in making and building the railway as comprehended by the contract, cjraprising
clearing, close cutting, grubbing, cross-logging, fencing, excavation, draining, ditch-
ing, foundation works, waterways, public road croshings, farm road crossings, road
and stream diversions, embankments, bridges, viaducts, culverts and retaining walls,
concrete, paving, pitching, rip-rap, crib work, stream tunnels, ties and track spikes,
taking delivery of the mils, fish plates and bolts at ship's rail at
ballasting, track-laying, points, crossings, switche.s, signals, turnouts, sidings, station
buildings, engine houses, turntables, water tanks, and water services, with the
requisite machinery and fittings, and uU other works of every description which
may be necesdui y for the entire completion of the work according to the foUowin"'
specification, profiles and drawings hereto attached, and also the maintenance of all
the works during their construction and until the final estimate is issued and the
works formally accepted as complete by the Minister of Railways and Canals. The
Contractor shall enclo-ie all the ground as delivered to him by the Minister of Rail-
ways and Canals for the purposes of this contract with a good fence, and shall keep
the same enclosed during the progress of the works until the termination of the con-
tract, including the period for maintenance of the works, so as effectually to preserve
the adjoining land from trespass and prevent any injury whatever to any parties by
reason of the want of sufficient fences to separate their lands from the works, and
the Contractor shall be wholly responsible for all damages to crops and all the con-
sequences of insufficient fencing. Directions will be given at the proper time as
to the extent of ground required to be cleared, close cut and grubbed,
/ Clearing, &o.
2. Where the railway passes through wooded sections, the land shall be cleared «
to the width of 66 feet on each side of the centre line, or such further width as may
be ordered by the TSnginnor ; u\so, for a wiJlfi of 300 feet on each side of tbe centre

ordered by the Engineer. The clearing shall be done sothat all the brush, logs and
other loose material within its limits shall bo burned or removed. . i no case shall
any of the brush or logs be cast back upon the adjacent timber lands ; thoy shall
invariably be made intj piles near the centre of the space to be cleared.and if not
removed for fuel or othorwiso used, Ihoy shall bo ontiroly consumed. All brush or
trees accidentally or otherwise thrown into the adjacent woods, shall bo dragged out
and burned or removed. The land shall bo loft in a cloan condition.
3. Where embankments are to be formed less than 4 foot or more than 2 feet in
height, all toe standing timber and slumps shall be chopped close to the ground,
within the limits of the embankment, and burned.
4. Where excavation other than borrow pits and ballast pits will not exceed
three feet in depth, or embankments two feet in height, all stumps shall bo grubbed
out, and if possible, burnt ; those that will not burn shall be carried beyond the
limltB of the cuttings and embankments, and there piled.
Fenoino.
5. The Contractor shall construct a barbed wire fence in wooded portions
of the line, and an Everett lath and wire fence in cleared parts, throughout
the line of the railway grounds, as per drawing No. 3. Sills shall oe of round cedar,
6 inches at the smallest end, 9 feet long, and sunk in the ground 6 inches. Posts shall be

braces shall be let into the posts and sills 2 inches, and fastened with two 6-inch spikes
at each end. There shall be a top board 5 inches wide and one and one-half inches
thick, spiked vertically to the top of the posts, on the side farthest from the track, for
the barbed wire fence, and behind the second wire from the top for the Everett fence,
which board shall be let into the posts the thickness of itself, and secured with two
4-inch out spikes in each post. The top boards shall be 20 feet long, and shall be fastened
as above, or they may be 16 feet long and spliced on one side, with a 1-inch piece 2 feet
long fastened with eight 3^ inch steel nails clinched thus : :r~j — TT' \ -. -. \ >:
Four best galvanized barbed wires shall be stretched on the farthest side of the post
from the track, and proper' y secured with staples to each post. Bach wire shall be of
two twisted strands, and each barb shall have four points. Straining posts shall be
put in every 200 feet, and the fence drawn up tightly ; these posts shall be sunk in the
ground not less than 4 feet; they shall be braced both ways from the top of the post to
the foot of the adjoining posts, with S-inch round cedar braces, and shall be fastened
With two e-inch spikes at each end. The gate posts shall be placed on sills and

excavation for the forjiation of the road-bed, and shall bo oxocutod and tho material

pits whore pumping becomes necessary, all the excavation under water lovel shall bo

16. Excavation will be classed under live heads, viz ; 8olid rock, gypsum rock,
loose rook, borrow pits and earth and will be paid for according to the following
