from the foundation to the top thereof
without any corbelling over whereby any
part of the brickwork, stone, or cement
concrete of such chimney shall overhang
any lower part thereof.

14. Every chimney, shaft, or flue, here-
    after built, raised, or repaired, must be
    carried up in brick or stonework, or
    cement concrete work, all round, at least
    four inches thick, to a height of not less
    than thirty-six inches above the highest
    part of such portion of the roof, flat, or
    gutter adjoining thereto, measured at the
    point of junction; and as to any chimney
    shaft (except that of a steam engine, brewery,
    distillery, or manufactory) the brick or
    stonework of such shaft or flue must not
    be built higher than eight feet above the
    slope, flat, or gutter of the roof which it
    adjoins, measured from the highest point
    of junction, unless such chimney be built
    of increased thickness, or be built with
    or bonded to another chimney shaft, or
    be otherwise rendered secure; and as to
    the chimney shaft for the boiler furnace
    of any steam engine, or for any brewery,
    distillery, or manufactory, such shaft may
    be erected of any height, so that it is
    built in such manner and of such strength
    and dimensions as shall be satisfactory to
    the Surveyor, upon special application in
    each case to the City Council.

15. Every oven, furnace, close fire, or
    forge, for the purpose of trade or manufacture, must be six inches at the least
    distant from any party wall, and must not
    be upon or within eighteen inches of any
    timber or woodwork, and the floor on or
    above which such oven, furnace, or close
    fire, or forge, shall be built or fixed must
    be formed and paved under the same, and
    for a distance of two feet all round the
    same, with stone, brick, tile, slate, or
    concrete, at the least two inches thick, or
    with other proper incombustible non-
    conducting materials. Every detached
    stove set or fixed in any building, shall
    be fixed subject to the requirements in
    this section, with the stove pipe leading
    into a brick, stone, or Portland cement
    concrete flue.

16. No chimney, shaft, jamb, breast, or
    flue already built, or hereafter to be
    built, shall be cut into for any purpose
    whatsoever without the consent of the
    Surveyor having been first obtained to
    the proposed alterations.

Footings.

17. The footings of all walls, public or
    private, abutting on any street line, must
    be built up to the surface of the ground
    with stone or brick set in mortar or
    cement, or with concrete, in such a
    manner as to produce solid work, and the
    bottom course of all footings for brick
    or stone walls must be at least 8½ inches
    wider than the walls standing thereon.

Party Walls.

18. All party walls must be built wholly
    of bricks set in mortar or cement, and
    bonded with hoop iron, or of stone, or
    cement concrete, and every such wall
    must be carried up to the full thickness
    specified in Schedule A.

External Walls.

19. All external walls (unless specially
    exempted by these regulations) must be
    either of brick, stone, or cement concrete,
    or of timber covered with corrugated iron
    of not less gauge than No. 26; but no
    such timber and iron wall shall be erected
    nearer than nine inches from any boundary
    line other than the frontage to a
    street, or the property of the owner of
    the building; nor shall any other building
    be erected nearer than eighteen inches
    from any wall of the like construction, or
    built of combustible materials having such
    timber and iron walls.

20. Whenever it may become necessary
    to enter upon the premises of any adjoining
    owner or occupier, for the purpose of
    effecting repairs to any external wall or
    portion of any building, it shall be lawful
    for the owner or occupier of any such
    building, after giving six clear days notice
    in writing to the owner or occupier of
    the adjoining premises, and depositing
    with the Town Clerk such sum as the
    Surveyor shall, by writing under his hand,
    certify to be necessary as security, wholly
    or in part, for any damage the adjoining
    property may sustain by reason of the
    execution of the repairs, to enter upon the
    adjoining premises, and continue a reasonable time in order to execute the necessary
    work. Provided that any damage the
    adjoining owner or occupier may sustain
    in consequence thereof, shall be assessed
    by the Surveyor, and made good or compensated for by the owner or occupier so
    repairing; and such compensation shall
    be defrayed wholly, or in part, as the case
    may be, out of the moneys deposited with
    the Town Clerk as security for such
    damages; and in case the amount so
    deposited shall be insufficient to meet the
    whole damage sustained, the balance shall
    be recovered by the party sustaining
    damage; or if the amount deposited shall
    exceed the actual damage, then the balance shall be refunded to the depositor.

21. The external walls of any building
    hereafter erected, may be finished with
    projecting eaves, instead of a parapet:
    provided that such external walls be
    distant at least fifteen feet from any
    boundary line, and shall, in all respects,
    excepting as to foundations adjoining
    footpaths, be exempt from these regulations.

Projections.

22. Projections from buildings such as
    base course piers, columns, pilasters, door
    and window dressings, dressing strings,
    fascias, copings, parapets, blocking
    courses, plinths, or other architectural
    decorations, forming part of an external
    wall, shall not project beyond the street
    line, except cornices, entablatures, or
