cut, canal, reservoir, aqueduct, or navigation, or into
any variation, extension, or enlargement thereof re-
spectively, for supplying the same with water.
38. In all cases where it is proposed to make, vary,
extend, or enlarge any railway, the plan shall exhibit
thereon the distances in miles and furlongs from one
of the termini, and a memorandum of the radius of
every curve not exceeding one mile in length shall be
noted on the plan in furlongs and chains; and where
tunnelling as a substitute for open cutting is intended,
such tunnelling shall be marked by a dotted line on
the plan.
39. If it be intended to divert, widen, or narrow any
public carriage road, navigable river, canal, or rail-
way, the course of such diversion, and the extent of
such widening or narrowing, shall be marked on the
plan.

Book of Reference.
40. 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 lands
or houses in the line of the proposed work, or within
the limits of deviation as defined upon the plan, and
shall describe such land and houses respectively.
(See Schedule.)

Sections.
41. The section shall be drawn on the same hori-
zontal scale as the plan, and to a vertical scale of not
less than one inch to every one hundred feet, and
shall show the surface of the ground marked upon
the plan, the intended level of the proposed work, the
height of every embankment and the depth of every
cutting, and a datum horizontal line, which shall be
the same throughout the whole length of the work
or any branch thereof respectively, and shall be re-
ferred to some fixed point (stated in writing on the
section) near some portion of such work, and in case
of a canal, cut, navigation, or public carriage road or
railway, near either of the termini.
42. In cases of Bills for improving the navigation
of any river, there shall be a section which shall
specify the levels of both banks of such river; and
where any alteration is intended to be made therein,
it shall describe the same by inches and feet, or
decimal parts of a foot.
43. In every section of a railway, the line of the
railway marked thereon shall correspond with the
upper surface of the rails.
44. Distance on the datum line shall be marked in
miles and furlongs to correspond with those on the
plan; a vertical measure, from the datum line to the
line of the railway, shall be marked in feet and inches,
or decimal parts of a foot, at each change of the
gradient or inclination, and the proportion or rate of
inclination between each such change shall also be
marked.
45. Wherever the line of the railway is intended
to cross any public carriage road, navigable river,
canal, or railway, the height of the railway over or
depth under the surface thereof, and the height and
span of every arch of all bridges and viaducts by
which the railway will be carried over the same, shall
be marked in figures at every crossing thereof; and
where the railway will be carried across any such
public carriage road, or railway, on the level thereof,
such crossing shall be so described on the section,
and it shall also be stated if such level will be un-
altered.
46. If any alteration be intended in the water level
of any canal, or in the level or rate of inclination of
any public carriage road or railway which will be
crossed by the line of railway, then the same shall be
stated on the section, and each alteration shall be
numbered, and cross sections in reference to the said
numbers, on a horizontal scale of not less than one
inch to every 330 feet, and on a vertical scale of not
less than one inch to every 40 feet, shall be added,
which shall show the present surface of such canal,
road, or railway, and the intended surface thereof
when altered, and the greatest of the present and
intended rates of inclination of such road or railway
shall also be marked in figures thereon; and where
any public carriage road is crossed on the level, a
cross section of such road shall also be added, and all
such cross sections shall extend for 200 yards on each
side of the centre line of the railway.
47. Wherever the extreme height of any embank-
ment or extreme depth of any cutting shall exceed
five feet, the extreme height over or depth under the
surface of the ground shall be marked in figures upon
the section, and if any bridge or viaduct of more than
three arches shall intervene in any embankment, or
if any tunnels shall intervene in any cutting, the
extreme height or depth shall be marked in figures
on each of the parts into which such embankment or
cutting shall be divided by such bridge, viaduct, or
tunnel.
48. Where tunnelling as a substitute for open
cutting, or viaduct as a substitute for solid embank-
ment, is intended, the same shall be marked on the
section.

ESTIMATES AND DECLARATION IN CERTAIN CASES.
49. An estimate of the expense of the undertaking
shall be made, and signed by the person making the
same.
50. When the work is to be made wholly or in
part by means of funds or out of money to be raised
upon the credit of the Revenue of any Provincial
Government or upon the credit of the present Surplus
Revenue, or from funds belonging to any Society or
Company, or under the control of Directors, Trustees
or Commissioners, as the case may be, of any existing
Public Work, such parties being the promoters or
part promoters of the Bill, a declaration stating these
facts, and setting forth the nature of such control,
and the nature and amount of such revenue, funds,
or surplus revenue, and showing the actual surplus
of such funds or revenue, after deducting the funds
required for purposes authorized by any Act or Acts
of the General Assembly or the Legislature of such
Province, and also the funds which may be required
for any other work to be executed under any Bill in
the same Session, shall be made and given under the
Common Seal of the Province, Society, or Company,
or under the hand of some authorized officer of such
Directors, Trustees, or Commissioners.
51. The Examiner and the Joint Committee on
Standing Orders and Committees on Private Bills
generally, may admit affidavits or declarations in
proof of the compliance with the Standing Orders
and other facts required to be proved, unless in any
case they shall require further evidence, and such
affidavit or declaration shall be sworn or taken
before a Solicitor of the Supreme Court or a Justice
of the Peace.

PROCEEDINGS BEFORE EXAMINER AND JOINT
COMMITTEE ON STANDING ORDERS.
52. The Examiner shall certify, by indorsement on
each Petition which shall have been duly deposited in
his Office, whether the Standing Orders have or have
not been complied with; and when they have not been
complied with, he shall report to the House the facts
upon which the decision is founded, and any special
circumstances connected with the case.
53. The Joint Committee on Standing Orders
shall report to the House whether, in the opinion of
