SURVEYS. 25 



Division Engineer, but will consult freely with the Assistant 

 Engineer in charge of the line, and will make all agreements 

 as to fences, cattle guards, road crossings, ditches, etc., sub- 

 ject to his approval. 



The description of irregular tracts which are acquired by 

 the company will be by metes and bounds, obtained by actual 

 survey. The description of right of way through government 

 subdivisions will be made in the following form: 



A strip, piece or parcel of land one hundred feet in width, 

 situated in the northwest quarter of the northwest quarter of 

 section 10, in township two north, range one west (S. 10, T. 2 

 N. R. 1 W.), Madison county, Montana, and having for its 

 boundaries two lines that are parallel with and equidistant 



from the center line of the railroad of the 



Railway Company, as the same is now located (and con- 

 structed). For a more particular description, reference may be 

 had to the plat drawn upon and made a part of this deed. 



The description of lots in platted tracts should be in the 

 following form: 



Lot seven (7), block six (6), in Smith's addition to Helena, 

 Lewis and Clarke county, Montana, according to the recorded 

 plat thereof. 



All plats drawn upon deeds should give ties to the govern- 

 ment survey points or to some fixed and indestructible points, 

 so that the land can be located from the description and the 

 plat. 



As soon as the right of way has been definitely secured, 

 plats of the same will be prepared in Division Engineer's 

 office, conforming to standard scale and plan furnished by 

 Chief Engineer, to whom they will be forwarded when com- 

 pleted, accompanied by the deeds. 



ESTIMATES. 



A careful estimate must be made showing the probable cost 

 of every located line and of every structure or special work 

 upon which a report is ordered. Great precaution must be 

 taken to include everything necessary to complete the work 

 ready for operation or use. This applies to work to be done by 

 both the Construction and the Engineering Departments.
