stone and gravel. FRANKLIN POINT. Franklin point. Queens county, within Charlottetown harbour, is situated on the west hank <>( the North river, near its confluence with the East or Hillsborough and the West river. For accommodation of lots 30, 31, and 32, and generally of the southwestern portion of Queens county, a contract was entered into December 5, 1912, with Messrs. Harvey D. McEwen, Kimble Coffin, and Kimble Webster, for the sum of $24,990, for the construction of a wharf having an approach 540 feet long, and guide piers of dock 110 feet in length by 24 feet in width. The approach has a pole foundation with superstructure of 12-inch by 12-inch timber; the guide piers being constructed entirely of 12-inch by 12-inch close-face timber, the longitudinal and cross ties being timber 12 inches in diameter. The work is to be fully ballasted, and the roadway to be built with broken stone and gravel, ex- cepting the middle section, 158 feet in length, forming approach to slip, which is floor- stringered ami planked over. Work was commenced May 8, and carried on continuously up to November 30, when suspended for the season; the completed work consists in the construction of about the whole work, excepting top portion of the north guide pier which still requires five tiers of face timbers and ballast: inner faces of guide piers also requirt sheathing, etc. GEORGETOWN. Georgetown harbour, Kings county, is situated on the southwest side of Cardigan hay. about '■'> miles within Panmure island, and is one of the finest harbours in the southern part of the gulf of St. Lawrence, next to Charlottetown harbour, and having' depth of water ami space to shelter vessels of the largest class. The wharf known as the Queen's wharf, described in departmental report 1901-2, having been found defective in the covering and floor-timbers of spans, and some settlement and washout occurring in the clay roadway, its repairs were effected; new sidewalk and hand-rail were built, and the western wall of approach was reconstructed, the work being com- menced July 17 and carried on until September 2, when satisfactorily completed, the cosl being $896.37. Dredging. During the month of January, 1913, the departmental dredge Montague worked one-half day at approach to wharf of A. A.

Grand Diver (South) is situated on the south side of the Grand river, Prince . near its entrance into Richmond bay. The wharf was originally built by Provincial Government, about eighteen years ago, with the intention of provid- . _ shipping facilities for the district. The work, of very indifferent construction, shortly became so injured as never to be of use for shipping purposes. To provide (ommodation, a contract was entered into September 20, 1011. with Mr. Roderick McNeill, for $6,499, for it- repair and reconstruction; the portion of the work done in 1912 being as described in departmental report 1912-13. Construction was again resumed last summer and carried on at different times until its completion on October 1. 1913. The value of the work done during the fiscal year was $1,959. Dredging. The wharf extends out to the channel's edge over shoal flats, and in order to provide a berth for shipping at its side, some dredging was necessary. This was performed by the departmental dredge PownaJ, which worked October 8 to Novem- ber 7, removing 4,650 cubic yards of mud and sand, scow measurement, providing a berth 2C0 feet long, 50 feet wide, and carrying 8 to lit feet at Low water spring t - kier's shore, malpeque.

Lower Montague, Kings county, is situated on the southern shore at the mo of the Montague river, being distant, by water, about 1 mile southwest of Georgetown. The place is supplied with three wharves, viz., one the property of the Local G< vern- ment, used for ferry purposes but of no use for shipping; one the property of the Dominion Government, and one privately owned by W. A. Poole & Co.; as all the shipping is done from the latter, and is visited by subsidized steamer, some dredging was found necessary, in order to provide sufficient berth room for vessels and steamer. This work occupied the departmental dredge Montague one day, and being considered of a private nature was paid for at the rate of $115. The work required for the accommodation of subsidized steamer being of a public nature, was undertaken and completed in three days by the same dredge; in all, there being removed 4,000 cubic yards of mud and brick clay, from August 11 to 20. n't m ley's wharf. McCauley's wharf, Queen's county, is situated on the north bank of the Pinette river, near its entrance into Northumberland Straits. The wharf was constructed by the Local Government many years ago, but its repair having been neglected of late years, it had become a complete wreck. The need of shipping facilities being felt at the place, the department has undertaken its reconstruction, and entered into a con- tract with the Annandale Lumber Co., Ltd., on October 28 last, in the sum of $7,438, for the reconstruction of the wharf as follows : Approach. 625 feet long by 20 feet wide, having close-laid pole-work foundation, square-timber superstructure, and clay road- way ; and pier head 50 feet by 30 feet, pole-work foundation, square-timber super- structure, floor-stringered, planked, and close-piled; the work to extend out to the edge of the channel. Materials are now being arranged for, the work will be commnced shortly after departure of ice from the coast, probably about the 1st of May. MONTAGUE RIVER. Montague village. Kings county, is situated at the head of navigation of the Montague river, and terminus of the Montague branch of the Prince Edward Island railway; it has a population of about 1,000. and is surrounded by a richly settled dis- trict, haying fully as many more directly interested in the place as a shipping point, and is one of the busiest centres on the island in the spring and fall; a large num- ber of schooners of from 50 to 200 tons visit it for cargoes; it is also a port of call for ss. Enterprise and Swansea Trader, plying between Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton and Nova Scotia. To provide accommodation for shippers generally, a warehouse was constructed on the Government or Lambert'- wharf; it consists of a frame building 21 by 40 feet, with 12-foot post, single roof and sides battened, costing in all $552.76. The work was done from 21st July to 11th September. 1913. 102 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V.. A. 1915 Dredging.

For further improvement in depth of water and width of river's channel the dredge Montague was employed the past season from April 30 to August :> in removing 54,300 cubic yards, scow measurement, of mud .mil clay, forming a channel approach t.i wharves 3,800 feet in length by LOO feet wide, carryiug 12 feet at low water spring tide. Included in the above is work of a private nature amounting to 1,000 cubic yards, removed at Messrs. Poole & Thompson's wharf, for which the department reeeited payment at the usual rate of $115 per day for dredge and plant: the time occupied at the wharf being seven hours. MOUNT STEWART. Dredging. Mount Stewart. Queens county, is situated at the head of navigation of the Hills- borough, about 18 miles east of Charlottetown. The village has a population of about 500, the surrounding districts being all thickly settled, and are interested in improve- ment of shipping facilities at the place, for accommodation of which suitable wharf- age was provided, as described in departmental reports 1908-9-10 ; the channel, how- ever, approaching the village and wharves, only carrying about 2 feet at low water spring tides, here rising 10 feet, its improvement was commenced in 1911, in com- mencing a channel 100 feet wide for a length of 4,500 feet, to carry 0 or 7 feet at low water spring tides, to 10 feet at high water spring tide-. The work was undertaken by the departmental dredge Prince Edward, which also continued the work during season of 1912, completing about half the required width; for continuance of which the Prince Edward again commenced operations November 12. working up to the 29th of that month, when she was removed to Charlottetown. During her stay at Mount Stewart she removed 4,000 cubic yards, scow measurement, 'if -and ami clay, widen- ing the south side of the channel at its lower end by a cut 25 feet'in width for a dis- tance of 930 feet, to C feet at low water spring tides. Ml KK.W HARBOUR. Dredging. Murray harbour (South river) is situated at the southeastern extremity of Kings county, the river empties into Northumberland strait, and drains a very rich agricultural country. The channel of the South river, immediately within the harbour, is narrow and winding, in places being partially obstructed by shoal, projecting points. Considerable improvement was done on this. on the upper part of the river, from what, is known as the Narrows to the Bridge, some twenty year- ago by the departmental dredge Pri Edward, the channel being straightened and deepened. Of late years, how- ever, this has been gradually silting up, and the lower part had become more diffi- cult of navigating: for improvement of which a contract was entered into June L6 last, with Mr. V. T. Bartram, for the removal of 58*000 cubic yard-, scow measure- ment of sand and clay, at 24 cents per cubic yard: work commenced with the dredge E. B. No. 1 on duly 15 and continued up to the end of August, when 24.457 cubic yards had been removed. The dredge was then removed by the contractor to the north IV REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 103 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 side of the island, but was lost on the way, since when the work ai Murray harbour has no1 been continued. Mr. Bertram has had a dredge ai Oharlottetown for some time, bul encountering very heavy weather on the way, arrived in an unfit condition to proceed with operations. NAUFEAdE. Naufrage, Kings county, is situated on the north coast of the island, about 20 miles west of East Point and 15 miles easl of the entrance into St. Peter's bay, while by mad it is distant about L3 miles directly north from Souris. Description of the pond, and as to whal has been dene by the department towards formation of a small boat harbour at the place, is fully described in the departmental reports of L909-10-12. Owing to the heavy seas breaking through the low portion of the beach to the west of the harbour, carrying sand, etc., into the pond, to prevent which a round-log beach protection work 100 feet Ions, with plank roadway on top, was constructed, connect- ing the west work with the high land. The temporary bridge to accommodate traffic over the run. and giving communication between the two piers, was replaced by one with an opening for boats, having two lifts provided with suitable hand winches on either side. Work was commenced June 23, but was not carried on continuously, being, however, completed by December 10. The total expenditure for the fiscal year being $1 .344.97. NEW I.0M1OX. New London harbour, Queens county, is on the north coast of the island, about midway between the entrance to Richmond bay on the west and Kustico harbour to the east. The bay is about 3 miles long and nearly as broad, receiving the waters of the French, Southwest, Stanley, and Hope rivers, west to east in the order named; all navigable for at least short distances, and having wharves or shipping places, ail giving shipping facilities to rich agricultural districts, the harbour also serving as a refuge to fishermen using the waters in the vicinity, being convenient to some of the best fishing grounds in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. For the improvement of its entrance, which is obstructed by a shifting sand bar, works were commenced by the department in 1S7S, and have since been extended, strengthened, etc., from time to time as described in departmental reports L908-9 and 1012-13. During the pasl season, the sum of $1,383.58 was expended in rebuilding a length of 330 feet of the beach protection at the eeastern side of the entrance, and effecting the strengthening by piling, etc., the north or seaward side of the outer block. The work which was commenced -Tidy 22. was completed November 21. NORTH CARDIGAN. North Cardigan, Kings county, also known as Newport pier, is situated on the north side of the Cardigan river a short distance above its entrance into Cardigan hay and, by water, about 5 miles below Cardigan bridge. It is one of the Prince Edward Island piers assumed by the Dominion Government in 1884, since when it has been about completely rebuilt by different repairs and improvements made to it as described in departmental report of 1904-5. During the present season, October 4 to 21, some slight repairs were made to the roadway, and some renewal of covering. putting in a mooring post, etc., at an expenditure of $98.64. NORTH LAKE. North Lake, Kings county, is situated on the north coast of Prince Edward Island, about 5 miles west of "East Point." and 2 miles north of Flmira station, the terminus of the Elmira branch of the Prince Edward Island railway. 104 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 The lake has a length of about one and a half mile, and is about one-half mile wide at its broadest point, with an extreme depth of 14 feet. The coast is very exposed, no harbour for small boats being available between Naufrage harbour to the west and So iris i' era coast. To supply the desired shelter, plans and specifi- cations were prepared for a boat harbour; estimated to cost $34,000; t< nders on which, however, have not been asked, some of the residents in the vicinity being unwilling to forego possible claims for damages that might arise through the closing up of the present outlet and at sand drift over the shore front of their farms. XORT1I RIVER BRIDGE. North River bridge. Queens county, is situated at the head of navigation on the North river, being distant by water about &l miles from Charlottetown. The sur- rounding districts are rich in agricultural products, shipment of the surplus of which, as also import of coal, lumber, and limestone, etc., was bad by means of the public id bridge, here crossing the river; it^ replacement by a steel structure, however, prohibited its further use for shipping purposes, and to supply the need so caused, the construction of a suitable shipping pier immediately below the bridge was undertaken by i rtment during the prGsenl season, it was at first intended to proceed by days' labour with the work, but it was found impossible to secure suitable timber in the vicinity at that season of the year at reasonable prices. Tenders were then asked for its construction, and a contract entered int i October 28 with Mr. Joseph Hughes for the sum of $3,490; the work to consist of an approach 180 feet long by 20 feet wide of pole-work bottom, square-timber top, and clay roadway, and a pier head 80 feet long by 30 feet wide of similar construction to approach, except that it is floor- stringered and planked over. Materials are now being arranged for. and work will commence shortly after departure of ice from the coast. PINETTE HARBOl R. Pinette harbour and river. Queens county, is situated on the north side of Nor- thumberland strait, about 4 miles east of Point Prim, and by water, distant about 20 miles from Charlottetown, and 12 miles west from Wood islands, the most southerly point of the island. At the head of navigation on the river there is a good shipping pier, as mentioned in departmental reports L899-190O-6, under the control of the Dominion Government. Repairs were made to the floor-stringers, covering, piling, ete.. of the Pinette pier at a cost of $400.85; work b ing mmenei I September 6 and satisfactorily completed October 30. Drt il'.iiiifj- Entering the straits, the river has an obstructing sand bar, carrying only 3 feet at low water springs, or 11 feel at high water springs, that here rise s feet, while otherwise it possessed a channel 200 to 500 feel wide, not carrying less than 12 feet at low water, therefore, the traffic i~ restricted to ;i small class of vessels. To improve the depth of water over the bar. the dredge Montague removed Ki.000 cubic yards of material during season of 1909, forming a channel 1,500 feet long by fin feet wide on top, and carrying s feet at low water, but owing to the sandy nature of the bottom, and to exposure to all southerly and westerly storms, considerable filling in of this cut occurred from time to time. The dredge Montague commenced opera- tions September 9 last, on a cut 200 feet in width, wdien. after removing 11.300 cubic yards, operations bad to be suspended October 10, owing to the amount of time lost from stormy weather; tin- work is to be completed in the early part of next summer when weather conditions an' generally more favourable. Length of i il made is 650 feet, width 55 at bottom and depth 10 feet at low water. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 105 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 PORT SELKIRK. Port Selkirk, Queens county, is situated on the 3outh side of the Orwell river a1 its entrance to Orwell bay, being distant from Charlottetown,, bj water, about 20 miles, communication being had twice weekly by a steam i>. and freight packet.

During the season of 1912-13, the eastern end of pier head was raised and strengthened, >|iai:s shortened, and top newly floor-stringered and covered. During the past season, t he same was effected to western end of pier- head; work being commenced Augusl 25 and completed December '1. The total expenditure being $700.89. robinson's island. Eobinson's Island, Queens county, is situated on the western end of Robinson's island, and on the eastern side of tin' entrance to Rustico harbour, being built in 1905-6-7 for the purpose, in conjunction with the similar work on the western side, of narrowing the channel, and thus, by increased current, so caused by ebb tides, by scour to improve the depth of water carried on the sand bar obstructing the entrance. The work has in all a length of 750 feet, the construction, etc., of which being as described in departmental report 1908-9. During the past season, the sum of $765.67 was expended in close-piling and general repair of the inner side of the beach pro- tection work, for n distance of 150 feet. The work, which was commenced August 2.~>. was completed October 20. Hoi K ^ POINT. Rocky Point, Queens county, is situated on the south side of the West river, near its confluence with the North and Hillsborough rivers. 'and immediately within the entrance to Charlottetown harbour. The wharf, used entirely at present for ferry purposes, serves the traffic between Charlottetown and the southwestern portion of Queens county. It is the property of the Local Government, but, being very old and not of very heavy construction, its exposed position has cause it to he much out of repair. As a substitute, the department proposed building a structure suit- able for both shipping and ferry purposes ah a better and more sheltered site a short distance above the present wharf, and where the deep water approaches nearer to the shore, entailing the upkeep of a far smaller quantity of dredging. Tenders were asked for a wharf 600 feet long, having an approach 325 feet by 22 feet wide; a pier head 160 feet long, and guide piers 115 feet long. Before acceptance of the tenders, however, objection was raised by the people of the vicinity to the site selected, and it was decided to change the location ; an Order in Council being passed 7th March, 1914, authorizing the acceptance of the tender of Mr. Harvey D. McEwan, at the unit prices quoted -in this tender, for the construction of a wharf at the present provincial ferry site, entailing an approximate expenditure of $31,749. Materials are now being arranged for with a view of making com- mencement soon after the departure of ice from the coast. RUSTiro. Rustico, Queens county is situated on the northern ooast of the island at the western side of the Rustico harbour, one of the island's most important fishing stations. For improvement of the harbour's approach, which is obstructed by a shift- ing sand bar, the department, during lSsl-2-3-4, constructed works on either side of the entrance for the purpose of confining the current at ebb tide, and thus, by scour, 1C6 DEPARTMENT OF PI BLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V..

The work was originally built by the Provincial Government many years before Confederation, and is one of the Prince Edward Island piers, the control of which was not assumed by the Dominion Government in 1884, when many others were taken over, and so remained under the care of the Local Government, who of late years has neglected its repair. By 1910-11, it had become entirely useless as a shipping place; in view of this and that the Local Government felt unable to effect its repair, an appro- priation of $5,000 was made by Parliament for repair and reconstruction. Tenders were called and a contract entered into. February .">. 1913, with the Annandalo Lumber < 'o., Ltd., for the bulk sum of $3,993. Work was commenced April 22, and carried on continuously until August 9, when it was satisfactorily completed.

SUMMEKSIDE. Summerside, Prince county, is on the southern side of the island, and next in importance to that of Charlottetown as a shipping place; the town of Summerside, with a population of about 3,500 inhabitants, is also next to Charlottetown as a busi- ness centre, and is one of the principal stations on the Prince Edward Island railway. For improvement of the harbour, both as to protection and approach, expenditures have at different times been made by the department, as described in departmental reports 1008-9-10-11. During the past season, plan and specification was prepared for the delivery and placing of from 2,000 to 2,500 cubic yards of large-sized stone, measuring from one- half to - yards, in the breakwater, and tenders called for. As the only tender received was considered high, it was not accepted. TIGNISH. Tignish, Prince county, is situated on the northeast coast of Prince Edward Island, about 8 miles south of North Cape, being situated at the mouth of the Tig- nish river, here entering the gulf of St. Lawrence. The works, for formation of a boat ha'boi.i at the place, commenced in 1868 by the Provincial Government, and since Confederation extended by the Federal Government, are now as described in departmental reports of 1908 to 1912-13. They consist of piers or breakwaters on cither side of the river's entrance, as also protection works over the long sand beaches on cither side. The work is exposed to heavy storms, necessitating more or less repair from year to year. During the present season, the channel face, outer portion, of the north breakwater was repiled, portions of floor-stringers and covering renewed, the waling, cross-heads and covering on a 600-foot length of the southern breakwater also being renewed as required. An opening in the inner portion, formerly of use for the fishermen, but no longer desirable, was closed, as also general repairs and renewals effected to brush protection of beaches. The work was commenced June 12 and completed November 29, and the total expenditure was $3,960.70, the entire works being new in excellent repair. Dredging. The dredge Pownal was employed 24th April to 12th September, during which time 20,500 cubic yards, scow measurement, of mud. sand, and brick clay were removed in clearing out portion of the channel between the breakwater and as far up the river as Jude's point, where a turning basin was formed, total length of cut being 1,900 feet, with average width of 40 feet, carrying a depth of 5 feet at low water spring tides.

Tracadie, Queens county, is situated on the north side- of the island about 12 miles east of Etustico harbour, and about 6 miles by road north of Redford station on line of the Prince Edward Island railway, and is from Charlottetown, the capital of the province, about 14 miles. Within the entrance, which has a width of about 900 fe< i. the harbour has a length of about 3 miles and a width of about 1 mile, over all of which a depth of 12 feet of water, or better, is carried at low water. The place is largely used as a fishing station and harbour of refuge; owing, however, to its entrance being obstructed, generally by a shifting sandbar, it is found often only available for small vessels and fishing- boats, and in fact only at times admitting of the latter, although outwaTd and inward of the bar there is a good depth of water. With a view, if possible, of improving this condition, a breakwater 1,000 feet long, costing $24,546, was constructed, under contract, on the eastern side of the harbour; the work being fully described in departmental report of 1012-1.3. During the past season, the sum of $1,692.09 was expended in making up the ballasting where settlement had occurred in the outer 400 feet of the breakwater, as also strengthening it- outer end with long piling. The work being commenced on 3rd July and completed on 23rd October. VERNON RIVER. Dredging. Port Vernon, Queens county, situated at the head of navigation of the Vernon river, about 2 miles -above its entrance into Orwell bay, and. though only a place of 200 inhabitant.-, is surrounded by a large, rich agricultural district, for which it is the shipping outlet, there being at the place a wharf on either side of the river, main- tained by the Dominion Government. Below these, the river channel was found ■what narrow and intricate, and for its improvement a contract was entered into June 25, 1013. with the Maritime Dredging and Construction Company of St. John, N.B., work being commenced with dredge Beacon Bar on July 10, and completed September -">" : a channel 100 feet wide, having a length of 4,300 feet, was cleaned up to a depth of in feet at low water spring tides. This involved the removal of 86,487-6 cubic yards, scow measurement, of mud. costing', at the contract price of 27A cents per yard, the sum of $23,784.09. WEST RIVER. West River (McEachern's), Queens county, is situated on the north side of the Wot river, which flows into Charlottetown harbour. It is distant from Charlotte- town by water about 7 miles, and by road 11 miles, surrounded by a rich agricultural district, having a population of some 250 persons interested in shipping. The old work, which had a length of 230 feet, was originally built by the Provincial Government many years ago, who latterly having neglected its repair, had, by 1912, become entirely useless as a shipping place. The department having assumed its control, reconstruction was commenced August 23, but was not carried on continu- ously, owing to the difficulty of securing suitable material in the summer months; wlu-n the work was suspended for the season on December 15, 190 feet of the approach 20 feet wide, consisting of close face 12 by 12-inch timber, was completed, also 60 feet of the grading to approach, at a total expenditure of $2,168.05. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF EXGINEER 109 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 WiiiiD ISLANDS. Wood Islands, Queens county, are situated aboul 30 miles southerly and easterly from Charlottetown, and 15 miles west of/Cape Bear, being the mosl southerly point of Prince Edward Island. For formation of a small harbour at the place, works were commenced by the Provincial Government and since continued by the Dominion Government, until now they consist of two breakwaters, the northeren breakwater extending from the mainland for a distance of 2,5:25 feet, anil the southern one extend- ing from the northern island a distance of 1,000 feet. During the present season, a contract was awarded to .Messrs. W. II. Townshend, A. L. Fraser, and A. F. McQuaid for the sum of $G,975, for the construction of an extension of 100 feet to the southern breakwater, the materials for which are being' arranged for: work to commence when- ever weather conditions will permit, probably about 1st June. NEW BRUNSWICK. Albert, Albert county, is situated on the Shepody, a tidal riv.er with a strong cur- rent, practically dry at low water, discharging into the Bay of Fundy. Albert is the terminus of the Salisbury and Harvey railway, and is distant 45 miles from Salisbury, the junction with the Intercolonial railway. On the 6th of January, 1913, a contract was let for the construction of a wharf and bed for vessels for the accommodation of steamer and schooner traffic. The work consists of a pier-head of square, close-faced cribwork, 100 feet long, 50 feet wide for a distance of 70 feet, and 40 feet wide for 30 feet, measured on top, placed on piles driven generally a distance of 4 feet apart, connected with the bank by a brush and gravel approach 234 feet long. In front of the wharf a round cribwork wall, 10 feet wide and 170 feet long, with two wing walls, each 35 feet long and 10 feet wide, has been built, and the spaces inclosed and filled with brush and mud up to the top of the wall, forming a bed for vessels 150 feet by 35 feet, measured inside the cribwork. The work was begun on the 27th of June, and completed on the 29th of November, 1913. For the protection of perishable freight, a shed 12 feet by 20 feet was built by day labour on the wharf, during the month of March, 1914. Expenditure, $16,203.47. Anderson's hollow. Anderson's Hollow, Albert county, is a cove of Salisbury bay on the northwest side of Chignecto channel in the Bay of Fundy. Spring tides rise 40A feet; neaps, 32A feet. A large quantity of timber and farm products are shipped from this place. The breakwater-wharf at Anderson's Hollow was begun by the department in 1879, and since then has been extended. The work consists of round cribwork, sheathed on the weather face, and is 602 feet long and 25 feet wide on top. There is a depth of 17 feet at high water at the outer end, which is dry at low water. During 1913-14. repairs to the approach to the wharf were made, by the construc- tion of a cribwork block 60 feet long, averaging 6 feet wide and 4 feet high, fillet with ballast and sheathed. Further repairs were made to the end of the approach, where damaged by storm. The roadway approaching the wharf, for 350 feet, was re- paired by filling the centre and ditching at the sides. The break was repaired by placing twelve new braces and some timbers. A few pieces of covering were also repaired. Expenditure, $430.19. 110 DEPARTMENT OF I'l BLH WORKS jv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 BASS RIVER. The Bass River district lies on the main Richibucto river aud between ii and a branch known as Bass river. For the accommodation of boats used in the gaspereau fishing, a small wharf was nstrueted during 1913-14 on the main river, about 13 miles abovi Rexton or 19 above the river mouth, at what is known as Bas- point, in the above district. Work was in progress between the 12th September and the 13th October", and the 22nd and 3ls1 October. The wharf is 114-7 feet long and consists of an approach 45 feet long by 16 feel wide, two spans of 14 feet, one block lii feet by 1G feet, and a pier-head 26 by :',l feet. The whole is built of round-timber cribwork tilled with ballast, with 10-inch by 10- iue'h stringers and caps, and 3-inch covering. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14, and the total expenditure t.i date, was $1,260.61. BATHURST. Dredging. Bathurst, the shire-town of Gloucester county, is situated mi the s.itith shore of Chaleur bay. Bathurst harbour is about %\ miles long by -1 miles wide, and is shallow and" largely dry at low water except in narrow winding channels. A wide shoal outside the entrance also seriously interferes with navigation. On the 7th July. 1913, a contract was entered into with the Northern Dredging & Construction Co.. for the removal of 400,000 cubic yards of sand. mud. etc,, to obtain 17 feet at low water, over part of the channel in the harbour, in a cut generally i'"" feet in width. The contract price was 25 cents per cubic yard, place measurement. 1'nder this contract, the dredge Wayward was at work between the 9th duly ami 22nd November, the dredge Gray Loggie between the the 23rd July and 29th October, the dredge Invader between the 2nd August and 27th November, the dredge King Edward between the 9th September and 21st November. A total of 209,380 cubie yards, place measurement, was removed, the total cost being $54,-691.26, including $1,219.49 for inspection and $1,126.77 for the purchase of gasoline beat, sounding raft, etc. The dredging for the season consisted of the following: An area 1,280 feet long was dredged by the Gray Loggie and King Edward on the Ripple bar immediately in- side the harbour entrance, the first 570 feet of which was 200 feet wide, increasing to 300 feet in the next 330 feet, the remaining 380 feet being 300 feet wide. Above the Ripple bar. and over the Ballast bar, an area 2.775 feet long was dredged by the Hayward, Invader, and Gray Loggie, of which 2,035 feet was 200 feet wide and 740 feet at tin' turn in the channel v?as from 200 to 320 feet wide. The depth reached was 17 feel at low water, except for the upper 1,000 feet, where it varied from 13.5 to 17 feet. The dredge St. Lawrenci also worked between the L6th and 23rd October en the Tetagouche bar, inside the harbour, removing 2,200 cubic yards, barge measurement. On the enter bar, the Government dredge Eestigouche or No. 3 was at work between the 5th May and 12th July and the 6th and 29th November, and the Govern- ment dredge St. Lawrenci or No. .' between the 14th July and 7th November. The total quantity removed by these dredges was 115,190 cubic yards, barge measure- ment. Under an agreement with the Northern Dredging and Construction Company. 17.ii7o cubic yards, barge measurement, were also removed by the dredges Invader. between the 26th July and 28th August; and the Gray Loggie between the 5th and 9th August. The eosl was $4,268.76. iv REPORT OF THE OHIEF ENGINEER 111 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 The work on the outer bar consisted of dredging a cut aboul 80 feet wide- for a total length of about 4,000 feet, the depth reached being L0-5 to 15 feel where there was previously a least depth of aboul 6 feel a1 low water ordinary spring tide Hay le hay. in Kings county, near Springfield. The dredge Beacon Bar of the Maritime Dredging and Construction Company worked here in November, 1912, removing L,850 cubic yards, scow measurement, of class " B " material. This dredging was for the purpose of making a channel and entrance to the mill wharf to a depth of 9 feet below water. When near completion of the work asked for, it was found desirable, in the interest of a large mill which was being erected, to extend the work, but owing to the close of navigation this was left in abeyance until the next season. Work was recommenced on May 23 by the dredge New Brunswick No. 1 of the New Brunswick Construction Company, and was completed on June 27, 1913, after the removal of 20,235-0 cubic yards, scow measurement (15,176 25 yards, place measurement) of class " B " material, at 30 cents per yard. Overcasting ^at face of wharf amounted to 3,000 yards at 20 cents. The material removed consisted of mud.

The population is about 700. In 1901, the department built a wharf, mi feel in total length, consisting of a stone approach 2 I feet long and 30 feel wide (.n top; two blocks, each 20 by 40 feet, and two intervening spans of 15 feet. The blocks are of open cribwork, planked on top and fendered on the sides. The road- way, approaching the wharf, is 500 feet long and 20 feet wide on top, composed of alternate layers of brush and clay. Sprint;- tides rise 41 feet. During 1913-14, the old top of the wharf was removed and the sunken portion, 39 feel in length, was raised an average height of 3 feet by building np with timber on top. The whole wharf was newly covered. A freight shed was constructed on the wharf, and repairs were made to the bed for vessels. During the month of February, timber was purchased for improving the right of way to the wharf. Work was begun June 26 and was completed November ii. 1913. Expenditure, $1,399.49. ISLAND RIVER. Dredging. Island River, Gloucester county, is a fishing and farming settlement on Chaleur bay on the northwestern shore of Shippigan island. On the 20th September, 1913, a contract was entered into with The W. J. Poupore Co. Ltd., for dredging a channel about 50 feet wide and 2,100 feet long to 4 feet at low water ordinary spring tides across a wide shoal which skirts the shore, to enable the fishing boats to take shelter inside the shoal and bring their catches ashore. The contract price is 40 cents per cubic yard, barge measurement, and the total amount of dredging called for was 17,000 cubic yards. Between the 13th and 27th September, the dredge Prince Louis was engaged on this work, but was actually dredging on three days only, the 22nd, 23rd, and 26th, when 327-0 cubic yards of sand were cast over. The expenditure, including $35.50 for inspection, was $122.80. KOUCHTBOI Gl U . Kouchibouguac harbour. Kent county, is entered by a narrow passage or gully between long sand beaches which separate the wide expanse of the harbour from the Northumberland strait. The entrance is about 12 miles north of Richibucto and 18 south of Miramichi bay. Of late years, new gullies have opened up which, by reducing the current in the main entrance, tend to lessen the depth of water at the latter. The work of closing tlii' new gullies and raising the low part- of the beach with breastworks to prevent further breaks began in 1908-9. During the fiscal year, 1913-14, the first dam was raised about 4 to ~> feet for 520 feet by placing brush and stone between the piles, and the new dam. which hail settled and was damaged, was raised by the addition of -ix brush mattresses 40 feet long by 20 feet wide by 6 feel high, and for 296 feet of its length at the north end, additional brush was placed in the space t! to 7 feet wide between the piles. A light breastwork, 300 feet long, of stakes and brush was built between the two dams, and south of the dams a heavier work, 1,312 feet in total length, was constructed of piles 14 feet long, of which 332 were driven, in two rows 6 feet apart, the piles being 8 feet apart in the row. Three tiers of poles were spiked longitudinally on the piles and the interior was tilled with brush loaded with stone. Work was in progress between the 24th. June and the 10th September. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14 was $3,499.52. 124 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 LEONARDVILLE. Leonardville is a fishing station on the eastern sid< of Deer island .(part of the nty of Charlotte), 3 miles from Lord's cove, and 2 miles from Chocolate cove.

In 1909-10, a wharf, 303 feet in total length, consisting of a trestle approach, 143 feet long, a pile approach, 120 feet long, and a cribwork pier-head. 60 feet by 40 feet, was built by the department. During 1913-14, 139 logs and 202 parts of old logs were removed from around the wharf and towed into deep water. A freight shed, 12 feet by 20 feet, and two gallows were built on the wharf, and the iron work of the slip was repaired. Materials for a floating slip, consisting of a scow and a bridge, were purchased, and the slip was about half built by the end of the fiscal year. Work was begun May •">. suspended August 6, 1913, and resumed during month of March, 1914. Expenditure. $942.91. l'etang. L'Etang, Charlotte county, i; situated at the mouth of L'Etang river, about 5 miles from St. George. The population of about 200 are dependent on fishing for a livelihood. The wharf originally belonged to the Provincial Government, but was repaired and extended by the department somi years ago. It is now 251i feet in total length, with a general width of 16 feet, and a pier-head 2S by 17 feet. At the head there is a depth of 21 feet at high water spring tides. During 1913-14, the damaged trestle work was replaced with two new blocks and three spans, and the pier-head was levelled up. Stringers and cap were placed on the wharf for a distance of 110 feet, and twelve fenders, averaging 20 feet in length, were placed on the eribwork blocks. The berth alongside the wharf was improved. Work was begun June 17, and was I September 18, 1913. Expenditure. $1,220.78. LITTLE BLACK RIVER. Dredging. The Little Black river, Northumberland county, flows into the main Black river about 2 miles above its mouth on the south side of Miramichi bay. and about 18 miles from Chatham. To straighten and improve the channel and thus save the expense and delays which occur in moving rafts and scows in the river, a contract was entered into on the 21st July, 1913, with Mr. F. A. Fowlie, for the removal of 31,700 cubic yards, barge measurement, of sand, mud, etc., for 35 cents per cubic yard. W..rk was in progress between the lsth July and the 27th November with the dredge Fowlie, when 21.929-65 cubic yards, barge measurement, were removed in making a cut 1,300 feet long, 35 to 45 feet wide, and with 2 feet at low water ordinary spring ti - the flats, to cut off a sharp bend in the channel immediately above the river mouth, and a second cut 800 feet long and 30 feet wide with 5 feet at low water across a second bend. From the latter cut to the highway bridge, a distance of 600 feet, the channel was deepened to 5 feel at low water for a width of 30 feet. The upper 100 feet of this channel was widened to 90 feet with a depth of 5 feet at low water for a turning basin for scows. The expenditure, including $364.38 for inspection, was $8,039.76. LITTLE DIPPER HARBOUR. Little Dipper Harbour, St. John county, is a fishing station 20 miles southwest of St. John and li mile distant, by water, from Chance harbour. iv REPOIil OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 125 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 On the 15th of December, L913, a contract was let to the Maritime Dredging and Construction Company for th< istruction of a cribwork breakwater 454 feet long and 24 feet wide, with an average depth of 8 feet. The proposed work is to close a gap between the mainland and Crow island, and afford protection to small wharves and fish-houses, as well as several boats. Work will not be begun until next fiscal year. A sum of $50 was granted to be paid to Mr. David Thompson for land required for a right of way. LITTLE GULLY. Little Gully, Kent county, so called, was an opening through the south beach into the southern end of Eichibucto harbour, about 3 miles from the main entrance, and was used as a convenient passage for fishing boats. Of late years, however, the water at the "Little Gully" has gradually shoaled, through the movement of the sand beach, until this year the gully was completely blocked. Between the 15th and 23rd April, 1913, cuts were made across the sand bars about 10 feet wide, 3 to 4 feet deep, and with a total length of 400 feet to give a temporary entrance for boats, but the current from the inside was not sufficient to maintain the cuts which were soon filled with sand. Surveys were made to determine the extent of dredging and works required to reopen the Little Gully. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14 was $221.50. LITTLE LAMEQUE. Little Lameque, Gloucester county, is a fishing settlement on Sbippigan island about 4 miles northerly by road from Lameque. The value of codfish and lobster fisheries is about $25,000 annually. On the 30th April, 1912, a contract was entered into with Mr. II. G. Beresford, of St. John, for the construction of a wharf. The contract price is $24,890. Work began on the 21st May, 1913, and by the 9th February, 1914. when the work closed down, the wharf to be complete required only the ring bolts, some addi- tional bolting in fenders,, covering, cap, etc., and other small details.

These shoals were the worst obstacles to navigation for the shipping of the Miramichi river which, in 1912, amounted to 498 vessels of 192,040 tons. At the Horse-shoe, dredging was in progress in 1910 and 1911, as well a- al different times in former years, to give a channel 200 to 250 feet wide across tli" shoal, which is about 4,500 feet long, witli a depth of 22 feet at low water ordinary spring tides. A number of shoal .spots were deepened by the dredge Restigouche during the past season, but the work was not fully completed. The ruling depth is about 20 feet at low water ordinary spring tides. At The Lump, dredging in 1910. 1911, and 1913. produced a depth of 22 feet throughout the shoal in a cut 300 feet wide. The length of this shoal is about 1 mile. The Restigouche or dredge No. 3 worked on The Lump between the 24th and 30th July, the 6th and 7th August, and on the 15th August, 1913, removing 19,698 cubic yards of fine sand, and on Horse-shoe between the 31st July and 5th August, the 8th and 14th August, and the 16th and 22nd August, 191:;. removing 2s. 144 cubic yards of sand and gravel. MISCOU. Miscou island, Gloucester county, about 9 miles long by 4A wide, form- the extreme northeastern corner of the province of New Brunswick. The population is about 500. The ehief occupation i- fishing, which is carried on extensively. 128 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 A public wharf was constructed in 1905 at Miscou harbour, the general landing place for the island. During 1911 and 1912, the wharf was extended to a total length of 1,770 feet. As the depth was still insufficient to enable vessels to reach the wharf at all times of tide, it was proposed to close-pile the two blocks comprising the pied-head, and afterwards to dredge suitable berths and approaches. Work was in progress between the 10th December. 1913, and the 30th January, 1911, and on the 6th and 11th March, when about one hundred and fifty 2S-foot piles were driven across the outer end of the wharf and along the sides of the outer two blocks and span, a total length of 200 feet. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14 was sf^OO.03. MISPEC. Mispec, St. John county, about 8 mile* east of St. John, is a narrow tidal inlet in the rocky coast of the Bay of Fundy, at the head of which a pulp-mill has been built. The department built two piers at Mispec for the protection of barges engaged in carrying supplies to and pulp from the mill. The east pier is 228 feet long. 34 feet wide on top and 30 feet high. The pier on the west side is 198 feet long and 20 feet wide on top. standing in 23 feet at high water. During 1913-14. the sloping face on the eastern breakwater was repaired for a length of 40 feet by replacing double face-timbers and covering with new sheathing. Eight fenders, removed by a storm, were also replaced. Work was begun May 19 and completed June 16. 1913. Expenditure, $649.:.:;. NEGUAC. Neguae, Northumberland county, lies at the northern end of the Miramichi bay. about 27 miles from Chatham. The public wharf, built by the department in 1892 to 1894, is the terminal point for trips of the daily river steamer, and freight is landed here for the districts of Neguac, Tabusintac, etc. Between the 21st June and the 20th August, 1913, a crib which was built nine tiers high, in 1912-13, for an enlargement of the pier-head, was placed in position, filled with ballast, built up to full height and connected with the old pier-head by a span 62 by 1> feet. The block is 62 by 20 feet on top, and is about 15| feet high. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14 was $1,238.30. NEWCASTLE. Newcastle, Northumberland county, the shire-town of the county, is situated on the north bank of the Miramichi river, about 17 miles above its mouth. During the fiscal year 1913-14, contract plans were prepared for a new wharf to give deep-water shipping facilities for the Intercolonial railway and for general ship- ments of lumber, etc. Dredging. The Park, Desmond, Ritchie, and Russell wharves, lie together in the centre of the town waterfront, and have a total length of 304 feet. During 1913, under agreement with the Northern Dredging & Construction Co., a berth. 325 feet long, 60 to 7."> feet wide, ami with 21 to 22 feet at low water ordinary spring tides was dredged along the face of the wharves, and inside this berth and closer to the Park wharf a strip 130 feet long and 30 feet wide was dredged to 17 ;•> 22 feet, to provide berths for lumber, coal and salt vessels, etc. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 129 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 The dredge llayward was at work between the 26th and 29th May, and the Invader on the 3rd and 4th June, and between the 12th June and 15th July, removing 9,734 cubie yards, place measurement, from within the lines and grades, or a total of 15,371-6 cubic yards measured in the scows. The expenditure, including $108.25 for inspection, was $3,028.25. NORTH HEAD. North Head is the principal port of the island of Grand Manan, a celebrated fishing station, forming part of the county of Charlotte, lying 24 miles south of St. Andrews, but double that distance from St. John. A wharf, known as Dixon's, at Flagg's cove, near North Head, was purchased by the department in 1906-7, and has since been repaired and extended. The present breakwater wharf consists of square cribwork, about 400 feet long, 25 feet wide on top, with a battered face on the weather side, and has 11 feet at low water at the outer end. Spring tides rise 23 feet. On the 28th of November, 1912, a contract was let for the construction of an extension to the present breakwater, 100 feet long on the centre line and 38 feet wide on top, of square cribwork, sheathed on the seaward face. The work was begun on the 17th of April and was completed on the 4th of December, 1913. Expenditure, $31,641.91. NORTHWEST MIRAMICHI RIVER. Dredging. The shoals are located on the upper 4 miles of the navigable section, and 11 to 15 miles above Newcastle. A large amount of lumber, lumbermen's supplies, etc., are rafted or scowed on the river, and a least depth of. 5 feet at low water is required for the towboats, as well as for the river steamer making daily trips to the head of navigation. On the 18th August, 1913, a contract was entered into with Mr. Peter England for dredging on this river to the extent of 19,900 cubic yards of sand, mill refuse, etc. The contract price is 37 cents per cubic yard, scow measurement. Under this contract, the dredge Peter England was at work from 19th August to the 1st November, 1913, in making a cut 100 feet wide and 770 feet long with 5 to 6 feet at low water ordinary spring tides across the lower shoal, Mullin's wharf bar, where the channel crosses the river, and a cut 70 to 100 feet wide and 1,320 feet long with 4-5 to 6 feet at low water at the second shoal, at Cassilis, but the dredging at this shoal was not completed in a small area where there are still depths of 4-5 to 5 feet. The quantity removed, at the lower shoal, was 4,016-9 cubic yards and, at Cassils. 8,976-9 cubic yards, barge measurement. The balance of the dredging is required at the two upper shoals. The cost of the work, including $180.50 for inspection, was $4,988.21. OROMOCTO SHOALS. Dredging. Oromocto shoals is situated in Sunbury county, about 12 miles below Fredericton on the river St. John. The dredging was for the purpose of cleaning up the channel to a depth of 12 feet below low water. The departmental dredge No. 12 began dredging on September 2, 1913, and after removing 32,810 cubic yards, scow measurement, suspended work on November 8, 1913. The material removed consisted of sand. 19— iv— 9 130 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 TERRY POINT. Dredging. Perry point is on the northern bank of the Kennebecasis river in Kings county. Dredging was commenced here on November 2, 1913, and suspended owing to close of navigation on the 25th after the removal of 19,758-6 cubic yards, scow measurement, of class " B " material at 19-i cents per yard, and an old pier contain- ing approximately 333 cubic yards, place measurement, which was paid for at the rate of $26.03 per hour. The material removed consisted of mud, clay, gravel and sawdust. Work was commenced here on May 23, and completed on June 4, 1913. The dredging was performed in order to provide a channel approximately 1,900 feet long, 75 feet wide and 9 feet deep. 14,615-4 cubic yards, scow measurement, of class "B" material were removed at 19} cents per yard. Work was performed by the dredge Beacon Bar of the Maritime Dredging and Construction Company. The total expenditure, including inspection, for the year ending March 31, 1914, amounted to $2,888.67. POINT DU CHENE. Point du Chene, Westmorland county, lies on the southeast side of Shediac harbour. It is a terminus of a branch of the Intercolonial railway and for the steamer Empress, running during the season of navigation, from Summerside, P.E.I. Between the 17th June and 22nd September, 1913, the pile retaining wall, built in 1912 behind the ballast wharf to prevent gravel, etc., being washed into the harbour, was filled with brush and stone, which was surfaced with gravel obtained by levelling off the interior of the ballast wharf. The retaining wall is 255 feet long, and the space behind it, which was graded to the level of the ballast wharf, was about 35 feet wide. The stone deposited in previous years along the outside of the inner breakwater, 600 feet long, was relaid to form an even slope. Fenders were placed around the small block outside the outer breakwater, and ereosoted piles were driven across the end of the breakwater. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14 was $980,15. POINT SAPIN. Point Sapin, Kent county, is a fishing and farming settlement of about 300 inhabitants on the Northumberland strait, about 8 miles south of the entrance to Miramichi bay. The district is dependent on water transport, being about 34 miles by road from the nearest railway. The value of the fisheries is about $20,000 to $30,0' '0 annually. In the spring of 1913, the timber forms around the concrete wave-break of the breakwater, built by contract in the previous year, were removed; $13 was expended for extra ballast placed outside the breakwater to fill a small hole in the bottom where the current was carrying sand, etc., under the work. PORTAGE RIVER. Portage river, Kent county, is a small stream entering the Northumberland strait about 5 miles south of Point Sapin and 6 miles north of Kouchibouguac. It is proposed to dam the present river entrance which is winding, shallow, and unstable, and to cut a direct entrance, protected with breakwaters and breastworks, through the sand beach, which will provide a safe and convenient harbour for the fishing boat and enable considerable quantities of lumber to be towed out. The annual value of the fish and lumber trade is about $23,000. iv l!H PORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 131 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 During the fiscal year 1913-14, a pile-driver was built and 221 piles driven for breastworks 320 feet long on the south and 344 feet long on the north side of the proposed new entrance; 150 braces were bolted to the main piles and the brace piles in the rear, two 6 by 6-inch waling were placed on each aide, and 3-inch sheet, piling was driven for a length of 226 feet; 1,900 lineal feet of fascine- were made for mattresses, 15 cubic yards of sand were removed from the inner end of tie' pro- posed entrance. A building 16 by 18 feet for lodging the men, and one 10 by 14 feet for a stable were erected. Work was in progress between the 1st and 18th August, the 2nd and 8th Sep- tember, the 15th September and 11th October, the 22nd and 24th October, and between the 28th October and 3rd December. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14 was $1,968.36. PUBLIC LANDING. Dredging. Public Landing is situated on the west side of the St. John river, about 12 miles above St. John. This dredging was required to give deeper water at the sides of the graded wharf. The dredge New Brunswick No. 1, of the New Brunswick Construction Com- pany, commenced work on October 24, and completed same October 28. A total of l,4S9-0 cubic yards, place measurement, of class " B " material were removed at 28 cents per yard. The material consisted of stone, sand and mud. The total expenditure, including inspection, for the fiscal year ending: March 31, 1914, amounted to $436.34. QUACO. Quaco, or St. Martins, St. John county, situated on the Bay of Fundy, 34 miles east of St. John, is the terminus of a branch railway, and the seat of several saw-mills. Five million feet of lumber are shipped from this place annually, which does not include shipments of the Pejepscot Paper Company. The population of the parish of St. Martins is about 2,000 people. At Quaco, inside low-water mark, a pier of close-face cribwork was built on either side of the outlet of a moderate stream, in order to give shelter to vessels at high water. The pier on the east side is 554 feet long' and 20 feet wide, with a depth of 23J feet at high water at the end. The west pier is 302 feet long and 20 feet wide on top. Spring tides rise 30 feet. On the 19th of May, 1913, a contract was let for the construction of a wharf, con- sisting of two cribwork walls, 230 feet and 195 feet long respectively, and 20 feet wide, forming a right angle. The space inclosed by these walls is to be filled with gravel and earth. Work was begun on the 21st of May, 1913, and by the 10th of December, when the work was suspended until the spring, the wharf had been been completed with the exception of a small portion of the cap, covering, filling, and close-piling. During 1913-14, approximately 1,900 cubic yards of ballast were placed in the western breakwater by day labour. Expenditure, $13,568.94. Dredging. A small shoal in front of the wharf under construction at St. Martins or Quaco, was removed and used as filling in the work. The work was done by the contractor for the wharf, at the rate of 70 cents per cubic yard, place measurement. One hundred and six (106) cubic yards, place measurement, of sand, gravel, clay, and hardpan were removed by means of scrapers, teams and ploughs, making satisfac- 19— iv— 9J 132 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 tory berths. The estimated quantity of 200 cubic yards, place measurement, was not reached, because, when excavation was commenced, it was found inadvisable to work to the grade originally proposed, as this would tend to draw the stream against the new wharf, and make scouring possible. The cost of the work was $74.20. QUACO WEST. Quaco West is included in the town of St. Martins 2 miles distant. St. Martins is situated 34 miles east of St. John, and is the terminus of a branch railway. A dam was built at West Quaco in 1892 to turn the outlet of Mosher river, which was wearing the bank and the farm land. The dam had never been repaired and had to be recon- structed. During 1913-14, a new dam of cribwork, 200 feet long, 12 feet wide on top, with an average height of 7 feet, was completed, sheathed and covered throughout. Brush and ballast have been piled along the toe of the work. Work was begun September 2, 1913, and completed March 12, 1914, but was not carried on during the winter. Expenditure, $2,333.33. reed's point. Dredging. Reed's point is located in Kings county, on the northern side of Kennebecasis bay, about 2 miles above Clifton and 2A miles below Murphy's wharf. This dredging was performed for the purpose of cleaning up the basin at the face of the wharf to a depth of 9 feet below low water. Dredging was authorized to be performed here in 1912, but owing to the lateness of the season it was not begun until the 14th May, 1913. Some 2,972-4 cubic yards, scow measurement, of class " B " material were removed, and the work completed on the 20th May. Work was performed by the dredge New Brunswick No. 1, of the New Brunswick Construction Company, at the rate of 30 cents per cubic yard, scow measure- ment. The material removed consisted of gravel and hardpan. The total expenditure, including inspection, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1914, amounted to $914.44. RESTIGOUCHE RIVER. Dredging. On 38 miles of the Restigouche river, immediately below the Campbellton deep- water wharves, several shoals occur on which frequent dredging is necessary to main- tain a sufficient channel for the large amount of deep water shipping which is loaded with lumber at Campbellton. Between the 23rd June and 6th July, 1913, dredging was done by the St. Lawrence or No. 2, and between the 29th August and the 1st November by the Bestigouche or No. S, on the upper section of this channel, the range of Campbellton lights. It covered a length of about 1,100 feet, reaching to within 2,000 feet of the wharves, and on a width of about 150 feet; the depth reached was 16 to 21-8 feet. The quantities removed were: by the St. Lawrence, 4,241 cubic yards, by the Eestigouche, 41,867 cubic yards, a total of 46,108 cubic yards. REXTON. Rexton, Kent county, lies on the Richibucto river, 3 miles above Riehibucto. Between the 18th August and the 1st October, 1913, and between the 25th Novem- ber, 1913, and the 31st January, 1914, work was in progress on the Rexton wharf in continuation of the work of rebuilding carried on in previous years. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENOINEBR 133 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 The lower and last section of the wharf, 59J feet long by 38 feet wide, was rebuilt, the old timbers being removed down to low-water level. New stringers were placed in a 30-foot section of the approach, and the covering was relaid and partly renewed. The outer face of the wharf, 250 feet long, was sheet-piled with 6-inch creosoted planks, 30 to 34 feet long, and the ends and inside face with 6 by 4-inch creosotcd planks. The upper 64 feci of the outer face, which had settled about 10 inches, was levelled. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14 was $2,056.31. RICHIBUOTO. Richibucto, the shire-town of Kent county, and the terminus of the Kent Northern railway, has a population of 612. The public wharf at Richibucto was acquired from the municipality in 190S-9. Between the 18th August and 19th September, and between the 24th September and 19th November, 1913, 308 piles were driven along the dock or upper face, begin- ning 112 feet from the outer corner at the end of the close piling previously driven. A cribwork retaining wall 58 feet long, 11 feet wide, and about 8 tiers high, i.e., level on top with the public wharf, was built across the inner end of the dock between the public wharf and the Forbes wharf. The cribwork was filled with ballast and the tops of fenders and cap were painted with carbolineum. The space behind the retain- ing wall was partly filled with old railway ties. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14 was $1,498.54. Dredging. The Richibucto public wharf lies near the centre of the town waterfront on the Richibucto river, about 3 miles above the mouth. The public dock, about 50 to 55 feet wide, on the southern side of the public wharf and between it and the Forbes wharf was formerly shallow, the bottom, except in the outer 50 feet, varying from 2 feet above to 2 feet below low water ordinary spring tides. Under an agreement with Mr. W. E. Forbes, the dredge St. Louis Star was at work between 13th May and 10th June, and the dredge St. Charles between 12th July and 8th September, in deepening the outer 100 feet to 9-5 to 10 feet; the next 200 feet to 7-3 to 8-5 feet; the next 100 feet to 5 to 6 feet at low water ordinary spring tides. The dock now provides convenient and sheltered berths for coal schooners, fishing boats, etc. The material removed was 4,785.09 cubic yards, place measurement, of mud, and the total cost, including $228.55 for inspection and $42.65 for removing logs, etc., was $2,424.49. The total quantity removed, measured in the scows, was 6,372-3 cubic yards. ENTRANCE. Dredging. The entrance to Richibucto harbour is on the Northumberland strait, about mid- way between Miramichi bay and Shediac. Dredging has been carried on here at different times to improve the channel across extensive bars and to give 15 feet at low water or 19 feet at high water ordinary spring tides to enable lumber vessels to take full loads inside the harbour. Under a contract with the W. J. Poupore Co., Ltd., dated 23rd August, 1911, dredging was continued between the 23rd June and 6th August, 1913, with the dredge King Edward, and between the 23rd July and 15th August, 1913, with the dredge Prince I to, when 33,910 cubic yards, barge measurement, of sand were removed. 134 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS h 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 The total work done under the contract consisted of dredging a channel 3,800 feet long, 100 to 200 feet wide and 13i to 16* feet deep at low water. The cost of the work, at 30 cents per cubic yard, barge measurement, the contract price, including $189.70 for inspection, was $10,362.73. RIOHIBUCTO BEACH. The Eichibucto river enters the Northumberland strait 3 miles below the town of Richibucto, about 26 miles south of Miramichi bay and 40 miles north of Shediac. Works intended to protect the beaches at each side of the entrance, and to increase, by scour, the depth over the bar outside were begun on the north beach in 1873. On the 11th December, 1911, a contract was entered into with Mr. Thos. P. Charleson for the construction of breastworks and a breakwater at the south beach. This work was completed between the 3rd June and 25th July, 1913, by placing about 614 cubic yards of core and slope stone over the outer section of the breakwater. It consists of breastworks 4 feet wide and 300 feet long, built along the shore and composed of pickets driven 6 feet centre to centre in two rows and filled with brush and stone; a breakwater 303 feet long and 12 feet wide on top of which the inner 251 feet is pilework, close-piles on both sides and filled with brush and stone, and the outer 52 feet is composed of a stone embankment with slopes of 2 to 1 laid on a brush mattress which was first secured by 45 piles driven in three rows. The contract price was $11,895, from which $1,283 was deducted in the final estimate on account of the shoaling of the bottom and consequent smaller amount of materials required to complete the work, than was shown on the contract plan. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14. was $5,365, including $153 for inspec- tion. On the 12th February, 1914, tenders were asked for the construction of proposed extensions of the breakwaters on the north and south beaches. RICHIBUCTO CAPE. Richibucto Cape, Kent county, lies 6 miles southeast of the entrance to Richibucto harbour, and 54, miles north of Chockfish river. The distance from Richibucto cape to Prince Edward Island is 14J miles. The inhabitants of Richibucto cape, Richi- bucto village, 2 miles inland, and the neighbourhood number about 1,000, engaged in farming and fishing. The construction of a breakwater at Richibucto cape was begun in 1908. During the fiscal year 1913-14, the outer 68 feet of the approach, built in 1909, was raised and levelled, six to twelve tiers of timber were laid on the next section, 170 feet long by 20 feet wide, begun in 1912, which was completed, and a block 55 by 30 feet, and twenty-seven tiers high, was built to connect the latter with the pier-head. About five to six tiers of timber were laid over the pier-head, and a wave-break about 330 feet long and four to six tiers high was constructed along the outer face. Stringers were laid on the pier-head and new sections of the approach, and the whole was covered, except on a length of 110 feet at the outer end; 150 lineal feet of cap timber were laid. A total of 1,865 cubic yards of ballast were quarried and hauled by day labour, and 753 cubic yards were purchased at the work and placed in the breakwater. Some 196,936 feet b.m. of square, 79,911 feet b.m. of round timber, 27,776 feet b.m. of 4-inch, and 5,595 feet b.m. of 2 and 3-inch plank were purchased. Work was in progress between the 16th April and 16th December, 1913, the 4th and 16th February, 1914, and the 5th and 30th March, 1914. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14 was $11,666.15. iv REPORT OF TEE cm El'' ENGINEER 135 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 river's .miu.s. Dredging. River's Mills is about 3 miles above St. John on the left bank of the St. John river in St. John county.

