   the driver of such engine or some other person accompany-
   ing such engine shall first cross such bridge or culvert on
   foot and remove from the surface of such bridge or culvert
   all pieces of road-metal, stones, or other substance which

   passed over by the wheels of such engine.
6. No engine shall be taken across any bridge which shall
   have studs or rings of iron or other metal affixed to or raised
   upon the level of the tires of the wheels of such engine, that
   shall have or be likely to have the effect of sinking into,
   breaking, or splitting the surface of such bridge or any of the
   planks thereof.
7. Before any engine shall be taken across any bridge the
   length of which shall be less than 33ft. the driver or other
   person in charge of such engine shall first lay down on such
   bridge planks or ways of sufficient length and width and not
   less than 3in. in thickness, for the purpose of distributing as

   surface of such bridge, and no engine shall be taken upon or
   across such bridge save on such planks or ways.
8. When any damage or injury is done by an engine to any
   road, fence, bridge, culvert, drain, or side ditch, or to any
   other thing appertaining thereto, the driver of such engine
   shall at once give notice in writing to the County Road In-
   spector or to the Clerk of the County Council of the nature
   of such damage or injury, and of the place or locality where,
   and the time when, the same happened; and if such damage or
   injury has rendered the road or its appurtenances dangerous
   for ordinary traffic or to public safety the owner or driver of
   such engine shall, in addition to giving such notice as afore-
   said, at once place and maintain at or near the place where
   such damage or injury has happened such signals as shall
   be sufficient to give warning to all persons using such road
   by day or night of the existence of such damage or injury.
9. No engine which, together with the maximum weight of
   coals and water (whether such maximum weight of coals and
   water is then on such engine or not), weighs more than the
   amount mentioned and limited in the notice next herein-
   after referred to, and no vehicle, whether drawn by such
   engine or not, which, together with its load, weighs more than
   the amount mentioned and limited in such notice, shall go
   upon or across any bridge at or near the approaches to
   which the notice in the following clause referred to shall be
   posted.
10. The Council may fix, specify, and notify the maximum
    weight of any engine or vehicle which may be suffered to go
    across or upon any bridge by a notice in the terms set forth
    at the foot hereof or in some similar terms, and when such
    notice has been placed in a conspicuous position upon any
    bridge or at or near the approaches thereto the same shall
    have the like effect as if any excess of the amount thereby
    limited had been expressly prohibited by the last foregoing
    clause. Such notice may, in cases where the Council deems
    it necessary, notify that no engine shall be suffered to go
    upon or over such bridge.
    NOTICE.—No engine which, together with the maximum
    weight of coals and water which such engine is constructed
    to carry for its propulsion (whether such maximum weight
    of coals and water be then on such engine or not), weighs
    more than 6 tons, and no vehicle which, together with the
    load thereon, weighs more than 8 tons, is permitted to cross
    this bridge (or culvert).—By order of the Council of the
    Bruce County.—Alex. Nelson, County Clerk.
11. No traction-engine shall pass along any road unless
    the name and address of the owner of such engine shall be
    painted in plain and legible letters upon some conspicuous
    part of the off-side thereof, and the exact and true weight of
    every engine, including in such weight the true maximum
    weight of coals and water which such engine is constructed
    to carry for its propulsion, be painted in plain legible figures
    or letters upon some conspicuous part of such engine.
12. Nothing herein contained shall be held to relieve
    owners, employers, or drivers of engines or vehicles from any
    liability to the county in respect of injury done to or damage
    sustained by any road, bridge, or culvert, which arises from a
    breach by them of this by-law, or from the excessive weight
    of any traction-engine or vehicle belonging to or used or
    driven by such owner, employer, or driver respectively.
13. Any person who shall commit a breach of or fail to
    comply with any of the provisions or requirements of this
    by-law shall for every such offence be liable to a penalty of
