81. Nothing in this Ordinance shall limit the powers of the police to regulate the passage of any traffic along or across any public road along or across which the tramway is laid down, and the police may exercise their powers as well on as off the tramway, and with respect as well to the traffic of the company as to the traffic of other persons, and in particular nothing in this Ordinance shall limit the power of the Captain Superintendent of Police under any Ordinance to make regulations with reference to traffic.
82. Nothing in this Ordinance shall take away or abridge the right of the public to pass along or across every or any part of any public road along or across which the tramway is laid, whether on or off the tramway, with carriages, cars, or vehicles not having flange-wheels suitable only to run ou the rail of the tramway.

I. Any dynamo used as a generator shall be of such pattern and con- struction as to be capable of producing a continuous current withont appreciable pulsation.
2. One of the two conductors used for transmitting energy from the generator to the notors shall be in every case insulated from earth, and is hereinafter referred to as the "line"; the other may be insulated throughout, or may be uninsulated in such parts and to such extent as is provided in the following rules, and is bereinafter referred to as the
return ".
3. Where any rails, on which cars run, or any conductors laid between or within three feet of such rails, form auy part of a return such part may be uninsulated. All other returns or parts of a return shall be insulated, unless of such sectional area as will reduce the difference of potential between the ends of the uninsulated portion of the return below the limit laid down in rule 7.
4. When any uninsulated conductor laid between or within three feet of the rails forms any part of a return, it shall be electrically connected to the rails at distances apart not exceeding one hundred feet by means of copper strips having a sectional area of at least one-sixteenth of a square inch, or by other means of equal conductivity.
5. When any part of a return is uninsulated, it shall be connected with the negative terminal of the generator, and in such case the negative terminal of the generator shall also be directly connected, through the current indicator hereinafter mentioned, to two separate earth counexions which shall be placed not less than twenty yards apart: Provided that in place of such two earth connexions the company may make one connexion to a main for water supply of not less than three inches internal diameter, with the consent of the owner thereof and of the person supplying the water, and provided that where, from the nature of the soil or for other reasons, the company can show to the satisfaction of an inspecting officer of the Government that the earth connexions berein specified cannot be constructed and maintained without undue expense, the provisions of this rule shall not apply. The earth connexions referred to in this rule shali be constructed, laid, and maintained so as to secure electrical contact with the general mass of earth, and so that an electro-motive force, not exceeding four volts, shall suffice to produce a current of at least two amperes from one carth connexion to the other through the earth, and a test shall be made at least once in every month to ascertain whether this requirement is complied with. No portion of either earth connexion shall be placed within six feet of any pipe except a main for water supply of not less than three inches interual diameter which is metallically connected to the earth connexions with the consents hereinbefore specified,
6. When the return is partly or eutirely uninsulated the company shall in the construction and maintenance of the tramway-(a) so separate the uninsulated return from the general mass of earth, and from any pipe in the vicinity() so connect together the several lengths of the rails : (c) adopt such means for reducing the difference produced by the current between the potential of the uninsulated return at any other point and (d) so maintain the efficiency of the earth connexions specified in the preceding rules, as to fulfil the following conditions, viz. :—
