Superintendent transmitted through the Chief Engineer or the 

 Division Engineers. 



No work affecting the safety or regularity of trains must be 

 undertaken without previously notifying the Superintendent 

 of the Division upon which the work is to be performed, and 

 the subsequent execution of the work must conform to the 

 orders, rules and regulations established by the Superintendent 

 to insure safety. 



All necessary track or bridge work in connection with such 

 work will be performed by the division force, under the in- 

 structions of the Superintendent or his roadmasters or bridge 

 foremen. 



Salaries and wages of special forces employed under the 

 direction of an engineer, unless specially excepted, will be 

 carried on the Superintendent's rolls, the engineer making 

 time returns in the manner prescribed by the standard rules 

 in force on the Division. 



Before the beginning of each season's work Assistant Engi- 

 neers will be furnished ^with a list of the various improve- 

 ments authorized. The iimits within which track laying and 

 ballasting are to be prosecuted should be ascertained in ad- 

 vance and levels run over such sections and profiles sent to 

 the Division Engineer, plotted to a double vertical and single 

 horizontal scale. The Division Engineer will locate the proper 

 ballast grade line and Assistant Engineers will compute quan- 

 tities in cubic yards of material required for bank widening, 

 raising sags and ballast. 



At the close of each season's work Assistant Engineers will 

 furnish a detailed report of the various improvements com- 

 pleted, giving full notes and sketches wherever necessary.

THEORY. 



"Engineering is the art of making a dollar earn the most 

 interest." 



A railway is a commercial enterprise and is constructed 

 solely for profit.
