1. The measurement book is the basis of all accounts of quantities, whether of work done by daily labour or by the piece or by contract, or of materials used which have to counted or measured, and should be so kept up that the transactions may be readily traceable into the accounts by the entry of the number and date of bill in this book, when the bill has been prepared, and the entry of the number and page of the measurement book on the bill. The measurements affected should then be cancelled by cross red lines being drawn across the page or pages.
2. All measurements are to be neatly taken down in this book and in no other. The description of the situation of work must be lucid, so as to admit of easy identification and check. No entries shall be made in pencil.
3. No erasures are allowed. If a mistake is made, it should be corrected by drawing the pen through the incorrect entry and inserting the correct one in red ink between the lines. Every such correction should be initialled.
4. For large works a separate measurement book may be specially set apart, or if found convenient, even two or more books may be set apart for different classes of works.
5. The measurement book must be looked upon as important record; they should be carefully checked by the Chief Officer, Secretary or Engineer to see that they are kept up as complete records of each kind of work done for which certificates have been granted. The eventual return of all books to the Trust office for record should be insisted upon.
6. The measurement book should be written up from beginning to end and no pages should be left blank.
7. Before detailing the measurements relating to a work the following information should invariably be given at the top of the first page of such measurement:-
8. In all cases where previous measurements of any particular work have been made a reference to the page on which the last of such measurements is recorded should be made opposite the new measurement.
9. For facility of reference and to assist in carrying out the instructions given in paragraph 6 above, an index has been provided for.
