ABSTR‘CT OF GENERAL REMARKS. W

distance from the North to the South side {Soul-is

harbor) is about nine miles. Ronnn'r BOSWALL.

LOT 46.

LOT 50 .

The general quality of land on this Township is good. The roads are passable. With respect to markets, there is no part of the Lot distant more than ﬁve or six miles from Vernon River Bridge—

Although the East end ofthe Island is almost sur- one of the best shipping places in the Township;

rounded by water, yet very much inconvenience is felt from tho want of harbors; and the distance from

any market causes a great deal oftrouble to the in- W

habitants hauling their produce to market.

The Baltic Road settlement is principally very in‘ ferior land, with but an indiﬂ'erent road, only lately opened. Greenvale, in the interior of the Lot, is very inconveniently situated, on account of bad roads; the nearest market is Souris. Glencorodale, which is a new settlement, with but middling land and very indifferent roads, is very much inconven- ienced in regard to markets; the inhabitants have to bring their produce through to the North side, and from thence to Souris. JAMES MCVEAN.

LOT 47.

The soil of Lot 47 is generally good; scarcely any portion of it being unﬁt for cultivation, excepting about 1000 acres of barren sandhills, which being included in the area of the Lot, is levied on annual- ly for arrears of land tax. Although this Township is nearly surrounded with water, yet being entirely destitute of harbors, and in an exposed position, Shipowners rarely venture to take freights off the coast, after the middle of October; and the road to Souris—the nearest place of shipment and about 15 miles distant—being one of the most hilly on the Island, the inhabitants are in a great measure cut off from the advantage of an autumnal exportation of their surplus produce.

Owing to the foregoing geographical disadvan- tages, agricultural produce never commands such a high price at: the East Point as it does in most other parts of Prince Edward Island.

LOT 48.

A great part of the land in this Township is of good quality, and capable of producing fair crops; but there are other portions, especially those remote from the shores, which will never yield more than a scanty remuneration to the agriculturist, as the soil is generally composed of white sand, and swampy. These latter remarks refer chieﬂy to the lands at the upper end of the Lot, occupied princi- pally by Irish inhabitants from Monaghan. The roads through the settlement above referred to are bad, and likely to continue so for some time, owin to the swampy nature of the land; those through the other parts of the settlement are fair. The principal markets for produce are Charlottetown, and the

Ferry opposite that city. ROBERT MU'rcH.

LOT 49.

There are seven school-houses and two churches on this Township. Governor’s Island has no inha- bitants. It is owned and cultivated by Robert Gay; thiwstics of his produce, &c., are included in tan-atom: of this Township.

China Point Wharf is also a good shipping place, as vessels drawing twenty-two or twenty-three feet of ater can load in the harbor.

LOT 51.

1. Quality of land—«The land in general on this Township appears to be of an average quality; about one-halfof it is ofthe ﬁrst, one-third is ofthe second, and the residue is of the third quality.

2. Roads and water communications --The Township is pretty well intersected by roads, with the excep- tion of that portion of it South of Montague River, the only road there being nothing better than a win- ter timber road. The main post road leading from Charlottetown to Georgetown interects the middle of the Lot East and West. Baldwin’s Road runs North- ward from the main post road, and connects it with the Pisquid road leading from the head of Cardigan, and crossing Lot 51 to Mount Stewart Bridge, af- fording communication between the Cardigan and Hillsborough Rivers. The Union road runs South from the main post road, and connects with Sparrow’s road to the South, which crosses the Lot East and West, and leads to Montague Bridge.

3. Markets—To the inhabitants of the South end ofthe Township, Montague Bridge offers the nearest and most advantageous market; from them it is dis- tant about two and a half miles; from those in the central parts, about six miles; and from the Northern settlements, about nine miles; it is the chief market, and that most resorted to by the inhabitants ofthe Lot, and where the greater portion of the produce is shipped; much of the produce, however, ﬁnds its way to Georgetown, Cardigan, Brudenell and Hills- borough Rivers. Georgetown is distant, on an average, about ten miles, and Brudenell Wharf and the Hillsborough respectively, about eight miles from the Northern settlements on the Township. The new bridge now in course of erection on Cardigan, River, will afford—from its proximity to the North- ern portions of the Lot—the most convenient place of exportation. JAMES MACDONALD.

LOT 52.

The quality of land on this Township (as shewn by the returns) is, with few exceptions, “ second.” The enumerator is of opinion that it would hear a higher rating. The Southern half is a. light soil, but easily cultivated. About the middle of the Township, and towards the North end, is a portion of swamp; but where the land is dry, ‘it appears to be of excellent quality. The Township, generally, is level, possessing a good quantity of ﬁrewood, rails, and timber for building purposes. ‘ The South- ern half is well situated as regards both roads and water communication; the furthest settlers, with the exception. of a few at the North and. about Morel], being within eleven miles of Georgetown; nine of Montague Bridge; eight pf Brudenell Wharirand
