 the case may require, but no deviation whatever shall be made except 

 upon the surveyor's written order. 



6. Suspension of works. The council by their surveyor shall have full 

 power to suspend the works, or any part thereof, at any time should it be

 contractor by reason thereof, but the time during which the works or 

 part thereof may be so suspended shall be allowed to the contractor in 

 computing the time of completion of the contract. 



7. Subletting. None of the works shall be sublet without the written 

 consent of the council thereto, and no drain or other work is to be covered 

 until the same has been inspected and approved by the surveyor or his 

 authorised assistant.

8. Bad materials. Should any materials be brought on to, or used on, 

 the works, or any workmanship be executed, which the council by their 

 surveyor may deem to be of inferior quality, or otherwise improper, the 

 same shall be removed, altered, or amended as the case may require, 

 within twenty- four hours after the receipt of a written notice, or order, 

 from the surveyor to that effect, failing which, the surveyor shall be at 

 liberty to remove, alter, or amend the same as the case may require at 

 the expense of the contractor. 



9. Weekly statement of extras. The contractor shall furnish the council 

 with a weekly statement in writing of any extras that may arise, but 

 none whatever will be allowed except the same be ordered as hereinbefore 

 mentioned and be duly furnished in accordance with these provisions. 



10. Contractor to give all proper notices, The contractor shall give all 

 requisite notices to companies or persons to whom notice should be given,

 excavations, works, materials, or things and shall not obstruct the free 

 entrance to any house or premises in or near to the aforesaid 



and shall provide as far as practicable for the passage of vehicular traffic 

 through, or along during the progress of the works.
