Torrance, Deputy Minister of Lands\nThe large-scale development which British Columbia is experiencing is, of\ncourse, affecting the activities of all departments of our governmental structure.\nHowever, in this development the Lands Service occupies a unique position. With\nthe continuous expansion of the economy of the Province, the demand for Crown\nland has become more and more intense and, consequently, important decisions\nmust be made daily in allocating the Crown land resource to its best use in the\ninterests of all of the people.\nThe Lands Service is also charged with providing the framework of maps and\nsurveys so necessary for the orderly development and settlement of British Columbia.\nInvolved is a great variety of techniques and equipment which must support our\ncomplex surveying and mapping organization. In many ways the science of surveying and mapping serves the people by keeping pace with development through the\napplication of modern technological advances.\nA large part of the work load of the Lands Service is involved in providing\nservices to other governmental agencies, such as by way of maps, air photography,\nvarious types of surveys, ground examination reports, etc. To an extent not generally realized, the Lands and Surveys and Mapping Branches are \" service\"\norganizations.\nSeveral administrative changes involving senior Lands Service personnel took\nplace during 1967. After a distinguished career in the public service, first in the\nForest Service and since 1954 as Deputy Minister of Lands, Mr. E. W. Bassett\nretired on July 31, 1967.\nIn the latter months of the year the administrative lines of the Department\nwere reorganized, with the offices of the Director of Lands and Assistant Director\nof Lands superseding those of the Superintendent of Lands and Assistant Superintendent of Lands. A new position of Departmental Co-ordinator was also created.\nThe organization chart on the page preceding this introduction illustrates the major\npersonnel structure of the Lands Service.\nLands Service net revenue collections of $2,985,996 in 1967 were below those\nof the previous year, mainly as the result of a decline in revenue from land sales.\nOn the other hand, proceeds from leases, miscellaneous rentals, and fees rose by\nmore than $400,000 over 1966, to a new high record of $1,917,435. Revenue\nfrom the sale of maps and aerial photographs also increased substantially in 1967.\nAs tabulated in the report of the Land Inspection Division, the number of\ncompleted land examinations reflected a mixed trend compared with 1966, being\nlower in nine land inspection districts and higher in eight others. However, the\ntotal number of requests for inspections was 3 per cent higher.\nSince the lease-develop-purchase policy of agricultural land alienation was\nfirst adopted in 1962, a growing number of inspections under the Land Act have\nbeen in connection with leases. As recently as 1960, only one-third of all inspections were for leases, whereas by 1967 the proportion had doubled to two-thirds.\nOn the other hand, examinations for purchase fell from 36 per cent of the total in\n1960 to 10 per cent in 1967. It is expected, however, that as improvements on\nlands under lease are completed and purchase options exercised, the disparity will\ndiminish.\n9\n DD 10     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nPre-emption records issued by the Lands Branch were only one-third of the\n1958-67 average of 78, thus continuing pre-emption's steady decline as a method\nof Crown land alienation. Certificates of purchase, which numbered 503 in 1967,\nwere also considerably below the 10-year average of 963. This can be attributed to\nthe greater emphasis now being placed by the Department on lease-hold alienation.\nLeases increased from 1,245 in 1966 to 2,401 this year and were well above the\n10-year average of 1,122. The acreage leased was also much higher, 579,092 acres,\ncompared with 220,802 acres annually for the 1958-67 decade.\nThe Lands Branch continued its policy of subdividing and providing road\naccess to lots in areas having a usually high public demand for Crown land. A total\nof 403 lots was serviced at nine locations throughout the Province, mostly for\nhome-sites or summer cottages. The Green Lake subdivision north-east of 70 Mile\nHouse attracted more than 300 people to the Land Commissioner's office in\nClinton, where, early in the summer, 109 lots were offered for lease by public\nauction. During 1967 a total of 430 lots was leased by auction throughout the\nProvince, and 55 were leased by tender. Only one parcel was offered for sale by\ntender, and 21 for sale by auction.\nThe Legal Surveys, Topographic, Geographic, and Air Divisions of the Surveys and Mapping Branch experienced a busy year.\nIn 1967 the Legal Surveys Division surveyed a total of 307 waterfront lease\nlots on Stave Lake, Hannah Lake near North Bend, Cluculz Lake, Fraser Lake,\nBabine Lake, Rail Lake near Lac la Hache, and Sandspit. Sixty roadside lots\nwere created on the Cariboo Road near Williams Lake, 22 lots on the Blackwater\nRoad south-west of Prince George, one at Chilliwack Lake, and one near Lillooet.\nOther cadastral surveys included such diverse jobs as a vocational-school property\nat Kamloops, a cemetery at Hazelton, Government parking-lots in Victoria, and\na historical site at Seton Lake.\nA total of 60.3 miles of Provincial highway right-of-way was surveyed in three\nprojects. These were a section of Route No. 95 between Spillimacheen and\nMcMurdo, Tabor Lake to Purden Lake east of Prince George, and Nicola Lake to\nStump Lake north of Merritt.\nThe far-flung tasks of the Topographic Division took field survey crews into\ndistant parts of British Columbia. One of the largest field parties in recent years,\nsome 45 men, worked on triangulation and levelling surveys in the north-eastern\ncorner of the Province. The results should be immediately beneficial to the\npetroleum and natural-gas industry for determining the location and elevation of\ndrilling-sites. The Air Division workshop made special modifications to the\ninstrument tripods for use in muskeg.\nSurvey control for topographic mapping was concentrated in National Topographic Blocks 104a and 104b north and east of Stewart. Through extensive use\nof a helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft, control was laid down for 17 National\nTopographic manuscripts.\nCadastral survey control monumentation was continued in a dozen municipalities, and Integrated Survey Area No. 1, covering part of Surrey Municipality, was\ndeclared by Order in Council in June, 1967. In the West Kootenay a co-operative\nproject with the Geodetic Survey of Canada saw the designation of a triangulation\nnetwork between Trail and Creston and north along Kootenay Lake and the Arrow\nLakes to Revelstoke.\nPhotogrammetric compilation was finished for 8V2 National Topographic\nmap-sheets and parts of two others, while 28 standard topographic manuscripts at\n2-inches-to-l-mile scale were draughted in full detail for reproduction in Ottawa\nas National Topographic maps at 1:50,000 scale.\n LANDS SERVICE REPORT\nDD 11\nThe Geographic Division lithographed 15 maps, of which seven were entirely\nnew. Included in the latter was Map SGS-1, a 10-colour print of Vancouver\nIsland at l-inch-to-6-miles scale. The combination of shaded relief and elevation\ntinting resulted in a particularly attractive map which has proven to be very popular.\nThe total number of maps distributed to Government departments and the\ngeneral public continued its upward trend, reaching 114,723, some 19,183 higher\nthan in 1966 and more than double the total a decade ago. The value of maps\nsold and distributed also rose to an all-time high record of $73,550.\nThe Air Division's two aerial photographic detachments logged 706^ hours\non 83 projects and exposed 34,540 negatives. Both figures represent new records.\nAs indicated by the number of hours flown and negatives exposed, the projects\nvaried widely in flying-time and number of photographs recorded. For example,\na major project for the Department of Agriculture in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region\nproduced 4,515 photos in 144:45 hours. On the other hand, only 15 minutes were\nneeded to obtain five photos of The Woodlands School at the request of the\nDepartment of Public Works.\nDuring 1967, orders were received for more than 290,000 aerial photographs\non loan or reprint. Though this is slightly below last year's total, it is well above\nthe 10-year average of 222,000.\nA noteworthy ceremony which was arranged in the past year by the Surveys\nand Mapping Branch was the dedication on the summer solstice, being June 21st,\nof the site of British Columbia's Centennial survey monument. This was especially\ninteresting because on that day similar ceremonies took place at Ottawa and in\neach of the Provincial capitals across Canada as well as at Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. The simultaneous ceremonies were inspired by the Advisory Council on\nCadastral Surveys, comprised of the Surveyors-General and Directors of Survey of\nOttawa and the Provinces. The site chosen here was one in the new Museum-\nArchives precinct, and the Honourable R. W. Bonner, Attorney-General, gave the\ndedication address and unveiled the monument. The monument itself, as well as\nbeing precisely located with respect to those in the other parts of Canada, commemorates the establishment in the century 1867-1967 of the North American Survey\nDatum across the continent from ocean to ocean, a network of thousands of points,\nprecisely located, interconnected and permanently marked in which all surveys may\nbe integrated. A testimony to the many surveyors and engineers for their contribution in this field, the Centennial monument, now being constructed, will be artistic\nand worthy of the site chosen for it.\nFor a full description of the achievements during 1967 of the British Columbia\nLands Service (including the University Endowment Lands administration and the\nLand Settlement Board), the reader is commended to the main body of this Annual\nReport, which follows.\n  ACCOUNTING DIVISION\n  ACCOUNTING DIVISION\nDD  15\nACCOUNTING DIVISION\nM. B. Maclean, B.Com., Departmental Comptroller\nThis Division carries out the accounting function for both Lands Service and\nWater Resources Service, and in all phases of its function\u2014that is, payroll, expenditure, and revenue\u2014the Division has experienced another busy year. During the\nsummer of 1967 the operations of the Surveys and Mapping Branch were by far the\nmost extensive in recent years. While there was no increase in permanent establishment during the year, temporary assistance and temporary field personnel required\nto carry out the 1967 summer field programme were considerably larger than in\nprevious years and placed a heavy strain on our payroll section. The number of\nvouchers processed during the year was also considerably higher than normal.\nThe revenue section of the Division has been taxed almost to the limit of its\ncapability despite the fact that as many short cuts as possible have been implemented\nwithout jeopardizing control. New leases, assignments, reviews, and expiries have\nbeen at an all-time high record during 1967, and, in addition to this, over 24,400\npieces of money mail were processed.\nIn respect of revenue, lease accounts again increased substantially, from 8,861\nat January 1, 1967, to 10,440 at December 31, 1967, an increase of 17.8 per cent.\nLand sales accounts, on the other hand, declined from 1,227 at January 1, 1967,\nto 875 at December 31, 1967.\nAs a result of the continued leasing policy in regard to applications for agricultural lands, lease revenues have continued to rise. While a number of these leases\nhave been converted to purchases, that number has not yet been sufficiently large to\novercome the net decline in purchase accounts. Purchase revenue during 1967\nshows a decrease of some $770,000, which is explained as follows: Firstly, 1966\nrevenue included sales of lands to the City of Prince George totalling over $700,000,\nwhile in 1967 sales to the same city amounted to only slightly over $100,000, and,\nsecondly, the steady decline in the number of purchase accounts due to the leasing\npolicy.\nStatistical Tables\nTable 1.\u2014Summary of Lands Service Net Revenue Collections for the\nYear Ended December 31, 1967\nLand leases, rentals, fees, etc  $1,917,435.31\nLand sales ._       916,098.98\nSale of maps and air photos        152,462.32\nNet revenue collections  $2,985,996.61\n DD 16     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nTable 2.\u2014Comparison of Revenue Collections for 10-year\nPeriod 1957-67, Inclusive\n1958 aMMBMnnm $1,340,045.76\n1959 MMMHaaM 1,323,877.29\n1960 BiMMn_n\u00abM___BHi 1,714,220.41\n1961 _________________HWBMMaMMM_\u00ab 1,765,207.54\n1962 BnnMBnnnnnH 1,847,457.83\n1963 BHn__n___n>_BH_anHH 2,034,841.80\n1964 \u25a0\u25a0HlH____^___.________H__._______.i______i 2,587,110.34\n1965 Hnon_MHHHnnBHMi 2,594,341.32!\n1966 \u25a0M____a__HMiMHM_MHn_______a   3,343,672.461\n1967 iH__H__________B______H______l_______Hi        2,985,996.611\n1 Net revenue.\nTaWe 3.\u2014Classification of Revenue Collections for the Year Ended\nDecember 31, 1967\nLand sales\u2014\nCountry lands  $668,949.89\nTown lots     244,075.72\nSurface rights, mineral claims         6,293.85\nLand leases, rentals, fees, etc.\u2014\nForeshore leases\u2014\nBooming and log storage  $302,745.18\nCommercial (marinas, etc.)      518,409.66\nOyster       11,668.89\nMiscellaneous   (foreshore protection, etc.)   825,00\n$833,648.73\nLand leases\u2014\nGrazing and (or) agriculture  $259,970.90\nQuarrying   (limestone,   sand  and\ngravel)       44,859.67\nCamp-site (lodge, fishing)          9,389.09\nHome-site          1,464.18\nResidential     156,122.55\nMiscellaneous      157,217.18\n     629,023.57\nLand-use permits         3,555.10\nLicences of occupation       29,922.62\nRoyalty collections     162,895.18\nBonus bids (lease tenders and auctions) ....       64,064.94\nEasement collections\u2014\nAnnual rentals       $3,079.77\nOutright considerations      53,369.48\n       56,449.25\nFees\u2014\nCrown grant  $8,360.00\nAssignment  3,615.00\nMiscellaneous (lease, search, etc.) 12,096.00\n24,071.00\nSundry collections  (occupational rental, survey\ncharges, etc.)      116,607.19\n$919,319.46\n$1,920,237.58\n ACCOUNTING DIVISION\nDD 17\nSale of maps and air photos\u2014\nLegal Division\nGeographic Division\nAir Division \t\nGross revenue for year\nLess refunds and taxes\nNet revenue for year\t\n$37,759.92\n56,328.06\n72,871.72\n$166,959.70\n$3,006,516.74\n20,520.13\n$2,985,996.61\nTable 4.\u2014Comparison of Land Leases, Rentals, Fees, Etc., Revenue for\n10-year Period 1958-67, Inclusive\n1958\n1959\n1960\n1961\n1962\n1963\n1964\n1965\n1966\n1967\n$605,229.73\n668,367.70\n842,413.17\n1,001,071.13\n933,607.66\n1,149,650.45\n1,485,539.13\n1,462,024.931\n1,514,749.691\n1,917,435.311\ni Net revenue.\nTable 5.-\n1958 i\n1959 i\n1960 i\n1961 i\n1962 i\n1963 i\n1964 i\n1965 i\n1966 i\n1967 i\n-Comparison of Land Sales Revenue for 10-year Period 1958-67,\nInclusive\n$677,036.15\n589,975.24\n806,723.54\n703,705.71\n836,270.32\n787,184.11\n982,137.88\n1,017,893.16!\n1,692,861.141 2\n916,098.981 2\ni Net revenue.\n2 Includes sales to City of Prince George: 1966, $718,733; 1967, $107,200.\n  LANDS BRANCH\n\u2022V'\n THE LANDS BRANCH\nAt the time of the Fraser River gold-rush in 1858 the demand for land in British\nColumbia was greatly intensified and pre-emptions predated surveys. Within four years\n254 pre-emptors had taken up more than 50,000 acres of land. To facilitate the transfer\nof real estate and provide for the registration of titles, the Land Registry Act was passed\nin 1860. The Government of the Province of British Columbia was now in the real-\nestate business in a big way; the more than 366,000 square miles of land and water that\nconstitutes British Columbia was the real estate in question.\nWith the entrance of British Columbia into Confederation in 1871, the demand for\nland quickened to a rush, and over the next thirty years the land-settler (and the promoter) succeeded the gold-miner in importance. Railroads were built and land grants\npassed, cities came into being, and companies became established. Land was at the core\nof all developments.\nThe task of land administration became very heavy and necessitated the formation\nof a Department of Lands in 1908. In 1912 a Forest Branch was included in the Department of Lands. Today the Department of Lands, Forests, and Water Resources exercises\ncontrol of more than 90 per cent of the surface of British Columbia.\nHow does the Lands Branch fit into the total organization of the British Columbia\nLands Service of today? The relation may be expressed briefly. The Lands Branch\nhas jurisdiction in matters pertaining to the disposition of Crown land, and is\ncharged with so administering and disposing of the land that the general welfare,\npresent and future, of the Province must be protected at all times.\nWhen an individual, or group, desires to purchase or lease Crown land, the application is directed to the Director of Lands, head of the Lands Branch. His authority\ngoverns the following matters:-\u2014\u25a0\nSale, lease, and pre-emption of Crown lands for such purposes as agricultural,\nindustrial, commercial, and home-sites.