24 SURVEYS. 



Track profiles must be prepared in all cases when neces- 

 sary for the guidance of the contractor, showing, in addition 

 to the ordinary alinement notes of the profile, the number and 

 length of rails to each tangent, the number of long and short 

 rails in each curve, and the ordinates to which they are to be 

 curved. 



Field books must indicate each day's work, giving date. 

 The fly leaf of each book must show in ink the name of the 

 branch or division, nature of survey, kind of notes, name of 

 engineer, name of instrumentman, or topographer, and the 

 terminal points contained in the book. See that all subjects 

 contained therein are properly indexed and that all notes of 

 adopted or abandoned lines are properly marked as such. 

 Have notes so plain that they may be understood by any one. 



The original field notes should be sent in to the general 

 office when the survey is completed. In case the original notes 

 are not in good condition have them copied in new book, giv- 

 ing a revised and complete record of alinement, levels, topog- 

 raphy, right of way notes, and other data pertaining to the

 fall of streams, and other data of future value. These diaries 

 must be returned to the Assistant Engineer at the close of the 

 work. 



RIGHT OF WAY. 



As soon as the construction of a line has been ordered the 

 Division Engineer will issue the necessary instructions for 

 securing the right of way, which will be uniformly 100 ft. 

 in width, except where additional land is required for station 

 grounds, borrow pits, wide slopes, or other purposes. 



The right of way should be secured as rapidly as possible, 

 contracts for same being taken and forwarded immediately to 

 Division Engineer's office, where deeds and vouchers will be 

 made. 



The right of way agent will be under the orders of the
