Q +>0« INTRODUCTION. The following Report is the result of a Survey ordered by the County Council of Ontario, in pursu- ance of a recommendation in the Report of the Standing Committee on Roads and Bridges appoint- ed by that body, as follows : — " That in view of the importance, of having the " advantages of a Canal Route through this County, " duly ascertained ; your Committee would recora- " mend that a sum not exceeding $600, be appro- " priated in ascertaining by a Survey, the advantages " and practicability, of a route through this County '' for the making a Canal connecting the Georgian " Bay, with Lake Ontario, and that the same be ex- " pended under the direction of your Committee." The appropriation was only designed to obtain a preUminary Survey, shewing the practicability of the Route through the County of Ontario, and its advantages, as compared with other proposed routes ; consequently, Mr. Keeper, the Engineer employed by the Chairman of the Committee has not entered into calculations, or figures of cost in his report.

The renewed importance which has been given to a Geor-. gian Bay Canal, since the diversion of Western trade from the Mississippi to the great Lakes, has itiduoed your County Au- thorities to undertake this examination, in order to bring for- ward the merits ot the Scugog route, in competition with the -;.. r ■■*»**,«£•««»•• ^W"***" **•*•<•■)■ „y..-^ , ' Hi i;g| i- i'l 3 . 10 only one hitherto agitated, that by the valleys of the Holland and Humber rivers — west of Toronto. !Pefore pi^oceeduig if^ giv.^ the ri^t^t o^b|^ ess^m^ijiatbnK ^ will refer to the question of a caqal betyreen I^akes Hurpu and Ontario, generally in order to shew, that the two routes above mentioned, are the only direct ones, which offer any induce* xnents for consideration. The object sought by the Georgian Bay Canal in contradis- tinction to the Welland route, via Lake Erie, on the one hand, and the Ottawa route, via Lake Nipiasing on the other, is to afford a navigation which shall avoid the detour, and extra Insurance of Lakes Brie and St. Olair, — the Detroit and St. Clair Rivers, and especially the shoals known as the "St. Clair flats ;'' and at the same time give a route, not only to Mon- treal— -but froiijL Chicago to NewYork, via Q9V}effQy which the Ottawa route could not do. The. height and bireadth of tlae dividing ridges betweeii Huron and Ontario, make it imp]ractii-< c^blc to nae the w^ti^s of tih^ $>rmer as a feeder and thusr ob- tain the min^mun^ lockage, as is tbe ca,se between Erie and Ontario, on the route of the WeHand C^nal; — a higher in* termodiate level mudt therefore be resorted to but there is a shortening of the route, between Chicago, and Oswego of 250. miles, to be — set off against the increased lockage required on the Georgian Bay route. . i , The range within which a canal route be^iween Huron and Ontario can be sought for, is limited to the valley of Lake Sim- coe, which is common to every route : and, as already mention- 1 it n ed, this L^A^Q mt^jr h^ €(ntter94 f»oii« Lajk;e H^v<>ii> eUbev from th,€) moiVlih^ of tbo ^Qlt>^wasag£Vt or S^-epD rivers*: l»ut th« iiaage by wl^ioh QomwumontiQa l}et^\y;«Qi) Lal^e Simooe i^nd Xi^ke Oor t^cio is pQi^]l>lj9 ifl omcH: W¥lev>. extending irom tbo Humber Vi^Uey, WQa% ot Toronto, to the wofttb of the Treat ia the Bay oiQainte* > ,^ .; i .v ; , ; . >. , As the extreme Eastern outlet, (altho) the natural one, em- braces a length of Navigation ot over 200 miles between Huron and Ontario, in addition to the maximum lockage, it cannot come into competition with either of the other routes in point oi distance, and the question then arrises whether the difficul- ties in overcoming the natural barriers between Simcoe and Ontario on any direct route, w.9.^1d iorqe a resort to the ciroui- tons one of the inland waters. ';;" -i •; ,. To this it may be sa?d that there is evidently a limit within which the route ot a Georgian Bay Canal may be lengthened, because, with the inevitable excess of lockage, a direct route is the only one which could, on commercial grounds alone, be advocated in competition with the enlargement of the Welland Canal ; a canal which has the advantage not only of the mini- mi^m Lockage and co^t, but also of accommodating the trade ot Lake ^I'io, as well as that of Huron, Michigan, and Superior. In a military point of view there would be an advantage in favor of a Georgian Bay route, (besides the local benefits con- ferred) over any enlargement ot the Welland, or of a second canal on that route : and if the St. Claii' Fiats may be regard- ed ^s a perms^nent obsta aaid Superior, would be very decided. As a tnero tailitary work, t^e extreme Eastern I'oate klt*eadymontionod; by the Trent and Bay of Quinte, might be pi-'eterred j but If oommei*oial oonsidi* efations prevail the question of routci will bo' limited to the township ot York and Whitby. In these oompai'iHons thd qlu'S^ tion of cost is omitted, the surv^yj^ whiclvhavo boon made not having been carried fai,v,jenougli to give thu, data iQV univing at the jjrobable cost upon an^i ot the routes, ttl though ^'uough is known to shew that any direct nuvigatiuii bctwuoij the Geor- gian Bay and Ontario ixi^u^t be a ,c.98tly nudorti^khig in pro- portion to i^ length. . • .., .