\nPreparation and issuance of Crown grants under the Land Act and the Mineral\nAct.\nPreparation and issuance of right-of-way easements for power, telephone, pipe\nlines, etc.\nReservation of suitable Crown lands and foreshore for national defence, use\nand enjoyment of the public, forestry experimentation, fisheries research\nwork, highways, etc.\nGranting railway rights-of-way under various Statutes.\nProtection of historic sites from alienation.\nReservation and conveying of Crown lands for such purposes as school-sites,\ncemeteries, and fair grounds.\nLeasing of land and foreshore for such varied purposes as wharf-sites, booming-\ngrounds, canneries, oyster and other mollusc fisheries, and for boat-houses,\nquarry-sites, cattle-ranching, trappers' cabins, ship-building, and aircraft\nbases.\nTo perform these and other functions efficiently, the Lands Branch works in close\nco-operation with a great number of other agencies, such as municipal and city administrations, town-planning authorities, the British Columbia Forest Service, the Water Resources Service, the Surveys and Mapping Branch within the British Columbia Lands\nService, and all the departments in the Government of the Province, notably Highways,\nEducation, Attorney-General, and Agriculture.\nOutside the Provincial departments there is much business transacted with Federal\ndepartments, such as the Department of National Defence, the Veterans' Land Settlement\nAct administration, the Public Works Department, and the Indian Affairs Branch of the\nDepartment of Citizenship and Immigration.\nDirect service to the people of British Columbia is the first duty of the Lands Branch\nand this takes the bulk of the time of the Lands Branch personnel. Associated with this\nprime duty is the important function of the maintenance of the records, which in many\ncases are the only ones in British Columbia showing the correct legal status of the surface of the Province.\n :y :::__:_;\n\u25a0\n'St'.   .*.\u25a0:.\u00ab ,-,: ri.-\n'M \u25a0'\u25a0\u25a0'i ?\u00ab\u25a0 \u00ab.\u25a0> I.  sa\n\u25a0\n.......... . .;    . .'..:\u25a0\u25a0..\u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0      ,\u25a0\n<M3& BmBHMMBH\n\u25a0        \u25a0 \u25a0    \u25a0\n***\u00a3 \u2022*     \u2022     \u25a0\u00bb\u2022?*\u2022__\u25a0\u25a0\u2022   -\u25a0 _S *\n.       .,..,.'.;    'V'.        :       ':        M \u25a0\u25a0'\":\n,:'\u21225*:;- M '.\u25a0\u2022:\u2022\u25a0   M;--\"*.'.;;, M:\n9HHI'\n;.-v ...\n\u25a0Hk\ni II JlllpimiiMfrms\n\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\n;.\n\u25a0\u25a0.....\ng^_Sr.r.\u00ab&    \t\nlJN^-<7 --fi5* iiS^jt8- \"\u00ab> *\n..*&*\u25a0\nSummer cabin on Crown lakeshore lease.\n DD 22     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\njj .-.   3   u\nBJ\n\u00a3\na\n<J\nW\n>\no\nS'r\nft\nQ\nu\na\n&.\nn\n0>\nO\nv\nta\np\na\nCn\nu\nu\na.\nw\n(4\nu\neJ\n1   tH    CU    0)    o\nIQCC-r^O-HXlra^\ni o <i cn o m   3h2 rn\nl4hQ<iQ(i.3i<<Q^C_.Upio^U'n\nu\na\nOJ\n\u00a3\u00a3\n2S\n[z;\nCM\nCM\nCM\nH    C    C    O   -\nz\nO\n3\n\u2022<\nE\n3\n_-J\nto\n\u25a0H\na.\n\u2022a\nTJ\n^   s\nX\n14        oj\n-    o\nU\n3\nEh\n^i         qj\nX\nS,     2\nC        re\n3    W\n LANDS BRANCH\nDD 23\nLANDS BRANCH\nD. Borthwick, B.S.A., B.Ed., A.A.C.I., Director of Lands\nDuring 1967 there was a drop of 10 per cent in the number of land applications\nfiled with the Department. However, the trend toward increasing revenue is continuing, resulting in a total revenue for 1967 of $2,833,534. Fewer direct sales\nof land are being made due to the Department's policy requiring lease tenure,\nwhich leads to sale upon completion of improvements to the property. This policy\nhas resulted in a constantly increasing number of lease applications with a correspondingly larger percentage of total revenue attributable to lease rentals rather\nthan to sale values.\nAs in past years, the Lands Branch has co-operated closely with municipalities\nthroughout the Province by providing lands where available for public use. Assistance has also been given to replotting schemes which have been initiated at the local\ngovernment level. The purpose of the replotting schemes is to cancel obsolete\nsubdivisions and resurvey to maximize the utility of the land. During the past year\nsuch schemes were initiated in North Vancouver, Port Edward, and Fraser Lake.\nThe bulk of applications for Crown land has been filed in the Peace River\nDistrict, and it is anticipated that this trend will continue. A large reserve was\nestablished in this district to curtail applications for Crown land which were far\nremoved from the rail-head or otherwise uneconomical to develop. At the same\ntime, adequate areas were left for alienation, and in addition some 385,000 acres\nwere released from a previous reserve.\nThe interest shown during the past few years in the acquisition and development of Crown lands for ski-resort purposes is still active. During the past year\nthe Lands Branch has processed many inquiries for this purpose, and the development of ski-ing facilities is now proceeding in virtually all parts of the Province.\nSuch developments, when coupled with the continuing policy of etablishing reserves\nover suitable Crown lands for the use, recreation, and enjoyment of the public, will\nensure present and future generations of access to adequate and enjoyable recreational pursuits.\nThe year 1967 was an active one from the standpoint of subdivision work\nundertaken by the Crown. Nine Crown subdivisions, comprising some 403 lots,\nwere serviced by road over the past year. The subdivisions on Wasa and Bednesti\nLakes will be surveyed in 1968 as the roads were not completed until late in 1967.\nThe remaining subdivisions on Fraser Lake, Clucultz Lake, Seymour Lake, Green\nLake and north of Williams Lake, south of Prince George, and on the Blackwater\nRoad have all been surveyed, and with the exception of Green Lake will be offered\nfor disposition on a leasehold basis by public competition in 1968. The subdivision\non Green Lake, which comprised approximately 109 lots, was offered to the public\nduring the latter part of June. The auction, which was held by the Land Commissioner at Clinton, was attended by well over 300 interested applicants and is believed\nto be one of the best-attended auctions held by the Department in recent years.\nOver the past few years it has been very apparent that road-development costs\nto service these subdivisions have been increasing steadily. This is partially due to\nincreased labour and equipment costs and partially due to the fact that the more\naccessible Crown lands have already been subdivided, and hence to gain entry to\nthe more remote Crown lands it is sometimes necessary to underwrite the cost of\nbuilding a considerable amount of access road from the existing public road to the\nsite of the proposed Crown subdivision.\n DD 24     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nDuring the past year, with the co-operation of the Department of Highways,\nthe Lands Service underwrote the cost of providing a car-parking lot on Crown land\nat Whistler Mountain for ski club lessees situated within Lot 7179, Group 1, New\nWestminster District. This facility will be maintained by the Department of Highways in order that the ski club members leasing the Crown lands can park their cars\noff the Squamish-Garibaldi Highway.\nA full work load is again being considered for 1968, and arrangements are now\nunder way to select appropriate sites for development where public demand and the\neconomics of the development indicate a subdivision is warranted.\nA brief summary of the activities of the various sections of the Administration\nDivision of the Lands Branch is set out hereunder:\u2014\nLease Section.\u2014The policy of disposing of most lands on a lease-develop-\npurchase basis has resulted in a continued increase in the number of lease\napplications. This year 2,768 applications were received as compared to\n2,690 last year. This continuing increase is largely a reflection of the\ninterest in acquiring agricultural lands, particularly in the Peace River\nDistrict.\nPurchase Section.\u2014During 1967 there was a sharp decrease in the number of\npurchase applications filed with the Branch. However, this was anticipated in view of the emphasis being placed on acquiring Crown land\ninitially on a leasehold basis. The workload of this Section will increase in\nthe next few years as the purchase options on existing leases are exercised.\nCrown Grants.\u2014The volume of work in the Crown Grant Section decreased\nfrom 1,020 in 1966 to 980 in 1967. This was mainly due to the change in\nDepartmental policy requiring lands held under leasehold tenure to be\ndeveloped before the lessee could exercise his option to purchase. It is\nanticipated that as lessees meet Departmental requirements in respect to\ndevelopment of the land and exercise their purchase options, the work of\nthis Section will increase.\nPre-emption and Reserve Section.\u2014The number of applications processed by\nthis Section remained about constant when related to 1966, with 564\napplications received. The importance of the pre-emption as a means of\nacquiring land has been gradually diminishing over the years, and the\nnumber of pre-emption records issued was only 26 as compared to 42\nin 1966.\nStatus Section.\u2014The number of statuses completed decreased slightly from\n21,856 in 1966 to 21,115 in 1967. The decrease was the result of more\ninterest shown in acreage parcels of Crown land rather than town lot\nparcels.\nEasement Section.\u2014During 1967, 146 easements were granted, which was\nabout the same as for the preceding year. The majority of the easements\nissued are for power-line purposes.\nGENERAL ACTIVITY\nDuring 1967 a total of 55 parcels was tendered for lease, and 39 parcels, comprising 6,732 acres, were acquired by this means. In addition, 430 lots were offered\nfor lease by public auction and 274 were leased at the time of auction. Of the 430\nlots, 301 were waterfront parcels.\nOnly one parcel was tendered for sale in 1967, but 21 parcels were offered for\nsale by public auction. Of this number, only 14 sold, bringing in a revenue of\n$104,360.\n LANDS BRANCH\nDD 25\nDuring the past year, 390 town lots were sold, realizing the sum of $238,610.\nThe following tables indicate in

Fraser, B.Sc.A., P.Ag., A.A.C.I., Chief\nDuring recent years there has been an increasing volume of work processed\nby this Division; this trend continued through 1967. As indicated by the footnote\nto Table 3, the average change over the whole Province this year was an increase\nof 3 per cent over 1966; the average change from 1963 to 1967 was 24 per cent.\nAs shown in Table 2 the number of inspections completed during 1967 was\n5,920, a decrease of 4 per cent from the 1966 figure. At the same time, however,\nit is noteworthy that in spite of staff difficulties the outstanding inspection total at\nthe year-end numbers 781, a 7-per-cent decrease. On the basis of a full complement this means that 24 applications per man are awaiting examination, an acceptable year-end figure.\nThe change to a lease-develop-purchase policy initiated by the Department in\n1965 is continuing to have a decided effect upon the type of inspection and work\nvolume relative to lease applications and renewals. This year 3,328 inspections\ndealt with new land lease applications or lease reviews. This was 56 per cent of\nthe total 5,920 inspections completed. This figure may be compared with 53 per\ncent last year, 44 per cent in 1965, and 38 per cent for the same type of work at\nthe end of 1964. It is anticipated that 1968 will be a busy year as the full effect of\nthe 1965 policy will be felt with an increase in lease review requests following the\ninitial three-year leasehold tenure period.\nThe Inspection Division again examined, appraised, and submitted reports to\nother Government departments and agencies \u2014 Pacific Great Eastern Railway,\nSouthern Okanagan Lands Project, Land Settlement Board, Veterans' Land Act,\nDepartment of Social Welfare, British Columbia Forest Service, Provincial Secretary's Department, Department of Recreation and Conservation, and British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority.\nAgricultural applications to lease and lease reviews constitute the bulk of the\nwork in the Fort St. John Land Inspection District. When annual pre-emption\ninspections are included, this means over 71 per cent of the work load. New\napplications covered a land area of 137,000 acres this year. Almost 50 per cent\nof the applications received were from local people, 15 per cent from other Canadian residents, and the remaining 35 per cent from outside of Canada.\nIn the North Peace River area many of the present agricultural applications\nare a considerable distance from railroad and markets, and have poor access. Partially offsetting these factors, however, is the trend to larger parcels. This pattern\nfollows the trend in the now established agricultural sections where owners are\nincreasing the size of their farms to create economic units.\nThe area south of the Peace River covered by the Pouce Coupe Land Inspection District had an active year, very similar to 1966. The interest in land applications in this area has been fairly evenly distributed over the whole district. Most large\nremaining blocks of Crown land which are economically suitable for agriculture\nare now under application. Future applicants will be removed from established\nservices and may expect to be faced with access problems. Lands having a home-\nsite potential are in demand, and a number of applications have been made in the\nPortage Mountain area. It is noted that about 75 per cent of all applications made\nin this district in 1967 were by local or British Columbia residents.\nA number of conflicts have recently come to light involving forestry, agriculture, grazing, and recreational use in this inspection district;  for instance, there is\n DD 32     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\ncompetition between recreation and other resource uses in the Sukunka and Upper\nMoberly River areas. This is not too surprising, of course, since the Peace River\nregion as a whole, compared to the rest of the Province, is lacking in available\nnatural local recreational facilities such as lakes and rivers suitable for swimming\nand fishing near established population centres. Attention is being given to recreational needs in the district, and wherever possible suitable areas for public use\nare being recommended for reserve.\nIn the Prince George Land Inspection District there was a 12-per-cent reduction in inspections requested during 1967. Completed examinations increased by\n2.5 per cent, and the year ended with a very low backlog of outstanding work. The\ntypes of inspection requested varied little from 1966, the major change being a\nthreefold increase in rental review requests. The workload distribution this year\nwas fairly similar to 1966: 11 per cent of the total was in Community Planning\nArea Number 7, 20 per cent in Ranger District No. 4, and 25 per cent in Ranger\nDistrict No. 14 adjoining the community planning area to the north-west and southwest. Activity east of Prince George is very limited and no substantial increase\nis foreseen, in spite of the new Highway No. 16 east to McBride and Jasper, since\nagricultural potential along the route is extremely limited. It is felt that there\nwill be some future demand for commercial and residential use in subdivisions\nadjacent to the new highway. At the present time there is little application activity\nat Mackenzie; this is in part accounted for by a sizeable area here being under\nmunicipal control.\nThere is still a very active demand for lake-frontage property, and in this connection two Crown subdivisions offered in 1967 met with complete acceptance and\nover 120 lots were disposed of by public competition. It is anticipated that further\nCrown subdivisions will be considered in this district in order to keep pace with the\npublic demand for property suitable for summer-camp site use.\nIn the Vanderhoof Land Inspection District the number of new requests was\ndown 4 per cent from 1966, but at the same time the number of examinations completed was up from a year ago. Agricultural applications were down slightly from\nlast year, and this trend is expected to continue in the future as the more readily\naccessible and potentially arable areas are applied for and developed. During\n1967 a number of applications were made in the area lying between Stuart and\nPinchi Lakes. Since the Pacific Great Eastern Railway now has a line into Fort\nSt. James and as there is an access road running north to Tachie Village at the\nmouth of Tachie River, it is anticipated that there will be a demand for this land\nbetween the two lakes mentioned. The construction of the railway and new access\nroads in this area have also stimulated interest in Crown lands between Stuart and\nNecoslie Rivers. As access roads open up the area, applications are sure to follow\nfor land which is economically suitable for agricultural development in this vicinity.