St. Andrews, Charlotte county, is a terminus of a branch of tin- Canadian Pacific railway, and lies, by water, 50 miles west of St. John. An extension of the public, or what is known as the market wharf, was built by the department a few years ago. The extension consisted of a pile approach 468 feet long and a pier-head of square crib- work, •'>. scow meas., class "A" at $6.90... 584 98 Total $19,715 10 Dredging — (Intercolonial Railway Wharf, West Berth). In 1913-14, the Department of Eailways and Canals requested this department to have some dredging done on the west side of the International long wharf, in order to improve the berth for the use of winter-port steamers having a draught of 30 feet. After calling for private tenders for this work, the offer of the Beaver Dredging Com- pany, for the removal of 12,000 cubic yards, scow measurement, class " B " material, at 40 cents per cubic yard, was accepted. A berth, 60 feet wide for 450 feet, and 50 feet wide for 100 feet, was dredged over. At the 30-foot grade, rock was encountered at 250 feet from the outer end of the berth. From this point to the head of the berth, a sloping grade was obtained, a depth of 10 feet below low water being reached at the head of the berth. A bar, 100 feet distant from the end of the wharf, was removed to a depth of 30 feet. The area dredged over was approximately 38,000 square feet. From the 25th of October to the 27th of November, 1913, the dredge Beaver removed 11,938-6 cubic yards, scow measurement, of mud. The cost of the work was $4,775.44. Dredging — (Main Channel). During 1913-14, departmental dredge Fielding continued work on the main entrance channel to a depth of 32 feet at low water. The channel is 6.000 feet long, with a minimum width of 600 feet. Soundings taken in October, 1913, showed ;i minimum depth of 24-5 feet of water in the east side of the channel, and 27 feet of water in the west side, at low water. The dredging, during 1913-14, consisted in removing a portion of a bar formed of silt and very fine sand, which had accumulated in the channel during the past year. Great difficulty was found in removing this material, owing to the fact that scows to retain the tine sand had to be made practically water tight. Owing to this difficulty, the use of the departmental scows had to be abandoned, and it became necessary for the dredge to dig material into its own hoppers, and carry the material to the dumping ground. From the 2nd of June, 1913, to the 21st February, 1914, the dredge removed 215,209 yards of mud. sand, and soft mud from an area of 1,250,000 square feet. Dredging — (Nelson and Wellington slips, and Navy Island Bar). On the 3rd of September, 1913, a contract was entered into with the Maritime Dredging and Construction Company, Limited, for the removal of 74,500 cubic yards, place measurement, class " B " material, at 34J cents per cubic yard, from Nelson and Wellington slips, and Navy Island bar, on the west side of St. John harbour. This dredging was undertaken at the request of the Commissioner of Harbour, etc., of the iv REPORT OF THE CBIEF ENGINEER 14? SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 city. Tin' object of the work was to improve Nelson and Wellington slips for the better accommodation of schooners, and the straightening of the ferry route across the harbour, and increasing harbour accommodation by removing the foot of Navy Island bar, to a depth of 14 feet below low water. During 1913-14, an area of 6G,0O0 square feet was dredged over in Nelson .slip, providing a sloping grade from 5 feet above low water at the entrance to the slip, to 10 feet above low water at the head of the slip. On Navy Island bar, an area of 110,000 square feet was dredged to a depth of 11 feet below low water. The dredging in Wellington slip was abandoned at the request of the city of St. John. From the 17th of December, 1913, to the 31st of March, 1914, the dredge Beacon Bar removed a total quantity of 50,113.6 cubic yards, barge measurement, or 41,289.0 cubic yards, place measurement, from Nelson slip and Navy island bar. Of the total quantity removed (41,280 cubic yards, place measurement), it was found that 1,193 cubic yards, place measurement, were removed below subgrade. The quantity paid for was 40,0S7 cubic yards, place measurement. The cost of the work was $13,830.02. Dredging — (Hilyard's wharf). On the 9th of April, 1913, an agreement was entered into with the New Bruns- wick Construction Company, Limited, for the removal of approximately 2,016 cubic yards, place measurement, class " B " material, at the rate of 48 cents per cubic yard, from beside Hilyard's wharf. The dredging was for the purpose of levelling up a berth in front of Hilyard's wharf to a depth of 6 feet below low water, and the removal of a small amount of deposit from beside the blocks, to low water level. From the 25th of April, 1913, the New Brunswick No. 1 removed 694-S cubic yards, scow measurement. A survey showed, however, that 806.2 cubic yards, place measurement, had been removed. Owing to the divergence of these quantities, the contractors were paid for only 508.5 cubic yards, place measurement, being the equivalent of the barge measurement quantity removed above subgrade. The material removed consisted of mud and stones. The cost of the work was $246.62. Thome's Slip. In 1913-14, the department was asked to have a berth, 45 feet wide and 60 feet long, dredged to 8 feet below low water, for the quarantine steamer, at Thome's slip. On the 15th of October, 1913, the offer of the Beaver Dredging Company, to remove 1,150 cubic yards, scow measurement, of class "B" material, at 44 cents per cubic yard, was accepted. On the 18th of October, 1913, dredge Beaver removed 936 cubic yards, scow measurement, of mud, which, at 44 cents per cubic yards, cost $411.84. The work was satisfactorily completed. ST. LOUIS. The St. Louis or Kouchibouguaeis river, Kent county, enters the gulf <•( St. Lawrence 7 miles north of Richibucto. The river is well settled on both banks, the inhabitants numbering about 2,000. Large quantities of mussel mud are dredged from the river and scowed to farms and, as shoaling bad occurred on the upper 2J miles of what was formerly the navig- able section, preventing the passage of scows and lessening the fishing in the river, dredging has been in progress during the past five seasons, and training walls have been constructed to confine the current to the new cut. During the fiscal year, 1913-14, this work was continued between the 13th and 31st July and between the 12th August and 9th September. 19— iv— 10* 148 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 A small dredge with a J yard clamshell bucket was hired, and a channel across a Shoal, about one-fourth of a mile below the end of last year's work, was dredged for a length of 900 feet, 26 feet wide and 2 feet deep, about 1,800 cubic yards of sand, etc., being removed. Three training walls, about 6 to 8 feet wide, were built of drift logs, etc., and tilled with brush and stone, behind which the dredged material was placed. The walls are 180 feet long and 6J feet high, 80 by 4 feet, and 325 by 3 feet. About 753 cubic yards of brush and 392 cubic yards of stone were used in the training walls. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14 was $1,008.27. ST. LOUIS OR LOWER ST. LOUIS RIVER. Dredging. Inside the entrance is a wide lagoon generally shallow except in the winding river channel. Dredging has been done, in the last two years, to obtain a cut 40 feet wide with 3 feet at low water ordinary spring tides across the flats to give a direct channel for boats from the entrance to the river proper. In 1912, the cut was dredged for 1,200 feet by contract, and in 1913 it was extended about 1,250 feet by day labour. Work was in progress between 11th September and 10th October, 1913, a small dredge, the St. Louis Star, being hired for $13 per day, including wages of engineer and cost of gasoline and oil, and a total of 3,820 cubic yards barge measurement were removed at a cost of $937.37. ST. MARYS. St. Marys, Kent county, is a well-settled farming district on the Buctouche river, 7 miles above Buctouche. The wharf, 125 feet long and IS to 37 feet wide, was built in 1884, and is approached from the highway bridge. When the latter was rebuilt and raised, a new approach was required, which was supplied by the construction of two blocks and spans in 1907. To enable teams to turn on to the wharf from the bridge from either direction, two pile blocks 15 by 12 feet were constructed during the fiscal year 1913-14, with a span between of 15 feet, enlarging the approach to about 44 by 31 feet. About one-half the stringers of tho old wharf were renewed, also the covering over an area of about 112 by 36 feet. During the fiscal year, roadway approaches were built on each side of the high- way bridge to form a winter passage for teams, the old passage under the bridge having been blocked by the work on the wharf. The approaches consist of stone embankments surfaced with earth and are 46 feet long by 32 feet wide and 1 to 8 feet high on the western and 40 feet long, 32 feet wide and 1 to 6 feet high on the eastern side. Work was in progress between the 15th and 24th July, the 28th July and 1st August, the 18th and 29th August, the 2nd and 12th September, and the 11th and 15th November. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14 was $1,106.97. ST. STEPHEN. St. Stephen, 82 miles west of St. John by rail, is situated on the St. Croix river, opposite the town of Calais, in Maine, U.S. Spring tides 23 feet. A contract was let on the 2Sth of July, 1913, to the Maritime Dredging and Construction Company, Limited, for the removal of 11,337 cubic yards, place iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 149 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 measurement, class " B " material, at 70 cents per cubic yard. The purpose of the dredging was to provide a berth at the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's wharf having- a depth of 20 feet below high water. The removal of an additional quantity of 2,088 cubic yards, place measurement, of class " B " material, was authorized. This dredging was requested by the town of St. Stephen for the improvemenl two berths at the public wharf, one at the front and one at the side. At the request of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, a portion of tL. work was abandoned, dredging not approaching the wharf nearer than 50 feet. The berths at the public wharf were satisfactorily completed. From the 24th of October to the 12th of December, 1913, the dredge Beacon Bar removed 17,964-3 cubic yards, scow measurement of class "B" material, and 118-54 cubic yards of boulders, class " A." A survey showed that 11,982-74 cubic yards, place measurement, were removed above subgrade, and 2,743 cubic yards were removed below subgrade; or a total quantity of 14,725-7 cubic yards, place measurement. The material removed consisted of mud, clay, rocks and boulders. The cost of the work was $9,614.03. SACKVILLB. Sackville, Westmorland county, is a thriving town of 1,380 inhabitants, is a station on the Intercolonial railway, and the junction with the New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island railway. It lies on_ the Tantramar river, and near the head of Cumberland bay. On the 6th April, 1911, a contract was entered into for the construction of a new wharf at Sackville, which was built between the 10th May, 1911, and the 10th Sep- tember, 1912. During the fiscal year 1913-14, the roadway to the new wharf, which was begun in 1912, was completed. The outer COO feet of the road was raised about 9 inches with brush and clay, and the whole road, 960 feet long, was surfaced with two carloads of ashes and 205 tons of gravel. A quantity of ashes, carried off the crest of the road by a winter freshet, was replaced and the ditches were cleaned out and partly widened. A sluice or box culvert 2^ by 3 by 24 feet long was built at a small stream which crosses the road. The road was fenced with 1224 rods of wire fencing 44 inches high of No. 9 wire, and 171 fence posts were used. Work was in progress between the 2nd August and 3rd September, the 15th and 30th September, and the 7th and 11th and 16th and 17th October. The expenditure for the fiscal year was $1,041.48. Repair and Extension of Old Public or Municipal Wharf. The old public wharf lies on the Tantramar river, about one-third of a mile above the new wharf. During the fiscal year 1913-14, the upper side was close-piled for a length of 55 feet and the outer face which was in a wrecked condition was partly removed, being stepped down for connection between a new crib and the old work. A founda- tion for the new crib was excavated outside the face of the old wharf and in front of the dock, between it and the N. B. and P. E. I. Railway wharf, and the crib, which is 115 feet long and 10 to 20 feet wide, was built to a height of 15 feet. Five hundred and forty-five cubic yards of ballast were purchased and placed in the crib, and 1,476 cubic yards of earth, shale rock, etc., were placed in the old dock behind the crib and to level up the old wharf. Work was in progress between the 24th and 30th June, the 1st and 14th August, and between the 3rd September and 13th October. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14 was $4,045.25. 150 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 SEAL COVE. Seal cove, Charlotte county, on the island of Grand Manan, is an exposed inlet al the head of which is an important fishing station. Seal cove is situated about 12 miles from North Head, and about 62 miles southwest of St. John, as the crow*flies. There are about 150 fishermen, possessing fifty boats from 9 to 18 tons each. The annual value of the catch is estimated at about $150,000. In 1909-10, the department built a breakwater, 448 feet long and from 24 to 37 feet wide, on the western side of the harbour, to give some shelter to the fishing boats. During September and November, 1913, the road to the western breakwater, 900 feet long and 25 feet wide, was cleared of brush, filled in with rocks, where swampy, and turnpiked. To further protect the harbour from heavy storms, and make a safe haven for fishing boats, a contract was let on the 25th of February. 1914, for the construction of a breakwater on the eastern side of the harbour, 515 feet long, to be 24 feet wide on top for 203 feet, and 30 feet wide on top for 312 feet, measured on the centre line. The work is to be of round cribwork, sheathed on the outside, and fendered on the inside. The contractor will not begin work until next fiscal year. Expenditure, $195.82. SHAMPERS. Dredging. Shampers is situated in Kings county, near the entrance to the Belle Isle. This dredging was for the purpose of improving the channel and basin at the Government wharf. The dredge New Brunsiviclc No. 1, of the New Brunswick Construction Com- pany, started work on September 2, 1913, and finished on September 5; 1,796 2 cubic yards, place measurement, of class " B " material were removed at the rate of 30 cents per yard. The material consisted of mud. The total expenditure, including inspection, for the fiscal year ending March 31. 1914, amounted to $550.92. SHEDIAC. Shediac, Westmorland .county, a town of 1,442 people, lies on the Northumber- land strait, 20 miles south of Buctouche and 2 miles southwest of Point du Chene. It is a centre for a large farming and fishing district, and is also a popular summer resort. The Shediac public wharf was built between the 19th October, 1910, and the 4th July, 1912. Small repairs and improvements were made on the wharf at different times between the 26th April and the 13th September, 1913. One of the outer spans was closed, in addition to two closed in 1912, to give better shelter inside, by placing stringers between the blocks and sheathing them on each side with creosoted timber. The roadway approach was ditched and levelled. Broken planks of the covering were renewed; ropes and blocks were obtained for the davitts; eight new ladders were placed, and the creosoted sheathing along the eastern side was bolted and repaired. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14 was $141.64. SHEDIAC ISLAND. Shediac island lies on the north eastern side of Shediac harbour. It is about 2 miles long and 1 mile in extreme width. On the 19th February, 1914, a contract was entered into with Mr. Warren Taylor for the construction of a wharf at the northwest point of the island, about 1-J mile iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 151 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 from the Grandique and 3i miles from the Shediac wharves on the mainland. The contract price is $6,432. Work began on the 12th March and, by the close of the fiscal year, the cribs of the pierhead and outer eight blocks were sunk in place and nearly completed, and the cribs for the next two blocks were built two tiers high. The wharf will be 700 feet long and consist of a shore block 90 feet long by 15 feet wide, fourteen blocks 15 by 20 feet, fifteen spans of 20 feet and a pierhead 30 by 30 feet. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14, and the total to date, has been $3,213.50. SHIPPIGAN GULLY. Shippigan gully, Gloucester county, a passage between Shippigan island and the mainland, much used by fishing and other vessels in passing from Chaleur bay to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, is situated 56 miles east of Bathurst, the shire-town of the county of Gloucester, and 3 miles from Shippegan, the terminus of the Caraquet railway. Works were begun, 1875, to improve the channel at the gully in which there was a least depth of only 3J feet at low water. The construction of dams and breakwaters, concentrating the current into one channel, increased the depth to nearly 6J feet in 1898, and to about 8 feet at low water, or 13-8 feet at high water spring tides in 1903-4. Between the 9th June and 30th September, 1913, the rebuilding of the western breakwater was in progress in continuation of the work of previous seasons. The work extended over about 65 feet of the- breakwater beginning on the north or inner side ''■!'■'< feet from the inner end. For a length of 34 feet, close-piles were driven outside last year's work beyond which main piles were driven outside the old face; two walings were bolted to these piles, and close piles were driven outside them for a length of 119 feet. Beyond this section, the same work was done on the outside of the breakwater for a length of 110 feet. The interior was partly filled with brush and stone and new cross-ties, stringers, and covering were placed for about 230 feet; 301 close and 70 main piles were driven. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14 was $2,991.22. Dredging. Inside the gully, the channel made two sharp bends at which the fishing boats were delayed and frequently went aground. In 1904 and 1905, the Geo. MacKenzie made a cut about 130 feet wide across the flats to do away with the inner bend, but this width was not sufficient to allow the boats to tack through. On the 23rd August, 1911, a contract was entered into with the W. J. Poupore Co., Ltd., for the dredging required to widen the cut to about 190 feet, and work was begun in 1912 when a length of 225 feet was widened 60 feet.

Shippigan, Gloucester county, is a village and settlement on the mainland at the northeast point of New Brunswick, opposite Shippigan island. A public wharf was constructed here in 1906 and 1907, at the terminus of the Caraquet railway. In June, 1913, the shed at the end of the wharf was moved 100 feet shorewards to give more room for teams, etc. Between the 2Sth October and the 29th November and between the 16th Decem- ber, 1913, aud the 24th January, 1914, the construction of a ferry landing and protect- ing pier was in progress at the east side of the wharf. When the work closed down, about 37 cubic yards of ballast, a section of the cap timbers, and some bolting were required to complete the structure, which consists of a ramp 25 feet long and 22 to 30 feet wide; a landing, level with the top of the wharf, 28 feet long and from zero to 24 feet wide, and a protecting block, 51 feet long, of which the outer 24 feet is 12 feet wide and the inner 27 feet narrows to 1 foot wide next the upper end of the ramp. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14 was $1,713.83. spinney's point. Spinney's point, Charlotte county, is on the west bank of the L'Etang river, about 6 miles from the mouth and 3 miles below the town of St. George. There are about fourteen families in the neighbourhood of Spinney's point, occupied in agri- culture, who ship about 300 cords of wood annually. There was an old Provincial Government wharf at this place, 35 i feet long and 30 feet wide, which became dilapidated. During 1913-14, the old wharf was removed, and a new wharf of open-faced crib- work, 53 feet by 40 feet, with an average depth of 11 feet, was built, ballasted, and covered. Work was begun August 12, 1913, and completed January 13, 1914. Expenditure, $1,939.41. STONEHAVEN. Stonehaven, Gloucester county, is situated on the south side of the Chaleur bay, 18 miles east of Bathurst. The breakwater, originally 425 feet long and built by private parties, was acquired by the department in 1878. During the fiscal year 1913-14, the old wooden covering near the inner end of the approach was removed on a length of 168 feet, and replaced with stone and gravel. In the next 204 feet, the old cross-ties were largely renewed and covered with new 6-inch plank. A new raised tramway, 382 feet long, was built along the outside of the approach of stringers and sleepers on which the rails were laid for conveying grind- stones to the berths. Four new mooring posts were placed and one repaired. The remaining covering of the approach was repaired. The covering was removed from the protection block at the northeast corner, the block was refilled with ballast, the covering replaced and a few sticks of sheathing, which had been carried away, were renewed. The flooring of the pier-head for 67 feet was renewed after refilling the interior with ballast, and thirty-five hardwood fenders were placed along the outer face, also six fenders on the end block. About 270 cubic yards of large stone blocks were placed on the slope along the outside of the pier-head. Work was in progress between the 9th June and 9th August, and between the 1st and 8th September. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14 was $1,966.69. Between the 1st September and the 3rd October, 1913, a small landing wharf for fishing boats was constructed at the foot of Chamberlain's road, so called, about one- iv REPORT OF THE CUIEF ENOINEER 153 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 half mile west of the Stonehaven breakwater. The wharf consists of an approach about 10 by 50 feet, three to ten tiers high, and a pier-head 20 by 25 feet, thirteen tiers high. About 30 cubic yards of ballast and the covering are still required on the approach, and about 160 lineal feet of cap timbers on the whole wharf. The expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14, and the total to date, has been $1,200.03. TABUSINTAC. Dming the fiscal year 1913-14, an appropriation of $500 was available for the enlargement of a small wharf built at the highway bridge across the Tabusintac river, 5 miles above the mouth of the latter, and 32 miles northeast of Chatham. A survey and a plan of the proposed enlargement were made during the year, but the wharf, which is a Provincial Government structure, was not transferred to this department. THOMAS' CKEEK Thomas' creek, St. John county, is situated about 8 miles from St. John, and is the home of about 25 fishermen. There is no departmental wharf at Thomas' creek, but there are two breakwater piers at Mispec, about 1 mile distant. A gravel bar, which was a protection for fishing boats at Thomas' creek, had been partly washed away by storms, leaving the cove, formerly used, exposed to the waves. The con- struction of a protection work was requested for the purpose of retaining the remainder of the bar and increasing the protected area. During 1913-14, 150 lineal feet of cribwork, 11 feet wide and 8 feet high, was built and ballasted, and a second wall, 66 feet long, 18 feet wide, and 11 feet high, was built and filled with ballast.

On the south shore of Grand lake, in Queens county, about 6 miles from the entrance. The dredge Tanta Wanta of the St. John River Dredging and Construction Co. commenced work at Whites Cove on the 14th August, and worked until the 16th August, removing 836-2 cubic yards, place measurement, of clay and rocks. The work here was not completed, as 1,107-4 cubic yards, place measurement, remain to be removed. This dredging was for the purpose of deepening the water in front of the low-water wharf to allow the steamer to dock. Wilson's beach. Wilson's Beach is a fishing settlement, situated in a small cove on the west side of Campobello island, part of the county of Charlotte. Spring tides rise 24 feet. At Wilson's Beach a breakwater, 373 feet in length, was built between 1874 and 1878, by joint contribution of the Federal and Local Governments. The work, having become dilapidated, was reconstructed by 1906-7, the new part being 230 feet in length. There is a depth of 13 feet at low water at the head. During September and October, 1913, temporary repairs were made to the cover- ing, in order to make the wharf safe for traffic. Expenditure, $S9.92. woodbury's cove. Woodbury's cove, Charlotte county, is situated at the head of L'Etang harbour, on the eastern side, and 3 miles from St. George, the nearest railway point. The population, about 300 people, are engaged in farming and lumbering. The old Provincial Government wharf at Woodbury's cove is in a very dilapidated condition, and not worth repairing. It is proposed to construct a new pile wharf, 91 feet long and 65 -'3 feet wide. During 1913-14, bolts and timber were purchased for the new work. The con- struction of the wharf will not be begun until next fiscal year. Expenditure, $1,364.62. young's cove. On the south side of Grand lake, in Queens county, about 14 miles from the entrance. After working at White's cove, the dredge proceeded to Young's cove on the 16th August, where it worked until August 27, removing 1,926-6 cubic yards, place measurement, of clay and rock, class " B " material. This dredging was required to give deeper water in front of the low-water wharf; 1,400 yards, place measurement, should be removed at this place to complete the work. PROVINCE OF QUEBEC. AMHERST. Two cribs of 45 and 50 feet base were added to the breakwater; the first crib of the training-pier south of new channel secured into position, and some minor repairs were made to the landing pier and freight shed. Expenditure, $6,512.05. 156 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS Dredging. 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 During the fiscal year 1913-14, dredge No. k worked in the channel leading into Amherst harbour. The object of the work was to allow the sinking into proper position of the first crib of a training pier so as to prevent the new channel from shifting. A good deal of cast-over work had to be done, amounting to some 5,100 cubic yards, so as to get the first crib of the training pier into position. The channel waa then partially opened. As there was some very urgent work needed at Grande Entree, the dredge No. 4 was removed to Grande Entree in the first part of August, to resume work at Amherst in the latter part of September. The total amount of material removed at the entrance of Amherst harbour was 22,500 cubic yards of sand and clay. There was. besides, some 3^,631 cubic yards of cast-over done to widen and extend the channel leading from the main deep water harbour into the inside fishing smacks harbour. The total cast-over reached thereby 43,731 cubic yards, and the material removed 65,700, forming a grand total of 114,731 cubic yards. ANGERS. Angers, in Labelle county, is situated on the C.P.Ry, North Shore line, 13 miles below Ottawa. Population of district, 1,800. Eighty lineal feet of the floor system in the approach was torn up and removed (April 15 to 17) in order to save the material, all the piles having been broken under it by the ice shove of 1913, which moved at a higher level, thicker, and stronger than usual. From October 1 to November 17, the part of the approach above mentioned was rebuilt, necessitating twenty new piles 30 feet long, a few pieces of plank for flooring and bracing. A new cribwork ice-breaker, 20 feet long, 16 feet wide by 17 feet 2 inches high, was built at the same time, half-way between the two already built. On January 2, work was resumed and was completed January 19. Eighty yards of stone were placed in the ice-breaker; 16 of stone and 21 cubic yards of gravel were used to restore some 87 lineal feet of the stone approach. The ice was cut clear of wharf, March 27-28. Expenditure to March 31 : Labour $741 54 Materials 730 22 Total $1,471 76 ANSE A BEAUFILS. Anse a Beaufils, in the municipality of Cape Cove, county of Gaspe, is situated on the gulf of St. Lawrence, 6 miles south of Perce. In the years 1898 to 1901, protection works, on each side of the channel leading to the inner basin, were built, consisting of two training piers, each about 440 feet long. The breakwater at the entrance of the harbour had to be sheathed on the outside face from bottom up and reballasted, and the inside harbour dredged out according to plan, and the banks protected by a breastwork protection for a total length of 600 feet. This breastwork is constructed so as to afford good landing facilities for freight and fish. Expenditure, $4,433.91. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 157 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 ANSE A GILES..

Eight (8) fenders were replaced. The flooring was repaired and 5,000 feet b.m. of spruce deals, 3 inches in thickness, were used. The first row of longitudinals were replaced on a length of 25 feet, with 8 inch square spruce 10 feet long, and two ladders were removed. The shed standing on the outer end of the wharf was painted, also the mooring posts and a few cap pieces. The works which were started on the 1st July, were completed on the 16th August, and the sum of $1,199.88 was expended. Dredging. Owing to sedimental and silt deposits on both sides of the wharf, the depth of water had decreased, and it was impossible for vessels to stay afloat along the wharf at low tides. At the request of navigators and business men, the department performed some dredging at Berthier during the fiscal year ended 31st March, 1914. The departmental dredge Progress started work on 28th of May and completed same by 22nd of June, to provide a depth of water at low tide of 10 feet, so that vessels and especially the steamer Champion would be able to call at the wharf at any stage of the tides and stay there at any time. Dredging was done over an area of 48,970 square feet, and the mean depth of cut was 6 feet. The quantity of material removed was 16,500 cubic yards, scow measure- ment, consisting of soft clay and silt. The survey would show a resulting quantity of about 17,000 cubic yards, allowing a factor of 30 per cent. Going towards the shore, the required depth of 10 feet at low tides was not obtained, as it was dangerous to excavate lower than the base of the wharf, and affect the stability of the structure. BERTHIERVILLE (EN HAUt). Berthierville (Berthier en haut), a thriving river port and incorporated town in Berthier county, on the shore of the St. Lawrence, and a station on the C.P.R. It contains two churches (Roman Catholic and English), twenty stores, three hotels, two saw-mills, branches of the Provincial and Hochelaga banks, one waterworks, one convent, one college, one grammar school, one ladies' seminary, telegraph and express offices, also Melcher's gin distillery. Population, 1,364. An Order in Council was passed on the 8th November, 1910, authorizing the pur- chase, from Mr. Hernias Roch, for the sum of $3,000, of a wharf property at Berthier- ville. On the 25th of March, 1912, the department had entered into a contract with 11 r. Eugene Patenaude for the construction of a wharf, on the site acquired, for the sum of $14,721.70. 19— iv— 11 162 DEPAHTUEXT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 The structure consists of: — ■ (a) A closefaced crib. ISO feet long, 16 feet wide, 10 feet high, sunk in 9 feet at low water level, placed alongside the bank; (6) A superstructure of monolithic concrete wall, 10 feet high by 4 at the base and 2 feet wide at top; (c) Stone filling of the substructure and to 2 feet below the top of the concrete wall, and earth filling between the crib and the bank; (d) A layer of 6 inches of broken stone from the concrete wall to the street ; (e) A concrete flooring 6 inches thick, 180 feet by 27 feet. The work was started on July 12, 1912, and has been progressing favourably until, in September last, it was found necessary to suspend the concrete flooring construction as the filling of the wharf had not sufficiently settled to receive concrete. In order to complete the contract this year, it was decided to build the floor of macadam instead of concrete. There were extra amounts of $1,100 and $250, allowed the contractor for the con- struction of an additional crib to join the Government wharf, at the downstream end, with the Eichelieu wharf built on C.P.R. property, and the construction of a macadam flooring. A total sum of $16,071.70 was awarded the contractor. This includes contract price and extras. BIC. Bic, on the south shore of the St. Lawrence river, in the county of Rimouski, is an important village and a favourite summer resort.

Bryant's wharf, Brome county, is situated on the west side of' Lake Memphra- magog, 5J miles by water and 8 miles by road from Magog, the nearest railroad station on the through line of the Canadian Pacific railway. Two steamers, making daily round trips between Magog and Newport, Vt, call there from the 15th of May to the 20th of September. During the time that the boats are running, the wharf is used by the population for a distance of 3 miles in any direction, as a means of transport for passengers and freight of all sorts up and down the lake. Since tha boats were enabled to call, by the reconstruction of the wharf by the Government, the population in the vicinity, during the summer, is increased by about 100 people, who spend an average of a month each at this place. On June 7, 1913, authority was received to expend the sum of $50, and on July 9, 1913, another authority was received to expend $400 in repairing the approach to the wharf and building an extension to the shelter. iv REPORT OT THE CHIEF ENGINEER 163 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 Work was commenced on August 5 and completed on September 27, 1913, and consisted in closing in the existing shelter, building an extension 14 by 12 feet, riprapping a part of the north side of the approach, and regrading the approach with gravel. In the execution of the above works, some 294 feet of lumber, 9,000 shingles, 943 feet of studding, 50 pounds ~f iron, and 80 loads of gravel were used.

Three toise of stone were placed about the approach, and the road was graded from the highway to the approach. A few planks were renewed in the flooring. This work was done by day labour. CRANE ISLAND (NORTH SHORE). Crane island or Isle aux Grues, in the county of Montmagny, is an island of some 800 inhabitants, lying in the St. Lawrence opposite Cape St. Ignace, 35 miles below Quebec. The community is chiefly engaged in farming; a great number of the inhabitants own schooners or other vessels. During the last fiscal year, ending March 31, 1914, owing to the advanced state of decay, important repairs were done to the wharf, which consisted of the following : On a surface of 120 feet in length by 30 feet in width, two rows of the super- structure were renewed, at the outer end. On a length of 200 by a width of 22 feet, the first row of the face timber was renewed together with the longitudinals and cross-ties. Stringers were renewed on the whole length of 300 feet, the dimensions were 10 feet by 12 inches. The flooring was renewed on a total surface of 350 feet by a mean width of 25 feet, with 3-inch spruce deals, thoroughly secured to the stringers. The stairways and the slip were nearly all renewed, and twelve mooring posts and four ring bolts were placed at convenient places. Some pieces of the sheathing being worn out, were also replaced. Cap pieces were replaced on about 600 lineal feet, dimension 10 by 12 inches. The work was done by day labour during the months of August, September, October, and November. The total expenditure was $2,499.98. CRANE ISLAND (SOUTH SHORE). The wharf on the south side of Crane island is used as a harbour by schooners in the spring, as a protection against ice. It is also of utility during summer, as a refuge against east gales and storms. Unfortunately, the depth of water available at low tides is not sufficient to allow vessels of considerable draught to use the wharf, and it will be desirable that it be extended so as to provide a greater depth of water at low tides, increasing thereby its efficiency as a harbour of refuge. There is a heavy lighthouse built on the outer end of the wharf, straining the structure which, on that account, must be kept in very good state of repair. 168 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 Works of importance were executed during the fiscal year, which consisted of the following : — On a surface of 2,520 square feet, at the outer end of the wharf, three rows of the face timbers on the east side and two rows of face timbers on the west side were renewed. On the inner end, on a surface of 360 square feet, five rows of face timbers on the east face and two rows on the west face were renewed, with spruce of 12- by 12-inch dimensions. The stringers on a length of 90 feet were renewed with spruce 10 by 12 inches in dimension. The flooring was repaired on a surface of 2,880 square feet. The cap pieces were replaced on a length of 155 lineal feet. The work was done by day labour, was com- menced on the 18th of July and was completed by the end of October.

During the whole of the winter of 1913, large and heavy blocks of cut and build- ing stone were shipped via dST.Q.R. from St. Marc des Carrieres to Les Ecureuils wharf, dumped thereon for cartage on the ice to Ste. Croix, on south shore, for the construction of a new church, presbytery, etc., the head-block of wharf had been over- loaded, the upper ties and floor stringers strained out of place, causing a depression in flooring, necessitating its removal, propping up, levelling, and bracing of ties and stringers. Although the deck timbers were not altogether unsound, it was deemed advisable to renew the whole flooring, using the best of the old material in overhauling outer end of the former block or 20-foot roadway which was in bad condition.

