    or culvert except on such planks, and after crossing such
    bridge or culvert such owner or person in charge of such
    engine shall replace such planks in their proper position.

15. Traction engines shall be driven so that none of the
    wheels shall travel in ruts formed in the highway by the
    wheels of the same or any other traction-engine.

16. Every traction-engine shall be driven as near as prac-
    ticable to the left-hand side of the highway according to the
    direction in which such traction-engine is proceeding, without

    and address to be painted or marked on such engine on the
    off side thereof, in letters of not less than two inches in
    height, and of proportionate breadth, and of such a colour or
    in such a manner as to be clearly distinguishable from the
    colour or nature of the ground whereon such letters are
    painted or marked, and when such owner possesses more than
    one engine a separate number distinguishing each such
    engine shall in like manner be painted immediately below
    such name and address. The exact and true weight of every
    engine, and the maximum weight of water and coals neces-
    sary for its propulsion, and the exact and true weight of every
    wagon drawn by any such engine, shall also be painted in
    like manner upon or affixed to some conspicuous part of such

    of his engines, to the Clerk of the Anama Road Board, in
    order that the same may be registered, and the said Clerk
    shall thereupon deliver to such owner a certificate of the
    registration of such engine or of each of such engines for the
    then current year.

19. Every person employed in driving or conducting an
    engine shall while so employed have in his possession a
    printed copy of these by-laws, and also the certificate of
    registration mentioned in clause 18 of these by-laws, and he
    shall exhibit the same on demand to any person in charge of
    a horse, or vehicle drawn by a horse.

20. Nothing herein contained shall be held to relieve
    owners or employers of traction-engines from liability in
    respect of injury done and damage sustained by the traction

    bridge or roadway.

21. Any person committing a breach of or failing to
