Mr. Sutton,

87

In reference to your verbal request for a report

on the work of Messrs. Plascott and Corner who were attached

to me for a time.

Mr. Plascott carried out a survey along Queen's Read; his instrument work appeared to be quite good and his work closed satisfactorily with one of my traversos total error of about one in twenty three thousand,

His calculating appeared to be rather slow but no

doubt he had been on rather different work for some time

previous, He might prove satisfactory, but it appeared

to me that he was rather slow with his instrument work and

calculations and at present he is not used to office routine

&c. Possibly additional practice would correct all that

however.

Mr. Corner's traverse of Garden Road I checked

myself and found the instrument work good but the computing

and calculations rather weak.

One error of six or seven inches lay in reducing

the slope distance to the horizontal.

Mr. Corner appeared to run his party quite well,

but the excessive care taken would hinder his progress

materially. I would not be prepared to put Mr. Comer in charge as I do not consider his work sufficiently dependable

(Bd.) C. H. Douglas.
