the view of having a branch line ; should they fail to come to an agreement, the 
Prefect will decide as to the demand made, after having heard the statement of 
the holder of the concession. 
Branch lines will be constructed at the expense of the owners of the 
mines, works, or farms ; and in such a manner that their construction shall not 
give rise to any impediment to the general circulation or traffic, to any destruc- 
tive action to the stock, nor to any special expenses to the company. 
They must be kept in good repair at the expense of the owners and under 
the control of the Prefect. The holder of the concession will have the right of 
inspecting by his agents the state of such branch lines, as well as that of his 
rolling stock on the same. 
The Prefect may at all times prescribe such alterations as may be considered 
useful in respect to the junctions with, and the laying out and construction of the 
said branch lines, and such changes will be made at the expense of the owners. 
The Prefect may, even after hearing the opinion of the owners, order that 
the junction switches be temporarily taken up, in case the works thus 
connected with the main line should suspend partially or entirely the carriage 
of their goods by the railway. 
The holder of the concession will be bound to send his waggons on all the 
authorised branch lines ddstiued to put mines and works in communication 
with the main line of railway. 
The holder of the concession will bring his waggons to the head of the 
branch lines. 
The senders or receivers will run the waggons in their works for the 
purpose of loading and unloading, and bring them back to the junction with 
the main line, all at their own expense. 
These waggons may only be used for the carriage of articles and goods 
destined for the main line of railway. 
The time during which the waggons may remain on the private 'branch 
lines shall not exceed six hours when the branch line is not more than one 
kilometre long. This time will be augmented one half-hour for each kilometre, 
exclusive of the hours at night-time, from sunset to sunrise. 
In case these limits of time are exceeded, after a special notification being 
given by the holder of the concession, he may claim an indemnity equal in 
value to the hire of the waggons for each period of delay after the notification. 
The salaries of the employes of these branch lines authorised by the Prefect 
will be paid by the owners of the branch lines. These employes will be 
named and paid by the holder of the concession, and the expenses arising 
therefrom will be reimbursed to him by the said owners. 
In the case of any misunderstanding, the case will be decided by the Admi- 
nistration, after hearing the statement of the holder of the concession. 
The owners of the branch lines will be responsible for any injuries to the 
rolling stock whilst it is running or remaining on their lines. 
In case of the non-execution of one or several of the conditions as above laid 
down, the Prefect may on the complaint of the holder of the concession, and 
after having heard the owner of the branch line, make out an order for 
suspending the service and for suppressing the junction, with the option of a 
recourse to the superior Administration, and without prejudicing the right of 
claiming damages which the holder of the concession may enforce for the non- 
execution of these clauses.