Georgeville, Stanstead county, is an incorporated school municipality on the east side of Lake Memphramagog, 11 miles by road from Magog, the nearest railway station. The permanent population is about 200, increasing to over 300 in summer owing to its popularity as a summer resort. There are five stores, one temperance hotel, two churches, post office, and telephone. It is connected in winter with Magog and Smith's Mills by stage; in summer, two steamers call twice daily running between Newport, Vt., and Magog, Que. Along the lake there are numerous cottages which bring, during summer, an influx of people for whom Georgeville is headquarters. ' The surrounding country is rich agriculturally and, for a distance of 5 miles in any direction, is tributary to Georgeville. When the steamers are running in summer, all freight and passengers for this territory is handled by them. At the last session of Parliament, the sum of $500 was voted for the reconstruc- tion in concrete of a part of the wharf. On June 10, 1913, authority was received to expend this sum by day labour. Work was commenced on May 23, and carried on intermittingly until October 30, 1913, and consisted in repairing the low landing stage which had been damaged by ice, in tearing down a part of the old wharf and building a concrete wall 6 feet high, having 4 feet at the base and 2 feet at the top, and is 63 feet long, and filling in the wharf with stone and gravel. In the execution of the above work, some four elm piles, 26 feet long, 175 feet b.m. of spruce, 300 bags of cement and 70 cubic yards of gravel were used. During the fiscal year 1913-14, the expenditure was $515.82. GLEN ALMOND. Glen Almond, a village in Labelle county, is located on the east shore of the Riviere du Lievre. During the spring freshet, the float landing was torn away from its moorings by the ice. Towing it back to place and securing it cost $15.75. GODEFROY RIVER. Godefroy river is a small river in Nicolet county, rising in the seigniory of Roquetaillade and flowing into the St. Lawrence through the parish of St. Gregoire, opposite Three Eivers. On June 11, 1906, a contract was entered into for the con- struction of a landing pier at the entrance of Godefroy river, the contract price being $4,200; it called for the construction of: — - (a) A pile head-block 33 feet wide formed of two portions, one measuring 60 feet 6 inches on the outside face, another measuring 36 feet 6 inches on the outside face, the two forming an angle of 125 degrees. (b) A stone approach 611 feet long, 16 feet wide, with slopes on both sides, side approach forming an angle of 25 degrees with the longer face of head-block; thej 174 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1916 whole structure standing 11 feet 3 inches above low-water level. Work was com- menced in July, 1906, and satisfactorily completed August 18 following. (c) In August, 1908, a sum of $650 was expended in building a store-house, 22 by 16 feet, on head-block and in raising stone approach from 1 to 2 feet for a length of 200 feet. During July and August, 1910, the sum of $1,162.30 was expended in the building of a 6-foot-above-zero gauge, pile and crib extension 30 by 10 feet for use at low-water level, stone filling behind up to stone approach from 20 to 42 feet distant. On April 28, 1913, authority was received to expend the sum of $400 in repairing the wharf which had been damaged by ice. Work was commenced on June 19, and completed on July 31, 1913, and consisted in tearing down the northeast corner of wharf, driving the piles which had been pulled out by the ice, rebuilding and sheathing, to the bottom of the river, the north- east and southeast faces of the wharf, and replacing a few planks of the flooring. In the execution of the above works, some 3,84S feet b.m. of lumber were used. During the fiscal year 1913-14, the expenditure was $405.67. GRAHAM. Graham, a post settlement in Vaudreuil county, and a station (Choisy) on the C.P.K., 37 miles northwest of Montreal. The Graham' public wharf, built in 1S99-1900, consists of:— 1. A pile head-block, 97 by 32 feet, standing 19 feet 9 inches high in 10 feet of water at low level; 2. A pile approach 48 by 24 feet; 3. A stone approach 230 feet long and 24 feet wide at top, hand railing and slopes of 1 in 1 on both sides; 4. A right of way 333 by 24 feet, leading to King's highway; 5. A freight shed, 25 by 24 feet, at downstream intersection of head-block and pile approach, and another 15 by 15 feet at southwest angle of wharf. Extensive repairs were effected, during the months of August, September, and October, 1913. Three piles were driven in the northwest corner; four piles were spliced with new heads, in the approach ; all floor joists were renewed, both in the approach and head-block, and a new 3-inch flooring was placed over the whole structure. This work was done by day labour. Expenditure, $1,615.67. GRAND ENTREE. The freight shed was repaired, shingled, and painted, and minor repairs were made to the landing pier. Expenditure, $311.6S. Dredging. Dredge Xo. 4 was removed to Grande Entree in the first part of August so as to remove part of a shoal which had formed between the Government wharf and the outlet of the harbour. Some 11,875 cubic yards, scow measurement, and 675 castover were removed. The dredge had to lay idle for over two weeks on account of break- age and lack of proper cables. The dredge was removed to Amherst harbour by the middle of September. GRANDE RIVIERE. Grande Riviere, county of Gaspe, is the name of an important fishing center, -'in'1 21 miles southwest of Perce. During the year 1910-11, steel concrete blocks to complete sheathing of ten thousand superficial feet were made but could not be secured in place, and had to be stored for winter on account of hoisting engine not being delivered in good time. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 175 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 Diver was employed with helper three weeks to remove obstructions and to fill worst places on outside 300 feet with some four hundred bags of cement. As mentioned in previous reports, the outside face timbers, eaten by sea worms, were carried away by the sea, together with most of the stone ballast in the outer section between the lower and upper ballast floors. Spruce sheet piling were placed alongside, but they have been carried away on account of the suction of the water that gathered behind in the sections without stone ballast. In the fall of 1911, the outside face pockets had been emptied of stone ballast, the top ballast floor removed, and the lower pockets well cleaned of stone and dirt. The sides of these pockets were lined with deals and heavy canvas to receive the concrete, three pockets on the outside end were filled with concrete up to average low-water level. In November, 1911, during the heavy fall gales, the upper structure of the Grande Eiviere pier was partly destroyed and, after having a thorough survey and examination made by a reliable diver, it was estimated that the repairs needed, besides the concrete works, would amount to some $10,000. Some temporary repairs at a cost of $684.42 had to be made at once. During the fiscal year 1912-13, a diver had to be employed to continue the work done in 1911, for a length of 30 feet and to remove the debris and stone ballast along inside face of work so as to sheet the inside with 10 and 12-inch spruce down to rock bottom and replace ballast to keep the top of the pier from being carried away. A length of 100 feet was sheathed as mentioned above. During the last fiscal year, some minor repairs were done to top of wharf and to freight shed, and three 10 by 10 pockets on the outside face of the wharf were filled with concrete. Expenditure, $2,957.43. GRENVILLE. Grenville is located on the north shore of the Ottawa river about 60 miles below Ottawa, and at the entrance of the Grenville canal. Small boats often have to lie in shelter at this point. Dredging. The departmental dredge Nipissing worked at Grenville on the Ottawa river October 1 to 9, making a launch basin on the east side of the public wharf. Two cuts were made 137 feet and 92 feet long by 25 feet and 23 feet wide, respectively, with an averaging cutting of 9 feet. Some 1,911 yards of clay and boulders (scow measure) were removed and spoiled in deep water, 1 mile distant. GRONDINES, Work done during last fiscal year at Grondines, Portneuf county, consisted in partial repairs to flooring of wharf, replacing a few damaged long upright fenders, sundry repairs to waiting-room with some painting, also repairing of about 800 feet of roadway approach to wharf, rounding off the middle on a width of 9 feet with a 6-inch layer of coarse gravel. At close of navigation, all that was liable to be injured by ice, spring freshets, or extra high water, such as movable fenders, mooring posts, freight shed on outer end of wharf for summer and fall accommodation, were removed and placed in safety ashore. A total of 12,200 feet b.m. of new spruce 3-inch deals and timber were used in repairs; the deals being placed and secured over old planking, to stiffen it, covering an area of 4,000 square feet. 176 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 GROSSE ISLE. Western Wharf (Healthy Division). Grosse Isle is situated in the River St. Lawrence, some 30 miles below Quebec, and 6 miles from the south shore. It is used by the Government of Canada as a quarantine station for vessels coming up the St. Lawrence. Two wharfs are available for the accommodation of the boats of the quarantine service, one at the western extremity, or healthy division ; the other at the eastern end, or the hospital wharf. As it is now, the communication between the island and steamers is made by means of a tender; this is all right as long as few people are to be landed, but when a greater number of passengers, some times two or three thousand at a time, are dis- embarked and embarked, it is a slow process, liable to cause delay and annoyance that would not exist if sufficient wharfage accommodations were provided. Therefore, it would be desirable that the western wharf, at least, be extended and enlarged so that steamers might draw alongside at any time and land in a minimum of time, thousands of emigrants and luggage, whenever required for disinfection. With this object in view, in April, 1911, a contract was entered into for the con- struction of an extension to the western wharf. Owing .to some unaccountable delays, the foundation crib was set in place only in September, 1912 ; previous to the laying of the crib, the bottom was dredged to a depth of 26 feet below low water spring tides, and on November 20 the work was closed for winter. In the month of May, 1913, work was resumed on the addition ; after having repaired some damages to the crib during the winter. Work was carried on during the summer, and completed by the 20th of November last. The addition consists in a close-faced, stone-filled cribwork 200 feet long, 60 feet wide top measurement, with a batter of 1 in 12 on the sides and outer end, sheathed with hardwood, 6 inches thick, all over its faces, the total height being 54 feet. The amount of contract was $59,777.60. As it is now, the wharf presents better facilities for landing, with a depth of water of 20 feet at low tides, but the outer end is not of a sufficient extent to allow steamers to stand by the wharf and transfer passengers and luggage directly on the wharf. The use of a tender is still to be resorted to until further accommodation is pro- vided. Eastern Wharf. The superstructure of the wharf was completely renewed on a length of 100 feet by a width of 20 feet and by a height of 9 feet. The stringers on the surface, men- tioned above, were also repaired, and the flooring on a surface of 100 by 20 feet, was renewed with 3 inch spruce deals. Some minor repairs were also made to the wharf. The work was done by day labour. The work was performed during the months of October and November, and the total expenditure was $1,178.15. Retaining Wall {Western end). In the spring and fall, the water of the St. Lawrence at high tides used to flood the flat low grounds of the western end of the island, preventing, for some time, access to the western wharf, to the great annoyance of people concerned. As the service had to suffer from these periodical floods, the authorities of the quarantine requested that some works be constructed to prevent the occurrence of such floodings, and at the last session of Parliament the sum of $4,000 was appropriated for the required works. iv REPORT OF TIIK CHIEF ENGINEER 177 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 During the months of August and September, a concrete wall 540 feet in length was built across the cove; the mean height of the wall being 8 feet, and its thickness at base and top respectively 24 and 18 inches. Five ornamental iron posts designed to carry three electric lights each were placed on top of the wall. A trench was excavated through the low lands, a length of 1,100 feet, and agricul- tural drain pipes 4 inches in diameter were laid, so that rain water could be carried to the St. Lawrence through a stop valve placed in the concrete wall. These works were performed by day labour. The total expenditure amounted to $3,973.60. GROSSE ROCHE. Anse a la Grosse Roche in the parish of Sacre-Coeur, Saguenay county, is situated on the north side of Saguenay river, 12 miles from its mouth. Population, 1,500. During last fiscal year, the sum of $1,507 was expended in the removal of the underwater structure of the head-block extension, which had been carried away by the ice, two years ago; the sum of $1,767.79 was also expended in purchasing1 materials, consisting of round timbers and stone. The work was done by day labour. HARRINGTON HARBOUR. The village of Harrington is built on a small island so situated that it makes one of the best harbours of the north shore. There are two churches, Anglican and Meth- odist, also an hospital for seamen. The population is composed of fishermen, about 60 families residing there during the winter. Harrington harbour is situated 110 miles below Natashquan. At the last session of Parliament, the sum of $4,000 was voted towards the com- pletion of the wharf at that place. During the last fiscal year, from that amount, $942.52 was expended to purchase materials. HIGH FALLS. High Falls, a village in Labelle county, is located on the east shore of the Riviere du Lievre, 24 miles above Buckingham. The float landing was torn away from its mooring by the moving ice in the spring. The shed was torn down and the float badly damaged. Repairs were made May 3 to 13 and 19 to 29, at an expenditure to March 31 of $116.88. HUDSON. I Dudson, a post village in Vaudreuil county, on the River Ottawa, and on the C.P.R. (short line), 9 miles from Vaudreuil, and 35 miles from Montreal. It is a landing for the Ottawa steamers, and contains one Methodist church, one Roman Catholic church, telegraph, express and telephone offices, one wool factory, one hotel, and two stores. A favourite summer resort for Montrealers. Population, 500. Dredging. From January 27 to February 19, 1914, a rock ledge situated some 400 feet up- stream of Government wharf, at Hudson, was blasted down to a depth of 8 feet below zero gauge. This was done by placing, upon the rock surface, clusters of dynamite sticks connected with an electric battery and exploded. 19— iv— 12 178 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 Some 75 cubic yards were thus shattered to pieces to be removed by a dredge next season. Total expenditure, $437.09. The object of this blasting- was to facilitate acces* to the departmental wharf. HULL. Hull, a city in Wright county, with a popnlation of 18,200, is located on the •Ottawa river, opposite Ottawa. Minor repairs were made to handrailing and shed on wharf. Road metal delivered in the fall of 1912 was spread and levelled on roadway approaches. Expenditure to March 31. $S3.2.". IBERVILLE. Iberville is an incorporated town in the county and district of the same name on the Richelieu river and on the Central Vermont. Canadian Pacific, and Quebec, Mont- real and Southern railways opposite the town of St. Johns. It contains two churches (Episcopal and Roman Catholic), nine stores, one iron foundry, four hotels, two pot- teries, one grist-mill, and two monumental works, two carriage shops, two bank agencies, and telegraph and express offices. Population over 2,000. During the summer of 1913, the department undertook three different dredging improvements within the limits of Iberville: — A. — Opposite the Menard property. The latter is situated immediately downstream or north of the C.V.R. bridge spanning the Richelieu river. From October 8 to October 10, departmental dredge No. 119 or Richelieu dredged an 8-foot channel, from 35 to 50 feet wide and 205 feet long, leading from river main channel to Mr. Menard's boat shed. All the material, some 1,105 cubic yards, scow measurement, of sand, clay, and stone was cast-over. Hours of actual dredging, 22 ; width of outs, up to 50 feet; face, 5 feet: distance advanced, 205 feet. The object of this dredging was to facilitate the hauling of motor-boats, etc., into winter quarters. B. — Opposite the E. Boy property. The latter is situated about one-quarter mile upstream, or south of the Central Vermont Railway bridge. On September 23, departmental dredge Vo. 110 started the deepening, to 8 feet below zero gauge, of a basin from 200 to 600 feet long and 400 feet wide. Work was suspended temporarily on October 7, resumed on the 10th and suspended for the winter on November 22. Some 14,818 cubic yards of clay, sand, and stone were removed and dumped 1A miles upstream. Hours of actual dredging. 374; width of cuts, 22 feet; face, from 1 to 5 J feet; distance advanced, 4,920 feet. The object of this dredging is to provide a near-shore landing place for the load- ing of barges, etc., of the Terra Cotta Manufactory proposed to be erected in this locality. 0. — Opposite the Thuot and Thuot wharf. This wharf is situated 650 feet upstream, or south of the Jones highway bridge, or some 1,600 feet downstream of the C.V.R. bridge. On November 24 and 25, departmental dredge No. 119 deepened, down to 7 feet below zero gauge, a basin adjoining the Thuot wharf. Some 303 cubic yards, scow iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 179 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 measurement, of clay, sand, and stone were removed and dumped 2£ miles upstream. Hours of actual dredging, 14; width of cuts, 22 feet; face, 1 foot; distance advanced. 275 feet. The object of this dredging was to provide easier access to wharf at low water level. ILE AU FOIN. He au Foin, Berthier county, is the most upstream of the group of islands in the River St. Lawrence, at the head of Lake St. Peter, between Sorel and Berthierville. It is 6,500 feet long and 1,200 feet wide. During the summer of 1913, four different departmental dredges worked at the downstream end of lie au Foin in the making of a 10-foot channel, over 1,600 feet long and 150 wide, connecting the River St. Lawrence main branch with its north branch leading to Berthierville. 1. Dredge No. 103, from May, 12 to August 15, removed 28,373 cubic yards, scow measurement, of sand and clay. Hours of actual dredging, 633J ; dumping grounds, one-half mile away; width of cuts, 20 to 30 feet; face, 1 to 6 feet; distance advanced, 6,907 feet. 2. Dredge No. 106, from May 19 to May 21, removed 264 cubic yards, scow measurement, of same material. Hours of actual dredging, 14 1 ; dumping grounds, one-quarter mile ; width of cuts, 40 feet ; face, 2 to 2 \ feet ; distance advanced, 38 feet. 3. Dredge No. 107 or Challenge, from June 4 to July 24, removed 15,259 cubic yards, scow measurement, of same material. Hours of actual dredging, 281 ; dumping grounds, one-quarter mile; width of cuts, 25 feet; face, 1J to 10 feet; distance advanced, 1,928 feet. 4. Dredge No. 119 or Richelieu, from July 16 to September 10, removed 17,401 cubic yards, scow measurement, of sand. Hours of actual dredging, 428 ; dumping grounds, one-half mile; width of cuts, 22 feet; face, 1 to 8J feet; distance advanced, 6,400 feet. The four dredges combined removed 61,297 cubic yards, scow measurement, during a total of 1,357 hours of actual dredging. Total distance advanced, 15,268 feet. The main object of this dredging is to reduce the ferry distance between Sorel and Berthierville. On account of a shoal extending 2 miles upstream from the head of He au Foin, this ferry line formerly was 10 miles long. The new channel has reduced this to 6 miles. ILE AUX CASTORS. lie aux Castors Berthier county, is one of the many islands in the River St. Lawrence, at the upstream end of Lake St. Peter, between Sorel and Berthierville. It is 3i miles long, and averages 3,000 feet wide. Chenal du Castor separates He aux Castors from He du Pads. On April 29, 1913, departmental dredge No. 121 or St. Louis resumed the dry- ing of a 6-foot channel begun the year preceding opposite the Remi Ilerard property half a mile upstream of the He du Pads parish church. Work was complete 1 May 30. Some 7,712 cubic yards, scow measurement, of sand were removed and dumped half a mile away. Hours of actual dredging, 242; width of cuts, 30 feet; depth of face, 2 to 6 feet; total distance advanced, 1,799 feet. The object of dredging was to remove a shoal preventing connection, by boat. between the northern and southern branches of Chenal du Castor. The completed channel is over 100 feet wide and 400 long. 19— iv— 12£ 180 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 CLE DC PADS. He du Pads, Berthier county, is the largest of the many islands of Lake St. Peter, River St. Lawrence, between Sorel and Berthierville. It is about 9 miles long and 1 mile wide. The department, during the summer of 1913, completed two different dredging ■vements at He du Pads: — A. — Opposite the Joseph Desy property. The latter is situated about half a mile upstream, or west of the parish church of lie du Pads. From September 5 to September 23, departmental dredge Xo. 103 removed 5,232 cubic yards, scow measurement, of clay and sand in the making of a 6-foot basin over 240 feet long and 45 wide. Total hours of actual dredging, 108; dumping grounds, half a mile distant (shore cut cast-over); width of cuts, 20 to 27 feet; depth of face, 2 to 9 feet; total distance advanced, 832 feet.

It is a beau- tiful spot near the Lachine rapids, much frequented in summer. Communication with Montreal twice a day by railway and four times a day by steamer. Population, 1,800. Work on the protection embankment was begun in October, 1910, on the shore road from Laprairie wharf down stream to River St. James, a distance of 3,800 feet, and thence following the shore to a point 4,200 feet east of River St. James approxi- mately 4J miles from St. Lambert. This protection dyke consists in the construction of an earth embankment, 8,000 feet long by 24 feet wide at the top, and an average height of 18 feet above low water. Both slopes are to be protected by a hand-laid cemented stone riprap, and the top is to be completed by a 24-inch macadamized roadway. The department has decided, this year, to give a contract for the balance of the work, estimated at $85,000. Before granting this contract, it was judged advisable to place galvanized corrugated culverts at different places to drain the land south of the embankment. Four of these culverts were placed in June last, and the road was harrowed by day labour. In September, three more culverts were built also of corrugated steel, on the property of Alexis Moquin at a total cost of $164.71. A contract was awarded, in January last, to Duranceau & Poupart, of Laprairie. for the completion of the protection dyke and a roadway thereon, on a unit price basis, amounting approximately to a total sum of $70,051.60.

The wharf, substantially built with close faced cribwork, has a length of 1,056 feet and a width of 30 feet, with a head-block 117 by 50 feet wide. The superstructure was in such a state of decay and so worn out that the ice and the waves would have destroyed it. Owing to the usefulness of the wharf, especially as a harbour of refuge for vessels of moderate draught plying along the coast, it was decided to renew the whole super- structure, and on the 11th of March, 1913, a contract was entered into for this purpose. The contract price was $1.80 per cubic yard on an approximate quantity of 13,000 cubic yards, viz., $23,400. The work was started on the 10th of May last, and was stopped on the 15th of October, owing to bad weather, to be continued early next spring. The work is now much advanced and is completed on a length of 827 feet by a width of 31 feet and a mean height of 12 feet. The slip at the west side of the wharf, being of no use, the department issued authority to have it filled up by the contractor at $1.80 a cubic yard. The dimensions of the slip being 260 feet in length, 10 feet in width, and the greatest height 19 feet, the cubical contents are 1,075 cubic yards.

The work was of a private nature and paid for by the Owens Lumber Co. Some 150 yards of siltings and sunken saw-logs (scow measure) were removed. MOXT LOUIS. Mont Louis, a village of considerable importance, and the first municipality below Ste. Anne des Monts, is 100 miles below Matane, the nearest railway station. The harbour of Mont Louis, the largest and best situated on the St. Lawrence, Gaspe coast, offers good water and protection against all except northerly winds. During the last fiscal year, some minor repairs were done to wharf, and the road- way along the beach was extended 150 feet. Expenditure, $1,130.24 iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER ' 189 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 MONTMAGNY. (Outer Wharf.) Montmagny, in the county of the same name, is on the south shore of the St. Lawrence river, 37 miles below Quebec. It is a thriving town of some 4,500 inhabitants. Important shipments of lumber are made by the Price Bros. Co.. and other firms, to European markets. Besides a pulp-mill, there are two foundries and iron works. The town is built on both sides of Riviere du Sud, which empties into tho St. Lawrence with a perpendicular fall of 20 feet. Below the fall, the river expands and forms what is called the Basin, affording shelter for vessels of moderate draught. At the northwest extremity of the basin stands one of the Government's wharves; it is chiefly used for service of small boats of Grosse Isle quarantine and other opposite islands. Owing to the scouring of the bottom by the current of the river during spring freshets, the outer end of the wharf settled through a height of over 3 feet. In order to stop the scouring and prevent further settlement, piles, 35 feet long, have been sunk along the outer and south faces of the wharf on a total length of 60 feet, the piles being 9 by 10 inches in dimensions, sunk 10 feet into the clay and screw bolted to the face timbers. The superstructure was removed on a length of about 150 feet, on 'a height of 13 feet at the outer end, and renewed with new materials. The stairways and slip were also repaired. Four mooring posts and two ladders were replaced. To accommodate the handling of freight, a hoisting crane of 4 tons capacity was placed upon the outer end of the wharf. These works were commenced in July and completed in October, 1913, and the expenditure for the fiscal year was $4,799.86. In order to provide more floor space to accommodate the traffic, it was found expedient to extend the head of the wharf, and on the 25th of September, 1913, a contract was entered into with J. R. Boulanger for the construction of an addition 50 by 50, by a height of 30 feet. At the close of the fiscal year, the work was not yet commenced. (Protection Wall, east side of basin.) It was found expedient to lengthen the retaining wall, which was built in 1912- 13, along the bank on the eastern side of the basin. This work was built to stop the disintegration of the bank of the basin, which was composed of clay of some 16 feet in height, forming shoals in the basin which interfere with navigation. The addition, built during the fiscal year 1913-14, is 740 feet in length, 12 feet in width at the base and 8 feet at the top, with a mean height of 8 feet. It is built of light open-faced cribwork, filled with stone and earth. The work was done by day labour during the months of July and August.

At Poupore, 12 miles above Buckingham, on the Lievre river, in the county of Labelle, the department completed, in 1892, a lock and dam. etc., to improve naviga- tion to High Falls. Plans and specifications were prepared for concrete retaining wall and cribwork training pier improvements at the locks, towards which Parliament appropriated * 12,500. The concrete retaining wall is to replace the original cribwork retaining backfill of lock wall below the dam for a distance of 150 plus 38 lineal feet. The new wall will rest on rock bottom and be generally of a height of 16J feet. The old cribwork is falling to pieces, owing to the advanced stage of decay, and will be easily removed. The cribwork training pier, 300 feet long. 10 feet wide, averaging 27 feet in height, has been designed to deflect the eddy and cross currents now eroding the hank and seriously interfering with boat navigation immediately below the lock. During the winter 1911, it was deemed more expeditious to start these improve- ments by day labour. Some 120 feet of training pier, 16 feet wide, was built to a height of 5 feet above L.W.L. (February 17 to March 31). In addition, considerable ballast, stone aud gravel was hauled to the locks, 75 per cent of lumber sheeting and 70 per cent of iron required were delivered.

Riviere du Moulin is a new municipality next below Chicoutimi; its population is about 1,000. During last fiscal year, the sum of $4,140 was expended towards the construction of a bank protection along the Saguenay river in the municipality of Riviere du Mou- lin, for a distance of 804 feet. It is of round timber construction, 8 feet in width, with an average height of 9 feet, well ballasted with stone, and backfilled with gravel. The work was carried out by day labour. RIVER LAGUERRE. Laguerre river is a sluggish stream emptying into Lake St. Francis, on the St. Lawrence, about one-half mile north of St. Anicet, Huntingdon county. At its mouth, it is navigable for vessels of 4-feet draught, and has a channel of 9 feet approximately throughout the inside flow. It has been decided to deepen and improve River Laguerre in order to drain and render fit for cultivation, about 20,000 acres of land. During the session of 1911. a stun of $15,000 was voted to commence work. On August 23, 1911, the construction, in reinforced concrete, of bridge and regu- lating gates at the mouth of River Laguerre was begun. The gates, six in number, cover each 0 feet wide and 15 feet high. Length of bridge proper, 42J feet; stone approaches, 48 and 29 feet long respectively, 20 feet wide at top, with sides riprapped 1 in 1. 202 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 The concrete bridge and regulating gates on River Laguerre, in connection with this drainage canal and improvements to the said river, were completed in 1912. The object of these regulating gates is to allow the flow of Eiver Laguerre into Lake St. Francis when the latter is at lower level than the former, and to prevent i^ake St. Francis from over-flowing into the river when the latter is at a lower level than the former. Work was suspended this year. A special authorization for the expenditure of $300 was allowed, to remove the cofferdams and improve the section at the mouth. Total expenditure $205. RIVER LA PIPE.

Riviere Nouvelle, in the parish of St. Jean FEvangeliste, county of Bonaven- ture. takes its rise in the county of Rimouski, and, passing through farming lands of great fertility, flows out into Chaleur bay at St. Omer. Riviere Nouvelle is an important river for lumbering; several companies have limits on the river and its tributaries. The river during the spring freshets is very rapid, and the floating of logs has done great damage to valuable properties and to the railway bridge. The road has been destroyed and changed in many places. In 1911-12, thirty-two directing piers were built to remedy this, and a space was left between each of them but the effect of the current was just as bad. During the fiscal year 1913-14, a line of brush-work, loaded with stone, was com- menced, ami 1,900 feet in length were partly built on a height of 6 feet. Amount expended, $816.58. RIVIERE OUELLE.

A branch of the Intercolonial railway, built from Riviere Ouelle station to the outer end of the wharf, connects with a steamer which crosses the St. Lawrence several times daily during the summer season, calling at Murray Bay and other places on the north shore. In winter, the service is also daily. Spring tides rise 20 feet: neaps, 12 feet. iv REPORT OF. THE CHIEF ENGINEER 203 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 The heavy trains coming on the wharf require a strong structure that must be kept iii a state of solidity. In order to ensure safety, the sheet piling, begun on the east side, was extended on a length of 100 feet, during the last fiscal year. Pitch pine piles 40 feet long 10 by 12 inches dimension were used, sunk 8 feet into the bottom and secured to the face timbers with iron bolts. The shore end of the wharf was sheathed on a length of 100 feet with spruce deals 3 inches thick, and 150 feet of flooring were renewed on a width of 12 feet. Short cross-ties were inserted and the whole was filled with stone with an earth and gravel finish. The stairway of the west side of the wharf was entirely renewed. The railing was replaced on a length of 300 feet, together with 200 feet of capping. The railing was also repaired on a length of 300 feet. The outer corners of the wharf were sheathed with hardwood 30 feet long, 8 by 14 inches, and four mooring posts were added where required. Painting and minor repairs were also performed. The works were performed between the 1st of June and the 13th of November. The total expenditure amounted to $3,698.51. RIVER ST. CHARLES. An area of approximately 185,000 square feet, opposite New Market place, was dredged to a depth of two feet at low water to reduce a sandbank that stood in the way of navigation; 51,780 yards (place measurement) of sand were removed by the dredge Stephen D, operated by La Cie. Etienne Dussault, between June 28 and November 26. Bate, 11 cents per cubic yard. Total expenditure. $5,695.80. RIVER ST. FRAXCIS. The river St. Francis rises in the counties of Compton, Beauce and Megantic. It collects the water of lakes St. Francis, Aylmer, Weedon, and several small lakes; it flows through the Eastern Townships for a distance of 173 miles, and empties into the St. Lawrence river at the head of Lake St. Peter. The drainage area of the St. Francis river is approximately 3,370 square miles. Dredging. The object of the dredging performed is to make the river navigable from the St. Lawrence to St. Frangois du Lac and Pierreville, where considerable traffic is handled. Dredging was commenced on June 3 and carried on intermittently until November 7, 1913, and consisted in the removal of 101,604 cubic yards, scow measurement, and 59,999 cubic yards, place measurement, of clay and sand. Of the 101,604 cubic yards, scow measurement, the departmental dredge St. Louis has done 13,370 cubic yards, leaving 88,000 cubic yards done by contract. The dredge employed on this work was No. 6, of Montreal. Expenditure during the fiscal year 1913-14 was $25,555.14. RIVER ST. LOUIS. Biver St. Louis rises between the villages of St. Barbe and St. Stanislas, some 8 miles south of Valleyfield and, running east through the parishes of Cartier, St. Louis de Gonzague, and St. Etienne, flows into Lake St. Louis at Beauharnois, some 20 miles from the starting point. 204 DEPARTMEXT OF PVBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 From May 3 to December 13, 1913) departmental dredge So. 101 continued the deepening of river-bed started in 190-4 and carried on every year since. Some 10,612 cubic yard<. scow measurement, of clay, and 2,306 cubic yards of solid rock were dredged or blasted, deposited on both shores, and levelled off. Hours of actual dredg- ing. 1.433: width of cut. 40 feet; face, 3 to 5 feet; distance advanced. 2.7.">G feet. This work necessitated the building of a temporary dam so as to float the dredge, the latter being 40 feet wide; it was also found imperative to remove the 38-foot span and one abutment of the Pont Rouge, and construct a temporary trestle bridge a little distance downstream. The object of this dredging is to minimize the disastrous floods of each year, during freshets and after heavy rains, by increasing the flowing section of the river and heightening its banks. To date, dredging is completed up to Pont Rouge, or 3 miles from starting point at Symon's bridge. RIVIERE ST. LOUIS. Riviere St. Louis takes its rise at the foot of the Laurentides. flows through the Parish of St. Paulin, and empties into the River Maskinonge near the Great Northern railway. During spring freshets and after heavy rains, the river overflows its banks, especially in the village of St. Paulin, and floods extensive farm lands. In order to minimize the disastrous effects of these floods, the department, in 1912, opened a channel, and work was resumed on the 13th May, 1913, and discon- tinued on the 16th August, from section 1,000 feet east of the road leading to St. Paulin church to 5,300 feet west of the said road, for a distance of 6,300 feet. The work was done by day labour, a channel was opened with a mean depth of 2 feet; 3,425 cubic yards of sand, gravel, boulders, and logs were removed. Total expenditure. $2,244.63. HIVER ST. MAURICE.

Paul, of Sorel, for the sum of $9,400. This wharf, when completed, will consist of: (a) A stone filled crib head-block of 96 by :'.-' feet by IT feet high, sunt in 7 feet at low water. ( '< ) A stone-tilled approach, with hand-laid riprap on each side, sloping 1 in 1, and 200 feet long by 18 feet wide at the top. At the end of the fiscal year, 90 per cent of the work was completed, for which a gross amount of $0,100 was allowed the contractor, and $8,190 was paid him. Owing to the difficulty in transportation, it was impossible to have all the stone required on the site before the winter mads went out. The completion of the approach, which needs 40 toises of stone in excess of the quantity on the site, will complete the work. It is estimated that the contractor may finish this wharf by the end of June next. Work suspended temporarily. Dredging.

From May 16 to June 20. departmental dredge No. 119 or Richelieu removed 8,895 cubic yards, scow measurement, of clay and boulders in the making of an 8-foot basin. 400 feet extreme length and 100 feet extreme width. Total hours of actual dredging, 226; dumping grounds, half mile away; width of cuts, 22 feet; face, 1* to 10 feet: total distance advanced, 1,430 feet. The 'object of this dredging is to facilitate the loading of hay and farm produce. Mr. Colette has given to the Crown -and to the public free right of way from King's highway to the dredging site. B. — Opposite the A. Marchessault property. The latter is situated immediately downstream or north of C. Colette's property. From June 23 to July 14, departmental dredge No. 119 removed some 6,243 cubic yards, scow measurement, of clay and boulders in the making of an 8-fooi basin, 400 feet extreme length and 80 feet extreme width. Hours of actual dredging, 129: dumping grounds, half-mile away: width of cuts, 22 feet; face, 2 to 8 feet. Total distance advanced, 1,090 feet. The object of dredging was also to facilitate the loading of farm produce. Mr. Marchessault has also granted perpetual free right of way. to public, from King's highway to the dredging site. ST. AXToIXt; STATION. St. Antoine station is on the Q. M. & S. railway, 4 miles east of Vercheres, and ,r> miles west of Contrecoeur. Tt is also called Pointe Dansereau. A site was chosen on the shore of cadastral No. 267, in the 1st concession of the parish of Contrecoeur, for the construction of a wharf consisting of: — 1.

Martine, capital of the county. Population of parish, 1,000. T;,e vork undertaken by the department consists in excavating Norton creek in order to increase the flow of water during the spring freshets, and thus drain approx- imately 18,000 acres of land known as Grand Marsh, practically flooded all year round. This excavation, which is in solid rock, will be approximately 4 feet deep, by 60 feet wide, and 3,450 feet in length. During the present season, 540 feet in length, 60 feet in width, and 3.5 feet in thickness have been removed, forming 4.725 cubic yards, which were placed on each shore. It may be estimated that one-third of the entire work is now completed, with approximately 20,000 cubic yards of rock still to 1" excavated. This work was performed by day labour. Total expenditure. $4,491.78. STE. CROIX. Work performed at Ste. Croix, county Lotbiniere, in the past fiscal year, to clear She site and surroundings of proposed wharf extension, consisted in removal of oouiders and large stones from same; the work spread over an area of 83,000 square feet of beach, extending from low-water line of spring tides running back, or south, to end of the wharf completed in 1912. Proposed extension running out 350 feet will have a roadway length of 300 feet with 20 feet width on top, usual batter of 1 in 10 feet; the additional 50 feet is a wing or "Li' running east at end of roadway; for both structures a stretch or strip 36 feet wide by 100 feet long was cleared from the end of the present wharf in a straight line out to low water of spring tides; also 10,000 square feet on site of "L" or outer end block for same and approach from east ami northeast; some small reefs at low- water edge were also levelled. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 211 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 On line with the proposed extension, site of head-block and east approach thereto, some 89 toises of huge boulders, more than half measuring from 5 to 10 cubic yards, were blasted, broken up with sledge hammers, removed, hauled away a distance of 300 to 500 feet; a certain quantity was also placed as riprap, along foundations of presenl structure, on east side where scouring occurred; the heaviest were placed some short distance east of the site of the extension to act as a breakwater fur the heavy sea whii'li strikes with terrific force at that point, during strong east and north-east gales. The approach on the east side was also worked over on an area of 59,000 square feet; there and elsewhere, 235 toises of stone and boulders of somewhat smaller di- mensions were broken but not removed ; they will likely be swept away by the ice in the spring; if not, they will be used as riprap to protect foundations of new structure. Cost of blasting, breaking up, removal, hauling, and replacing of S9 toises of broken boulders on east side of wharf and proposed extension, estimated at $8.75 per toise, $778.75. Breaking up of 235 toises left on ground at $5, $1,175. Total expenditure, $1,953.75. ST. CUTHBERT. St. Cuthbert, a post village in Berthier county, 2 miles from St. Cuthbert station on the C.

St. Eloi is a post village in the county of Temiscouata, on the south shore of the St. Lawrence river, 17 miles below Riviere du Loup. It has a population of 1,000, mostly farmers. To aid the sea-moss industry, which constitutes one of the chief resources of the community, a small landing pier was built in 1909. During the last fiscal year, the superstructure of the wharf was raised and levelled. At the outer end, a length of 130 feet was raised by adding three rows of face- timbers with cross-ties and stringers. The space within was filled with stone ballast and the top was covered with spruce deal flooring 3 inches thick. Towards the shore end, the superstructure was also raised 1 foot, and the surface finished with small stones and sand. Some spruce sheathing was placed on each side of the wharf. The road leading to the wharf, 300 feet in length, was raised by the addition of a layer of 2 feet of gravel. These works were done during the months of July. August, and September. ST. EMELIE. Sundry repairs to wharf, incidental with making it ready for opening of naviga- tion, were made in spring, followed by the building of a first-class substantial movable building for freight; dimension 16 by 18 feet, height in front 12 feet, with 10 feet in rear, flat slanting roof 18 by 20 feet, covered with galvanized corrugated iron, shed painted inside and outside. An old freight shed, on outer end of wharf, was repaired and made into a tem- porary waiting-room at inner end of wharf. The cost of the two buildings for materials and labour was $182.45. With a view of having the roadway cribwork built all through of cedar timber, 61,666 feet b.m. sawn and hewn square, was purchased at $22 per 1,000 delivered at Ste. Emelie wharf, or $1,356.65 for the whole lot. As some scouring occurred last year, along the present approach on beach, and in view of preventing its extension this present spring, some 12 toises of stone ballast were carted over the ice in March and placed as riprap along the beach at high-water line. ST. FELICIEN. St. Felicien, Chicoutimi county, is the most important farming parish of the Lake St. John district, situated on the west side of Lake St. John, 18 miles above Eoberval.

During last fiscal year, the sum of $1,485.65 has been expended in the continua- tion of a small channel at St. Fulgence, from the wharf to the low-water line. The work consists in a cut 30 feet in width, 300 feet in length, by an average depth of 3 feet. On the 300 feet performed, 125 feet had to be blasted, as the material to be dredged was too hard for the plant. Some dredging has also been done around the slip of the wharf. Some 1,560 cubic yards, scow measurement, have been dredged and scowed away, according to soundings taken after the work had been done. The work was performed by the Government steam derrick, to which an orange peel bucket had been adapted. The object of this work is to permit the small boat plying twice a day from St. Fulgence to Ohicoutimi, to get to the wharf at about half-tide. ST. GABRIEL DE BRANDON.

A. 1915 ST. MAJORIQUE. St. Majorique is a large municipality on the north side of the northeast arm of <. ispe harbour at the mouth of the Dartmouth river, the terminus of all traffic over the maritime road, of the population along the south shore of the St. Lawrence river and the north shore of the outside Craspe bay. Approaches and roadway to the outlet of the Dartmouth river were started from the St. Majorique side towards the main channel in September, 1911. Two hundred and ten feet of embankment, over fascines mattresses, were built to old river-bed. Two abutments of 20 feet by an average of 25 feet were built to receive wooden structure of 35-foot span, so as to allow continuation of embankment. and 300 feet of embankment was constructed on south side of the old channel, so B 10 reach a good foundation to resume work in the spring. During the fiscal year 1912-13, the north embankment was extended to a point 1,525 feet from north shore towards main channel of Dartmouth river. During the last fiscal year, the north embankment was extended 273 feet further and a portion of SO feet long was built from medium H.W.L. towards bridge, and piles were driven on either side of main channel, a total length of some °.50 feet. Expenditure, $6,751.20. ST. MARC. Between St. Antoine and St. Marc. The parishioners living on the west shore of the Richelieu river, about the villages of St. Antoine and St. Marc, had petitioned the Department of Public Works for financial aid in the construction of a wharf to be built on the river, and for which these parishioners have already spent a sum of $500. In answer to a report, dated October 8, 1912, in which it is shown that the freight, consisting of hay and other agricultural products, justifies an expenditure, authority was granted to expend the sum of $250 in 1912. During the month of October, this year, repairs were started on the damage- caused by the ice-shove of last spring. As the piles, in the front face, were too distant from one another, it was necessary to sheet the inside horizontally in order to hold the filling. The inside was stone filled and graded to the level of the public road. This work was done by day labour at an expenditure of $352.96. ST. MATHIAS. St. Mathias, a post settlement in Eouville county, 3 miles from Richelieu, a station on the Central Vermont railway. It contains a Roman Catholic church, one store and one saw-mill.

Trois Pistoles, in the county of Temiscouta, is an important village on the Intercolonial railway, 25 miles below River du Loup. The land in the vicinity is fertile ami the place is flourishing. It is somewhat frequented as a summer resort. Along the Eiver Trois Pistoles there are large saw and pulp mills. The work done at Trois Pistoles during the fiscal year ended the 31st of March, consisted in the following:— The approach to the south pier, which was built last year by taking advantage of a pile of stone, ou top of which was placed two rows of face timbers, stringers and flooring, was damaged to such an extent during the very severe storm in the fall of 1912, thai it became expedient to tear down the whole work. To ensure permanency, the approach was rebuilt with cribwork filled with stone. from the hard bottom to top. a mean height of 10 feet, the length being 183 feet and the width 1* feet. iv REPORT OF Till; CHIEF ENGINEER 227 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 As the roadway was narrow, railguards, %\ feel nigh, were placed on both ^ides. The south pier, commenced last year, was completed by adding about 100 toises of Mom-, ami placing the stringers, flooring and capping pieces; the length of the wharf is 200 feel and the width 22 feet. To provide more floor .-pace, an addition 50 by 40 by lti feet high was constructed. A building 24 by 14 feet was erected on the pier, having two partitions to provide freight shed and waiting room. Some- hand dr. -d^- ing was done on the northeast, sido of the wharf to remove sand. Rocks were blasted to improve the entrance to the harbour. Eight mooring posts were replaced on the old wharf, and the flooring renewed on a surface of 1,204 square feet. Those works were performed by day labour, between the 5th of May and the 1st of November. The total expenditure amounted to $9,992.53. Ice Breaker. The breakwater, built some years ago. across (ho entrance of the harbour, being much exposed to the pressure of ice and having only a width of 18 feet at the base, was in danger of being upset and destroyed. In order to counteract the action of the ice from the one side only, it was found expedient to extend the breakwater at both ends. During the fiscal year of 1913, the construction of two cribs 100 feet in length, and 20 feet wide at the base was begun. Owing to the want of appropriation, the work could not be completed. During the year ended 31st of March, 1!H4. the work was completed by the addition of a mean height of 4 feet, to these cribs, filling the whole with stone ballast to top of work and sheathing the outside faces with spruce, 5 inches thick, extending from top to bottom of the cribs. The old work was also raised and levelled on a height of 1' feet and a length of 300 feet. Heavy stone were also placed along the outer face of the new cribs to prevent scouring and washing out of the bottom. Scattered boulders, interfering with the free access to the harbour, were also blasted and removed. The work was performed by day labour, between the 23rd of -Tune and the 7th of October. The total expenditure amounted to $2-,500. VALm-CAEEBOl .

The work of deepening the channel of the Montreal river at Pork rapid-. 8 miles above Latchford. was begun November 3rd, and discontinued November 27th. The time, up to November 8, was occupied in repairing camps and placing plant on site. A bridge was then constructed from the shore to the island in the river where the work of cleaning' was done. This was completed November 11th. and actual excavation started on the 12th. Some surface boulders were removed and the rest of the work consisted of blowing out hardpan, gravel and clay with dynamite. As most of this work was under water, considerable difficulty was experienced in doing- it efficiently. Up to November 27th, the channel for a distance of 1?>" feel was cleaned to allow boats drawing up to 5 feet to navigate when water is backed by the Eatchford dam. Approximately 200 cubic yards of excavation were taken out. Expenditure to March 31 : — _ Labour $470 83 Supplies, etc 703 25 Total $1.2fi4 OS LEAMINGTON. Leamington, Essex county, is a prosperous town situated on the north shore of Lake Erie, in the county of Essex, about 37 miles from the city of Windsor, on the lines of the Pere Marquette and Michigan Central railways. Population, about 2,500. Tt is the centre of a rich fruit and vegetable raising district. A number of oil wells are being worked in the vicinity of Leamington. It is a port of entry and al>o a port of call for a steamboat line running between Windsor and Pelee island. Deep draught tugs also carry considerable freight from this point to Pelee island and other adjoining places. Maximum draught of vessels utilizing pier at this point is about. 11 feet. The principal manufactories are: Basket factory, planing mill, pickle factory, tobacco factory, cement works and canning factory. During the season 1912, 127 vessels arrived at this port with tonnage of 6,599 tons, and the custom duties collected during the fiscal year 1912-13, amounted to $41,638.30. At the last session of Parliament, the sum of $1,400 was voted for repairs to piers and on the 10th of June last, authority was received to proceed with the work. Work done consisted of the reconstruction of five pile bents at inner end of pier together with decking on -nine: renewal of planking and partial renewal of stringer- tor a length of one hundred feet; one hundred feet of guard rail renewed as also minor repairs were made to decking. (n the execution of the above work, approximately 17.14s feet, b.m., of timber, 556 pounds of iron and 711 lineal feet of piling were used.

Liou's Head, county of Bruce, is a village of some 600 inhabitants, situated on the west shore of the Georgian bay, 22 miles north of Wiarton. There is a very large saw-mill in operation at this place and the output is large. It is also a har- bour of refuge. Authority was given to expend the sum of $3,600 in wharf improvements by day labour. and work was commenced 1st August and completed the 16th January. The work done consisted in the construction of a wharf of close sheet-piling, 7v feet in length, also a length of 40 feet of piling, the latter to fill in the panel? of main piles previously driven. Total expenditure for fiscal year 1913-14. $3,600. LITTLE CURRENT. Little Current is a town of about 1,500 people, situated on the Manitoulin island on a narrow channel -of the same name, connecting Georgian bay and the north channel of Lake Huron. It has two saw-mills which cut between 40 and 50 million feet of lumber annually. Agriculture is prospering in the adjoining town- ships. It is the most important town on the island and is the port for practically the whole district. The shipping is all water-borne and consists, exclusive of lum- ber, of some 10,000 tons per annum of coal, merchandise, farm produce, live stock, fish, etc. Authority was given on 10th of .Time. 1913, to expend the sum of $2,000, by day labour, for the construction of a public wharf. On account of the intention of the residents of this place to obtain a general scheme of water-front development, work has been deferred. In the meantime, a complete survey of the property involved is being made. There has been no expenditure. Dredging. The object of the work is to provide approaches to the wharves of the A. E. Ry., for deep draught vessels and to widen the existing channel. When the whole improve- ments proposed to this channel are completed, it is expected that practicaUy all boats including the large freighters plying between Lake Superior and Georgian bay povT- will adopt this route which will be practically the same length, but much more pro- tected than the open Lake Huron route, and it will constitute a necessary link in the proposed Georgian Bay canal route. On August 21, 1913, an Order in Council was passed authorizing the acceptance of the tender of the Soo Dredging and Construction Company, Ltd., of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., for the dredging of 23,500 cubic yard- of rock, place measurement, at the rate of $2.90 per cubic yard. Work was commenced on September 1, 1913. and was closed down on. 15th of December, for the season. The area under contract to be dredged consisted of a section lying in front of the A. E. By. Co's coal wharf. 400 feet long, with an average width of 150 feet, to be dredged to a depth of 22 feet, below standard low water level. During this period, 19,837 cubic yards were removed; of this amount 17,883§ yards were castover the A. E. Ry. Co.'s wharves into the filling behind. The total expenditure was $58,613.82. LITTLE GRASSY RIVER. The Little Grassy river, district of Thunder Bay and Rainy River, empties into the south end of the Lake of the Woods. There are scattered settlements with a popula- tion of three or four hundred people within two miles of the river. This region is iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 26fe SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 good farming: country and sonic lumbering is carried on. A good road to the towi Sleemans on the Canadian Northern railway, some 17 miles distant, is the present means of communication. As a result of the petition from the inhabitants of the Rainy River district, asking that certain dredging be done to enable vessels to enter the Little Grassy river from the Lake of the Woods, an examination was made, the necessary soundings, borings, etc., taken, and a report submitted on March 6, 1911. The proposed work consists of dredging a channel 3,000 feet long, 100 feet wide and 11 feet deep, through a sand bar at the mouth of the river. This would make good navigation for vessels drawing up to the 9 feet, which includes practically everything on these waters. The estimated yardage is 69,000 and the cost $34,000. LONG LAKE AND DRIFTWOOD CREEK. This part of the south branch of the Blanche river in Nipissing district is located above Charlton. It is the only route of transportation available for an increa^ number of settlers. Work of procuring plant and placing on site of work was begun on July 1. During July, the section from Charlton wharf to the foot of Long lake and through the narrows was cleared. Some 1,000 stumps were pulled and all brush and snags were removed to high water mark. Two boxes of dynamite were used. The total expenditure for supplies and labour amounted to $1,609.88. The camp and plant were moved up the river to Driftwood creek on August 1. In this section, some 200 stumps were pulled out, two large jams of driftwood aggre- gating 800 feet in length by about 50 feet wide, were removed and piled on shore, a large number of boulders were taken from channel, one sand bar about 50 feet long was removed and all brush and dead trees were cleared away. This work was carried on to about a mile and a half above the falls. The falls, located about 1J miles from the outlet, drop some 18 feet in rapids along a distance of about 200 feet. Pointers and other small craft are portaged around, a distance of 500 feet, and settlers are said to have used the improved creek during the past season. The average depth of water in this section is now about 4 feet. Five boxes of dynamite were used. The total expenditure for supplies and labour amount to $1,614.12. On September 11, the plant was moved down the river again to within five mile* of Charlton, in order that the section from Long lake to Charlton wharf might be put in better condition. This portion of the channel was more thoroughly cleaned than was at first attempted, and large quantities of driftwood and brush were taken out. Work was discontinued shortly after the first of October and the plant stored. The total expenditure on this last portion of the work amounted to $700.65.

The Magnet channel, district of Thunder Bay and Rainy Kiver, is an inside pro- tected channel on the north shore of Lake Superior, some 40 miles east of Port Arthur. Early in October, 1913, an investigation was made and a report and estimate submitted on proposed improvements to this channel. The work would comprise the removal of 4,500 cubic yards of boulders and would cost approximative^ $12,000 to $15,000. MANITOU RAPIDS. The Manitou Rapids, district of Thunder Bay and Rainy River, are on the Rainy river some 50 miles from the mouth. A pier in the river, vised to warp vessels up the rapids, having been damaged by fire, an investigation was made late in October, 1913, as to cost of repairs. This estimated cost was $200, and authority was given to proceed with the work. On account of ice conditions, it was impossible to do anything in the winter of 1913-14 and, a second investigation having been made, renewed authority was asked to proceed with this work at an expenditure of $400. M ahtin's island. Martin's island. Kent county, is situated in Lake St. Clair, at the mouth of the < lienal Eearte river. At the last session of Parliament, the sum of one thousand ($1,000) dollars was led for bank protection work at this point, and on the 10th June authority was received to expend the grant. An arrangement was made with Mr. II. E. Doyle, of Chatham, for the supplying of all material and performance of the work at the rate of $6 per running foot of shei piling completed.

A resolution was sub- mitted by the Board of Trade of Kenora asking for improvements at these rapids a- navigation was difficult. A report was submitted October 23, 1913, in which the removal of some 500 cubic yards of boulders at an approximate cost of $2,000 was recommended. MONETVILLE. Monetville is a small village at the west end of Lake Nipissing. A rapidly devel- oping farming country surrounds it. Parliament, at its last session, provided $f,500 for the construction of a pile wharf 4* by 72 feet with freight shed 30 by 48 feet and earth approach, to extend to contour 646, average width, 16 feet. During the summer, while work was being carried on at the rock cuts, the mate- rial for the wharf was secured. On September 19th, work was commenced with a gang of six men. The pile- were driven, cut off and braced, and the 10 by 10 by 16-foot long pile-caps and stringers placed. Work was discontinued on October 16. The total outlay is $1,497.95, divided as follows:— Pay lists $ 363 13 Arterial 1.124 82 Disbursements 10 00 ( 'hannel. Monetville rock cuts are situated 4 and 3 miles, respectively, from the village of Monetville. The work is being executed in order that navigation may be carried on between Lake Nipissing points and Monetville and avoid the 4-mile haul. Operations were commenced on July 7, with a hoist-runner, carpenter and six labourers. The work was carried on until September 18, when it was closed down, the appropriation having been expended. The work accomplished during this period consisted of placing 2-ply glace booms and anchor piers in cut 2 and cleaning up 225 feet of cut 1, to grade 635-5 in middle half. It was expected that the remaining 40 feet of the cut could be cleaned up. but the frost during the previous winter, disintegrated the south side for a distance 270 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 boul 30 feet, to such an extent that it slid into the cut when blasting started.

Flat Rapids, in Nipissing district, is located on the Montreal river. 38 mile- .,! Latchford and 15 miles below Elk Lake. The work of deepening the channel of the Montreal river at Flat rapids was begun September 10 and discontinued October 31. Up to September 19, work of repairing camps and transporting plant to sit' improvements was carried on. From this date till October 16 some 50 cubic yards of surface boulders were removed from the channel with the aid of a stump-puller. These boulders ran in size up to one-half yard. When all the boulders were removed from the surface, dynamite was used to remove clay, hardpan and gravel underneath to give a depth of about 7 feet. It would be difficult to estimate the quantity of excavation done in this way. Fifty-one cases of dynamite were used. The channel, it is believed, is now in good erudition and navigable for boats drawing up to 6 feet.

" " The Muskoka Lakes Navigation and Hotel Company, with headquarters at Graven- hurst, the southern terminus of the route, operate a large fleet of boats during the season of navigation, all of which pass through the Muskoka narrows. The narrows are used by the Mickle-Dymeut Lumber Company of Gravenhurst for the passage of logs to their mill, and is used by innumerable launches and supply boats. It is estimated that from 35,000 to 40,000 tourists pass through Gravenhurst during the season of navigation. It was intended originally to place glance booms on both sides of the narrows, as a guide for boats, and a sum of $3,000 was authorized to be expended for that purpose. At a later date it was derided to widen and deepen the present channel by the removal of rock to give an average depth of 10 feet of water at low water, and to increase the width from 75 to 114 feet. This work involved the removal of 1,500 cubic yards of class " A '" material. On June 12. 1913. authority was given to proceed with the work by day labour, and the plant owned by the Ontario Public Works Department was secured without remuneration, to carry on the work.

