CONDUCT AND SUPERVISION OP WORK. 



60. Engineer. Wherever the word "Engineer" is used in these specifications it 

 refers to the United States Engineer Officer in charge of the work, or to his authorized 

 agents acting under his directions. 



61. Order and Inspection of Work. The Engineer shall have power to prescribe 

 the order and manner of executing the work in all its parts, and work not ordered by 

 him will not be paid for. The work will be laid out and inspected by the local Engineer, 

 or his authorized assistants, and he and such assistants shall have power to reject 

 materials and work which in their judgment do not conform to the specifications and 

 drawings. Any materials so rejected shall at once be removed by the contractor from 

 the United States property, and any work rejected shall be at once taken out and satis- 

 factorily replaced, and no estimate or payment will be made until such materials or 

 work shall have been so removed. In all cases of dispute upon matters relating to the 

 work, the local Engineer shall have power to overrule the decisions of his inspectors, 

 but the decision of the United States Engineer Officer will be accepted as final and 

 without appeal. 



62. Stakes and Templets. The contractor must conform and keep to the lines 

 and levels for the work given by the Engineer, and all stakes, benches, etc., after being 

 placed must be protected and kept in position by the contractor, or, if necessary to the 

 progress of the work, must be moved to new positions under the direction of the Engineer, 

 without cost to the United States. The contractor shall furnish, at his own expense, 

 the stakes required to lay out the work, as well as the labor required to set them. He 

 will also be required to furnish to the satisfaction of the Engineer, and without cost 

 to the United States, all templets, scaffolds, and platforms that may be required in 

 cutting, setting, or laying out any part of the work, and all needed facilities and assist- 

 ance, including skiffs or boats, labor, tools, appliances, and materials of all kinds, except
