<p n="501">The present charged and part of the method of working<lb></lb>
on the said Roads are, that every Cart is paid Ten shillings<lb></lb>
a day and is attended by two Persons the one to fill the Cart<lb></lb>
and the other to drive And he that fills is unemployed<lb></lb>
till the return of the Cart, It is therefore Ordered that<lb></lb>
a convenient Number of Labourers be employed to fill<lb></lb>
all the Carts belonging to the work and that each Cart<lb></lb>
be attended only by one Person to drive it, whereby much<lb></lb>
Money will be Saved in Carriage; For when one Man if<lb></lb>
taken away from each Cart it may work for Nine<lb></lb>
Shillings a day or less and the work may be better<lb></lb>
done.</p>
<p n="502">Another part of the method of working is to allow<lb></lb>
five Loads at most to be a sufficient days work for<lb></lb>
each Cart altho' in many places the distances<lb></lb>
between the Loading and unloading are so Short<lb></lb>
that each Cart may with much ease carry many<lb></lb>
more, It is therefore Ordered that the Surveyors<lb></lb>
take care that each Cart every day it is employed<lb></lb>
carry as many Loads as is reasonable.</p>
<p n="503">That no Teams work in the Winter Season, but<lb></lb>
in Cases of necessity, because they are not able to do<lb></lb>
above half a days work.</p>
<p n="504">Many inconveniencies may arise from the present<lb></lb>
method of suffering Farmers to be Surveyors, And in<lb></lb>
Case any Farmer shall be employed in such Office<lb></lb>
hereafter; It is Ordered That neither he nor any<lb></lb>
other Surveyor be suffered to work his own Teams<lb></lb>
for the Repair of the Roads belonging to the<lb></lb>
Turnpike.</p>
<p n="505">That no Forreigners be suffered to work their<lb></lb>
Teams on the Roads and that only such Farmers as<lb></lb>
are chargeable to the Highways in the severall<lb></lb>
Parishes within the Turnpikes be employed in or</p>
