From 1846 to 1850, the chief por- tion of the County of Grey was surveyed. Following the surveys pertaining to the leading roads, came the surveys of the adjoining town- ships. During this period, Egretnont was surveyed by Mr. Kerr. Mr. Dennis completed his survey of Ben- tinck and Glenelg in 1859, and probably Mr. Kerr in Egrernont, and Mr. Gibson in Normanby, finished itheir’s the same year. The munici- ‘pal records do not reach back further than 1850. In that year the Assess- ‘ment Roll showed thirty names; nearly all of them on the ranges' parallel to the Garafraxa Roadâ€"the" first part of the township surveyed: For three or four years after« but' few settlers came in. But in 1854” ’55, a very large accession of new settlers took place in the various townships, and Egremont was‘favour- ed among the rest. “Its population in 1861 was 2,934, standing sixth among the townships of Grey. It has, of course, increased considerably Since. Egremont is well settled, and, on the whole, a very excellent. township. Looking at this township from its western edgeâ€"along the Garafraxa Roadâ€"the northern half appears pretty hillv, which is really the case generally through the north- ern part. The central part of the township is rather flat. though of excellent soil. A chain of small lakes is found, empting by several small streams into some of the num- erous branches of the Saugeen. Connected with this miniature lake system is the broad streak of lowlying ground crossing the Garal'raxa Roail, four or five miles N. of Mount Forest, and known to all the old travellers on the road as the " Forty- mile Swamp,” being that distance from Owen Sound. The south part of the township is a fine undulating country, with an excellent soil, not too heavy. The soil is variable. at times sandy, occasionally gravelly, often a friable loam, and sometimes, though not often, a heavy clay. [IKE THE MILLENIUM S. S. No. 11.

The lst, 2nd and 3rd, are parallel to the Garafraxa Road; the 4th to 22nd. inclusive, lie from east to west; the 4th being on the southern line of the township; and the 2:2nd on its northern limit. In the eight townships forming the southern two tiers in Grey, the con- cessions run east and west, and are numbered from the south. In the northern half of the County the con- cessions lie north and south, and are numbered generally from the east. ; As in Egremont all are set down as .H Householders” who have not yet obtained their patents from Govern- ment we have omitted the distinction made in the Rolls between “Free- holder” and “ Householder.” EGREMONT P.

In 1864, the total number of as- sessed residents on the roll, was 686; which would represent a total popu lation of about 3,500, “hich may be assumed as the present population. The number of acres on the Assess- ment Rollm“ Residents " and “ Non- residents,” is 73,296. The value of Real Estate in the township, is set down. (under the curious system prevailing in the County, of assessing at one-fourth the market value). at $226,364. Say one million of dollars. The return of personal preperty ($6,200). is so utterly worthless, that it does not even furnish us with data for an estimate. Census Reports. â€"â€"-Occupiers of land in 1861, 5328.
