SPECIFICATIOJ^ FOR THE COJ^STRUCTWJ^ OF ,„

THE WORK.

^^/

1. This specification refera to the works of construction and materials required
in making and building the railway as comprehended by the contract, comprising
clearing, close cutting, grubbing, cross-logging, temporary and permanent fencing,
ezcayation,draining,ditching, foundation works, water-ways, public road crossings, farm
road crossings, road and stream diversions, embankments, bridge, culvert and retaining
wall masonry, concrete, paving, riprap, crib work, crib-wharfing, pile, trestle, truss
and swing bridges and viaducts, log culverts, tunnels, sleepers, track bolts and spikes,
taking delivery of the rails and fish-plates at ship's rail, ballasting, track-laying, points,
crossings, switches, signals, turn-outs, sidings, wharf at Port Moody, station buildings,
water tanks and water services, with the requisite machinery and fittings and all other
worksofeverydescription, whether temporary or permanent, which may be necessary
for the cntira completion according to the following specification, profiles and draw-
ings hereto attached, of that portion of the Canadian Pacific Haihvay abov^e named
and referred to, and more particularly shown on the plan of the same (drawings
Nos. 1 and 2,) being a distance of about 85§ miles of single track with the requisite
tum-oots and station sidings, and also the maintenance of all the works during their
construction and until the final estiratfte is issued and the works formally accepted
as complete by the Minister of Bailways and Canals.

2. The contractor is to enclose all the open or cultivated ground as delivered to
him by the Minister of Bailways and Canals for the purposes of this contract with a
good fence, which, if he prefei*s, may in the first instance be temporary, and shall
keep the same enclosed during the progress of the works until the termination of the
contract, including the period for maintenance of the works so as cfTcctually to preserve
the adjoining land from trespass and prevent any injury whatever to anj' parties
by reason of the want of sufficient fences to separate their lands fr<
the contractor shall be wholly responsibL for all damages to croj
B«quence8 of insaflicieDt fencing.

l^i^M^aiaMiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiii

3. Before the termination of the contract the Contractor shall construct a perma-
nent fence throughout such parts of the line as indicated on the plans and profiles.

Clearino, Etc.

Clearing. 4. Where the mil way jiasscs through wooded sections, the land must bo cleared to

the width of sixty-six feet on each side of the centre line, or such further width as may
be required for slopes of cuttings and fences; also for a width of 300 feet on each side
of ihe cuitre lino at stations, for a length of 2,000 feet.

5. The clearing is to be done so that all the brush, logs, and other loose material
"within its limits .'hall be burned or removed. In no case shall any of the brush or
logs be cast back upon the adjacent timber lands; they must invariably be made into
piles near the eciilic of the space to bo cleared, and if not removed for fuel or other-
wise used, they must be entirely consumed. All brush or trees accidentally or other-
wise thrown into the adjacent woods, mus^ bo dragged out anJ burned or removed.
'] he land must be left in a clean condition.

Close cutting 6. Where embankments are to bo formed less than four feet or more than two feet

in height, all the standing timber and stumps must be chopped close to the ground
within the limits of the embankment, and burned.

Grubbing. 7' Where excavations will not exceed three feet in depth, or embankments two

feet in height, all stumps must be grubbed out, and if possible burnt; those that wjll
not burn, must bo carried beyond the limits of the cuttings and embankments, whero^
directed, and there piled. Directions will be given at the proper time, as to the
extent of ground required to be cleared, close cut, and grubbed. The side ditching
and offtake drains must also be grubbed.

Fencing.

Fencing. 8. The railway grounds where they adjoin occupied or pasture lands w ill bo en-

closed with a strong snake fence, made with round or splTt rails of Douglas fir or cedar
12 to 15 feet in length, and having a cross section of not less than 12 square inches.
The lower rails will bo laid on blocks so as to raise them 6 inches above the general
level of the ground. They will be secured at the angles by two slanting posts set
not less than one foot in the ground, and crossing each other above the top rail.
These posts may be round or split, and shall have a cross section not less in dimen-
sions than that of the rails, and they shall bo of cedar or Douglas fir; they will bo
held in place at the top by a heavy rail or rider laid in the angle abo%'e the posts. The
fence when completed shall bo not less than 5 feet high above the general level of tho
ground as per drawing No. 11. Over ground sub [cct to overflow a strong post and
barb wire fence will be substituted and placed where the Engineer may direct.

