W. Bassett, Deputy Minister of Lands\nThe buoyancy of the Provincial economy continues to have a beneficial effect\non the level of activity in the British Columbia Lands Service. The tables and figures contained in this Annual Report give clear evidence of the increase in effort\nwhich was necessary to keep pace with Provincial development in 1963.\nRevenues collected by the Accounting Division in 1963 totalled over $2,000,-\n000. Annual receipts from land leases, rentals, and fees have more than tripled in\nthe 10 years since 1953, while returns from land sales increased 32.5 per cent during the same period. Revenues from maps and aerial photographs have expanded\n2Vi times in the past decade.\nThe Lands Branch processed 7,011 applications for land in 1963, the highest\nfor any year to date. Leasehold applications have risen substantially in recent years,\nprimarily as the result of the policy of granting only leasehold alienation of Crown\nland fronting on bodies of water and permitting, on the basis of two applications,\nagricultural leases of up to 1,280 acres extent in the Peace River region. The 2,719\napplications to lease received in 1963 represented a 21-per-cent increase over 1962.\nThough there were 5 per cent more applications to purchase than in 1962, the number of land sales has tended to stabilize in the last decade. Illustrative of this levelling off of sales, it is noted that in 1954, 1,043 parcels of Crown land were sold,\nwhile in 1962 and 1963 the figures were 1,106 and 934 respectively.\nTwo measures were taken to encourage more effective use of Crown land suitable for agriculture. Approximately 400,000 acres formerly held under reserve\nnorth and east of the Beatton River were opened for settlement. Also, the flat-rate\nsystem of rental for grazing land was examined, and, as a result, lease rental rates\nwere amended to make the rate commensurate with the grazing capacity of the land.\nIndustrial and transportation developments are notably increasing the number\nand complexity of Crown-land alienations in Northern British Columbia. Outstanding among these are construction of the Peace River (Portage Mountain) hydroelectric complex, a rail-line to Fort St. James, a new pulp-mill at Prince George and\nothers proposed at Kitimat, Houston, and the Parsnip River, a mining boom in the\nEndako-Francois Lake belt, major reconstruction of the Northern Trans-Provincial\nHighway, and inauguration of an automobile-ferry service from Prince Rupert to\nports in the Panhandle of Alaska.\nThe policy of offering desirable parcels of Crown land for sale or lease by auction or tender was continued in 1963. A total of 529 lots was so offered.\nThe Land Inspection Division recorded 4,235 inspections through headquarters in 14 centres. Twenty-eight per cent was related to Crown-land purchases, 46\nper cent to land and foreshore leases, and 26 per cent to such purposes as land-use\npermits, reserves, pre-emptions, subdivision planning, and inspections required under\nvarious sections of the Land Act.\nMany of the duties of a Land Inspector demand a high degree of competence\nin evaluation and planning, and to this end seven Inspectors (including the Chief\nand Assistant Chief) have achieved accreditation by the Appraisal Institute of Canada. Ten others are in the process of completing the requirements for accreditation.\nUnder the direction of the Surveyor-General and Director of Surveys and\nMapping, the Legal Surveys, Topographic, Geographic, and Air Divisions continue\nto supply the basic topographic, cultural, and cadastral framework so necessary for\norderly Provincial growth and development.\n DD 10 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nDuring 1963 the Legal Surveys Division issued 921 sets of instructions to surveyors and received 582 sets of field-notes covering the survey of 893 lots. The 210\nDepartmental reference maps showing the day-to-day condition of land status in\nthe Province were maintained, and 16 of them were renewed to replace those which\nhad deteriorated through constant use and handling. Land Registry Offices at Victoria, Kamloops, Nelson, and Prince Rupert submitted 1,558 plans for checking by\nthe Division with the electronic-computer procedure.\nField work accomplished by the Legal Surveys Division included restoration\nof 350 old lot corners, erection of 205 new monuments, and integration to established survey control along a new electrical transmission-line from Seton Lake to\nPrince George. A total of 66 rural home-sites was laid out in subdivisions at Lantz-\nville, Sproat Lake, Brackendale, Gambier Island, Spences Bridge, Apex Mountain,\nand Fort St. John, while 139 lake-front lots were surveyed at Gun Lake, Charlotte\nLake, Norman Lake, Kimberley, Moyie Lake, Riondel, and Lac le Jeune. Park-\nsites, public reserves, Forest Service access roads, survey of the Parliament Buildings precinct, and 55.9 miles of highway right-of-way were also included in a busy\nsurvey programme.\nField crews from the Topographic Division completed ground control for 26\nNational Topographic map-sheets in the Chilcotin and Takla Lake-Bear Lake areas.\nWorking from the motor-vessel \" B.C. Surveyor,\" another crew photo-identified 282\ntriangulation stations between Price Island and Gardner Canal. Further refinement\nto the 1962 triangulation net was done in the Lower Fraser Valley, chiefly in Surrey\nand Langley Municipalities. The purpose of this last-mentioned survey programme\nis to enable cadastral surveys to be integrated with the North American Datum\n(1927). This is facilitated by increasing the density of control monumentation.\nSteel scaffolding frames were used very effectively to raise the line of sight through\nlevel treed areas and a giraffe-type lift was employed to locate suitable tower-sites.\nOther field work included commencement of a map revision on Southern Vancouver\nIsland.\nThe Topographic Division also worked on 18 National Topographic sheets and\non 15 plans ranging in scale from 40 to 1,000 feet to 1 inch. Cadastral detail was\ndraughted on 37 Federal sheets at 1:50,000 scale, while 23 Provincial topographic\nmanuscripts at 2-inches-to-l-mile scale were also completed.\nThe Geographic Division prepared and reproduced seven entirely new maps\nand completely revised another five sheets. By the end of 1963, status-map coverage at 1:250,000 scale was nearly complete for coastal British Columbia. Status\nmaps at l-inch-to-2-miles scale were also progressing satisfactorily across the Southern Interior.\nIn co-operation with the Canadian Permanent Committee on Geographical\nNames, work began on revision of the Gazetteer of British Columbia. Since 1953\napproximately 4,600 new place-names have been added to Geographic Division's\nfiles, and these will be included in the revised edition of the Gazetteer.\nEarly in 1963 map prices were raised commensurate with the new rates being\ncharged by Federal mapping agencies.\nThe Air Division of the Surveys and Mapping Branch prepared 16,000 square\nmiles of l-inch-to-20-chains interim maps, of which 2,800 squares miles were\ndraughted for general distribution. As required by the Forest Service inventory\nprogramme, revision began on 3,000 square miles of l-inch-to-40-chains maps.\nThe last Anson aircraft was retired from aerial photographic service in June\nand was replaced by a converted Beechcraft D18 (Expediter). The Department\nnow operates two D18 photographic aircraft. In spite of very unsettled weather\n INTRODUCTION DD 11\nduring the flying season, 23,450 prints were obtained, covering 23,000 square miles\nand 6,395 lineal miles.\nThe continuing value of maintaining an instrument service centre was demonstrated by the ability of its personnel to design and construct new shutter blades for\nthe O.S.C. aerial cameras. These were unobtainable on the commercial market.\nOne major administrative change occurred in the Service during the year.\nResponsibility for the Land Settlement Board was returned from the Department of\nAgriculture to the Lands Service in June. The Board had been administered by\nthe first-mentioned Department since April, 1956. In 1963 the Land Settlement\nBoard issued title deeds to 59 properties and recorded full repayment of eight mortgages. Collections totalled approximately $44,000.\nThe University Endowment Lands issued building permits valued at $171,150\nand recorded revenues of $144,516. In co-operation with the Greater Vancouver\nWater District, new arrangements were made for water supply and storage in the\nEndowment Lands.\nIn respect to personnel it is notable that Mr. S. C. Hawkins, of the Lands\nBranch, retired after an enviable record of more than 50 years in the public employ.\nIn recognition of his meritorious service, the Honourable the Minister of Lands,\nForests, and Water Resources presented Mr. Hawkins with a gold watch and scroll.\nI regret to report the death in service of three valued employees\u00E2\u0080\u0094Mr. G. T.\nForan, University Endowment Lands Fire Chief, after 17 years of service; Mr. C. C.\nGreen, of the Legal Surveys Division, after 19 years; and Mr. D. H. Stuart, of the\nLands Branch, who had been with the Department for 24 years.\nThe following pages of this Annual Report contain detailed descriptions of the\nwork of each administrative unit in the Lands Service during 1963 and further information in tabular form.\n ACCOUNTING DIVISION\n ACCOUNTING DIVISION\nDD 15\nACCOUNTING DIVISION\nM. B. Maclean, B.Com., Departmental Comptroller\nAgain in 1963 as in 1962 there was increased activity in the leasing of Crown\nlands. The number of lease accounts has increased from 5,452 at January 1, 1963,\nto 6,202 at December 31, 1963, a 14-per-cent increase. The greater interest in\nleasing has been partially offset by a reduction in outright purchases. Purchase\naccounts decreased from 1,874 at January 1, 1963, to 1,604 at December 31, 1963.\nEffective January 1, 1962, a rental charge for air photos was introduced, as\nwell as a nominal counter charge for examination of air photos at the library.\nNeither of these charges has materially affected interest in air photos by the public.\nBecause the Federal Government announced that effective January 1, 1963,\nthe price of all National Topographic Series maps would be substantially increased,\nand because a large number of the maps sold by this Department are purchased\nfrom the Federal Government, it was necessary to revise Provincial Government\nprices. The new prices were implemented February 8, 1963, and have reflected a\nsubstantial increase in revenue.\nTable 1.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Summary of Lands Service Revenue Collections for the\nYear Ended December 31,1963\nLand leases, rentals, fees, etc. $1,149,650.45\nLand sales 787,184.11\nSale of maps and air photos 98,007.24\nTotal $2,034,841.80\nTable 2.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Comparison of Revenue Collections for 10-year\nPeriod 1954-63, Inclusive\n1954\n1955\n1956\n1957\n1958\n1959\n1960\n1961\n1962\n1963\nTotal\n$1,251,767.91\n1,398,313.16\n1,437,130.44\n1,302,065.35\n1,340,045.76\n1,323,877.29\n1,714,220.41\n1,765,207.54\n1,847,457.83\n2,043,841.80\n$15,423,927.49\nTen-year average, $1,542,392.75.\n DD 16 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nTable 3.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Classification of Revenue Collections for the Year Ended\nDecember 31,1963\nLand sales\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nCountry lands $652,943.59\nTown lots 134,031.67\nSurface rights, mineral claims 96.35\nIndian reserve cut-off lands 112.50\n $787,184.11\nLand leases, rentals, fees, etc.\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nForeshore leases\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nBooming and log storage $316,911.29\nCommercial (marinas, etc.) 264,516.59\nOyster 9,839.12\nMiscellaneous (foreshore protection, etc.) 1,731.26\n $592,998.26\nLand leases\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nGrazing and (or) agriculture $76,228.87\nQuarrying (limestone, sand and\ngravel) 37,555.73\nCamp-site (lodge, fishing) 6,749.71\nHome-site 1,518.24\nMiscellaneous (residential, etc.) 106,215.92\n 228,268.47\nLand-use permits 3,153.90\nLicences of occupation 4,369.00\nRoyalty collections 100,534.35\nEasement collections\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nAnnual rentals $3,854.91\nOutright considerations 106,112.33\n 109,967.24\nFees\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nCrown grant $10,250.00\nAssignment 2,220.00\nMiscellaneous (lease, search, etc.) 6,602.00\n 19,072.00\nSundry collections (occupational rental, survey\ncharges, etc.) 91,287.14\n 1,149,650.45\nSale of maps and air photos\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nLegal Division $30,283.67\nGeographic Division 34,598.72\nAir Division 33,124.85\n 98,007.24\nGross revenue for year $2,034,841.80\n ACCOUNTING DIVISION\nDD 17\nTable 4.