Surveyor of Detroit
First Observation to Make.
The surveyor who shall be nominated for Detroit is requested to observe that the lands which have been conceded to the Post of Detroit have not all been squared in the same point of the compass.
For instance: Those who are established upon the north territory must be squared north-north or east and southeast, nevertheless there is a very perceptible difference.
The lands which are west of the fort are squared north-north or east and. south-southeast. Those which are east of the fort going along Lake St. Clair are a little more away from north. Why?
Since they have commenced squaring the lands which are on the side of the River Rouge before paying attention to the disposition of the lands along the little lake.
