may be produced to him, and shall debit each holder
of a "water ticket" with the value of water supplied
to him and of channel fees incurred; and in case of
reduction of or stoppage of supplies, as in the last
section provided, the holder of the "water ticket"
shall be entitled to have the amount made up to him
in water whenever a sufficient supply shall again be
available for the purpose, or in channel privileges,
or in cash by way of refund.

15. The Manager shall turn on the water from the
    race for the supply of purchasers, and turn off the
    same; and no person shall turn on water or turn it
    off, or in any way interfere with the gauges, except
    by authority of the Manager.

16. Any person desiring to cut a tail-race to run
    into or connect with the sludge channel shall apply
    in writing to the Manager, stating where the proposed
    tail-race will connect with the channel, its intended
    dimensions and "fall;" and if on inquiry the Manager
    shall be of opinion that such race may be safely
    allowed to be connected with the channel, he shall
    certify accordingly to the Warden.

17. No certificate for any tail-race to be connected
    with or run into the sludge channel shall be granted
    by the Warden, unless it shall be certified to him by
    the Manager as aforesaid that such tail-race may be
    safely so constructed.

18. The Manager shall not, without special
    sanction of the Warden, certify for the construc-
    tion of any tail-race to be connected with and run
    into the channel of a greater incline than 5 inches in
    12 feet for a distance back from the point of june-
    tion of two chains.

19. No tail-race shall be allowed to be made to
    connect with the sludge channel upon its eastern
    side, unless the same be tunnelled in the solid solid
    for a length of at least sixty-six feet from the bank
    of the sludge channel, or be boxed for the same
    length, and the earth filled in to the surface; and
    every such tail-race shall be fitted with a sufficient
    gate, which shall, if required by the Manager, be
    kept closed during floods.

20. No tail-race or head-race or flood-channel
    shall be made nearer to the sludge channel than 66
    feet on its eastern side and 33 feet on its western
    side, except by consent of the Manager.

21. When any tail-race shall have been made,
    under the authority of these Regulations, to be con-
    nected with and run into the channel, it shall be
    lawful for the owner or occupier of such tail-race to
    run water and tailings through it into the channel,
    subject to these Regulations.

22. It shall be lawful for the Manager to assess
    the carrying capacity and average discharge of any
    tail-race that shall be connected with and run into
    the sludge channel, and the number of "Hogburn-
    heads" so estimated as the average discharge shall be
    mentioned on the "water ticket" which the Manager
    shall give to the owner or occupier of the tail-race;
    and the owner or occupier shall pay weekly, in ad-
    vance, the fees for the said number of "Hogburn-
    heads" run into the sludge channel.

23. In case the owner or occupier of any tail-race
    shall be dissatisfied with the Manager's assessment
    of average discharge as aforesaid, he may appeal to
    the Warden, who shall thereupon confirm or vary
    such assessment, and the decision of the Warden
    shall be final.

24. No person using any tail-race shall be allowed
    to discharge water or tailings into the sludge channel
    unless he shall have paid, in advance, the fees for the
    average discharge of such race as aforesaid.

25. The owner or occupier of any tail-race dis-
    charging water and tailings into the sludge channel,
    shall at any time cease to so discharge water and
    tailings when required so to do by the Manager,
    either verbally or in writing.

26. In case any person who shall have paid in
    advance for a supply of water, or for the privilege of
    discharging water and tailings into the sludge chan-
    nel, shall cease to require such water or privilege, it
    shall be lawful for him to obtain a refund of the
    unappropriated balance of the money so paid by him;
    and such refund shall be payable out of the Colonial
    Treasury upon a voucher certified by the Manager.