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Comparison of Land Leases, Rentals, Fees, etc., Revenue for\n10-year Period 1954-63, Inclusive\n1954\n1955\n1956\n1957\n1958\n1959\n1960\n1961\n1962\n1963\nTotal\nTen-year average, $700,507.94.\n$330,397.09\n425,595.79\n576,331.17\n472,415.55\n605,229.73\n668,367.70\n842,413.17\n1,001,071.13\n933,607.66\n1,149,650.45\n$7,005,079.44\nTable 5,\n1954 |\n1955 |\n1956 I\n1957 l\n1958 I\n1959 I\n1960 l\n1961 i\n1962 I\n1963 |\n-Comparison of Land Sales for 10-year Period 1954\u00E2\u0080\u009463, Inclusive\nmnnHB $488,303.49\nwmmmmmmm^mamm 605,469.42\nmmmmmmmmmmmamm 573,976.49\nmmmmmmammmm^mm 522,825.65\nwmmmmmmmmmmmmmam 677,036.15\nwmmmmBmmmmmmmmm 589,975.24\nmmmammmmmmmmmmmmm 806,723.54\nwmmmmammmmmmmmmmmmmm 703,705.71\nwmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 836,270.32\nwmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 787,184.11\nTotal\n$6,591,470.12\nTen-year average, $659,147.01.\n LANDS BRANCH\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 Superintendent of Lands, head of the Lands Branch. His authority governs the following matters:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\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 ca\n LANDS BRANCH\nDD 23\nLANDS BRANCH\nD. Borthwick, B.S.A., B.Ed., A.A.C.I., Superintendent of Lands\nThe expanding industrial development of the Province has attracted new interest from prospective settlers in the rest of Canada and in the United States, and, as\na result, activities in the Lands Branch reached an all-time high in 1963. Applications received increased from 6,345 in 1962 to 7,011 in 1963, or an increase of\n10.4 per cent. Land Act collections increased from $1,769,877 to $1,936,834 or\n9.4 per cent. Incoming Lands Branch mail increased from 30,351 pieces in 1962\nto 32,133 pieces in 1963. The acreage of land leased from the Crown increased\nfrom 186,806 acres in 1962 to 341,770 acres in 1963.\nThe Peace River District has again proven to be the most active agricultural\nsettlement area in the Province. A large tract of land lying north and east of the\nBeatton River and comprising approximately 400,000 acres which had formerly\nbeen held under reserve was opened for settlement. The policy instituted last year\nwhereby prospective settlers could lease a maximum of 1,280 acres of predominantly\narable land for agricultural and (or) ranch headquarters purposes has met with the\ngeneral approval of most settlers. These leases will be reviewed in three years time\nto ensure that the lessee is developing the land. It is hoped this policy will stimulate\nbona fide land settlement and eliminate the practice of leasing large tracts of land\nwithout following through with a concrete plan of development.\nDuring the past year the Lands Branch has continued its policy of laying out\nCrown subdivisions in the unorganized areas of the Province where public interest\nin such lands for summer-home site purposes has become apparent. As in the past,\nthe subdivisions have been laid out by legal survey and the necessary access roads\nconstructed prior to offering the lots for lease by public competition. Subdivisions\nof this nature were established at Norman Lake, Riondel, Gun Lake, and Lake Windermere. Other subdivisions are now in the planning stage.\nIn the early part of 1963 Departmental officials undertook a review of the unit\nrentals levied on grazing lands throughout the Province. It was noted that most of\nthe grazing land held under lease tenure fell in the third-class land category, on which\na flat per acre rental charge was levied, even though the grazing potential of the land\nranged from poor to excellent. In order to fix an annual charge commensurate with\nthe grazing potential of the land, the rentals were put on a sliding scale and related\nto carrying capacity.\nThe establishment of a pulp-mill at Prince George dictated the need for an\naccurate cruise of the standing pulpwood on Crown lands from Prince George south\nto Soda Creek. In order that the Forest Service could have an opportunity to undertake this survey without having to deal with a constantly changing land inventory,\nit became necessary to restrict the disposition of Crown lands in this region. It is\nanticipated that the cruise will be completed and the results analysed by the summer\nof 1964, at which time the policy with respect to land alienations in this area will\nbe reviewed.\nDuring the past year the Department has continued its policy of revising and\nrewriting the Land Series bulletins that have been published to acquaint prospective\nsettlers with pertinent features of various districts in British Columbia. The Fort\nFraser-Fort George bulletin was rewritten in order to keep abreast of this rapidly\ndeveloping area. In addition, the Peace River and Vancouver Island bulletins were\nrevised and brought up to date.\n DD 24 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nA brief summary of the activities of the various sections of the Administration\nDivision of the Lands Branch is set out hereunder:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nLease Section.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The work load of this Section has increased sharply over\nthe past year. Lease applications rose from 2,246 in 1962 to 2,719\nin 1963, or an increase of 21 per cent. It is anticipated that this\ntrend will continue in view of the Department's agricultural policy of\nencouraging alienation by lease rather than purchase until the bona\nfides of the applicant have been demonstrated through actual development of the land.\nPurchase Section.\u00E2\u0080\u0094There was also an increase in the number of purchase\napplications, although the increase was only 5 per cent. This increase would appear to be commensurate with the normal expansion\nof the Province.\nCrown Grants Section.\u00E2\u0080\u0094A decrease of about 3.6 per cent in the number\nof Crown grants issued in the past year appears to be a direct reflection on the policy of encouraging lease tenure in the initial stages of\ndevelopment of Crown lands. The number of Crown grants issued\nlast year was 1,042, as compared to 1,081 in 1962.\nPre-emption and Reserve Section.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The number of applications for preemptions and reserves dropped from 709 in 1962 to 594 in 1963.\nHowever, the number of inquiries dealt with by this Section rose from\n2,411 in 1962 to 2,571 in 1963.\nStatus Section.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The number of statuses completed by this Section decreased from 18,671 in 1962 to 17,710 in 1963. However, upon\nreviewing the status work undertaken it was noted that many of the\nstatuses prepared involved extensive areas.\nEasement Section.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The number of easements granted in 1963 increased\nby approximately 12.5 per cent. It is anticipated that during the\ncoming year the activity of this Section will show a marked increase\nas there is a backlog of one particular type of easement awaiting approval when the actual form on which they are to issue has been\nresolved with the companies and agencies concerned.\nGeneral Activity.\u00E2\u0080\u0094During 1963 a total of 31 acreage parcels was offered\nfor sale by tender, of which 18 were sold, realizing the sum of\n$21,031. Sixteen parcels of land suitable for agricultural purposes\nwere offered for lease by tender.\nNineteen public auction sales of Crown land were held during\nthe year. A total of 230 parcels was offered, of which 88 were sold\nat the time of auction, realizing $84,965. Eleven public auctions of\nleases were held, involving 233 waterfront properties and 19 agricultural parcels. At time of auction 132 parcels were leased.\nThe following tables indicate in detail the work carried out by the various sections of the Lands Branch.\nTable 1.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Country Land Sales,

RESOURCES\nLAND INSPECTION DIVISION\nL. D. Fraser, B.Sc.A., P.Ag., A.A.C.I., Chief Land Inspector\nThe year 1963 was one of great activity in the Inspection Division, and the\ntrend for increasing examination work continued. At the end of the year, 1,117\ninspections were outstanding and are carried through to the new year. This carryover is a result of a record 4,781 examination requests received by this Division.\nWith this were 571 requests carried over from 1962. This Division's field staff\nexamined 4,235 requests, which was slightly more than last year, but represents a\nprobable maximum work load for the existing staff. Coupled with the increase in\napplications is an increase in the size and complexity of the land to be examined.\nFor example, it has been ascertained in the Pouce Coupe district that the average\nlease application encompassed 200 acres in 1958 and increased to 400 acres in 1962.\nIn the Prince George district the size of the average application increased from 90\nacres in 1959 to 300 acres in 1962.\nThis Division again examined properties and submitted appraisal reports for\nmany other Government departments and agencies. The total number was somewhat less than last year, involving only 36 inspections. However, the hours of work\nrequired for each examination were far above the average devoted to most inspections. This is due to the complexity of the appraisals concerned and the fact that\nup to one or two weeks might be required to complete one report. Detailed appraisals were made for the Pacific Great Eastern Railway Company, Capital City\nPlanning Board, Department of Recreation and Conservation, Attorney-General's\nDepartment, Department of Health and Welfare, Southern Okanagan Lands Project,\nLand Settlement Board, and Veterans' Land Act.\nA noticeable increase in activity in the Smithers district is due in part to a large\ninflux of American citizens, occasioned by the opening of the Prince Rupert-Alaska\nferry run. In addition, many applications have been submitted for grazing leases\nby established ranchers in a desire to consolidate their holdings in the face of outside competition. It is also apparent that many speculative applications for land\nare being received in anticipation of the possible establishment of a pulp-mill at\nHouston.\nA similar increase in activity in the Prince George district is due, in general, to\nthe continually expanding economy of this part of the Province. Specifically, however, the promise of a railway to connect to Fort St. James has undoubtedly been\nresponsible for increasing the interest in land in that vicinity. The Francois Lake\nand Endako areas are experiencing a mining boom, with the resultant effect of demands for land.\nAn increase in the work load in the Kamloops district, amounting to 32 per\ncent over last year, is largely attributable to an increase in grazing and home-site\npurchases. In addition, policy changes affecting grazing lease rentals have resulted\nin the necessity for examining a large volume of leases as they come up for review.\nBoth Land Inspectors in this district assisted in other areas in an effort to combat\nthe increasing backlog, but by so doing a backlog of inspections was allowed to\naccumulate in the Kamloops district.\nThe anticipated increase in demand for land in the Nelson district materialized\nto the extent of increasing the work load by 8 per cent over last year. There has\nbeen a great improvement in the main highways in this region during the past two\nyears. The opening of the Golden-Revelstoke section of the Trans-Canada Highway, the completion of the Christina Lake-Kinnaird Provincial Highway, the com-\n LANDS BRANCH\nDD 35\npletion of the Trail-Salmo Highway, and the improvement to the Nelson-Nakusp\nHighway have all been of great importance to the economy of this district.