An extensive tourist traffic is handled by boat, from there t" the French river, during the season. There is also a limited freight traffic. A contract was entered into with Mr. Ed. Conroy, of Peterborough, in December, 1911, for the construction of a pilework breakwater at North Bay for $13,900. Work . Linenced in July and stopped in October when all the piles were driven. Work was continued from the latter part of December on the ice, and was 54 per cent i mpleted on the 31st of March, 1913. Work was carried on by contractor until April 14, when the ice became unsafe. The structure, which was only 50 per cent braced and 9 per cent sheeted, was 75 per cent demolished by ice shove, April 18 and 19. Some of the loose timber wa- salvaged and piled on shore. Expenditure to March 31, 1914, $315.58. The structure was to have been 22 feet wide and average 647 feet long in the form of a circular ring, having an outer radius of 30.3 feet and consisting of pile bents thoroughly sway-braced longitudinally and transversely both above and below water line, and sheeted from 5 feet below proposed H. W. S. (elevation 643 to a height some 8 feet above E.H.W.L. (elevation 645-5). Owing to unsatisfactory progress with this work, an Order in Council was -I'd on the 22nd August, 1913, taking out of the hands of Mr. Edward Conroy the contract, and forfeiting the security deposit of $1,300 and the drawback of $770 held and retained in this connection. Plans and specifications were prepared during summer 1913. to rebuild break- water along different lines, incorporating standing portion of original structure. Later it was decided that that work would not be undertaken. Instructions were issued to remove standing portion of structure. Work was carted March 9. The portion, consisting of 72 piles, bracing, pile-caps, sheathing, shackles, bolts, &c. was completely removed and the resulting material piled on shore. at cost of $410. This is available for other work. lv IWPORT OF TEE CEIEF ENGINEER 273 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 Out of the appropriation, $5,000 was also authorized Eor repairs to North Ba; wharf. The wharf consists of a pilework and cribwork approach 25 by 1,034 long and a cribwork landing head 25 by 226 feet long. Owing to tin ndition of the wharf, repairs had to be started on short notice, during time ai which navig is heaviest. This made the cost of repairs somewhat higher than anticipated. Tin- work consisted of taking np the old double and laying a new 4-inch floor; taking up and relaying the 10 by 10 continuous capping; renewing several stringers ;>iul crib-timbers, as well as levelling up the floor. Work started on August 19, and was completed on November 12, at a cost of $4,633.23. Total expenditure during- fiscal year. $5,358.81. •Dredging.

Port Arthur, district of Thunder Bay and Rainy River, a city of 20,000 people, is situated on the north-west end of Lake Superior. Port Arthur, with Fort William, which directly adjoins it on the south, forms the western terminus of the Great Lakes navigation, and is, therefore, one of the most important Canadian ports. It is the Lake Superior terminal of the Canadian Northern railway and is on the main line of the Canadian Pacific railway. It is a port of entry for the Canadian Pacific and Northern Navigation Co. steamers, and for the passenger steamers from Duluth. A large part of the western grain crop is brought to Port Arthur and tranship- ped by boat and rail to the east. To handle this traffic there are six elevators with a total storage capacity of 16,000,000 bushels. In Port Arthur are located, among others, the plant- of the Western Dry Dock and Ship Building Co., the Canadian Northern Coal and Ore Dock Co., The Pigeon River Lumber Co., and the Atikokan Iron Co. It is the centre of an extensive lumbering industry, many piles and ties and much pulpwood being handled. It is also a large transhipping point for westbound rails, cement, farm implements, package freight, etc, and several large contracting companies make it their headquarters.

Work on the rubble mound breakwater at Bare Point, under construction si September 1911, was resumed for the season on May 10th, 1913. This breakwater, when completed will be 3,200 feet long with a width at the water line of 48 feet and a height above water level of 8 feet. The side slopes are li to 1 and the depth of water varies from 10 to 29 feet. It is the rubble mound type of construction and consists of a core of quarry run to 8 feet below water level having the sides and top covered, to the required section, with large rubble stone weighing 6 to 10 tons. During 1913, the shore end was advanced from station 16/oo to station i%o, the stone being deposited by train fill from a temporary trestle. Work on the outer end was carried on by means of flat scows and derrick scows. Some 240 feet was brought approximately to the section required and the remaining eet til led to within 10 feet of the water level. On account of the soft bottom, considerable settlement took place over the outer feet which greatly delayed the work. Operations were closed for the season on December 24, 1913. The quantity of stone placed during 1913-14 was: Core of quarry run 95,560 tons. Large rubble stone (6 to 8 tons) 74,183 tons. On October 9, 1913, the contract plans and specifications were sent for an exten- sion to this breakwater, to be 2,500 feet in length and of similar construction to the ii already under contract. Extension to new breakwater. The work known as the extension to the new breakwater was constructed to give protection to the south part of the harbour, from the Canadian Northern coal docks to the new Government elevator. It consists of a concrete superstructure on a timber cribwork, substructure, the whole on a pile foundation and rip-rapped on both sides. Its length including a headbloek at the south end, is 2,730 feet, its width 30 feet and its height above mean low water 8 feet. This extension was built by the Thunder Bay Contracting Company, of Port Arthur, Out., under contract. The pile foundation was driven and cut off "at the proper elevation, namely 22 feet, 6 inches below water level, on the ice during February and March, 1913. Some crib building was also started. Work was resumed on May 5, as soon as possible after the ice went out. A large plant was employed and operations were carried on rapidly. All the cribs. 2? in number, were constructed and set in place by September 8. The concrete superstruc- ture was commence! on July 15 and finishd on October 10, 1914. The work of placing the rip-rap was started in May and carried on steadily, the last load being placed on December 2, 1913, after which the work was accepted and a final estimate submitted. In spite of difficulties, due to a somewhat exposed position, the whole contract was completed in ten months and presents a very fine appearance. Contract plans and specification for a second extension to the above breakwater were prepared and sent on October 22, 1913. This extension is of similar construction to the section recently completed and is to be 2,540 feet in length. iv REPORT OF Till-: CHIEF ENGINEER 281 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 Pn i lying.

This contract was let on a scow measurement basis and the total quantity removed during the season was 52S.794 cubic yards scow measurement at a unit price of 1?. cents per yard. During the past winter, complete soundings and borings have been taken in the harbour to check up the work done and to provide for any necessary extensions. This contract should be completed by July 1st, 1914, as required, the total quantity authorized being 942,000 cubic yards. Expenditure for fiscal year 1913-14. $69,731.22. Joint Slip between Government Elevator and Davidson & Smith Elevator. A contract which had been entered into between the Department of Trade aid Commerce aud the Great Lakes Dredging Co., of Port Arthur, for the dredging of a slip 100 feet wide at the Government elevator, under construction by the Board of Grain Commissioners for Canada, was transferred to the Department of Public Works, and this contract was extended in order to dredge this slip 175 feet wide and make it a joinf slip between the Government elevator and one being erected by Davidson & Smith. This work, which was necessary to give access to the above plants, was commenced September 22, and completed November 6, 1913. The slip as completed is 1,670 feet long and 175 wide, the contract depth was 25 feet below the zero of gauge. The material was clay and sand. The hydraulic dredge Shuniah was employed and removed 103,603 cubic : place measurement, the material excavated being placed as backfill on the adj properties. Dipper dredge No. 6 was brought in also to do some cleaning up along the face of the Government elevator dock and removed 3,131 cubic yards, place measure- ment. This makes a total of 166,734 cubic yards, place measurement, dredged al 8 unit price of 25 cents per yard. The amount authorized was 200,000 cubic yards. The necessary soundings, cross sections, etc., were kept up as the work progressed. During March, 1914, this slip was thoroughly sounded again, and it was found that considerable filling in, due to the high face aud soft material, had taken place, and that some re-dredging will be necessary. 282 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V.. A. 1915 PORT BR I CE. Port Bruce is ,-i village situated at the mouth of Catfish creek, in the county of Elgin, on the north shore of Lake Erie, about 5 miles south of Aylmer. Population. about 150. Surrounding country is a rich farming district. Principal industry is fishing, in the pursuance of which it ranks as an important place. At the last session of Parliament, the sum of $7,000 was voted for an extension to the west pier, and on the 10th June last authority was received to expend the grant. Considerable delay was experienced in securing the timber required, owing to the fact that this port is five miles distant from the nearest railway, and securing of the material by water route is therefore practically obligatory for any large amount of limber such as was required. Operations were commenced on September :; and were closed down on the 24th iust. The work consisted of the construction of a close- faced timber crib 100 feet long. 20 feet wide, and IT feet high. Attempts made to sink this crib in positiou, during the latter part of October and the early part of November, met with failure as. owing to more or less heavy weather, the berth required could not be provided. The dredging performed by the Government dredge Sir Richard proved futile, as filling in occurred regularly after berth was partially dredged. The providing of this berth last fall had to be abandoned, as the dredge was urgently needed at Port Burwell. and the crib was then stored for the winter in the turning basin in inner harbour. All materials necessary to complete this crib, including stone- filling, has been secured ami stored "ii the site of work. Ninety feet of the outer end of west pier, which, to date, had no covering, was covered with 3-inch chestnut. In the execution of the above work, the following materials were purchased, and part of which arc still on hand for the completion of the crib above referred to. Approximately 117.0S4 feet b.m. timber, and 12.215 pounds of iron. Dredging. Under authority dated April 26 ami -Inly 29, 1913, 34,250 cubic yards, scow measurement, of clay, sand and a small amount of stones were removed by the Govern- ment dredge Sir liichard in deepening the entrance to channel between piers; in enlarg- ing the turning basin in the inner harbour, and in dredging a berth for the timber crib which latter had to be abandoned as above stated. The depths to which dredging was performed were !' feet below LAY L. in inner harbour, and 13 feet below L.W.L. in the channel between piers and entrance to same. The width of the completed channel is 50 feet. Operations extended from July 11 t< jii and October 6 to November 15 last. Total expenditure lor the current fiscal year, is $6,163.35. PORT BURWELL.

It is the terminus of a branch of the C.P.Tt.y. it is a harbour of refuge and is distant 51 miles from the port of Ashtabula, Ohio, and with which place an extensive traffic is carried on. The car ferry operated between this port and Ashtabula by the Penn- sylvania-Ontario Transportation Company brought in 11,943 ears during the season of 1913 with a tonnage of :>ls.'.>;i ,.,,,,„ ;m(j delivered to the Pennsylvania Company Ashtabula, 97 cars with tonnage of 2.210 tons of general merchandise. Popula- 350. Customs duties collected during the fiscal year 1013-11 amounted to $-203,441 -04. iv REPORT <>r THE CHIEF ENGINEER 283 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 A small fishing trade is carried on from this poinl which amounted to approxi- mately $76,000 in value, h is also a summer resort. On the 24th April last, authority was received to expend the sum of $4,000 t< cover construction of public landing docls at inner end of harbour and make repairs to piers. Subsequently an expenditure of $2,030 was authorized to till in gap betwei n inner end of breakwater and existing piling, to the easl of same, with sheet pile protection work. Operations wer mmenced on the 5th August, 1913, and were closed d mi the 31st inst. Work consisted of renewal of defective face timbers and decking on the wesl pier; the construction of a pile landing- pier, L85 feet long and 16 feel wide at inner end of harbour and the construction of a 63 foot extension to pile wall at outer entrance to harbour with 12 by 12 white oak close sheet-piling. In the execution of the above work, approximately 27,850 feet, l>.m.. white oak. 30,119 feet b.m. pine and other timber, 2,270 lineal feel of piling and 4,080 pounds of iron were used. Breakwater. Four hundred and eighty-five feet of superstructure and 100 feel of substructure of breakwater under contract with Mr. M. J, Tlogan. of Port Colborne, was con- structed, thereby compeleting this work. Dredging. Between April '.» and duly 8 and between November 30 and December 27, 1913, the Government dredge i^ir Richard was engaged in widening and deepening the outer entrance channel between piers, in turning basin and in forming a channel from the main harbour to the new landing dock lately constructed at inner end of harbour. Between .Tune 18 and September 19, 1913. the dredge M&ade of the C. S. Boone Dredging and Construction Company. Limited, was employed in widening and deepening the cuter entrance channel. The total quantities removed by both dredges during the periods stated were 94,949 cubic yards, scow measurement, of silt, -and and clay, and of which quantity the Government dredge removed 49,050 cubic yards, scow measurement. On the completion of dredging, the safe depths in the various parts of the harbour were as follows: — In the outer entrance channel. 18 feet below L.W.L. for a width of 250 feet. In channel between piers, 17-3 feet below L.W.L. for a width of 75 feet. In turning basin 14-3 feet below L.W.L. for a width of 100 feet. In approach to landing pier. 12 feel below L.W.L. for a width of 25 feet. The est of the work performed under the contract with the C. S. Boone Dredg- ing and Construction Company, Limited, was $12,802.29. Total expenditure during the fiscal year 1913-14, $65,509.47. PORT FINDLAY.

At the last session of Parliament the sum of $132,000 was voted for harbour improvements and on the 10th June last, authority was received to expend, by day . the amount of $17,500 for partial re istruction of the west pier and in effecting general repairs to the piers. 286 UEPAR2 UENT OF PI BUG WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V.. A. 1915 West Pier. One hundred and sixtj feel of this pier was entirely reconstructed with close-faced sheet piling- for substructure, tied back securely to anchor piles in rear of structure, and with stone filling between; superstructure consisted of 12-inch reinfor 1 i creti face walls tied together with reinforced cross-tie* and decked with 6-inch grano- lithic flooring laid on well settled stone and gravel filling. In addition, 100 feel of the substructure of this pier was practically renewed in a manner similar to that already described, and part of the old pier was excavated to L.W.L. for a length of 240 feet. There is new on hand sufficient material to complete the reconstruction of 340 feet of this pier next season. The decking, stringers and a few face timbers wen- renewed for a length of over 200 leer and other minor repairs were made to the timber portion of this pier. East Pier. Four hundred and eighty-seven feel of the superstructure was stripped preparatory to oomph te removal of this pier, during; the coming si ason, and part of the stone thus obtained was stored for use in the reconstruction of the west pier. Operations included under repairs and renewals extended from May 1, 101:;. to tin' :;i -t instant. SouthlVI St Bl( (llnrilh I . i ontract tor this work was awarded to Mr. M. J. Hogan, Port Colborue, Out., on the 30th December, 1911, for the sum of $210,376 ami at the beginning of the presi u1 fiscal year, four hundred feet of the substructure was completed. Work was resumed on the 1st of April and was closed down for the season on September 27. when the entire substructure had been completed. In addition. 880 lineal feet of footing block for superstructure was constructed on shore for use next season. On the 2nd of Augn-t last, advice was received of the approval of a change sub- stituting concrete footing blocks for mass concrete covered with iron plates on the superstructure of this work, on the understanding that a reduction of $10,000 would lie made to cover this change. Progress in this work ha- not been altogether satisfactory, but there would appear i" be mi tea-on why the contractor cannot complete the work within the extension ol time applied for. with ordinary weather prevailing. Dri ■iying. Under date of April 8th and June 18th, 1913, authority was received to complete con trad between the Windsor Dredging Company and the Department. Work was commenced oh April 1st and ceased on .lime 24th last, during which period 58,961 cubic yards, scow measurement, of sand, silt and clay were removed in deepening a portion 530 feet long by 300 wide at outer entrance to channel between breakwaters to 22 feet below L.W.L.; in deepening the channel 55 feet wide, between piers to o depth of l'ii feet below I. .W.I... and in deepening a considerable portion of the inner harbour, 275 feet wide, to a depth id' 19 feet below L.W.L.

Providence Bay is situated on the south shore of Manitoulin island, Lake Huron, about 25 miles southeasterly from (lure Bay, and 1ms the only harbour along the coast. The population is aboul 300, engaged in agriculture and fishing, each ol which is fairly important, and two or three i i -- 1 1 i n j^- tugs make headquarters here. Passenger steamboats call regularly to and from Owen Sound and intermediate po The work consisted of the construction of an extension in the existing landing pier 294 feet 6 inches long. Originally this extension was designed to I"- all crib- work, and a contract was entered into in 1910 with C. IT. Sherwood for it- construc- tion, lie, however, met with such adverse weather conditions during which an --11 by 20-foot crib which he had placed in position and filled with rock was wrecked and shifted out of place, that he applied to he relieved from the performance of hia contract and, after due consideration, consent was given, on tin- understanding thai the Department pay for work performed and materials delivered at cost price- only. The crib built by Mr. Sherwood lay in such an awkward position that it was impossible to repair it or continue its construct hm. and the expedient was adopted of driving close-piles on each side of it and tying them together witb iron rods across the tops of the crib and then filling between with stone, thus utilizing tin wrecked work as filling'. This pile-work portion is the inner end of the work and is 20 feet wide by 94 feet 0 inches long. The remaining 200 feet consists of two cribs. each 80 feet long by 20 feet wide, and a head-block crib 40 feet long by 32 feel wide. The entire cribwork rests on a wide pole mattress, and a -tone talus is built against the exposed face of tile work. The object is to form a greater area of quiel harbour and more extended landing space. An appropriation of $33,000 was made at the last session of Parliament to provide for the cost of this work. A contract dated February 6th, 1013. was entered into witb Mr. E. V. H. White, of Burlington, Out., to perform it for the sum of $21,480. but out of which an amount was to be retained to reimburse the former contractor, equivalent to the value, at prices stipulated in the specifications, of materials found on the ground delivered by him and for the work which be had performed. •Work was commenced on the 30th of April, 1913, and was completed on July 31st. The expenditure during the fiscal year was $21,633. ol \HRY BAY. Quarry Bay. county of Ontario, is located on Lake Couchiching, Li miles from Langford station. The wharf is located at Geneva park, adjoining the property of the Young Men's Christian Association, on which are established national summer schools. At the present time, they have IT cottages, a large pavilion, a gymnasium, athletic grounds and a number of private residences. Authority was given to expend the sum of $5,000 for the construction of the wharf by day labour, and work was commenced 8th August and completed 13th December. The work consisted in the construction of a wharf of solid cribwork. having a length of 70 feet and a width of 20 feet, witb a stone approach 70 feet by 20 feet, and a shelter.

It is a divisional point on the Canadian Xorthern Ontario railway, and is surrounded by an extensive lumbering and farming district. 288 DEPARTMES'T OF PUBLIC WORK* iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 Authority for the construction of a wharf at Rainy River, by day labour, was given on June 10, 1913. Plans were prepared for a pile wharf 160 feet long and 30 feet wide, with an " L " 50 feet long and the same width. Work was started July 28, and the wharf was com- pleted October 3, 1913. A freight shed was constructed on the " L ". The total cost •f the wharf was $3,455.83. Dredging. The Rainy river, district of Thunder Bay and Rainy River, flows from Rainy lake into the south end of the Lake of the Woods, and forms the international boundary between the province of Ontario, Canada, and the state of Minnesota, U.S.A. The mouth of Rainy river is divided into two outlets, one leading direct to the open lake, known as the " Old Steamboat Channel ". and one behind Sable island, or the " Sand- hills." known ;is the "Towing Channel." Both cutlets are partially impeded by sand bars. To enable boats, operating on the Lake of the Woods t.. ascend the river as fax as the town of Rainy River, some 18 miles from the mouth, to give continuous navigation between that place and Kenora, at the north end of the lake, a distance of 150 miles and to aid navigation interests generally, improvements at the mouth of the river were necessary. An investigation was made and it was recommended that a channel be dredged through the sand bars at the outlet known as the " Old Steamboat Channel ". A contract was let for this work to J. T. Home, Esq., Fort William, Ontario, and two separate sections, approximately 1,200 feet apart, are being dredged, and when completed each one will be 800 feet long, 200 feet wide and 14 feet below the zero of gauge. The work was started September 15, 1913, and suspended for the season on Novem- ber 10, during which time one part was dredged 100 feet wide and 800 feet long, and the other part 50 feet wide and S00 feet long. All the dredging was carried down to the contract depth, namely, 14 feet. The dipper-dredge Moose was used, working on a place measurement basis of payment. The average depth of face was 8 feet, and the length of haul 1A miles. The material was sand and clay. Estimates for 29,728 cubic yards, place measurement, were returned at a unit price of 45 cents, making a total of $13,377.60. During February, 1914, complete soundings were taken to check up the work already done and to provide for future work if necessary. These soundings show that very little filling-in had taken place to date, and that the work is sufficiently advanced to ensure completion by July 1, 1914, as required under the contract. Total yardage authorized, 65,000 yards. .V pile protection work 800 feet in length, running from Oak point and parallel to the channel, was recommended to ensure permanency for this dredging. Contract plans and specifications were prepared and tenders called for. This contract has not been awarded as yet. l:n II USD's LANDING. Richard's Landing is a village of al inhabitants situated on the north- west side of St. Joseph island, in the St. .Mary's river, on the steamboat route from Sault Ste. Marie to Blind river, Little Current, etc. ; all steamboats plying on this route call regularly, and there are also two daily steamboats to Sault Ste. Marie. The traffic consists chiefly of the export of agricultural products and imports of •rdinary merchandise. A section of upwards of 50 square miles is served over this wk;ir:'. St. Joseph island is fertile and parts .if it well settled. iv REPORT OF Tin; CHIEF ENGINEER 289 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 Instructions were given on June 10, L913, to prepare oontracl plans and spi fication in connection with the appropriation made at the last session of Parlia- ment of the sum of $15,000 for the construction, by contract work, of a wharf exten- sion. The plans were duly prepared and forwarded to Ottawa, and the work awarded to John O'Boyle of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, by Order in Council, dated the 3rd of January. The contract is on a schedule price basis and entails an expenditure of approximately $21,T46.03. The work consists of a concrete wharf having a wooden cribwork substructure 180 feet long by 18 feet wide in front of the existing wharf; the removing of all the decayed portions of the present wharf, and replacing it with stone lill ahoul 1 16 feel long by G4 feet wide. There has been no expenditure. l;i\ ER ST. LAWRENCE., Kingston to Brochville. The object of the work is the development of the middle channel through the Thousand islands in the Upper St. Lawrence river so as to make a safe channel for large grain and freight boats with 14-foot draught. At present the majority of i boats use the American channel. The work consisted in the removal of a number of rock shoals and submerged points on the river St. Lawrence between Kingston and Brockville to an elevation 16 feet below low water level (El. 213). The contract for this work was given in February, 1909, to Mr. Frank Gilbert at $3.95 per cubic yard (in place) all material under contract being rock. During the same year, Mr. Gilbert assigned the contract to Mr. E. G. Evans, and during 1911, Mr. Evans formed the Montreal General Contracting Company to handle the work. The plans, where work has been done, are located as follows: From west to east, •a submerged shoal off Punts island, a submerged point off Camelot island, a shoal off Myres island, a submerged point off Lyndoe island, a strip off Morris point, three shoals north of Wood island, and a submerged strip and small island south of Wood island. The work on the contract was completed in December, 1913, and the total exca- vation from the start of the work (1909) amounted to 29,981 cubic yards. During the fiscal year 1913-14, 8,218-5 cubic yards were removed (place measure- ment). The plant on the work, during the fiscal year, consisted of the dredge Ottawa, a steel drill scow, tug, dump scows, etc. Work for the fiscal year started on May 13 and ended on December C, when work of contract was completed. .RIVER THAMES. The River Thames flows through the city of Chatham and ISA miles west of the latter place it empties into Lake St. Clair. At its mouth, a channel 8,100 feet in length has to be maintained in order to reach deep water in the lake. Owing to the shifting character of the bottom of the channel, the material being sand, continual filling in occurs, and, in consequence, the cleaning out of the channel has to be done almost annually, in order to provide a minimum depth of 12 feet. A steady traffic prevails in and out of this river throughout the season, from the city of ( liatham and the smaller points lying between the city and the mouth of the river. The Chatham Navigation Company operates a passenger and freight boat between the cities of Chatham, Windsor and Detroit, making three trips per week. Durins' the fiscal year 1912-13, 155 vessels arrived at the port of Chatham having a tonnage of 19— iv— 19 290 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC Murks iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 39,649 tons, and the revenue collected during the said time, amounted to $189,054.35.

At the last session of Parliament, the sum of $3,100 was voted for removal of obstructions between the city of Chatham and the mouth of the river, and on the ^th April, authority was received to expend $516.66, which amount was supplemented by an additional $2,583.34 on the H'th of June following, making a total errant 1,100. Operations were commenced on the 17th April and were activelj carried on until the 4th October last, when the logging outfits were laid up for the winter. Three such outfits were employed most of the time on this work. Between the 4th and the 31st October, a small amount of work had been done in ail 'nding to plant and preparing it for nexl year's work. The work consisted principally of the removal of i'..">7s logs and other hstruc- - from the river between the city of Chatham, and a point about one mile east of Prairie siding, together with four days' work in lifting obstructions from the entrance al ;li" i ith of the river. This work is acknowledged on all sides to be of immense bi nefit to the shi] interests which utilize this river. Any saleable logs recovered were sold, and an account of $87.83 was realized on same and credited to this work. Dredging. Between June 27, and September 23, 1913. 13,824 cubic yards scow measurement of -and. clay and a small quantity of stones were removed by the Government dredge Ontario in order to improve the entrance channel and make it a full width of 100 feet at base and 14 feet deep at L.W.L. It was found impossible to complete the work as the plant engaged was required elsewhere. It is the intention, to further improve this channel during the coming season. Ice Breaking. Authority was received under date of January 6 to expend, it' necessary, the amount of $1,500 in addition to the amlount required for rental of the tug engaged for the purpose of breaking ice in this river in order to prevent the formation of ice jams and consequent flooding of the lands adjacent to the river and covering a stretch of territory from the river mouth to the city of Chatham. On January 7, arrangements were made with Captain J. S. McQueen of Amherst- burg, to place his tug LeEoy Brooks at the mouth of the river for the sum of $500 and to have her ready to break ice as required, on the said river, when called upon to do so between said date and the opening of navigation this year. The operations extended from February 1 to February 7 and again from the 11th inst. to the 27th hist, inclusive. During the latter period, the tug was employed night and day and in the stretches of the river adjacent to Prairie siding, where the ice had jammed to a thickness of about G feet and for a length of nearly a mile, dynamite was effectively used and the tug reached the head of the jam on the 25th inst. While this system of breaking ice has proved effective in the present instance, there is no doubt that it was largely accounted for by the exceptionally favourable weather during the winter break-up. The total expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14, for the above works, is $5,506.98. RONDEAU. Rondeau.

During the season of L913, .".12,208 tons of coal were brought in at this port, erry making HIT cross trips during that time. The customs duties for the year 1912-13 amounted to $115,13S.18. During thi same period, 175 vessels arrived with tonnage of 157,982 tons, exclusive of coal. A ill fishing trade is carried on at this point and the minimum draught for ves ing (hi- port is Is feet. At the last 3ession of Parliament, the sum of $2,300 was voted for repairs to piers and on the 8th of April last, authority was received to expend, by day labour, $383.5:;. On the 10th June following, an additional grant was authorized of- $1,916.07. Operations extended from April 1, 1913 to March 25, 1914. Between these dates the following works were performed: — West Pier. About 500 square feet of decking, 32 lineal feet of face timbers and 50 feet waling were renewed, four mooring posts were renewed and 30 white oak fender piles were driven and wrapped with cable along the north end of pier. East Pier. General repairs made to decking and a few face timbers, stringers and 40 feet of guard rail were renewed and repairs were made to sheet piling on outer end of pier. Breakwater. About 60 tons of heavy stone rip-rap were placed along the outer end of breakwater to protect it from erosion and twenty-four concrete blocks; weighing 3 tons each, were constructed and 60 tons approximately of rubble stone were pur- chased, all of which material is on hand with a view to being placed early in the next fiscal year as further protection against erosion. In the execution of the above work, approximately 1,200 lineal feet of piling, 9,616 feet b.m. timber, 735 pounds of iron and 60 tons of rubble stone were used. Dredging. Under authority dated August 19 and 26, 11,505 cubic yards, scow measurement, sand, silt and clay were removed by Government dredge Sir Richard, in removing a shoal from the entrance channel between piers, from turning basin in inner harbour and in deepening and lengthening the channel in the Lake Erie Coal Co.'s slip, which, under agreement with the coal company, is available for public use when required. Operation extended from the 1st to the 30th of September, and on their comple- tion, a minimum safe depth of 18-6 feet below L.W.L. has been provided in entrance channel and turning basin for a width of 250 feet, while in the coal slip the minimum depth provided was 17 feet below L.W.L. Total expenditure for the fiscal year 1913-14 is $2,299.03. . 19— iv— 19J 292 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 ROSSEAU.

On June 11, 1913, authority was given to extend the wharf by an addition 20 feet in length and IS feet in width, at an expenditure of $1,500, the work to be done by day labour, consisting of wooden substructure and concrete superstructure. Work was begun September 19 and continued up to November 15, when, owiiii: to necessity to perform some dredging, and the settlement of the crib, the appropriation was exhausted. The work had been carried, at this date, to placing the concrete blocks and backing the same with stone, still leaving mass concrete to be placed. On November 28, 1913, authority was given to expend a further sum of $120 to place concrete top, but season was too far advanced to get the work done. The total expenditure for fiscal year 1913-14, including inspection, is $1,502.54. ST. JOSEPH ISLAND. This i,-. a large island lying in the mouth of St. Mary's river, some 30 miles long by 15 miles wide, and is for the most part fertile land and fairly well settled. The westerly or Mud lake shore produces considerable dairy and garden produce, which is taken to market at Sault Ste. Marie every day during the summer and fall. The object of the work is to provide a warehouse on each of the Government wharves for the shelter and storage of the residents products and imports during rough weather. Authority was given on June 10, 1913, to do certain construction work by •day labour, with the appropriation of $4,000 granted at the last session of Parliament. This construction consisted of the building of warehouses 18 feet wide by 40 feet long, with rock and eribwork foundations, on the Government wharfs in Mud lake, on the ■west side of St. Joseph island, at respectively the end of the "C" line road, the "K" line and the " P " line. Work was commenced August 7 on the "C" line, and was completed October 15, 1913; on "K" line June 2. and was completed March 31, 1914; on "P" line July 26, and was completed March 23, 1914. In the building of these warehouses 20,533 feet b.m. of lumber, 5,8S5 lineal feet of timber, 1,693 pounds of iron and nails, 36^ M. shingles, 83J gallons of paint and oil, and 650 cubic yards of stone rilling were used, at a total cost of: — •• C " line $1,350 70 "K" line 1,339 47 "P" line 1,321 20 • $4,011 37 ST.

Ry., in the county of Renfrew, on Chats lake; between it and Norway bay, a growing summer resort, there is regular boat service. At its last session. Parliament appropriated $1,900 for extensive repairs and improvements to the concrete wharf. The wharf as originally constructed consisted of an earth approach 1 17 feet long, earth till approach 18 by 85 feet and landing head 50 by 08 feet, between concrete walls which rested on a crib-work foundation, Un- expected settling of the foundation caused breaks in the concrete wall and irregular- ities in its elevation and face lines. Owing to this, it was considered expedient to build new concrete face walls outside the landing-head, resting on close centered piles and connect up the old and new work on top by means of a reinforced slab. There was also a considerable amount of earth fill required to grade up the approach and landing- head. Early in February, 1914, plant owned by the department was shipped to this work. Old cable, iron and expanded metal, to be used for reinforcing, were also secured from stock on hand at other points. On February 16th, work was started and continued up to March 31. During this time, 60 piles, 25 and 30 feet long, 1,750 lineal feet were driven, jacked into place and secured by cable lashing and round timber bracing. Of the concrete wall, which when finished will be 8 feet high, and 196 feet long, 3 sides of landing-head, 1 foot 3 inches wide at top and 3 feet 3 inches at bottom, 2-5 feet in height, have been placed. Tn addition, about 50 per cent of the earth grading has been completed. It is expected that all the cement required is on the work.

Marie, including the contiguous city of Steelton, lui~ a population ) about 20,000, and is steadily increasing in population and importance as the indus- trial and commercial centre of northwestern Ontario. It was founded by Father Joques, 300 years ago, when a mission to the Indians was established on the river, at the foot of the falls which he christened Sault Ste. Marie, and from which the river became known as the St. Marys river. It was subsequently a mere trading post until comparatively recent years, since the lake traffic began to grow into importance and demanded the improvement of the canals and locks to permit cargo vessels to trade from Lake Superior ports to Lake Erie ports, the trade has grown into gigantic proportions until at the present time the amount of freight passing through the river is. according to the official canal office records, about 100,000,000 tons. The trade of the town itself is large, and in 1913, according to the report on Trade and Naviga- tion, the value of goods entered through the customs was: — Imports $7,726,940, and exports $7,373,465. The Lake Superior Corporation's steel mills turn out about 1,500 tens of railway rails per day, and its pulp and paper-mill manufactures somi 600 tons of newspaper per day. Instruction was given on 10th June, 1913, that the appropriation amounting to $26,000, voted at the last session of Parliament, was available to carry on the con- tract work of reconstruction of the approach to the Government wharf, which contract was entered into on the 30th of October, 1912, with John O'Boyle, of Sault Ste, Marie, Ontario, for the sum of $24,480. Work was resumed this year on the 7th of April, and was completed on the 31st of October, 1913. The work consisted of the rebuilding of the old inner portion of the Government wharf, which was built originally by private parties and was a jumble of cribs of various sizes. Some of these were removed and new cribs built to replace them, and stone filling with macadam finish, surrounded with concrete face walls, now replaces the old wooden superstructure. The work covers a block 120 feet wide by 22t'> feet long, and the rubble stone approach 22 feet wide by 144 feet long. An extra crib, 14 feet wide by 88 feet long, was placed in the east face, for which an extra price of $2,640 was authorized. Further improvements were made, consisting of two cribs, one 9 feet wide by 91 feet long, and the other 12 feet wide by 84 feet long, and 237a square feet of concrete decking, increasing the quantity and quality of the surfacing material in the roadway and esplanade approach. These improvements amounted to $2,429.97. Extension. This work consists of the construction in a depth of about 18 feet of water of a line of cribwork 243 feet long by 18 feet wide, with a concrete superstructure, and the filling-in with rock of the area behind it 243 feet long by 41 feet wide on the west side of the wharf to fill in a recess and provide the necessary space for the construction of an addition to the warehouse. The progress of the work to the end of this fiscal year consists of the placing of 4,100 cubic yards of rock, 140,820 feet b.m. of timber. 28,734 pounds of iron, 5,520 lineal feet of ballast floor poles in place, and the delivery of - 9,000 feet b.m. of timber and 1,840 pounds of iron. jv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 295 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 Instructions were given on loth June, L913, to prepare contract plans and specifica- tions in connection with an extension to the Government wharf.

That company have a large elevator with a capacity of 4,500,000 bushels, also docks with very large accommodation; it is also the terminal of their Peterborough line. Ferries operate between Port McNicoll and Victoria harbour at frequent intervals. The inhabitants have been put to considerable inconvenience in not having a public wharf. Although the lumber company have two wharfs they are fully occupied by their own business, and it is difficult at times for the ferries to make a landing, therefore other boats plying on these waters object to call at Victoria harbour on this account. Besides the regular inhabitants of these two ports, there is quite a large interchange of travel between the two railways at this point. The Government obtained a water lot from the Victoria Harbour Lumber Com- pany at the foot of Ellen street, and let a contract for a concrete wharf 150 feet long by 24 feet wide, with stone approach 50 feet long, and a warehouse 20 by 40 feet, to Messrs.

Tlit- city of Windsor is situated on the Detroit river in the county of Essex, and is a terminus in Canada "1 the Grand Trunk, Canadian 1 * : t < • i ti < - . Michigan Central and Pere Marquette railways. It is a thriving and prosperous city with a popula- lation of about 25,000. It is a very important port t>t' entry, the customs duties collected in the city together with the adjoining town of Walkerville, amounting to approximately $3,752,995.59 for the fiscal year 1913-14. During the fiscal year 1912-13, 1,094 vessels arrived at this port having a total tonnage of 562,982 tons. At the last session of Parliament, the sum of $77,000 was voted towards the con- struction of a public landing dock and warehouse at this point. On the 25th January, 1913, a contract was awarded to Mr. A. E. Ponsford, of St. Thomas, fur the. construction of the landing dock for the amount of approxi- mat< ly $47,809.41 to cover the cost of constructing a dock 1-4 feet long. On the 21th .Imie last, an Order in Council was passed granting authority t.. build an additional length of 169 feet 6 inches to the dock, work to be performed by the contractor, .Mr. A. E. Ponsford, and the price to he the unit price of main con- tract and entailing an expenditure of approximately $19,000. On the 2nd of June last, authority was received to drive piling required for foundation of proposed warehouse at a cost of $76S.S1. On the 1st of August, authority was received to expend an additional sum of $337.00 in substituting reinforced concrete piles above water level in centre of pier in plac< of tinii) r. Active operations were commenced on April 21 and ceased on January 111, 1914, and were again resumed on February 25, 1914, and were still in progress on the 31st March. The work performed to date consisted of the completion of 427 feet 9 inches of landing dock, composed of pile substructure and reinforced concrete superstructure. In the remaining 225 feet 9 inches of the work the substructure is entirely completed ( xcepting for being lined up and for the securing in place in the rear of the structure of about 95 lineal feet of sheeting. In addition, concrete footing blocks arc already in place f>.r a length of 39 feet, and the pile foundation for warehouse lias been completed. Plans and specifications were prepared for a modern reinforced concrete ware- house, and on February 25, of this year, a contract for its construction was signed by A. E.

