Traverse and Plot.

129. The traverse shall generally commence at the same end, and the
     pegs shall be numbered in the same direction as that of the engineering
     traverse, if any, and shall 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 railway 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 contain one mile.

Length of Sides.

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

Names, Numbers, and Markings.

131. The names of the present owners of properties, wherever they
     can be ascertained, and the numbers of the sections or subdivisions,
     blocks, &c., shall 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., shall be done generally as directed in a previous part of
     these regulations.

Requirements as to Plan-details.

132. Plans shall be drawn to the sizes and in the colours prescribed
     for working plans. Boundaries of local bodies’ districts shall 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 unmounted tracing-
     cloth shall be supplied. The plan is to be certified as correct by the
     surveyor who made the survey, and also “approved” by the Chief Sur-
     veyor of the district in which the land lies, and the title shall state the
     Act, and the section thereof, under which the land is being taken. (See
     Appendix M.)

Schedule.

133. An accurate schedule of the land proposed to be taken from
     each property shall be furnished with the plan in the form shown in
     Appendix P. In the case of a road-deviation a schedule of the road to
     be closed shall also be furnished.

PART V.—LAND TRANSFER SURVEYS.

Regulations to apply.

134. The foregoing regulations shall equally apply to surveys made
     under the Land Transfer Act, 1915, wherever they are not inconsistent
     with the following regulations, which shall apply specially to surveys
     made under the Land Transfer Act, 1915. Only a surveyor specially
     licensed by the Surveyor-General shall be eligible to make such surveys.
     (See Regulation 4.)

Field-book.

135. Surveyors in private practice shall send in the original field notes
     of the survey either in a field-book or in loose-leaf form.

Statutory Declaration.

136. Any plan purporting to be a survey, a resurvey, or subdivision
     of any land is to be signed by the surveyor who actually made the
     measurements in the field, and shall also be verified by statutory declara-
     tion of the licensed surveyor employed to make such survey, in the form
     given in Appendix N hereto.

Plan to be lodged.

137. Such plan shall be lodged with the District Land Registrar, and
     sent by him to the Chief Surveyor for approval, and only when so approved
     shall be deemed to be accurate for all purposes of the Land Transfer
     Act.

Connection to Standard Survey.

138. Surveys within an area covered by a standard traverse shall be
     connected to the stations of the standard survey. The surveyor shall
     use the standard blocks as his initial for bearing, and in all cases he shall
     start his work from one standard block, continue to a second, and check
     the bearing on a third block.
