homes in early halton by owen clark prospective homeowners of the present day are aware that certain rules and regulations must be ob served before any person can build and the requirements of one munici pality may differ from another as to the size of a lot its location and the type of house that may be con structed if the desired site nor ders a provincial highway the de partment of highways as well as the local planning board must be consulted but when all regula tions have been observed the new homeowner is in the clear except of course for that little matter of financing pioneer prospector back in the days of the pioneers conditions were very different and before we can understand the growth of a district we need to i j know utile about how that diatrct j s from a hat were given free land along with such implements ant seed as were available and were al so promised food and supplies for three years there were also im migrants direct from the british isles who once a settlement has been opened up were either given free land or wen permitted to pur chase land from the crown it was customary for a crown commissioner to have charge of thousands of acres of land for resale to newly arrived immigrants the terms in upper canda were 70 cents an acrcxash or 1 an acre on a time purchase plan before a purchaser could get a patent for his land the following settlers duties were quired of him 1 applicant must live on the said lot continuously for at least two years 2 ten acres of 1 land must be cleared and rendered came into being so it is with hal ton the pioneer was in a sense a prospector prospecting for a place i make a living a site where he ight farm and build a home how ever primitive that home might be some obtained the desired result one way some another some pitch ed their tents for awhile and then moved on there were those who bargained with the indians for a tract of land unaware that such transactions would not be recognlz ed as legal and there were bona fide settlers granted crown land contingent upon the fulfilment of certain duties required by the crown lands commission united empire loyalists as an ex pression of appreciation by the british government and by the hap hazard system of drawing lots there must be erected a habitable house at least 16x20 4 the sum of 4 shall be paid as patent fees to cover expenses 5 patent may be given only to the actual occupant of the land so purchased sometimes a settler would farm for years be fore applying for a deed to his pro perty squatters aughta however even before settlement was authorized there were immi grants who roamed the country seeking a location to their liking once satisfied they would clear a piece of land and build fc lag shanty when government survejors came along the settlers would claim squatters rights to the property to put an end to such unauthorized possession of land the following pro clamation was published in the halton journal august 3 1859 looking for a house we have them in all s zes and prices they are going fast so you must act promptly we have propelled a number of sales this season whether you wish to buy or sell we have the facilities

entertained after the first day of september 1859 signed by the commissioner p m van koughnet even bona fide immigrants did not always follow the same pattern for settlement some would explore the territory opened for settlement and then make a request to the de partment of crown lands other wise called the canada company for one particular tract of land others would apply to headquarters at york toronto and draw their lots sight unseen having been given the location of the property they would then set forth to find it in many cases their only imple ments an axe and a hoe their seed a few potatoes a small bag of wheat and perhaps some indian corn good or bad their luck was in the lap of the gods bay from settlers still others would purchase pro perty from a settler who had ad vcrtised his farm for sale this method did not always prove satis factory the story is told of a fam ily in esquesing by the name of carradice david carradicc with his wife nine children and all his worldly
