Notification of Regulations prescribing Terms and
Conditions for the use of the Mount Ida Water-
race and Sludge Channel

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers and
authorities vested in me by "The Public Works
Act, 1876," I, the Honorable John Davies Ormond,
Minister for Public Works, do hereby repeal the
Regulations dated 13th June and 18th July, 1877,
and published in Gazettes Nos. 53 and 62 of the
same year, and do make in lieu thereof the Regu-
lations hereinafter set forth prescribing the terms
and conditions upon which the water-race therein
mentioned may be used, and the rates and charges
to be paid for water supplied, that is to say, —

1. The Mount Ida Water-race and Sludge Channel,
   and all the dams, races, and works of any kind in
   connection therewith (hereinafter included in the
   expression "the race"), shall be under the control
   of an officer, to be from time to time appointed by
   the Governor, to be called the "Manager." Any
   such Manager may be removed or dismissed from his
   office by the Governor.

2. The Manager shall have entire charge of the
   race, and shall be responsible for keeping the same
   in proper repair, and for maintaining the supply of
   water; and may, subject to these Regulations, sell
   and supply water to miners for mining purposes, and
   grant permission to miners to connect tail-races with
   the sludge channel, and to run water and tailings
   into the same. The Manager, so long as he shall
   hold office, shall be the person to recover all rates and
   charges payable under these Regulations, as provided
   in "The Public Works Act, 1876," and the Manager
   for the time being shall be deemed to be duly autho-
   rized by the Minister for that purpose.

3. No person shall take water from the race, or any
   reservoir or branch race in connection therewith, or
   run water or tailings into the sludge channel, or in
   any way interfere with any of them, without the con-
   sent of the Manager.

4. Water from the race shall be sold by measure,
   the unit of measurement for the purposes of these
   Regulations being taken to be what is known as
   the "Hogburn head,"—that is to say, a stream of
   water flowing for eight hours through an aperture
   16 inches wide by 1 inch high in one end of a gauge
   box 6 feet long and 5 inches deep interior measure-
   ment, with a pressure or "head" board of 4 inches
   in width above the discharge aperture; the box to be
   open at the top, and fixed level. For the purpose of
   measuring more than one "Hogburn head" the box
   may be enlarged horizontally, or the side may be
   raised and the aperture enlarged perpendicularly.
