| Resolved, that in the opinion the
interests of the Company requires a more strict personal supervision
of the practical operations of repairing the Roadway and to effect
that, the Road between Greenwood and Richmond shall be divided into
two sections under the advice of the Superintendent, one of which
for that purpose shall be under the principal Road Master and the
other under the assistant each of whom shall go over their section
in a Hand Car once in two weeks and report to the Superintendent
once in four weeks such detailed information as he may require who
shall report to the Board. |
| Resolved, that the assistant Engineer be
required to inspect and report in like manner, the Road from
Greenwood to Jackson's River |
| Resolved, that with reference to the
difficulty of keeping labour enough to sustain the Road with fuel
and timber, and keeping up the track, the most constant personal
presence of all managers of hands is expected, so as to have the
work done with as few hands as possible, and the Road Master and his
assistant be expected to see that this order is strictly attended
to. |