\nThe opening of the Golden-Revelstoke Highway has also been responsible for\nan increased activity in the Kelowna area. This activity has been evenly distributed\nthroughout the district, but foreshore and lake-front examinations continue to be\nthe most time-consuming type of inspection.\nA new co-operative cattle market at Cranbrook is assisting this industry in the\nEast Kootenay. Creston is becoming increasingly important as a supply source for\ngrain and winter feed for the cattle industry. At present nearly all Crown range in\nthe Kootenays is stocked to capacity, requiring careful scrutiny of all applications\nfor land.\nAs mentioned last year, there is still a very definite trend toward the acquisition of both large and small ranches in the Williams Lake and Clinton areas, and\nthe lumber industry in the district is moving toward a higher utilization of wood\nproducts by the installation of chipping-mills. At present one company is shipping\nchips via the Pacific Great Eastern Railway to the Coast, and other similar installations are in the planning stage.\nIn the Peace River area most inspections require the examination of lands for\nagricultural development. A large proportion of these applications are received\nfrom local residents who desire to expand their existing holdings. However, many\nnew settlers, principally from Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the United States, are\nbecoming established here.\nThere is a noticeable increase in interest to lease or purchase summer-home\nsites in the Peace River area. To meet some of this anticipated demand, consideration is being given to a Crown subdivision of home-site lots along the south shore\nof Moberly Lake.\nIn the Courtenay district the trend is toward increased development of the north\nend of Vancouver Island. The promise of improved and new roads has provided\nthe impetus for this activity. The number of applications for oyster leases has\nincreased in this district due to the large volume of mature \" wild \" oysters to be\nfound along our coast and the necessity of placing these oysters on a registered\nlease before selling them.\nThe work load in the Vancouver area has remained relatively unchanged from\nlast year. The proposed Squamish-Pemberton Highway is still not completed, but\nwill undoubtedly have the effect of increasing interest in this area when the road is\ncompleted. Little change is anticipated throughout the remainder of the Vancouver\ndistrict, and the concentration of work centred on home-site and foreshore applications.\nFifty per cent of applications in the Quesnel area were received from local\nranchers and farmers desiring to increase their holdings. Approximately 25 per\ncent of all applications were from settlers coming into this area from other parts of\nBritish Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California. Only 15 per cent of the\napplications were from local residents acquiring farm land, and the remaining 10 per\ncent were made up of applications for summer-cabin sites, land-use permits, rental\nreviews, and reserves. It is anticipated that this trend will continue.\nSTAFF\nDuring the past year several changes were made in the location and employment of field staff. Mr. D. Havard, of Smithers, resigned, effective May 15, 1963,\nand was replaced by Mr. H. Gavin as Land Inspector 2, effective May 13, 1963.\nMr. Gavin transferred to this Division from the British Columbia Forest Service,\n DD 36 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nwhere he had been employed as Forester 1. Mr. D. I. Snider, Land Inspector 2,\ntransferred from Prince George to Kamloops, effective March 1, 1963, to replace\nMr. G. Wilson, who had transferred to Vancouver the preceding November, 1962.\nMr. Snider was replaced in Prince George by Mr. G. A. Rhoades, Land Inspector 2,\nwho transferred from Clinton, effective March 7, 1963. The vacancy left in the\nClinton office was subsequentiy filled by the employment of Mr. M. F. Robson,\neffective May 6, 1963.\nThis Division now has 18 Land Inspectors stationed in various districts. The\nAssistant Chief Land Inspector is responsible for the field work in the Victoria\ndistrict.\nTwo staff changes occurred in the Victoria office. Mr. R. Goodchild was promoted to Clerk 3 and transferred to the Lands General Office, effective August 15,\n1963. He was replaced by Mr. J. Dick, effective October 16, 1963. Mrs. E. Leask\nleft this Division in August of this year, to be replaced by Miss J. Knudson, effective\nAugust 12, 1963.\nTRAINING\nFour Land Inspectors, together with the Chief Land Inspector and Assistant\nChief Land Inspector, are now accredited appraisers with the Appraisal Institute\nof Canada.\nOne Land Inspector has completed all requirements but has not yet received\nhis accreditation. Ten Land Inspectors are in various stages of working toward the\ncompletion of requirements. Three Land Inspectors have had no training in appraisal matters as yet, but it is hoped that these three can be started on the Appraisal\nI Course next year.\nOne Land Inspector has successfully completed the Executive Administration\nCourse sponsored by the Civil Service Commission. Two are now in their second\nyear, and the Assistant Chief Land Inspector is now completing the third and last\nyear.\nSTATISTICS\nTable 1 represents a comparison, on a year-to-year basis, of the volume of field\nwork completed by the Land Inspection Division for the years 1959 to 1963, inclusive.

In more than 100 years which have passed since loseph\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 Ihe 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:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n/. Administration.\u00E2\u0080\u0094General co-ordination of the four divisions of the Branch, being\nLegal Surveys, Geographic, Topographic, and Air; delineation and maintenance of\nboundaries under the Provincial Boundary Commissioner\u00E2\u0080\u0094namely, (a) Alberta-British\nColumbia Boundary and (b) British Columbia-Yukon-Northwest Territories Boundary;\ninterdepartmental and intergovernmental liaison, such as the Fraser River Board.\n//.

S. Andrews, M.B.E., B.Sc.F., P.Eng., B.C.R.F., B.C.L.S., F.R.G.S.,\nDirector, Surveyor-General, and Boundaries Commissioner\nThis report for the Surveys and Mapping Branch repeats the usual form of\ndetailed narrative and statistical submissions for each of the four divisions in following pages, from which the Deputy Minister has selected synoptic highlights for his\nover-all review of the Lands Service. This arrangement leaves me free to deal here\nwith selected topics of special import in Branch activities, and the impact thereof on\nthe well-being of British Columbia.\nINTEGRATION OF SURVEYS\nA year ago the subject of survey integration was discussed at some length.\nThe advantages of co-ordinating all surveys to an accurate well-monumented control\nnetwork were mentioned\u00E2\u0080\u0094namely, the detection and remedy of old conflicting\nsurvey evidence, the reliable perpetuation of the true positions of surveyed boundaries, and the gradual elimination of costly re-establishment operations where original survey markers have been lost or destroyed. In addition to remarks about the\noperational aspects of setting up the control monuments for survey integration, the\nneed of statutory authority for it was indicated.\nDuring the current year a field programme of control establishment in the\nLower Fraser Valley begun in 1962 was continued with good results, emphasis\nbeing placed, for the time being, on the areas of Surrey and New Westminster, with\na view to early initiation of survey integration in these areas. The lack, due to short\nsupply, of new tellurometer (MRA 3) equipment, which facilitates measurements\nof shorter distances (500 to 5,000 feet), prevented the full breakdown of control\ninto the ultimate density required. Anticipating the early availability of this new\nequipment, it is hoped to finalize the control work in the said areas next year. Meanwhile the municipal administration of Surrey, through its engineering department,\nhas shown commendable participation by constructing some 200 control monuments\nas a winter work programme. These monuments will be in readiness for precise\nco-ordination during the next field season with the MRA 3 tellurometer.\nAttention has also been given to the statutory aspects of survey integration.\nWith valuable suggestions from professional land surveyors, both in government service and outside, legal officers in the Attorney-General's Department, including the\nRegistrar of Titles, and with the support of the Honourable the Minister of this\nDepartment, a draft amendment to the Official Surveys Act is in near final shape,\nfor presentation in Bill form to the next session of the Legislature. Rumours of\nthese activities have penetrated interested circles in Eastern Canada and have engendered interest to the point that the writer has been invited to present a paper on\nthe subject of survey integration in British Columbia to a joint convention of Ontario\nland surveyors and the Canadian Institute of Surveying, in Ottawa during February,\n1964.\nELECTRONIC DATA-PROCESSING\nThe installation of the 1620 I.B.M. computer by the Provincial Government in\nplace of the former 650 has improved the scope and efficiency of computational\noperations of this Branch. Practically all our \" Surmap \" 650 programmes have\nbeen revamped for the 1620, with the advantages offered by it. A new programme\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH DD 43\nfor a more sophisticated adjustment of elevation data of our control net in Northeast British Columbia has been applied with good effect. A programme for application to hydraulic investigations by the Water Resources Service in the Okanagan\nValley has also been developed by our surveyor specialized in this field. Further\napplications for the computer are foreseen.\nA further expansion in the data-processing field was the installation of a Wild\nEK 5 co-ordinate printer with hook-up to a Friden flexowriter for automatic derivation of machine x, y, and z co-ordinates on the Wild A 7 autograph precision airphoto plotter. This automation greatly accelerates co-ordinate extraction from the\nplotter, and eliminates human fatigue and error in reading vernier scales. The\nequipment, activated by a push button when the floating mark is positioned on any\nrequired point in the stereo model, produces almost instantly both a tabular and a\npunch-tape record of point identity and its co-ordinates.\nBRITISH COLUMBIA-YUKON-NORTHWEST TERRITORIES\nBOUNDARY\nField survey operations to locate and mark the British Columbia-Yukon-\nNorthwest Territories Boundary along the 60th parallel of north latitude terminated\nin 1959, the westernmost boundary monument, No. 187, having been established\nthe previous year some AVz miles west of the Alsek River crossing. From Monument No. 187 west to its intersection with the International Boundary between\nCanada and Alaska near Mount Jette, the 60th parallel traverses such rugged and\nice-bound terrain that further efforts to locate and mark it were considered neither\npractical nor economic at this time (see frontispiece photo of this Annual Report).\nOffice work arising from the physical demarcation of this boundary has been\nsteadily in progress, but it comprises a voluminous and painstaking effort. An atlas\nof 36 map-sheets at a scale 1:63,360 covering the whole length of the boundary as\nsurveyed was completed and bound during the present year, but must await publication until the formal report of the Boundary Commission has also been completed,\nsubmitted to, accepted, and confirmed by the principals concerned, being the Federal\nand Provincial Governments. Finalization of the Commission's report is anticipated\nduring the coming year, the draft being practically complete now. Only final editing, selection of illustrations, and printing remain to be done. One difficulty in this\ntask has been the necessity for the Commissioners, due to other official preoccupations, to delegate, on an opportunist basis, much of the work to their staff members,\nwho, in their turn, are under pressures of other urgent work.\nTHE DEVILLE AIR-PHOTO PLOTTER\nThe production in this Branch of a new simple stereoplotter for air-photo\nmapping was reported a year ago, with reasons for naming it in honour of Dr.