Warden and Council of the County
To the
Gentlemeni.
I beg to report that I have examined a portion
of the Original Allowance for Road between the Townships
of Yarmouth and Southwold which lies between Lot Letter A
in the Gore in Southwold and Lot Number one in the ninth
Concession of the Tównship of Yarmouth and find that saiä
portion of the Original Allowance is useless to the public
and unfit for a Road. I have also examined the new or
travelled public road laid out in lieu of said Original
Allowance for road and find that said new or travelled
public road is laid out across part of said Lot Letter A
in the Gore in the Township of Southwold and is sufficient
for the purposes of a public highway.
I ~herefore beg to report that the owner of that
part of said Lot Letter A through which said new or travel-
led public road runs is entitled to part of said Original
Allowance as embraced in the following description, viz.
Commencing on the West limit of the Qriginal
Allowance for Road between the Townships of Yarmouth and
Southwold at the North Easterly angle of Lot Letter A.
Then South along the West limit of said Original
Allowance, seventeen chains and fifty links more or less
to the travelled road laid out in lieu of said Original
Allowance.
Thence Easterly to the East limit of said Original
Allowance four rods more or less thence North sêvent-een.
chains and fifty links more or less along the East limit of
said Original Allowance for road between Yarmouth and South-
wold tOa~~oint where the North limit of said Lot A. would
intersect said East limit of said Original Allowance if pro-
duced thereto.