\nThe reopening of Pinchi Mines on Pinchi Lake has stimulated growth at Fort\nSt. James. It has been noticeable during the past year that other mining activity\nin the district has promoted growth of nearby towns, and in this connection the\ntownsites of Fraser Lake and Endako should be mentioned in particular. Generally speaking, the area development and population growth over the year have been\nmoderate in this district.\nDuring the past year 180 new requests went out to Burns Lake Inspection\nDistrict, and in total there were 173 inspections completed. Like the Vanderhoof\nDistrict, this one also contains numerous lakes which influence the district and\naffect its residents to a considerable degree. During the year there was a continuing and growing interest in the Babine Lake area, and it is expected that there will\nbe great interest in the large residential lot subdivision in the vicinity of Topley\n LANDS BRANCH DD 33\nLanding which the Department is expecting to auction shortly. Much of the interest in this area has been encouraged by Granisle Copper activities here and the\npossibility that Noranda and other mines may consider carrying out development\nwork in this vicinity.\nThe number of inspection requests forwarded to the Smithers Land Inspection\nDistrict increased during 1967 by 18 per cent. Examinations completed totalled\n212, covering an area of approximately 60,000 acres, and 54 per cent of this total\ndealt with applications for agricultural use. It is considered that local residents\nwere involved in 89 per cent of the applications.\nMine exploration activity is continuing to be a beneficial factor in the local\neconomy, and during the year a number of applications dealt with the land needs\nof the mining industry.\nDuring the year it was noted that a number of ranchers were showing an interest in acquiring arable portions of their grazing leases, and applications were made\nto convert grazing leases to agricultural leases where it was found to be economically\nfeasible and possible to do so.\nThe number of inspection requests sent out during 1967 to the Prince Rupert\nLand Inspection District increased by 29 per cent over 1966. With the exception\nof the Terrace-Kitimat area and a very limited small settlement on the Nass River,\nthis is a coastal district and, as would be expected, much of the work, 40 per cent\nin 1967, involves the use of Crown foreshore.\nIndustrial and labour trouble at the Columbia Cellulose plant in Port Edward\nand the fish-packing plants in Prince Rupert slowed the city economy. On the\nQueen Charlotte Islands, however, the cannery at Masset had a better than average\nseason, the Bering Industries peat plant between Masset and Port Clements was in\noperation, new tourist and business facilities added activity to the local economy,\nwhilst on the isolated west coast Wesfrob Mines Limited officially opened an iron\nmine. Mining activity also was of benefit to other areas in the Prince Rupert\nInspection District, notably Stewart and Alice Arm.\nMany of the agricultural and agricultural lease review requests in this district\nare found in the Terrace area. These were down in number from a year ago.\nThere is an increasing interest in this part of the district in leases for home-site\npurposes both for permanent and summer-camp site residence. Lots in a small\nCrown subdivision on the very popular Lakelse Lake were auctioned in November;\nthere is now virtually no potential subdivision frontage left in the name of the Crown\non this lake.\nDuring the year the Port Edward-Inverness Slough settlements became incorporated as the Village of Port Edward.\nLand applications were up in the Quesnel Inspection District by 29 per cent\nand inspections were also up, a total of 241 being completed. It is anticipated that\nthe work load for various types of inspections will maintain the same rate of growth\nin the next few years as has been the case in the last three. Normal population\ngrowths, the provision of access and the opening of new lands by loggers, miners,\npioneers, etc., and the possibility of a new pulp-mill in Quesnel should all sustain\nthis expected growth.\nIn this district as in others the implementation of the lease-develop-purchase\npolicy will also ensure an increasing work load with reviews of leases being carried\nout initially on a three-year basis. As well, it is anticipated that the Cottonwood\nProvincial Forest will be converted to a pulp harvesting forest before long, and then\npractically all special-use permits now administered by the Forest Service will be\nhandled by the Lands Service.\n DD 34     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nIn the Williams Lake District the number of new application requests was up\n25 per cent in 1967; work output was also up by 19 per cent, resulting in 492\ncompleted inspections.\nThe ranching industry is the prime user of Crown land in the Cariboo, and\ntherefore applications to lease for ranching purposes form the major part of the\ndistrict work load. It is noted that the number of applications of a speculative\nnature have been greatly reduced by Departmental policy, wherein agricultural\nleasehold tenure requires cultivation plus, in the case of grazing leases, insistence\nthat the fencing provision in the lease indenture be complied with. As stock numbers increase and the Crown ranges are used to greater capacity, it is becoming\nincreasingly important to have a thorough knowledge of grazing patterns and use\nthroughout the entire range in order to arrive at reasoned recommendations.\nCattle sales during 1967 in the Williams Lake District increased to 38,000\nhead from 25,000 head in 1966. The average price per head increased during the\nsame period from $138 to $147 in 1967.\nOnce again inspection returns indicated that the lakes of the Cariboo are very\npopular by local people, tourists, and residents of other parts of the Province for\nsummer-camp site use. This is borne out by the increase in summer-home site\napplications, the number increasing from 49 in 1966 to 80 in 1967.\nRequests sent out to the Clinton Land Inspection District were up 26 per cent\nduring the year; work accomplished increased by 18 per cent to 266 inspections\ncompleted. Examinations relating to ranching and tourism continued to dominate\nthe inspection activity in this district. With the exception of grazing leases, the\nincrease in the number of applications during 1967 was distributed through all sectors. It is early to attempt to explain the reduction in grazing lease applications,\nbut it is felt this may be attributable to availability and to some extent to the enforcement of fencing requirements over existing grazing leases. The latter point has been\nreceived with mixed response by the ranching community, but for the most part\nthere has been a general improvement in adherence to fencing requirements.\nAgain this year there was a continuing interest throughout the district in residential lots having lake-frontage. In June of this year the Department auctioned\n95 residential lots on the south shore of Green Lake. All lots were disposed of at\nthe initial auction with bonus bids received totalling more than $38,000, reflecting\na strong demand for this type of development. All but 14 of the successful bidders\nwere from the Lower Mainland. The market for permanent home-sites in the 100\nMile House area remains firm, and this is expected to be the pattern during the forthcoming year as well.\nIn the Kamloops Land Inspection District new requests were down 24 per\ncent from last year; work output totalled 423 inspections completed. There was a\nreduction in rental reviews during the year, but as this category involves summer\nhomes and grazing lease reviews together, this would appear to be a temporary\nsituation and one which could fluctuate greatly from year to year, depending upon\nthe renewal dates of the leases. On the average this district should expect to have\napproximately 200 rental reviews of all types for each year. In 1967 new applications to lease summer-home sites on lakes were up from 24 to 68 compared to\n1966, but all other types of inspections remained relatively constant.\nThe number of inspections requested from the Kelowna Land Inspection District was up by 38 per cent compared to last year, and the work output was also up\n17 per cent to 216 examinations completed. The work load this year was above the\nfive-year average.\n1\n LANDS BRANCH DD 35\nThere is a continuing demand in this district for residential leases having lake-\nfrontage. In this regard a large number of rental reviews dealing with this type of\nleasehold were carried out in the district this year, the majority being on Christina\nLake with a lesser number on Mabel Lake and along the Similkameen River.\nProjects which were of particular interest during the year involved the appraisal\nof 50 parcels of land which were located along the Okanagan Flood Control Channel\nand administered by the Southern Okanagan Lands Project. Further types of\nexaminations which were of special interest involved the exchange of land in the\nMabel Lake area and the valuation of several parcels within the City of Vernon for\nthe Public Works Department. In addition, this office inspected and reported upon\na number of applications being made under section 102 (2) of the Land Registry Act.\nLand-inspection requests in the Nelson District decreased by 8 per cent during\n1967; the work accomplished totalled 250 examinations completed. It is anticipated that there will be a continuing interest in and demand for Crown land in the\nNelson Land Inspection District owing to construction of the Libby and Mica Dams,\nconstruction and completion of the High Arrow Dam, completion of the Duncan\nDam, construction of a new pulp-mill at Skookumchuck, construction of a recreational centre at Crawford Bay on Kootenay Lake, development of four new ski\nresorts in the area, and the proposed relocation of the towns of Natal and Michel.\nThe work load of the Vancouver Land Inspection District during 1967 decreased by 10 per cent; work accomplished increased to a total of 259 examinations\ncompleted. The types of examination, Table 1, for the district does not indicate\nany particular trend or development during the year; once again applications for\nforeshore lots constituted a major portion of the work load. The foreshore applications were for many purposes, including new booming and log-storage leases,\nmarinas, oyster-growing purposes, etc.\nDuring 1967 there was a decrease of 2 per cent in the New Westminster Land\nInspection District work load; work accomplished was 245 examinations completed.\nProjects of especial interest this year included the appraisal of properties for\nthe British Columbia Forest Service and the Attorney-General's Department, a\nlarge sand and gravel operation, an industrial property having frontage on the Fraser\nRiver, and a ski-cabin subdivision development appraisal in the Alta Lake area.\nCourtenay Land Inspection District also had a minor change in the number\nof inspections requested, up 3 per cent from 1966; work completed totalled 274\nexaminations.\nAs in previous years, foreshore inspections continued to be the predominant\ntype of examination. The number of inspections for permanent home-sites also\ncontinued at a high rate.\nTahsis Company Limited completed the construction of its new pulp-mill at\nGold River and commenced production in the summer of 1967.\nIn the Victoria Land Inspection District the number of inspections requested\nduring 1967 decreased by 14 per cent; work accomplished increased for a total of\n189 examinations completed. As has been experienced in previous years, foreshore\ninspections continued to be the predominant type of examination. Greater competition for the use of foreshore areas is inevitable with increased population since the\nmore favourable locations are now held under lease.\nSTAFF CHANGES\nDuring the year several changes were made in the location and employment\nof staff.   On September 1, 1967, Mr. F. M. Cunningham was appointed Assistant\n DD 36     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nDirector of Lands and was replaced as Assistant Chief Land Inspector by Mr. A. F.\nSmith on October 16, 1967.\nMr. J. S. D. Smith, Land Inspector at Nelson, passed away March 28, 1967,\nfollowing a lengthy illness.\nThis year the following Land Inspectors resigned on the following dates and\nfor the reasons noted: W. V. Lowry, April 17, 1967 (employment with Federal\nGovernment, Ottawa); M. G. McConnell, June 23, 1967 (returned to University\nof British Columbia); J. R. Prosser, October 31, 1967 (employment with ARDA,\nWinnipeg). Also the following Deputy Land Inspectors resigned: M. K. Wilson,\nAugust 22, 1967 (travelled to New Zealand), and R. L. Lussier, September 15,\n1967 (transferred to British Columbia Forest Service).\nThese vacancies required the following transfers of Land Inspectors: F. G.\nEdgell from Prince George to Clinton, in charge, May 23, 1967; H. K. Boas from\nSmithers to Nelson, in charge, June 5, 1967; R. N. Bose from Clinton to Smithers,\nin charge, June 15,1967. Also the following Deputy Land Inspectors: P. H. Downs\nfrom Fort St. John to Williams Lake, October 30, 1967, and J. E. Perdue from\nWilliams Lake to Nelson, November 7, 1967.\nAs a result of the above resignations the following personnel were taken on\nstaff on the dates noted and assigned to the following offices:\u2014\nLand Inspectors: J. P. Egan, June 12, 1967, Fort St. John; T. J. Todd,\nOctober 1, 1967, Prince George; J. R. Nijhoff, December 1, 1967,\nVanderhoof; R. A. Cullis, August 16, 1967, Williams Lake.\nDeputy Land Inspectors (two filled vacancies existing December 31,\n1966): J. A. Little, June 1, 1967, Fort St. John; D. E. Jaffray,\nSeptember 21, 1967, Fort St. John; E. S. Gowman, October 1,\n1967, Fort St. John; H. Patzelt, January 1, 1967, Pouce Coupe.\nTRAINING\nEight Land Inspectors together with the Chief and Assistant Chief Land\nInspector are now accredited as appraisers with the Appraisal Institute of Canada.\nEight Land Inspectors and nine Deputy Land Inspectors have successfully\ncompleted Parts 1 and 2 of the Appraisal Course and are now studying Part 3.\nOne Land Inspector is studying Part 2 on his own with a view to writing this examination in the spring. Three Land Inspectors and three Deputy Land Inspectors\nare studying Part 1 of the Appraisal Course.\nTwo Land Inspectors have completed the Public Administration Course, and\nat the present time one Land Inspector is in his third year and the Assistant Chief\nLand Inspector is in his second year of this course.\nIn March two zone meetings were held\u2014one at Kamloops and one at Prince\nGeorge.\nSTATISTICS\nTable 1 represents a summary of the number and type of inspections completed\nSn the Province by this Division during 1967.

In more than 100 years which have passed since Joseph\nDespard Pemberton was appointed first Surveyor-General, British Columbia has expanded\nimmensely in all spheres of human endeavour. Much of the foundation for the way of\nlife we have in British Columbia today rests on the reliability of our basic surveys. As\nBritish Columbia has progressed through time, so the surveys and maps of the Province\nhave increased in magnitude and complexity.\nIt is the responsibility of the Surveys and Mapping Branch, through the Boundary\nCommissioner, to establish and maintain co-operatively the boundaries between this\nProvince and the other adjacent Provinces and Territories of Canada. Within the Province, the Branch has established and is ever extending a basic network of triangulation\nsurveys which are fundamental to determining geographical locations and co-ordinating\nproperty boundaries. The surveying procedures vary according to the intended purposes.\nTopographic surveys are constantly improving the portrayal of various physical features.\nCadastral (legal) surveys, on the other hand, delineate the parcels of Crown lands subject\nto alienation under the Land Act. Finally, it is necessary to show on published maps the\ncombined survey effort in order to give a visual account of the position of land alienation\nand geographic features of British Columbia. Maps must satisfy a wide range of uses,\nwhether it be by the sportsman searching for an untapped valley or virgin lake, the homesteader seeking unsettled lands, or the industrialist planning new ways and new places to\ndevelop the resources of this Province.\nSo much for the uses of maps and surveys and their necessity. Also interesting is the\ngreat variety of techniques and equipment which must support our complex surveying and\nmapping organization. This includes photography from aircraft using precise cameras\ncalibrated to less than a thousandth of an inch, modern optical surveyors' theodolites\nwhich read directly to seconds of arc, other instruments such as the tellurometer (a\ndistance-measuring device which operates on a principal similar to radar), and plotting\ndevices which are capable of precise mapping directly from aerial photographs. Helicopters and other aircraft speed surveyors to the remotest locations. Surveying is also\nexpanding into the realm of electronic computers which can process the contents of field-\nnotes in seconds compared with hours by manual methods. In all these ways, the science\nof surveying and mapping continues to serve the people by keeping pace with their needs\nand with the continual technological advances of our age.\nThe following is a brief summary of the functions of the various divisions of the\nSurveys and Mapping Branch:\u2014\n\/.