\nEdouard G. Deville, Surveyor-General of Dominion Lands (circa 1885-1924) and\ninstigator of the science of photogrammetry in Canada. This instrument has now\nhad a year's operational trial, with generally gratifying results, which reflect credit\non the staff members responsible for its final design and.construction. In addition\nto plotting the topography (drainage and contours) on several standard map-sheets,\nit has been valuable for revision and gap-filling operations on maps previously made\nin whole or in part with other equipment. Its capability of using normal non-\ndistortion paper prints, in place of expensive glass diapositives, has been a special\n DD 44 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nadvantage. Like most infants, the new plotter has exhibited a few unforeseen characteristics, many good and some requiring correction. One of these is that its optical\nnormalization and calibration are quite critical, and, if not rigorously maintained,\nmay cause errors, especially in elevation. On the other hand, if these adjustments,\nonce adequately made, can be reasonably well stabilized, the accuracy of the instrument is very good. As was anticipated, large tilts in the photographs combined with\nextreme elevation range in the stereo model make difficult the orientation of the\nphotos in the instrument. However, with modern flying procedures, excessive tilts\nin the phography are rare. In summary the Deville plotter has proven a worthwhile adjunct to our photogrammetric practices. A valuable store of experience\nwith it is being accumulated, which will be useful in refining design of minor modifications to the present model or for a second unit, or both. A paper on the Deville\nplotter, co-authored with Mr. A. D. Wight, B.C.L.S., of our staff, was presented by\nthe writer to the semi-annual meeting of the American Society of Photogrammetry\nat Wellesley Island, New York, in September, 1963.\nFRASER RIVER BOARD\nThere is considerable satisfaction in the debut of the final report of the Fraser\nRiver Board coincident, for practical purposes, with the end of the year. It marks\nthe end of more than eight years' service as a Board member for the writer, and\nparallel service as alternate member for Mr. A. H. Ralfs, B.C.L.S., D.L.S., Assistant\nDirector of this Branch. Whereas participation in the comprehensive analysis of\nthis great river's characteristics and potentialities, and the synthesis of a plan for\nits regulation to effect flood control with production of hydro-electric power, has\nbeen a unique privilege, it has nevertheless imposed a very real diversion of\nattention and energy from responsibilities intrinsic to the Surveys and Mapping\nBranch. Little of value can be had without cost. The price in this case has\nbeen unavoidable neglect of certain Branch matters, offset to some extent by the\nassumption of greater responsibility by the senior administrative staffs of the divisions. For example, preoccupation with Fraser River Board accounts very materially for the regrettable delay in finalizing the report of the British Columbia-Yukon-\nNorthwest Territories Boundary Commission.\nIn addition to provision of services as member and alternate, this Branch has\nperformed a substantial aggregate of special assignments in detail topographic mapping, including special air-photo cover, of the numerous reservoirs and dam-sites\nrequired for the Board's studies. The precise determination of a critical elevation\non the Parsnip-McGregor divide at Arctic Lake offered a major feature in the\nBoard's planning for the diversion of the McGregor River waters into the Peace\nRiver drainage basin. Here again these mapping activities have been done at the\nexpense of progress on the still gigantic task of completing the standard topographic\nmapping and up-to-date air-photo cover of the Province.\nSpeaking for Mr. Ralfs and myself, it has been a stimulating and gratifying\nprivilege to serve on the Fraser River Board, to work with our opposite numbers of\nthe Provincial Water Resources Service, the Federal members of the Water Resources Branch, and the Department of Fisheries, as well as with the members of\nthe Board staff, in the study of one of British Columbia's most important and fascinating rivers, so vital to the welfare of this Province. It is also with no small\nsatisfaction that we may now contemplate a period of closer attention to the more\nspecific survey and mapping problems, nearer to the line of responsibility in this\nBranch.\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH DD 45\nPERSONNEL\nIn my previous reports the benefits of automation and new techniques in the\nperennial struggle to keep abreast of increasing demands for Branch services have\nbeen emphasized, especially as helping to offset prevailing limitations on staff. The\npoint has now been passed, however, where technological advantages can counteract\nthe need for human beings. This Branch has excellent equipment and jealously\nmaintains its espousal of the most modern methods but is now in dire need of a\nmodest increase in personnel to give full effect to equipment and techniques now at\nour disposal. The existing staff, reduced to a hard core of experienced, capable, and\nconscientious people, is faced with formidable backlogs of work which can only be\nreduced temporarily and partially by neglect of various internal but necessary maintenance operations, with the inexorable penalties. It must also bear the brunt of\ncomplaints, sometimes petulant, for delay from customers, including the public, who\ndo not understand the difficulties faced. It is not enough to drape a near-skeleton\nwith elegant fabrics of modern methods and appendages of spectacular technical\nequipment. Some good warm human flesh and blood is sorely needed.\nThe Deputy Minister has paid tribute to the memory of Cyril G. Green, late\nmember of this Branch, whose death occurred November 24, 1963. \" Cy,\" as he\nwas affectionately known, began his service as Junior Clerk in the File Vault in\nOctober, 1944, transferring to the Legal Surveys Division of this Branch in November, 1946. His performance was of such high calibre that for health reasons he was\ntransferred, by special arrangement, to the Government Agent's office in Kamloops\nfrom May, 1956, to March, 1958, after which we were pleased to have him return\nto the Legal Surveys Division, where he remained until his untimely demise in his\n40th year. In spite of his delicate health, he was a most diligent and conscientious\nworker. His bright, kindly, and obliging personality, combined with his artistic\ntalents, endeared him to his colleagues in work and to a wide circle of friends in the\nGovernment service. \" Cy \" Green's memory serves to enhance the mute bonds of\ncomradeship among us who survive him.\nIn concluding my report I wish to express my appreciation of the outstanding\nindustry, skill, and loyalty of all members of my staff, of the understanding support\nof the Honourable Minister of this Department and his deputy, of the helpful cooperation of other Provincial and Federal agencies, of the land-surveying profession,\nof the many industries and private citizens who find need for our services, and who\nsympathize with our difficulties in trying to maintain top service at all times.\n DD 46 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 the field-notes and plans of adjoining or adjacent\nsurveys. After the completion of the survey, the returns are forwarded to this office\nfor checking and plotting. Included in the above returns are all right-of-way surveys, including those for highways, railways, and transmission-lines. During the\nyear 921 sets of the above instructions were issued.\nIn 1963, 582 sets of field-notes covering the survey of 893 lots were received\nin this office and duly indexed, checked, plotted, and official plans prepared therefrom. This is an increase of 127 and 272 respectively over 1962. Of the above-\nmentioned surveys, 881 were made under the Land Act and 12 under the Mineral\nAct. At the present time there are approximately 97,920 sets of field-notes on\nrecord in our vaults.\nThere were 579 plans received from land surveyors covering surveys made\nunder the Land Registry Act. These were duly indexed and checked, and certified\ncopies deposited in the respective Land Registry Offices.\nButtes caused by erosion along banks of St. Mary River\nty of Fort Steele.\nIn order that a graphic record may be kept of alienations of both surveyed and\nunsurveyed Crown lands together with reserves, a set of reference maps, 210 in\nnumber, covering the whole of the Province must be maintained. These show all\ncadastral surveys which are on file in the Department, and are kept up to date by\nadding new information as it accrues from day to day. Prints of them are available\nto the public (see Indexes 1 to 7 in the envelope attached to the back cover of this\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH DD 47\nAnnual Report). It is unfortunate that through pressure of other work it has been\nimpossible to carry out the necessary renewing and redrawing of the reference maps,\nwhich become worn through constant use and handling. Whereas the Division\nshould be renewing a minimum of 25 of these maps each year, only 16 could be\ndone in 1963, and these only by a makeshift mechanical process.\nAll applications to purchase or lease Crown lands or foreshore which are received by the Lands Branch and all applications to purchase Crown timber received\nby the Forest Service are channelled through this Division for clearance. The\norderly processing of these applications requires that an exhaustive status be made\nfrom the reference maps, official plans, and Land Registry Office plans. From the\nreference maps, together with other information and facilities maintained by this\nDivision, it is possible to give an up-to-the-minute status on any parcel of Crown\nland in the Province.\nIt was necessary during the year, for status and compilation purposes, to obtain\n5,633 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 disease-free areas and pound districts), the Department of Municipal Affairs (descriptions for the incorporation or\namendment of municipal areas), the Forest Service (descriptions of tree-farm\nlicences and working circles), and the Lands Branch (descriptions for gazetted\nreserves, etc.). During the year 158 of the above descriptions were prepared, and\nthis entailed 275 man-hours.\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\nprints and photostats, etc., required by the Surveys and Mapping Branch. The total\nnumber of prints made during the year was 222,057, in the preparation of which\n156,810 yards or 89.1 miles of paper and linen were used. The number of photostats, films, and autopositives made was 104,973.\nOf the 222,057 prints made, 79,404 were for the Surveys and Mapping Branch,\n53,841 for other branches of the Department of Lands, Forests, and Water Resources, 78,103 for other departments of Government, and 10,709 for the public.\nLikewise, of the 104,973 photostats, films, etc., made, 32,757 were for the Surveys\nand Mapping Branch, 51,012 for other branches of the Department, 14,555 for\nother departments of Government, and 6,649 for the public.\nThe multilith machine turned out 300,415 copies during the year, compared\nwith 163,436 during 1962.\nThe Xerox 914 copier has been a real boon; it has speeded up the service,\ngiven much more legible copies, and is much more economical to operate than the\nmachine previously used.\nCOMPOSITE MAP SECTION\nThis Section is responsible for the compilation and fair drawing of composite\nmaps, mostly at 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.\nDuring the year two sheets were completed covering the Village of Hope.\nThis Section was diverted from its usual work during the year and took over\nthe renewing and redrawing of some of the more dilapidated reference maps. They\n DD 48 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nwere responsible for the 16 reference maps which were renewed this year. It would\nseem that with the very large amount of work going through the main draughting-\nroom, it will be necessary that the Composite Map Section be again taken from its\nusual duties and assigned the responsibility of renewing more of our reference maps.\nThe tri-annual revision of the composite maps is presently under way.\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.

