(2) The tramway authorized by this Ordinance is a partly single and partly double line, commencing on the south side of the south-west boundary of the War Department land at its junction with Garden Road, thence passing in a southerly direction up the hillside to Victoria Gap, crossing over Kennedy and Plantation Roads by means of bridges, and terminating at Victoria Gap, at a point on the north side of Farm Lot No. 53:
Provided that such alterations as the company may think fit may be made in the position of the rail-tracks of the tramway as shown on the plan thereof deposited by the company in the Public Works Office, so long as they are within the limits of deviation shown on the said plan.
4. Subject to the approval of the Governor in Council, the company may alter the levels of the ground on which the tramway is laid, make and construct all necessary cuttings and embankments, bridges, viaducts, culverts, catch-water drains, and other works, and divert streams: Provided always that the earth excavated and thrown to waste is disposed of in such manner as to prevent its being washed down by rain into the harbour.
5. Subject to the approval of the Governor in Council, after timely and adequate notification by public advertisement or otherwise of the intention of the company to apply for such approval, the company may construct and maintain, subject to the provisions of this Ordinance and in accordance with plans to be previously deposited in the Public Works Office, all such crossings, passing places, sidings, junctions, turn-tables, and other works in addition to those particularly specified in and authorized by this Ordinance as may be approved by the Governor in Council, and may work and use the same.
6. The tramway shall be constructed on exceeding five feet in width, and with steel rails, which shall, a gauge not before being laid down, be approved by the Director of Public Works.
