Drawings to show, 1st, the natural surface of the ground; 2d, the longitudinal inclinations of the proposed road; 3d, the slopes of the cuttings and embankments ; 4th, the form of the bed of the road, and footpath ; and 5th, the courses of materials to be laid on, and the thickness of each course. Drawings should also be made, describing the plans of the bridges, culverts, cross drains, inlets, outlets, depdts, and fences which are required to be made. II. A specification should be pre- pared, to explain in detail the precise method of executing every part of the work. III. After the specification has been settled, an estimate should be made of the expense to be incurred. IV. Next a contract is to be entered into, which, if the plans, specifications, &c. have been properly made, will be found the most safe and satisfactory mode of execution. Select a contractor of skill, integrity, and capital, and rather overpay than underpay him. V. In preparing a deed of contract, refer to the drawings and specifications, and provide a clause to prevent all devi- ations from them