Ideally these areas should also be near established Provincial control\nstations so that all restored areas are integrated into the co-ordinate control network.\nAs the conduct of all surveys through Crown land is governed by regulation,\nthe opportunity arose on a large-scale transmission-line survey being carried out\nduring the past year by a private survey company to require some restoration of\nold survey corners and regular ties to Provincial control along the route. By the\nDepartment assisting with the extra costs involved and because of the excellent\nco-operation of those carrying out the work, a very creditable, integrated survey\nroute will result from Seton Lake through to Prince George. The centre line and all\nties to established control are being made with a precise electronic distance-measuring instrument, and although the survey is still incomplete, at the present time there\nhave been 350 old corners restored by permanent monuments and 205 additional\npermanent monuments set to mark the limits of the right-of-way, all of which can\nbe co-ordinated at any time by calculation from the plans.\nThe driveable pipe post mentioned in last year's report is being used extensively, but further modifications are needed before it is entirely satisfactory.\nSubdivision of Crown Land\nSubdivision of rural land providing home-sites with road access was carried\nout at Lantzville, Sproat Lake, Brackendale, Gambier Island, Spences Bridge, at\nApex Mountain north of Keremeos, and at Fort St. John, for a total of 66 lots.\nSurveys of waterfront property produced 139 lots located at Gun Lake, Charlotte\nLake, Norman Lake, Kimberley, Moyie Lake, Riondel, and Lac le Jeune. Acreage\nlots were created at Kamloops for a hospital addition, at Skookumchuck in the East\nKootenay for home-site leases, at Fort Steele in connection with the restoration of\nthat historical area, and at Cultus Lake for an existing fish hatchery.\n DD 50 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nPublic Reserves\nIn unorganized areas there is usually a steady demand for Crown land to be\nset aside for sanitary reserves. Survey of these areas was required at Tulameen,\nOsoyoos, Lower Nicola, Tappen, Chief Lake, and Savona. Recreational areas\nnot under the Parks Department were surveyed at Princeton, Lac le Jeune, and\nKimberley.\nPark-sites\nAt Sproat Lake in the Alberni district, another 50 acres were surveyed as an\naddition to the existing picnic and boat-launching site. A small 5-acre park at Seton\nLake was laid out and another existing park at Gardom Lake was resurveyed. The\nsurvey of a very interesting park area to cover old fossil beds on Driftwood Creek\nin the vicinity of Smithers was begun, but due to lateness of the season will be completed next year.\nForest Service Roads and Sites\nSites for lookouts and forestry buildings were surveyed at Cowichan Lake, at\nOrford Bay on Bute Inlet, and at Grand Forks. Where Forest Service access roads\nare through privately owned land, it is usual to survey these portions only. In this\nconnection a total of 7.8 miles was legally surveyed at Orford Bay, Enderby, and at\nCayoosh and Slok Creeks in the vicinity of Lillooet.\nRepostings and Restorations\nRestoration of old main lot and section corners in connection with highway\nsurveys was increased again this year to a total of 203 corners. The bulk of these\nwere in the Bulkley Valley, where a high percentage of old corners is completely\nunmarked. A number of areas were given attention in the general programme.\nBoundaries of six lots close to Victoria, dating to the earliest surveys in the district,\nwere remonumented. The work at Shirley was continued, where four more lots\nwere posted. Both these areas will continue to be expanded as the opportunity\narises. Four sections on Saltspring Island at St. Mary Lake were posted because,\nalthough the land had been sold, it had never been surveyed. One lot each at\nSharpe Lake, Alert Bay, and Grand Forks were among the smaller jobs. The main\nefforts in this programme were in the vicinity of Lumby, Buck Ridge, and McBride,\nwhere 111 corners were permanently monumented. The grand total of all Departmental restorations was 393 corners.\nA survey of the Parliament Buildings precinct area was carried out to determine the boundaries of Government-owned land within the area. This entailed fixing the alignment of 12 streets from a mass of cadastral survey evidence, and in the\nprocess 12 old monuments set pursuant to the City of Victoria Official Map Act of\n1880 were recovered. These, together with 13 additional permanent monuments\nset on this survey, were tied into the local Provincial survey control network. The\nco-ordinates of these 25 key monuments were tabulated on the face of the plan\nwhich was deposited in the Land Registry Office. This permanently fixes these\ncadastral corners with respect to all future surveys integrated into the common\ndatum.\nThe Department assisted in restorations on Hornby Island and in the Smithers\narea by bearing part of the costs of very involved surveys caused by old corners\nhaving been destroyed. There were also a number of minor cases of assistance in\nvarious parts of the country.\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH\nDD 51\nHighways\nIn the Bulkley Valley, on the Houston-Telkwa section of the Northern Trans-\nProvincial Highway there were 22.6 miles of highway surveyed. On the Trans-\nCanada Highway, the remaining 6 miles at Blaeberry were completed, which finishes the Rogers Pass route from Sicamous through to Golden. East of Golden\nanother remainder of 4.9 miles was surveyed through to Yoho Park boundary. On\nthe Kootenay-Columbia route 7.1 miles from Radium north and 12.2 miles from\nFort Steele to Wasa were completed. On the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway\na small section of 3.1 miles from Goatfell to Yahk was filled in.\nWork on the Kootenay-Columbia Highway and in the Bulkley Valley was tied\ninto the Provincial co-ordinate control system.\nThe total of 55.9 miles is less than last year due to the fact that no unsurveyed\nland was encountered and all the areas were ones requiring a great deal of searching\nfor old evidence.\nInspections\nThree requests for inspections of plans through the Land Registry Office involved surveys at Alberni, Haney, and Penticton. The presentation of an independent examination of all the evidence enables a solution to these troublesome matters\nto be found, and consequently this continues to be a valuable service. Two inspections were initiated by this Division\u00E2\u0080\u0094one of a right-of-way in the Peace River District and the other centred around some sections of a very old township in the vicinity\nof Salmo. In the latter case a very substantial error in the original survey was\nproved, enabling the question of alleged trespass on Crown timber to be settled.\n DD 52 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nTOPOGRAPHIC DIVISION\nA. G. Slocomb, B.C.L.S., Chief\nThe old saying that commences \" The best laid plans of mice and men, etc.,\"\ncould certainly be applied to this season's field operation. The original plan called\nfor a continuation north of the previous year's field work in the Takla Lake area as\nthe main effort, to be supported by the Department's Beaver aircraft and a four-\nmonth helicopter contract. Upon learning that the Federal Government decided\nto let a contract for high-altitude photography in the Chilcotin District, and that our\nrequirements would be given priority, our plan was changed to take advantage of\nthis opportunity. Work in the northern area was postponed so as to allow a programme of targetting positions prior to the anticipated Federal photography in Map-\nareas 93b, 93f, and the North Half of 93c. The targetting was commenced on the\n1st of June, using both the helicopter and the Beaver, and the personnel of two\nsurvey crews. Although over difficult terrain, all went well till the 13th of June,\nwhen we were informed that because of prior commitments the Federal programme\nof photography had been cancelled. At that time, targets had been set covering\n93b and the eastern edge of 93c. In order to salvage this work, the Air Division\nwas requested to extend an area that it was currently flying to include 93b. Photography commenced the following day, although a complication arose because the\noriginal high-altitude photography had been planned for east-west flight strips from\nan altitude of 30,000 feet, while Air Division photo cover was flown with north-\nsouth strips from an altitude of 20,000 feet. This change in photographic specifications required modifications to the targetted network by additional targets set to\nmeet requirements of a block adjustment for the new photo cover. We were able\nto complete the horizontal control for eight map-sheets and vertical control for three.\nIn an endeavour to make the best use of the helicopter contract, the remaining\nvertical control was left to a later date and the survey crew moved north to the\nTakla Lake area, where work commenced on the 15th of July, with the first camp\nat Babine Lake supplied from a base established at Tyee Lake, near Telkwa (see\nFig. 1). The second camp was built at Bear Lake, near the site of the old Hudson's\nBay Company fur-trading post at Fort Connelly. Control was completed for 18\nmap-sheets and, coupled with the eight from the Chilcotin operation (see Fig. 2),\ngave a season's total of 26 map-sheets covering approximately 8,700 square miles.\nPoor weather, particularly in September, hampered operations. A check on\nthe helicopter diary shows 58 of the 122 days available were unproductive, of which\n25 were in September, which was a very unstable flying-weather month. The total\nflying-time on the contract was 338V2 hours, just lSVi above the minimum.\nOn the Coast, the motor-vessel \" B.C. Surveyor \" sailed approximately 5,200\nmiles to allow the crew to photo-identify 282 triangulation stations, which will be\nused to control this area when renown by the Federal Government. Of these, 46\nwere new stations which were established by 162 miles of tellurometer traverse, the\nbalance being old Coast triangulation. Many of the old iron pins had rusted away,\nwhich made the search difficult and, on occasion, impossible.\nIn addition, a park-site at Bella Coola was surveyed for the Legal Surveys Division, and its own personnel manned the ship for two separate trips. A Land Inspector also made a 10-day trip in May from Campbell River to Bella Bella, Smith Inlet,\nand Alert Bay. The \" B.C. Surveyor \" performed to perfection during the whole\nsummer. The new manifold installed on its engine during the winter cured the overheating problem that had troubled us for several seasons.\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH\nDD 53\nIn the Lower Fraser Valley, a further breakdown of the 1962 triangulation,\nmainly in the Surrey and Langley Municipalities, was accomplished. This area is\nrelatively flat and tree covered, so that towers were erected to raise the line of sight.\nThey were built with standard steel scaffolding frames which were found to be ideal\n127\u00C2\u00B0\nGEODETIC TRIANGULATION {$>\nPROVINCIAL TRIANGULATION A\nTELLUROMETER STATIONS \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nFig. 1.\nfor the purpose. Twelve towers, ranging in height from 20 to 106 feet, were fabricated. The inside observing tower was 3 by 5 feet at the base, and the outside tower\nwas 5 by 7 feet. Although both were guyed every 20 feet, the observer who had to\ndo the instrument work at the top of the highest one likened it to flagpole sitting.