Tiie city of Windsor has now, in accordance with an agreement previously mader started the construction of a roadway in rear of that portion of dock built to date. The total expenditure for fiscal year 1913-14, including inspection, is .$49,715.94. PROVINCE OF MANITOBA. ASSINIBOIXK RIVER. Owing to the large quantity of water coming down the A"iuiboine river during _ii- water period, it was found necessary to provide dykes on the south side of the river in parishes Baie St. Paul and Poplar Point, to prevent the flooding of a large 'i g 1 farming land. Bj means of ploughs and scrapers earth embankments were built at necessary ts. The cost of this work was $5,117. 19— jv— 20} 308 DEPARTUKXT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 DELTA Protection Work. Repairs were made to the protection work at the mouth of the channel at Delta. This work was damaged by ice. The protection consisted of round piles driven 5 feet 3 "inches, centre to centre; to these piles four 3 by 12-inch horizontal plank were bolted with a 4 by S-inch timber, set vertically and bolted through the plank to each pile: Two thicknesses of 1-inch plank 3 feet long were driven vertically and spiked to the bottom horizontal plank. This 1-inch planking was carried away by the ice. The repairs to this work consisted of the removal of the 4 by 8-inch timber from each pile, the driving of 3 by 12-inch close-faced sheet piling 14 feet long and a 2 by G-inch waling bolted to the sheet piling. This piling was driven as close to the top of the old work as the hammer could go. The cost of the work is $951.81. GIMLI. Protection Work The object of this work is the protection from wave erosion of that part of the town of Gimli lying south of the Government wharf. In the year 1908-09, some 2,420 lineal feet of protection work was built and has had the desired effect, but owing to the rotting of piles, washing away of brush, etc., it was found necessary to renew almost the whole work. The first work consisted of two parallel rows of piles, 4 foot centres between rows, with piles driven at 8 foot centres on the outer row and 4 foot centres on the inner row. The space between the piles was closely packed with bundles or facines of willow brush, the brush being held down by cross pieces and longitudinal spars which are placed on top. While the above work did what was expected of it, still the lasting properties of the brush were such that the action of the waves washed it away, thus exposing the bank to the eroding action of the waves as before. It was decided to change the class of work and introduce sheet piling instead. The piles which were rotted were replaced, and intermediate piles were driven on the front row, thereby strengthening the structure where most needed. Six by 8 inch waling was bolted to the front row of piles and B.C. fir, 3 by 12 by 12 foot sheet piles, were driven and spiked to waling. Braces were bolted from back to front row of piles. Out of the original 2,420 feet of work, 1,750 feet were constructed this year, at a cost of $5,426.94 leaving 670 feet more to construct. Expenditure, $5,426.94. Dredging. The berth back of the Gimli pier, which is used largely as a harbour of refuge, being found too small and not deep enough for present requirements was extended and deepened. Departmental dredge No. 204 worked from August 13 to October 7, removing 19,198 cubic yards sand, clay and boulders, at a cost of $3,648.55 equal to 19 cents per cubic yard, which includes 2i per cubic yard for dredge vessel repairs. The material was scowed one mile and a depth of 7$ feet below zero was provided. GULL HARBOUR. An extension to the old wharf at Gull Harbour was found necessary. Tenders were called for and a contract for 100 feet of new work was let to William Dewar of Selkirk, for $8,944. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 309 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 The wharf is built of pile bents with caps, stringers, flooring and curb. Clo I'.hvd sheet piling is driven around the entire extension and the whole tilled with stone. At the end of the fiscal year, the round and sheet piling was driven, the caps and stringers and about fifty cords of stone were placed. Repairs to Wharf. The wharf at Gull Harbour, Lake Winnipeg, was built between 1901 and 1001. It was in bad condition and extensive repairs were needed. Materials were brought and delivered during the summer and the repairs made after the ice had become trong enough to do work. Repairs consisted of driving round piles on the outside of the old cribbing; the eaps, stringers, flooring and curb were renewed. Expenditure, $4,746.48. HNAUSA. Repairs were made to Hnausa wharf, consisting of replacing rotted sheet piles and renewing curbing and main strapping at a cost of $954. L'4. LAKE MANITOBA. A survey for the purpose of ascertaining the practicability and cost of lowering Lake Manitoba was made during November, December and January. The outlet from the lake is the Fairford river. At two other points, low land extends from the lake, viz.: from the south end of the lake to the Assiniboine ri\ el- and from Doghung bay to Lake St. Martin. Surveys and levels of these localities had already been made and it was known that both were impracticable. Hence this survey was confined to the outlet through the Fairford river and to determining the amount of land that will be benefited by lowering the water and the effect on naviga- tion. The survey at Fairford extended from a point about one mile into the lake from the mouth of the river, covering a wide area and extending towards the shore and down the river to a considerable distance below the foot of the rapids. The bed of the present river, near the lake, is solid limestone, The survey, however, established the fact that the river is not flowing out of the lake over the lowest depression in the rock. Across the point on the north .side of the river, the rock is so low that it is possible to excavate a canal, without reaching bed rock, of sufficient depth to lower the lake two feet. In the prosecution of this work it is thought best to first cut a 45-foot towing- ehannel in the lake, then a cut 120 feet wide through the point north of the river, then to clean out the river below the point. The estimated cost of this work is $35,250, not including the cost of the dredging plant. The time required will be upwards of two years. The land south of township 25, was examined and found that the amount that would be benefited by lowering two feet to be 83,192 acres. As the snow was deep- and transportation and stopping places difficult to obtain, no survey was made at the north end of the lake, but from existing surveys showing sloughs, etc., and with the knowledge gained on the south end of the lake, it is estimated that the amount to be reclaimed amounts to 65,200 acres. Total, 148,392 acres. If the lake is lowered one foot, 74,196 acres will be benefited. A special survey was made of Dog lake and during periods of high water, both north and south winds raise the water on Lake Manitoba which overflows into Dog lake; a canal could be cut from the south, end that would lower the water. If, how- ever, Lake Manitoba be lowered there would not likely be any necessity of doing any thing to lower Dog lake. 310 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS lv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 There are many shallow places on the lake. Two largo shippers have recently chosen the all-rail route from Lake Manitoba points to Winnipeg- in preference to water and rail, and as the shipping on the lake is now almost nil, little considera- tion need be given to navigation. Other points of interest as summer resorts, shooting grounds, club houses, wharfs, &c, are not of sufficient importance to offset the benefit to be derived to the farming? community adjacent to the lake. NETLEY LAKE. Netley lake, Selkirk county, is south of Lake Winnipeg- and west of the T i . < i river from which it is separated near the south end by a very narrow ridge only rive feet above water at the highest point and falling rapidly each way. The neutral outlet from the lake leads to Lake Winnipeg and is known as Salamoina's channel. During' continued northerly winds, the water is raised in Lake Winnipeg and this in turn raises Netley lake, flooding a large area of hay land around the lake. For the purpose of regulating the elevation of the water it was decided to cut a channel across the narrow ridge at the south end from the lake to the river. The water in Netley lake is deep enough for river boats and this channel would allow access to 4 or 5 miles of the west shore where both wood and hay can be received for Winnipeg and other river points. Departmental dredge No. 20.2 worked on this cut from October 3, to October 17 removing 6,645 cubic yards clay at a cost of $917.24, equal to 13.8 cents per cubic yard, which includes 3.S cents charged to dredge vessel repairs. Length of cut about 285 feet, width 90 feet and depth of water 7 feet. All the material was cast over. PELICAN LAKE WHARF. Owing to the extreme low water in Pelican lake, Souris county, and to the fact that the class of boats using the new wharf were of small size the wharf was too high to land to or from. To overcome this, a landing platform was constructed on either side of the wharf as near to shore as possible, so as not to interfere with the wharf at a later date should the waters of the lake rise to former elevations. This platform was laid upon 5 by 10 inch stringers which were placed upon exist- ing waling and steps leading down from a small platform level with the deck of the wharf. This was built from both sides of the wharf so as to afford shelter to boats in stormy weather. This work was done at a cost of $175.48. Grading the approach to the new wharf was also completed at a cost of $144.02. RED RIVER. New entrance channel. Operations were begun at the new entrance channel on November 10th, 1913, and ceased on March 21, 1914. During the season, the Department of Marine and Fisheries built two range lights for the use of. the new channel. The work performed was to extend different types to meet conditions that exist through the construction of the work. The protection work on the east side of the new channel, one thousand feet, con- sists of two rows of piles driven parallel to the centre line of channel, 8 feet apart and 4 feet centres longitudinally. On the channel side of the work, 10 by 12 inch B.C. fir wales were bolted on the top and at water level and used as guides for 4 by 12 by 24 and 30 foot grooved and tongued B.C. fir sheet piling; cross braces of round tamarac iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ETSQITSEER 311 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 9 to 10 inches diameter were bolted from the front to the back row. Longitudinal round tamarac bracing were bolted on top of cross-braces against back rows of piles and angle braces of tamarac were used to further strengthen the work. This type of work was also continued on the west side of the channel, in al] 2,060 feet of new work. At the end of fiscal year 1912-13, 300 feet of similar work, west side, remained unfinished; this work was completed in the present year. For a distance of II11 feet, the old work, driven in 1911, was strengthened by driving intermediate piles in the channel side row and bracing with 9 to 10 inch tamarac braces to back row of piles. 10 by 12 inch wales were bolted on the piles and 4 by 12 by 24 foot grooved and tongued sheet piles were driven and bolted to the work with screw bolts. Longitudinal braces were also bolted along back row of piles to further strengthen the work. For a distance of 85 feet on west side, work done last year was sheet piled on the channel side and angle and longitudinal braces of tamarac were bolted to the work to further strengthen it. Owing to the action of the waves, during the heaviest storm of last year, a por- tion of the lighter type of work, was washed out on the west side of the channel, for a distance of 75 feet; this was replaced by the same type of work, but of a heavier charac- ter, 4 by 12 by 24 foot sheet piles, grooved and tongued, were used and bolted to 8 by 10 waling with three-quarters inch screw bolts. During the open season of 1913, Lake Winnipeg averaged 4 feet above zero of the water gauge, higher than it has been for years, and the result was the action of the waves washed a channel out between the shore ends of the work and the bank of the river at its mouth, causing considerable silting in the channel proper. These openings have been closed up by constructing 158 feet light type of work on the west side, and 32 feet on the east side. Expenditure, $43,584.37. Dredging. This dredging was for the purpose of deepening the water in the new channel between the mouth of the Red river and Lake Winnipeg. During the previous winter, protection work was extended out to 1,800 feet from the shore. Sounding having shown the necessity for further dredging, departmental dredges Nos. 201, 202 and 205, worked in the channel. Dredge No. 201 worked from April 24 to October 1 removing 93,744 cubic yards silt, sand and clay at a cost of $10,539.98, equal to 11-24 cents per cubic yard. This includes 2-28 cents per cubic yard for dredge vessel repairs. The dredging was in the channel in the lake from Station 2 to Station 37. All the material was pumped over the protection work or away from the channel on both sides. Dredge No. 202 worked from May 16 to June 5 and from August 9 to September 30 removing 22,892 cubic yards clay at a cost of $4,077.27. equal to 17:81 cents per cubic yard. This includes 3-8 cents per cubic yard for dredge vessel repairs. The dredging was done between centre channel and the lake shore for the pur- pose of increasing the width of the channel and easing the turn at centre channel. This material was scowed 1A miles. Dredge No. 205 worked from .May 15 to June 5 removing 10,990 cubic yards clay at a cost of $1,485, equal to 13-5 cents per cubic yard. This included 3-2 cents per cubic yard for dredge vessel repairs. This dredging was dune between centre channel and the lake shore for the purpose of increasing the width of the channel. This material was scowed 1J miles. 312 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 Repairing Banks above St. Andrews. During the period when St. Andrews dam is in operation and the Red river is maintained at elevation 703-0, the banks of the river are being constantly washed away. It was found necessary to protect the river road where it approaches the bank, also to repair two bridges which have been affected by the raising of the water. The rock dredged from the channel at the north end of St. Andrews lock and which had been blasted the winter previous was placed along the bank, at water level. In the case of bridges, they were removed and corrugated galvanized iron pipes were put in with a stone and earth fill to the level of the road. The length of bank repaired was 3,048 feet. The cost of this work was $2,962.80. ST. ANDREWS. Approaches to Bridge. The construction of the approaches was continued this year. During the ■winter months, the steel work was erected and, with the arrival of mild weather, the con- crete work was continued. This work consists of an approach to both the east and west ends of the steel service bridge. Each approach consists of an earth embankment held in place by ;: retaining wall, and a steel aqueduct from the embankment to the main bridge, the towers of which are carried on concrete pedestals. On the east side, a road was constructed from the end of the approach to the main road. On the west side, a Strauss trunnion bascule lift was provided over St. Anrdews lock. The quantities in this work are as follows : — East side, earth embankment and road 1,930 cubic yards, concrete pedestals for hand railing 47-7 cubic yards, excavation for same 25-8 cubic yards, retaining wall (concrete) 211 cubic yards, excavation for same 206 yards, concrete in pedestals for steel work 121-5 yards and excavation for same 235 yards. On the west side, embankment, 1,825 cubic yards, concrete pedestals for hand railing, 24-4 yards, excavation for same 25-4 yards, concrete in retaining wall and abutment 1*13-9 yards, excavation for same 3515-9 yards, concrete in pedestals for steel work 95-3 yards, excavation for same 142 yards, excavation for drain 262-7 yards, stone filling for drain 537-5 yards, tile drain 570 lineal feet, and reinforcing steel 35,640 pounds. For both sides, total steel work was 351,728 lbs.; wooden floor, 84,226 feet, b.m. ; hand railing, 20,100 lbs. The bascule lift was contracted for at a lump sum. Allowance was made for 499 cubic yards of the excavation in the west retaining wall and abutment as hard pan. Piling of a total length of 2,447 feet was delivered but not driven. An extra was allowed for the steel plates over the joint between the moving and the fixed floors of the lift span. Deductions were made for the following: One railway safety gate, one stove for operator's house and seven window shades for the same place. The cost of the work was $47,335.96. ■ Pavement of Highway Bridge. The highway on top of St. Andrew's dam was completed by the laying of an asphalt pavement and wooden curbing. Tenders were called, and the contract was let to D. J. Harry Webb, of Winnipeg, for $6,290. The length of this work was 931 feet, with a width of 23 feet. The curbing was 6 by 6-inch timber bolted every 18 inches through the roadway to the dam. The material for this work was brought from the asphalt plant of the city of Winnipeg by barge to St. Andrew's dam. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 313 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 A L-inch binder course of broken stone and asphaltie cemenl was laid, with a b» I course composed of a mixture of purr bitumen, sand and pulverized limestone. Port- land cement was dusted on top and the whole work rolled with a gasoline roller. The curbing was given two coats of paint before laying. A drawback of 20 cents per square yard was retained from the contractor as a guarantee for the maintenance of this work for ten years. Total cost, $6,310. Fishway. The contract for the fishway was let to Wm. Newman & Co., of Winnipeg, for $4,456. This work was started about April 1, 1013, and is now in working- order. The work is of reinforced concrete and has a channel 5 feet wide and 4 deep, od length of about 100 feet in two parallel sections. The rise of the fishway is from an average water level of 684-0 to 703-0, the regulated water level of St. Andrew's dam. This channel is divided into 32 pools by 33 ilashboards. There is a drop of about 6 inches between each pool. The entrance to the channel is protected by a wooden screen, from driftwood. The cost of this work is $6,707.00. Superintendent's Residence at Locke-port. The foundation for this was put in during the previous fiscal year. During 1913-11, a drain and cesspool were put in from the cellar and the residence completed. This work consists of a concrete foundation to the ground level, then 2 feet of granite foundation, and the walls are of Oriental brick. Its general dimensions are 48 feet frontage, with a depth of 39 feet; there is a verandah at the south front of the house 18 feet by 10 feet; the house has two wings, and the area at the back 21 by 14 feet, the entrance to which is through a pergola. All work was done by day labour except the plumbing. Expenditure, $7,178.11. Dredging. The dredging at this place was for the purpose of removing rock blasted during the previous fiscal year. Considerable difficulty was experienced in the spring in holding the dredges in place and moving to allow steamers to pass, owing to the swift freshet current. Dredge No. 202 worked from June 9th to August 7th, removing 5,162 cubic yards of rock. The expenditure amounted to $3,891.70, equal to 75.41 cents per cubic yard, to which add 3.8 cents par cubic yard for dredge vessel repairs. Dredge No. 205 worked from May 7th to May 14th and from June 9th to July 1st, removing 3,103 cubic yards, at a cost of $2,270, equal to 73-12 cents per cubic yard, to which add 3.2 cents per cubic yard for dredge vessel repairs. SELKIIiK. The ice in going out in the spring did considerable damage to the wharf. The repairs consisted in renewing fenders, curbing, decking and some other minor repairs. The expenditure amounted to $371.67. Marine Railway. During the month of October, men with horses and carts were placed at work removing earth from the cut, above the water, on the site of the proposed marine rail- way. This material was graded around the top end of the incline. 314 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 Material was purchased to lengthen the dipper arm on dredge No. 205 to enable material to be dredged to grade at the outer end of the incline. Six bore holes having a total length of 150 feet were put down to test the bottom below the proposed marine railway track. Soundings were taken over the ana dredged during the fall, also across the river on a prolongation of the centre line. On March 9, a contract for $72,000 with the Grandall Engineering Company to build the railway was executed. The company began work immediately and at the end of the fiscal year had delivered 120,000 feet timber, 217 piles and 45,300 lbs. bolt iron and reinforcing steel, amounting in value to $9,072. The cost of the other work enumerated above — earth excavation, dipper arm, bore holes and sounding's amount to: labour, $1,288.05; materials. $444.86; making a total of $1,732.91. Mooring Posts, West Slough. As the west slough, Selkirk, is used by the shipping interests as a winter harbour and is subject to Strong currents and drift ice at times of high freshets, it was found necessary to place mooring posts for their safety. These posts consist of a cluster of four piles driven as closely together as possible, and bolted to each other. There are fifty clusters in all, a row on each side of the slough extending northerly 3,600 feet from the Government shipyard. The piles were all 35 feet in length. Total expenditure, $1,938.90. Dredging. Selkirk slough forms the winter harbour of nearly all the steamboats on Lake Winnipeg and the Red river. The Public Works shipyard is located near the head of the slough. The Government dredging fleet winters at this yard. On account of the increasing traffic during recent years, the shores are washing down and the water becoming shallower. Advantage is taken at the first and last of the seasons, when dredging cannot be done elsewhere, to do necessary work here. Departmental dredges Nos. 202, 20k, and 205 were employed as follows: — Dredge No. 202 worked from April 28 to May 7, and from October 21 to October 29, removing 4,342 cubic yards mud and clay, at a cost of $917.24, equal to 21-21 cents per cubic yard. This includes 3-8 cents per cubic yard for dredge vessel repairs. Dredge No. 20k worked from April 24 to May 0, removing 4,956 cubic yards, at a cost of $1,100, equal to 22-2 cents per cubic yard. This includes 2-5 cents per cubic yard for dredge vessel repairs. Dredge No. 205 worked from April 18 to May 6, removing 8,924 cubic yards sand and clay, at a cost of $1,200, equal to 13-45 cents per cubic yard. This includes 3-2 cents per cubic yard for dredge vessel repairs. The slough is protected and there was no lost time from storms. All the material was scowed 2 miles. Expenditure, $3,217.24. Fish Hatchery. A request having been made for dredging at the end of the suction pipe leading to the Selkirk fish hatchery, departmental dredge No. 202 worked at the hatchery from October 18th to October 20th, removing 413 cubic yards at a cost of $164.35, equal to 39.79 cents per cubic yard. This includes 3.8 cents per cubic yard for dredge vessel repairs. The possible dredging time was 31 hours and the lost time, chiefly in towing to the work, amounted to 19 hours, being 61 per cent of the possible time. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENCUMBER 315 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 Marine Railway. The work of dredging for the new marine railway at Selkirk was started in October. The dredging extended from a point where the water was 15 feet deep, about 295 feet from the shore, to the shore, thence 255 feet into the river hank. At tno outer end, the dredging was about _'<><> feet wide and it narrowed to 60 feet wide at the shore end. The outer 300 feet of the basin dredged could not be taken down to grades a~ tne dipper arms were too short. The work was done by departmental dredges No. 20b and No. 205. Dredge No. 20k worked from October 9th to November 1st, removing (.4,160 cubic yards clay and gumbo, a1 a eosl of $1,652".63, equal to 14.42 cents per cubic yard. This price includes 2.5 cents per cubic yard for dredge vessel repairs. Dredge No. 205 worked from October 9th to October 30th, removing L3,386 cubic yards clay and numb.., at a cost of $1,560.03, equal to 11.65 cents per cubic yard. price includes •'!.:.' cents per cubic yard for dredge vessel repairs. SNAKE ISLAND. Dredging. The improvements to the lagoon harbour of the Snake Island fish hatchery, Lake Winnipegosis, Dauphin county, consisted of removing some shallow places from the south entrance, the deepening of the channel to 6 feet through the harbour and the finishing of the north entrance. This entrance serves a double purpose. It was much needed to enable boats to make harbour in certain conditions of weather and to provide a source of pure water supply for the hatchery. Originally, the Government built a pier into the lake in front of the hatchery, but the ice shoves, at a time when the water was required, resulted in the pier being partially destroyed, the pipe broken and the spawn lost. The pier rested largely on bed rock and could not be secured against heavy shoves. During the fall, the suction pipe was laid to the north entrance. A basin 40 feet square and 10 feet deep was dredged in the north entrance to provide for the suction end of the pipe. The material in the basin was too hard for the orange peel and some blasting was done by the Marine and Fishery Department. Depart- mental dredge No. 203 worked from May 24th to September 6th removing clay, gravel, boulders and rock as follows: — South entrance 331 cubic yards. North entrance 6931 " " Embankments 552 " " Boat harbour 338 " " Channel through harbour 2567 " " 10,749 The cost of this work was $4,712.05, equal to 43.9-6 cents per cubic yard, which includes one tenth of one per cent for dredge vessel repairs. The high rate per cubic yard is owing to unforeseen difficulties in releasing the dredge from the bar where it had been driven by storm late last fall, the unsatisfactory service of the Government tug Irene which has since been scrapped, and the hardness of the material encountered in the cut through the bar at the north entrance. 316 DEPARTMEXT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 The possible dredging time was 1,129 hours and the time lost as follows: — Hours. Storms and weather 04 Repairs 214 Holidays 35 Towing and preparing- for work 10 Moving dredge and changing cut 12 Driving piles 45 Fitting out and laying up 256 Miscellaneous 11 Total lost time 647 The lost time equals 57.} per cent of the possible time. VICTORIA BEACH BAY. Dredging. The dredging at this place was part of the original design for a harbour when the breakwater was built. This having been finished, departmental dredge No. 20b worked from July 16 to August 7 removing 7,493 cubic yards sand, clay and boulders at a cost of $1,875.12, equal to 25 cents per cubic yard, which includes 2-5 cents per cubic yard for dredge vessel repairs. The scows were towed one mile. Depth of water, 7£ feet below zero. WINNIPEG. Dredging. Owing to the Red and Assiniobine being silt-bearing rivers, the channel dredged at "Winnipeg last year required dredging this year. This dredging had also to be extended both up and down stream and consisted of two cuts from a point 1,395 feet north of the N. T. Railway bridge to the Broadway bridge. South of the Broadway bridge there were three cuts for a distance of 1,040 feet. The minimum of water required is 10 feet, but as the bottom was soft and the channel rapidly fills with sediment, the depth was made greater. The work was done by departmental dredges No. 20b and 205 as follows: — Dredge No. 20k worked from May 12th to July 10th, removing 23,677 cubic yards silt, sand and mud, at a cost of $3,801.10, equal to 16-06 cents per cubic yard. This item included 2-5 cents charged to dredge vessel repairs. Dredge No. 205 worked from July 3rd to October 7th, removing 50,973 cubic yards silt, sand and mud, at a cost of $6,520, equal to 12-8 cents per cubic yard. This item included 3-2 cents per cubic yard charged to dredge vessel repairs. WIWIPEGOSIS. Dredging. The town of Winnipegosis, near the mouth of the Mossy river, is the distributing and receiving point for all Lake Winnipegosis trade. In entering the lake, the Mossy river flows through a submerged channel which is exposed to severe storms and requires frequent dredging. After finishing at Snake island, departmental dredge No. 203 worked from September 7th to October 14th. removing 5,203 cubic yards of sand and clay. During the windy weather, the dredge was employed in the river chiefly improving the dock where the plant winters. The quantity excavated here was 2.035 cubic yards. IV REPORT 01 THE CHIEF ENGINEER 317 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 The expenditure was $2,362.44, amounting to L'O.'.tT cents per cubic yard, which includes one-tenth of one per cent for dredge vessel repairs. The depth of water made was 7 to 8 feet, ami the materia] was SCOWed "ne mil. . SASKATCHEWAN. CRAVEN DAM. Minor repairs were made to the old dam to close up leaks and to strengthen it generally. These consisted in placing rock on the down stream side where necessary and lining the up stream side with gravel, clay and brush. This method has been found effective in stopping leaks that showed from time to time. The fish ladder should be extended as the bottom of the river has scoured and fish are unable to ascend the ladder at low water. This will be attended to during the summer when the stage of water will admit. The dam in its present condition is safe and will require no further attention to effectively maintain the desired level in Last Mountain lake. LAST MOUNTAIN LAKE. The usual spring repairs to the dredging fleet were attended to early in April, 1913, and actual dredging started on May 26. Departmental dredge No. 207, was employed with tug Ruby and two scows. The work consisted of the removal of a strip 25 feet wide from the east side of the dredged channel extending from the turning basin at Valeport to deep water in the lake. The channel is now 65 feet wide and 4,700 feet long and has a minimum depth of 6 feet at low water. Dredging of same was completed on September 28. Number of cubic yards removed (scow measurement), 19,967. Material : Clay — cost about 36 cents per cubic yard. In March last, a survey -of the area already dredged and of that proposed to be dredged this season was made, in order to ascertain the condition of the bottom in the turning basin and channel, and for the purpose of determining the expansion factor for the information of the dredging branch. Expenditure, $6,503.19. NORTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER SURVEY. Two stretches of river were surveyed prior to 1913; the first, 300 miles in length, extending from Prince Albert to Le Pas, was surveyed in 1911, and the second stretch, 241 miles, approximately from Edmonton to Lashburn Ferry, was completed in 1912. There remained a reach of 234 miles unsurveyed between Lashburn Ferry and Prince Albert at the beginning of the season 1913. Work was started on this reach early in May and carried on continuously throughout the summer, until August 15, on which date Prince Albert was reached and a connection made with the survey started from that city in 1911. The survey of the river from Edmonton to Le Pas is now complete. The approx- imate distance between these two points is 775 miles. After reorganizing the main. survey party in Prince Albert, the latter part of August, the survey of the river from Le Pas to Lake Winnipeg was started. Thirty- one miles of river were triangulated, traversed, levelled, and sounded before winter set in, when the party returned to Le Pas and was disbanded. The office staff returned to Prince Albert and have since -been engaged in platting last season's work. 318 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 Daily readings of water gauges were taken at the following main stations : Edmonton, Battleford, The Elbow (Ceepee), Prince Albert, and Le Pas, Man. A connection was made at Prince Albert, Ceepee, and Battleford with precise levels of the Department of the Interior. These were found to cheek very satisfactorily with Saskatchewan river levels. It is expected to check again at Edmonton and Le Pas. when precise levels have been carried to these points. An investigation of the Clearwater river and of the main branch of the Saskatche- wan river was made in the foothills for flood control purposes. Three possible sites for dam- and storage reservoirs were examined on the Clearwater river; two of these were abandoned on account of insufficient storage capacity; the third site, which has been selected, is about 55 miles from Rocky Mountain House and will afford a storage capacity of 138,000 acre-feet. An advantageous location was also found in a gap between two mountains on the Saskatchewan river at Kootenay Plains, about 75 miles up river from Rocky Mountain House. The storage possibility at this site is 239,000 acre-feet, approximately. The watershed of the Clearwater dam is estimated at 430 square miles and that of the Kootenay Plain site at 1,730 square miles. Ti is proposed to continue these investigations this season. The streams to be examined are the Sheep, Siffleur, and Baptiste rivers, and both the South and Main branches of the Brazeau river. The office staff at Prince Albert was engaged during the winter in the reduction and platting of last summer's notes. Plans are now well advanced, but will still require several months' work before they can be completed. This work will occupy the attention of the office staff during the summer. PRINCE ALBERT. Protection Works. Approval of new design for these works was secured and work authorized to be proceeded with by day labour on April 18, 1913. Orders for piling, lumber, iron, tools, etc., were placed and work started with a small force of men. It was not until the latter half of June that a full force could be employed and driving started, the new steam pile driver not being- ready for use. Driving was pushed. without interruption to tli end of 'lie season when the driv r-9 av? became unworkable by reason of low water about September 30; framing, capping, bracing and the placing of brush and ri;> in the works was carried on a- piling was being driven. The total length of protection works completed during the fiscal year was some 750 feet. This section extends upstream from the west end of the present wharf towards the Canadian Northern railway bridge where work- are to close on the south abutment of the bridge. The remaining section of about 1,500 feet will be built next year. During the winter months, a force of men was engaged in gathering stone from bars in the near locality. A considerable portion of this stone was placed in the work:-, the balance has been piled up at convenient points on the shore for use next season. Tin- amount of stone so stored is about 14." cord-. Total expenditure, $16,027.74. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF /.' \ 01 \ /.'/ ■.'/.' 319 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 ALBERTA. \ T 1 1 \BASE V RIVER. The Athabaska river rises in the Rocky mountains and flows, generally -peaking, in a northeasterly direction across Northern Alberta emptying into Lake; Athabaska. North of the town of Athabaska it serves as the only method of transporting supplies to the districts of Fort MacMurray, Great Slave lake, and the great Mackenzie River basin. At a distance of about 170 miles mirth of Athabaska a series of rapids com- mence, continuing at intervals almost to Fort MacMurray. The largest of these rapids, called the Grand rapids, has a drop of 40 feet in less than a mile. Large boulders have obstructed these rapids, thus rendering the passage of scows, carrying supplies northerly, very dangerous. Until recently it has been n< ssary to unload the scows at the head of the rapids, and to let them run over empty, portaging the supplies overland to the foot of the rapids. Considerable work lias been done in the past at clearing out the Grand rapids. Work was started there during the fiscal year 1910-11, and continued during each succeeding year. Work during the year just closed was started on September 25 last, and the work accomplished at Grand rapids, has been improved as much as can be done in clearing out obstructions. This work would cover a distance in length of one-half a mile in removing by dynamite boulders from the channel. Work was also done at Little Grand rapids, which lie immediately below the Grand. Boulders were blasted out of the tracking channel over a distance of 450 feet long and 10 feet wide. On the completion of this work, in the early part of February, the foreman took a part of his crew down to Brule rapids, a distance of 15 miles below the Grand rapids, and blew out five large rocks which obstructed the scow channel. When this work was accomplished he continued to the Boiler rapids, a distance of about 30 miles north of the Grand, where he also blew out five large boulders. Amount expended during the past fiscal year, $7,167.01. EDMOSTON. Wharf. This wharf is located immediately east of the Government low level bridge in the city of Edmonton. The wharf as built had a total length of 180 feet along the back and 121 feet along the front, with an extreme breadth of 60 feet. The design also called for two levels, the upper one being 11 feet 5 inches above the extreme low water mark, and the lower one being 7 feet 5 inches above the same datum. The original contract called for the construction of a wharf alone, but it did not, how- ever, provide for any filling back of the wharf, which was required in order to give access to the wharfs for teams and pedestrians. This work was undertaken, by the department by day labour, last spring. In connection with this it was necessary to sheet pile the whole back of the wharf, which was done with 4-inch tamarac, 14,500 feet, b.m., of this material was used, and a good support was provided for the filling material. This filling was obtained by drag scraping the high bank immedi- ately above the wharf and in grading the roadway. A 20-foot roadway, level with the wharf, was provided in this manner of filling material as well as grading the approach. It was found after the ice ran out that a number of piles along the face of the wharf were badly damaged, and some carried away altogether. In order to prevent 320 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 a possible recurrence of this, it was considered advisable to face the whole exposed ■ of the upper wharf with 4-inch planking, so that ice and drift material would not find any lodgement. With this end in view the piling that was damaged or destroyed was replaced and new piling put in, one between each of the fender niles, in order to provide support for the planking. Twenty of these piles were put in, this work being started early last winter when the water was at its lowest. After this piling was done, and the surface of the wharf brought to a true plane, 4-inch sheeting was ship-spiked along the whole outer face of the wharf, a distance of 121 feet; this 4-inch sheeting was also continued along the angle face of the wharf, a distance of 85 feet, and to reinforce the upstream nose of the wharf this planking and piling was continued into the bank, a distance of about 25 feet. It might be mentioned that soundings were taken at regular intervals during the last season along the wharf, and it was found that no erosion of the river bed in the vicinity of the structure had occurred. In fact, the tendency had been rather in the opposite direction. There was expended during the fiscal year just closed, the sum of $2,396.64. GROUARD. Grouard is on the Lesser Slave lake at the west end of the lake. The object of this work is to create a channel from deep water in Lesser Slave lake to Grouard, which is located on the Buffalo river, connecting Buffalo bay with Lesser Slave lake. The proposed channel when completed will have a width of 50 feet on tangent and 60 feet curves, with a depth of 4-5 feet below low water. The nature of material removed consists principally of gumbo or dark sticky clay. The total quantity of material removed comprises 24.569 cubic yards, scow measurement. Of this total amount there was approximately 4,618 cubic yards excavated in sand and gravel, the balance being gumbo as stated above. This work has all been done by dredge P.W.D. N o. 206. Actual work at digging was commenced on May 7, 1913, and stopped for the season on October 11, 1913. No tugs nor scows have been used in connection with this plant, the material being side cast as the dredge proceeded. Owing to the nature of same there has been very little filling up of the channel due to slides or settlement, except in certain localties where we cut through sand bars. STURGEON RIVER. Improvements carried out during the last fiscal year consisted in dragging weeds out of the channel in this river from the highway bridge crossing at St. Albert into the Big lake, and also a channel practically the whole length of the lower lake. A distance of approximately 4J miles was covered in this district, making a channel sufficiently wide for boats to use. After this work was done, the boat used for this purpose was transported by rail to Lac Ste. Anne, which drains into the Sturgeon river. The work done here last year consisted of clearing out the growth of weeds and removing boulders where possible, as a large area of haylands adjoining this lake have been flooded for several years owing to unusually high water. It is claimed that this high water is caused by drainage into the Lac Ste. Anne and the adjoining lakes of certain creeks which were diverted in their courses by construction works of the Canadian Northern railway and the Grand Trunk Pacific companies. Work was started on this river on July 1 last, and stopped for the season on September 30. As a method of operation in removing these weeds, we used the Government launch Pioneer, which had lain at Athabasca for several years in a state of disuse, bringing the same to St. Albert by rail, where it was overhauled. A weed cutting blade was fitted over the stern wheel and arranged so that it could be hoisted and dropped by two iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENOINEER 321 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 sheaves. In operating, the blade was dropped and the boat forced ahead for several hundred feet. The blade was then raised by two men operating same, and the weeds cleared off by hand. This method was found to be quite satisfactory. The boat was left for the season at Lac Ste. Anne, where it is again proposed to start work during the present fiscal year, when the appropriation becomes available. BRITISH COLUMBIA. ALICE ARM. On the Department's wharf at Alice arm, Observatory inlet, a freight shed 16 by 16 feet, shingled and painted according to standard, was built by day labour. This freight shed provides protection for any goods landed by prospectors and settlers, and it was completed under the day labour system for $520. A1NSWORTII. Ainsworth is an important mining camp on the west side of Kootenay lake. The population of the camp is about 600, and heavy shipments of ore and concentrates are made to the Trail smelter. The sum of $10,200 was voted in 1913-14, for the construction of a wharf, and on March 18, 1914, a contract was let to Messrs. J. Daney & Co., of Nelson, for the work. It will be a reinforced concrete structure, built on a rock reef, and will be 32 feet by 236 feet long. The amount of the contract is $9,242. Work was actually begun in March, 1914, and is now in progress. Argenta is a mining, farming, fruit-growing, and lumbering settlement, at the head of Kootenay lake. It is also the landing for the route over the Well's pass into the Windermere district, and for a portion of the district along the Lower Duncan river. The permanent population is about 100, and there is a considerable floating population. Authority was granted, during the year 1913-14, for the construction of a wharf to cost $7,000. Work was begun on December 2, 1913, and completed on January 28, 1914. The wharf consists of a float, 40 feet by 89 feet, held in place by pile dolphins, and the approach is a floating one, 16 feet wide by 288 feet long, held in place by a pile on each side of each section. The sections are 16 feet long and are held together by chains. There is a freight shed, 12 feet by 16 feet, on the wharf. The total cost of the work was $5,659.02. ARROW PARK. Columbia River. On April 11, 1913, the departmental dredge Sheldrake began operations in the river immediately above Arrow Park wharf for the purpose of removing the bar in the river which made landing at the wharf, in low water season, very difficult. She worked at this point till the rising water necessitated closing down for the high-water season on April 30. Work was resumed November 19, 1913, and completed January 8, 1914. The improvement has a total length of 610 feet and a width of 75 feet, with 19— iv— 21 322 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 a minimum depth of 8 feet at low water stage. The material moved, which amounted to 13,745 cubic yards, was composed almost entirely of clay and rock, and was overcast, 2,400 cubic yards of which were overcast a second time. The total cost of the shore operations was $5,227.99. BARNSTON ISLAND. Barnston Island, New Westminster district, one of the larger islands on the Fraser river, is situated some 9 miles up river from the city of New Westminster, and is a point of call for the regular river steamers. Authority being granted, the departmental pile-driving plant was used to con- struct a pile bent and timber-decking wharf at this point. The wharf consists of a pier head 60 feet by 60 feet, with an approach 225 feet by 14 feet. Work was started on October 29 and completed on December 2, at a cost of $2,499.98. BEATON. Beaton is situated at the head of the north arm of the Upper Arrow lake, and is the landing point for the Lardeau Mining district, including the camps of Beaton, Camborne, Trout Lake, Ferguson, and others, to which points daily stages run. Authority was granted, during the year 1913-14, for the construction of a wharf to cost $8,500. Work was begun on November 3, 1913, and completed January 20, 1914. The structure is a floating wharf, 40 feet by 80 feet, with a floating approach 16 feet wide and 256 feet long, built in 16-foot sections and connected by chains. Owing to the impossibility of driving pile dolphins to hold the main float and approach in place, on account of the ground being solid rock, chains and heavy concrete anchors were used. A freight shed, 12 feet by 20 feet, was built on the wharf. The total cost of .the work was $7,713.69. BELMONT WHARF. The work consisted of the construction of a small wharf 40 by 50 feet with an approach of 18 by 136 feet including a landing slip at one side of the wharf. The work was commenced July 26, and was completed on the 31st of August, 1913. Eighteen creosoted piles were used in the construction of this wharf to nullify the action of the teredo. The amount authorized for the above work was $2,500, but it was found neces- sary to exceed the appropriation by $420.97, which has not yet been paid to the Contractor. BOLD POINT. Bold Point, Comox-Atlin district, is the centre of a farming and logging district on Lwoer Valdez island, some 100 miles northwest of the city of Vancouver. It is a regular point of call for steamers plying on the Straits of Georgia. Authority being granted for the construction of a wharf at this point an agree- ment was entered into with James McDonald & Company to perform the work at unit prices of $23 per pile and $30 per M. for timber, both in place. The completed work consists of a pile bent and stringer construction, approach 240 feet long and 14 feet wide with the necessary gangway leading to a float 42 feet by 58 feet. Work was started on October 27 and completed on December 6, at a total cost of $2,479.15. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 323 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 BURTON CITY. Columbia River Narrows. On April 1, 1913, the departmental dredge Sheldrake was engaged in dredging the channel helow Burton City, removing eroded material from Cariboo creek, which is deposited annually in the narrows. The cut was completed on April 11, 1913, and during this period, 3,955 cubic yards of material, mostly hard gravel, were removed at a cost of $923.67. The total length of cut, including previous work, is 2,215 feet, with a width of 75 feet and a minimum, depth below low water of 9 feet. The total amount of material overcast was 25,444 cubic yards, at a cost of $3,839.30. CAMPBELL RIVER. The repairs to this wharf consisted of replacing 10 piles which had been knocked out of the approach, also new piles for 30 bents, and renewing planking on approach. This work was commenced July 2S, and was completed October 31, 1913. Further repairs were found to be necessary consisting of driving 15 piles, trimming 14 piles, bolting and wiring 10 piles, tearing out 13 piles, and renewing planking, which was commenced February 9 and completed February 19. Amount expended, $2,497.31. CAMP ISLAND. Camp island, Comox-Atlin district, is situated in the Straits of Georgia approxi- mately 100 miles northwest of the city of Vancouver. It is a point of refuge from southwest storms, and a point of call for steamers plying among the islands of the straits. Authority was given to carry out certain repairs, and build an addition to the Government wharf at Camp island. An agreement was entered into with James McDonald & Company to perform the work at unit prices of $23 per pile and $30 per M. for timber, both in place in the work. General repairs were made to the approach and pier-head, and the outer 60-foot face of the latter was extended 20 feet out to deeper water. Work was started on October 29 and completed on November 12, at a total cost of $1,983.82. CANOE PASS. . Canoe pass, New Westminster district, is situated at the mouth of the Fraser river and separates the main land from Westham island. The pass provides a navi- gable passage to the main channel of the Fraser river for several canneries and the settlers along its banks. The work carried out this year had for its object the protection of the south bank, at a point near the public wharf, from erosion. The departmental plant was used to carry out this work, and some 600 lineal feet of the bank is now protected by mattressing, faced by rock. Twenty-four mattresses, each 40 feet long by 25 feet wide, were placed and weighted with 511 tons of quarried rock. Work was started on August 9 and completed on October 18, during which time the plant was utilized for six days for driving line piles at the mouth of the river and in carrying out minor repairs to the wharf at Steveston. The total expenditure amounted to $4,259.97. I'APILANO. The Capiliano is a mountain stream having its source in the Howe Sound moun- tains, Vancouver district. It flows in a southwesterly direction and enters the first 19 — iv — 21J 324 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 narrows of Burrard inlet through thre distinct branches. Owing to the high elevation of its source and the precipitous nature of its course down the mountains, the freshets are sudden and destructive. The object of the work is to control the freshets by confining and diverting the flood water into the west channel, as the east branch empties into the first narrows where the widening operations are being carried on by dredging. Authority was granted to expend $2,700 by day labour. This work was put in hand on July 11, and consisted in the construction of a dam or barrage some 350 feet long across the east branch of the river. This work was completed on August 13, at a cost of $2,6S0.22. A subsequent flood widened the channel around the end of the dam built, and occasioned other damage. Work of repair was started in March, and is being continued to date; the work pro- posed and now under way consists of a submerged, loose rock, diversion dyke some 600 feet long along the easterly bank of the west branch of the creek, the extension of No. 1 dam across the cut made by the above mentioned freshet, and the deepening of the bed of the west branch of the creek, parallel to, and below, the rock dyke now being built. CASCADE FLUME. Cascade Flume, Comox-Atlin district, is a small settlement on the mainland coast of the Straits of Georgia, some 25 miles northwest of the city of Vancouver. Com- munication with the lower mainland is maintained by small steamers plying in coastwise trade. Authority was granted to construct a small wharf at this point. Owing to the exposed position of the site it was considered advisable to substitute for the wharf a strongly built, free moving, float at which it would be safe for steamers to land. The work was performed by day labour. The float, 26 feet by 50 feet, consists of a plank and cross-tie deck overlying large cedar, logs, the whole anchored to a cast- cement block weighing 2A tons. Work was started on October 1 and the float towed to position on January 20. The total expenditure was $1,313.78. CEDAR CREEK. Kootenay Lake. Cedar creek, on the west side of Kootenay lake, one mile north of Ainsworth, is the tramway terminus and shipping point for a number of mines operated by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company, and the Silver Hoard Mining Company. These companies have extensive ore bunkers at Cedar creek, and owing to the fact that material slipped from the surrounding banks into the channel, dredging was necessary to enable barges to be berthed alongside the ore pockets. On April 1, 1913, the departmental dredge Bittern was operating at this point and continued here until April 7, 1913, whence she was moved to Nelson. Work was resumed and continued during two other periods, September 17 to September 22, and October 30 to December 11, 1913. Two cuts were made, 136 feet and 102 feet in length respectively, with a width of 49.5 feet, and an average depth of 5 feet at low water. The material moved, mostly rocks and clay, amounted to 8,306 cubic yards, 6,355 cubic yards of which were cast over. The total cost of the above work amounted to $2,011.08. CHASE. Dredging. From July 12 to 19, some necessary dredging was done between the departmental wharf and warehouse, 1,716 cubic yards of gravel being removed and overcast and iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENOIXEUR 325 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 teams and scrapers employed to distribute the material. The cost of this work, includ- ing the teams, amounted to $240.24. On the 11th November, the Pelican was moved from Little River to the public wharf at Chase, and work w.is started on a cut along the west eido of the wharf to allow small craft to obtain shelter and tie up during low water season. This work, which was completed on the 26th November, consisted of a cut 450 feet in length, 45 feet in width, with an average face of 4-5 feet, and necessitated the removal and overcasting, including double handling of 3,993 cubic yards of sand, which, at a cost of 12 cents per cubic yard, amounted to $407.16. CHILLIWACK. Of the specified amount of $3,500 for removal of snags and general improvement of Fraser river at Chilliwack, and included in the general appropriation for Fraser river improvements, $3,186.15 was expended. The work consisted in the removal of snags and other obstructions to the river opposite the town of Chilliwack throughout the year and the strengthening and repairing of two wing dams. CHURCHOUSE. Churchouse, Comox-Atlin district, is a settlement on the mainland approximately 125 miles northwest of the city of Vancouver. It is a point of call for coastwise boats and numerous tugs engaged in the logging industry. Authority was given to proceed with the construction of a landing flisat on a small bay fronting the settlement. The work was performed by day labour. It consists of a float 24 feet by 50 feet, a floating approach 6 feet wide and 336 feet long, and the necessary anchorage, etc. Work was started on October 15 and completed on November 24 at a cost of $841.79. CLAM BAY, THETIS ISLAND. This work consisted of the construction of a new wharf 40 by 60 feet with an approach of 12 by 251 feet and a shed 12 by 20 feet. Work was commenced July 26, and was completed September 4, 1913. Eighteen creosoted piles were n^ed in the construction of this wharf to nullify the action of the teredo. The amount expended was $3,000. COLUMBIA RIVER. The portion of the Columbia river lying between Windermere lake and the town of Golden, on the main line of the Canadian Pacific railway, a distance of 100 miles, is navigable for light draft steamers from April until November. The snag boat Mustered is engaged on this part of the river doing work necessary to remove obstruc- tions and to provide help for navigation. Her work is of a varied nature and consists principally of keeping the banks clear of sweepers, removing snags from the channel, repairing old and building new wing-dams and removing bars with a Stanley scraper with which she is equipped. She started work for the season of 1913 on April 1st, and worked until October 15th, when she was tied up at Athalmer for the winter. Her season's work was as described above, and in addition, her crew drove the piling for the new wharfs at Inverness and Windermere, built new wharves at McMurdo and built slips to wharves at Athalmer and Walmer as reported on else- where. The total cost of the season's operations exclusive of wharf work, was $6,173.36. 326 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 At the point where the Columbia river empties into the Upper Arrow lake, near Arrowhead, large shoals and sandbars have been formed and on these bars are lodged logs ond roots of trees carried down by the river. Logs, etc., which pass this place float down the lake until caught in the shallow water at the upper end of the narrows or outlet and there lodge. These snags form a danger to navigation and in accordance with instructions, they were removed during the fall of 1913. The work began on October 1st, and was prosecuted at intervals as weather permitted during the winter, until all obstruc- tions were removed. The dam built in 1907-08, to protect the city of Bevelstoke from the encroach- ments of the Columbia river, required to be raised at the inner end, where unusual high water poured over it and caused serious trouble along the bank below. The expenditure of the sum of $1,000 was authorized for the raising of this dam. Work commenced on May 24 and completed on June 16, 1913. Dredging. The portion of the Columbia river which connects the Upper and Lower Arrow lakes is known as the Narrows, and is about 20 miles in length. During the past year 1913-14, the departmental dredges Ndkusp and Sheldrake have both bean employed during a portion of the season in dredging the various bars and shallows to provide year round navigation in the narrows. COQUITLAM. Coquitlam is the new western freight terminus of the Canadian Pacific railway. The present population of 1,200 should increase materially as development work is carried on. The Pitt river runs through the municipality to the Fraser river, and water transportation is via these rivers to the sea. On January 21, authority was given to perform certain dredging in front of the Coquitlam Shipbuilding Company's plant. An agreement was entered into with the Pacific Dredging Company to dredge 11,000 cubic yards of clay and boulders at 23 cents per yard, place measurement. Work was started by the dredge Beaver No. 2 on January 23 and suspended on March 5, during which time 6,560 cubic yards of blue clay and hardpan were removed. Owing to the position of the work it was necessary to overcast some 4.032 cubic yards of the above amount, which was later removed and paid for at the rate of 154 cents per yard. The total cost of dredging was $2,127.04, exclusive of inspection. CRAWFORD BAY. Crawford Bay is a lumbering, farming and fruit-growing settlement at the head of Crawford bay, an arm of Kootenay lake. The holdings are mostly small ones of from 5 to 20 acres, and the population is about 200. In 1913-14, a vote was passed and authority granted for the expenditure of $1,500 on improvements to the wharf. The work was begun on October 10 and completed on November 11, 1913. The wharf is a rock-filled crib and the work done consisted in widening it from 20 feet to a width of 30 feet, and in lengthening it from 180 to 220 feet. The total cost of the work was $1,441.75. OROl'TON. This work consisted of the construction of a wharf 40 by 59 feet, with an approach 14 by 533 feet, a freight shed 14 by 24 feet, and float 30 by 14 feet. Eighteen creosoted iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENOINEER 327 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 piles used in the construction were delivered on the site on August 1, 1913, but con- struction was not commenced until November 24, and was completed December 31, 1913. Amount expended was $3,517.20. Early in March, it was found that the float had been damaged and some repairs were necessary. These repairs were commenced on March 16 and completed on March 20, 1914. The amount expended was $342, making a total expenditure of $3,859.20. DBASE RIVER. Dease river, Comox-Atlin county, rises immediately over the height of land dividing the Pacific water shed from that of the Arctic Ocean in Northern British Columbia. It flows generally northeast and empties into Liard river. This stream is used by a large number of traders and trappers for transporting supplies into the wilderness of the north. Obstacles to navigation in the shape of snags and fallen trees had rendered navigation very difficult and dangerous in this stream. No attempt was made to clear the whole river, but a great deal of the difficulty was removed during the season, the work being done by day labour. This greatly improved navigation, although a larger sum should be provided to complete the work in order to render the stream absolutely safe. The sum expended on the work was $2,277.65. DE COURCEY ISLAND. This work consisted of dredging a small channel about 75 feet long, 12 feet wide and 4 feet deep at low water to allow the passage of launches and small boats at all stages of the tide, which necessitated the removal of about 250 cubic yards of rock. The work was commenced on September 11th and was completed October 14th, 1913. Owing to a considerable increase in traffic in the neighbourhood, it will be necessary to expend a further sum of money on deepening and widening the channel. The amount expended was $614.50. DEEP COVE. The work of .construction of a wharf was commenced on July 14th, 1913, and was completed August 8th. The wharf is 55 by 38 feet, with an approach 12 by 304 feet and a small float and gangway was attached for the use of boats to land. A freight shed 12 by 28 feet was also constructed to accommodate material being stored temporarily on the wharf. In this wharf, 24 creosoted piles were built in at regular intervals so that in the event of the teredos having a detrimental effect on the remainder of the piles the wharf will be self supported. The amount expended on same was $2,183.43. EAST ARROW PARK. East Arrow Park is a farming and fruit growing settlement on the east side of the Columbia River narrows, between Upper and Lower Arrow lakes, and has a popula- tion of about 125. A uthority was granted, in the year 1913-14, for the construction of a wharf to cost $6,500. Work was begun on January 1, 1914, and was completed on February 28, 1914. The structure is a floating wharf, 40 by 80 feet, held in position by pile dolphins. The approach is also floating, and is 16 feet wide by 208 feet long, held in place by a 328 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 pile on each side of each section. The sections are 16 feet long and are held together with chains. A freight shed, 12 feet by 16 feet, is on the wharf. The total cost of the work was $5,419.72. FRASER RIVER. The following works on the Fraser river, New Westminster district, were paid for out of the general appropriation for the lower Fraser improvements : — The departmental pile driving plant was used to build 600 lineal feet of protection work for the river bank opposite the town of Ladner. The work consists of a single row of piles driven 5 feet centre to centre, backed by brush and rock, and was performed between June 4 and August 8. Cost, $4,341.23. Between August 8 and October 18, sundry small repair jobs and some piles were driven at different points on the lower river. This work was done at intervals during the progress of the work done at Canoe pass by the same crew, the latter work being performed under a separate appropriation. Cost, $414.25. From October 21 to December 10, the plant was engaged in carrying on repairs and strengthening Nos. 1 and 2 wing dams, Woodward's slough, by adding brush and rock to the existing structures. Cost, $3,933. On December 11, the plant was moved up the river to Annieville bar, two miles below New Westminster. With the exception of eight days spent in driving line piles for various dredge cuts (cost $1,015), the pile driver and crew were engaged at this point to the 31st of March in repairing and strengthening the outer ends of wing dams Nos. 1, 2 and 3. These wing dams on the Fraser serve to contract the river, and thus deepen the water in the ship channel. This work cost $5,653. Training Piers. A contract was let to the Sinclair Construction Company in 1911 to build the first unit, 6,900 feet, of the Fraser river training pier, running in a westerly direction from Steveston across the sandheads. This firm had completed some 55 per cent of the contract when they assigned to the Westminster Trust Company in March, 1913, and made necessary the calling of tenders for the completion of their contract. On August 2, an Order in Council was passed awarding this contract to Broley & Martin, of New Westminster, at unit prices aggregating $83,500. Work was started by this firm on August 27 and continued, with one interruption due to unfavourable weather, to the end of the fiscal year. Some work remains to be done, but this should be completed by the end of April. The completed unit consists of 3,100 lineal feet of single bulk-heading and 3,800 lineal feet of double bulk-heading, with brush mattressing and the necessary over-dressing and filling of quarried rock. Wharves. This appropriation is for the construction of new wharves and repairs to existing wharves on the lower sixty miles of the Fraser river. During the year the depart- mental pile driving plant was used to repair the following wharves, at the costs opposite : — Langley wharf $141 19 Chilliwack wharf 223 15 Sumas wharf 47 25 Total repairs $411 25 REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 329 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 Removal of Snags. Early in the year, it was decided necessary to build a new boat for this service, using the machinery and equipment of the old Samson. As the work of snagging, etc., could not be discontinued, an agreement was entered into with the Royal City Navigation Company for the use of the steamer Paystreah at a rental of $1,200 per month. This boat was put on the work on January 12, and was still in service on March 31. Three hundred and thirty-six snags were removed from the river during the year. During the year, 24J days' work was done by the snag boat placing buoys mark- ing the channel over the sandheads for which service $1,592.50 was charged to the Department of Marine and Fisheries, being at the rate of $65 per day. Sandheads. The work done on the sandheads consisted in assisting the natural tendency of the river to cut a new and straight channel through an extensive bar which had formed across the mouth of the river. This new channel is approximately parallel to the jetty being built across the sandheads and is superior, from a navigable standpoint, to the old channel which is being abandoned. Earlier in the year, some dredging was done on the old channel to keep it open until the channel had been made navigable. Owing to the position and nature of the work at the sandheads and the con- stant scouring and filling action of the river waters, storms and tides, it is impos- sible to define the exact bounds of the dredged areas, except that portion of the work being performed by contract and hereafter described. During the year, a total of 1,065,032 cubic yards of sand and clay were removed by the three dredges operating. The following tables showing the performance of the departmental sea-going, scraper-dredge Fruhling, and the departmental suction dredge King Edward, serve to show the work done at this point by each.

