Engineer's Report on the road in rear of lots No. 12 & 13
in the 3rd concession Yarmouth. - Dated 25th July 1859.
Daniel Hanvey - Engineer
To the Reeve and Councillors of the Township of Yarmouth
in the County of Elgin in Council assembled.
Gentlemen:
In relation to the road in rear of lots number
12 & 13 in the 3rd concession of said Township
I beg to Report -
That many years since the Government allowance for
road in rear of said lots was overflowed by the waters of a
mill-pond, therefore, it was necessary, at that time, to lay
out a public road across the north ends of said lots No. 12
& 13 in the said third concession, to be used in place of
the said Government allowance which was then overflowed.
Lately the said mill-pond became useless and the
said Government allowance has been made into a well-graded,
well--gravelled, and where necessary, a well-bridged road,
and it is now, in every respect, fit and convenient for
public travel.
The original owners, from whom the present owners
derived their titles, received no compensation for the land
taken for the laid out road.
James Armstrong is now the owner of lot No 12 and
Isaac Miner is the owner of said lot No. I).
All which is respectfully submitted.