Geadino.

9. Under this term is included all excavations and embankments and surface forrr-
ing, whatever may be the materials, and whether the same be required for the line
of Railway, or for tho diversion or forming of water-courses, roads, approaches to

bridgeB or level ^ropsings, draining and offtake ditches, fitation grounds and all other
works, contingent upon, or relating to excavations and embankments, as required by
the nature of the contract or described in this specification.

10. In woodland the i^vaii'wa will be t ,ramenced after the clearinff, close cuttinij Time of oom-

D o o> o mencetnent

and grubbing required is completed to tiie satisfaction of the Engineer, and in cuiti- "" crop^"^*
vated sections, the Contractor will be held responsible for damages to crops.

11. The red line on the profile exhibited, according to drawings No. 3 and -1, in li- Pj^o"'^*
cates the formation level, thai is, the surface of the tops of embankments and the
bottoms of cuttings previous to the laying and ballasting of the permanent way.
The black undulating line represents the present surface of the ground, and the blue
line the level of the top of rail which is 16 inches above formation level.

12. The cuttings shall be formed to the cross section exhibited according Cuttings]
to drawings Nos. 6 and 7. The width at formation level will bo 22 feet, and the
inclination of the slopes in earth w[ll bo one and a half horizontal to one porpen- M
dicular. In rock cuttings the slopes will be, as a rule, one horizontal to four perpen
dicalar. In cuttings partly earth and partly rock, a berm of 6 feet shall be loft on
the surface of the rock. But those jjroportions may bo varied by the Engineer to

' suit the nature of the materials to be excavated and insure the stability of the slopes.

13. The whole of the grading shall be carefully formed to the levels given, and J^J^iag^^*"
the roadway in cuttings shall invariably be rounded, and loft at not less than six
inches lower at the sides than in the centre. There shall be a side ditch at the foot
of each slope throughout the whole length of the cuttings, the bottom of which shall
be kept 12 inches below the roadway on the centre line, and lower if necessary, with
a fall towards the ends of the cuttings so as thoroughly to drain the same. The
cuttings shall be widened a little at the ends, and these ditches carried into the ditches
at the sides of the embaukmeuts, so as not to injure the latter. «

14. In very wet cuttings, arising from springs or soakage, drains shall bo formed Drains in
at the foot of the slopes averaging about four foot deep, formed with a bed of three
poles, two to three inches in diameter, laid breaking joint in the bc>ttom of the trench
and then filled up with coarse gravel or broken stone not larger than ordinary road
motal. In level cuttings the trenches must bo dug to a greater depth than four feet
at the ends, so as to give sufficient flow for the water.

15. Ditches shall bo formed at one or both sides of the cuttings, as the inclination catch-watcr

dltcbcs

of the ground may require, so as to exclude from them any water draining offer
flowing from the adjoining lands. Thoy shall not be nearer than twenty feet from
the top of the slopes, and shall bo graded to such depths as to carry the water clear
of the cutting and into tho ditches at the sides of the embankments, or to the nearest
water course.

16. Tho cuttings shall, in all cases, during tho progress of the work as well as slope drains]
afterwards, be kept perfectly dry; and whenever the slopes are wet and the

embank-
nients.

material seriously affected by springs, soaks, heavy rains or thaws, they shall be
thoroughly drained by forming oblique drains up the slopes, not lese than 3 feet
deep, and at such intervals as the Engineer may direct; such drains to be filled with
broken stone or coarse gravel as already described.

17. When slips occur in the cuttings after thoy are properly formed, the material
must bo immediately removed by the Contractor, the slopes re-formed, and such pre-
cautions adopted as the Engineer may doom necessary.

18. The embankments shall be formed according to drawing No.8. The materials
taken from the cuttings or borrow pits to be u-^ed in forming the embankments and
road approaches must be approved by the Engineer; ice or snow must be excluded.
When the quantity of tho cutting is more than sufficient to make the embankment of
the specified width, tho surplus material may be wasted; but in every case where
either bori-owing or wasting is resorted to, tho materials must bo taken and deposited
as the Engineer may approve.