King Edward operates with day shift only. On February 26, a contract was awarded to the Navigation Dredging Company of Vancouver, B.C. to remove some 300,000 cubic yards of sand from the bed of the new channel constituting a cut 8,000 feet long and 200 feet wide; dredging to be carried to 15 feet below L. :•• . S. T. This material to be paid for at the rate of 23 J cents per cubic yard, scow measurement. The dipper dredge P. D. G. No. If was started on the work on January 3, but owing to its exposed position and the unfavourable winter weather, operations were discontinued almost immediately and not started again until March 26. The total number of yards removed to the 31st of March was 1,022, and the total cost, including inspection was $488.27. This work is also designed to assist the natural tendency of the river to deepen the new channel over the sandheads. Much of this scouring action of the river has, and is, taking place, the original length of cut, 8,000 feet, has already been reduced to 3,750 feet from this cause. The total cost of dredging operations at the Sandheads was $81,358.10. GABRIOLA ISLAND. This work consisted of the construction of an approach 10 by 315 feet and a float 30 by 20 feet at the outer end to be used principally for small launches. The work was commenced on October 1, 1913, and was completed October 16. The amount expended was $1,996.05. GOOSE BAY. At Goose bay, Observatory inlet, it was found necessary to construct a freight shed to protect goods landed on the Department's wharf. The building is 16 by 16 feet, shingled and painted according to standard and provides protection to a large amount of freight landed here. The work was built by day labour for the total expend- iture of $458.52. GORGE HARBOUR. Gorge harbour, Comox-Atlin district, is a small sheltered arm of the sea on the southerly coast of Cortes island, some 110 miles northwest of the city of Vancouver. Extensive settlement of the land in this vicinity made necessary the provision of some landing for the regular steamers plying along the coast and for the small boats of the settlers. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 331 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 A small float 40 feet by 45 feet with the necessary storehouse and anchorage was built, by day labour, at a cost of $1,059.07. Work was started on November 3 and completed on December 4. GOWER POINT. Gower point, Comox-Atlin district, marks the westerly entrance to Howe sound from the Straits of Georgia. A small settlement of farmers has sprung up in the immediate vicinity, and daily steamers from Vancouver make this point a place of call. On October 1, work was started on the construction of a small float to serve as. a landing for passengers and freight. Actual construction was completed on October 28, but it was considered advisable to delay the towing of it into position until a more favourable time of the year. This has not yet been done. The work, consisting of a float 34 feet by 60 feet with a floating approach 316 feet long and 6 feet wide, was performed by day labour at a cost of $1,837.09. graham's landing. Columbia River. At Graham's Landing, where the steamboats cross from the deep water channel, on the west bank, to the deep water channel along the east bank, there was no regularly defined channel. On March 25th, 1914, the departmental dredge Sheldrake began operations to open a clearly defined channel at this point, and was still work- ing on March 31st. During this time, a channel 450 feet long by 75 feet wide, with a minimum depth of 9 feet at low water, was excavated. The material moved was chiefly sand, and amounted to 4,000 cubic yards, at a cost of $503.82. granthajis landing. Granthams, Comox-Atlin district, is one of the most important summer and all- the-year resorts of the Howe Sound district. It is situated on the west shore of the Howe sound, some 25 miles from the city of Vancouver. Two steamship lines run daily between this point and the city, and considerable traffic passes over the wharf. Authority was granted to construct a wharf at Granthams, and an agreement was entered into with James McDonald & Company to perform the work at unit prices of $23 per pile and $30 per M. for timber, both in place. Work was started on August 27th and completed on September 12th. The wharf is of pile bent and stringer construction, and consists of a pierhead 40 feet by 60 feet, with an approach 285 feet long and 14 feet wide. A float, 14 feet by 34 feet, with the necessary gangway, etc., was built alongside the wharf to afford a landing at all stages of the tide for the numerous motor boats of the vicinity. This work cost $4,276.75. GREY CREEK. Grey Creek is a farming and fruit growing settlement on Crawford bay, an arm of Kootenay lake. It is being rapidly settled up, but at present has a population of only about 100. Authority was granted, during the year 1913-14, for the construction of a wharf, to cost $5,500; and work was begun on February 20th, and completed on March 11th, 1914. The wharf is a floating structure 39 feet by 80 feet, held in place by pile dolphins. The approach is a floating one, 16 feet wide by 165 feet long, held in place by a pile on each side of each section. The sections are each 16 feet long, and are connected by chains. There is a freight shed, 12 feet by 16 feet, on the wharf. The total cost of the work was $5,462.57. 332 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 HALLETTS. Halletts (now known as Longbeach) is a farming and fruit-growing settlement on the north side of the west arm of Kootenay lake, and has a population of about 100. This is one of the oldest settlements in the district and a considerable amount of farm produce and fruit is shipped out. Authority was granted, during the year 1913-14, for the construction of a wharf to cost $6,500. Work was begun on January 29 and completed on February 19, 1914- The wharf is a floating structure, 40 feet by 80 feet, held in place by pile dolphins. The approach is a floating one, 16 feet wide and 224 long, held in place by a pile on each side of each section. The sections are 16 feet in length. There is a freight shed, 12 feet by 16 feet, on the wharf. The total cost of the work was $5,551.18. HATZIC. Hatzic is a village on the Fraser river, some 34 miles above New Westminster, and on the main line of the Canadian Pacific railway. Quantities of small fruits, vegetables and general farm produce are shipped out to New Westminster and other river points. At the beginning of the fiscal year, the departmental dredge King Edward was engaged in dredging an approach to the Government wharf, and from April 1 to April 8 removed 27,525 out of a total of 49,175 cubic yards of silt and sand, which the freshets on the Fraser had deposited. The completed cut has a length of 750 feet, an average width of 150 feet, and was dredged to 8 feet below low water level. Quantities were determined by surveys made before and after the work. The cost of this work, based on the performance of the dredge throughout the year, was $3,118.58. HOLBERG. This work consisted of the construction of a wharf 40 by 60 feet, and an approach 14 by 2,282 feet, and the construction of a small float 20 by 57 feet, gangway to the float 30 by 4 feet, and shed 16 by 14 feet. The above work was commenced on March 8, 1913, and was completed on July 31. The amount expended was $11,252.35. HOLLYBUKN. Hollyburn, Vancouver district, is the local name of a portion of the municipality of West Vancouver, situated on the north shore of Burrard inlet. A ferry is main- tained between the Government wharf at that point and Vancouver city. Authority was granted to expend $2,000 in repairing the existing wharf and to provide suitable landing for small boats. This work was put in hand on August 18. The outer portion of the wharf was removed and the remainder of the wharf repaired and strengthened with new timbers and creosoted piles. A landing stage 15 feet by 24 feet with a gangway leading to a float 53 feet long and 25 feet wide was built, and the latter is to be fixed in position with the necessary piles. Work was completed on September 20. Some dredging alongside the float remains to be done. HOWE SOUND. Authority was given to proceed by day labor with improvement work on the Squamish river, some four miles above the town of Squamish, formerly called New- port, Comox-Atlin district. This work consisted in the general improvement of the river from this point towards the mouth. Work was started on December 27 and completed March 20, iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 333 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 during which time 317 snags were blasted and removed from the river bed. Drift- wood and other obstructions were removed or floated down stream to the mouth of the river. The total expenditure was $3,266.00. INVERMERE. Invermere is a village situated on Windermere lake, at the head of the Colum- bia river, 100 miles by water from Golden. It is the centre of a population of about 400, and is the headquarters of a large farming and fruit raising district. An extensive irrigation system has been con- structed on the lands in the vicinity, and at the village have been established a Dominion experimental agricultural farm and a provincial demonstration orchard. Windermere lake is nine miles in length and the Columbia river, from the foot of the lake to Golden, on the main line of the C.P.Ry., about 90 miles in length, is at present the main artery of traffic for the whole valley. During the last fiscal year, authority was granted for the construction of a wharf at this place, to cost $2,000. A small private wharf, built by the owners of the adjoining land, was taken over by the Department, in order to obtain the most suitable site, and the new wharf was built as an addition to this. The completed wharf is a pile structure with timber deck, 32 feet by 60 feet; 8 foot slip in centre, and a freight shed 12 feet by 16 feet. The piling was driven by the crew of the departmental snagboat Muskrat. Work was begun on September 10 and completed on October 31, 1913. The total cost of the work was $2,003.88. KASLO. The city of Kaslo is the centre of one of the most important silver-lead mining districts in British Columbia. It has a population of about 600, and is the distri- buting centre and headquarters for a number of mining camps of the Slocan dis- trict. Communication with the mines was formerly maintained by the Kaslo and Slocan Railway Company, a subsidiary company of the Great Northern railway, which operated narrow gauge trains to Sandon. A few years ago, a large amount of damage was done to the road and on account of the depression of the mining industry at that time, operations were suspended. This condition continued until 1912, when a syndicate composed of local business and mining men purchased the road and rolling stock with the intention of resuming operations, as proper trans- portation was all that was required to put mining in the district on a prosperous basis. Shortly after the purchase of the road by the syndicate, negotiations were entered into with the Government of British Columbia and the Canadian Pacific Rail- way Company, with the result that the Government granted a bonus to the railway company which took over the road and standardized it, putting it in proper condition to carry the traffic. This work is now completed, with the exception of a few miles of ballasting. The former lake terminus of the road was at a small timber and rock crib wharf at Kaslo, which was in a very bad state of repair and totally unsuited for the business to be done over it. Authority was granted, in 1913-14, for the construction of a pile and timber wharf to cost $18,000, and a contract was let to Wm. English, of Kaslo, for the work on December 26, 1913, for the sum of $13,600. Work was started on February 1, 1914. The wharf will be a pile timber and trestle, 798 feet long and 32 feet wide, on a grade of 3-5 per cent, and will be paralleled by a track of the C.P.Ry. to enable trains to go alongside wharf. The work is still in progress. 334 DEPARTilEXT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 Dredging. On September 23, 1913, the departmental dredge Bittern began operations and completed work on October 9, 1913. A portion of the crib, 180 feet by 15 feet, was removed. The material, amounting to 2,000 yards was cast over into deep water. Ths total expenditure at this point was $984.83. KOOTENAY BAY. Kootenay Bay is a small fruit-growing settlement on the east side of Kootenay lake. The present population is very small, but as there is a large amount of excellent land tributary to the settlement, a rapid increase in population and land under cultivation is to be lookd for. Authority was granted, during the year 1913-14, for the construction of a wharf to cost $7,500, but it was not considered advisable to expend this full amount. Work was begun on March 12 and completed on March 20, 1914. The wharf is a float, 30 feet by 40 feet, with an approach apron 12 feet by 20 feet. It is connected to the shore by two f-inch wire cables on winches, for moving it up and down the beach as the water rises or falls. The total cost of the work was $2,333.31. KOOTENAY LANDING. Kootenay Lake. Kootenay Landing, situated at the south end of Kootenay lake, is the western terminus of the Crow's nest branch of the Canadian Pacific railway. Daily steamers ply between this port, Nelson and other lake points. It is the transfer point for all through freight and passengers over the Crow's nest branch. On account of wharves and transfer slips being immediately at the mouth of the Kootenay river, a large amount of silt is deposited in the channel annually, and dredging is necessary to keep navigation open. On October 10, 1913, the departmental dredge Bittern began operations and was employed till October 29, 1913, whence she was removed to Cedar creek. Work was resumed at Kootenay Landing on December 17, 1913, and. continued till March 31, 1914. During this period, ten cuts were made, of a total length of 1,830 feet each, giving a channel 40 feet wide, with a minimum depth of 12 feet at low water. No 1 cut at the " Swing Dolphin," radius 200 feet; Nos. 2, 3 and 4, in the river, off the transfer slip, total length 660 feet; Nos. 5, 6 and 7, in the mouth of the channel, opposite the " Light Dolphin," total lengths 750 feet ; No. 9 inshore, near the wharf, length 50 feet ; No. 10, in the channel, off transfer slip, length 90 feet. In all 24,435 cubic yards of material were moved, mostly sand and silt, at a cost of 33-56 per cubic yard. The total cost of this work was $S,979.70. LADNER. Ladner is a town of 1,000 inhabitants on the south bank of the Fraser river, 13 miles below New Westminster. A new ferry service recently inaugurated to Woodward's slough made necessary some dredging in the Ladner ferry slip. Advantage was taken of the time the departmental dredge King Edward could not work on the sandhead^. owing to storms, to perform this work. Eight thousand one hundred cubic yards of silt were removed from a cut 180 feet long and 20 feet wide; the cut provides 10 feet at L.W.S.T. The work was performed on the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th of October, and cost $917.73. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 335 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 LASQUETTI ISLAND. Lnsquetti island, Comox-Atlin district, is situated in the Straits of Georgia, about 90 miles northwest of the city of Vancouver. A public wharf affords a means for the settlers to ship cattle and hay to different markets on the coast. Sonic slight repair work, consisting of a replanking of the inclined slip, was carried out at a cost of $21.85. LILLOOET RIVER. Authority having been granted and $6,000 appropriated for improving the South Lillooet river, New Westminster district, an agreement was entered into with J. W. Pike & Company of New Westminster to provide a dredge and perform the necessary work at a rate of $5 per working hour. Work was commenced on October 24 and finished on March 28. The completed work, consisting of a dredged cut along the bed of the river some 5,700 feet long and 40 feet wide, provides a depth of 4 feet at low water level of the river. In addition to this, a shoal at the junction of the south and north branches of the river was dredged through to carry off the flood water of the latter stream. The total cost of the work, including inspection, was $4,142.18. LITTLE RIVER. Dredging. On the 30th September, work was commenced opening a cut below the Indian village on the right bank of the Little river, and immediately above its discharge into Little Shuswap lake. This work, which consisted of a cut 900 feet in length, 90 feet in width, with an average face of 3 feet, was required to obtain a depth of 5 feet at low water stage. It was completed on the 10th November, and involved the removal and overcasting, including double handling, of 10,191 cubic yards of gravel, which, at 13 cents per cubic yard, amounted to $1,286.48. On the 4th December, dredging was commenced at the head of a cut which was completed in February. This cut is 2,400 feet in length, 80 feet in width, and the face throughout the whole length averaged 3 feet, the place measurement being 21,136 cubic yards, the material gravel, and cost, at 13 cents per cubic yard, $2,747.68. The quantity of dump removed during March was 9,998 cubic yards, which, at 6i cents per cubic yard, amounted to $649.87. On April 1, 1913, the dredge Pelican commenced work at a cut which had been commenced during the past season, on the Little River, near Squilax. This work was continuous from the 1st of April until the 10th May. Cuts, aggre- gating 990 feet in length, 70 feet in width and having an average face of 3 feet, were dredged, and 7,504 cubic yards of gravel removed and overcast, involving the actual handling of 15.000 yards, of material, the cost of which, at 13 cents per cubic yard, amounted to $1,950. LOCKPORT. Lockport, Moresby island. Queen Charlotte islands, is the landing place for a prospecting mining district and is situated on the east coast of Moresby island. A pile bent wharf 40 by 60 feet was constructed here. It has a pile approach 145 feet long and was completed under contract by Mr. W. G. Gillett of Vancouver for the sum of $3,947.75. This wharf will serve a large number of prospectors and settlers who are going into this part of the district. 336 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 MCMURDO. McMurdo is at the river landing for the McMurdo district of the Columbia valley, 17 miles south of Golden. The district is a farming and stock-raising one, with a population of about 300. Authority was granted, during the year 1913-14, for the construction of a wharf to cost $750. The work was begun on September 23 and completed on November 28, 1913, and was done by the crew of the department snagboat Muslcrat. It is a pile and timber structure, 24 feet long by 18 feet, wi'th a slip 6 feet by 24 feet. The total cost of the work was $611.43. METCHOSIN.

Work was commenced and completed in January, 1914. Amount expended was $560. MINNEKAHDA. v Minnekahda, New Westminster district, is situated on the bank of the Pitt river, eight miles above its junction with the Fraser, and fourteen miles above New West- minster. It is the centre of a good farming community, hay and other produce being shipped to different points on the lower mainland. Authority being granted, a small wharf 60 feet by 60 feet with a 14-foot approach 175 feet long was built by day labour. Work was started on August 25 and completed on October 4, at a cost of $2,567.19. MISSION. Mission is a town on the Fraser river, 31 miles north of New Westminster and on the main line of the Canadian Pacific railway. The town is the centre of a prosperous farming community, and considerable fruit and farm produce is shipped to various river points. A ferry operates from the Mission side of the river to Riverside wharf on the opposite shore. Authority was given on October 8 to dredge alongside the Government wharf at Eiverside. The departmental dredge King Edward, on the 4th, 5th and 6th of Nov- ember, dredged 4,790 cubic yards of sand and silt from a cut 500 feet long, 45 feet wide and having a depth of 8 feet at L.W.S.T. Total cost of dredging, based on cost of dredging operations for King Edward throughout the year, was $542.71. NADOO RIVER. Nadoo River, Massett inlet, Graham island, Queen Charlotte islands, is a small settlement where a great many settlers receive supplies and ship produce, a landing float 30 by 40 feet was therefore constructed to accommodate the number of small boats which land there. The work was done under agreement with Mr. W. G. Gillett, of Vancouver, for the sum of $1,000. This float serves a large number of settlers in the interior. Needles is a farming and fruit-growing settlement on the west side of the lower Arrow lake, and is also the landing for the Whatshan valley. The population of the district ia about 200. Authority was granted, during the year 1913-14, for the construction of a whari to cost $7,500, and steps were taken to secure the necessary land to form the approach iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 337 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 to the wharf, but owing to difficulty in securing title to this land, the construction of the wharf has been temporarily delayed. The necessary material is all on the ground and the work will be proceeded with as soon as title is secured. NELSON. Dredging. Nelson is a city of approximately 7,000 population, situated on the west arm of the Kootenay lake. There are 250 launches and motor boats on the lake, about 175 of which are moored in Nelson harbour. The departmental dredge Bittern began operations on April 28, and continued till rising water forced her to close down on June 9, 1913. Work was resumed on July 26 and discontinued September 16, 1913. During this period, a channel 750 feet long, with a width of from 40 to 70 feet, and a minimum depth at low water of 5 feet, was dredged at the foot of Josephine street. A channel 500 feet long, by from 50 feet to 100 feet wide, with a minimum depth of 5 feet at low water, was dredged from the foot of Ward street to the foot of Josephine street. The material excavated was principally gravel and clay, and amounted to 21,735 cubic yards, handled by dump scow, at a cost of $2,831.29. Wharf — Dredging. On April 8, 1914, the departmental dredge Bittern began operations at Nelson city wharf with the object of improving the berthing accommodations during the low water period. Work was continued till April 24, 1913, during which time two cuts were made, one on the east and the other on the west side of the wharf. The combined length of these cuts is 460 feet, with a width of 60 feet and a minimum depth of 8 feet at low water. The material moved, principally sand and silt, was cast over into a chute, leading under the wharf, and amounted to 2,518 cubic yards. The total cost of this work was $878.67. NELSON ROAD. Nelson Road, New Westminster district, is situated on Lulu island, some five miles south of New Westminster, and serves as an outlet to the Fraser for a community of farmers in the district.

The wharf consists of a pierhead 50 feet by 60 feet and an approach 60 feet by 14 feet with the necessary shed and slip. Cost, $1,788.57. NEW MASSETT. The Department having built a wharf at New Massett, Graham island, Queen Charlotte islands, and omitted a freight shed, it was found that, owing to the rapid increase in traffic, a freight shed was necessary, and a building 24 by 24 feet was built. This was done under an agreement with Mr. W. G. Gillett, of Vancouver, who com- pleted the work for the amount of the estimate or $700. This shed was shingled and painted in accordance with the standard adopted. NEW WESTMINSTER. On May 20, the departmental dredge King Edward was ordered to New West- minster to perform some urgent work in connection with the laying of the city water pipe line to Lulu island. A trench across the bottom of the north arm of the Fraser river was dredged to receive it. and actual work was started on the 21st of 19— iy— 22 338 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 May and completed on the 26th. The location of the work and material encoun- tered proved difficult for the dredge, but the work was satisfactorily carried out, 2,565 cubic yards of various materials being removed. The cost to the department for this work was $290.61, being at the rate of 11-33 cents per yard. This dredging was done for the city of New Westminster, who were to pay for the dredge at the rate of $150 per day. The account, which amounts to $1,125, was rendered in the city, but has not been paid. XICOMEKL RIVER. The Nieomekl is a small, meandering river having its source in the municipality of Langley, New Westminster district, and runs in a southwesterly direction through the municipality of Surrey to Boundary bay near the international boundary. Its chief importance lies in the fact that it drains a very fertile area of farm lands and the control of its flood waters is an important matter. Authority being granted to expend $1,200 on the improvement of the river, a force of men was put on the work and some sixteen log jams were removed from the bed of the river and the debris was disposed in piles on the banks. Work was started on August 19 and completed on October 4, at a cost of $1,018.41. NICOJIEX. Some 40 miles northeast of the city of New Westminster the Eraser river, flowing through a low lying portion of the valley, has formed a number of diversions, the most important, with subsidiary channels, being known as Nicomen slough, New Westminster district. These waters flow through very rich farming lands, which are to a considerable extent protected by dykes. The important work being carried on from time to time has for its object the protecting of these lands and dykes during high water periods of the Fraser waters. Six dams have been built by the department in former years to divert the flood waters into desired channels. During the year, an expenditure of $1,155.92 was made in repairing dam9 Nos. 2, 3 and 4; the cost of each of these" works being $322.60, $156.82 and $676.50 respec- tively. NOOTKA ISLAND. Tenders have been called for and the contract awarded to Mr. E. H. Wood, of Port Alberni, at $4^500. Work will not, however, be commenced until after the present fiscal year. OKANAGAN RIVER. Okanagan river, of length about six miles, connects Upper and Lower Okanagan lakes. The object of the protection work has been to prevent the erosion of banks and to confine the channel within such bounds as would facilitate navigation. The Heron, employed on this service, is a combination dredge, derrick, scow, and pile-driving outfit, being used as necessity arises for each of these purposes. Work commenced on the 9th April to complete the breakwater at Lower Okanagan lake which was started in the last season. This structure consists of two rows of piles driven at 8 feet centres, having 8 by 10-inch uprights bolted to the main piles, to which are spiked two rows of 6 by 8-inch stringers to form a backing for the 3 by 12-inch sheeting. Outer piles are driven at 8-foot centres and bolted through to the main piles. This work, costing $3,384, was completed on July 15. iv REl'ORT OF THE CHIEF ENOINEEH 339 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 From July 16 to August 2, bank protection work, consisting of piles driven along the face of the river bank at 8-foot centres and back-filled with brushwood and earth, was performed at two locations on the river. The cost of this work amounted to $832, making a total of $4,216 expended on this service. Dredging. The object of the dredging has been to deepen the channel and to distribute the grade uniformly over the entire length of the river, in an endeavour to enable small power boats to pass between the Upper and Lower Okanagan lakes. In addition to actual dredging the Heron has been employed in clearing the banks of overhanging trees, removing snags, from the channel, and in bank protection work, the result being that there is now a power boat making daily trips between the Okan- agan lakes, the water being at a low stage. From 11th to 14th April the Heron was employed in dredging, and from 15th to 18th hauling back dredged material with a Stanley scraper. Survey. Work was commenced on March 23 on the Okanagan river by Mr. W. F. Richard- son, B.C.L.S., with a small party. The river was traversed throughout its entire length and a careful investigation was made at the proposed lock-site above Beaver creek. Cross-sections were made in several places throughout the course, where " cut-offs " might be made. The high and low water discharges were investigated and recorded, and the fall of the river was determined. A detail survey and cross-section were made at the Kettle Valley Railway Company's bridge, and the elevations of various points on the north shore of Lower Okanagan lake were determined. Surveys were made at the various points along Okanagan lake, where there are existing wharfs, to determine what effect the alteration to the level of the lake would have upon these structures. This work was completed on July 26, and a report in regard to this work was submitted under date of January 23, 19,14. OKANAGAN MISSION. This work was commenced on the 5th December. The extension consists of a pile-bent structure 16 feet by 160 feet on the south side of a wharf built previously by the Provincial Government of British Columbia. A shelter shed 16 by 20 feet was also erected. Work was completed on January 19, 1914, at a cost of $2,073.12. PENDER HARBOUR. Pender harbour, New Westminster district, is a small inlet on the mainland coast, forming a natural harbour on which two settlements have sprung up, one on either side of the harbour. Authority was granted to construct a wharf in the harbour costing $4,000. It was decided, however, that the requirements of the district would be more adequately met by building suitable floats, one at each of the settlements. The construction of the two floats was proceeded with on September 13 by day labour and was completed on September 30 at a total cost of $3,968.52. The Francis island float consists of a timber deck float 50 feet by 60 feet with a floating approach 130 feet long and 8 feet wide. The mainland float, 50 feet by 60 feet, is connected with the shore by a pile bout and stringer approach ITS feet long and 10 feet wide. Suitable buildings and necessary anchorage is provided for each float. 19— iv— 22J 340 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 PENTICTON. Dredging. The work required at this wharf consisted of a cut 350 feet in length and 70 feet in width, with a face averaging 2A feet vertical, required to give a depth of 8 feet at low water. The amount of material moved by overcasting, and including double handling, was 2,760 cubic yards, principally sand, and the cost including team hire to spread the dump, amounted to $1,269.60. PITT RIVER. The dredging being performed at the junction of the Pitt arid Fraser rivers has for its object the providing of a navigable channel 300 feet wide and 25 feet deep through a bar which has formed at that point. The total length of cut, when com- pleted, will be 6,000 feet, being from grade to grade at each end. On August 2, an Order in Council was passed awarding to the Pacific Dredging Company of Vancouver, B.C., a contract to remove S79,000 cubic yards, place measure- ment, of class "B " material at 18 cents per cubic yard. Work was started on November 11 and is being continued to date. To March 31, one-half, or 3,000 feet of the cut had been completed to grade, 25 feet below L. .S.T. ; 477,590 cubic yards of sand being removed and pumped to an adjacent island. The hydraulic dredge Robson is doing the work. Total cost of dredging for the fiscal year was $S6,551.20. POINT COWAN. Point Cowan, or Cowan's Cove, Comox-Atlin district, is a small sheltered bight on the southwesterly point of Bowen island, in the Howe Sound. A community of settlers and summer residents has made necessary a boat service between this point and Vancouver city, some 12 miles away. Authority was given to construct a wharf, and an agreement was entered into with James McDonald & Company to construct a pile bent and stringer wharf at unit prices of $23 per pile and $30 per M. for timber, both in place. Thirty-four teredo- proof piles were incorporated in the work. Construction was started on July 23 and completed on August 19 at a cost of $3,986.

In order to accommodate a large number of small gasoline boats calling at Port Essington, Skeena river, it was necessary to build a landing float 30 by 40 feet. The estimated cost was $1,000, and an agreement was entered into with Mr. W. G. Gillett, of Vancouver, whereby the structure was completed for the amount of the estimate. PORT HANEY. Haney, New Westminster district, is a small town situated on the main line of the Canadian Pacific railway and on the Fraser river, some 18 miles up river from the city of New Westminster. It is in a farming community, and small fruits and general produce are shipped to different points on the lower mainland. Repairs and additions to the Government wharf were carried out by day labour. and the departmental pile driver, at a cost of $1,425.60. Minor repairs were made. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF lilXUlNMtlli 341 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 and the addition, consisting of an inclined nlip 170 feet and 14 feet wide, was constructed. Work was performed between October 4th and 28th. PRINCE RUPERT. A ship having come into collision with the Quarantine wharf at Prince Rupert and injuring it, it was found necessary to repair the approach. At first it was con- sidered that several long creosoted piles were broken and the cost of repairs were estimated at $1,800. This was afterwards found to be wrong as the piles were intact and the work was in consequence completed under the day labour system for the sum of $759.84. QUATSINO. The work consisted of replacing 54 piles, using about 2,000 feet of lumber, and the construction of a small shed 12 by 24 feet. Work was commenced June 10 and was completed September 25, 1913. The amount expended was $2,327.90. QUEENSTON. Queenston, Massett inlet, Graham island, Queen Charlotte islands, is a landing point for supplies for a large number of prospectors, lumbermen and settlers in the interior of Graham island. There was no accommodation for landing supplies and the Department therefore built a 40 by 60 foot pile wharf with an approach 650 feet long. This work was done by contract with Air. W. G. Gillett of Vancouver. The total cost of the structure is $5,140.30. This wharf is provided with a freight shed 16 by 16 feet properly painted and shingled. REFUGE BAY. At Refuge Bay, a freight shed 16 by 16 feet, with shingled roof and painted accord- ing to standard, was built on the Department's wharf. It was urgently needed in connection with the receipt of supplies for the numerous settlers around this place, as the steamers usually land in the night and goods cannot be taken away immediately. This wharf was also provided with a complete system of sway bracing to steady it as the weather is often very rough at this point. The work was completed by day labour for $706.42. REN ATA. Renata is a farming, fruit-growing, and lumbering settlement on the west side of the Lower Arrow lake, and has a population of about 150.

Spiller river, Porcher island, is the centre of a rapidly settling district adjacent to Prince Rupert and about 35 miles therefrom. During the last fiscal year, a wharf was completed at this point and it was found that owing to the irregularity of steamer calls it was necessary to have a freight shed on the structure. A building 16 by 16 feet, with a shingled roof, was built by day labour on this wharf; the shed was painted and put in good condition for receiving any freight landed. The expenditure was $491.18. SQUAMISH. Squamish, Vancouver district, is a new town, of some importance as a terminus of the Pacific-Great Eastern railway, situated at the head of Howe sound. A daily boat to Vancouver handles considerable freight and passenger traffic to and from that city. 346 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 On August 8, an Order in Council was passed accepting the offer of the provin- cial government to transfer the existing wharf at Squamish to the federal government. On July 23, authority was granted to replank the wharf approach, and the work was proceeded with by day labour. Work was commenced on July 24 and completed on October 27, and consisted in the replanking, with 3-inch plank, of an approach 2,510 feet long and 16 feet wide, together with some bracing of the pile bents and the replacing of rotted stringers. Owing to unforeseen causes, the pierhead of the wharf was undermined later in the year and collapsed. Eeplacement being urgent and authority being granted, an agreement was entered into with James McDonald & Compnay to build a new pier- head at a cost of $4,940. The new work consists of pierhead 80 feet by 50 feet and a connecting approach thereto some 170 feet long and 16 feet wide. Creosoted bearing and brace piles were used throughout. After the completion of this work, a further expenditure of $35.80 was made to alter the inclined slip of the wharf so live stock could be satisfactorily landed. Work was commenced on February 21 and completed on March 20. Dredging. On April 18, authority was given to do certain dredging at the government wharf, and an agreement was made with the Pacific Dredging Company to do the work for a lump sum of $1,100, and 2,200 cubic yards of sand and silt, along one face and end of the wharf, were removed by the hydraulic dredge Robson oil May 29 and 30. The dredged cut, along the wharf, was 100 feet long, 50 feet wide and had a depth of 12 feet at L.W.S.T. Some material was also removed from in front of the wharf end to provide a uniform depth of 12 feet. STEVESTON. Steveston, a town at the mouth of the Fraser river, has a population of 1,000, and is the chief centre of the salmon fishing and canning industry of British Columbia. On March 28, authority was given to do certain dredging in a channel of the Fraser which fronts on ten or more canneries at Steveston, and which is used by numerous fishing craft and shipping steamers. The departmental dredge King Edward was started on this work on April 17, and completed the cut on August 23. During this period, a total of 18 days were spent by the dredge in doing other urgent dredging and laying up for repairs. The completed cut is 5,100 feet long, 150 wide and has a depth of 10 feet at L.W. S.T. A total of 239,435 cubic yards, place measurement, of sand, silt and mud were removed. The cost of this work was $27,127.98; the cost per yard 11-33 cents. STEWART. Stewart is at the head of Portland canal. The old portion of the wharf belonging to the Department having become dangerous through the action of teredos it was necessary to repile that portion of it. This work was undertaken by day labour and carried to a successful finish. Cost of the work was $1,646.75. STUART RIVER. On the 18th September, a start was made for Tacla lake, at which point we arrived on the 2nd of October at about 10 a.m. After lunch, the return trip to Fort George commenced, and we arrived there on the 24th. iv REPORT OF THE ClllEF ENGINEER 347 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 An examination was made of the Stuart, Ttachi, and Middle rivers, which, with Stuarl and Trembleujr lakes, are the connecting links between the Grand Trunk Pacific railway, at the mouth of the Stuart where it discharges into the Nechaco and Tacla lake. Surveys were made of several canyons and rapids, and other information obtained. From the 25th October to the 1st November, the time was occupied with business in connection with the different works and in making surveys at Fort George and Hudson's Bay Gardens rapids. The former are of possible wharf sites, made in anticipation of an application for a wharf, at an early date, and the latter for use in connection with improvement work outlined for next season. On the 2nd November, a start was made for Quesnel, arriving at Fort George canyon at noon, the afternoon and following day being employed in making an examination of the canyon, inspecting the work under progress and in connecting same with original survey. Continued on way to Quesnel on 4th November, and arrived there on the evening of the 5th. SUMMERLAND. Dredging.

Owing to continuous high winds and numerous interruptions from tug boats requiring the fairway to make landings, the progress made on this work was slow, but it was eventually finished on the 4th December. SYDNEY. The work consisted of temporary repairs to wharf including the driving of piles in approach on wharf proper, bracing piles in the approach and renewing floor boards. The wharf was in a very dangerous state in June and immediate repairs were neces- sary. These were commenced on June 1 and completed June 20. The final repairs were commenced on October 14 and completed October 22. Eighteen creosoted piles were used in the repairs to this wharf, to nullify the action of the teredo. Owing to the action of the teredo which is very severe on this coast, it will be necessary to carry out repairs of a similar nature to this work within the next few years. The amount expended, including cost of all repairs, was $1,604.60. SYDNEY ISLAND. Early in December, this wharf was reported to be damaged by recent storms and immediate repairs were found to be necessary. These were commenced on January 3 and completed January 19, 1914.

On authority received September 13, the dredge Pelican was moved to Tappen on the 16th September, and work was started opening a channel at Mobley's landing. This work consisted of a cut 300 feet long and 45 feet wide with an average face 348 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 of 3 feet, giving a depth of 6 feet at low water stage. The cut was completed on the 24th September and involved the removal and overcasting, including double handling, of 1,755 cubic yards of stiff clay, and at 14 cents per cubic yard cost $245.70. THETIS ISLAND. Dredging. This work consisted of the dredging of a channel between Thetis and Kuper islands 1,440 feet long. The contract for this work was placed with the Vancouver Island Construction and Development Company, Victoria, at a rate of 90 cents per cubic yard, place measurement, for an authorized quantity of 3,700 cubic yards. Work commenced on September 4, and was completed on October 7, 1913. The total amount of material excavated, consisting of rock, hardpan, clay, mud and boulders, was 3,758 cubic yards. Generally, the work carried on has given great satisfaction to the people resident in the vicinity, and the benefits derived therefrom are considerable. THOMPSON RIVER. During the months of December and January last, the steamer Cromhie, owned by the Adams River Lumber Company, was engaged in moving half-sunken trees and logs at the head and mouth of the Little river, for which the company was paid $240. On the 1st March, a party was engaged in removing rocks and other obstructions from the boat channel, South Thompson river, between Shuswap and Pritchard. This work was completed on the "1st March, and cost $796.47, making, with the amount paid for the removal of snags, a total expenditure of $1,036.47 on this service. TOFINO. The work on this wharf consisted of lengthening the existing wharf by an addition of 69 by 30 feet on the north end, and making general repairs. Work was commenced November 1 and was completed December 15, 1913. Amount expended, $2,997.55. TWO BEACON BAR. Columbia River. On April 1, 1913, the departmental dredge Nakusp was operating at Two Beacon bar, about one mile above Burton City, and continued there till rising water necessi- tated the discontinuance of operations on May 14, 1913. During this period, 14,850 cubic yards of material were moved, 11,303 cubic yards of which were overcast and 3,547 cubic yards, new cut, at a cost of $1,459.45. The cut, including previous work from October 22, 1912, till March 31, 1913, is 2,864 feet long, with a width of 75 feet and a depth at low water of 8 feet. The total material moved by dredge Ndkusp was US,s37 cubic yards, principally clay with a light deposit of fine silt on top. Total cost of the above work for the years 1912-13 and 1913-14 was $8,001.62. On January 9, 1914, the departmental dredge Sheldrake began operations on Two Beacon bar, at the upper end, about one mile and a half above Burton City, and continued till February 14, when she completed the new channel. The channel excavated is 1,470 feet long, with a width of 75 feet and a minimum depth at low water of 9 feet. The material moved was principally sand and amounted to 22,050 cubic yards, at a cost of $1,511.76. The work of the two dredges on this bar gives a crossing from the upper channel on the west side of the river to the lower channel which lies along the east bank. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 349 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 UCLUELET. This work consisted of tho construction of a wharf 40 by 80 feet with an approach 18 by 360 feet, float 20 by 20 feet and a freight shed 18 by 24 feet. Work was commenced October 1, 1913, and was completed January 13, 1914. Amount expended was $4,497.42. UNION BAY. On July 19, the SS. Leona ran into this wharf and caused a certain amount of damage. Repairing this damage was carried out by the Department, and the cost of same was made good by the owners of the steamship. In addition to these repairs, the wharf was extended in length and width making the present wharf 140 by 70 feet in place of 40 by 80 feet as formerly. There were also some additional repairs consisting of driving new piles, replacing boards, etc. The work was commenced August 1 and completed September 4, 1913. Amount authorized for extension of wharf was $2,500 and for repairs to wharf $1,000, and the total amounts were expended. UPPER FRASER RIVER. Giscombe Rapids. These rapids start about 32 miles above Fort George and are about six miles in length. They appear to have been caused by a heavy lodgement of large boulders, through which there is a fast current without any defined channel. Dunng the season of 1912, Messrs. Foley, Welsh & Stewart, contractors on the Grand Trunk Pacific rail- way, spent a considerable sum of money in opening up a channel through these rapids by blasting out the larger boulders so that their steamboats, engaged in handling their supplies, could pass through them with a fair degree of safety. On examination of these rapids, on a trip down the Fraser river in September, it was found that a fair channel has been opened except for a distance of about a mile at the lower end. To complete this work, instructions were given to get the necessary supplies and outfit on the ground. About the 1st October, a force of seven men commenced work which continued until the 16th November. There is an unexpended balance of $888.13 of the $5,000 allotted for this service; there is now a fair channel throughout the entire length of these rapids. Fort George Canyon. Authority to expend $10,000 was given on 16th September and 13th November on this work. Actual work began on the 1st of October and continued on into December. The work, consisting of removing projecting points of rocks on the right bank, near the upper end of the channel, was well under way on the 3rd of November, a force of seventeen men being employed. For several years past, money has been expended on improving this channel with- out there being, so far as could be seen, any definite object in view, other than the removal of isolated rocks with a view of opening several channels to be used, one or another, at varying stages of water. The intention is, in future, to confine all expend- iture to opening a channel along the east bank and instructions were given to that effect. The only information received in regard to the work done at Fort George, since the 3rd of November last is that the work in the canyon is completed in good shape. Hudson's Bay Gardens Rapids. It was reported that by diverting the water from the banks towards the main channel with wing dams, the necessary improvement to these rapids would be accom- 350 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 plished, but after a very careful examination and survey of these rapids, it was decided that before wing dams could be effective, it would be necessary to remove a number of large boulders, which obstruct the channel, by blasting them and the smaller ones with a grappling plant. Subsequent to this, an examination was made of the river from these rapids to Quesnel, a distance of about 110 miles, and it became so evident that to do any effective work towards opening a channel between Fort George and Quesnel, to obtain uniform conditions throughout the whole distance, a dredge of not less capacity than 600 cubic yards per diem and with sufficient power to handle heavy material was necessary, and that to expend money on a smaller plant was not advisable. If it is not deemed necessary to provide this dredge, it is recommended that the idea of any further improvement work on the Upper Fraser river be abandoned. CANOE WHARF. Contract plans and specifications for a wharf were forwarded on the 23rd June, and was advised on October 8 that the contract had been awarded to Mr. Andrew McConnell of Chase, B.C., for the sum of $5,450. > Work on this wharf was commenced on the 23rd March. The wharf, when completed, will be a pile bent structure 16 feet wide throughout and having a total length of 462 feet, the outer 350 feet of which is on a 3 per cent grade. A shelter shed 12 feet by 20 feet is provided for in the specifications. Construction was well under way on March 31, about two weeks being required to complete the work. GLENEDEN. Contract plans and specifications for this wharf were forwarded on the 7th July, but the contract was not awarded at the end of the fiscal year. PRITCHARD. Contract plans and specifications for this wharf were forwarded on the 17th July, but the contract was not awarded at the end of the fiscal year. SUMMERLAXD. Contract plans and specifications for this wharf were forwarded on the 28th July, and was advised on 28th November that the contract had been awarded to Mr. Andrew McConnell of Chase, B.C., for the sum of approximately $12,365. Work on this wharf was commenced on 12th January. The wharf is a pile-bent structure, 700 feet long and 40 feet wide throughout, commencing at a point on Beach avenue at an elevation of 5-4 feet above average high water level and running on a uniform grade of 0-8 (eight-tenths) per cent to a point 2 feet above low water level; beginning at a point 140 feet from the inside of structure and extending for 112 feet along the northerly face wharf, an incline slip 8 feet wide on a 5 per cent grade is provided for the convenience of launches. The work also includes a shelter shed 16 feet by 20 feet. This wharf was completed on 18th May. UPPER LILLOOET RIVER. The work on the Upper Lillooet river consisted of the removal of obstructions in the form of log jams and clearing the bank generally of sweepers and brush. Work closed down on January 5, 1914, $2,638.54 having been expended. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENQINEEi: 351 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 VAN ANDA. Van Anda, Comox-Atlin district, is a mining town of some 300 inhabitant!?, on Texada island, 80 miles northwest of the city of Vancouver. The town is a supply centre for an extensive farming district, and a regular point of call for steamers. The Provincial Government wharf was taken over by the Federal Government, and an appropriation of $1,000 made to carry out urgent repairs. The work was performed by day labour. Eighty-three bearing piles and posts were put in under the wharf and 10,213 feet, b.m., of timber was used for sway bran and decking. Work was started on August 25 and completed on September 19, at a total cost of $1,018.87. Some planking was removed late in March, which had been broken by heavy teaming over the wharf. VANCOUVER. Vancouver city, situated on the western coast of the Dominion, has a population of 110,000. The harbour consists of a large body of sheltered seaway, known in its different parts as English bay, Burrard inlet, and False creek. Being a western terminus of several railways extensive shipping is carried on with the Orient. Early in the year tenders were called for the construction of a timber-crib and concrete whairf to be built on a site procured by the Government on Burrard Inlet, at the foot of Salisbury drive, Vancouver city. On August 25, an Order in Council was passed awarding the contract to Messrs. Henry, McFee & McDonald, of Vancouver, at unit prices aggregating $1,249,030.75. Work was commenced October 1 and is being continued to date, there being two years from date of contract in which to complete the work. Dredging on the site of the work and other work preliminary to actual construction of the cribs was performed to the end of the fiscal year. Dredging. The entrance to Burrard inlet, or Vancouver harbour, from the sea, is through a contracted channel known as the Fijrst narrows. This channel is of varying width, the least being opposite Prospect point, where the width was originally 450 feet between 30 foot contour lines. The work being prosecuted at the present time has for its object the widening of the navigable channel to 1,200 feet and deepening it to 35 feet at L.W.S.T. This work is being performed by the departmental ladder dredge Mastodon, working day and night shifts. The following table gives the dates between which the dredge was actually digging and the quantities of materials removed, the intervals being periods during which the dredge was laid up for repairs or performing work elsewhere. The total area dredged over during the year was some 786,000 square feet, and the total cost, based on the year's performance of the dredge, was $160,820.87, being 787,180 cubic yards at 20.43 cents per yard. 352 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS 5 GEORGE V..

The work being done in False creek has for its object the utilizing, as an additional harbour, of a long, narrow and shallow basin of water running from English bay to the centre of the city. This work necessitates the deepening of a channel some 13,600 feet long to 20 feet at L.W.S.T. from grade in English bay to a point at or near the Great Northern railway bridge crossing False creek; together with a dredged cut some 2,400 feet long and average width of 1S8 feet, the latter running northerly from the inner end of the main channel and having a depth of 12 feet below L.W.S.T. On March 3, 1913, a contract was awarded to the Pacific Dredging Company of Vancouver, B.C. to remove 3,300,000 cubic yards of various materials at a flat rate of 21 cents per cubic yard, place measurement. Dredging was started on May 13 and continued throughout the year. Three dredges, i.e., suction dredges No. 1 and Robson, and the dipper dredge Puget Sound are being used on the work, the latter two not continuously. On December 22nd, the Pacific Dredging Company were authorized to remove a further quantity of 542,000 cubic yards of materials to afford a turning basin at the inner end of the cut first authorized, this material being paid for at the same rate of 21 cents per cubic yard. During the year, a total of 970,183 cubic yards of materials, place measurement, were dredged, the work being prosecuted from the easterly or inner end. The inner cut 2,400 feet long, noted above, was dredged to grade, 12 feet. The turning basin some 1,450 feet long and some 500 feet wide was nearly completed at the end of the fiscal year, and shows 20 feet at L.W.S.T. Other portions of the main channel, out- wards to the Connaught bridge, have been dredged to various depths all above the ultimate 20-foot grade line. The total cost of dredging in False creek during the year was $213,240.26. Burrard Inlet. On September 2, authority was granted to do some light dredging in the Johnson Wharf Company's slip on Burrard inlet. An agreement was entered into with the Navigation Dredging Company to perform the work on a basis of 40 cents per cubic yard, place measurement. The Company's dredge P.D.C. No. 4 dredged 540 cubic yards of silt on the 14th and 15th of September at a total cost of $216. iv REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 353 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 VICTORIA. Old Custom House Wharf. This work consisted of replacing and driving piles and repairing- decking of wharf. Creosoted piles were used altogether in this work. The work was com- menced on September 20, and was completed September 30, 1913. The amount expended was $481.96. Breakwater. The contract for the above work was signed December 20, 1912, but it was not until about the 9th of April that any rock was dumped on the site of the breakwater, owing to the delay of erecting the plant, building wharfs at the Albert Head quarry and the building of scows. Good progress was made after May as will be seen from the monthly returns as follows : — Tons.

Work on the granite blocks com- menced on March 12. 424 tons having been placed in position up till March 31, 1914. (3) In regard to the extra for levelling land to grade for the wharfs, this work was commenced in May and since that time good progress has been made, the exca- vated material being used for reclaiming the water frontage. The total amount excavated to the end of March, 1914, is 49,405 cubic yards which was mostly solid rock. The net amount of contractor's estimates for year was $318,569.86, and the accounts certified for inspectors' salaries and general expenses amounted to $3,962.02, making a total expenditure for 1913-14 of $322,431.88. Dredging. The fleet operating in Victoria harbour during the full year consisted of the following: Dredge Ajax, dredge Mudlark, Lobnitz rock breaker No. 1, and rock drilling plant No. 1. During the latter portion of the fiscal year, the following were added to the permanent fleet: Rock dredge Victoria, of the orange peel class, rock drilling plant No. 3, and diving 6taff. 19— iv— 23 354 DEPARTMENT UF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 In addition to the above, the rock dredge Skookum was rented by the depart- ment from September 18 to December 6, 1913. The dredge Mastodon was also engaged on the dredging required at the outer wharves which was started on May 19 and completed June 21, 1913. It was considered advisable to concentrate the energies of all the plant, when- ever possible, at the sharp bends in the main channel of Victoria harbour. The principal plans receiving attention were those at and near to Shoal point, Tuzo and Beaver rocks, and Platform rock. This was found necessary owing to the continually increasing sizes of the vessels using the harbour, and during the ensuing year it should be borne in mind that the most important work to be carried out, of general importance, is at Shoal point. The shallow portion at this place constitutes a channel which is of such a winding nature as to be a menace to the new ( '.P.Ry. steamers, which, I understand, are expected during the coming year. By comparison of the records of the amount of work done for the year 1913- 1 L, with that of previous years, it is evident that the efficiency of the plant generally has increased enormously. At the end of the fiscal year under consideration, the methods of reporting of the rock drilling plant were completely reorganized and the general efficiency very much increased. During' this period, the rock drilling plant was engaged at Beaver rock and 7,131 cubic yards of rock were removed. Some projecting- pinnacles were not shattered by the blast, but were later crushed down to depth by the Lobnitz rock cutter. To date, practically all of this rock referred to has been removed down to 20 feet below L.W.L. u i:.-T DEMAUS. West Demars is a lumbering, farming, and fruit-growing settlement, situated at the lower end of the Upper Arrow lake. It has a population of about 150. Authority was granted for the construction of a wharf, during the year 1913-14, to cost $6,500. Work was begun on November 4 and completed on December 31, 1913. The structure is a floating wharf. 40 feet by 80 feet, held in place by pile dolphins. The approach is also floating, and is 16 feet wide by 192 feet long, and is held in place by a pile on each side of each section. The sections are 16 feet long and connected to each other by chains. A freight shed 12 feet by 16 feet was built on the wharf. The total cost of the work was $6,887.72. Dredging. On February 19, 1914, the departmental dredge Sheldrake began operations at Forest Glen, about a mile below West Demars, and completed the cut there on March 24, 1914. During this period, a cut was made 1,740 feet long with a width of 75 feet and a depth of 9 feet at low water. The material excavated, principally sand, amounted to 20,750 cubic yards, at a cost of $2,076.33. WILLIAMS HEAD QUARANTINE STATION. Work done during the fiscal year ending March, 1914, consisted of the following repairs and improvements: — Building approach to wharf 95 by 25 feet, retaining wall, new gangway, new deck on landing at boat-house, replacing four piles in wharf, repairing copper on piles, levelling up decking, renewing four trestles, shingling roof of shed, replacing 400 feet boom logs and eight boom chains, covering 1,500 yards of roadway with cinders and jv REPORT OF lilt: i nil I ENGINEER 355 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 gravel, laid down 150 yards of railing, four culverts put in, 30 yards of concrete road put down, improved road leading to the station by widening and cribbing, 500 yards have been gravelled, two hilla have been cut down and undergrowth cut; three culverts have been put in this part of the road; the water main has lieen repaired and under- growth out ami logs removed. Amount expended waa $5,713.16. WILLOW POINT. Willow Point is a farming, fruit-growing and residential district on the west arm of K'ootenay lake, seven mile- from Nelson. It has a winter population of about 250, and a summer population of about 600. Authority was granted, in 1913-14, for the construction of a wharf to cost $10,000 and a contract for the work was let to Wm. English of Kaslo, on September 1. 1913, for the sum of $7,250. Work was begun on September 25, and completed on November 30, 1913. The structure is a pile and timber trestle, 392 feet long and 32 feet wide. The upper 56 feet are level, 352 feet are on a grade of 1 in 12 and the lower 14 feet are level. Total cost of work. $7,524.96. WINDERMERE. Windermere is a village situated on the east side of Windermere lake, at the I of the Columbia river, about 100 miles from Golden. It has a population of about 150. including the surrounding district. The principal industry is farming and stock raising. Authority was granted, during the fiscal year 1913-14, for the construction of a wharf to cost $1,500. Work was begun on August 23, and completed on November IS. 1913. The piling' was driven by the crew of the department snagboat Muskrat, and the superstructure was built by day labour. The wharf is a pile and timber structure 21 feet wide, by 104 feet long, with a freight shed 16 by 24 feet. The total cost of the work was $1,456.47. WINTER HARBOUR. This work consisted of fixing 4 boom logs 100 feet long and 5 boom chains to make it secure. Work was commenced July 1 and was completed August 19, 1913. Two hundred dollars was the amount authorized, and the full amount was expended. (VOLFSENS BAY. Wolfsens bay, Comox-Atlin district, is a -mall settlement on the Alalaspina straits 75 miles northwest of the city of Vancouver. This point is a receiving and distribut- ing centre for machinery and supplies for numerous logging companies in the vicinity and a regular place of call for coastwise steamers. Authority being granted to construct a wharf, an agreement was entered into with the firm of James McDonald & Company to perform the work at unit prices of $23 per pile and $30 per M. for timber, both in place. The wharf consists of a pier- head 60 feet by 40 feet with an approach thereto 255 feet long and 14 feet wide 19— iv— 23J 356 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 The work is of pile bent construction and 40 Australian hardwood piles were dis- tributed among the bearing- piles. Work was started on September 2^ and completed on October 22 at a cost of $3,048.36. WOODEN RIVER. Wooden River, Graham island, Queen Charlotte islands, is the landing place for a large number of settlers in the interior of this island, and in order that a place might be provided where the settlers could land their supplies from small boats, a landing float 30 feet by 40 feet was built under an agreement with Mr. W. G. Gillet, of Vancouver. The cost was estimated at $850, and the work completed for this sum. woodward's slough. Fraser Hirer. A contract for the construction of wing dam Xo. 3 at Woodward's slough, was awarded to Messrs Hodgson, King & McPhalen Bros., of Vancouver, at unit prices for the material entering into the work and aggregating $14,840.50. Work was started on February 13 and was not completed on March 31. The wing dam follows the general construction of wing dams built on the river, and when completed will consist of two rows of piles driven 11 feet apart and 6 feet centre to centre, longitudinally. A base of mattresses 2 feet thick rests on the bottom and the spaces between piles are being filled with brush weighted with quarried rock. The completed wing dam will be some 682 feet long. WYATT HAY. Wyatt Bay, Comox-Atliu district, is situated on the route of steamers plying among the islands of the upper end of the Straits of Georgia. There is no defined settlement on the bay, but the supplies of the settlers of the surrounding islands are received and shipped from this point. Authority was granted to provide wharf accommodation at this point. It was decided that the requirements of the settlers and shipping generally would be best . met by constructing two floats on the bay, one at Observation bay and one on Octopus island. Work was proceeded with by day labour on October 15, and completed on Novem- ber 2. The two floats are of the same construction and size: 34 feet by 60 feet, with the D cessary anchorage, building and boom ties. The total cost of the two floats was $1,636.35. iv REPORT OF Till: CHIEF ENGINEER 357 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 DREDGING OPERATIONS.

