ERROR IN SURVEY SHOWS US CANADA BORDER SLIP
A joint survey led by G C Baldwin for the United States and A J Brabazoon for Canada finds a land strip 240 to 1000 feet wide wrongly credited to Canada by the Ogilvie survey nearly two decades ago. The modern survey aligns with the Ogilvie report in places but reveals long stretches where American territory was under Canadian control. The findings, accepted that summer by both sides, will be final. A 20 foot wide strip along the new boundary has been cleared by American interests.
