<p n="447">the same This Court is of Opinion that the Trustees have not<lb></lb>
answered the matters Contained in the said Report, But<lb></lb>
that the said Answer is evasive and insufficinent, And this<lb></lb>
Court doth ratify and confirm the said Report of the said<lb></lb>
Justices of the Peace, And for preventing the like<lb></lb>
inconveniencys and abuses mentioned in the said<lb></lb>
Report for the future doth by vertue of the power given by the said Act Order as followeth</p>
<p n="448">That there be Twenty five Bushell of Ballast measured and<lb></lb>
put into every Cart that is employed on the Road and when<lb></lb>
the Cart is filled let the head Board Tail Board and Side<lb></lb>
Board be markt just above the Ballast with such a mark<lb></lb>
as shall be thought proper And that no Cart be suffered to<lb></lb>
Work that is not to markt. So that after the Carts are<lb></lb>
markt they may be filled without fraud</p>
<p n="449">Every Cart that is employed is paid Ten Shillings a day and<lb></lb>
should have two men to attend the Cart one to fill and the<lb></lb>
other to drive. So that he that is employed to fill must<lb></lb>
Stand Still till the return of the Cart. Therefore let Labourers<lb></lb>
be employed to fill the Carts thereby much would be saved<lb></lb>
for the Carts having but one Man may Work for Nine<lb></lb>
Shillings a day or less and the Work better done</p>
<p n="450">Care should be taken by the surveyors that each Cart<lb></lb>
carried as many Load within the time appointed as was<lb></lb>
reasonable. Whereas now the Course is to reckon five<lb></lb>
Load at most within the days Work where in many<lb></lb>
cases the distances being short the same Carts might<lb></lb>
with ease carry many more</p>
<p n="451">No Teams ought to work in Winter time but in Case of<lb></lb>
necessity because it is plain they are not able to do<lb></lb>
above half a days Work</p>
<p n="452">That no farmer be a Surveyor or if it be thought proper<lb></lb>
to make a Farmer a Surveyor that no Surveyor be<lb></lb>
suffered to Work his own Teams</p>
<p n="453">That no foreigners ought to be suffered to Work their Teams<lb></lb>
on the Roads and that only such Farmers that are chargeable<lb></lb>
to the Highways in the several parishes<lb></lb>
within the Turnpikes ought to be employed</p>
