APPENDIX O.
[Regulation 125.]
LAND PLANS.

In preparing land plans for the Public Works Department the following instructions must be strictly adhered to :—

1. In the case of railway surveys the uniform scale of 3 chains is to be used except for necessary enlargements showing details. The work is to be plotted lengthways of paper, irrespective of north point, from left to right, and advancing in accordance with the engineering-survey chainage. Each sheet is to commence and end, if possible, at a mile-peg, thus containing an even mile.

2. The engineering-survey chainage is to be shown on each sheet in red, each chain-peg to be marked and every tenth peg numbered, the original marks to be adhered to, and any discrepancies to be shown as long or short chains. Where, on account of defective original survey or of deviations subsequently decided on, the length of the engineering survey is incorrect, there shall also be shown on each sheet, in black or blue, at every 10 chains, the correct through mileage from the commencing-point. The exact relationship between the land-plan-survey chainage and the engineering-survey chainage shall be clearly indicated at intervals of not more than half a mile. The surveyor will require, to the extent necessary for the completion of the land-plan survey, to restore the original centre-line pegs of the railway survey, including the tangent and intersection or tie-line pegs. In all cases intersection pegs, or tie-line pegs if the intersection pegs be inaccessible, must be marked by iron tubes of standard pattern. Where necessary the curves are to be computed in the same manner as for the engineering survey.

3. Lands to be taken are to be coloured in different shades or colours for each adjoining property.

4. Where land is taken from two or more sections or subdivisions belonging to one owner, the area taken from each section or subdivision must be stated, and each section coloured distinctively.

5. The name of the survey district and the number of the block in such survey district must be given on each sheet, and the block or survey-district boundary must be indicated by the respective conventional dotted lines adopted for that purpose by the Survey Department, and marked “Block” or “Survey-district boundary,” as the case may be. The name of the local body in whose district the land lies is also to be stated, and the boundaries of such districts are to be shown if coming within the plan.

6. When Crown land is taken for a railway or a ballast-pit, &c., such land should be described as “Crown land,” and not “railway reserve,” “ballast reserve,” &c., unless it has been actually reserved for such purpose by Gazette notice.

7. All existing roads that are to be left open for the use of the public, whether crossed by railway or not, must be coloured burnt-sienna.

8. If any part of a road crossed by a railway is to be closed to the use of the public and occupied exclusively by the railway, the portion to be closed must be coloured green, and the area must be stated.

9. Land required to be taken for new roads, such as approach roads to railway-stations, or road-deviations rendered necessary by existing roads being closed by railway-works, are to be coloured sepia or orange; or, if