Andrews, M.B.E., Director, Surveyor-General,\nand Boundaries Commissioner\nEach year, completed and up for review, is like the youngest child added to\na large family, all of whom show common characteristics, but interesting variations\nare also evident among them, according to how the chromosomes got stirred up in\neach mix. While gratifying to \" Pa \" that the children are all like him in one way\nor another, the old saying goes, \" Mother knows best.\" So it is with this Branch's\nfamily of years, on no less than 17 of which (since 1951) it has been the writer's\nprivilege to report. Characteristic trends through these years include authorized\nannual expenditure, staff establishment, accommodation, policy, the nature of\nwork, technology, equipment, methods, and accomplishment.\nAuthorized annual expenditure on surveys and mapping covering payroll,\nequipment, and operations has shown a gradual climb from some $830,000 in\n1951\/52 to $1,790,000 for the current year. To be realistic, the increase must be\ndiscounted somewhat for the inflationary spiral. These expenditures, in proportion\nto the total Provincial budget have, however, declined steadily from 0.94 per cent\nin 1951\/52 to 0.25 per cent now, reflecting the growing complexity and responsibility demanded of government. Nevertheless, one must ask, if the relative importance of surveys and mapping, which provide the very basis for economic growth,\nshould not maintain its former proportion of the total budget.\nAuthorized staff establishment of the Branch has been monotonously static\nthrough the past 17 years. The figure for 1951\/52 was 183, the current total is\n186. The highest was 192 in 1952\/53 and the lowest, 175, in 1958\/59, the 17-year\nmean being just under 182. Temporary field staff has augmented these totals in\nsummer months by 15 to 20 per cent. The housing of the Branch's activities\nreflects the stability in personnel, by having changed little, area-wise, but in quality\nit has improved in some respects, such as ventilation in the photo-processing laboratory. In spite of some consolidation, the accommodation is still sporadically fragmented, with the penalty in restricted co-ordination of the various branch segments.\nMy comment for the year 1951 could be repeated for 1967: \" Our present sporadic\ndistribution of offices in four different buildings, diluted among unrelated units of\nother departments, is to some extent chaotic and wasteful.\"\nFeatures of conspicuous but progressive change during this period are technological, covering equipment and methods, happily with a corresponding increase in\nthe quantity and quality of work output. In this sense the later years of the period\nare like later additions to the family, which enjoy the benefits not afforded to the\nearlier children, due to enhanced economic status and maturity of the family unit.\nThe technological features mentioned include improved photo aircraft, the cameras\nand the navigational aids used in them, together with processing facilities. Revolutionary procedures for distance measurement in field surveying became available in\nthe late 1950's in the form of the tellurometer and the geodometer, as did first-order\nphotogrammetric plotting equipment in the form of the Wild A7 autograph. Complementary with these, the revolution in computations and data processing by\nelectronic systems was propitiously and progressively used, such that almost immediate advantage of the improved field measurements in the form of sophisticated\nadjustments has made practical reality of what was formerly theoretic and wishful\nthinking. Improvements in cartography, lithography, and in drawing and reproduction materials, particularly in respect to dimensional and chemical stability, have\n DD 46     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nbeen significant. It has only been by persistent and aggressive adaptation to these\nnew advantages that the static staff potential has been able to cope with the\ncompounding increase in volume, variety, and complexity of demand.\nA few features of the current year as given in detail by the division reports\nfollowing are worthy of special remark. An all-time record for air-photo flying\nwas achieved by the Air Division. Again the commendable vigilance and efficiency\nof the aircraft personnel in fully exploiting any incidence of photo weather whenever\nand wherever was a major contributing factor in this accomplishment. The acquisition of two Zeiss RMK 30\/23 12-inch focal-length cameras now provides each\nof the two air-photo detachments with full complement of modern first-order air\nsurvey cameras for either the 6- or 12-inch photography, according to opportunity,\nthus providing full flexibility of operation. This was a contributing factor to the\nhigh record of accomplishment in 1967. Increasing incidence of breakdowns with\nthe old worn-out 12-inch O.S.C. cameras formerly used implied a significant loss\nof photo-weather opportunity in past years. Complementary to the increased\npotential for taking air photos, the operation of a second Cintel electronic printing\nunit in the processing laboratory has reduced a long-time bottleneck in that section.\nThe aggregate holding of prints in the Air Photo Library now approximates 700,000.\nThis is an impressive total for a Provincial service. The National Air Photo\nLibrary in Ottawa, covering all of Canada, some 10 times the area of British\nColumbia, had a total in excess of three million photographs in 1965, and probably\napproaches four million now. The perennial deficiency of staff in the Air Division\nto fully complete the air-photo interim map series, one of our best sellers, is\nregrettable.   The remedy is obvious.\nIn connection with the work of the Geographic Division, the appearance of\nthe long-awaited 1966 edition of the Geographical Gazetteer of British Columbia\nwas a welcome event. The previous 1953 edition had been both out of print and\nobsolescent for some time. The new edition includes over 35,000 names, some\n8,000 more than the previous edition. From data given in the Division report, it\nwould appear that there are already over 700 new approved names to supplement\nthose presented in the 1966 Gazetteer. Among seven completely new maps produced by the Division in 1967, the special one-sheet map of Vancouver Island\n(SGS 1) at 6-miles-per-inch scale is noteworthy and an example of cartographic\nexcellence, produced entirely in the Province. Compilation, colour separation, and\nediting were done by the Division, and the map was excellently photographed and\nlithographed by the Government Printing Bureau.\nUtilizing improved facilities for electronic computations and mathematical\nadjustment described in the Legal Surveys Division's report, a large amount of\nsurvey control adjustment was accomplished by the Computing Section, as shown\nin Table A of the Geographic Division report. There is now record of over 39,000\nmonumented survey points duly co-ordinated on the North American Geodetic\nDatum within the Province.\nA comparative statistical tabulation of many routine office operations of the\nLegal Surveys Division for 1966 and 1967 indicates more increases than decreases.\nAmong the increases are diazo prints, up some 50,000 items (16 per cent); offset\nprints, up 273,000 (62Vi per cent); applications for lease cleared, up over 1,000\n(22 per cent); photostats dropped by 73,000 (45 per cent). The plan-checking programme for Land Registry Offices has been widened to serve all districts except that\nof New Westminster, which, toward the end of the year, expressed a need for this\nservice due to an unprecedented land subdivision activity in that district. Its inclusion\nwould, however, require additional staff due to current capacity load in this section.\nThe success of the drivable pipe posts innovated by the Legal Surveys Division\n1\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH DD 47\nseveral years ago is reflected in the total issue of some 4,500 of this type as against\n715 of the older standard pipe post.\nGratifying progress continues in the field of electronic computations, especially\nin converting programmes in various ways. Conversion from the I.B.M. 1620-11 to\nthe I.B.M. System\/360 installed during the year is under way, and the benefits of\nthe new system are both significant and appreciated.\nThe Topographic Division had a record year in respect to the magnitude of its\nfield operations and the budget to finance them. This situation arose largely\nfrom a crash programme to improve the quality and density of horizontal and vertical control in North-east British Columbia in response to representations from the\nCanadian Petroleum Association, and was approved on our recommendation that\nit would be more economical to get most of it done in one season by an enlarged\noperation than to do it piecemeal over a number of years. In spite of propitious\nweather which favoured the general operation and also permitted the obtaining of\nthe essential new 40-chain air-photo cover early in the season, the accomplishment\nfell somewhat short of expectations. This was due mainly to two factors: one was\nthe unexpected density and height of new growth along the seismic lines used for\nrouting the levelling and traverse loops. In many places this necessitated shorter\ncourses between a larger number of occupied traverse stations and turning points,\nand brush-cutting, both of which significantly impeded progress. The other factor\nwas the necessity to close down the operation two weeks prematurely due to a precipitant clamp-down on release of funds in conformity with an austerity blitz and\nbecause an over-expenditure of some $20,000 previously authorized for extra work\ndone on another project did not materialize. With such a large field force, some 50\nmen, two helicopters, and an Otter support aircraft, this restriction reduced the\neffective accomplishment in proportion to the basic cost of deployment in such a\nremote area. These two weeks' field opportunity lost due to a freeze on funds were,\nunfortunately, the most effective weeks of the whole season, with crews all highballing on the job, well trained and highly efficient. There is one consolation in the\nfact that the area left to be done south of latitude 58\u00b0 20' is more accessible by the\nexistence of access roads and, therefore, could involve a lower proportion of expensive helicopter services.\nSURVEY INTEGRATION\nEstablishment of survey control monuments in urban and suburban areas for\nsurvey integration continues as described in the Topographic Division report.\nValuable co-operation was provided by the Federal Surveys and Mapping Branch\nin the form of a first-order geodetic control party which established some 25 points\nin the Greater Vancouver area, thus providing a strong framework to support the\nexpansion of second-, third-, and fourth-order control. The same party, before\nthe end of the season, was also able to establish some nine first-order stations in\nthe Greater Victoria region. This will be valuable when survey integration begins\nto receive attention in the Capital Region, and it will also be useful for pin-pointing\nthe site of the Centennial survey monument dedicated on the 21st of June in\nVictoria. Another Federal survey party concentrated on second-order control in\nthe City of Vancouver in co-operation with the city surveyor's office, liaison being\nprovided by this Branch. The Provincial effort was divided between several areas\nin the Lower Mainland and in the Interior, as described in the Topographic report.\nOne integrated survey area was proclaimed by Order in Council under authority of\nthe Official Surveys Act (as amended in 1966). At the year-end final steps anticipating proclamation of a second area are well in hand.\n DD 48     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nAccumulating experience in connection with establishing integrated surveys is\nleading to clearer concepts of worth-while objectives and the means of obtaining\nthem. It appears that a degree of flexibility is necessary whereby the principles of\nsurvey integration could be applied in the earliest stages in survey evolution, say,\nin a wilderness area and to continue thereafter. This means that specifications,\nmainly for accuracy and density of control, which directly influence costs, must be\ngraduated on a sliding scale compatible with land values. On this basis it should\nbe practicable to initiate survey integration in wilderness areas with the first primary\nsurvey operation, such as new district lots or rights-of-way. As further survey\nactivity accrues in the area, in response to economic development, specifications\nmay be progressively more rigorous, to the ultimate required, say, in an urban area\nof high land values.\nFurther consideration of a more equitable sharing of the cost of integrated\nsurvey is needed. The case of a single lot or a simple subdivision for an individual\nowner should have recourse to a degree of compensation for the extra cost of coordination, possibly through a tax credit. Large subdivisions, of course, may be\nexpected to assume a proportionately larger share of the cost of integration, without\nthe cost per lot being unreasonably high.\nSURVEY INTEGRATION A BASIS FOR GEO-CODING\nThe following paragraphs aim to rationalize heretofor nebulous ideas in the\nmind of the writer, which now appear to have clarified sufficiently to merit expression for consideration, critical or otherwise.\nA lot of attention is being given by various authorities to the problem of processing locational data and their digital expression, which has been referred to as\n\" geo-coding.\" Various statistical disciplines are concerned with this problem, such\nas census, land classification, land capability and use, natural-resource inventories,\netc. One feature common to all approaches to rational geo-coding is the degree\nof resolving power of the system; that is, how fine a specification of position or\narea is adequate. For certain studies concerned with geographical distribution,\nthe unit location may be as large as, for example, a quarter-section of 160 acres;\nthat is, one-half mile square. For another purpose, such as perhaps a market survey,\nthis may be too coarse, and a finer resolution, down to units, say, the size of a town\nlot may be required. Certainly taxation would seem to require a geo-coding resolution compatible with separation of individual property units.\nOne area, concerned with geo-coding, close to the operations of surveyors,\nespecially in Legal Surveys, is that of registration of land titles according to the\nLand Registry Act as administered by the Attorney-General's Department. In\nBritish Columbia the so-called Torrens principle, in effect for over a century, in\nreturn for compulsory registration of title (for a fee), purports to guarantee title.\nWhat resolution should a geo-coding system for land title registration have? It\nmay be that anything less than the resolution (accuracy) specified for property\nboundaries is an inadequate compromise. This means that for intensive urban\nproperty subdivisions a positional resolution of more than one-tenth of a foot is\ntoo coarse. In rural and wilderness areas this specification could be relaxed to as\nmuch as a foot or, indeed, several feet. It follows that the unique identity and\nlocation of a legal parcel of land, based on the survey of its boundaries, would fully\nmeet the resolution required for geo-coding land titles. A concern is brevity in the\ndigital array identifying and locating a unit parcel. Happily, increasing storage\ncapacity in the current electronic data-processing systems would appear to offer\nsome relaxation in this restriction.\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH\nDD 49\nBy adopting a convention of starting at, say, the northernmost angle point on\nthe legal perimeter of a parcel, and if this could be at either end of a truly east and\nwest boundary-line, referenced to grid azimuth, then take the most north-easterly\nangle point and express this by its co-ordinate position in our accepted polyconic\nrectangulars. We now are on the way to a unique digital label for identifying and\ngeo-coding the parcel, but not quite all the way. Two wedge-shaped lots could\nhappen to share this point, so we must include the co-ordinates for the next adjacent\nangle point on the perimeter, again using the convention of proceeding in, say, a\nclockwise direction. The inclusion of the second point removes all ambiguity at\nthe price, however, of increasing the necessary array of digits. A resolution to\none-tenth of a foot in co-ordinating the two corners should be sufficient even for\nhigh-value property. In such a case the co-ordinates for the pair of corners would\nrun to 33 digits as, for example:\u2014\nAngle Point\nPolyconic Rectangular Co-ordinates\nTotal\nNumber\nOrigin\nFeet\nor\nDigits\nNo. 1  .__ \t\nNo. 2.    .\t\nLat.            Long.\n48\u00b0               123\u00b0\n(ditto)\n1\nX          |         Y\n\u2014220073.2    |    364892.6\n-220001.1    |    364812.4\n___ 20\n= 15\nTotal digits \t\n2                     3\n16          |          14\n1\n35\nIf the convention of a false origin is adopted to make all X values positive,\ntwo minus signs could be dropped, reducing the required aggregate to 33 digits.\nThe assumption is made that the same geographic origin applies to both points,\nwhich would be true in most cases, especially if, when necessary, the zone were\nextended discretely to include both. In the event that one or both identifying points\nshould fall on a natural boundary, such as a high-water mark, or on a curve, a\nfurther convention would be to transform the meandering boundary into a series of\ntangents or chords. These could be as short as 5 or 10 feet without compromising\nlegal limits or value of the property. This approach is applicable, then, to parcels\nof any shape and whose perimeter could comprise any number of angle points. The\nunderlying requirement is that all angle points of the perimeter, either regular or\nconventionalized, are co-ordinated on the North American Geodetic Datum in a\nrectangular system. This is precisely the end result of survey integration. This\napplication to geo-coding exemplifies one of the primary potential advantages of\nsurvey integration\u2014namely, a digital identity and geo-coding system for all legal\nparcels of land, free from ambiguity, having a resolution to a tenth of a foot, and\nwithin the capabilities of present-day electronic data-processing systems.\nThe data bank for each parcel would, in addition to the co-ordinates of identifying corners, store the co-ordinates of each of the other angle points on the perimeter,\nfrom which bearing, distance, and location of each and all of the sides could\nbe computed and read out. Areas could also be derived. Other pertinent data\ncovering ownership or title identity, plan number, assessment, tax status, services,\netc., could be coded and retrieved. In complex cases more than one of the ordinary\nI.B.M. punch cards might be necessary for each parcel, or the whole \" bag of tricks \"\ncould be stored on tape or disk.\nA different universe for geo-coding a country or a province, complementary to\nthe fragmented and haphazard universe of private-property parcels, would be a\nregular array of geographic units blanketing the whole. The permit and lease grid\nsystem of geo-coding adopted by the British Columbia Petroleum and Natural Gas\n DD 50     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nAct, by which each larger geographic block is broken down in quadrilateral units\n30 seconds of latitude by 45 seconds of longitude, or a similar perhaps more convenient breakdown could form the basis of this blanket approach. Each unit could\nbe geo-coded by the rectangular polyconic co-ordinates of, say, its north-east corner\n(20 digits to one-tenth foot). On each unit card could be entered the rectangulars\nof the other three corners and all legal corners it contains, as well as other types of\ndata, such as well-sites, elevations, land classification, resource inventories, etc.\nProgrammes could then be developed to process these data for a large variety of\nover-all statistical, legal, and economic readouts. The two banks of information\nsystems, the over-all geographic breakdown on one hand and the fragmentary haphazard cadastral breakdown on the other, for any given tract of country could be\nused as a mutual check; that is, the total surface of one system should equal the\ntotal surface of the other. All this sounds like a colossal exercise in tedium, but\nthat is just what modern data-processing systems appear to thrive on.