19. In places where the natural surface of the ground upon which the embankment
is to rest, is covoroJ with vegetable matter which cannot be burned off in clearing,
and which would, in the opinion of the Engineer, impair the work, the same must be
removed to his entire satisfaction. In the event of the line crossing muskegs or
morasses, it may be deemed by the Engineer expedient that a platform of logs shall
be formed under the embankment, of such width as will extend through and to not
less than 6 feet beyond the uido slopes, and 16 inches deep. The logs to range from 6
inches to 15 inches in diameter, and must be laid close together Literally and also
longitudinally, as may be directed.

20. Where the embankment is to be formed on side hill ground covered with pas-
ture, the ground shall be deeply ploughed before the work is commenced ; and where
the slope is so steep as to endanger the slipping of the embankment,bcnchcs shall be cut
in such manner as the Engineer may direct. If the ground is wet or spongy through
spi'ings or soaks, it shall first be thoroug hly unde r jj-ained as the Engineer may see
expedient. These drains will be constructed in a similar way to that in which
oixiinary land drains are sometimes made. A trench will fii-st be dug to a minimum
depth of four feet, and in the bottom of this trench, four or five cedar or spruce poles
about three inches in diameter will first be laid by hand, breaking joint; over the
poles will then bo placeil not less than three feet of small broken stono, not larger than
ordinary road metal or good gravel ballast, over which will be deposited such material
convenient to the place as the Engineer may approve of. The Contractor must find
all the material required in these drains, and do all the work described. These drains
must always be made with a sufficient longitudinal fall for the easy flow of the water,

AUowancefor 21. The embankments shall bo 17 feet wide at formation level, and the slopes will
generally have an inclination of one and a half horizontal to one perpendicular, but
in their formation, whether for the railway or approaches to bridges or level croasings

ample allowance mnet in the first instance bo made by tho Contractor, for all sub-
Bequent eettlenaent or shrinkage, and particularly in the top width ; and for this
purpose the top, besides being kept higher than tlie levels given, Hhall bo formed in
the first instance wider than the specified dimensions, to such extent as mny be
deemed necessary, according to the height of tho embankment and the nature of the
materials of which it is formed, so that when it is thoroughly consolidated it will
^tand at least the full width reijuired.

22. The embankments will bo made up with the materials from the line cuttings Borrow pits,
and from side ditches, except where otherwise directed, when these are insufficient, the
line cuttings will be widened, or materials procured from borrowinij pits. All materials
placed in the embankments must be approved by the Engineer; no stumps, logs or
other perishable or unsuitable material shall bo used, and no material shall bo supplied
■without his concurrence until the cuttings arc completed.

23. The ditches at the sides of the embankments shall bo cut with slopes not steeper side diiohei.
^ than one and a half foot base to one foot porpondicular height. The top of the slopes

nearest the Railway shall not be less than six feet from the foot of the embankments.

Those ditches shall be graded so as to carry off the water to the next natural water

.course, and where there is so much water as to form a strong current, the ditch shall

be formed as far from the embankment as tho Engineer may deem necessary for the

safety of the latter. Special attention is called to those long stretches of the line on

i low lands subject to overflow to the depth of several feet from high floods in tho

Wi rivers, as shown on the profile; no side ditches will be allowed in such places, and

the embankments will have to be made from the most convenient borrow pits that

I can be found at either end. This can only bo done by train, and a temporary track

I will be required. In some cases whei-e the overflow is shallow, as on part of Maria

; Island, borrow pits ma}' be dug at intervals, but not nearer tho embankment than 50

4 feet. No continuous ditch will bo allowed as it would form a leading channel for

the overflow and certainly prove destructive to the embankment within a very short

. .. period.

I 24. In flat sections a berm shall be loft between tho roadway and ditch of such Berm

\r width as may be deemed expedient, but it shall in no case be less than six feet.

' Where drainage cannot be conveniently carried off by tho siilo ditches, it will be

J necessary to excavate otf-take ditches to a considerable distance beyond the limits of

X the Railway grounds. These otf-tako ditchc-f shall bo of such widihs and depths as

may bo required and directei by the Engineer. They shall bo sloped not steeper

than ono and a half horizontal to ono perpendicular, and the materials shall bo cast

out so as to leave a berm of H feet between the deposit and tho top of the slopes of

tho ditches. The Contractor shall also construct all other drains and ditches which

the Engineer may deem nocesstiry for tho perfect drainage of the railway and works;

•he shall also make all necessary divei-sious of roads and streams as directed by tho

£!ngiDeer.

