From the measurement book all quantities should be clearly traceable in the documents on which payments are made. When a bill is prepared for the work or supplies measured, every page containing the detailed measurement must invariably be scored out by a diagonal red ink line, and when the payment is made an endorsement must be made, in red ink, on the abstract of measurement, giving a reference to the number and date of the voucher of payment.The documents on which payment is made should invariably show, in the space provided for the purpose, the number, and page of the measurement book in which the detailed measurements are recorded, and the date on which the measurement was made.
