Each elector may vote only at one polling station and for only one candidate.
The elector will go into one of the compartments and with a black lead pencil
there provided place a crgss within the white space containing the name of the
candidate for whom he votes, thus X.
The elector shall then fold the ballot paper so that the initials of the presiding
officer and the numbers on the counterfoll can be seen and the counterfoil de-
tached without opening the ballot paper; he shall then return the ballot pa er so
folded to the Presiding Officer who shall in full view of those present, incfuding
the elector, remove the counterfoil, destroy the same and lace the ballot paper in
the ballot box. The elector shall then forthwith quit the poiing station.
If an elector inadvertently spoils a ballot paper he may return it to the Pre-
siding Oflicer who on being satisfied of the fact will give him another.
If an elector votes for more than one candidate or places any mark on the
ballot paper by which he can afterwards be identified his vote will be void and
will not be counted.
In .the following form of ballot aper given for illustration the candidates are
William Carib, Frank Patou and ~ o R nShark and the elector has marked his ballot
paper in favour of Frank Patou.

5. The Superintendent shall exercise all possible vigilance to detect any


encroachments or threatened encroachments on the roads, and shall at
the earliest possible opportunity warn any person or persons so
encroaching or attempting to encroach to desist. He shall at once
report any such case to the Council, and submit a notice (in duplicate)
to be served on the proper party, unless the warning previously given
by him shall have been complied with.

6. All works shall so far as possible be done by contract, or piece


work or task work. Day labour shall only be resorted to in cases where

task, or where it is not possible to get the work taken up at reasonable
prices.

7. The Superintendent shall make inspection of the entire length of


every drivable road, and of every building and work in his parish at
least once in every six months or at such longer interval as the Council
may approve and note in his diary the date of visit, condition of such
road, building or work, actual work done by him and his recommenda-
tion and remarks thereon and report to the Council. He shall also from
time to time report to the Council any repairs, additions or alterations
not already authorized which he may consider necessary to any such
road, building or work, with an approximate estimate of the cost
thereof.

10. The Superintendent shall keep or cause to be kept in a separate


book, or on a separate sheet, the cost of each work in progress in the
same detail as the authorized estimate of such work so that a comparison
of the two may, at any time be readily made and he shall, also from time
to time, make, or cause to be made an estimate of the cost of
completing such work, and he shall without delay report to the Council
any deviation from the authorized estimate which may appear likely
to arise from necessary additional and unforeseen work, or from the

the price of materials or workmanship or any other cause and when
reporting completion of the work he shall supply the actual cost giving
details of materials used, etc.
