<p n="428">THAT there be Twenty Five Bushels of Ballast measured and puts into every Cart that is employed on the Roads; and when the Cart is filled, That the<lb></lb>
Head-board, Tail-board, and Side-board be marked just above the Ballast (so that after the Carts are marked they may be filled without Fraud) And that no<lb></lb>
Cart be suffered to work that is not so marked.</p>
<p n="429">THE present Charge and part of the Method of working on the said Roads are, that every Cart is paid Ten Shillings a Day, and is attended by two Persons,<lb></lb>
the one to fill the Cart, and the other do drive, and he that fills is un-employed till the Return of the Cart. It is Therefore Ordered that a Convenient Number of<lb></lb>
Labourers be employed to fill all the Carts belonging to the Work, an that each Cart be attended only by one Person to drive it whereby much Money will be<lb></lb>
saved in Carriage; for when one Man is taken away from each Cart it may work for Nine Shillings a Day or less, and the Work may be better done.</p>
<p n="430">ANOTHER Part of the Method of working, is to allow five Loads at most be a sufficient Days Work for each Cart, altho' in many Places the Distances be<lb></lb>
tween the Loading and Unloading are so short, that each Cart may with much Ease carry, may more: It is therefore Ordered, That the Surveyors take Care that each<lb></lb>
cart every Day it is employed, carry as many Loads as is reasonable.</p>
<p n="431">THAT no Teams work in the Whiter Seasons butter Cases of Necessity, because they are not able to do above half a Days Work.</p>
<p n="432">MANY Inconveniencies may arise from the present Method of suffering Farmers to be Surveyors; And in Case any Farmer shall be employed in such Office here<lb></lb>
after, It is Ordered, That neither he nor any other Surveyor be suffered to work his own Teams for the Repair for the Repair of the Roads belonging to the Turnpike.</p>
<p n="433">THAT no Foreigners be suffered to work their Teams on the Roads and that only such Farmers as are chargeable to the Highwasys in the Several Parishes within<lb></lb>
the Turnpikes, be employed in or about repairing the same, unless it uppen that there are not farmers sufficient to be found on the Roads, or that such Farmers re<lb></lb>
fuse to work as cheap as Foreigners, for it is but reasonable that as they may to the Turnpike, they should be prefered before Foreigners.</p>
