    the gutter, and covered on each side with
    galvanized iron.

Roofs.

35. The external parts of every turret,
    dormer, lantern light, or other erection
    on the roof or flat of any building here-
    after erected, must be covered with slates,
    tiles, galvanized iron, metal, glass, artificial
    stone, or cement, except the door frames
    and doors, window frames and sashes, of
    such turrets, dormers, lantern lights, or
    other erections which may be made of
    wood.

    dormer, lantern light, or other such erec-
    tion in the roof or flat of such building
    be rebuilt, stripped, ripped, or uncovered,

    any public way, and all such rain-water
    pipe and eaves gutters are to be made of
    metal.

Bressummer.

38. In buildings built of brick or stone
    every bressummer fixed to carry the front
    wall or cornice of a building must be laid
    upon a template or corbel of stone, wood,
    or iron, which template or corbel must be
    tailed through such wall at least two-
    thirds of the thickness thereof, and every
    bressummer must have at least four and
    one half inches of brick or stone work at
    the end thereof, and in addition to the
    supporting walls at the end of the bressummer every bressummer over twelve
    feet span must rest upon one or more
    sufficient intermediate piers of brick or
    stone, or on iron columns standing on
    solid stone foundations or trussed iron
    girders, approved by the Surveyor, may
    be used in lieu of any such bressummer.

Bearings of Timbers.

39. The ends of all timbers bearing
    upon a party wall exceeding nine inches
    in thickness must not be laid nearer than
    two inches to the centre thereof, unless
    such timbers are separated longitudinally
    from the timbers of the adjoining house
    by at least four inches of brickwork, in
    which case they may bear upon the wall
    for two-thirds of its thickness. The ends
    of all timbers bearing upon a party wall
    nine inches thick must not project
    through the wall, but must have four
    inches of brickwork at the ends of the
    same, and all the timbers must be separated from those of the adjoining house
    by at least four inches of brickwork.

40. Nothing in the foregoing regula-
    tions shall prevent any shed, open on all
    sides, without fireplaces, furnaces, or
    forges, and with supports to the roof of
    wood, iron, or brick or stone not exceed-
    eighteen inches diameter, and roofed with
    iron or slates, from being erected adjacent
    to any building, but if either of the sides,
    or part of any one or more of them be
    enclosed, the enclosing wall must be built
    of the materials and dimensions required
    for other buildings of the same height
    and similar situation no wall already
    erected and made use of as an enclosing
    wall shall be used in any way as a sup-
    porting wall without the consent of the
    owner and Surveyor.

41. Nothing in these regulations shall
    prevent any contractors' or builders' tem-
    porary offices, sheds, or workshops from
    being erected of wood or iron on any
    building site during such building oper-
    ations, provided that special application
    be made to and permission for such pur-
    pose be granted by the City Council.

Disputes.

42. If any disputes shall arise between
    the Surveyor and any persons respecting
    the meaning or operation of any part of
    these regulations, the question at issue
    shall be referred by the Surveyor to the
    City Council for their adjudication, and
    their decision thereon shall be final.

43. No tent of any description shall
    be erected or maintained within the
    boundaries of the City of Wellington
