Whereas, in view of the rapidly increasing settlements north of the Crooked Lake Indian Reserve, it has been thought highly desirable to open up four roads, as hereinafter described, through the said Indian reserves, for the purpose of connecting the settlements aforesaid with the town of Broadview, on the Canadian Pacific Railway namely:— 1st. A road from Broadview, through O'Soup's Reserve, to a point on the Qu'Appelle River, at or near O'Soup's place. 2nd.

A road from a point on the Qu'Appelle River, at the eastern end of the reserve of Chief Ochapaweyas, running in a southerly direction, until it joins a proposed road, from Whitewood. And Whereas,, at informal meetings of the bands of Indians interested, it has been ascertained that the surrender of the land necessary for the construction of those portions of the said proposed roads on said reserves, cannot be obtained, except upon the following express terms and conditions; namely:— 1. That the Indians shall not, unless they consent, contribute in any manner to the cost of construction and maintenance^of these roads. 2. That the said roads, once opened, shall be kept in a good state of repair to the satisfaction of the Superintendent General, or his agent. 3.'That the Indians shall be given the privilege of performing adLIabor in connection with the construction and maintenance of such portions of said roads, as are within the limits of their reserves, being allowed a fair market valuation for their work. 4. That all lands to be surrendered for the purposes aforesaid, shall be held in trust by the Superintendent General of Indian Affairs, who shall have the right at any time, in his discretion, to close all or any of the said roads to the public. We, the undersigned, residents of Broadview aforesaid, and interested in the opening of the roads above mentioned, do hereby, for ourselves, and on behalf of other white settlers generally, agree to be held bound by the terms and conditions hereinbefore recited, in any surrender of lands which may be made by the Indians of the Crooked Lake Reserves, for the purposes aforesaid.
