Streams, &c., to be diverted.
30. In all cases where it is intended to make,
vary, extend, or enlarge any cut, canal, reservoir,
aqueduct, or navigation, the plan shall describe
the brooks and streams to be diverted into such
cut, canal, reservoir, aqueduct, or navigation, or
into any variation, extension, or enlargement
thereof respectively for supplying the same with
water, or for any other purpose.
Distances on Railways.
31. In all cases where it is proposed to make,
vary, extend, or enlarge any railroad, the plan
shall exhibit thereon the distances in miles and
furlongs from one of the termini, and a memo-
randum of every curve whose radius is less than
one mile shall be noted on the plan, in furlongs
and chains, and where any tunnelling is intended,
such tunnelling shall be distinguished by dotted
lines on the plan.
Distances on Roads.
32. If it be intended to make, vary, extend, or
enlarge any road, the plan shall exhibit thereon
the distances, in miles and furlongs, from one of
the termini.
Diversion, &c., of Canals, Rivers, &c.
33. If it be intended to divert, widen, or narrow
any road, navigable river, canal, cut, navigation,
or railway, the course of such diversion and the
extent of such widening or narrowing shall be
marked on the plan.
VI.—BOOK OF REFERENCE.
Book of Reference.
34. The book of reference to every such plan
shall contain the names of the owners or reputed
owners, lessees, or reputed lessees, and occupiers
of all land to be taken for the proposed work or
within the limits of deviation (if any) shown on
the plan, and shall describe such land and show
the purposes for which the same is used at the
time of making such plan.
VII.—SECTIONS.
Scale and form of Sections.
35. The section shall be drawn on the same
horizontal scale as the plan, and to a vertical scale
of not less than one inch to one hundred feet, and
shall show the surface of the ground marked on
the plan along the line of the proposed work, the
intended level of the work, the height of every
embankment, and the depth of every cutting; and
a datum horizontal line shall be drawn on the
plan, which line shall be the same throughout
the whole length of the work, and shall be
referred to some fixed point, stated in writing on
the section, at or near some point of such work,
and in case of a canal, cut, navigation, road, or
railway, at or near one of the termini.
Navigation Sections.
36. In the case of Bills for improving the
navigation of any river, there shall be a section
which shall show the levels of both banks of such
river along the whole line of the proposed im-
proved navigation, and where any alteration is
intended to be made in the height of any bank of
such river, it shall describe the vertical extent of
such alteration, in feet and decimal parts of a foot.
- In every section of a railway, the line of
the railway marked thereon shall correspond with
the upper surface of the rails.
Distances—Gradient.
38. Distances on the datum line shall be
marked in miles and furlongs; a vertical measure
from the datum line to the line of the railway
shall be marked in feet and decimal parts of a
foot at every point of change of the gradient, and
the vertical rise or fall per hundred feet horizontal
between each such point of change, and the next
in order to it on each side shall be marked in feet
and decimal parts of a foot near to the part of the
line whose gradient is indicated.
Bridges and Crossings.
39. Whenever the line of the railway is intended
to cross any public road, navigable river, canal,
cut, navigation, or railway, over or depth
under the surface thereof, and the eighth clear-
headway and space of every arch, of all bridges
and viaducts by which the railway will be
carried over the same, shall be marked in feet and
decimal parts of a foot near every such crossing
thereof; and where the railway will be carried
across any such public road or railway on a level
therewith, such crossing shall be so described on
the section, and it shall also be stated whether
such level will be unaltered or not.
Alteration of roads—Cross sections.
40. If any alteration be included in the water
level of any canal, cut, or navigation, or in the
level or inclination of any public road or railway
which will be crossed by the line of railway, then
the same shall be stated on the section, and each
such alteration shall be numbered and cross-
sections numbered to correspond with such last-
mentioned number on a horizontal scale of not
less than one inch to every 300 feet, and on
a vertical scale of not less than one inch to
every 40 feet shall be added, which shall show
the unaltered surface of such canal, cut, navi-
gation, road, or railway, and the intended altered
surface thereof, and the unaltered intended rates
of inclination of the crossed road or railway;
and where any public road is crossed on the
level thereof a cross section along the line of
such road extending 200 yards on each side of
the centre line of the railway, and on the same
scale as the other cross sections aforesaid, shall
be added.
- Wherever the extreme height of any em-
bankment or the extreme depth of any cutting
shall exceed five feet, such extreme height or
depth shall be marked upon the section in feet
and decimal parts of a foot near the point where
it occurs; and if any bridge or viaduct of more
than four arches shall occur in any embankment,
or if any tunnel shall intervene in any cutting, the
parts of the embankment or cutting divided
thereby shall be treated as separate embankments
or cuttings respectively for the purpose of this rule.
Tunnels and Viaduct.
42. Where tunnelling or viaduct occurs in a
railway the same shall be marked on the plan.
Roads.
43. The preceding rules from the 38th to the
42nd inclusive shall apply to Bills for making,
varying, or enlarging any public road; the word
"railway" (wherever it is used in such rules a
meaning the line of railway, power to make, vary,
or enlarge which is sought) being taken to mean
the public road, power to make, vary, or enlarge
which is sought.