\nThe foregoing line of thought, while perhaps over-simplifying the case for the\nsake of brevity, does show that the ultimate end product of survey integration\u2014\nthat is, the co-ordination of every angle point of every legal parcel of land, whatever shape\u2014on the North American Geodetic Datum is the ultimate fully competent\nuniversal approach to precise geo-coding of all criteria concerning the surface of\nthe earth, be it ownership, value, or whatever. Any other simpler approach might\nwell be an expensive compromise.\nBOUNDARY INSPECTION\nIn July the Commissioners for the British Columbia-Yukon-Northwest Territories Boundary, Mr. R. Thistlethwaite for Canada and the writer for British\nColumbia, made an inspection of this boundary (by helicopter from Whitehorse)\nalong the 60th parallel from the lower crossing of the Tatshenshini River, Monument 166, west to Monument 185 on the right (west) bank of the Alsek River,\nwhere a landing was made. The monument at this point was found in good condition, but a rock cairn marking the tie point 3 chains north had been dismantled,\npresumably by a curious grizzly bear. Due to low cloud ceiling, Monument 187,\n243 chains (approximately 3 miles) west and at 4,019 feet elevation, the westernmost terminal monument of the surveyed boundary, was obscured in cloud and thus\ninaccessible that day. The return flight followed along the boundary, except where\ndetours were necessary around high ground engulfed in cloud. Several pits and\nmounds marking other monuments were observed, and the cut line through timbered\nportions was quite discernible. The area covered in this flight, especially at the\nwest end, is possibly one of the most inaccessible in the whole Province and, especially near the Alsek River, a fantastic spectacle of raw wilderness having been comparatively only recently, in the geological sense, vacated by the ice mantle of the\nlast glacial advance. An indelible impression of the area is also that there is yet\na vast amount of unoccupied real estate in the north-west part of the Province.\nThis westernmost segment of the British Columbia-Yukon Boundary, from Monument 166 to 187, was surveyed by Mr. A. F. Swannell, B.C.L.S., in 1958. Beyond\nMonument 187 to the west for some 38 miles to the International Boundary with\nAlaska, the 60th parallel ascends to traverse enormous icefields, and for this reason\nhas not been surveyed. It can wait until the present icefield might dissipate, which\nmay be a little time yet.\nDISTANT FIELDS\nValuable extra-provincial liaison in surveys and mapping was effected during\nthe year in a number of ways.   In Ottawa during the week of February 6th to 10th\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH DD 51\nthe Director attended a special meeting on geo-coding and the three-day 60th Annual\nConvention of the Canadian Institute of Surveying. Messrs. M. Perks, B.C.L.S.,\nof the Legal Surveys Division, and A. D. Wight, B.C.L.S., of the Topographic\nDivision, also attended these meetings. In September a special symposium on ortho-\nphoto mapping in Ottawa was attended by Messrs. A. H. Ralfs, Assistant Director,\nand C. R. Irving, Supervisor of the Photogrammetry Section of the Topographic\nDivision. In October the Director and Mr. W. R. Young, Chief of the Geographic\nDivision, attended annual meetings in Fredericton, N.B., of the Advisory Council\non Cadastral Surveys, of the Permanent Canadian Committee on Geographical\nNames, and of the Federal-Provincial survey officers. Immediately following, in\nOttawa, were meetings of the National Advisory Committee on Control Surveys\nand Mapping and a special conference on control surveys. While in Eastern Canada the Director utilized the opportunity to visit several Provincial survey headquarters at Fredericton, Halifax, St. John's, and Charlottetown.\nA strong impression gained from these latter visits was the chaotic character\nof the primary cadastral partition of land surviving from early colonial days, when\nriparian frontage for each parcel of land was of paramount importance due to\nrivers serving almost exclusively as arteries of access, transport, and communication. Many such lots survive to this day with, say, 600 feet of river-frontage, 6\nmiles of depth, and in some cases with only 100 feet width at the back line. We\nreceive occasional complaints about the irregularity of the district lot system in\nBritish Columbia, but compared to the old allotments in Eastern Canada our system\nseems almost elegant.\nIn December Messrs. A. C. Kinnear, Chief of the Air Division, and J. W. Gibbs,\nof the same Division, attended the annual meeting of the Puget Sound Section of\nthe American Society of Photogrammetry, in Seattle, at which Mr. Kinnear was\nelected section president for 1968.\nSTAFF\nThere was an aggregate of 15 personnel separations during the year, which is\nabout normal. Among these are two worthy of special comment. On June 30,\n1967, Mr. Edward Phillip Creech, Technician 2 in the Air Division, retired on\nsuperannuation, having joined the Department as apprentice draughtsman April 1,\n1920, which implies over 47 years' service. Mr. Creech, a native of Victoria, had\na distinguished career in map compilation and draughting, serving in several divisions of the Branch, during which time he saw many changes both in people and\nin methods. The high standard of cadastral information on the Interim Map series\nand its correlation with the air-photo information is due in large measure to Mr.\nCreech's talents and his extensive background in all phases of map compilation.\nMr. Hubert Wilfred Ridley, Technician 1 in the Legal Surveys Division, resigned in March to enter private business, after nearly 25 years' service in the\nBranch. His initial assignment was in clerical and draughting work, after which\nMr. Ridley took advantage of opportunities to serve as a field survey assistant for\na number of years, including work on the British Columbia-Yukon Boundary survey.\nIn this, as in all his endeavours, he did well, qualifying as head chainman and finally\nas assistant to the party chief. In later years this balance of office and field experience qualified him to take charge of the Plans Inspection Section in the Legal\nSurveys Division, which covered the introduction of electronic data-processing for\nthis work. Mr. Ridley's long service with a consistent record of competence and\nreliability caused his resignation to be received with regret.\n r\nDD 52     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nTHE CENTENNIAL YEAR 1967\nAt 11.15 a.m. (Pacific Daylight Saving time) on June 21st, the day of the\nsummer solstice, British Columbia participated in simultaneous nation-wide Centennial ceremonies, paying tribute to surveyors for their work in measuring and\nmapping Canada during its first centenary, 1867 to 1967, and the establishment\nduring that period of the North American Geodetic Survey Datum across the length\nand breadth of our nation. The ceremony took the form of dedicating the site of\nBritish Columbia's Canadian Centennial survey monument in a selected spot in the\nprecinct of the new Provincial Museum in Victoria, and lasted about a half-hour.\nSimultaneously, similar Centennial survey monuments were dedicated in all the\nProvincial capitals across the country, in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, and in\nOttawa, the National capital. The writer, in his official capacity of Surveyor-\nGeneral and Director of Surveys and Mapping for the Province, was privileged to\nact as master of ceremonies. Invocation was by Brig. Victor C. Underhill, Salvation Army. The Honourable R. W. Bonner, Q.C., Attorney-General, gave the\ndedication address and unveiled the survey marker. Brief comments were made\nby several distinguished guests, His Worship H. R. Stephen, Mayor of Victoria;\nMr. R. B. Young, Director of the Canadian Hydrographic Survey (West Coast\nDivision); Mr. A. W. Wolfe-Milner, B.C.L.S., president of the British Columbia\nLand Surveyors Corporation; and Mr. A. H. Ralfs, Assistant Director of Surveys\nand Mapping for British Columbia and Provincial Councillor on the executive of\nthe Canadian Institute of Surveying, which inspired the nation-wide scheme. Space\ndoes not permit quoting the full text of the proceedings, which are filed in the Provincial Archives, but two extracts from the Honourable the Minister's address have\nbeen selected, as follows:\u2014\n\" It will be obvious, when we think about the importance of relative positions\nof survey points in human affairs, social, economic, and scientific, that since a point\nhas position only, and no dimension of itself, that each one must be supported and\nmarked, on a material which is stable, permanent, and visible, so that it may be\ndiscovered or recovered by anyone concerned. Regulations governing the survey\nof legal property boundaries in British Columbia specify an array of official survey\nmarkers according to the importance of the points or corners which they represent.\nNowadays, these markers are of metal for permanence, and in certain cases are\nembedded in concrete. In early days in B.C., when district lots were surveyed\nout of the wilderness by the pioneer surveyors, the corner posts were usually hewn\nout of local timber growing close at hand, and were supported in a cairn of rocks.\nIn addition, to help the settler find the corners of his homestead, the surveyors\nwould cut blazes on nearby trees, each blaze facing in the direction of the corner\npost. These were called bearing trees, and even today many of them have survived\nthe ravages of time to help the modern surveyor relocate an original lot corner in\nthe course of extending his surveys to new subdivisions and rights-of-way. And so\nit will be with our Centennial survey point, here. But instead of blazing nearby\ntrees, which might not please the Superintendent of Grounds, a beautiful and imaginative reference monument has been designed and is in the course of construction,\nto be installed here, near this Centennial point, when the final work on these precincts is approaching completion. Some interesting ideas for this monument were\nput forward by the supervising surveyor, Mr. W. A. Taylor, B.C.L.S., in the Legal\nSurveys Division of the B.C. Surveys and Mapping Branch, and were incorporated\nin an elegant and imaginative design by a local artist, Mr. J. C. S. Wilkinson.   .   .   .\n\" In conclusion, this Centennial survey monument commemorates the establishment, during the century 1867 to 1967, of the North American Geodetic Survey\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH\nDD 53\nDatum from ocean to ocean. Into this vast network of precisely co-ordinated and\npermanently marked points, all surveys and mapping of man's natural and cultural\nenvironment, his properties and his works, may be integrated so that in his use of\nthe land, chaos, conflict, and litigation may be replaced by order, co-ordination,\nand harmony. With similar survey monuments in other Provinces, the Territories,\nand in the National capital of Canada, it also signifies the pride and gratitude Canadians should take in and for this geodetic contribution to Confederation by our\nsurveyors and engineers.\"\nThe master of ceremonies concluded the ceremony as follows:\u2014\n\" In his remarks the Honourable Minister made reference to the use of astronomy by early surveyors and navigators. It is interesting, and I am sure Brigadier\nUnderbill will be gratified to know, that the latest sophistication in geodetic surveying has caused surveyors, once more, to take inspiration from the heavens. By\nvirtue of satellite triangulation, against a background of the celestial firmament,\ngeodetic surveyors are now measuring huge triangles having 3,000-mile sides, less\nthan 50 of which completely encompass the earth. So, it is encouraging to think\nthat the North American Geodetic Datum, represented here today by this modest\nCentennial survey monument before us, will be extended to become part of a World\nGeodetic Datum, uniting all the continents and the oceans of the world into a rigid,\nmeasured geodetic structure. We would hope it may, in time, thus symbolize the\nharmonius co-ordination of all nations and peoples into a world unity of peaceful\nbrotherhood.\"\nIn concluding this report for 1967 and resuming the vein of the introductory\nremarks, in the wisdom of old age, a father, when asked which of his many children\nwas his favourite, replied, \" The one which happens to be with me.\" When the\nwriter reviews the procession of 17 circumsolar orbits of the Surveys and Mapping\nBranch from the perspective of his official cockpit, the more recent years seem to\nhave been the most enjoyed and gratifying. Perhaps this is due to increasing\naccumulation of experience each year and the maturing capability of discerning the\nthings of real value from those of lesser worth. The year 1967, Canada's Centennial Year, for this Branch was one of the best on record, but with just enough\nwayward symptoms to remind us that discipline, especially self-discipline, can never\nbe relaxed.   Always must we strive to do better.\nBy way of epilogue to the foregoing report the following lines from the late\nHarry Hughes Browne, Provincial land surveyor, 1862-1932, may be appropriate:\u2014\u25a0\nBeneath this Cairn and Witness Post\nA Land Surveyor's bones are laid:\nThe Bearing Trees inform his ghost\nWhen hubs from Azimuth have strayed.\nAlong the front, where moved his tent,\nDeparture grew with Latitude,\nBut still he never saved a cent:\nHis recompense on high he viewed.\nHe seldom grumbled at his lot\n(Surveyors are not built that way),\nBut made the best of what he got,\nAnd called the fraction \" Parcel A.\"\nMethinks I hear this message short,\nAs from Polaris he looks down,\n\" Sir, I've the honour to report,\nYour most obedient servant,\nBrowne.\"\n DD 54     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nLEGAL SURVEYS DIVISION\nD. Pearmain, Chief\nThe Legal Surveys Division, under the direction of the Surveyor-General, is\nresponsible for cadastral surveys of all Crown lands of the Province. This entails\nthe issuing of instructions to the land surveyors engaged to make each survey and\nsupplying them with copies of field-notes and plans of adjoining or adjacent surveys.\nAfter the completion of the survey, the returns are forwarded to this office for checking and plotting. In the above returns are all right-of-way surveys, including those\nfor highways, railways, and transmission-lines. During the year, 1,143 sets of the\nabove instructions were issued, as against 1,181 during 1966.\nDuring the year, 643 sets of field-notes or survey plans covering the survey of\n937 lots were received in this office and duly indexed, checked, plotted, and official\nplans prepared therefrom. Of the above-mentioned surveys, 905 were made under\nthe Land Act and 32 under the Mineral Act. It is interesting to note that these 32\nlots surveyed under the Mineral Act encompassed 284 mineral claims, this being\nmade possible by the 1965 amendment to the Mineral Act allowing perimeter surveys of groups of mineral claims. At the present time there are approximately\n100,442 sets of field-notes on record in our vaults.\nThere were 463 plans received from land surveyors covering subdivisions and\nrights-of-way surveys which were made under the Land Registry Act. This is an\nincrease of 96 over the year 1966. These plans were duly indexed and checked,\nand certified copies deposited in the respective Land Registry Office.\nIn order that a graphic record may be kept of alienations of both surveyed and\nunsurveyed Crown lands together with reserves, a set of 262 reference maps covering the whole of the Province must be maintained. These show all cadastral surveys\nwhich are on file in the Department, and are kept up to date by new information\nas it accrues from day to day. Prints are available to the public (see Indexes 1 to 7\nin the envelope attached to the back cover of this Annual Report).\nAll applications to purchase or lease Crown lands or foreshore which are\nreceived by the Lands Branch and all applications to purchase Crown timber received by the Forest Service are channelled through this Division for clearance.\nThe orderly processing of these applications requires that an exhaustive status be\nmade from the reference maps, official plans, and Land Registry Office plans. From\nthe reference maps, together with other information and facilities maintained by\nthis Division, it is possible to give an up-to-the-minute status of any parcel of Crown\nland in the Province.\nIt was necessary during the year, for status and revision purposes, to obtain\n2,037 plans from the various Land Registry Offices.\nThis Division co-operates with the other departments of Government by preparing and checking legal descriptions which they require. Those assisted in this\nway were the Attorney-General's Department (descriptions of Small Debts Courts),\nthe Department of Agriculture (descriptions of diseases-free areas and pound districts), the Forest Service (descriptions of tree-farm licences and working circles),\nand the Lands Branch (descriptions for gazetted reserves, etc.). During the year,\n349 of the above descriptions were prepared and checked.\nREPRODUCTION SECTION\nThe Legal Surveys Division, through this section, continues to supply a service\nto all departments of Government and to the public, as well as supplying all the\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH\nDD 55:\nprints and photostats, etc., required by the Surveys and Mapping Branch. The total\nnumber of diazo prints made during the year was 353,882, in the preparation of\nwhich 337,800 yards or 203 miles of paper and linen were used. The number of\nphotostats, films, autopositives, etc., was 90,756. The number of Xerox copies\nmade was 157,278.\nOf the 353,882 diazo prints made, 56,757 were for the Surveys and Mapping\nBranch, 78,821 for other branches of the Department of Lands, Forests, and Water\nResources, 192,230 for other departments of Government, and 26,074 for the\npublic. Likewise of the 90,756 photostats, films, autopositives, etc., made, 27,447\nwere for the Surveys and Mapping Branch, 54,625 for other branches of the Department, 8,623 for other departments of Government, and 66 for the public.\nThe multilith machine turned out 708,588 copies during the year.\nCOMPOSITE MAP SECTION\nThis Section is responsible for the compilation and fair drawing of composite\nmaps, mostly on a scale of 500 feet to 1 inch, of the more densely subdivided areas\nof the Province, and especially where they occur in unorganized territory. (See\nIndex 3 inside back cover.)\nDuring the year no composite mapping was done, but all of the maps situated\nwithin the Kamloops Land Registration were revised and brought up to date.\nThe main effort of this Section this year was the recompilation and renewal of\nreference maps which, through constant use, had become worn and dirty. In\ncertain cases the scale of the new maps has been enlarged from 1 inch to 1 mile,\nto 1 inch to one-half mile. The total number of reference maps recompiled and\nredrawn during the year was 38.\nLAND EXAMINATION PLANS SECTION\nThis Section is responsible for the preparation of plans for the use of the Land\nInspectors in their examination of applications for Crown lands. These plans are a\nconsolidation of all the information available in this Department and pertinent to\nthe applications requiring inspection. A synopsis of the work accomplished by this\nSection during the past six years is as follows:\u2014\nYear\n1962.\n1963.\n1964.\nPlans Plans\nPrepared Year Prepared\n2,941      1965  2,212\n2,944      1966  2,808\n2,827      1967  2,753\nLAND REGISTRY OFFICE PLAN CHECKING SECTION\nThis Section supplies a service to the Land Registry Offices at Victoria, Vancouver, Kamloops, Nelson, Prince George, and Prince Rupert by giving a thorough\nand complete mathematical check to plans tendered for deposit in the said offices.\nThis mathematical check is accomplished through the use of the electronic computer\nwhich is available to this Division.\nDuring the year, 2,649 plans received this check, as compared to 2,463 in\n1966 and 2,436 in 1965.\nGENERAL\nThe receiving and distribution of survey-posts, which are stored at 859 Devonshire Road, has operated smoothly and efficiently.