TUNSELLINO.

25. The luririelliri^will coiiwist of "Line Tunnels" and "Stream Tunnels"; iho
former shall bo formud to an exact minimum soction iicconlin^ to drawing No. 9 and
the latter to drawing No. 10. For tlie jiurposo of tendering the heclional area of "Line
Tunnels" shall be calculated at 405 superficial feet, equal to 15 cubic yards to the
lineal foot of Tunnel. The " Stream Tunnels," where formed, shall be driven through
the solid rock which, in tome places, forms the sides of ravines, they must bo formed
in the manner to bo pointed out in e;ich case. 0,ten cuttings at the ends will be exca-
vated, to give an easy fli)W to tlie water; tho>e open cuttings may bo slightly curved,
but the Tunnels proper must be peifocll} straight from end to end, with the sides as
smooth as practicable. The up-stream end in each Tunnel must generally be one foot
lower than the bed of the stream oppo-iito, and they must be driven with a proper
inclination. Care must be taken to leave a solid pillar of rock between the Tunnel
and the side of the ravine, equal (except in special cases) to not less than about
double the diameter of the Tunnel. The thickness of solid rock over the Tunnel shall
be similarly proportioned.

26. Crib whar6ng will have to be resorted to at some points as noted on profile
according to general drawing No. 43.

27. Whenever the slopes of the embankments are liable to be washed by the over-
flow of streams, they will require to be protected by a rip-rap wall of stones carefully
laid by hand to such thickness and height as may be directed by the Engineer, gener-
ally about 18 in. above high water level.

28. Special attention is called to those long stretches of embankment to be made
on low lands subject to over-flow to a considerable depth. The slopes of those will
require to be protected with rock facing, the stones for which will have to bo quarried
and brought by train or by water from a considerable distance.

29. The slope of the embankment at Port Moody extends below water at high
tide and will have to be protected with rip-rap of large well formed stone laid by
hand.

30. At all public roadways, cattle-guai"ds will be established and will be construct-
ed according to drawing No. 13. The roadway between cattle-guards will be planked
and the public road properly graded and gravellei as far as the limitsof the Railway
right-of-way. Under this heading the bridging of side ditches, fences from cattle-
guards to the line fences of the Railway, also post and signboard, and everything
necessary to campleto the crossing, will bo embracoJ. The fences connecting cattle-
guards with right-of-way fences, will be post and board, or post and wire asperdraw-

must keep open at his own cost convenient passing places, and ho shall bo held res-
ponsible for keeping all crossings during the |»rogi-os8 of tho works in such condition

as will enable ilio public to u>-o them with peifoct safety, and such as will give rise
> to no just ground for complaint. Contractors will be held liable for any damages
resulting from negligence on their part or that of ihoir men.

Truss Bridges.

34. Tho Railway will in most cases be carried over the larger streams by wooden Bridges,
superstructures supported on abutments and piers, of timber framing, on pile founda-
tions. Tho pile foundation will, wherever practicable, be mado suitable for perma-
nent structures.

I 35. In some cases crib abutments and piers filled with stone may bo allowed. The Cribwork.
cribs must bo constructed in the most substantial manner of tamarac or other suit-
able limber; outside timbers to be not loss than 12 inches square, halved together at
he angles, and properly secured with drill bolts of iron ; tho ties may bo of flatted
imber, dovetailed into face timbers and bolted. Tho sloping faces of the cut
aters to piers must bo of square timber laid with one side in the lino of tho rake of
tho cut water, and be halved at angles; the faces of tho cut waters will be covered
i^ith hardwood timber 8 inches thick, well fastened to the cribwork with spikes or
^g-bolts. Tho whole of the abutments and piers to be finished in accordance with
jlans, and to tho satisfaction of the Engineer.

