and drains shall be constructed by the Board, but at the expense of the person requiring the same, and any such crossing or drain shall consist of such material as the Board shall from time to time approve. No person shall allow anything other than storm-water to pass through any drain laid under any footpath. Any person desiring to have a crossing made or drain laid leading from his property into any road shall make a written application in that behalf to the Clerk of the Board, and shall upon receipt of a notice from the Clerk of the Board stating the estimated cost of the construction of such crossing or drain, as the case may be, pay the amount of such estimated cost to the Clerk of the Board before the Board shall proceed with such construction. If any such crossing or drain shall be out of repair, the owner or occupier of the premises from which the same leads, or any person for whose use and benefit the same exists, shall, within seven days after notice in writing from the Clerk of the Board to that effect stating the repairs required, properly and completely repair the same in accordance with such notice, failing which the Board may effect such repairs, and recover the cost thereof from such owner, occupier, or person. And in case any such owner, occupier, or person shall make default and fail to comply with such notice within the time therein mentioned, he shall be deemed to commit an offence on every day during which he shall be in such default as aforesaid.

94. Carting over Footpaths.—No person shall cart any metal, stone, building, or other material across any footpath where there is not a crossing constructed, without the consent in writing of the Clerk of the Board, on written application made in that behalf, and stating the property to or from which the carting is to be done, first obtained; and the applicant for such consent shall, prior to the issue of such consent, deposit with the Clerk of the Board a sum not exceeding £10, as the Engineer or, if there be no Engineer, the Clerk of the Board shall direct, as security for the necessary repairs to the footpath or kerbing which may be caused by carting material or otherwise, and shall obtain a receipt for the same, and upon repairs being completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer or Clerk of the Board, as the case may be, the said deposit shall thereupon be returned; and, on failing to execute the necessary repairs after forty-eight hours’ notice to do so from the Clerk of the Board, the same shall be done at the cost and risk of the applicant, and the costs thereof deducted from the amount of such deposit.

95. Dedication of Roads.—Any person or persons constructing roads within the One Tree Hill Road District shall conform to the following:—

(a.) The road shall be formed for the full sixty-six feet—that is to say, the batters or slopes of cuttings or fillings shall not be on or within the sixty-six feet proposed to be dedicated, save and except where the road is bounded by property of others than that of the person laying out and dedicating the same; if such batter cannot be obtained owing to the rights of such adjoining owner, all cuttings shall be supported by retaining-walls sufficient, in the opinion of the Board’s Engineer, to secure the Board against the occurrence of landslips.

(b.) Where the road is formed along a siding or slope the maximum cross fall shall not exceed two feet.

(c.) Where the road is in embankment it is to be formed for one foot outside each or either boundary to allow of space for erection of fence.

(d.) A footpath shall be formed on each side of the boundary.

(e.) Each footpath shall be ten feet wide, with a fall from the outside towards the kerb-line of half inch to the foot.

(f.) The roadway shall be forty-six feet wide, formed with a camber of fall of nine inches from the centre to the watertables, which shall be twelve inches below the top of the kerb; the roadway shall then be covered for the width of eighteen feet with hard clean scoria or metal, as may be determined by the Board, of two-and-a-half-inch gauge, for a depth, after rolling, of nine inches at the centre to six inches at the sides.

(g.) The road metal to be completely covered with sufficient blinding or dirty scoria or other approved material to ensure after blinding a clean hard surface.

(h.) The footpaths are to be finished off true to grade, and, after fillings have been well rolled, to be covered with two inches of dirty scoria or metal waste to a smooth surface; on no account will either clean or coarse scoria be allowed.

(i.) Footpaths to be kerbed with rough stone or concrete kerbs, laid true to line and grade. A channel stone to be provided if in the opinion of the Board’s Engineer and the steepness of the grade requires it.

(j.) At junctions with existing roads, footpaths to be joined with curves struck with radii equal to width of narrowest path, to be kerbed with rough hammer-dressed kerbstones.

(k.) Where drainage of storm-water requires it, the junction with other roads must be made with a pitched channel from kerb to kerb formed of hammer-dressed stone sets not less than eight inches by eight inches by five inches, laid in rows in and on a bed of fine scoria or metal waste, and grouted with the same. Each channel to be of seven rows, the centre to be laid to the line of existing kerbing. The channel to be laid with a dish or hollow of not more than three inches. Where drainage does not require a channel the metal is to be carried out to the level of existing road.

(l.) Where required, the storm-water is to be intercepted by cesspits built of brick or concrete, to standard size, and to be drained to the approval of the Board’s Engineer, and covered with wrought-iron bow grates.

(m.) Pipes for storm-water to be not less than nine inches diameter.

(n.) Where drainage of storm-water is on to adjoining sections, this right must be secured to the Board by deed.

(o.) All new roads must be fenced with a fence of not less than four posts to the chain, with two battens between each post, and four wires.

(p.) Owners will be required to deposit with the Board half the estimated cost of tarring the paths, the work to be carried out at such time and in such manner as may be deemed advisable by the Board.

(q.) The fee (£2 2s.) for each inspection by the Board’s Engineer must also be deposited before dedication.

(r.) Longitudinal plans to a scale of not more than three inches to one horizontal and thirty feet vertical, and cross-sections to a scale of not more than fifteen feet to one inch, together with specifications, to be submitted for approval by the Board’s Engineer prior to construction of the same, and to remain the property of the Board.

96. Burial of Nightsoil.—No person shall bury or cause or suffer or allow to be buried, nightsoil within the curtilage of any premises which shall be less than one acre in extent, or within the curtilage of any premises used as an hotel or boardinghouse, and then not within thirty-three feet of any road, or any house or public building, or any building in which any person may be or may be intended to be employed in any manufacture, trade, or business within the district.

No fresh trench shall be opened up within three feet of an old trench at any time within three months of the final closing of such old trench.

All manure-pits must be emptied at least once a week.

(b.) After the District Health Officer or the Inspector shall, on account of some defect or fault therein, or wrongful use thereof, in writing notify such person not to use such sewage-tank, and until such notice shall be in writing withdrawn, by the person giving the same.

100. Water-closets.—No person shall use, or cause or allow to be used, any privy of the nature of a water-closet in the district connected with a sewage-tank unless such sewage-tank is approved and constructed in all particulars and parts in such manner, of such materials, and with such separate flushing and cleansing apparatus, traps, and pipes as the Inspector shall require.

101. Privy-pans.—The owner of each house in the district, in connection with which is used a privy other than a privy in the nature of a water-closet, shall provide or cause to be provided every pan privy with a watertight galvanized-iron pan of a size, pattern, and design approved by the Board for