*,.),. The old surveyed route; «m the Trent tind Day Qitintc, would evade ilie formidable ridges South of Lake Himcoe, but, from tlie extent of shoal water and rock wliioh would be encounter- ed upon the route, the cosj: for a. deep water navigation, such as. is now demanded by the exigencies of the thi'ough commerce would probably be as great a total, (though not so great per mile), as upoi) the shorter routes, •• ., , With the preliminary remarks, I Will now dasovlbe the na- tural obstacles to direct navigation botweou Lake Simcoc and Ontarioj to follow which it is necessary to bear in juind that Lake Huron is 340 and Lake Simooo 47D foot above the level Ontario. ;«,tiiV>*l i .it}l\(il Vfli'l i,i.n''l";i ■ * li'lM 'U/I.i The peninsula of Eastern Canada, f\'ora the banks of the Nia- gara river, the natural outlet for the •waters of the Upper Lakes, rises gradually from an elevation of about 360 feet, & f iV above Ontario at the Great Western Railway near the Suspen- sion Bri Scugog Lake stands about 575 feet above Lake Ontario, so that the highest ground between it and Simcoe would be about 75 feet above the level of the former — while the extreme sum- mit of the ridge between it and Ontario would be 212 feet above Scugog Lake, on the lowest — but 234 feet on the short- est route. The hilly country between Scugog and Simcoe — the difticulty of following the timbered and swampy valleys, and the circuit required by reason of so many road allowances being closed— make repeated levelling necessary to ensure exactness. I think, however, the above figures will not be seriously altered by a more careful survey. .fit' ■.•OiiU'V SUPPLY OP WATER. ■/::»• 't The first question which presents itself iil projiedting a Canal 16 between Simcoe and Onta»*io, via Scligog, is a supply ot water. ?;,'..,•,■ hu'i ^r. vjj.it '.T.ritM -^I'.-^ih '; ' The plan which theretorr' appears to me the most feasible, would be, to make Balsam Lake or Gull River, the feeder, the waters of which could be had at an elevation of nearlv GOO feet above Ontario, and to throw a sufficient quantity of these into the Talbot River and condtict them by a feeder towards Cannington, in Brock, near which it \W>nld strike the line of the proposed navigation. With a feeder, at a level say 15 feet above Scugog, the length of Jthe cutting between Scngog and Simcoe would- be still a lotig one, Say mne miles, averaging ii :lt V ;M!."r. IT; 25 teet, will] the exception 6f the bait tnile oi suAHnit-^-whoi'^ thfrotitlini^ woUld reach 70 feet. If Gtkil rivbr cait be tapped abdve the level oi BaUam Lbke^ the height of the ridge or spur^' before desciibed^ betweeo the East Branch of the Beaver Creek, and the bead water of Talbot River) is Buoh tliat it should earry^ a feeder on a highei level than Balsam Lnlxc, and thut illtain U greater command of the ridge between Simcoo and Scugog. Of course every foot added to the height of feeder, would add two to the lockage of the route, but, within certain lii^its, this would be preferable to long deep cuttings in the bottom of valleys which have high banks, or in swamps. ) lij-ii mi"» With respect to the supply of water which could be afforded frofn Gull tti\&f, of Balsam Lake, I am of opinion that it could b6 materially increased by ImpoUttdlng the flood watfera in the Lakes which are tlie sources of this fttream, rior do I doubt that a survey would shew & furthef sUpJJly bouM be jldded by diverting the Wateid from the sources of Attch. streams as the Muskoka, Madi^Waska, PettewaWa, or Burnt Rivei-, or some of these. X have generally found that the chains of Lakes which occupy the " height of land,'* are divided often by low and nar- row l^arrier8,< and that water may be ^turned from the higher iftto the lower without serious difficulty. /Odia" 'ijili. If the feeder be maintained on a l6Vel ^bOVe th6 Scttgdg Lftke, th« €aiial need not enter this Lake at all, (except by lobks io? tbei purpose of branch imvigation,) unless the Lake were r^ed tiei the level of the Canal 1}y a dam at its outlet^ which Would not probably be entertained; lui^ead of this thi^ B ■u»s; i^ I I i \U I I '. 9, ^^^ ^ at the junction oi the Fine Ridges. character of the Bum^ over, in '*« """l^ .h.ridao i» » *>"" ^ <-.v,«riaBei»««>'' d.e«n on*« «f *' ^ "«> *»* *" •^'^, IVort Hope which m»wn»^ " * . .. iinamy on the Sougog i Toronto, .ndaga^n at Lu> ^ a,,oiaof*«»e. .

It would be better for the Canal if it had a continuous towing path (like the Welland) from Huron to On- tario, as both these Lakes are well adapted for Bailing craft. Since the feeder will leave the Talbot River valley, it may be found practicable to continue upon it, as the main line of Canal, and descend from thence to Lake Couchiching or Severn bridge, — or the Canal may keep "bove the Lake level, from the shore near Beaverton, to the same points, and thus avoid the cost of a harbor^ dredging, towage, &c., which are involved by enter- ing the Lake. LOCKAGE. The total lockage on this route would be very heavy, amount- ing to 840 feet, or about 500 feet greater than that upon the Welland Canal. The lockage upon the Holland and Humber Rivers route, with Lake Simcoe as the feeder, would be 230 feet less than this, as that Lake is 100 feet lower than Scugog, and 115 feet lower than the proposed summit or feeder level of a Canal through the County of Ontario ; but the obstacles are so groat to any route with a feeder so low as Lake Simcoe, that I am of opinion the extra lockage would be preferred to at- tempting the long deep cutting between the Holland and Hum- ber Uivei-s.