36. The superstructures will be of the most approved Howe or Pony Truss pattern, supersirao-
th© fornier built of Douglass fir of approved quality, with cast-ii'on or white oak keys, timber.
Cipt iron prisms and wiought iron roils with up-set ends, the whole to bo first-class

Serial and workmanship. The parts that are inaccessible after the structures are
ted, are to receive one good coat of paint of approved quality as soon as framed,
a^:a second coat when the work is put together. Drawings Nos. 20, 21, 22, 23 and
24 ire prepared to suit each span or bridge, and to which the Contractor must work.
Thtte bridges must be executed in a thoroughly substantial and workmanlike man-
ner, and shall be completed in every respect, including painting.

drawing. Each bent will bo composed of piles, as jIk-wu in the drawings. The piles
fehall bo of tamarac, Ponglas fir or other approved timber and of sufficient nizo at the
butt or larger end to pqunre not less thnn I'J in( hon, and for long piles 14 inches.
They must be perfect!}- f^ound and straight, Miwed or hewe<l to these dimcnsionB,
and be of such lengths iis circumstances may require. The piles must bo driven by
a hammer weighing 1,500 lbs. or upwards, until they roach perfectly firm ground.
They will generally be tested by the hammer falling 24 feet at the Inst blow under
which they should not yield more than two inches. Care must bo taken to have them
driven truly, so that the caps and braces mny be properly framed p^^ bolted to them.
The spur piles must be curve-pointed, so that «s they arc driven they will gradually
come to the proper inclination. Before being driven tho piles must bo sawed or
chopped off square at the butt, and tapered to a Munt point at the smaller end. Should
there appear to bo any danger of splitting, the bends must be bound with iron hoops,
and if necessary the points be properly shod. The stringers, which will be of
Douglas fir or other approved timber, must be bolted together and to the corbels and
caps. The stringers must be of sufficient length to reach over two spans, and break
joints alternately inside and out. The bank stringers will be 12 inches by 12 inches.
The whole to bo covered by special ties 9 inches by 8 inches.

alternately, and great cai'e must be taken in the arrangement of the joints so as to
give perfect bond.

49. Culvert Masonry shall be built of good, sound, large flatrbedded stones, laid in
horizontal beds. It may be known as Bandom, or broken coursed work. The stones
employed in this class of masonry will generally be not less in area of bed than threp
superficial feet, nor less in thick r ess than eight inches, and they must be dressed
so as to give good beds with halt-inch joints. In smaller structures, and in cases
where stones of good size and thickness cannot be had, they may, if in other res-
pects suitable, be admitted as thin as five inches. All stones must be laid on their
natural beds.

50. Headers shall bo built in the wall, from front and back alternately, at least one
in every five feet in line of wall, and frequently in the rise of wall. In the smallest
structures headers shall not be loss than twenty-four inches in length, and the mini
mum bed allowed for stretchers shall be twelve inches. In the larger structures all'
stones must be heavier in proportion. Every attention must be paid to produce a
perfect bond, and to give the whole a strong, neat, workmanlike finish.

51. Wing walls will generally be finished with steps, formed of sound durable
stone, and not less than from 10 to 12 inches *hick, and 6 feet superficial area; other
walls will be covered with coping of a similar thickness, and of seven feet or upwards,
superficial area. These coverings will be neatly dressed when required, and as may
be directed. The walls of the box culverts will be finished with stones the full thick-
ness of wall, and the covers will be from 10 to 15 inches thick, according to the span;
they must have a bearing of at least 12 inches on each wall, and they must be fitted
sufficiently close together to prevent the earth from falling through,

52. The bottoms of culverts will be paved with stones set on edge, to a moderately
even face, packed solid, the interstices being also well packed. The paving will be
from 9 to 12 inches deep.

53. Mortar shall be of hydraulic lime or cement, and common lime.

54. Hydraulic lime mortar will be used unless otherwise directed in building ail
masonry, from the foundations up to a line two feet above the oi-dinary level of ib
stream. It will bo used also in laying girder beds, coping, covering of wall;
generally, in lipping and in pointing. The hj'draulic lime or cement must be fics!

i lime to two parts of sand, but this may be varied according to the quality of the lime
I or cement. Mortar will be only made as required, and it must bo prepared and used
under the immediate direction and to the satisfaction of an Inspector, by the Con-
tractor's men, failing which the Inspector may employ other men to prepare the
[mortar, and any expense incurred thereby shall be borne by the Contractor. Grout
[shall bo formed by adding a suflScient quantity of water to well tempered and well
; proportioned mortar.

57. When mortar is used, every stone must be set in a full bed and beaten solid ; Grouting,
the vortical joints must be flushed up solid, and every course must be perfectly level

and thoroughly grouted.

58. In all walls built in common lime, the exposed faces will have a four-inch lip- Lipping,

fleft unfinished in the autumn must be properly protected during the winter by the
Contractor, at his risk and cost.