The Dominion Government owns three dry docks and operates two, viz., the Lome dry dock, at Levis, province of Quebec; the Kingston dry dock, at Kingston, province of Ontario, and the Esquimalt dry dock, at Esquimalt, near the city of Victoria, in British Columbia. LEVIS DRY DOCK. Levis is situated on the north shore of the river St. Lawrence, opposite Quebec. During the past fiscal year, the dock was kept in good condition by the regular staff, and thirty-one vessels were docked, six of which wintered in the dock. The revenue for the fiscal year was $28,934.67, and the expenditure for main- tenance and repair was $17,099.81. ESQUIMALT DRV DOCK. The staff has been employed in keeping the buildings and machinery in repair, and in docking and undocking ships. A house was built by contract on the dock property for the use of the assistant engineer. Leaves and other litter have, from time to time, been cleared from the grounds, and that portion devoted to traffic topped with ashes. The main gear wheel developed several flaws, and was replaced with a new casting, while the old wheel is kept in reserve. All marine growth and sediment was removed from the recess, and the caisson cleaned and painted. Boilers, pumps, and other machinery have been carefully Attended to, and all necessary repairs effected. The meeting face and hauling gear on the caisson is becoming badly worn, and will require to be renewed in the near future; otherwise the plant is in a good state of repair. The original meeting face on the caisson was made of teak wood and has been in use ever since the dock was first opened, some twenty-seven years ago. As repairs to the meeting face can only be effected during the highest tides, it would be advisable to have the necessary material on hand, especially as teak of suitable dimen- sions for this work is not stocked by local dealers. Material required to renew meeting face should be teak of the following dimensions: — 10 pieces 8J by 16 inches by 14 feet for inverts. 4 pieces 8J by 14 inches by 30 feet for verticals. The matter of securing this material should not be delayed as the leakage at present is considerable and increasing. A travelling crane or other means for handling material, required for ship repairs, is urgently needed at this dock. The dwelling-house for second engineer was commenced September 6, and was completed November 11, 1913. The amount expended was $3,475. KINGSTON GRAVING DOCK. The revenue was $10,000. On the 1st of May, 1910, the Kingston Shipbuilding Company took possession of the dock under lease, the rental of which, $10,000 per annum, was payable at the end of each year. iv RBPORT OF rill- rin Mi- BNOINBBR 513 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 OOKS ANI» DAMS. MOJ I \ rOHFORD DAM I. Latchford, district of Nipissing, is a -mull town on the T. & N, 0. Ely., Located on Montreal river. At ita last session, Parliament granted $50,000 for the construction of a dam a1 Latchford, for the purpose of improving navigation to Elk lake, and regulating, to some extent, the river for power pui pos< Work was started in April, 1910, by Messrs. Sinclair and Campbell, but made very little progress; their contract was cancelled July 27, 1912. The dam was completed by the department and put under operation in November, 1913. ("For details of work previous to April 1, 1913, see annual report 1912-13). The dam, 382-5 feet long, is of concrete, and provides eleven stop-logged slu ways, 20 feel wide, separated b; puis I feet Si inches wide and 20 feet high. Floors of sluice-ways are 3 to 4 feet thick, on bedrock, some 20 feet below R.W.S.. and the abut- ments are riprapped up and down stream. On the northwest side, si core wall, 31 feel long, extends from bedrock to the R.W.S. Four of the piers have been extended 8 feet downstream for a height of 13 feet, so as to drive the logs between waste dumps, 75 feet apart and closed in by 16 by 16-foot cribs and stiff booms. Upstream, three cribs 1f! by 16 feet, have been built to hold stitT booms, some 900 lineal feet. The dam is regulated by steam and hand- operated log-lifter from the reinforced concrete bridge. Detail of work from April 1, 1913, to March 31, 1914 :— Inside the second cofferdam, concreting which had been started March 31 was com- pleted April 19 ; excavation to bedrock for sluice-ways Nos. 7 and 8, and for piers Nos. 6 and 7, having been rushed to fully use this cofferdam before the spring flood. Pumps were removed by the 21st, and the river reached its maximum stage April 30, only 2 inches below the flood height of 1909 and proposed R.W.S. The third cofferdam for balance of structure (sluice-ways Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, and piers Nos. 3, 4, 5) was started April 21. The last crib on the upstream side was placed June 12, when the flow (W.S. 'elevation 904) was chiefly diverted to sluice-ways Nos. 11, 10. 9, 8. Over 200 lineal feet of 2 and 3-ply sheeting was placed by the diver, June 13 to 27, and this coffer was banked with dump car from borrow pit on the southeast side June 7 to July 2. On the downstream side, excavation for cribs was commenced June 18, crib-work commenced July 5 ;• sheeting finished July 9 ; and some 150 feet of earth banking placed by July 25. Sluice No. 7 having been stop-logged, pier No. 6 and the southeast abutment formed the ends of the third cofferdam, enclosing an area of river-bed about 65 by 150 feet. A eounterdam of gravity type had to be built inside to handle leakage. The centrifugal pumps two 8 by 10 and one 10 by 12, having been overhauled during the flood period, were tried out July 16 and, after stopping the worst leaks, were put into constant service July 24. During the excavation and concreting operations, these pumps and a 3 by 4 Emerson steam pump had to be moved for different sumps, and pumping was finally discon- tinued October 18, pumping operations having been carried through a period of twelve months. Excavation inside the third cofferdam was commenced July 25, and carried on intermittently to September 29. Much of the material, including bed of Cyclopean boulders, having had to be re-handled. Concreting operations were again started August 18 at sluice No. 3, and were carried on alternately with the excavation until the 4th of October, when pier No. 5 was completed. Later the three shore piers and 19— iv— 33 514 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 nbutments, originally built by the contractors, were built up another fool to the elevation of the seven river piers built by the department; the wings of the northwest incut were also built up 1 font. Work of placing 12-inch I-beam girders and 56-pound rails for log-lifter was started November IT, and the latter erected November 19 to 22. As the department had under consideration the raising of piers and abutments 5 fei I Eor power development, as well as a possible traffic bridge across the dam. only a temporary 2-inch plank floor- ing was placed over the 10-inch I-beam stringers en the 29th November. The per- manent concrete deck to be put en during summer of 1914. Three more open-face cribs 16 by 16 feet were built to hold stiff booms, aggregatin 900 lineal feet, for the passage of Logs. In October, November and December, considerable work was done in removing third cofferdam and dismantling crusher, mixer, and travelling derrick. In March, tin- water was allowed to 1 >wer n. is normal stage, and tin1 remaining por- tions of cofferdams, together with cellar inflow and outflow of dam, were thoroughly removed by blasting, etc. The sluice-ways were cleaned of all debris, and the river hanks protected with riprap above and below the abutments. Expenditure to March 31: — For work at Latchford $41,724 56 Fur work in Pork rapids 1,264 OS Total $42,988 114 BIVtERE lit LIEVRE, LO( K AND DAM. During the past year, the lock at Poupore has been kept in operation during navi- gation season. During April. May and June the I ms were repaired, placed and operated. Repair- consisting of painting, papering and placing new floor in lock- master's house: also fencing new road and one side of property were carried out in August. The training' pier above the lock was rebuilt for a height of 5 feet, and replanked for a length id' 12o feet from October 8 to November 20. Twelve new stoplogs were purchased for repairs to the locks. Work of pumping out tin- looks, to place new valves in lower gates, was attempted in November, but had to lie discontinued, owing to fall floods. Work was continued in March to take advantage of low-water conditions, but owing to freezing weather and the rough nature of the earlier work, the stoplog cofferdam could not be staunched and had. therefore, to be removed. This work will unavoidably have to be carried out during the navigation season at summer low-water stage. Maintenance of these works during the year has cost : Wages, $3,103.96; materials for repairs. $803.03; telephone, $1.5; supplies, $604.81; forming a total of $4,526.80. YAMASKA LOCK AND DAM. The lock and dam built under contract about 1882 are situated about 2 miles below tlie village of St. Michel d'Yamaska, where the Quebec, Montreal and Southern railway crosses the Yamaska river, and where the Government built a wharf in 1909. The Yamaska river rises in the county of Brome and. after a course of over 90 miles, falls into the St. Lawrence at the head of lake St. Peter. By the construction of these works, and dredging through the shoals below and above the lock, the river was rendered navigable, lor vessels having a maximum draft of f feet, to Belle Point or Rapide de la Grosse Roche, a distance of 20 miles from the mouth of the river. The dam consists of a stone-filled crib with plank sheathing on the upper side, 502 feet long, with a stone-filled close-faced crib abutment at each end. At the la-t session of Parliament, the sum of $4,500 for repairs and renewal- to lock and dam. and a sum of $3,900 for the maintenance of lock and dam were voted. On .fune in, 1913, authority was received to expend these amounts by day labour. iv REPOBfl OF TEE CHIEF ENGINEER 515 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 Work of repairs and renewals i" look and dam were commenced on Septembi and carried on until October 25, L913, and consisted in c pletely renewing the apron of the dam with 6-inch timber, and completing the pile sheathing in front of the dam. In the execution of the above work, some 1I.--I feel b.m of timber, and 400 pounds of iron wore used t During the fiscal year L913-1 I. the expenditure wae $1,837.24. SI.IDKS AXIi BOOMS. The Dominion Government own- and operates slides and I ra works, buill to facilitate the passage of square timbi r, i -. flatted and dimension timber, etc., on the river Ottawa and tributaries; on the St. Maurice river; the Saguenay river; and at I'oii. Ion Falls and Burleigh Falls on the Trout river. In t'he subjoined reports, the superintending engineers of the river works, .Messrs. J. ('. Scott, I'". X. T. Berlinguet and P. E. Amiot, give particulars relative to the construction, improvements, and repairs carried out under their 3upi rvision on Govern- ment slides, booms, piers, dams, streams, buildings, etc., during the fiscal year; the expenditure incurred for staff, maintenance, improvements, etc.; the quantities of the ious descriptions of timber that pass through their works, and other information ■ neral interesl and utility to lumbermen and the public at large. (By R. F. II. Bruce, Superintending Engineer.) mi \\\ a, .May is. 1914. The < !hief Engineer, Department of Public Works, Ottawa. Sir, — I have the honour to submit herewith the following report on the works under my charge, for the fiscal year ended 31s1 March, 1H14: — OTTAWA RIVER WORKS — ORDINARY REPAIRS — stations ON OTTAWA RIVER. }iorlh Chaudiere Station. — The lower slide was extended 20 feet, a crib being sunk in from 5 to 12 feet of water to form the bottom and carry the side piers. The bottom of the slide was laid with new timbers sheathed with iron bars to protect them from abrasion from passing- logs. The tops of the side piers were covered with 3-inch [dank. A new platform was laid on the bulkhead of slide, and a sluice-gate was made to regulate the flow of water in slide. South Chaudiere Station. — Portions of the bottom of slide were repaired, and the guide 1 in- at entrance to steel bulkhead were strengthened. TRIBUTARIES OF OTTAWA RIVER. Gatineau River. — Pier No. ti. supporting the main boom, was rebuilt from low- water line. The pier is 27 feet long. 22 feet wide and 15 feet high above water level. Pier No. 1, at month of new canal, had four courses of timber added to its top. At the upper end of main boom, a new pier was built on the shore to secure the end of the 1 in. This pier is 46 feet long in front, 39 feet in rear, the width being 14 feet at outer end and 35 feet at the -bore. The top is drawn in to 20 feet in width at the shore end, the outer end being carried up plumb. The face is covered with 3-inch plank to provide a glance. Three lengths of boom, 121 lineal feet, were added to the main boom, this extension being necessary owing to the change in location of the 19— iv—::.;; 516 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V.. A. 1915 new pi< i. the site being farther upstream. The covering on the tops od ti - was patched, and the connecting chains, links, and clevises were examined and repaired. Tht ' along the reserve on southern side of Pond creek was repaired, several ■I the wire having been broken by the logs in high-water season. Madawaska River. — At the mouth of this river, a new pier was constructed to support the retaining boom. It is 10 feet by 21 feet, standing in 14 feet of water, the height over the water being 8 feet, so that the total height of the pier is 22 feet. The front, from low water, has a batter of 4 feet in 8 feet, and is sheeted with 3-inch tamarack plank, a- a safeguard against ice shoves in springtime. Small repairs were made at Arnprior station, consisting in patching the tops of the guide 1 ms above entrance to slide, and renewing and repairing the chains and clevises connecting the boom sections. At High Falls, a pier in the rear of the main dam was carried away in the spring of L913, and bad to be replaced. The pier is 20 ind 1-1 feet high. covered on top with two courses of 2-inch plank. Defective timbers in the main dam were taken out and replaced by new ones, and the sheeting on the face was patched where found unserviceable. At Ragged Chute, a portion of the pier dam across the old channel was rebuilt. This structure is 135 feet in length, 16 feet in width for a height of 8 feet, when it is tapered to 11 feet at top, the average height being 15J feet. At Chain rapids, the superstructure of the slide, which i- 372 feet in length, was renewed. The posts are 12 by 12-inch by 5 feet, and the braces 4 by 8-inch by 4 feet: 120 of each being required. The sheeting is 2 inches thick, and two course- were US Several of the cross sills were also replaced, these being 1 1' by 12-inch by IS feet. Coulpnge River. — At the head of. High Falls slide, a pier supporting tin guide boom was rebuilt from low water. The size of the pier is 30 feet in front. 1st feet at back and 27 feet on sides, at water line, it being battered to 26i feet in front, 17 feet at back and 17 feet on sides at top, while the height is 11J feet over the water. Three pieces of timber were placed in the guide boom, and the top of the boom was covered with 3-inch plank laid transversely, for a distance of 56 feet. The bulkhead of slide , was also renewed. At two places in the first section of slide, the foundations were aired, and the superstructure replaced by new materials. At the first of thi - places the slide is 36 feet in height, and the portion repaired extended over a distai of 92 feet. At the other, the slide is 23 feet high, and the length restored was 42 feet. ir the outlet, another section 36 feet in length was treated in a similar manner. At each of these places, bents were placed to carry the longitudinal stringers, and the posts, sills, and planking were sot on these. At many places, defective posts, sills, and sheeting were made good. Black Hirer. — One of the piers at upper end of thi guide boom, supporting entrance bulkhead, was replaced. The upper portion of the eribwork dam at head of slide was also renewed. The dam extends over a distance of 293 feet, and is 8 feet in width, the part renewed being 4 feet in height. The face of the dam is solid timber, and the back open work. The bulkhead of slide was overhauled and put in an efficient state of repair. Immediately below the bulkhead, a length of 56 feet of the slide was built in the new. At head of the rock cut, another section 27 feet long was also built with new timbers, and a curve at this place was considerably eased. In the rock cut, a length of 133 feet was replaced, including the cross-sills for the flooring. Iron bars in the bottom and sides of slide, where found loose, were taken off, re-bored and a set in position. At several points where settlement bad taken place, the slide blocked to grade. Petewa>rn River.— The governing dam at Second Chute station was thoroughly overhaul. ' • I bee ime much dilapidated, and would not retain enough w.: REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENQ1XEEK 517 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 the efficient working oi the slide. The water was drawn ofi as much as possible, and the foundations were repaired with plank and timber, and afterwards gravelled. Decayed stringers and ties were taken out and new ones were substituted, and the sheeting was patched at different p] the face of the dam. Both waste gates were rebuilt and provided with the necessary platforms and stoplogs to regulate the supply of water. One of the piers of the guide boom was renewed from the water's edge. The entrain', piers of slide, 10 feel in length, were both repaired. Three courses of timber were laid on western pier, and one of the end^ was built from the bottom. A course of timber was put on the eastern pier, and the hoisting gear for the stoplogs fas partially renewed. A portion of the slide superstructure, 260 feel in length, was rebuilt. This is constructed el' solid timber 10- by 10-inch in tie- sides, and 8-ineh material in bottom. The Miles and bottom are supported in the usual way by posts and cross-sills, the former well braced to withstand the lateral pressure. New sills were laid between the outlet piers, and the latter were repaired by the addition of two rounds of timber. Ai the outlet of slide, iron bars wen' placed t" protect the timbi r, as the wear is unusually heavy at this point. The retaining dam at Thompson rapids was reconstructed. The dam is situated abo\it 2 miles below the outlet of Lake Traverse, and controls the head of water in this lake. The main portion of the dam is 225 feet in length. The southern part is of eribwork, sheeted in front with plank, while the northern portion is a flat dam. The sluice-way for logs is 22 feet in width, with a floor protected by iron st up-. The waste gate is 20 feet in width. Both these openings are flanked on either side by eribwork piers which form the sides or walls. A wing dam, at southern end of main dam, and extending downstream, was also rebuilt; this is a pier 254 feet long. 8 feet wide, and 6 feet high. The dam across the northern channel is 32 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 11 feet high, and was built in the new. A pier 12 feet square and 16 feet high was provided as a support for the guide boom at entrance to sluice-way. The guide boom consists of three lengths of double and about 200 lineal feet of single timbers. Rock obstructions in the rapids below the dam were removed by blasting, to improve the channel. In the spring' of 101:!, the water in the Ottawa river and its tributaries was very high, the maximum height being reached about 1st May. Shortly after this date, it commenced to fall rapidly, so much so, that some of the late " drives " from the remote districts on the tributaries had to be abandoned for the season. The following statement, furnished by the collector of Public Works revenue, shows the volume of the business for the fiscal year: — Statement of the number of sawlogs, timber, etc., that passed through the Government slides and booms on the Ottawa river and its tributaries during the fiscal year ended 31st March, 1914.

Sir, — According to instructions transmitted t" me in your circular letter, I have the honour to transmit the following report on the works under my charge on tin' Si. Maurice river for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1914. The fluctuation of the water level on the St. Maurice at the time of the floating of logs during the commercial season of 1913 has been fairly good. At the low-water season of 1913, after the drives had passed, the foundations of the various river structures were examined, and a commencement made of the necessary repairs. The work was continued during the winter and early spring- months, in order that everything- would be in readiness for tin- opening of navigation of 1014. and may he described as follows: — Pointe a Trudel Booms. — On the 40th mile of the St. Maurice river, five mooring piers were put in good condition. The Laurentide Company is building a dam at Grand Mere falls, on the 31st mile, which will be very advantageous to the working of the booms. It is high enough to back up the water for a distance of 16 miles, as far up as Mekinac, on the 50th mile, where large spaces protected by islands could be used for storing logs a year in advance. and which would be a great saving to the lumbermen who are delayed in the spring for li'i;-. as late as the month of June; owing to these improvements, navigation from La Tuque, on the 105th mile, to Grandes Piles, on the 38th mile, could be extended as far down as Grand Mere, on the 31st mile. As soon as the Grand Mere dam will be completed it would be necessary to alter the position of some of the booms so as not to interfere with navigation. The water level being raised to elevation 150 feet above Grand Mere datum, it has been necessary to raise the above-mentioned Ave piers to elevation 160 feet. Pointe a Madeleine Booms. — On the 39th mile, for the reasons above mentioned. four piers had to he enlarged and raised to elevation 160 feet. St. Jacques des Piles Booms. — On the 38th mile from the outlet, seven piers were enlarged and raised to elevation 160 feet. The widths of the booms in use at the above-mentioned places are as follows: — 1.274 lineal feet of 6-ply booms. 223 '* " 5 feet 6 inches ply booms. 3.241 " " 5-ply booms. 1,573 " " 4-ply booms. 5S9 " " 3-ply 1 ooms. O.'.too " " 3- to 6-ply boom-. Ste. Flore Booms. — On the 34th and 35th mile, two pier- measuring' 40 feet by 50 feet were raised to elevation 150, to be completed with concrete heads to elevation 160, where 11,365 lineal feet of booms are in use, detailed as follows: — loo lineal feet of 6-ply boom. 290 " " 5-ply boom. 4i'l " " 4-ply boom. 10,551 " " 3-ply boom. 520 DEPARTMENT OF PL'RhtC \\"IU\.< 5 GEORGE V., A.

Rapides des Metres Booms.— On the 28th mile, stone ballast was put in a mooring pier, 2,600 lineal feet of two- and three-ply booms were put in good condition. Pointe d Bernard. — On the 23rd and 2-ith mile, where 8.250 lineal feet are in use, the double assorting gaps were renewed. Shawenegan Slide. — On the 22nd mile, twenty-two concrete piers woe built a new steel log-chute was erected during the winter, and ha? been completed in time for the sluicing of the logs during the season of 1914. Cap aux Cornuilles Booms. — On the 3rd mile, twenty-three mooring piers examined and put in good condition, chains were supplied and -tone ballast was put in the piers where necessary. He Caron. — On the 1st inile, protection work was erected on the western bank to prevent the undermining of the Government property. lie St. Ghristophe Booms. — On the 1st mile one mooring was examined and put in good condition. The statement furnished by the collector of slide and boom dues shows that 5,760,283 logs passed throueh the slides, and the revenue on the above was ■+."l^."-2fi.66.

An elegant iron drawbridge, 1,200 feet long, hen' crosses the Richelieu. It has an express office, one store, one hotel, 1 saw-mill, 1 bank, and the works of the Hamilton Powder Com- pany. The Beloeil booms, placed by the department in order to help the passage of boats and barges through the G.T.R. swing bridge, over the Richelieu river, were repaired during the month of July. One of these booms. 105 feet in length by 6 feet in width, of 12 by 12-inch timber, had to be entirely renewed, and a length of 100 feet of the other repaired. This work was done by day labour. BRIDGES AND ROADS. It may be stated that, in the older provinces of the Dominion, the Federal Gov- ernment has confined itself, as a rule, to take under its exclusive control and make provisions towards the construction and maintenance of important interprovincial road bridges and bridges required across waterways. In the sparsely settled districts of the Northwest Territories, the Government of Canada has uudei taken to pro ride for the erection and maintenance of "ordinary road bridges over Iaige streams; bridges that are urgently needed to afford uninterrupted communication through trails and highways of national importance, which neither the municipalities to be mora immediately benefited by the structures nor the territorial authorities most directly concerned, could be expected to erect and maintain at their sole expense. During the last fiscal year, works have heen executed on the following; ONTARIO AND QUEBEC. Bridges at Ottawa, and Roadway and Bridge Approaches between Ottawa and Hru.. Ordinary Repairs. Laurier Bridge. — The approaches to this bridge have settled considerably, especi- ally those of the sidewalks. On the northern side of the western approach, a concrete retaining wall, 110 feet in length, Z\ feet in width at base and 2 feet at top, and of an average height of 0 feet, was built to prevent the filling from spreading. The wall also forms a support for the standards of the guardrail. The sidewalk was laid in concrete for a distance of 100 lineal feet, the width being 8 feet. The guardrail was raised and properly set to grade. Chaudiere Slide Bridge. — The roadway of this bridge wli- often cleaned, and the railings were kept in repair. The sandstone pavement over the till to the north of Buchanan channel, where settlement had taken place, was removed and relaid in proper place. The pavement at the Middle street approach from Victoria island was also raised to grade. Concrete supports were provided for the iron gratings at the southern end of the bridge. In winter, the ice was cut from around the post* sup- porting the bridge, to guard against damage. 522 DKPARTHEyT OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V.. A. 1915 liii- bridge was cleaned frequently, and the roadway plank was patched where worn. A supply of plank was purchased to renew the flooring on the western portion of the bridge. Hull Slide Bridge. — The masonry wall supporting the iron columns of this bridge, i -■ the southern side of the Hull slid,-, was damaged by passing logs and timber, many of the stones having been dislodged, thus undermining the seats for the column. The missing portions of the wall were restored in concrete, and a frame glance was ted along the wall to prevent possible damage in future. Roadway and Bi-idgi Approaches between Ottawa ami Hull. — This thoroughfare was cleaned from time to time as required, the pavement was taken up at different places where sunken, tine stone and sand being placed underneath the paving blocks to make up the deficiency. The sidewalk to the north of the stone dam was rebuilt for a dis- tance of 250 feet, with a suitable guard railing to conform with the one adjoining. In the winter months, ice and snow were removed from the sidewalks of all the bridges and causeway leading to [lull, and when these walks were in a slippery condi- tion sand was spread over their surfaces to improve the walking. In spring, the grat- ing- were cleaned thoroughly and gutter drains were made to carry off the surface water.

The balance of the appropriation was available for the completion of the bridge c'hea and the removal of the old bridge. Work was carried on from October 1 to December 9. The old bridge was completely removed except the three principal piers which were only removed to 3 feet above L.W.L. The stone from the old piers was placed as riprap to protect new piers and approach fills. A cover plate was placed spansion joint at the north end of bridge.

Hawkesbury, a town in Prescott county with a population of 4,000, is located on the Ottawa river midway between Ottawa and Montreal. The project for an Interprovincial bridge across the Ottawa river, between Hawkesbury and Grenville, was further looked into early in the season, and the avail- able routes reported upon May 20, 1913. When the exact site was determined by the department, numerous borings had to be made during the summer months, and detail information secured from surveys, etc., Tor the right of way and bridge structures. Mr. W. Chase Thomson, Consulting Engineer, has, since the choice of type of superstructure was made, prepared contract plans and general designs, with specifica- tions for substructure, approaches and roadways. The contract plans and specifica- tion- for steel superstructure and reinforce,] concrete roadway are also well under way and nearing completion. The project is for a high-level deck bridge and trestles, with reinforced concrete roadway. 20 feet wide, and two 4-foot 3-inch sidewalks across the Ottawa river and Grenville canal, 2,288 lineal feet; stone and earth-fill approaches, 838 feet; two road- ivay bridges, 45-foot span, and 1.170 lineal feet improved roadway in John street. kesbury, heretofore maintained by the Hawkesbury Lumber Co.

Military Road Matapedia military road is situated partly in Etimouski and Bonaventure counties, in the valley of Matapedia. Matapedia road starts from Ste. Flavie, on the St. Lawrence river, and extends to Cross Point, on the Kestigouche river, 110 miles from its starting point. The con- struction of this road began in 1857 and was completed in 1867, at a cost of $187,- 870.85, and was repaired and kept in good order by the Government as a military road. After the construction of the Intercolonial, the greatest portion of this road was abandoned to the different municipalities along the road, but there remains a portion of it, from Beaurivage to Mill stream, a distance of 19 miles, where there is no munici pality. Since Confederation, the expenditure for the reconstruction was $34,048.43, and for the maintenance and repairs a sum of $13,650.09. During the fiscal year 1913-14, some urgent repairs were made to the road and bridges. Amount expended. $499.38. NORTH TIMISKAMING BRIDGE. North Timiskaming, a village in Pontiac county, Quebec, is located at the mouth of the Quinze river, 1 mile from the boundary with the province of Ontario. The country is becoming thickly settled, and the dangerous condition of the river in the spring and fall, as well as the growing traffic, would be greatly benefited by a bridge. At its last session, Parliament appropriated $00,000 towards the construction of a 'iriiige ti> be placed 2 miles below the head of lake navigation. An examination was made in the early summer, and test piles driven for final location and type of proposed traffic bridge over the Quinze river at North Timiskaming, and a report thereon was adopted by the department. The bridge is to consist of two 240-foot through truss spans and two 75-foot plate girder spans, with reinforced concrete floor for l7J-foot roadway, and supported on three piers and two abutment- of concrete on piling. The approach fills will provide for roadway on a grade of 5 per cent to tin- low banks and a reinforced concrete culvert where a creek on the east side has to be crossed. The through bridge will provide headroom 14J feet, and clearance 16 feet, above regulated water surface of Lake Timiskaming; at this stage, the principal pier will be 36 feet below the water line, and will be underpinned by piles driven through some 50 feet of clay. Properties required were acquired by authority of Order in Council, August 12. 1913. Plans and specifications for substructure of bridge were prepared and trans- mitted October 8; tenders were called for and a contract awarded to Messrs. Lynch. Peekman & Gorman, approximately at $45,000. Plans and specifications for -. superstructure are being prepared.

Portage du Fort, a village in Pcmtiac county, is located on the north I the- i Utawa river some 60 miles above Ottawa, and ted with the Ontario side of the river by two steel bridges over the north and south channels. Work of replacing flooring of the south channel bridge was begun in the middle of March, and was about 50 per cent completed at the end of the month. Considerable delay was experienced, as the bridge had to be kept open for an extensive traffic. New floor stringers and new wheel-guards were placed where necessary, and a centre wheel- guard was added to divide traffic in opposite directions. Practically all lumber required to finish work was delivered in March. Expenditure to March 31: — Labour $ 166 95 Materials 927 35 Total $1,094 30 C. N. 0. Railway Bridge.

Work during the last fiscal year was confined wholly to the Bow River bridge at lianff. The work consisted of putting in a complete new deck over the four spans, and the renewal of the joists and sills under the sidewalk and roadway. The dimensions of this bridge, regarding decking, are as follows: — Four spans of 90 feet each; width of roadway decking, 16 feet clear; width i t planking on sidewalk, west side of bridge, 0 feet 6 inches. Each of the spans is divided into six panels. The joists under the roadway number eight pieces of 3 by 12 by 16-foot panel. The decking was renewed in addition t<> this, in 8-inch material, both for sidewalk and roadway. The total cost of the work, including labour and material, amounted to $1,830.62. EDMONTON BlUDUE. The Edmonton bridge crosses the North Saskatchewan river between Edmonton and vStrathcona (now part of the city of Edmonton). It is 700 feet long between abutments, and consists of four 175-foot spans. The roadway is 17 feet wide, and there are two sidewalks, each having a width of 7 feet. The bridge is constructed with steel superstructure in the form of Pratt trusses of seven 25-foot panels each. The approximate dead load per lineal foot is 2,420 pounds. The piers and abutments are of concrete, approximately 43 feet high above the river-bed. These are erected on concrete footings deposited in caissons in which bearing piles were driven before the concrete was deposited. This bridge was constructed in the year 1890. by this department. In 1901, an indenture was drawn up by which the Edmonton, Yukon and Pacific Railway Com- pany (now incorporated with the Canadian Northern system) was allowed to place its track upon the bridge and to run trains across, subject to certain responsibilities with regard to accidents, improvements, etc. In November, 1908, an agreement was entered into whereby the Edmonton Radial (electric) Railway, belonging to the city of Edmonton, was allowed to place rails upon the bridge, and a street ear service wus inaugurated between Edmonton and Strathcona. This agreement also was sub- ject to certain conditions whereby the Edmonton Radial Railway assumed responsi- bility with regard to directing of traffic and the upkeep of the bridge. At the begin- ning of the fiscal year 1911-12, instructions were issued by the department that tin cost of all repairs to this bridge should be divided equally between the Edmonton Radial Railway and the Canadian Northern Railway Company and the Dominion Department of Public Works. Following this, an offer made by the city of Edmonton to do all the work in connection with repairs to the bridge was accepted, the expense of the same to be divided as above. There has boon returned lor payment on account of repairs for the past fiscal year the sum of $1,145.92. Included in the above expenditure was the sum oi $764.60, which was incurred in repairs during the fiscal year 1912-13, which could ii"t be paid at that time. The repairs carried out during 1913-14, consisted principally in keeping the flooring of the bridge in good connection along the railway tracks.

CEMENT LABORATORY. Ottawa, July 29, 1914. E. D. Lafleir, Esq., Chief Engineer, Department of Public Works. Sir, — I have the honour to transmit herewith the annual report of the Dominion Testing Laboratory for the year ended March 31. 1914. During the last twelve months, 10,513 samples were received by this laboratory for test purposes, which number shows an increase of 6,220. or more than 100 per cent over the same period last year. On account of lack of space, equipment and -lants, only 5.257 samples were thoroughly tested. During the year 29,950 briquettes. i'i'I specific gravity, 1^1 chemical analysis, '• bond tests, 40 autoclave tests. 7 rope test-. 29 compression, and 42 other test- were made.

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 A. 1915 Department op Public Works., Canada, Upper Ottawa Storage, Ottawa. Ont., October 9, 1914. E. D. Lafleur, Esq., Chief Engineer, Public Works Department, Ottawa. Sir, — I have the honour to submit a report on the Ottawa River Storage covering generally the period from April, 1912 to April, 1914. The storage scheme had its inception many years ago in connection with the Chaudiere powers at Ottawa, but was actively pushed between 1904 and 1908. The first idea was to build eight or ten dams at the outlets of various lakes. These dams were to be of wooden cribwork, like those built throughout the country by lumbermen. With more extended investigation, however, it was found that better results might be obtained by confining the work to three large lakes, Quinze-Expanse, Timiskaming, and Kipawa, each over 100 square miles in area, and into which large watersheds drained. It was therefore decided to build concrete structures and to secure as deep stor- age as possible upon each of these three lakes. The surface height of these reservoirs was sharply limited by the damage to property, which was rapidly increasing in value owing to the exploitation of Cobalt and other mining areas. To avoid inunda- tion, arrangements were made as far as possible to deepen the outlets of the lakes and thus draw off the bottom layers of the reserves. Construction began in 1909, and is now practically completed so as to be ready for use during 1915. Quinze reservoir consists of lakes Expanse and Quinze, navigable for 60 miles, and totaling 120 square miles in area, upon which a depth of 20 feet can eventually be stored. The watershed area, tributary to this reservoir, is about 8,000 square miles. Construction work was begun August, 1911, and the foundations were put in by day work. A contract was let to Messrs. Morrow and Beatty, May, 1912, and the rockfill and concrete sluices are now finished. It will be possible to store the autumn freshet, but damage to timber limits along the borders of the reservoir must be settled before full height can be maintained. About 23,000 acres of hush land will be affected, the cost of which is difficult to estimate, although it has been carefully gone over by timber estimators. The clam is a rock -fill over a mile in length with sixteen regulating weirs capable of passing the flood flow. About $400,000 has been expended in construction to the present date, end of September. Timiskaming reservoir consists of the lake of that name, which is navigable for 70 miles, with an area of over 100 square miles. Upon this, 15 feet in depth of avail- able storage is held and can easily be accumulated from the 8,000 square miles of Quinze and 11,000 square miles of local drainage. The concrete weirs at the outlet were begun in May, 1909, the contractors being Messrs. Kirby and Stewart, who were relieved of the work in August, 1911. It was then completed directly by the department, and went into operation August, 1912. The total length of the dam is 1,600 feet, with about thirty regulating weirs, capable of discharging a flood flow of 100,000 cubic feet per second. The expenditure, includ- ing repairs due to scouring of the river bottom, and land damages, has been about $500,000 to date. 535 536 DBPARTMBN1 OF PUBLIC WORKS iv 5 GEORGE V.. A. 1915 Kipawa reservoir consists of the irregularly shaped lake of that name, which is over 100 square miles in area, and upon which a depth of 15 feet of reserve water cai be held. The area from which this reservoir collect- i- only 2,100 square miles, which does not suffice to fill it in dry years. The lake has been held for many years by lumber- men's dams so that high water was elevation 883 and low water about elevation v7-:>. For the storage scheme, a dam consisting of two sluice-ways and a rock-fill, abont '200 feet in total length, was built across the north or Kipawa river outlet. The smith, or Gordon Creek outlet construction consisted in replacing- the old wooden dam by a rock-fill 800 feet long with a concrete sluice-way for passing timber. The Kipawa dam cost $62,000 and was finished in 1911, the Cordon Creek dam cost $42,000 and was finished in 1912, both were built under contract bj Messrs. Morrow and Beatty. With a view to creating further storage, Grand Lake Victoria has been examined, and it would give a reservoir of 40 square miles with a storage depth of 15 feet. There is also Kakabonga lake, of 100 square miles, which empties westwards into the Ottawa and southwards into the Gatineau, and upon which a depth of 20 feet could be stored. The method of conserving storage on these lakes would be similar to that fol- lowed at each of the others, which consists of a rock-fill dam with concrete piers to form stoplog weirs. To construct these at present is considered too expensive owing to the difficulty <'t' carrying on work at such remote and inaccessible places. Although the reservoir surfaces are raised 20 feet above low water, yet when they are drawn down 15 feet, the head of the weirs will only force through the standard supply. On this account and also owing to complications that arise in summer time with navigation interests, it is safer to count on only 15 feet of storage. All three reservoirs now completed would, on this basis, yield during five months, or 150 days of shortage, as follows: — Quinze, 1,500 square mile feet yielding. . . . 3,000 C.f.S. for 150 days. Timiskaming " " .... 3,000 - Kipawa - " .... 3,000 "■ Total yield 9,000 " Precipitation is alone, of course, relied upon to create the storage, the ponds governed by weirs allow of feeding out the surplus snow and rain as additional quantities into the river at low periods. These occur during September and October, and during February, March, and April. The Ottawa watershed equals the area of England and Wales, and the quantity of rain and snow falling on this area, and the manner in which it gradually reaches the river forms a study of some magnitude. The method of investigation is to obtain daily records of snow, rain and evaporation, and at the same time daily heights of the various lake areas and river slopes. The year, April 1, 1913, to April 1, 1914, has been one of small precipitation, and consequently the river flow has not been up to the average. The ground water, that is the proportion of rainfall absorbed hy the swamps, has also been lacking, but the storage reservoirs kept the minimum flow at Chaudiere falls, Ottawa, up to 20,000 c.f.s.

Quinze. — These meterings cover a range of flow from 2,800 to 25,000 c.f.s. Further meterings are required above 25,000 c.f.s. in order to complete the rating of the lower gauge at the Maples. Kipawa River, — Meterings have been made between elevations 865-50 and 866, also between 869 and 870. This leaves a gap in the curve of 3 feet at flows varying between 600 and 3,500 c.f.s. Montreal Hirer. — Further meterings are required. At the only suitable gauge Bites the level of the river is controlled by dams. To make it possible to arrive at the daily flow, without taking daily meterings, a gauge was placed at Gillies depot. By referring the slope between this and the Latchford gauge to the current meter measurements the daily flow can be computed. .Gordon Greek. — This stream has been metered between flows of 90 to 2,100 c.f.s. There is a very strong current at the gauge site causing fluctuations that do not always give the true discharge. Timislcaming. — The station has been well metered only between flows of 15,000 and 20,000 c.f.s. Further meterings should be made at extreme low water and from 20,000 c.f.s. up to the high water flow. iv REP0R1 OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 539 ■SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 Ottawa at Deux Rivieres.- Meterings have aof been made al thie Btation 1911. The gauge is still kept up at Kloek station as it gives a fairly good idea of the run-off between lake Timiskaming and the Dumoine river. Du Moine River. — Further meterings arc required at all -tages of the river. The gauge is situated 1 mile up the river ami has not yet been tied into the precise levels. Petewawa Rvoer. Additional meterings arc required at extreme low and extreme high water. Black River. — This river has been partially rated above the village. Gauge readings are taken daily at the highway bridge. During low stages they are affected by the opening and closing of the dam. Uoulonge River. — (More meterings are required from a flow of 3,000 c.f.s. up to high-water flow. Ottawa at La Passe. — This station has been well rated from a flow of 20,000 c.f.s. down to 9,000 c.f.s. Meterings should be continued next spring in order to better define the upper part of the curve. Bonnechere River. — It will be necessary to place a new gauge somewhere below the lower dam at Renfrew. The present gauge is useless during low-water periods owing to the filling up of the pond when the power is closed down. Weight an 1 chain gauge being placed at a good site below the power houses. Ottawa River at Qtuyon. — This station has been well rated between elevations on lake Deschenes of 190-20 and 192-80. These two elevations represent discharges of 16,000 and 46,000 c.f.s. Further meterings are required at extreme low water and at medium high, and high water. Ottawa River at Chaudiere. — This station has not proved altogether satisfactory owing to the unevenness of the river-bed and the various channels. The site now being tried below Quyon has up to the present proved much more satisfactory. The run-off from the watershed between the Quyon and the Chaudiere would vary between about 80 and 2,500 c.f.s. Flows varying between these figures will in all cases be added to each discharge measurement made below the Quyon. Rideau River. — Rating curve is incomplete. Early meterings cannot be used owing to the gauge having been removed when the highway bridge was rebuilt. The gauge had not been referred to a bench-mark. Oatineau River. — The curve is not very well defined owing to early meterings having to be discarded. A dam was built, blocking the small channel below the Chelsea falls, thus decreasing the flow for gauge heights that previously indicated a greater run-off. Ottawa River at Besserer's Grove. — The lowest metering gave a flow of 14,600 c.f.s. When the river level fell below elevation 127-80 the discharges were taken from the curve extended down from this metering. It is therefore necessary to make a number of meterings at the extreme low level from which to plot a more reliable curve. Du Lievre River. — Meterings have been taken at various stages from high water down to ordinary summer level. Rouge River. — The curve is fairly well defined, meterings being taken at all stages with the exception of extreme low water. ■0-ttawa River at Carillon. — Although a fair number of meterings have been made of this reach, the various curves are not yet well defined. The gauges at Grenville, Carillon, and St. Amies have all been referred to the meterings, but do not yet give MO DEPARTMENT <>F PUBLIC WORKS 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 satisfactory results. I would recommend that the party now at Cedars be transferred to Carillon at the end of the present month to remain there well into the winter. During the period when the ice is taking, we have always experienced difficulty in estimating the flow. The data gathered would therefore be of considerable value. North River. — This river is metered at the same time the Ottawa is done, in order to give the total flow at the mouth of the Ottawa river.

The business of the whole of the Cape Breton offices shows a good increase over the previous year, and the lines reaching as they do to all the outlying points on the island are a valuable' addition to the Government system, serving a section of the country where none of the regular telegraph companies would undertake to con- duct business. The lines have been well maintained throughout the year, and have for tin- most part been free from any protracted interruptions. On September 1, to facilitate the patrons, a telephone was installed in the office at Inverness, thus enabling the business to be conducted in a more prompt and efficient manner. A main battery of sixty cells was installed at Louisburg, in December, to facilitate the toting of the line between North Sydney and Gabarus. The line between Louisburg and Mainadieu, on the mainland, as well as the lines on Seatari island were, during the year, transposed from telegraph to telephone and tluvi additional offices opined on the mainland section.

Grand Manan, N.B., September It!. 1914. I), lb KEELEY, Esq., General Superintendent, Government Telegraphs. Ottawa. Canada. Dear Sa>. — 1 beg to .submit my report on the Government Telegraph and Telephone lines of the Bay of Fundy system for the year March 31, 191)3, to March 31, V.Hi. The telegraph line from Seal Cove to Flaggs Cove has been in commission through- out the year, with the exception of one or two crosses during high winds: these were cleared promptly and the line is working well; but needs some new wire inserted at various places where it is badly rusted. The several offices are in their usual good order. The first interruption t -our was on the Flaggs Cov< — Eastport cable line which was caused by a tree falling and breaking the wire a mile or so from Herring Cove 'in Campobello; but repairer Parker at Welchpool had the line working again within a few hours; this was on the 9th of December, 1913. A (vw days later, on the 13th the line went bad again. Applying test at Long Eddy and Herring Cove I found tin- cable to lie broken two ami three quarter miles off the Herring Cove -bore, and wired headquarters to that effect. v GOVERNMENT TELEGEAPB LINES 8& SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 On the 9th January, 1914, Mr. MacDonald, on arrival of Tynan at Sea] Cove. called asking that I go aboard and on the H'th we sailed to pick up the broken cable; hut on account of a heavy snow storm and rough sen we had to make harbour at Welch l>ool; and it was not until the 15th that the cable was mended and has given satisfac- tion up to the present time with the exception of the usual annoyance caused l>y the induction from the arc-light circuits in Eastport. The remedy is obvious. The White Head Grand Harbour telephone line has had a few interruptions Caused chiefly by crosses although in One Or two instances the arresters were badly fused by lightning hut the line was quickly cleared, and at the present time is in good working order and entirely satisfactory. The poles have been righted where that was needed and the line overhauled generally by lineman (lilmorc. Regarding the Southern Head Seal Cove telephone line and its cabled branch to • iannet Kock, I have to report that the unintelligent use to which the whole line is put has been the principal cause of the various interruptions which have occurred during the year; the only exception being that a high wind and heavy sea parted the Gannet. Rock cable on the rough ledges at (iannet Rock on the 2nd of May 1914 and grounded the entire line which was out of commission until 9th .May when the Tyrian arrived and repaired the damage. 1 had .Mr. Gilmore go over the land connections clearing out tree3 and repairing in genera] during the month of March, 1914; it i- giving satisfaction at the present, but it is crowded. if tin1 department thinks it advisable to appoint a permanent operator at Seal Cove to operate a switchboard, upon receipt of advice I will construct such a board and split. this line bringing each id' its branches to a "drop." In the interest of the Department of Marine and Fisheries, the telephone on the South Head line held by Mr. Turner Ingalls has been transferred to the residence of the coxwain of the life saving station. Appended is the tabulated statement of offices revised and amended to date. 1 remain, sir, your obedient servant. J. 11. PARKER, District Superintendent. REPORT No. 3.— MAGDALEN ISLANDS.

