The Leader Store .CHINA, CUT GLASS, GROCERIES AND FRUITS Centre and Yonge Streets Richmond Hill Phone 8 The original Midland Railway Company engineers se- cured maps of Scarboro and in England located their road in Con. C, D, I. II and III on astrip of land half off lot 27 and and half off lot 28, thus taking land at the side of farms and not dividing property. ‘ When the surveys for the railwéy were made, however, it was found that the lot lines jogged and every one and one-quarter miles you will find a sharp curve where the railway’s right-ofâ€"way in one Concession is joined with the railway right-of-way in the adjoining Concession. The same explanation holds in varied form for all the townships of York that were originally laid out on the same system of survey as Markham, namely, Vaughan, King, Whitchurch, East Gwillimbury and York, north of Eglinton Avenue. Etobicoke has five different systems, Scarboro two and Georgina one. An interesting variation of this sideline jogging may be noticed on the Midland Division of the Canadian National Railway at Agincourt, Scarboro. In this section of Scarâ€" boro the Concession roads run East and West and the side- roads North and South. The sideroads, however, were laid out differently. For the first sideroad in Con. I a distance of 6,600 feet was measured north on Y onge Street from the townline and a stake planted every one-quarter mile for the lots and the stake for the north west corner of the fifth lot was the south east corner of the sideroad and Yonge Street and so to the north limit of the township. When the road called the Second Concession was surveyed a stake was planted 6,600 feet from the township line and this was the point of beginning of the first sideroad in Con. II. The second side- road was 6,600 feet north of the first and so on. The side- roads in Con. I and Con. II were run and chopped clear but while in theory they should have been in line they missed because in chaining Yonge Street and the Second Concession Road identical care was not taken and While both distances were supposed to be 6,600 feet or multiples thereof one or both were something else. By studying a good map of York you will notice jogs on the Langstafi‘ Road atveach Concession. If the Yonge Street measurement is correct then the measurement on the Second fell short. On the third not so short and on the Fourth shorter still but on the Fifth the measurement com- pared with Yonge Street. The road locally called the Second (Bayvlew Avenue) or the first road east was set off on the York Townline (base line) presumably parallel to Yonge Street and 6,600 feet, (one and one-quarter miles) east thereof and the third Les- lie Street) 6,600 east of the second, etc. If you travel these Concession roads you will find they continue to the north throughout the township without a jog. For the Township of Markham, Yonge Street was the nOrth and south base line and the York townline the east and west base line and you will notice that both base lines extend without jogs for the full length of the township and beyond. 7 7 7 7 . For the purpose of the explanation we Will take the sec- ond sideroad in the Township of Markham, that is the road between Lots 35 and 36, Con. I and its continuation easterly between Lots 10 and 11, Con. II to XI, inclusive,Markham. For years I puzzled over the jogs in the sideroads of our County. Almost without exception, at the crossing of the concession roads by the sideroads the sideroads jog to the right or to the left. To understand the cause of these unâ€" necessary diversions one must study the system of survey used in laying out the townships, GRAINING.
