referring to a c orreruni cation from the Act ing Under
//g
67
Secretary of State for the Dominion, dated I3th August
1895, enclosing an Extract from a Report of the Committee of the Honourable the Privy Council approved
by His Excellency on 30th July 1895, covering a Report
from the Honourable the Minister of the Interior bearing
date IIth July 1895, on the subject of an application
from the Esquimalt and Nanalmo Railway Company for a
conveyance of 86,346 acres of land (the location of which
is more part ieu 1 arly indicated by a map which acnompanys
the application) under Section 5 of 47 Vic: Chap: 14
Provincial Statutes end paragraph (b) of the Agreement
confirmed by Sect ion I of the said Act.
The Minister reports that 86,346 acres correctly represents the quantity of land which had been alienated by the Province within the limits of the grant
mentioned in Section 3 of the Act cited and that the
Dominion Government are entitled to a grant or conveyance
of that quantity of land, but that they are not entitled
to select the block extending to the Northward of the
50th parallel of latitude and in the manner indicated
by the map above referred to for the following reasons:Ist.
The block of land asked for by the Railway
Comp any does not ext end back from the Co ast the cull
width of the Railway Belt as contemplated by the Act
but covers a greater extent of coast frontage than is
consistent with the word "contiguous" in paragraph (b)
of the agreement before referred to.
4
2nd.
Subsequent to the passage of the Act 4o vie:
Chap: 14 (I2th May 1883) the late Honourable William
Smithe, Premier, and the late Honourable Robert Dunsnuir
M. P. P. in conference on the subject of the construction
of the proposed Railway, and on the administration of
the lands comprised within the limits of the Railway
Belt caused an esti mate of the area of the alienated
lands referred to in paragraph (b) of the agreement
embodied in said Act, to be made and its position North
of and contiguous to the half way line between the mouth
of Courtenay River and Seymour Narrows to be defined
approximately upon the large map of Vancouver Island
which hangs on the wall of the Lands and Works Office.
This hale way line was found to be considerably to the
South of the 50th parallel, it was then arranged and
agreed upon verbally by Mr Smithe and Mr Dunsfauir that
in order to avoid delay and the retarding of settlement
the 50th parallel should be taken as a line to the Northward of which the Government should have the right to
dispose of lands on behalf of the Province, and taka the
true position of the boundary of the Railway Belt to
the South of that parallel to be determined at a future
date. In furtherence of that understanding His Honour
the Lieutenant Governor in Council directed that the
Notice of 1st July 1873 reserving a strip of land 20
miles in width along the Eastern coast of Vancouvers
Island for Railway purposesbe rescinded, and further
di rected the establishment of another reservation of land
in aid of the construction of the Island Railway. Notice
of this later reservation was published in the British
Columbia Gazette and dated I2th June 1883, and a copy is
annexed to the Minute. By reference to this notice it
f
will be seen that the Northern boundary of this reserved
belt is defined as "a straight line drawn from Crown
Mountain towards Seymour Narrows to the 50th parallel of
latitude; thence due East along said parallel of latitude
to a point on the coast opposite Cape Mudge". Subsequently an Engineer was employed to define and mark on
the ground the position of the 50th parallel, and all
lands North of it which come within the scope of this
Minute hive been disposed of and alienated by the
Province, and are not available for Railway purposes.
That the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway Company
acquiesced in this disposition of these lands is evident
from the fact that they never filed any protest against
sales being reads to persons who published notices of
their desire to purchase or lease as required by the
Land Laws at that time.
The Minister recommends that a grant be made
to the Dominion Government of 86,346 acres of land to
the Northward of and adjacent to the half way line
before referred to and extending back from the coast to
the Western boundary of the Rai 'way Reservation and as
more particularly indicated upon the map accompanying
this Minute and th ereon coloured green, and t hat a copy
of this Minute, if approved, be transmitted to the
4kFrier Secretary of State.

On a report, dated 11th July, 1895, from the Minister of the Interior, stating that by

Dominion Government for the purls's(' of constructing, and to aid in the construction, of a
railway between Esquitnalt and Nananno, a tract of land therein described. Sections 4 and 5
of the Act referred to are as follows:—

portion thereof lying to the northward of a line running east and west half way between the
mouth of the Conaway River (Comoa District) and Seymour Narrows.

"5. Provided, always, that the Government of Canada shall he entitled out of such
excepted tracts to lands equal in extent to these alienated up to the date of this Act by Crown
grant, pre-emption, or otherwise, within the Baits of the grant mentioned in section 3 of this
Act."
Paragraph (6) of the preamble to the Act in question sets forth that the lands to which
the Government of Canada shall be entitled under section 5 above quoted shall 1st to the
northward of and contiguous to the tract mentioned in section 3.
The Minister observes that by the Act 47 Victoria, chapter 6, the Parliament of Canada
made provision fur the construction of the railway between Esquimalt and Sanaismo by a
Company (hereinafter referred to as "the Company "), and for the grant to such Company of
"all the laud situated en Vancouver Island which has been granted t4) Ifer Majesty by the
Legislature of British Columbia by the Act last afnresaid, in aid of the construction of the said
line of railway, in so far as such land shall Is• vested in I ler Majesty and held by bier for the
purposes of the said railway, or to aid in the construction of the same."
On the completion of the railway a pment was issued to the Company by the Government
of Canada for the land on Vancouver Island which farmed the subject of the Provincial Act
of 1883 That patent apecitically included "the full lattiefit told advantage of the rights and
privileges granted to us IT section 5" of the Act in quest ion.
The Minister submits herewith a copy of a letter from the Secretary of the Esquimalt and
Railway Company, setting forth that the Company tied, upon enquiry, that 86,346
acres of land within the limits of the tract conveyed to Cantata 14•I aft wesaid In ul, prior to the date
of such conveyance, been alienated by Crown grant, pre-emption, of otherwise. They represent
that they have, therefore, selected and caused to lie surveyed a like area of land within the
tract set apart for that purpose, and they request that application be muleIT the Government
of Catuula to the Government of British Columbia for a conveyance of this area, as shown upon
the plan herewith, ill order that it may be transferee' to them.
The Minister further represents that the Mini,ter of Jostler, to whom the matter has
been referred, states that the evident intention 4f the ttgreement between the two I lovernments
was that the lands to Inc granted to the Government of Canada pursuant to section 5 of the
Provincial Act, in lieu of lands which had been alienated, were to ho used like the rest of the
grant in aid of the constructil et of the railway, and that in his epinion the provisions relating
to the land subsidy in the agnsunent with the contractors, as well as the authority to make
the land grant to the Company given IT the I therein 4r in Council by section 3 of the Dominion
Act, must be taken to extend as well to these lands as to those actually granted by the
Provincial Act itself.
The Minister of Justice advises, therefore, that it is the duty of the Government of
Canada to apply to the Government of British Columbia for a transfer or grant of lands in
substitution for those so alienated as aforesaid, and to convey such lands to the Company when
they are transferred.
The Minister recommends that application he made to the Lieutenant-Governor of British
Columbia, and that when the lands which are the subject of that application have been handed
over to the Government of Canada they Is• conveyed to the Fequimalt and Nanaimo Railway
Company, in the name manner as t hose which have already passed to the Company under
patent from the Government of Camel:).
The Committee advise that a certified copy of this Minute, if approved, le forwarded to
the Lieutenant•Oovernor of British Columbia.