However, during the past year the Data Processing Division has\nnot kept statistics as in previous years, and so the hours of usage of computer and\nkey-punching time are not available.\nProgramming\nThe following new programmes were completed:\u2014\n(1) Surmap 133 (\" Cosmos \").\u2014This programme for the adjustment of mixed\nsurvey data on the spheroid has replaced the \" Groom \" programme originally obtained from Ottawa.\n(2) Surmap 134.\u2014This programme was specifically designed for the computation and adjustment of long traverses (with distance measurements by\ntellurometer) that do not lend themselves to a least square adjustment\nas in \" Cosmos.\"\n(3) Surmap 135 (\"Bride 2 \").\u2014This is an improved version of the original\n\" Bride \" programme for the adjustment of traverse networks. The new\nprogramme will compute and adjust mixed survey data\u2014in the same way\nas \" Cosmos \"\u2014but in terms of rectangular co-ordinates. Its principal\napplication is the adjustment of the control networks required for integrated survey areas.\n(4) Surmap 136.\u2014A programme for the computation of sun azimuth observations primarily used by the Water Resources Branch.\n(5) Surmap 159 (Map-sheet Plotting Programme).\u2014This programme, designed and used by the Photogrammetric Section, enables co-ordinates\nresulting from the Block Adjustment Programme to be automatically\nplotted by map-sheets on a plotting-machine on line with the computer.\nThis eliminates a tedious and time-consuming task in the map compilation process.\nReprogramming in Fortran IV for I.B.M. System\/360\nSystem\/360 was first made use of by the Surveys and Mapping Branch in July.\nIt is a powerful computer as compared with the 1620 and provides a greatly increased memory capacity and speeds up to 12 times faster. By the end of the year,\nconversion to Fortran IV, including many minor improvements, had been completed\nfor the following programmes:\u2014\nOld\nProgramme\nSM113\nSM114\nSM117\nNew Fortran\nIV Programme\nLLS113\nLTC114\nLPS 117\nDescription\nLegal Survey Plan Checking and Traverse Programme.\nReduction of Distance to Horizontal at Sea-level.\nAerotriangulation Strip Adjustment.\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH\nDD 57\nOld\nProgramme\nSM124\nSM125\nNew Fortran\nIV Programme\nLTC 124\nLTC 125\n\u2014 LTC 126\nSM133\nSM135\nLTC 133\nLTC 135\nDescription\nDirect and Inverse Geodetic Computations.\nConversion between Geographicals and Polyconic Rectangular Co-ordinates.\nConversion from \" Dominion Manual \" to Polyconic Rectangular Co-ordinates.\n\" Cosmos.\" Adjustment of Mixed Survey Data\nin Geographical Co-ordinates.\n\" Bride.\" Adjustment of Mixed Survey Data in\nRectangular Co-ordinates.\n(Note.\u2014The alphabetic prefixes to programme numbers are: LLS=Lands,\nLegal Surveys Division; LPS=Lands, Photogrammetric Section; LTC\u2014Lands,\nTrigonometric Control Section.)\nAt the end of the year the above programmes were all running on System\/360;\nhowever, the Branch is still dependent on the 1620 for several programmes. Work\non converting these is in progress and should be completed early in 1968.\nInquiries regarding several programmes have been received from outside survey organizations, and, in accordance with Branch policy, listings of the programmes and instructions for their operation have been made available free of\ncharge when the outside organization has access to a suitable computer.\nSummary of Office Work for the Years 1966 and 1967,\nLegal Surveys Division\n1966 1967\nNumber of field books received          654 643\n\u201e         lots surveyed       1,013 937\nlots plotted          763 589\nlots gazetted          828 702\nlots cancelled            19 87\nlots amended          230 353\n\u201e         mineral-claim field books prepared            92 25\n\u201e         reference maps compiled or renewed___           35 38\n\u201e         applications for purchase cleared       1,302 1,093\n\u201e         applications for pre-emption cleared            65 41\napplications for lease cleared       4,935 6,026\n\u201e         timber sales cleared       4,105 4,247\n\u201e         Crown-grant applications cleared       1,069 989\n\u201e         cancellations made       3,117 2,149\n\u201e         inquiries cleared       1,106 1,268\n\u201e         letters received and dealt with       6,488 6,569\n\u201e         land-examination plans       2,808 2,753\n\u201e         Crown-grant and lease tracings made      6,635 7,759\nphotostats made  163,714 90,756\ndiazo prints made  300,458 353,882\noffset prints made  435,614 708,588\nXerox  157,278\n DD 58     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nFIELD WORK\nSubdivision of Crown Land\nTwo large acreage parcels were surveyed at Telkwa, two more on the Kettle\nRiver, one at Comox, and parts of several city blocks in Vancouver on False Creek.\nThis latter work was to facilitate an exchange of lands with the Canadian Pacific\nRailway. Another exchange of land at Grand Forks required three acreage parcels\nto be surveyed. A small parcel of land on Hope Slough near Chilliwack, which\nhad virtually gone unnoticed for many years, was brought into the register by\nsurvey.   Small lots created are tabulated as follows:\u2014\nWaterfront Lease Lots\nStave Lake  32\nHannah Lake  3 3\nCluculz Lake  92\nFraser Lake  29\nBabine Lake  35\nRail Lake  67\nSandspit  19\nTotal  3 07\nRural Roadside Lots\nCariboo Road near Williams Lake  60\nBlackwater Road near Prince George   22\nChilliwack Lake  1\nLytton-Lillooet Highway  1\nTotal     84\nInterdepartmental Surveys\nWork for other departments accounted for a larger proportion of our time than\nis usual. The Department of Public Works requested and received a topographic\nplan and boundary survey at Raleigh Camp, completion of survey and registration\nof plans of the Wilkinson Road gaol property, posting of five parking-lots in the\nGovernment Buildings Precinct area in Victoria, a building-site at the Kamloops\nVocational School property, two lots at Abbotsford Agricultural Centre, and one\non McKenzie Avenue in Saanich for a vehicle-testing station.\nThe Forest Service required forest access roads to be surveyed through Indian\nreserves at Paul Lake, on the Harrison Lake-Lillooet River Road, and on the\nChilliwack Lake Road. A radio repeater site and right-of-way to it was surveyed\non the hill north of Grand Forks.\nThe Parks Branch had us make a survey on Wahleach (Jones) Lake and a\nfurther one at Seton Portage for a historical site.\nA large reposting of streets in an area close to Grand Forks was done at the\nrequest of the Department of Highways.\nThe PubUc Utilities Commission requested the reposting of an old cemetery\nat Hazelton.\nOne large lot of 27 acres was surveyed at Ootischenia for the Land Settlement\nBoard.\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH\nDD 59\nReposting and Restoration\nAlthough the programme of restoration by a full-time party was again impossible due to lack of a surveyor for this purpose, considerable reposting was again\naccomplished in connection with the many varied Departmental surveys carried\nout. The legal survey of highways accounted for the bulk of district lot and section\ncorners which were remonumented this year, the total of which was 181.\nInspections and Miscellaneous Surveys\nAn inspection survey at Westview was carried out for the Lands Service to\ndetermine ownership of occupied land on the waterfront. Nearby at Myrtle Point\na contested boundary between two properties was run and an opinion given to the\nRegistrar of Titles.\nTwo mineral claims in the vicinity of Rock Creek were located and tied in by\nsurvey to quarrying operations, and a report was written.\nThe relationship of high-water mark at Cowichan Bay and Sidney was determined with respect to subdivision for which certificates were sought under section\n102 (3) of the Land Registry Act, and one application rejected.\nA survey which was started some years ago as a park-site for the Provincial\nGovernment was abandoned when it was found on survey that the donor did not\nown the site. However, the park-site was surveyed and plans prepared for signature\nof the actual owner.\nSmall rights-of-way were surveyed on the Ryder Lake subdivision near Chilliwack, at Grand Forks, Fraser Lake, and at Kamloops.\nOther miscellaneous surveys were made at the University Endowment Lands\nand at Spences Bridge.\nA resurvey of three lots on Cluculz Lake was necessary because of an error\nin posting in a survey done years ago for this Department.\nHighways\nThree survey parties accomplished a total of 60.3 miles of highway surveying.\nThe bulk of this was carried out by a large party in the Merritt area, which accounted for 34.4 miles. The balance was almost equally divided between parties\non the Northern Trans-Provincial Highway east of Prince George and on the\nKootenay-Columbia Highway between Radium and Golden. Of the latter stretch,\n9 miles was tied into the Provincial triangulation system.\n DD 60     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nTOPOGRAPHIC DIVISION\nA. G. Slocomb, B.C.L.S., Chief\nA continuance of the policy of the Interdepartmental Co-ordinating Committee\non Surveys and Mapping whereby this Division was provided with the necessary\nfunds for special mapping and survey control needs gave the opportunity for a\nvery busy year.\nThe largest of the field parties operated in the north-east portion of the Province with headquarters at Fort Nelson. A continuation of last year's work for the\nDepartment of Mines and Petroleum Resources, it basically was an up-grading of\nthe triangulation along with precise level control of the whole area between the 60th\nparallel, the 120th meridian, and the Alaska Highway, with the south boundary the\nonly flexible one.   Progress was made to the Fontas River.\nOne contract was awarded to Klondike Helicopters Ltd. that provided two\nHiller UH12E helicopters for the Fort Nelson area for a period of four months and\none Bell G3 for the Stewart area for a period of three months. Weather is always\na major factor in any contract, and this year was a good example of what it will do\nto an operation, the contract having a minimum monthly charge maximum hours\nclause. At Fort Nelson, with better than average weather, the maximum hours were\nreached in three months, while at Stewart, with poor weather, all the time was used\nbut the minimum hours flown.\nThe Department's De Havilland Otter aircraft was used to excellent purpose\nduring June, July, and August on the Fort Nelson job, then assisted the Stewart crew\nin September. It was flown 450 hours, which was 150 hours more than the previous\nhigh record for one year's operation. Full credit for such a successful year must be\ngiven to the pilot-mechanic, who maintains as well as pilots the plane.\nThe relatively flat muskeg-covered work area of the Fort Nelson project is\nlaced with seismic cut lines, and it was along these that the traverse and level fines\nwere run. There was a great contrast in the condition and age of these cut lines, for\nthey varied in width from 15 to 40 feet and from clear to overgrown. Up-to-date\nair-photo mosaics were made of the whole area, but it was impossible to ascertain\nfrom these the condition of the fine, and consequently a great deal of time had to be\nspent on reconnaissance for the level and traverse routes. Camp-sites were chosen,\nand the bench-marks were located and set ahead of the level crews. After the\ntraverse route was chosen, the crews set their own monuments as the placing of\nthese required intervisibility. The two helicopters transported all the men and their\nequipment to the camp-sites and were used for reconnaissance, logging 807 hours\nbetween them during the three months they worked.\nA system of interconnecting levels was run, and elevations were derived from\nthe boundary monuments along the 60th parallel and the 120th meridian, and from\nthe Geodetic Survey of Canada bench-marks along the Fort Simpson Trail. Additional elevations were also derived from bench-marks along the Alaska Highway and\nfrom Imperial Oil Company levels. A total of 216 new bench-marks were set and\nlevelled, and 57 traverse stations were included in the level runs. The level crews\nfly-camped on the seismic lines at the pre-selected camp-sites and worked out in both\ndirections from there. Fly-camping was a new experience to many of the temporary\nsummer help, and most of them adapted well to it. Credit should be given to the\ninstrumentmen, who managed to maintain a high level of morale amongst their\ncrews, working under very adverse conditions.\nThe traverses were also run along pre-selected seismic lines, with the angular\nwork read with Wild T2 theodolites and the distances read with MRA3 telluro-\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH\nDD 61\nmeters. All distances of under 1,000 feet were also check-chained. A total of 309\nstations was occupied, of which 278 were new stations. Three ties were made to\nthe British Columbia-Alberta Boundary and one to the British Columbia-Northwest\nTerritories Boundary, as well as to seven bench-marks, two petroleum and natural-\ngas posts, and two right-of-way monuments. Field closures were made on all the\ntraverse runs and indicated accuracy of 1:10,000 or better.\nWorthy of note is the special equipment fabricated in the Air Division workshop that again proved its worth. The traverse crews used a tripod with long legs\nthat could be extended to give an instrument height of 10 feet. This allowed the line\nof sight to be elevated above the scrub which had grown up along the seismic lines,\neliminating a lot of line-cutting. The 6-foot aluminum poles with a sliding bracket\nthat can be clamped made ideal turning points for the levellers, and many times a\nset of three of these driven into spongy footing gave a good set-up for an instrument.\nThe total complement of this crew was 45, five of whom were permanent-staff\nmembers and the rest temporary summer help, mainly university students.\nThe second crew operated from Stewart, with a main camp at Surprise Creek\non the Stewart-Cassiar Road. Control was obtained for 17 National Topographic\nSeries 1: 50,000-scale manuscripts in the Unuk River and the Nass River watershed\nareas. Two of our vehicles were used on the road, and the chartered Bell G3 helicopter for mountain landings. A chartered fixed-wing aircraft was used for the Unuk\nRiver area before the Department's Otter aircraft joined them in September.\nTopographic survey station \" Shale,\" still standing, erected 1950.   Location south of\nBowser Lake, Nass River area, looking east.\n DD 62     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nThis chronic weather area with its high crags and many glaciers is a very difficult part of the Province in which to obtain control for topographic mapping. While\nthe helicopter is the answer to many of the problems, it was found that not just any\nmachine will do. The G3 used did the job, but, due to its limited performance, also\nposed extra problems for the surveyor in charge. Fine weather is a rare commodity\nin this area, and when it comes everything has to be organized to take full advantage\nand keep the extra trips to a minimum. Gasoline caches and consumption and the\nextra power for high landing and take-off, plus the inability to carry two men and a\nload to high places, were a few of the problems this year. In the future it would be\nbetter to make certain that when a similar area is to be surveyed, only a machine of\nthe calibre of a Bell G3 B1 or better be chartered.\nHaving one assignment in the Arrow Lakes section of the Province, another\nwas accepted nearby and the two partially combined. We were committed on a\nco-operative effort with the Geodetic Survey of Canada and designed a triangulation\nnetwork between the existing geodetic stations at Trail, Creston, and Revelstoke.\nFollowing approval by the Geodetic Survey of this plan, the new stations were\nproved up and monumented in the field, using cars or helicopter as required. Our\npart of the work was completed on schedule, and the geodetic observing crew commenced its observations immediately, expecting to complete the Trail-Creston loop\nthis year with the balance to be incorporated into its future programme in British\nColumbia.\nThe extra assignment consisted of establishing a network of stations by telluro-\nmeter traverse above the take line of the proposed flooding of the Arrow Lakes to\naid in the preservation of existing cadastral surveys. This traverse was to be tied to\na second-order triangulation control network with sides of approximately 10 miles\ncommencing at the geodetic stations in the south and tying in to those at the north\nend of the Arrow Lakes, and will be included in the co-operative survey now in\nprogress. The traverse stations so set will also be a basis for future cadastral surveys\nfollowing the flooding.   Twelve new main triangulation stations were set and 132\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH\nDD 63\ntellurometer control points were fixed, with trigonometric levels carried through\nthese systems. Fourteen ties were made to the control stations from the triangulation, which has the effect of breaking the lengthy traverse into 14 independent\ntraverse loops. Up-to-date air photography flown in June allowed field air-photo\nidentification to be made at each station occupied where practical.\nUse was made of boats and cars for transport, and a helicopter chartered from\nOkanagan Helicopters Ltd. on a day basis was used for the high stations. Due to\nthe high temperatures that were reached in this area in August, a forest closure\nforbade slash-burning, which was fortunate as it allowed completion of instrument\ngeodetic triangulation \u00ae\nprovincial triangulation a\ntellurometer   stations    \u2022\n DD 64     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nwork on schedule before smoke haze interfered with visibility. Temperature readings of over 100\u00b0 F. were recorded, which was responsible for some sizeable\nmeteorological readings for the tellurometers.\nNumerous integrated survey projects were worked on during the year. The\nfirst was in the Municipality of the District of Surrey, completing that portion of the\nmunicipality that has now been declared as Integrated Survey Area No. 1. Next\nwere the Municipalities of the Districts of North and West Vancouver and the City\nof North Vancouver. At Nelson, work was accomplished there before moving on\nto Cranbrook, to finish the control commenced a year previous. Finally some additional work was completed at the City of Dawson Creek.\nField work was also carried out for nine different mapping requirements for\nvarious departments\u2014namely, a fish-hatchery site near Abbotsford, the Colquitz\nVocational Training School site near Victoria, additional mapping at Saltair for the\nDepartment of Public Works, three dam-sites on the Peace River downstream from\nthe W. A. C. Bennett Dam, proposed dam-sites at Jordan River for the International\nPower and Engineering Consultants Ltd., control for mapping of a flooding area on\nthe Kitimat River for Water Resources Service, a slide area for the Department of\nHighways, an archaeological site on Gabriola Island for the Provincial Museum, and\nadditional site mapping for the Solarium.\nEight and one-half National Topographic map-sheets, plus two partial sheets,\ntotalling approximately 2,860 square miles, were compiled in the Photogrammetric\nSection. In addition, bridging was completed for the Central E. & N. mapping\nand one other map-sheet, Mess Creek 104 G\/10. There were 24 large-scale projects, ranging in scale from 100 to 1,000 feet to 1 inch, consisting of 15 for the\nWater Resources, 2 for the Department of Highways, 2 for the Department of\nRecreation and Conservation, 2 for Regional Planning, 1 for the Department of\nMines and Petroleum Resources, 1 for the Forest Service, and 1 for the Federal Department of Transport.\nDelivery was accepted of an Aristo co-ordinatograph during the year, which\nhas been used extensively, and a change in method whereby an overlay system is\nnow used to assist the Federal Department to produce the lithograph map-sheets,\nrequiring four times as many plotting sheets to be prepared. The grids for all the\nlarge-scale plotting are prepared by this machine, and the accuracy and speed that\nis possible make this a very welcome addition.\nOne interesting feature of this year's operation was the bridging of the Mess\nCreek map-sheet, mentioned in the synopsis above. First, by a single bridge prepared in the multiplex, using relative orientation only to plot the control and pass\npoints and to read the elevations of all points required. The sheet is then transferred to the A7 co-ordinatograph, where, using the EK5 automatic features, the\nx, y, and z values of all these points are recorded. This information is put through\nour I.B.M. strip adjustment programme and finally through the block adjustment, from which is received the final co-ordinates. These results are segregated\nby programme into mapping areas and fed to the Calcomp digital incremental\nplotter for automatic plotting on paper in half map-sheet form. It is hoped in the\nnear future to obtain stable base material for this machine and so eliminate the\nfinal step, which is the transferring from the paper to stable base material all of\nthese plotted positions. This Calcomp plotter, just recently purchased by the\nDepartment of Highways and installed in the Computer Centre, is an enormous\ntime-saver; for example, there were approximately 900 points on the Mess Creek\nsheet, which were plotted in V\/i hours. To do this manually it would take one\nman approximately six days.\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH\nDD 65\nThe Draughting Section reports the compilation of 28 standard topographic\nmanuscripts at the scale of 2 inches to 1 mile and 80 large-scale mapping plans at\nvarious scales. In addition, the plotting of the cadastral survey on 70 Federal\nGovernment 1:50,000-scale manuscripts was completed. One hundred and thirty-\neight mosaics were assembled, 122 of which were of the Fort Nelson project.\nThese were photo-rectified to scale and sent out to the field party for use in\nchoosing routes and assisting the crews in many ways. They were the only maps\navailable that showed the seismic lines. The other 16 mosaics were distributed to\nthe various departments requesting them. Two integrated survey plans were\ncompleted.\nThe Federal Government now has 64 of our 1:50,000-scale manuscripts on\nhand for printing, which are in various stages of reproduction.\nCopies of the photogrammetric large-scale mapping and the completed manuscripts listed following this report are available on request.

