Excerpt from Report of the Commission Appointed to Delimit the Boundary Between the Provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, Vol. 1: From 1913 to 1916 Your Commissioners, J.N. Wallace, D.L.S. representing the Dominion Government until the 20th September, 1915, R. W. Cautley, D. and A.L.S. representing the Government of the Province of Alberta and, after the 20th September, 1915, both the Dominion and Alberta Governments, and A. O. Wheeler, B.C.L.S., representing the Government of the Province of British Columbia, have the honour to make the following report on the work of the Commission. The whole report, of which this volume is Part I, is designed to consist of three parts. The first part covers the operations of the Commission from the International Boundary to the Kicking Horse Pass, the second from the Kicking Horse Pass to the Yellowhead Pass and the third from the Yellowhead Pass to where the Boundary follows the 120th Meridian of west Longitude. The first part contains two introductory chapters, of which Chapter I describes the Boundary as defined by law and the authority under which the Commission was appointed, and Chapter II contains the instructions and descriptions of the methods of survey, system of control and types of monuments used. The general operations of the Commission are described in succeeding chapters. Accompanying the report is an atlas of map sheets containing Nos. 1 to 16A, which deal particularly with Part I of the report. A general description of the map sheets will be found following Chapter VI of this part of the report. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
