time thereafter, to take and lay off for public pur-
poses one or more line or lines of road or railway
through the said lands: Provided that the total

and authorities enabling me in this behalf, do hereby
authorize James Daniel Baird, Provincial District

for that purpose to exercise all such powers as
by the said Act may be exercised by a person legally
authorized in that behalf under the said Act.