R. Young, B.C.L.S., Chief\nAs indicated by the number of map-sheets reproduced and distributed, volume\nof correspondence, and requisitions for maps, the Geographic Division enjoyed a\nvery active year in 1967. Table E shows that the number of maps issued to Government departments and the general public exceeds six figures by a wide margin,\nclimbing from 95,540 in 1966 to a record 114,723 in 1967. Correlative to this\n20-per-cent upsurge in map distribution was an 18-per-cent increase in letters received and attended to. The value of maps sold and distributed also rose to an\nall-time high record of $73,550. As a reflection of the trend during the last decade,\nthe number of maps distributed in 1957 totalled only 55,167, with a value of\n$20,441.\nThe Division lost the services of its Chief Draughtsman, who resigned in July\nto take a teaching position in the Victoria Technical School. We wish him every\nsuccess in this new endeavour. There was only one other resignation in September,\nfrom the Trigonometric Control Section. Other personnel changes which occurred\nduring the year were the promotion of Mr. L. G. Smith (Senior Draughtsman), who\nwon by competition the Chief Draughtsman's position with a grade of Technician 1.\nTwo other promotions occurred, of Draughtsman 1 to Draughtsman 2, by successfully passing qualifying examinations after the requisite amount of service.\nIt was noted in last year's Lands Service Annual Report that in spite of a\nbacklog of 122 Provincial manuscripts awaiting printing at Ottawa, the number of\nProvincial topographic manuscripts prepared and reproduced at 1:50,000 scale by\nthe Canadian Government, Ottawa, during 1966 was nil. In contrast, the Federal\nGovernment reproduced 62 Provincial manuscripts in 1967 and the backlog fell to\n64. These are listed in Table K. Now that the reorganization of Federal mapping\nagencies is virtually complete, we anticipate further reduction of the number of\nmanuscripts awaiting lithography. Major stocks were also received of another 48\nhalf-sheets at 1:50,000 scale which were produced from Federal Government\nmanuscripts. In addition, a small supply of 20 provisional 1:50,000 sheets, five\n1:250,000 sheets, and two 1:25,000 sheets was obtained from Federal Government\nmapping agencies.\nThe Geographical Gazetteer of British Columbia, 1966, was received from\nOttawa for distribution to Provincial Government offices early in the year and for\npublic distribution through the Queen's Printer, Ottawa, or the Queen's Printer\nBookshop, 657 Granville Street, Vancouver, B.C.\nA total of 15 maps was prepared and reproduced by the Geographic Division\nin 1967 (see Table H). Seven were entirely new, three were reprints with no revision, one was over-printed with roads, and four were completely revised reprints.\nOne of the most popular maps ever produced by this Division made its appearance in the latter months of 1967. Map SGS-1 (Vancouver Island) was lithographed at l-inch-to-6-miles scale, the maximum scale that would show the whole\nIsland on a 30\" x 42\" sheet. Several factors have contributed to its popularity.\nThis was the first full map produced by the Geographic Division using the technique\nof shaded relief. Also, the 10-colour reproduction allows both cultural and physical\ndetail to be shown to maximum advantage. Map SGS-1 is further enhanced by the\naddition of historical and geographical notations and authentic border illustrations\nof Indian artifacts. Besides the Vancouver Island map, four new Provincial land\nstatus sheets at 1:250,000 scale also appeared\u2014namely, 92p (Bonaparte River),\n DD 74     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\n93a (Quesnel Lake), 93i (Monkman Pass), and 93J (McLeod Lake). As noted\nin the 1966 Annual Report, these sheets complete the replacement of Pre-emptor\nMaps 3g, 3j, and 3a. At the end of 1967, only two Pre-emptor Series maps were\nstill being distributed, 3c (Stuart Lake) and 3e (Peace River). Two new maps at\nl-inch-to-2-miles scale were lithographed. These were second status editions of\n82L\/SE (Sugar Lake) and 82L\/SW (Vernon). A road revision was over-printed\non the 1960 edition of 92e (Nootka) so that it may be matched with the newer\nadjoining sheets, 92f and 92l.\nWhen Table J (Maps Being Prepared by Geographic Division during 1967)\nis examined, it may be seen that with the forthcoming publication of sheets 92n\n(Mount Waddington) and 92l-102i (Alert Bay) we will have achieved full land\nstatus coverage at either 1:250,000 or l-inch-to-2-miles scale for all of the heavily\npopulated part of the Province south of 55\u00b0 north latitude.\nAs has been usual in the past, the Geographic Division completed a variety of\nspecial projects for other Governmental departments or the public (see Table F).\nExamples of such work are publication of a fourth edition of the British Columbia\nAir Facilities Map, metes and bounds descriptions for revised boundaries of school\ndistricts, preparation of strip maps for the Tourist Accommodation Directory, and\nroad classifications for several Canadian and American publishers of highway maps.\nA total of 22 jobs with a combined value of $2,927.13 was recorded.\nThough the 48 map-sheets or charts checked for the Canadian Permanent\nCommittee on Geographical Names was 37 fewer than in 1966, the number of\nnames checked was 1,590 higher. Three hundred and fourteen new place-names\nwere recorded on file cards. A six-year statistical resume of work connected with\ngeographical names is contained in Table D.\nThe Research Officer made a field trip to the Kamloops area in connection with\nrevision of Land Series Bulletin No. 6 (Kamloops). He also prepared minor revisions of Bulletins Nos. 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 for reprinting, while Nos. 1, 5, and 6\nwere reprinted without revision to replace depleted stocks. Altogether, 35,500\nbulletins were produced by the Queen's Printer in 1967. In addition, a brief outline\nof general information for persons interested in applying for Crown land was overprinted on the margin of the fold-out map in Land Series Bulletin No. 11 (The\nAcquisition of Crown Lands in British Columbia). This enables the map to be\nprinted and distributed separately from the bulletin and is particularly useful when\nreplying to land inquiries of a very casual or general nature.\nTwo members of the Division journeyed to the Southern Interior for the purpose of checking cultural detail on Maps 92J\/NE (Bridge River), 92I\/NE (Kamloops Lake), and 82L\/NW (Shuswap Lake). The information obtained will appear on the editions of those sheets currently being prepared.\nWork completed by the Trigonometric Control Section is summarized in Tables\nA, B, and C. Least-square adjustments by the \"Groom\" (I.B.M. 1620) or\n\" Cosmos \" (I.B.M. 360) computer programmes (Table A) involved 448 triangles\nor traverse stations in eight locations. Another major computational programme\nusing the \" Bride \" system of least-square adjustment saw 765 traverse stations in\nDelta and Surrey processed. Some 220 petroleum and natural-gas well-site plans\nwere checked in 1967.\nComplete Indexes to Published Maps, Indexes 8 to 14, may be found in the\nmanila envelope attached to the back cover of this

Kinnear, B.C.R.F., Chief\nFLYING OPERATIONS\nA total of 83 projects, out of a total of 94 requested, was completed during the\nyear, with the highest amount of hours flown ever recorded in the Division. Both\nBeech aircraft flew a total of 706V2 hours during the flying season to expose 34,540\nnew negatives covering 67,420 square miles.\nThe weather during the main flying season was most co-operative in the areas\nof highest-priority forest inventory sustained-yield units. Even though the unseasonably cold spring weather delayed the start of field operations about three weeks,\nphotography in North-eastern British Columbia was completed during April and\nMay in time for the field survey parties on the ground to make full use of the prints.\nThe one major project that was not completed was in the Smithers area for ARDA.\nThis particular project will be carried forward to be completed in 1968.\nEktachrome colour and Ektachrome infra-red films were exposed again this\nyear with excellent results. The usefulness of these special films has been proven,\nand the added cost over standard panchromatic film is justified for special studies.\nAgain another season of no photographic time loss, owing to aircraft unservice-\nability, has been recorded, which speaks highly of the efficiency and conscientiousness of the maintenance staff and the programme of thorough preventive maintenance.\nEarly in the year the Department of Transport issued a directive which required\nmany models of the Beech 18 aircraft (of which ours is one) to have the main spar\nX-rayed every 200 hours. Both BCD and BCE aircraft were X-rayed prior to the\nfield season. Later in the summer the Department of Transport eased this regulation to read every 500 hours instead of every 200 hours. At the present rate of\naccumulating time on the aircraft, the next X-ray will come due midway through\nthe next flying season.\nOwing to a leak in the starboard outer gas tank, the BCE aircraft was operated\nfor approximately the last month of the season at somewhat reduced maximum\nrange. In effect, it was a reduction of 1 Vi hours in the maximum endurance of the\naircraft. It was decided to continue to operate this way for the remainder of the\nseason because of the rapid reduction of available photographic light per day at\nthis time of the year, and because of the problems involved, such as the necessity of\nremoving the wing in order to repair the tank. The tank is now being repaired and\nall other tanks are being checked during the routine winter maintenance.\nA lack of experienced air survey pilots during the flying season hampered\noperations, and some loss of photographic weather was experienced this year. The\nI.F.R. (Instrument Flight Regulations) capability of the photographic aircraft could\nnot be utilized due to the inexperienced pilots.\nTwo new Zeiss RMK 30\/23 12-inch focal-length air survey cameras were put\ninto service during the summer and used primarily on the Forest Inventory programme. These cameras were a welcome replacement to the older and unreliable\nO.S.C. equipment, and should serve their purpose for years to come. Large-scale\ncolour photography was also exposed in these Zeiss cameras.\nThe accompanying graph of hours flown by aircraft of this Division during the\npast 20 years shows the record achieved in 1967 and also shows the diversification\nof flying operations over these years. Modifying the photographic aircraft with\nI.F.R. equipment has allowed the operations to be conducted with more mobility\n DD 80     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nand weather opportunities can be utilized as they occur throughout the Province.\nIn providing an experienced and conscientious air crew with modern equipment,\nhigh productivity can be expected.\nComplete records of accomplishment for the year will be found at the end of\nthis report.\nPLANIMETRIC MAPPING\nThe plotting of control and compilation of surveys for the mapping of Forest\nService inventory areas was completed for the following sustained-yield units: Fort\nNelson, Kinbasket, Rivers Inlet, Big Valley-Cottonwood, Nootka, Bowron, Sechelt,\nand Ashnola-Similkameen. The services of the I.B.M. 1620 computer were used\nfor the first time in this Division to adjust two long traverse routes in the Ashnola\nand Similkameen areas. The results were very gratifying, and it is intended that\nmore control data will be accommodated in this manner in the future.\nControl for 347 20-chain sheets and five 40-chain sheets was plotted during\nthe year.\nPrincipal-point lay-down sheets (474) were made from nearly 15,000 new air\nphotos taken during the 1966 and 1967 field seasons, and Kail plotting was completed for 295 sheets.\nFinal tracings at the 20-chains-to-l-inch scale were completed for 140 map-\nsheets in the sustained-yield unit areas as well as 21 map-sheets at the scale of 40\nchains to 1 inch in the Quatsino area for the Surveyor of Taxes.\nThe use of final planimetric maps can be measured by the fact that nearly 6,500\nOzalid prints were made from the final tracings on hand.\nThe revision of district lot surveys on both the 20-chain and 40-chain sheets\nis a task that continually falls behind in accomplishment. The new work of mapping\ncurrent sustained-yield unit areas does not allow time to keep revisions up to date,\nand consequently, within perhaps a month's time, the map recentiy produced can be\nout of date and unreliable. This condition, while recognized, cannot be overcome\nwith the existing work load.\nThe final indexing of all new photography taken during 1967 was plotted on\nauto-positive sheets for use in the Air Photo Library.\nTwo special mapping projects, outside the use of this Department, were undertaken for specific purposes. The first was a planimetric map at a scale of 1,000 feet\nto 1 inch of the Greater Vancouver watershed area, and the second was the mapping\nof a lot on Vancouver Island for the Surveyor of Taxes at both a 20-chain scale and\na 40-chain scale.\nThis Section has been faced, during the past year, with a particularly heavy\nturnover of personnel. Promotions and transfer of experienced mapping assistants\nto other departments and the resignations of junior personnel have resulted in a loss\nof accomplishment. More time has been expended this year, and will continue into\nnext year, by the remaining senior members on training the replacement staff.\nThe retirement of Mr. E. P. Creech, Technician 2, in charge of this Section,\nwas marked by many tributes by all of his friends in Surveys and Mapping Branch.\nMr. Creech leaves the Division a monument of ability and integrity that will long\nbe remembered. Mr. L. D. Hall, Mapping Assistant 4, was appointed to succeed\nMr. Creech on June 12, 1967.\nINSTRUMENT-SHOP\nA year of high production, including maintenance of existing equipment and\nthe design and building of specialized instruments, is recorded in the Instrument-\nshop.\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH\nDD 81\nAmong the items requiring considerable time and technical competence was\nthe system developed for the Department of Highways to record highway features\non 16-mm. film from a moving vehicle. The Department of Highways provided\na Bolex 16-mm. movie camera, and the Instrument-shop designed and built the\nauxiliary equipment necessary to convert the camera to an automatic recorder. A\ntotal of 475 man-hours was expended on this project alone, but if it provides the\ninformation necessary for safer highway design, the time was well spent.