Reference-marks.

90. Where no triangulation exists the traverse should be chained and observed twice, and, if possible, connected at about one-mile intervals to some permanent topographical feature outside the line of formation, such points to be marked by iron reference-tubes as described in Regulation No. 62.

Traverse and plot.

91. The traverse should generally commence at the same end, and the pegs should be numbered in the same direction as that of the engineering traverse, if any, and should be plotted upon drawing-paper of regulation size to a scale of 10 chains to an inch, or to such larger scale as will allow of all necessary details being shown. In the case of railways surveys for the preparation of land-plans the uniform scale of 3 chains to an inch is to be used, and the work must be plotted the length of the sheet irrespective of the north point, and each sheet should not contain more than one mile.

Length of sides.

92. The lengths of the boundary-lines of the area proposed to be taken should be given for each separate ownership, as well as its true position in the property.

Names, numbers, and markings.

93. The names of the present owners of properties, wherever they can be ascertained, and the numbers of the sections or subdivisions, blocks, &c., should be written on each plan; also the area of land taken for the work from each property or separate holding. The ground-marking, pegging, &c., should be done generally as directed in a previous part of these regulations.

Requirements as to map-details.

94. Maps must be drawn to the sizes and in the colours prescribed for working-plans. Boundaries of road districts should be edged in light colour, and the name printed in the same colour, each district having different colours. Lands to be taken are to be coloured in different colours for each adjoining property. Roads to be closed to be coloured green. In addition to the plan two copies on mounted tracing-cloth must be supplied. The plan is to be certified as correct (in the form given in Schedule B of the Appendix, modified to suit) by the surveyor who made the survey, and also “approved” by the Chief Surveyor of the district in which the land lies, and the title should state the Act, and the section thereof, under which the land is being taken. (See Appendix 12.) In roads taken under authority of the Governor’s warrant a further certificate is to be written on the plan in the form marked Schedule C in the Appendix hereto (modified to suit).

Schedule.

95. An accurate schedule of the land proposed to be taken from each property must be furnished with the plan in the form marked in Schedule D of the Appendix hereto.