\nIn conjunction with the scaffolding towers, a giraffe-type lift was used for reconnaissance and location of tower-sites. Both were on a rental basis, with the giraffe\nrequired for two days only, to locate all the sites. These were mainly on private\n DD 54 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nproperty and not readily available for future work, so that pairs of monuments were\nset in the centre of the adjacent public right-of-way to facilitate easy access for future\nsurveys. These monuments were set in concrete below road grade and capped with\na 4-inch circular metal service-box with a removable lid. Twenty-six pairs of these\nmonuments were set and tied in to the triangulation.\nGEODETIC TRIANGULATION \u00C2\u00AE\nPROVINCIAL TRIANGULATION A\nTELLUROMETER STATIONS \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nFig. 2.\nWe had planned on using the latest model tellurometer\u00E2\u0080\u0094the MRA3\u00E2\u0080\u0094which\nwill read the required shorter distances to the prescribed accuracy, but unfortunately\nit was not available till too late in the season. A private survey firm allowed us the\nuse of its pair of instruments for a day, which proved ideal for the purpose.\nA programme of map revision was commenced on Southern Vancouver Island\nearly in the year, whenever the weather was suitable and personnel available. The\ncrews photo-identified the existing triangulation and traverse stations, and also\nchecked the vertical control, adding to it wherever required. The planimetry of\nthese southern sheets was completed in the early 1930's without the aid of modern\nplotting-machines. Rather than try to improve the existing sheets, it was decided\nthat it would be quicker to replot them.\nThe Review and Edit Section handled six field projects, two of which were\ncontrol surveys completed while engaged on map checks in the vicinity.\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH\nDD 55\nEighteen National Topographic Series map-sheets, totalling approximately\n6,100 square miles, were completed in the Photogrammetric Section. In addition,\nthere were 15 large-scale projects ranging in scale from 40 to 1,000 feet to 1 inch.\nThese include one plot for road revision and one for reconnaissance purposes only,\nas well as large-scale detailed plans of various Government buildings.\nThe Draughting Section reports the completion of 23 standard topographic\nmanuscripts at the scale of 2 inches to 1 mile, 72 large-scale mapping plans at\nvarious scales, plus 7 large plans at 20, 40, 50, and 100 feet to 1 inch of the Legislative Precinct, the Kamloops Government Buildings, and the Brannan Lake School.\nIn addition, the plotting of the cadastral survey on 37 Federal Government 1:50,000\nmanuscripts was completed. Two mosaics were assembled and rephotographed to\nthe scale required by the Department involved for use in planning.\nThe Federal Government now has 78 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 as shown on the indexes following this report are available upon

R. Young, B.C.L.S., Chief, and Provincial Representative on\nCanadian Permanent Committee on Geographical Names\nDuring 1963 steady advances were made in the Provincial mapping programme.\nAs outlined in the 1961 Annual Report, full-colour reprinting of 10 map-sheets\nat 1:250,000 scale for Coastal British Columbia was nearing completion by the\nend of the year. New seven-colour status editions of Maps 92j (Pemberton), 93d\n(Bella Coola), 103b-c (Moresby Island), and 103f-g-j-k (Graham Island) were\nreleased, while second status editions of 103i-j (Terrace) and 103p (Nass River)\nhad reached the draughting stage by December (see Tables G and I). Compilation\nand draughting of three sheets at 1:250,000 scale to replace Pre-emptor's and Provincial Topographical Series sheets in the Interior of the Province was under way.\nThree more are contemplated in the coming year.\nThe very popular l-inch-to-2-miles National Topographic Series continued to\nreplace the former Degree Series. Field culture checks have now been completed\nfor the five remaining sheets in South-eastern British Columbia, and all but one of\nthem were being compiled or draughted at the end of the year. Three new 1-inch-\nto-2-miles maps\u00E2\u0080\u009482G/SE (Flathead), 82 G/SW (Elko), and 82 K/SE (Lardeau)\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094were published, thus raising the total Provincial output to date for this series\nto 26 sheets. Because of public demand, several of these status maps have been\nreprinted during the past few years, a situation which, though gratifying, has slowed\nthe production of new sheets. On the credit side, the reprintings have usually enabled the updating and revision of status and cultural detail.\nOne regional map-sheet at 1 -inch-to- 10-miles scale (South-western British\nColumbia) was revised and reprinted in three editions in 1963. The landforms\nedition of this map was partially revised and printed in the new \" sand \" colour.\nTo round out the Provincial mapping programme, one map of the Topographical Series at l-inch-to-4-miles scale, 5d (Revelstoke-Golden), and one of the Pre-\nemptor Series, 3c (Stuart Lake), were reprinted because stocks had been depleted\nbefore they could be replaced by new status sheets. A status overprint was done on\nMap 3e (Peace River) because of the rapid extension of Crown land alienation in\nthe Peace River region.\nThe Army Survey Establishment at Ottawa printed 10 Provincial Government\ntopographic manuscripts at 1:50,000 scale; another nine sheets were reprinted\nwithout revision (see Table H). An additional seven maps were compiled and\nprinted by the Army Survey Establishment, and major stocks of each of them were\nsent to Victoria. Stocks of two maps at 1:250,000 scale which had been prepared\nby the Army Survey Establishment were also received.\nThe Federal Department of Mines and Technical Surveys produced 52 full-\ncolour and 15 provisional (black and blue) National Topographic maps at 1:50,000\nscale and 10 at 1:250,000 scale.\nGood progress is being made on a manuscript for revision of the Gazetteer of\nBritish Columbia. Only a few copies of this publication remain in stock in Victoria,\nand, so far as is known, there are none in Ottawa. The task of adding some 4,600\nnew names is being done in co-operation with the Canadian Permanent Committee\non Geographical Names. There has been a steady demand for this useful volume,\nand since 1954, 2,400 Gazetteers have been distributed from Victoria alone.\nFifty-nine charts, manuscripts, and maps were checked for place-names in\n1963, and 375 new cards were added to the Gazetteer files (see Table C).\n DD 62 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nDuring the year 116,705 map-sheets were received into stock, compared with\n130,420 for the previous 12 month period.\nEffective January 1, 1963, the prices of all Federally produced maps were\ndoubled. Prices of comparable Provincial map series, which had been raised slightly in 1962, were increased proportionately. Though the total number of map-sheets\nsold and distributed decreased by 21,159 (21 per cent) from 1962, the value of the\nmaps issued rose by 38 per cent to $48,674 (see Table D).\nRevision and reprinting of Land Series bulletins continued apace. Bulletin\nNo. 11 (Acquisition of Crown Lands) was reprinted twice during the year, while\nBulletin No. 4 (Vancouver Island) and No. 10 (Peace River) were reprinted with\nminor revision. Following a field trip to the Prince George area, a major revision\nwas completed on Bulletin No. 7 (Fort Fraser-Fort George). Besides working on\nthe bulletins, the research officer assisted in various inquiries and reports.\nEighteen special projects, with a value of $1,729, were undertaken on behalf\nof other Government departments and the general public (see Table E). Among\nthese was publication of a second edition of the Air Facilities Chart of British\nColumbia. The Cartographic Section of the Geographic Division also began to\nprepare a special landforms sheet at l-inch-to-30-miles scale to accompany a forthcoming Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources bulletin.\nThe Trigonometric Control Section handled 341 requests relating to survey\ncontrol and examined 160 well-site plans surveyed under the Petroleum and Natural\nGas Act. The conversion of file cards from the Dominion Manual System of Rectangular Co-ordinates to the Polyconic Rectangular Co-ordinates system continued\nthroughout the year. Other work done by this Section is shown in Tables A and B.\nThe following tables provide a numerical account of the activities of the Geographic Division in 1963. In some cases, comparisons with the previous five-year\nperiod are given.

C. Kinnear, B.C.R.F., Chief\nMAPPING AND COMPILATION\nSome 16,000 square miles of l-inch-to-20-chains interim mapping was undertaken during the year with about 2,800 square miles of final sheets completed and\navailable for all users. The balance of 13,000 square miles is in varying work\nstages and will be available as principal-point lay-downs, in pencil form, as required\nby Forest Surveys Division.\nSince the l-inch-to-20-chains programme was started six years ago, only\n10,150 square miles of final interim maps have been completed and are available\nto other departments and the public from Surveys Branch. An additional area of\nsome 50,000 square miles of control and compilation is available, in pencil form, in\nour draughting offices (see Index Maps Nos. 15 to 18, which are contained in\nenvelope attached to back cover of this Annual Report).\nA revision area of some 3,000 square miles of l-inch-to-40-chains mapping\nhas also been undertaken for forest inventory requirements and will be completed\nduring 1964.\nThe special project for the Surveyor of Taxes, Department of Finance, in the\nE. & N. Land Grant area, as reported last year, progressed as planned. Two-thirds\nof the area has now been completed, and the balance will be photographed and\nmapped in 1964.\nThe scribing method of draughting is being studied to determine its application\nto use in this Division. If it is found acceptable and put into practice, it is hoped\nthat the production of final interim maps can be increased.\nFLYING OPERATIONS\nThe last of the two Anson aircraft (CF-EZI), which have done such noble\nwork on air photography for this Division, was retired from service in June, 1963.\nDuring the past 17 years these two Anson Mark V aircraft have flown a total of\n7,152 hours (over a million miles) on Departmental business with only one minor\naccident, and that occurred on the taxi strip at Patricia Bay, to mar a most impressive record of reliability. Credit at this time must be paid to the extremely capable\npilots and mechanics who have flown and maintained the aircraft during these\nmany years.\nModifications of the second Beech D18 (CF-BCD) were completed in early\nsummer, and the main bulk of the photography was accomplished with these two\naircraft. The first Beech D18 (CF-BCE), as reported in last year's Annual Report,\nwent into service in 1962. The change-over from Anson aircraft to Beech D18's\nhas provided this Division with excellent replacement equipment and made the\nworking conditions of the aircrew much more pleasant, but, as mentioned last year,\nthey have not appreciably increased the range, altitude, or pay load over the Anson\ncapabilities.\nAt the risk of becoming monotonous, this season's weather pattern was one\nof the poorest on record. The mid-season was characterized by a total absence of\nclear photographic conditions for 11 weeks in the southern half of the Province.\nThis in itself was a record. Even the usually reliable forecasting facilities were\noften misleading throughout most of the summer, resulting in a \" scrambly \" type of\noperation, in which the aircrew had to chase after good weather. This is both\nfrustrating and expensive.\n STEREOGRAMS\nStereograms may be viewed through a small magnifying pocket stereoscope\nto obtain three-dimensional effect.\n..\"'-::\niJiSz*.