60. Eetaining wall (with a sharp batter on the face,) shall be built of dry ma- Retaining
sonry, and shall be formed of large well shaped stones hammered to form good beds,

and carefully laid to bond as in bridge masonry, but without mortar.

Foundations.

61. Foundation pits must bo sunk to such depths as the Engineer may deem Depths of
jropor for the safety and permanency of the structure to bo orectod ; they must in all

aases be sunk to such depths as will prevent the structures being acted on by the frost,

lirects otherwise.

Artificial Foundations.

62. Foundation timbers where required will be of such dimensions and of such Timber.
Inds as the Engineer may direct. The timber employed will be tamarac, hemlock,
line or Douglass fir from 3 to 6 inches thick or timber flatted on two sides only, and

ranging from (5 inches to 12 inches thick. The faces of the flatted timber will at
liast measure as much as its thickness, and the bark will be removed from the sides
not flatted. .

63. All spikes, bolts, straps or other iron work found necessary to be used on j^^
tlmbor fouudalious, muat be of the best quality of iron usually employed for similar
purposes.

every respect sound and of such description as he may approve. Where he may
think it necessary trial piles shall first be driven.

65. The piles ^hall be carefully and truly pointed, shod and hooped with iron as
may be directed. They shall be driven to any depth the Engineer may deem expe-
dient, and the weight of the hammer shall be 1,500 lbs. or upwards. They will
generally be tested by the hammer falling 24 feet at the last blow, under which they
shall not yield over 2 inches. The greatest care must bo taken to drive the piles
plumb or battered in such position and distances apart as are shown on the plan and
as he may direct ; any pile that may be damaged or too short or out of proper line
when driven shall be taken up and replaced by another; the heads of the piles must
not be injured in driving.

66. Whenever concrete is employed, it will be composed of hydraulic lime, clean
sharp sand, and good gravel of approved quality and proportions. The proportion of
sand and lime will be about the same as in mortar, and in making the concrete a
sufficient quantity will be used with the gravel to fill up the interstices and render
the mass when set perfectly solid and oorapact.

Track.

6T. Before track-laying and ballasting is commenced, the Contractor will fill np
with dry material all hollows and whoel ruts in the road bed arising from settlement,
or from being used as temporary roads by the Contractor, or other causes, and trim

77. The points, crossings, switches and signals are to be well and truly made of Points and
the best materials of their several kinds in accordance with the drawings Nos. 38 and

39 ; the points and crossings may be made out of the steel rails supplied by the Min-
ister of Bailways and Canals.

78. The rails shall be laid to a gauge of 4 feet 8^ in. clear between the rails, and Gauge,
they shall be well and carefully fastened at the joints, which must bo as near as pos-
sible opposite each other and on the same tie; special care must be taken at points

and crossings to have the rails laid to a tight gauge. The rails must be full spiked,
and on carves the outer rail shall be elevated according to the degree of curvature as
follows, that is to say, on one degree curves 0'05 feet, on two degree curves 0-10 feet. Curves.
on three degree curves 0*15 feet, on four degree curves 0*20 feet, on five degree curves
0*25 feet, on six degree curves 0*30 feet. The rails shall be handled with care, and

butt or larger end to square not less than 12 to 14 inches and not less than 10 inches
in diameter at the small end. They must be perfectly sound and straight, and
be of such lengths as circumstances may require. The piles must be driven
by a hammer weighing 1,500 lbs. or upwards, until they reach perfectly firm
ground. They will generally be tested by the hammer falling 24 feet at the
last blow, under which they should not yield more than 2 inches. Care must be
taken to have them driven truly, so that the caps and braces may be properly framed
and bolted to them. The spur piles must be curve-pointed, so that as they are driven
they will gradually come to the proper inclination. Before being driven the piles
must be sawed or hewed to these dimensions, chopj: ,d off square at the butt, and
tapered to a blunt point at the smaller end. Should there appear to be any danger
of splitting, the beads must be bound with iron hoops, and if necessary the points be
properly shod. The stringei-s which will be of Douglas fir or other approved timber,
must be bolted together and to the corbels and caps. The stringers must be of suffi-
cient length to reach over two spans, and break joints alternately inside and out.
The whole will be covered as shown in the plan, and well spiked down.
