I then surveyed the east branch of the Ruseons trop► the Merave fora line to its junction with the main streams at the Malden Road, a distance of two smiles sad a half nearly, and find a fall of twelve feet in maid distance. The east. bmaaeb crosses the line of the 6th and 7th concessions six timer, come. quently I propose to cut the drain straight on the wo «t bide of the road allowance ss far north as the Malden Road, thence west on the south side of the Malden Road to the, main stream, making the distance much shorter than it would be by follow_ fog the tortuous windings of the stream, besides, the road will be made fire whole length of the earl braouh.