BC 5059, Nos. 224 and 225 (portions only).\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH DD 67\nOf 73 special requests from various Provincial departments for photography,\n61 projects were flown satisfactorily, and the 19,000 square miles of forest inventory\ncover is second only to 1960's record accomplishment. This effort was achieved\nprimarily by the vigilance and enthusiasm maintained by all members of the aircrew\nin spite of the frustrating weather pattern. The particular projects are itemized in\ndetail and tabulated at the end of this report.\nSome air time was lost due to camera unserviceability, but most of the trouble\nwas caused by worn-out components in the O.S.C. cameras. As new units are being\ninstalled as replacements, we anticipate that a minimum amount of lost time will be\nencountered in the future.\nPROCESS LABORATORY\nThe production figure of 134,507 10- by 10-inch reprints is a slight increase\nover the figure of 1962. As might be expected, contact 10- by 10-inch reprints are\nincreasing in numbers over the older projection 10- by 10-inch reprints due to the\nfact that all new photography is being exposed on 9V4- by 9V2-inch film. While\ncontact printing is slower than projection printing, the total output of the Process\nLaboratory is a creditable figure.\nThe production of enlargements, up to 40 inches in size, has been considerably\nincreased this year. As air photos are being used more extensively for administra-\ntional purposes in many areas, the trend to an increase in requests for enlargements\nwill probably continue.\nWith air photos becoming such a useful tool to so many Governmental activities, the demand for larger-scale, better-quality prints is a natural sequence, and to\nthis end the Process Laboratory must be geared. As staff is a limited factor, it becomes necessary to install methods and equipment to ensure that the over-all output\nwill be maintained at a high standard. Considerable effort in time and money is\nbeing expended in the laboratory to meet these requirements, and more features of\nthe automated age will be required to keep this section up to date.\nDetails of production will be found at the end of this report.\nINSTRUMENT-SHOP\nOne of the original reasons for the establishment of an Instrument-shop was to\ndevelop and build specialized equipment for use in the Surveys and Mapping\nBranch. Again this year the Instrument-shop fufilled this duty by making shutter\nblades for the O.S.C. air cameras after it was discovered they were unobtainable on\nthe private market. Special shutter steel was purchased from Sweden, and an\ningenious method of punching a blade with a hydraulic punch was developed.\nThese shutter blades have been given considerable shop tests, and they appear to\noperate as well as the blades originally installed in the shutter at the time of\nmanufacture. Had the shop not been able to produce these shutter blades, a major\ndecision on replacement cameras would have been required.\nTwo new replacement epidiascopes were designed for the specific purpose of\ntransferring planimetric detail from air photos to the interim base maps. These\ninstruments, properly designed and constructed, enable the mapping technicians to\ndo their work more efficiently and with a considerable saving in time. It is expected\nthat both of these epidiascopes will be in operation early in the new year.\nSome minor modifications were added to the Deville plotter prior to the instrument being used in its intended role of topographic mapping.\nThe shop continues to provide specialized services and facilities for an ever-\nincreasing number of Government departments. Most of the technical maintenance\n DD 68 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nservices required by this Division for equipment in the Process Laboratory, Mapping\nSections, and Flying Operations is handled by this shop.\nAIR PHOTO LIBRARY\nA slight increase over 1962 figures in the number of reprints distributed through\nthe library was recorded. Provincial Government departments, primarily the Forest Service, were supplied with a greater number of reprints, and there was a decrease\nin the number of air photographs purchased by the Federal Government. The sale\nof reprints to the public remained about the same.\nThe total number of loans has increased this year by some 33,000 prints, due\nto the fact that previously considered mapping prints were made available for the\nloan service. The public borrowed an additional 3,000 prints over 1962, and an\nextra 30,000 were borrowed by Provincial Government departments.\nDetails of the reprint and loan traffic are tabulated at the end of this report.\nIndex maps for all previously flown special projects were revised during the\nyear, and this photography has now been separated from the normal forest inventory\nphotography. This is intended to make the selection of larger-scale special photography easier.\nStereograms of a few interesting features, seen on this year's photography, are\nshown on page 66 of this report.\n SURVEYS AND MAPPING BRANCH\nDD 69\nOrders for Standard Prints (9 by 9 Inches) from\nBritish Columbia Negatives, 1963\nReprints\nLo\nins\nRequisitions\nNumber\nRequisitions\nNumber\nPublic-\n689\n139\n37\n72\n10\n136\n27\n18\n54\n233\n26\n3,532\n6,434\n261\n1,277\n387\n2,091\n1,266\n1,385\n5,328\n5,732\n88\n191\n79\n11\n8\n3,152\n4,067\nSchools \t\nUniversity of British Columbia and University of\n64\n857\n38\n5\n2\n35\n142\n22\n645\n17\nOil and natural gas\t\n56\n902\n2,684\n124\nTotals \t\n1,441\n27,281\n533\n12,568\nFederal Government\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n12\n3\n26\n4\n5\n6\n6\n19\n16\n3,681\n39\n173\n94\n43\n171\n178\n36\n98\n1\n1\n1\n11\nDepartment of National Defence -\t\n46\n2\n1\n8\n5\n81\nMiscellaneous\t\n9\n122\nTotals \t\n97\n4,513\n21\n267\nProvincial Government\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n280\n50\n32\n1\n57\n149\n34\n14\n20\n7\n23\n4\n5\n14,204\n3,894\n490\n1\n1,424\n77,631\n2,267\n597\n1,340\n43\n567\n13\n242\n832\n30\n68\n2\n189\n391\n3\n2\n27\n16\n135\n5\n29,589\n217\n1,084\n9\n2,527\n20,076\n14\n15\n505\nBritish Columbia Hydro and Power Authority\t\n159\n2,270\n11\n8\n6\n10\n2\n371\n54\n61\nMiscellaneous \t\n4\nTotals -\n676\n102,713\n1,726\n56,966\n2,214\n134,507\n2,280\n69,801\nPublic Loans and Reprints\n1959\n1960\n1961\n1962\n1963\n13,981\n45,644\n11,840\n49,627\n13,399\n34,659\n9,960\n28,226\n12,568\nReprints \t\n27,281\nTotals \t\n59,625\n61,467\n48,058\n38,186\n39,849\n DD 70 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nProduction Record to 1963, Process Laboratory\n1946-60\n1961\n1962\n1963\nGrand\nTotal\nProcessing completed\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nAir camera films\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nO.S.C. and RC8 \t\n24\n2,709\n71\n20.5\n3\n57\n72\n103\n17\n1\n107\n23\n1\n2\n291\nF24 and Eagle III\t\n2,821\n73\nTest rolls \t\n22.5\nColour film - \t\n1.5\n400 ft.\n30\n1\n960 ft.\n71\n5\n75,344\n5.5\n70-mm. helicopter \t\n1,360\n3,733\n32\n3,866\nK20-F24 (Dominion Hydrographic, H.M.C.\n5\nPrinting completed\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nStandard prints, 5 by 5 inches enlarged to 10\n1,552,970\n46,017\n127,043\n30\n49,195\n1,804,552\n46,047\nKenora prints, 9 by 9 inches reduced to 5 by\n4,132\n85,312\n229\n1,286\n194\n6\n103\n366\n397\n2,373\n4,132\n8,066\n3,244\n21,189\n21,428\n372\n6,993\n22,777\n133\n1,345\n410\n56,682\n122\n952\n263\n172,837\n3,728\n24,772\n22,295\n378\n635\n70\n352\n2,627\n320\n204\n597\n1,923\n8,051\n640\nKelsh A7-A8 plates, miscellaneous copies (photos)\n2,681\n23,626\n4,027\n30,549\n1963 Air Operations Cost Summary by Projects\n1\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\no\n<\nO\n\u00C2\u00A3i\nrr,\no ft\n\"tl\nAccomplishment\nm\nm\nO\nO\nen\nC\n'>,\nE\no\nIS\nB,\nrt\n\u00C2\u00A351)\ns rt\nO to\nJS O\nrrt\no\nrt w\nas\nc\n_o\nrt\nO\nU\nO\nH\nA.

