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 line at stations, fur a length ofi":i,000 ieot,.or suoli -othar. dimension as may bo 53iOJ^ P385.1 C 11 A Close cutting.

The 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.