April •>">, by men id' the ss. Tyrian, the cable being found broken on the ( 'ape Breton side. On May 7. a new office was opened at Grand Entry point at Mr. T. Larades. A telephone set was put up as decided by department, it was made to connect with Grand Entry village at Mrs. Aitkens' where another phone was placed, but upon the intallatiou of a general telephone system on the islands it became as well as the Grand Entry loop line connected with the main line altogether. On May 8, the ss. Tyrian came to repair the Entry Island cable, a good circuit was established on the 16th. The people of this island (which is about 10 miles from the other islands) wen' very glad to have this only means of communication restored, it 86 DEPARTMENT OF -PUBLIC WORKS v 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 was interrupted in August of the preceding year by the dredge in Amherst harbour, for J be reason that the shore end which was the interfering part, was laid around the har- bour and as a result a land line about a mile long was constructed by lineman Eenaud from where the Entry Island cable landed at Amherst harbour to tbe main line, that i3 to say at Miss Shea's office. We used all the cedar posts we had on hand and had to get a few spruce ones to complete the work. This line was in good operation May 31st. On May 16 the Bryon Island cable was repaired, this cable had been broken since November, 1911, at which time the ss. Tyrian came to repair it, but owing to extremely bad weather, the poor condition of the ship to stand such a severe test, etc.. the cable could not be picked up then; the following year the ss. Tyrian undergoing repairs for the most part of the season, this cable could not be attended before last spring. At this time Mr. McDonald left us after giving in the benefit of using all our eablos-success- fully. I beg to say that Bryon island is one of the islands' main fishing ground, where lobster, mackerel and codfish abound. Large numbers from all parts of tbe Magdalen islands gather there, crossing over to start with seal hunting in the latter part of February and all of March, then to begin fishing until advanced in October. The cable affords the only means of communication with the rest of the islands as well as the rest of the world and it is useless to say bow glad they were to have the connection restored. On May 21, as the material, telephones boxes, etc., came to hand operations began to convert the telegraph system into a single line telephone system as decided by the Department, upon instructions of April 23. The Magdalen islands offices were equipped with telephones, the complete installation of which took place towards the latter end of June. Tbe public, as a whole, favour this new system while business people solicit central offices or an additional telegraph line, the deficiency is that the traffic is not secret with the present system. At Grosse Isle there is a telegraph connection to Meat Cove (our mainland office) and it is at Grosse Isle that local government messages are handled or rather phoned and repeated from there 'by telegraph to Meat Cove. The Marconi Wireless Company has a station at Grindstone, about a mile from my office, which connects with our local offices by telephone connection, which is joined to the main line, it has been in operation for a coiiple of years and is kept open the year round. A great deal of local business is handled by them. Some people prefer to do business with their system, although advantages are not greater than by the Government lines. On October 30 a new office was opened at the residence of Father Turbide, the parish priest at House Harbour, to be operated on commission. On November 1st, I regretted to hear the Bryon Island cable was broken again but luckily the Tyrian came, and Mr. McDonald, through strong attempts, succeeded in repairing it and it has been working well to the close of the fiscal year. The Grand Entry Village office held by Mrs. Aitkens this past 30 years was closed this winter. Before leaving the office Mrs. Aitkens notified me she was compelled to winter on the mainland. The traffic is dull in winter and Grand Entry Point office, which is in proximity, has handled the business done this winter. On December 23, a new office was opened at Mr, Azade Arseneau's, Grand Kuis- seau. operated on commisson of 25 per cent. I remain Your humble servant, A.

KeELEY, Esq., General Superintendent Government Telegraph Service, Ottawa. Dear Sir, — I beg leave to submit my annual report for the year ending March 31, 1914. We have no additional mileage since my last report and 1 can -only repeat myself as to the repairers" duties. The travelling on the whole length of the line is extremely dangerous at certain times of the year and consequently wo have to pay high to an assistant to accompany the repairer. I am pleased to say that our land line has been in good working order the whole year round with the exception of a ten day interruption hoi ween South and Heath Points last fall. The weather was so very rough then that the repairer could not possi- bly travel. The number of telegraph oliiees is the same as reported in my last report, viz., eight, and Fox Bay office in communication during summer season by phono. Both Gaspe and North Shore cables which won- interrupted all last winter (1912 and 1913) were repaired last .May by the staff of cable ship Tyrian. The Gaspe cable is working well since, but I regret to say that the North Shore cable has been interrupted and is still so since last January. I beg leave to call your attention to the fact that this island is becoming more important every year by the tremendous push Mr. Menier is giving it and by the enormous amount of money spent yearly. Therefore would it not be wise to erect a wireless station either at West Point or at Ellis Bay where operators would be kept the year round. In my opinion the first named would be by far the most convenient place. " The whole humbly submitted. I have, the honour to be, sir, ■ Your obedient servant, ALF. MALOUIN, District Superintendent.

POPE, Superintendent. 88 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS v 5 GEORGE V.. A. 1915 NORTH SHORE ST. LAWRENCE GENERALLY. The business of the whole North Shore system for the year shows a slight falling off, owing partly to the dullness in general business, and partly to the competition of the telephone in certain sections. The lines have been kept in good working condition, and no serious interruptions have occurred. NORTH shore WEST AND CHIOOUTIMI. In addition to the usual maintenance work ii- by the regular repairers, the Chicoutimi and Peribonka line was almost entirely rebuilt between Peribonka and St. Charles Boromee, cedar poles being substituted for the spruci poles used in the first construction. The work was done under the supervision of lineman Verreault, and will be con- tinued during the coming season. Linemen Brisson and Graval carried out a similar work on the Chicoutimi- Tadoussac line, and put in cedar poles on a section of thirty-five miles. CHANG] S. April, 1913.

REPORT No. 7— QUARANTINE LINES. St. Jean, I.O.. March 31, 1914. D. II. lYEELEY, Esq., General Superintendent, Ottawa. Sir, — I have the honour to submit my annual report for the year ending March 31, 1914. In December, 1913, and January, 1913, the telephone cables at Ange Gardien, St. Pierre I.O., were carried away by the ice, we then connected the telephone wire to the telegraph cable with a transformer at Ange Gardien which permitted us to have tele- phone service during the winter of 1912-13. These two cables were repaired in May, 1913. One of the telephone cables was broken again on October 16, 1913, and repaired on the 18th of the same month. The Grosse Isle-Crane Island cable was broken in three places in December, 1012, and was repaired in May, 1913, the work being com- pleted on May 29. On October 5, 1913, the St. Francois-He aux Rcaux cable was interrupted, repairs were completed on October 12. The Crane Island-Montmagny cable was taken up in November, 1912, and relaid May 2, 1913. Tn September, 1913, a telephone line was constructed from Crane Island to the east end of Goose Island, distance 10 miles, connecting with the Crane Island-Mont- magny ]i\»\ 25 foot cedar poles and No. 6 wire were used in construction. Four stations were established on Goose Island, all accommodation. t GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH LINES 91 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 In November, 1913, two new connections were made at Crane Island, C. P. Roy and Joseph Lemieux with accommodation. In October, 1913, a special wire was strung, connecting the Grosse Isle-Crane Wand cable, north side Crane [sland with the Crane Island-Montmagny cable, giving direct and satisfactory -service between the Quarantine station al Grosse Isle and Quebec. As in the previous Near the Crane [sland-Montmagny cable was raised on November 21, L913, and placed in security for the winter. On March 1 and 2, Orleans Island was swept by a violent storm which caused much damage to our lines, poles and wire were prostrated in St. Laurent, St. Petro- nille and Ste. Famille, repairs were completed on October 5. Apart from those inter- ruptions the lines worked satisfactorily throughout the year. I beg to enclose complete li-t of offices, agents, linos, etc. I remain Tour obedient servant, J. P. POULIOT, District Superintendent. REPORT No. 8.— ONTARIO. Leamington, Ont., April 8, 1914. D. H. Keeley, Esq., General Superintendent Government Telegraph Service, Ottawa, Ontario. Dear Sir, -Id the matter of the Pelee Island telephone system from March 31, 1913, to March 31, L914, I beg to report as follows:— 1. Last summer we had to shift about a mile of the line on the island near the North Point lighthouse as it had been washed out by the high water and gales from the west and northwest. We erected the poles from the lighthouse south along the dyke which was thrown up a few years ago east of the former location of the line taking twenty poles from Leamington to supply in place of those which had been swept away. During the erection of the municipal system on the island and especially during September and October, the working of the line was considerably interfered with by cross wires, brush carelessly thrown on the wire, and oilier obstructions which grounded the line. On October la, connection between our office at Leamington and the cable was connected up with their system; afterward communication with this office was restored cut off near the i able landing on the mainland by the Bell Telephone Company and the cable was connected up with their system; afterward communication with this office was restored by them from October 25 until November 4, when they finally cut us off. ■2. In the storm of November 9 the cable was broken, but I received no intimation of trouble until informed by the Bell Telephone Company on November 20 that the cable was not working. I immediately telegraphed the department and, under instrucr tions from the department, and consulting with Dr. Park, went out and tried to repair; the weather was very rough and delayed us considerably. We found the cable broken in three separate places, each about a mile apart, where vessels had dragged their anchors through it, straining and damaging all splices for a distance of about 4 miles the two outer breaks being over 2 miles apart and from 8 to 10 miles from the main- land. As the main damage was where the cable had been badly used by the ice shoves of a few years ago there are a number of short pieces of cable in that section and as 92 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS v 5 GEORGE V. A. 1915 I bad not sufficient good cable on hand to make the repairs accessary and replace some of the short pieces with a longer piece, in my reports of December 20 and 27 I stated it would be best to have not less than a mile of new cable to replace some of die short sections and save time in repairing. 3. The line to Point Pelee is in g I order but will require a few uew poles to replace some of th< old ones which are rather tender, a. was evidenced in a heavy sleet storm this last winter when several gave way ami had to he replaced by uew ones, of which I have a sufficient supply on hand. The instrument for the life saving station will be placed as soon as the crew resume duty this spring: the building was not occupied by them hist winter hut we had th>- poles set up and everything is ready for installation of instrument. I herewith submit a list of offices ami operators or agents, with summary of mes- ses from March 31, 1913, to March 31, 1914. Yours most respectfully, JOHN M. R. SELKIRK, District Superintendent. REPORT Xo. 9.— NORTHWEST J. INKS. Edmonton, Aita.. April i:.. 1914. I). II. Keeley, Esq., < leneral Superintendent, Ottawa. Dear Sir, — I beg herewith to submit my annual report on the northwest lijic>. covering conditions, repairs, construction, and changes in staff up to March 31, 1914. CONDITIONS GENERALLY. During the past year interruptions were infrequent, the lines, as a whole, being: kept in good working order. The sections between Athabaska ami GrouaH have given the most trouble. These sections are heavily timbered, and fierce tires havo swspl through the whole district: while killing the trees left many of them standing, but in a weakened condition, so that whenever a strong wind blows many trees are blown on the wire. Lineman Parry, of Mirror Landing, with two men. bushed and cleared a portion of this section in the fall at an expenditure of $131. There should be an appropriation of $.*>(X) made available for clearing the trees from the right of way along that section. During the past summer the northern district was visited by ex- tremely heavy rains, causing the Lesser Slave lake to overflow its banks and flood that portion of our line between Sawridge and Grouard. This, with the trouble caused by the E. D. & B. C. railway while clearing their right of way along the south bank of Lesser Slave lake, gave our linemen a great deal of extra work. However, with the exception of one week's interruption in July, due to the floods, there was no serious delay to business. Between Qu'Appelle ami Edmonton, considerable work was done in shifting our line from the fields to the highway but there is still a large amount of this work to be done. Requests to this effect are coming in from all points. It is the intention to carry on this work as soon as funds are available. During the year some construction work was done and some buildings erected, details of which follow. The revenue for 1912-13 showed an increase over the previous year of $8,843.41, or about 43 per cent. The year just closed shows an increase of $10,054.15 or about 4o per cent over the year 1912-13. Owing to the continually increasing business in my office 1 have been unable to make a complete trip of inspection during the past four years. Our lines now cover l.ss7 miles and an inspection trip would necessarily take up con- siderable time. v GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH LLNEB 93 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 i OXSTRI I I l(i\.

Assiniboia Tieserve-Sintaluta Line, — An appropriation was made for a telephone line to be constructed between Assiniboia reserve and Sintaluta, a distance of 8 miles. This line is for the use of the Department of Indian Affairs exclusively. It was con- structed at an expenditure of $1,290.14. Shifting Liars Generally. — An appropriation was voted for the changing ol line from fields to the highway between Qu'Appelle and Edmonton. Forty-two and one- half miles were changed in the more settled districts during the year. There is on hand a considerable number of poles at different points to continue this work as soon as funds are available. BUILDINGS. Battleford — A new office-building was creeled at Battleford at a contract price of $$,250. (Irouard. — An office-dwelling and stable was erected in 1912-13, but not fully com- pleted. During the year just passed $412.40 was expended to complete it. Sawridge. — During' the year 191-2-13 a stable was erected and some lumber pur- chased toward the building of an office-dwelling. During the year 191:1-14 $lt!>0 was expended to complete the buildings. Glaslyn. — An office-dwelling and stable was erected at a cost of $1,939.85. Meadow hike. — An office-dwelling and stable was erected at an expenditure of $1.1)71.40. There is still some finishing work to be done before the building is fully completed which will cost approximately $200. Green hike. — An office-dwelling and stable have been erected at an expenditure of $1,967.05. These buildings will require a further expenditure of about $200 before being completed. St. Pant de Metis — A lot was purchased and an office-dwelling erected at a total cost of $3,693. The building is centrally located and lias a furnace installed and is satisfactory in every way.

Dear Sh;, — I beg to submit herewith a report covering the lines in my inspectorate tor the fiscal year ending March 31. 1914. qu'appelle-edmontok section. N'.i serious interruptions rurred on this line during the past year. The work "I removing the line from farms to the highways was continued, preference being given to those disiriets where the necessity was greatest. This work will have to be con- tinued until the task is completed. Practically all the farm land in this district has now been put under cultivation, and the farmers are pressing for the removal of the poles which obstruct their harvesting operations. BUILDINGS. St. Paul de Metis. — An excellent office-dwelling was erected at St. Paul de Ifotis h.T the service at a cost of $3,693. t GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH LINES 95 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 Battleford — A fine building, modern in all respects, was erected al Battleford :ii a cost of $6,260. At South Humboldt a furnace was installed, and at Onion Lake a kitchen built, both improvements adding to the comforl and value of the buildings. Some few changes were mad.' in the staff, due to resignations, bul the majority of the employees on this line have been with the service for many years, and 1 find tl hunks are kept satisfactorily, and returns forwarded promptly. WOOD Mm \T\I\ LINK. During the summer of 1913 some interruptions were caused on this line between Expanse and Limerick by workmen engaged in building the C. N. R., which parallels our line for some 12 miles. On the completion of this work all trouble ceased. I bad occasion during the year to make trips to Expanse and Gravelbourg to investigate com- plaints with regard to which satisfactory explanations were forthcoming. The volume of business on this line has decreased somewhat as compared with the previous year, but the importance of the line, particularly as regards police purposes- is as great as ever. Necessary repairs were made to our office-dwelling at Willow Bunch. EDMONTON-LAKE SASKATOON SECTION. With an ever-increasing volume of business this line has satisfactorily met all demands upon it, there having been but one serious interruption during the year. Ow- ing to the comparative slowness in transportation of the mails, the wire has become absolutely neeessary'for business. It would be impossible to emphasise too strongly the importance of the line and the consequent necessity for keeping it in thorough repair. Al ng seme porti us of the route, particularly between Athabaska Landing and Grouard, the line passes through stretches of partly burned timber, which in falling- may do considerable damage. It would therefore be advisable to send a gang of men over this at the proper season to cut down such trees as threaten the safety of the line. Because of the amount of business done it is absloutely necessary that none but first-class operators be employed on this division, otherwise it would not be possible to handle all messages offered. This condition has been fairly well met, but as other telegraph companies offer higher salaries than are paid by the Government, it is difficult to retain the services of the best men. The result is that changes of staff are frequent, in this respect being in marked contrast to the conditions obtaining on other sections. BATTLEFOIiD-ISLE LA CROSS!'. LINE. This line was completed from Battleford to Green Lake — 185 miles — in 1913, and poles are now 'being taken out to complete it to Isle La Crosse, a further distance of 110 miles. While this distrct is not opening up in the manner of the Peace River country, yet many settlers are going in, and to these the line is invaluable. During the year office-dwellings were erected at Glaslyn, Meadow Lake and Green Lake at a cost of approximately $2,000 each. A new building will be required at Isle La Crosse upon the completion of the line, and probably one at an intermediate point. ST. PAUL-DURLWGVILLE LINE. The office at Durlingville has been closed. An office has been opened at Bonny- ville, 5 miles west of Durlingville. The line, while not producing much revenue, is of great value tc the settlers. 96 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS v 5 GEORGE V. A. 1915 ATUABASKA-FORT UCMl'IUiAY MM:. This line, which is being constructed under direction of Mr. E. I). Currier, is r< lorted as finished to Duncans Creek, a point 57 miles north of Athabaska landing. SIXTAl UTA-ASSUJIBOIA RESERVE. This line, 8 miles in length, was built for the use of the Indian Department. The Indian agent wished to make connection at Sintaluta with the Provincial Government telephone system, and this was left for him to arrange through his own Department. DUCK LAKE-BATOCHE LINK. Arrangements have been made for the re-opening of this line, which has been closed since the resignation of the former agent, D. II. Grant, of Batoche. Mr. John Kusch will act as agent at that point. SOUTHERN BRITISH COLI MBIA I.IM S. My animal trip of inspection of these linos was made in September, shortly after ;!: death of Superintendent Palmer, of Kamloops. At this time the change in policy of the administration was being effected, and there was more or less confusion during tin period of transition. On the lines radiating from Kamloops. 1 found that imme- repairs were imperative between Nicola and Penticton, Kelcwna and Vernon, and on the North Thompson line. After communicating with you. 1 arranged for repairs sufficient to carry the lines through the coining winter. The Gulden line was also in had condition, but general Superintendent Phelan had this matter in hand. The sections of the line which 1 have mentioned, as reported to yon on my return, will have to he rebuilt practically in entirety, this season, as the great majority of the poles are rotten and are too short to he again reset. The lines on Vancouver island were working well. The usual amount of repoling necessary each year will he required NAKrsr-i:ii..i;v\ ood line. At the time of my visit, this line was down and 1 made arrangements to send a -mall gang over it and put it in working order. This line is a great convenience to settlers along the lake, particularly during the winter season. It has always been found very difficult to obtain the monthly revenue returns from many of the telephone agents. I found that in some cases these returns had to lie made out in the district superintendent's office. There does not appear to he any way in which this difficulty '■an 1 vereome, as in many cas s the agents are indifferent as to whether they retain thi office, ami it is not always easy to find substitutes. The feature of the year has been the rapid and continuous expansion of the ter- ritory north of Edmonton, particularly that large section vaguely defined as the Peace River country. To this district settlers are flocking in ever-increasing numbers and the indications are that the volume of immigration this year will be greater than ever before. As a factor in this work, the importance of our recently built lines has been incalculable. Owing to the great distance from a railway, and the consequent delay to mails, our wire has been the chief medium of communication for practically all busi- ness purposes, so that our line has been taxed to the utmost capacity. Already settle- ment is reaching out beyond the territory now served by us. and we are being called upon to extend our lines north and west of their present terminals. Between Lake Sas- katoon and Tludsons Hope, some 250 miles, there is already considerable settlement, with an assurance of large additions this season. From Peace River Crossing to Fort Vermilion, about 250 miles, on the north side of the Peace, lies a splendid agricul- tural country which is just beginning to attract attention. From the beginning, the v GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH LINES 97 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 lines of the service have been iii the van oi settlement in the Northwest, while the outlook is that for many years to come they will be required by the pioneer to aid in the development of that vast north, the extenl of which is not yet even fully known. An increase of revenue for March of approximately 35 per cent over any previous month is the besl evidence of the growing importance of this line in the development of the north. Owing to the ever- increasing number of offices, with the resultant addition of employees and multiplication of accounts, the clerical work in the di trie! superin- tendent's office at Edmonton keeps himself and clerk so fully occupied that he has little opportunity to gel out on the lines to observe progress or keep in touch with what is being done. If new work is to be undertaken this season I would recommend that a practical assistant be granted him. in order that he may he able to devote more time to the important matter of construction. I have the honour to be, sir. Your obedient servant. ,T. S. MACDONALD, General Inspector. REPORT No. 11.— VANCOUVER ISLAND LINES. I beg to submit the annual report for this district for the year ending March 31. 1014, on the telegraph and telephone lines. Previous to the olst of August, 1913, this district was under the charge of Mr. Wm. Henderson. On the 1st of September, under the general changes which took place throughout British Columbia, Mr. Wm. Dee was appointed district superintendent at Victoria, in charge of Vancouver Island lines. The Golden-Windermere line was attached to the Kamloops district. Victoria-Bam field (including Victoria-Jordan River telephone circuit) Bamfield- Alberni, Clayoquot-Alherni, Nanaimo-Campbell River (including lines to Alberni, Den- man and Hornby islands, (labriolu Island line and the Cape Lazo branch to Comox) Campbell River-Powell River (including telephone line to Texada island) Powell River to Vancouver, extension North Vancouver to Newport, extension Pender to Saturna island, extension Sechelt to Bucaneer bay, extension Lund to Savary island, extension Sooke to East Sooke and Rocky Point telephone line. Clayoquot to Friendly Cove telegraph line. VICTORIA-BAMFIELD SECTION. The installation of the Sooke exchange in the early part of the year and the com- pletion thereof with the extension to East Sooke by cable gives great satisfaction to the inhabitants of this entire district. The exchange is working very well, and we are able through switching arrangements at Victoria to give our subscribers at Sooke a connection with all the subscribers on the British Columbia telephone system, both in Victoria and all the other coast eities in the province. This has been a considerable factor in producing revenue. The interruption to the Jordan River telephone circuit was repaired on the 12th June of last yi ar. Upon the completion of the Sooke exchange, this Victoria-Jordan River line was made a part of the Sooke telephone exchange, and is giving excellent satisfaction in every way. Interruptions, however, were very frequent in the autumn and early winter owing to the construction of the 13— v— 7 98 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS v 5 GEORGE V, A. 1915 Sooke water pipeline, but on the completion of this undertaking these interruptions naturally ceased, and since we have had little or no trouble on the circuit. The main line to Bamfield has given very good service indeed this year excepting during the months of December and January when a series of general storms all over British Columbia. Washington, and Oregon created havoc, not only on this section but over the whole district and the lines were down for several days at a time. So severe were these storms on the west coast that on one or two places, -t miles of line were completely car- ried out and the poles were lost. BAHFIELD-ALBERN1 SECTION. On the Bamfield-Alberni line conditions have improved quite considerably, but the lower section of the line from Coleman creek to Bamfield will need a very c erable overhauling this summer. The storms of last year again on this section, and the fact that a large number of trees have become unfit for use through rotting away will necessitate the expenditure of a considerable sum of money on this section. The interruptions cause | i by the operations of the Canadian Northern Railway contractors have now ceased, and they have replaced the line at the water's edge be- tween Coleman creek and Copper mountain, about '< miles from Port Alberni. I understand it is their intention this year to commence operations in this last section between Copper mountain and Al! erni, but they have undertaken to place our wire across the canal with a submarine cable connection so that their blasting operations will not interrupt us again. ALBERXI-CLAYOQI OT SE< I ION. This section, with its branches to Brewster's cannery and Mosquito harbour, have worked very satisfactorily this year, there being fewer interruptions there than ever. This section, however, as well as the Alberni-Bamfield. is a very difficult one to main- tain owing to the rough country on both sides of the canal, and I am free to say that the launches which were provided in 1911-12 have amply justified this means of main- taining and repairing the line. NANAIM0-C0M0X-CAMPBELI, imER SECTION. This year as was the case last year the Canadian Pacific Railway, in building their extension from Parksville through towards Campbell river have taken up the old road as part of their grade, and this has again necessitated the reconstruction of several short sections of the line. The Provincial Government lias also straightened out the old road to Campbell river and this forced us to move our wy-es to the new road, which, however, being straighter and better cleared of trees will mean an im- provement in our lines and greater ease to maintain. On the road between Port Alberni, Alberni and Parksville there will be required quite an amount for re-poling as these poles are in very bad condition in a number of places. It will also be necessary to make extensive alterations in the streets of both Alberni and Pert Alberni, as it is the intention of these cities to widen and straighten the main streets along which our lines are carried. UNION BAY-DESMAN AND HORNBY ISLANDS SECTION. This line has continued to give general satisfaction to the people living on the islands, and it is contemplated during the early part of the coming year to give them a connection with the British Columbia telephone system with a switching arrange- ment at Union Bay similar to that now in use at Victoria on the Sooke exchange tele- phone circuit. v GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH LINES 99 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 COMOX-OAPE LAZO SECTION. This ecction is in operation, lint as in previous twelve months, is nut produc- tive of much revenue. There has been BOtme inquiry as to a teleph connection on this line, but I understand the British Columbia Telephone Company have built their wires along this road, so that there will bo no room for us in this district. NANAIMO-QABRIOLA island SECTION. There have been very few interruptions to this section during the past year, bul owing to the fact that this is a grounded circuit' and the light and power companies of Nanaimo are giving a daylight service, it will be necessary to put in a metallic circuit immediately between Nanaimo and Nanaimo river to overcome the induction on this line so that our patrons will be able to use the telephone satisfactorily at any hour oi the day. CAMPBELL RIVER-POWELL RIVER-TEXADA 1st, AND SECTION. This section has been fortunate in escaping many bad interruptions this year, though in common with the rest of this district, it suffered in the December-January storms. The line to Heriot Bay, which was built and connected to the main line was found to give some little trouble from recurring escapes, thus causing delay to 'business generally on the main wire, it was therefore disconnected and installed separately at Bagots, and is now handled as a separate line from that point. POWELL RIVEE — VANCOUVER SUCTION. By reference to last year's report it will be seen that the land line portion of this extension was completed awaiting the arrival of the cable for the different pieces of water before it would be put into successful operation. These cables arrived, and were put down successfully under the supervision of Mr. Porter, and the line was thrown open to the public in the early part of May. While the cables were being laid, it was- found that a good deal of these sections had to be thoroughly repaired, and in some places reconstruction was almost necessary on account of the severe storms, which occurred between the completion of the line, and the laying of the cables. There were no linemen appointed, until we were ready to operate, and it was therefore found neces- sary to send quite a gang over the line to put it in a good state of repair. The oper- ation of this section has given very lively satisfaction, and our customers are very- pleased with it, particularly as there are several important centres to be served by it. On Bowne island a complete and separate telephone circuit was built with the intention of giving the residents and visitors of that island direct telephone communication with Vancouver, but the cable has not arrived, and considerable anxiety is expressed by these people, that we should expedite the completion of this part of the work. If this is done this summer it would be a great boon, and 1 would recommend that a further extension of this telephone circuit be constructed to include Gibsons Landing and Sechelt at a later date. NORTH VANCOUVER TO NEWPORT SECTION. This piece of line was most difficult to construct. It was built along the shores if Howe sound to Newport, and this coast is extremely rocky and precipitous. Upon completion of it, however, which took place on October first fairly satisfactory revneiu was at once obtained, and there have been but few interruptions since, except- ing between North Vancouver and Whitecliff, where there has been considerable railway construction, which has not only interrupted this line, but the Vancouver Powell river to a considerable extent. This, however, is now almost finished and We look forward to having very few interruptions on both of these sections for the future.. 19— v— 7J 100 DEPARTMENT OF PC BL1C WORKS 5 GEORGE V, A. 19lf> As soou as the cables for the Eour small extensions arrived the work of construc- tion of these lines, which are as follows: Sooke-East Sooke and Rocky Point telephone lit Saturna-Pender Island telephone circuit Sechlet-Bucaneer Bay telephone cir- cuit, Lund-Savary Island telephone circuit was immediately proceeded with and were all completed and in satisfactory operation by the end of the fiscal year. CLAYOQUOT-FKIENDLY COVE EXTENSION. The construction of the Clayoquot to Friendly Cove extension was got tinder way and was proceeded with, the first gang leaving Victoria on the 1st October, 1913, and started work under the foremanship of Mr. A. V. Porter, beginning at Clayoquot. It was then felt that the construction should not be proceeded with until the cables needed for the water stretches had passed Halifax. This brought us into the winter months and the construction has been carried on under severe difficulties, extreme roughness of the country, the inclement weather and the almost impenetrable forest with which we had to contend has made this work extremely slow. Added to this again it was found impracticable to construct where it was projected when the estimates were drawn up. This has particular reference to Flores island on which the estimate gave about 9 miles, the intention being to take the line across the centre of the island. However. when Mr. Porter attempted to run a preliminary line across the island it was found impossible, the interior of the island being full of dense forests; in fact, I am creditably informed that no white man has ever penetrated the interior. We were forced, there- fore, to keep to the shore line with the result the mileage is 20 miles as against 9 miles in the estimate, all of which was built through densely matted brush and forest. The same conditions apply to the line south of Hesquiot harbour, and, taking it all together, this has been lie most difficult and disappointing piece of construction in the whole of this district. It was found necessary to ask for a revote of part of the appropriation and also an additional vote to enable us to complete the work. It is expected that we shall be able to get the cables laid and the line completed by the end of July or pos- sibly sooner. ALERT BAY-SUQUASH. This line was put under way previous to the arrival of the cables so that it could be put into operation immediately upon arrival, as soon as we could get the necessary length. It was found, that the estimated length of cable for this work was not long enough, and we had to send slightly over half a mile of cable which we happened to have on hand at Victoria, before communication could be effected. Here again we found construction difficult chiefly on account of the dense underbrush and heavy wind falls, which have taken place there annually for several years. However, the line was satis- factorily completed, and now in operation giving the Pacific Coast Coal Mines Com- pany connection with the radio-telegraph station at Alert bay, and they are very )>len=ed with it. JAMKS ISLAND-SAANICHTON LINE. Acting under the instructions of the department last year, -Mr. Henderson pur- chased a mile of cable, which was laid before the line was completed, «nd the tele- phones installed, and regret to say, that upon completion of the land line, and the installation of the telephones, the cables proved to be defective and Line Foreman Porter was instructed to make a thorough examination of it. which he did with the result, that the condemned cable was taken up and a mile section which we had on hand at Nanaimo was put in its place. Mr Moore, the general manager of the Canadian Explosives expressed his great satisfaction at the service, which is being rendered them at their works on Tames island. There have been no interruptions on this line since it was finished. v GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH LINES 101 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 There is now but one relay station between Victoria and Vancouver, that b Parkeville, instead of four, as formerly, This effects a great saving of time, eliminates the possibility of mistakes, and adds to the general efficiency of the service. There has been installed at Campbell river a set of repeaters (Ghegan), which is proving of very great help to our service, and hy placing another sot at Alberoi we expect to l>e able to jjivo n direct service from Victoria to Vancouver. REPORT No. L2— KAMLOOPS, OKANAGAN AND GOLDEN WINDER- MERE. I beg to submit the annual report for this district for the year March 31, 1913, t< March 31, 1914. On August 21, 1913, the office of the district superintendent was made vacant by the death of the late Mr. L. A. Palmer, and the department suffered the loss of a faith- ful and trustworthy servant. From October 10, 1913, to February 28' 1914, Mr. 0. E. Gooding, district super- intendent at Ashcroft, acted as district superintendent of this district ns well. Mr, W. IT. Stevens was appointed district superintendent at Kamloops March 1, L914. GOLDEN-W INDERSIERE SECTION. In September, 1913, this section of 90 miles, was added to Kamloops district. Before that date it was under the district superintendent of Vancouver Island lines. This line should be rebuilt to put it in first-class order, which work is expected to be carried out this season. Last year $4,000 was voted for repairs, but as it was late in the fall before work could be begun, only temporary repairs were carried out- at a cost of $1,107.25. north l'HOMPSOK RIVER SECTION, 64 MILES. This line is badly in need of repairs. It has been badly damaged by the Canadian Northern Railway construction work during the past two years, and only temporary repairs made. In places it is carried on trees for some distance from the wagon road. We have also experienced considerable trouble 'by our line crossing the new railway several times and the work train apparatus breaking our wires frequently' but now that railway construction work is about completed as far as our line rims, the line should be put in good shape this summer and instead of having the lines cross the North Thompson river at Chinook cove, and Chu Chua, do away with these two over- head crossings and run the line across the new Government bridge at Barrier, com- plete the short line between Barrier bridge and Chinook cove and give the settlers phone service on both sides of the river in that district. That would do away with the switch at Geniers, and have it placed at the Barrier where the; new proposed line from liefferley creek around the juouis creek district will come oul at the main North River road. I found that 5,000 feet of cable had been sent up there last year to replace the overhead wires crossing the river, hut was never used and also one piece about 1,000 feet is in the river, with one end broken loose. There is no need for this cable. It ihonld be brought back to Kamloops and used elsewhere. Business is keeping up to the average on this line, although not as heavy as when railway camps were busy with the construction work. This line will have to be re- built next year as the poles arc nearly all rotted and in many places will have to be moved to the new wagon road. 102 DEI'MtTUEXT OF PVBLIO WORKS t 5 GEORGE V, A. 1915 The new proposed line from Hefferley creek around to Louis creek, and the back road with a spur up Sullivan valley, which can be worked from Heil'erley creek, and also a spur from Blucher Hall Po6t office to Adams lake will give service to a large number of bona fide settlers all the way along that route, and will fill a long felt w in that distri All the expenditure on the North River section has boon provided for under mani- tenanee. K AM LOO PS-SAVON AS SECTION. The section of line was completed last October, at a cosl of *2.443.76, and is in splendid working order. Busine-s has increased since it was opened, and we expect to have several more subscribers on it before long. We hope to get the extension of this line to Ashcroft built the coming summer, which will give us direct connection with the Government telephone and telegraph lines, through the Cariboo and Lillooet dis- trict. KAMLOOPS TO VERNON VIA NICOLA AND PRINCETON. The portion of this line between Kamloops and Nicola will have to be overhauled this year, several poles reset and slack taken up, which will then put it in- very good -hape. DOUGLAS LAKE SECTION. This is a spur of 10 miles from Quilchena to Douglas lake, and was built last year at a cost of $772.22. ^lerritt, which is on a spur, 7 miles from Nicola, has a local exchange, which has mown from 64 subscribers to S5 in the past year. Nicola also has a local exchange of 14 subscribers. The line from Nicola to Hamilton Hill was rebuilt two years ago, but from Hamilton Hill to Princeton is in had shape, and needs to be rebuilt. During the past winter and spring there were fre- quent interruptions on account of poles falling. At Princeton there is now a local exchange of 38 subscribers. Frequent inter- ruptions, but of short duration have occurred on this piece of line, mostly caused by killing timber. At Keremeos, H. C. N. Etches was appointed agent on a salary, March 1. Previous to this it was a commission office. At this point we transfer all messages with the Western Union Telegraph Company's lines. The proposed new Government line from Fairview to the boundary, south, connecting up with Oroville, Washington, will be a it benefit to our service, and put our line in direct telephone connection with Spo- kane, and all points south. At Penticton, business has shown up very good for the year. At Vernon our line coming in from Kamloops is on the city electric light poles, from the city boundary to the office. The induction from the electric wires almost de it impossible to use the line in the evening, when the power was turned on. This will lie overcome by running our own pole line into the city, permission having been obtained from the city for right of way, and the work wjll be commenced at once. The Yernon-Lunihy line was also without right of way into the city, and was brought in for a mile or so on the Okanagan Telephone Company's poles for which they charge a rental. Arrangements are being made for a right of way for this line along the south boundary of the city, and connecting with the Kelowna pole line, bringing it on that line to the office. This will overcome the past difficulties we have had. because of no Government right of way, through the city to our office. It is expected that railway construction will begin this summer along the road from Kamloops to Vernon. This should increase business on this section considerably. v GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH LINES 103 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 ROSE 1111,1, SECTION 1 ■> MILES. This piece oi' line was originally used :is a part of (in-' Kamloops-Vernon, but sine last year, when the new section was built direct along the main road from Kamloops, it has been used only for the settlers in that district. It is the intention to make' this a local exchange, to serve the people in that district, and put them on an annual rental basis, but charging them the regular long distance tolls, when using the main line. NAKUSr-EDGEWOOD LINT. This section of 50 miles, which was finished, and added t Delkatlah, and Tow Hill. Telephones were also in- stalled in the telegraph offices mentioned. billooet-Lytton telephone construction. --Construction of this telephone lino, 47 miles, connecting Lillooet with Lytton on the C.P.K. line was begun August 4, 1913, by Foreman S. A. MacFarlane, with a gang of ten ( 10) men. The work was vigorously prosecuted, and the line completed October '■'.

As an indication of the growth and settlement of tin- localities, where these lines operate, and to demonstrate their usefulness, I beg to draw attention to the nurubi r ol messages handled, and the revenue collected in 1907-08, as compared with 1913-14. In 1907-08 the total number of messages was 42,307, and the total revenue $80,440.96, whereas for 1913-14, the number of messages i- 131,723, and the revenue $155,494-08 The prompt and efficient handling of this large volume of business over a single wire indicates to some extent the high proficiency of the staff of operators and circuit man- agers engaged in the service, and the unfailing interest taken by them in accelerating tlic movement of traffic.

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 A. 1915 Department of Public Works, collection op revenue, Ottawa. June 29, 1914. The Secretary, Department of Public Works, Ottawa. Sir. — T have the honour of submitting my report for the twelve months ended March 31, 1914. During the twelve months jusl closed, the revenue accrued from public works shows an increase of $22,190.52, being $270,639.34, while in the preceding year it was $248,448.82. The collections show an increase of $8,769.86, being $255,657.52, while in 1912-13 they amounted to $246,887.66. The revenue accrued from slides and booms was $76,883.53, or $31,889.28 less than for year ended March 31, 1913. The collections were $76,883.22, or $33,225.12 less than the previous year. The outstanding uncollected revenue from slides and booms was increased by 31 cents. The graving docks yielded $61,489.80, or $13,502.29 more than in 1912-13. Sales and rents collected amounted to $117,284.50, an increase of $28,432.69. Having dealt with the revenue in a general way, I now submit the particulars, in detail, relative to the several services under their respective heads. SLIDES AND BOOMS. OTTAWA DISTRICT. The tolls charged up amounted to $24,580.38, or $18,348.40 less than in 1912-13. The number of sawlogs that passed through the works was 3,989,283, or 370,997 pieces le.-s than the previous year. Of square timber there was none. Of the revenue accrued during the year, all but $25.31 was collected. Of the dues accrued since July 1, 18S!>. when this department took over the collection, there remains uncollected $9,145.44, full particulars of which will he found in Statement No. 2 herewith. Of the dues accrued before July 1, 18S9, there still remains $56,805.65, all of which should be written off. See Statements Nos. 1 and 3, herewith, for particulars. The accounts for the Ottawa district stand thus: — Dues accrued during the year to March 31, 1914 .$24,580 38 Outstanding, March 31, 1913 9,120 13 $33,700 51 Collected 24,555 07 Balance outstanding March 31, 1914 .. $9.145 44 19— vi— 14 4 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS vi 5 GEORGE V., A. 1915 Being composed of: — Dues of 1889-90 $6,903 05 " 1890-91 28 42 " 1892-93 379 80 " 1896-97 196 71 " 1903-01 637 37 " 1911-12 723 63 " 1912-13 251 15 " 1913-11 25 31 $9,145 44 Balance of dues outstanding prior to July 1, 1889, when this department took over the collection $56,805 65 Hence are statements in detail. No. 1. — Statement of amounts outstanding prior to July 1, 1889, uncollected March 31, 1914. No. 2. — Statement of dues accrued at Ottawa since July 1, 1889, uncollected March 31, 1914. No. 3. — Statement of dues accrued at Quebec prior to July 1, 1889, uncollected March 31, 1914. No. 4. — Statement of the number of pieces of square timber, sawlogs, etc., which passed through the Ottawa works during the year ended March 31, 1914. No. 5. — Statement of dues accrued from each of the slides and works of the Ottawa district during the year ended March 31, 1914. Apart from the four accounts amounting to $1,028.57, all the revenue from the Ottawa slides and booms, since I took charge in 1889, has been collected, excepting such as should have been written off long ago, or a few items in dispute which I expect will have to be forgiven. The apparent inconsistency between the small difference shown in the number of logs passed through the works during the year 1913-14 and the preceding year, and the wide difference between the revenues of these years, which show a falling-off of $18,348.40 during the past year, calls for explanation. On the main Ottawa, including Cheneaux boom, the deficiency in 1914 was only $125.08, and on the Gatineau river $222.43, which small differences indicate that the quantities of logs brought to the mills were much about the same as in the previous year; the large deficiency was on the subsidiary streams where, in every case but the River Dumoine, the tolls are highest, the shortage being as follows: — River Petewawa $12,526.30, Madawaska $207.83, Coulonge $244.60, Dumoine $52.43, Black river $4,971.55, all less than in 1912-13. Of the total difference, $1S,348.40, those on the Petewawa and Black river account for $17,497.85, leaving less than $1,000 of the deficiency to be distributed over the other sources of revenue in the Ottawa district. On the Petewawa, the cause for shortage was want of water to drive out the logs, although one large drive was purposely hung up by Mr. J. R. Booth, as well as his drive on the Black river, which largely accounts for the shortage on that river. As I understand the case, the works of the Upper Ottawa Improvement Company on the main river became so congested with Mr. Booth's logs in 1912, he agreed not to drive any but such as he had in the main stream during 1913, and so allow the other operators to obtain their logs which had been held back by the accumulation of Mr. Booth's logs hence most of the timber that came through the Cheneaux Boom and Main River Ottawa works were logs that had been previously driven out of the smaller streams, or made on the main river. vi REPORT OF THE COLLECTOR OF REVENUE 5 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 While the outlook for the eurrenl year is very discouraging-, on account of low water due to the scarcity of snow last winter and lack of rain this spring, I look fur b substantial increase which will bring up the revenue to near the normal figure. Although, at the date of this writing, it is feared that unless there is an improvement in the mar future, two of the largest operators will have to close their mills, the water being so low that their logs cannot be brought down in time to supply them. ST. MAURICE DISTRICT. The revenue accrued from this district was $50,009.66, being $11,036.25 less than in 1912-13. The collections amounted to $50,029.66, $10,991.25 less than 1912-13. Uncollected of 1909-10 dues, $3,709.62 disputed. There is also a small account of the past year unpaid, amounting to $5; with the exception of this, $3,714.62, all the dues accrued in this district since I took it in 1892 have been collected. The amount outstanding prior to July 1, 1892, remains unchanged, viz., $14,481.49, and should be written off for reasons assigned in Statement No. 6 herewith. The number of pieces of all kinds of timber that passed through the works was equivalent to 5,760,283 pulp and sawlogs, or 1,541,897 pieces less than the previous year. The revenue in this district has also been disappointing, and that it is so is largely due to two causes, one being that the policy prohibiting the exportation of pulpwood from Crown lands obliged one of the concerns at Three Rivers to restrict their cut to deals, boards, etc. Hence, we have lost the revenue on the large quantity of pulp- wood which they formerly cut up there. The other cause was that the largest paper- mill on the river is making such improvements as precluded the use of the ground on which they formerly stored their wood for winter use. Hence, they held back a very large quantity in the smaller streams and were obliged to purchase wood wherever they could get it all last winter. However, their new storage arrangements are ready, and I look for a large increase in their account for this year. On the whole, the prospects on the St. Maurice just now are the reverse from encouraging. All reports are to the effect that scarcity of water prevails, and unless copious rains soon set in in the north many of the mills will be short of logs this season. As it is, the mills at Three Rivers, up to the 15th inst., were practically idle, and the booms absolutely empty. Hence, up to the present, it is the most discouraging season in my experience of twenty-five years, for never in that time has the water been so low all through the spring, and there does not appear to be much chance of improve- ment in the near future. Nevertheless, there does not seem to be any doubt that the logs laid on the main stream would be available this season, but on the smaller streams where there are storage dams, the lack of water makes the driving of the logs on them appear very dubious, and as many of them are on such streams, it would not be surprising if there should be a serious shortage in the revenue from this district this year. NEWCASTLE DISTRICT. The dues accrued from this district amounted only to $12, being $14.35 less than the previous year, all collected at this date. The tolls outstanding on March 31, 1913, amounted to $3,556.89, of which $3,521.19 should be written off in accordance with a judgment in the Exchequer Court; $35.70 will also have to be forgiven, the debtor being hopelessly insolvent at the time of his decease. Full particulars of amount outstanding will be found in Statement No. 7 herewith. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS 5 GEORGE V.. A. 1915 That the tolls from this district should amount to the insignificant sum of $12 instead of over $1,400 mighi strike one as very peculiar, to say the least. The works at Burleig'h Falls, consisting of a clam and side piers, from which we derive the hulk of the revenue of this district, were very badly shaken in the spring of 1912. Timber was purchased and preparations made to repair these works in the fall of that year, but the water was so high all through the autumn and winter that it was found impossible to make the least progress with them. The spring floods of 1913 carried away the remains of the dam and one side pier completely. Hence the portion remaining was of little or no help to the lumbermen, and no tolls were charged up lest we should have to contest claims for delay and extra expense incurred through the absence of the works. SAGUENAY DISTRICT. The dues accrued during the year ended March 31 last amounted to $2,281.49, all . being $1,069.63 less than in 1912-13. The shortage of $1,069.63 in this district can only be explained by the fact that the largest company obtaining logs through Saguenay boom, now bring a large proportion of them to the mill over the Ha Ha Bay and Saguenay railway, instead of driving them down the Saguenay river. GRAVING DOCKS. ESQUTMALT GRAVING DOCK. The revenue from this service was $21,253.24, being $11,6S9.2S more than the previous year, one account for $403 not included, being unpaid by Naval Department. (See Statement No. 8.) Of the 162 days the dock was occupied during the year, it was used for 37 days by H. M. and C. G. vessels. The total number of vessels docked was twenty-five, of 57,210 tons. LEVIS GRAVING DOCK. The revenue was $1,971.12 more than for the year 1912-13, being $30,334.67. (See Statement No. 9.) During the season of navigation, the dock was occupied for 302 days by twenty-one i Is of 34,203 tons. During the winter of 1913-14, it was occupied by ss. Lord Strathcona and Cascapedia, and dredges International and Progress. KINGSTON' GRAVING DOCK. The revenue was $10,000. On May 1, 1910, the Kingston Shipbuilding Company took possession of the dock under lease, the rental of which, $10,000 per annum, was payable at the end of each year. RENTS. With regard to the collection of the rentals under leases granted by this depart- ment, which was formerly done by the Inland Revenue Department, — Statements Nos. 10 and 12 show in detail the condition on March 31, 1914, of the accounts taken over on March 31, 1909, from the Inland Revenue Department. Statement No. 11 shows the condition of land sales and interest account, also from Inland Revenue Department, which shows no change for many years. vi REPORT OF THE OOLLEOTOB OF i;i\i:\i i: 7 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19 Several of the unsettled accounts are of many years' standing, some are under investigation, and others, I expect, will have to be written off, for good and sufficient reasons. Exclusive of the above mentioned rentals, the revenue accrued from Government properties has been an important item, being in 1013-14, including sales and interest, $128,643.90, or $40,433.40 more than in L912-13. Of this sum, $113,929.50 was collected; $0,370.95 written off for commission and expenses, in lieu of repairs, or on a inl of poverty, and $19,316.80 was outstanding at the close of the year. The greater portion of the increase in this account is due to the rentals from property on Wellington street, and streets adjoining, expropriated or purchased for new building sites, and Toronto Post Office site. A considerable portion of the amount uncollected is retained by tenants, pending settlement of their claims for compensation under leases, and for other reasons. I expect that, with the exception of a few small accounts, the most of this indebtedness will be cleared off this year as to these properties. The amount outstanding may appear large, but it must be borne in mind that included therein are Sussex Street rents, carried over from last year, and $1,333.34 due on sale in New "Westminster, B.C. In the case of the Sussex Street rents, most of the buildings, since demolished, were old and in very bad condition; only the poorer class of people would rent them, and when these, as in many instances, were overtaken by sickness and other misfor- tunes, we could not put them on the street, and they could not pay: hence the source of this deficit, which will have to be written off in many cases. The Wellington Street properties are being well looked after by four agents, and I do not anticipate much loss in the rentals from this source. The large increase in this account has been a serious load in this office; neverthe- less, I am glad to say that it has been kept well up to date.