E. Ferguson, Project Manager\nDuring the year 1963 there was no indication of any major development or\nexpansion, with the result the operations were, in the main, of a routine maintenance type.\nThe increased enrolment at the University brought a further increase in vehicles, which added to the traffic problem and the parking problem. Through the cooperation of the police and an enforcement of regulations, these problems were well\ncontrolled. During the year, consideration was given to the need for a new access\nroad to the campus, and there will be further investigations at an early date to determine where such a road should be located to best serve the ultimate parking and\nroad plan of the campus.\nThe Erosion Committee did not have any meetings during the year pending\nthe submission of sub-committee reports and recommendations. There is little doubt\nthat any plan that may be adopted will be of the long-range type owing to cost and\nscope. In the meantime the erosion continues in several locations, which will, no\ndoubt, require some steps be taken to at least control these areas in the very near\nfuture.\nThe agreement with the City of Vancouver whereby special assistance was\nprovided in case of fire expired March 31, 1963. Following negotiations a new\nagreement was reached whereby reasonable protection can be provided until more\npermanent plans are made regarding future operations.\nWe were all shocked at the sudden passing of our Fire Chief, who suffered a\nheart attack. A replacement is expected early in 1964 as the competition closed on\nDecember 18, 1963, and applications are being considered at the time of writing\nthis report.\nAs mentioned briefly in the 1962 Annual Report, there was a growing need\nfor additional fraternity lots. Through the co-operation of the University a solution was found when property just east of the existing fraternities was deeded back\nto the Endowment Lands from the University. This provided sufficient area for\neight new fraternity lots. It is hoped to have these lots serviced and available to the\nfraternities during the early part of 1964. At present, water and sewer services have\nnow been laid and plans and specifications being prepared for the balance of the\nservices.\nProbably the item of most significance for the year was the question of water\nsupply. As a result of many meetings and surveys over a considerable period, several factors were decided. Of first importance was the establishment of a reservoir-\nsite, which is leased to the Greater Vancouver Water District. Plans are presently\nbeing prepared for the first of the pumping units, and it is planned to have these in\noperation for the summer of 1964. The next stage will be to commence the first of\nthe actual reservoirs, which will be concrete with concrete covers to allow for recreational use, such as tennis-courts, when completed.\nA joint water-supply and distribution line to serve the Endowment Lands and\nthe University is presently being considered, with the hope this will be constructed\nby the spring of 1964, and which will give a new 12-inch service along University\nBoulevard from Western Parkway to the Main Mall and replace the existing 4-inch\nline along Western Parkway from University Boulevard to Chancellor Boulevard.\nWhen completed this line should solve the low-pressure area as well as a means of\nlevelling off pressures in other sections of the present residential area.\n DD 76 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS, AND WATER RESOURCES\nNumber and Value of Building Permits Issued during\nthe Calendar Years 1961, 1962, and 1963\n1961\n1962\n1963\nNumber\nValue\nNumber\nValue\nNumber\nValue\n1\n1\n10\n1\n9\n$150,000.00\n1\n11\n1\n1\n14\n1\n6\n3\n$11,000.00\n48,400.00\n20,000.00\n44,450.00\n50,000.00\n$60,000.00\n39,125.00\n17,400.00\nGarages, etc - \t\nSwimming-pools -.- \t\n8,400.00\n13,000.00\n1,000.00\n7,325.00\n47,300.00\nTotals -\t\n23\n$285,850.00\n13\n$60,400.00\n25\n$171,150.00\n UNIVERSITY ENDOWMENT LANDS\nDD 77\nVi\nn\nS\nw\no\nUJ\nO\no\nH\nCO\n<\nw\nH\n<\nPh\na\nX\nH\na\ng\n2\np\nQ\nO\nw\n>\nw\no\nw\nW\np\nz\n>\nW\ntt.\no\n<\nS\np\non\nc\nc.\u00C2\u00BB>aooc\nfM\nvO\n^\u00E2\u0096\u00A0cno;*ococon'-;^'rH\n\nTto6rfTttnr6rpo6\6\nin*\n3\nc\nH\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2TtrnCAOsOOrDTtrtcATt\nc^ CD tn^Os cD^tr^in tn ci tn\nc^tnOsOssoTtcAOstnrf\nooOsOsOsCDOsTtTtcAirt\nr-\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0* *\"* 1-1 \u00C2\u00BBH \u00C2\u00BBH \u00C2\u00BBH\no_\n&9-\n4\nM'^'t^'CJCr''\"\"''^\"^*-'*\nCO\nI?\nCfl\n{^ONcnvqO^THCotNTHr-.\nfntS^fSfnTtr^rirorn\nCT\t^)OO(N0vnf^\u00C2\u00BB-iTf\nOs\nt\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nCfl -\n CA cAt~Os CAsocA sO cA\nq\nCSS\nTt Tt OS r\u00C2\u00A3 CO SO CA CA Tt j~^\noo'-|r-\ov\u00C2\u00A3jco(N(Nmo\n\u00C2\u00ABn\nCfl\nr-i\nrt\nu\nh3\n0\mtn|flh'fl0^riin\n\u00C2\u00A9 (\"* t-\u00C2\u00BB \u00E2\u0096\u00A0-\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 tn VO VD r-\" in o\"\noo\no\"\nt/>\n^5-\nt>cotDTt\o\OTttnoocA\nm\n*i\nC^m CA CA Tt CA CO Tt so CD m\n00\n3\n5\nj\nj\nt-i co t-iinodr\u00E2\u0080\u0094 so mart\nint~~CDCDcosorttnSos\nod\nvo\nI.\nCAtnCACAr^cDCArfsocA\nCN\nTj\"\"\nU\nCArtsOSOsOt^COOOOOTt\nOs\n(fl- Tt\nSO\n\u00C2\u00AB\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nb \u00C2\u00AB\nVD tn O lOOOOOO\nCSln^H \u00C2\u00AB-< *H T-I *H rH Tt\nn\nVO\n9\nso Tt i in cn\nm\"\nu\no Tt i m a\\nTt\nrH^t j *H\nC-\nca\nU\n\"rt\na\n\u00C2\u00AB\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nte-\nr-1 CO O O O\nm\n\"3\nO \"\"T O O O\n^\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0j\na\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 jg\n23S88\nm\nso v. tn cd cd\nC1^\nHinHH ri\n\u00C2\u00A3\ntn\nv>\nV*\nriffimNoonhVO\nCD\nn\nCA\n4)\n\OOr*ir4Tt\u00C2\u00ABn\DtN\nCO\n0)\noo \u00C2\u00A9 f* O Tt'--inC-i>\nfZJsCAOsC^O^CAOstnrtTt\n-\na\nu\nNvoosve r-\od-.vod\no\\nUi\nB\n6\nas\nEh\nu\n&\nW1\n\u00C2\u00A7\ntf)inTO\nOs9\^0\u00C2\u00BBvo\nt-\nrt\nnm^N^Mt^oam\n00\n*\u00C2\u00AB\n.&\nc^or^ovcNcdcNr^\u00C2\u00A9\"-^\n*n\"\nu\n(^mxi-imininMc.00\nVO\nO\n.9\nmtN-^tooool>fnT^fnm\no\\" rn\" c-\" r^* oo \u00C2\u00AB r'\" ts 6\" d\nrf\nPh\nWH *\u00C2\u00ABtHt*\nTt O\n^\n-3\nta\n^^\no\n0)\n^\nTt\nO)\nV\n5\n\u00C2\u00A3*\nM-\nO (_\n\u00C2\u00AB a\n\" i-i\no^;\n:\nTt\n*S0-t\n*rt\nr-^\nm\no^\n5\nb \"2\n1\n|\nc4\n\u00C2\u00BB\nm fa\nVO\n~3\nCO\n.9\na\"\ni\nOV\nPh\n1\n!\nj\ni\n1\na\n*rt\n><\nS\nTt tn\nvo f- oo a\ o ih r.\nm\na\ntr\nO\nin\na.\nO\n0\"\nS\n$\nv\u00C2\u00A3\n LAND SETTLEMENT BOARD\n LAND SETTLEMENT BOARD\nDD 81\nLAND SETTLEMENT BOARD\nClara Stephenson, Secretary\nThe Land Settlement Board was transferred from the Department of Agriculture to the Department of Lands, Forests, and Water Resources in June, 1963.\nDuring the year the sales made by the Board amounted to $68,212. Fifty-nine\npurchasers completed payment and received title deeds, and eight borrowers paid\nup in full and received release of mortgage. Collections were as follows:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nLoans.\nLand sales\t\nForeclosed properties and areas\u00E2\u0080\u0094rentals, etc.\nTotal.\n$8,085.22\n34,809.52\n1,041.75\n$43,936.49\nThe above figures include collections from the sale of Doukhobor lands in the\namount of $23,201.76.\nActivities of the Board were concentrated this year on the sale of Doukhobor\nlands in accordance with the recommendations of the report of His Honour Justice\nArthur E. Lord, and good progress was made in that regard.\n PERSONNEL OFFICE\n PERSONNEL OFFICE DD 85\nPERSONNEL OFFICE\nJ. H. Palmer, B.A., B.Com., Personnel Officer\nOrganizational changes within the Department in 1963 were minor. They\nincluded the establishment of a position as Junior Clerk in the Accounting Division\non a permanent basis rather than the previous casual appointment and the conversion of a Field Survey Assistant position in the Topographic Division to that of a\nDraughtsman.\nFrom a total Civil Service and non-Civil Service staff averaging 304 persons\n(excluding part-time and seasonal employees), the following separations occurred:\nResignations, 22; involuntary terminations, 1; retirements, 1; deaths, 3; transfers\nto other departments, 3.\nThe retirement mentioned was that of Mr. Stanley C. Hawkins, who left the\nposition of Principal Clerk in charge of the Crown Grant Section of the Lands\nBranch after more than 50 years of service. Mr. Hawkins joined the Government\nservice in May, 1913, two weeks before his 15th birthday. When he retired in June,\n1963, he had established an enviable record of service to the Province under 10\nPremiers. On leaving, Mr. Hawkins was presented with a gold watch and a scroll\nfor meritorious service by the Honourable Ray Williston, Minister of Lands, Forests,\nand Water Resources, on behalf of the Provincial Government. Mr. Hawkins has\nthe best wishes of all his former colleagues.\nThe Department was grieved by the deaths at very early ages of three employees during the year. Mr. G. T. Foran, Fire Chief, University Endowment\nLands, died, aged 47 years, after 17 years of service; Mr. G. C. Green, Darkroom\nAssistant, Legal Surveys Division, died, aged 39 years, after 19 years of service;\nand Mr. D. H. Stuart, Administrative Officer, Lands Branch, died, aged 41 years,\nafter 24 years with the Department. These employees are all sadly missed by their\nformer associates.\nDuring the year 12 promotions through Civil Service competitions were processed, and 17 reclassifications were implemented. Five transfers within the Department occurred, and 18 new employees were recruited for permanent positions.\nMr. J. S. Caldwell, Mapping Assistant 3, Air Division, was awarded a Diploma\nin Public Administration following completion of the three-year study course under\nthe Executive Development Training Programme. Mr. F. M. Cunningham, Assistant Chief Land Inspector, and Messrs. J. G. Callan and T. F. Moore, Draughtsmen\n4, Legal Surveys Division, completed the second year of this course, and Messrs.