\nAnother highly technical and specialized project was the work done on the\nForest Service Linhof 70-mm. cameras for stereo-photography from a helicopter.\nConsiderable modifications were required to convert these cameras for this purpose,\nand the results should be evident during the next field season. These cameras were\nnot designed with a photogrammetric purpose in mind, and some optical readjustments had to be made. For example, new fiducial marks were manufactured in the\nInstrument-shop and installed in both cameras, after which they were placed in\na collimator for assessment and measurement. A photograph of this procedure is\nshown below.\n^*-TMTrnaT.B_jM>\nSeventy-mm. Linhof camera, used for helicopter air photography, mounted for testing\nin Instrument-shop collimator.\nConsiderable investigational work was carried out in addition to actual construction and maintenance projects. Tests for determining optimum exposures on\nEktachrome colour and infra-red film for both 9-inch and 70-mm. sizes were conducted and served to reduce field testing times.\nSensitometric values were studied on processed panchromatic film to determine\nvariances caused by the rewind system of air-film processing. As a result of these\nstudies, a change in chemical formula for processing was indicated, and a suggested\nchange in field exposure settings would allow a greater latitude for field operations.\n DD 82     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nThe end result was a photographic print that gave a greater tonal range with better\ndefinition throughout.\nA total of 144 projects was completed in the Instrument-shop this year, among\nwhich were redesign and start construction of two new epidiascopes; design and\nconstruct a new print-drying \" whirler \"; construct a new aircraft camera mount to\ninstall either the Wild 6-inch or the Zeiss 12-inch camera; adapt survey bolts and\nequipment for use in the survey of North-eastern British Columbia; service electronic\nprinters in Process Laboratory; repair and adjust Forest Service binoculars and\nhand-compasses.\nThe Instrument-shop is rapidly moving into the area of scientific development\nof equipment and methods to be used in the future. The new camera equipment\nnow in use in Air Division aircraft has resulted in a decreased amount of camera\nmaintenance required, and the shop personnel can devote its talent to the more\nsophisticated pieces of equipment required in Surveys and Mapping Branch.\nModern methods require modern equipment and techniques, and we are fortunate\nin having an Instrument-shop that can make this transition.\nAIR PHOTO LIBRARY\nTotal revenue from the sale and loan of air photographs was slightly over\n$75,000 this year in spite of the decreased demand for reprint purchases. The loans\nincreased to 105,994 copies, some 9,000 prints over last year.\nWhile total figures may vary from year to year and become interesting statistics\nto analyse, the over-all use of the Air Photo Library continues to play a prominent\nroll in the function of this Division. This use is evident in the graph at the end of\nthis report showing the total sale and loan of air photos during the past 20-year\nperiod.\nOne of the gratifying uses of air photos today is in the elementary- and\nsecondary-school systems throughout the Province. More and more requests are\nbeing handled in the library from teachers preparing social studies and geography\nassignments for their students.\nStereograms of geographical features are being made in the library for use,\nparticularly, in schools throughout the Province. These stereograms are reprinted\non 10\" x 10\" photographic paper and are being sold at the current price of an air\nphoto. It is intended to produce more of these stereograms as interesting geological\nfeatures are seen.\nComplete statistics for traffic through the library will be found at the end of\nthis report.\nPROCESS LABORATORY\nThe total production of 10\" x 10\" reprints during 1967 did not reach the peak\nachieved in 1966, but the figure of 184,527 is still impressive.\nThe accompanying chart shows the production rate of reprints since 1947,\nwhen the Process Laboratory was first organized, and the figures speak for themselves.\nIn anticipating the continuing use being made of British Columbia Government\nair photos, a second electronic printer was put into service during the year and is\nproducing the same high-standard print as the original Cintel printer. This type of\nequipment not only allows the production of mass-produced quality reprints, but it\nreduces the time customers formerly had to wait for reprint service.\nInfra-red Ektachrome positive film was processed, giving excellent results for\nstudies in forest entomology, and Ektachrome colour positive film was processed\nfor orchard studies by the Department of Agriculture.   The many uses being dis-\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH\nDD 83\ncovered for various colour films brings this medium in from the experimental stage\nto a full production basis, and more of this type of film will be required in the future.\nProduction figures for all services of the Process Laboratory will be found at\nthe end of this report.\nSTATISTICS\n1967 Air Operations Cost Summary by Projects\n<\u00a3\nAccomplishment\n-.6\n\u00a7\u00a3&\nZ, O M\n3S\ncs\nSo\nso\n\u2022c.9\n0<U\nUS ~\no o\n\u25a0 Blocks\nA. 40-chain vertical cover\u2014\n1.

ENDOWMENT LANDS\nM. E. Ferguson, Project Manager\nAs there was no change in our general administration nor implementation of\nlegislation to set up the proposed development corporation, this annual report will\nbe confined to rather normal events relative to our maintenance and operation.\nThe Department of Highways completed the first section of South-west Marine\nDrive, which was started in 1966. In addition, they cleared the right-of-way for\nmost of 16th Avenue. Unfortunately, funds were apparently not available to proceed with 16th Avenue nor extend the Marine Drive portion, with the result we\nhave encountered rather difficult traffic problems and a sharp increase in motor-\nvehicle accidents. With the continued increase in attendance at the University, it is\nobvious our traffic problems will continue to grow until 16th Avenue is completed\nand South-west Marine Drive is constructed to connect to the parking areas on\ncampus.\nNew construction in the area was naturally limited as there are no vacant residential lots available. Two new fraternity houses were constructed, and one shopping centre of stores and offices started. The balance of building construction was,\nin the main, for swimming-pools and remodelling of older homes.\nFinal details were completed and an agreement signed to provide cablevision\nin the area. The coaxial cable servicing most of the area where the installation is\nto be underground has been installed, and it is now anticipated the overhead lines\nwill be installed early in 1968.\nSome difficulties were encountered in delivery of the 30-inch steel pipe for the\nnew water main to be located on 16th Avenue. The 12-inch main from Cleveland\nWay to the university campus was completed during the summer, and delivery of\nthe larger main is now anticipated for early 1968.\nThe new Fraser-Burrard Regional Hospital District was brought into being\nduring 1967, with the result the University Endowment Lands will contribute financially through general taxes to hospital costs in this regional district. The representative on the board for the University Endowment Lands is Mr. A. C. Kelly, who is\nalso Chairman of the University Endowment Lands' Ratepayers Committee.\nRegarding taxes in the area, the general tax mill rate was increased 0.25 (Va, )\nof a mill although the school tax rate increased almost 4 mills. Present indications\nare that 1968 will see the first major increase in general taxes in several years, but\nthis is only to be expected when one considers the fact the general mill rate in 1959\nwas 17.80 mills and the 1967 rate was only 18.01 mills.\nThe following tabulation shows comparative figures for the past 10 years regarding revenue, plus a summary of building permits.\nNumber and Value of Building Permits Issued for the\nCalendar Years 1965, 1966, and 1967\n1965\n1966\n1967\nNumber\nValue\nNumber\nValue\nNumber\nValue\n1\n2\n1\n9\n2\n5\n1\n$354,894.00\n63,000.00\n70,000.00\n1\n1\n11\n1\n2\ni\n5\n1\n1\n2\nli)\n1\n1\n5\n$150,000.00\n$66,087.00\n135,000.00\n69,700.00\n3,000.00\n5,000.00\n235,000 00\n40,800.00\n71,800 00\n150 00\n16,377 00\n42,000.00\n1,500.00\n3,350.00\n4,000.00\nGarages, etc\t\nSwimming-pools                               \t\n4,785.00\n5,000.00\n6,648.00\nTotals              \t\n21\n$580,479.00\n23\n$287,637.00\n20\n$479,975.00\n DD 92     DEPARTMENT OF LANDS,\nFORESTS\n>\nAND WATER RESOURCES\nno\\\\ooooesooooMr- ri\n\u00bb-6miH\"trtHo^o\nm\n\u202238\nrHin\\o\\-?odvo>nrHoiQ\nO\ntn\n\u00a9minmcsmt-r-'^-cn\nvo\neSS\nsor-icAosmTfoomooos\nOOsr-lr-^CATtOOOSt^m\nl>\nOv\nB.\nCO\n*_t.\nr-rH<tfr-ovfro\\rHvoov\nf*\nGarbage,\nPermits,\nand Misce\nlaneous\nRevenue\nOj rt OO Pt H p; MJ \u00ab r| \u00ab3\nOv\nn ^ h <*> fl fl OS m ^O H\n\\o\nr.\u00bbmnHtfHinr'rt\nN 00 tn m N 't N tn ts \"n\nO\n00\nCAr*mOr-40CACA *\u00a9 tn\nm\n\u00ab\u25a0               rl rlH (t) (t) rH tO\nin\n1                           !

One\nhundred and twenty-two purchasers completed payment and received title deeds,\nand one borrower paid up in full and received release of mortgage. Collections\nwere as follows:\u2014\nLoans\t\nLand sales\t\nMiscellaneous revenue\nTotal\n$1,192.07\n80,275.63\n40,787.38\n$122,255.08\nThe above figures include collections from the sale and rental of Doukhobor\nlands in the amount of $66,737.92.\nNegotiations were completed for the sale of certain lands, situated south of\nBrilliant, to Selkirk College for regional college purposes. Additional lands adjacent to the college-site were leased for use as playing-fields and for recreational use.\nRegistration of plans of subdivisions of areas in the vicinity of Krestova, which\nwere surveyed in 1966 in an endeavour to meet the demands of those Doukhobors\nwho were desirous of acquiring property at this location, enabled the Board to continue the sale of lands as recommended by Justice Arthur H. Lord, who was appointed as a sole Commissioner to investigate Doukhobor lands under the provisions\nof the Doukhobor Lands Allotment Inquiry Act. The majority of the lots in these\nsubdivisions have been sold.\n  PERSONNEL OFFICE\n  PERSONNEL OFFICE\nDD 99\nPERSONNEL OFFICE\nK. M.

In 1967 nine Deputy Land Inspectors and nine Land Inspectors took lectures and examinations at Parksville from\nMarch 5th to 17th (Appraisal II). Other members of the staff endeavouring to\nimprove themselves included Messrs. R. H. McAra, K. M. Bridge, B.C.L.S., and\nP. J. Brennan, B.C.L.S. These employees were awarded Diplomas in Public Administration, having completed the three-year Executive Development Training\nPlan. Other personnel taking this course are Messrs. D. M. Thorn (third year),\nA. F. Smith (second year), V. Knapick, R. S. Oberg, and R. Paine (first year).\nMessrs. G. H. Fielding and W. Fry completed the correspondence course in Basic\nPublic Administration.\nThe year 1967 compared favourably with 1966 as far as promotions and reclassifications were concerned, with 19 promotions and 39 reclassifications. The\nmost significant of these was the promotion of Mr. R. Torrance to Deputy Minister\nof Lands. Others either reclassified or promoted included Mr. D. Borthwick, Superintendent of Lands, to Director of Lands; Mr. W. R. Redel, Assistant Superintendent of Lands, to Co-ordinator, Lands Service; Mr. F. M. Cunningham, Assistant\nChief Land Inspector, to Assistant Director of Lands; Mr. A. F. Smith, Administrative Officer 3, Land Administration, to Assistant Chief Land Inspector; and\nMr. G. H. Wilson, Land Inspector 4, to Administrative Officer 3, Land Administration. In the Surveys and Mapping Branch, Messrs. L. D. Hall, D. K. Reed,\nC. H. Salmon, and L. G. Smith received reclassifications to their present positions.\nThis year saw the retirement of three long-service employees. These were\nMr. E. W. Bassett, Deputy Minister (41 years); Mr. E. P. Creech, Technician 2,\nAir Surveys Division (46 years); and Miss C. Stephenson, Senior Clerk, Land\nSettlement Board (42 years).\nIn March, 1967, Mr. J. S. D. Smith, Land Inspector, Nelson, died at the age\nof 42. His untimely death followed 15 years' service with the Land Inspection\nDivision.\n    MAIL AND FILE ROOM\nDD 103\nMAIL AND FILE ROOM\nDavid S. Preston\nLetters received in the Department during 1967 amounted to 247,791, compared to 237,688 in 1966, an increase of 4.25 per cent.\nThe drop shown in the attached table of new files created does not necessarily\nmean there were less files set up for correspondence, because many file requests can\nbe handled by reinstating number designations of microfilmed files.\nAdditional shelving has been constructed in the Topaz Avenue storage vault,\nand segregation of the less-active material in the main filing vault for transmission\nto the Topaz vault is now under way. It is anticipated that the new shelving in the\nTopaz vault will provide filing space for two or three years. Ultimately, possibly\nwithin five to seven years, there will require to be a second microfilming of completed and inactive files.\nLetters Inward\nBranch\n1966\n1967\n10-year Average,\n1958-67\n58,813\n125,563\n31,186\n22,126\n57,879\n132,428\n32,362\n25,122\n48,386\nForests\t\n141,927\n27,547\n20,473\nTntals\n237,688\n247,791\n238,332\nLetters Outward (Recorded) *\nBranch\n1966\n1967\n10-year Average,\n1958-67\n9,943\n2,150\n3,916\n12,025\n1,916\n4,500\n13,707\nForests\nWater Resources  ~\t\n1,941\n2,965\nTotals\n16,009\n18,441\n18,613\n1 Interoffice, agency, general inquiries, requests for maps, etc., not recorded.\nMiscellaneous Reports\nDesignation\n1966\n1967\n10-year Average,\n1958-67\nForest-fire reports..\nLogging-inspection reports\t\nLand-classification reports\t\nStumpage-adjustment notices-\nTotals\t\n1,967\n11,048\n6,192\n2,935\n22,142\n3,216\n8,761\n5,920\n3,455\n21,352\n4,662\n13,502\n4,489\n3,538\n26,191\n DD 104   DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nNew Files Created\nDesignation\n1966\n1967\n10-year Average,\n1958-67\n\"O\" files\n6,983\n1,550\n1,472\n5,865\n1,449\n1,148\n6,108\n1,400\n2,345\nTntsi.5\n10.005           1              8.462\n9,853\nFilm reference, 1,779.\nPrinted by A.
