The Municipality of Karachi (hereinafter called the Municipality) agrees to sell and the Trustee of  \r\nthe Port of Karachi (hereinafter called the Trustees) agree to purchase at or for the price of Rs. (18.054 -5-0) \r\neighteen thousand and fifty-four and annas five only, to be paid as hereinafter mentioned, all that eight-inch water \r\nmain now laid an extending from the Currie Reservoir to the Travellers' Bungalow at the junction of Preedy and \r\nBunder Roads and all the iron piping connections and all appurtenances to the said main belonging or appertaining \r\nthereto. \r\n \r\n2.  The Trustees shall lay a six -inch main from the point where the said eight -inch main terminates, \r\njoining up one with the other, and carry such six-inch main along the Bunder Road as far as the Merewether Clock \r\nTower then across the road into the Port Trust Import Yard along the cart road in front of the  Platform Sheds \r\njoining the Bunder Road after passing the Custom House on its south side and along the Napier Mole Road to \r\nany such point or points at Keamari as the Trustees may now or at any time hereafter deem necessary or expedient. \r\n \r\n3. The Trustees shall be at liberty to open up all roads along which the said six-inch main is to be laid \r\nto such depth or width as may be reasonably necessary, provided always that any road or portion of road so opened \r\nup shall be closed and restored to its original condit ion as soon as the main has been laid and provided also that \r\nthe Trustees shall fence the road so opened and take all the necessary precautions to avoid injury etc., to passengers \r\nand vehicular traffic. The work of laying the main shall, when commenced, co ntinue without interruption until \r\ncompletion. \r\n \r\n4.  The pipe shall wherever practicable, be laid at such a depth below the surface of the road that there \r\nshall be at least two feet of filling over every portion of the same. \r\n \r\n5.  During the construction of the main the Engineer of the Municipality shall at all times have access \r\nto the works for the purpose of satisfying the Municipality that the laying of the pipes is being satisfactory carried \r\nout. \r\n \r\n6.  The Trustees shall pay to the Municipality the said sum  of Rs. 18.054-5-0 herein agreed to be paid \r\none the completion of the six-inch main and when the new 6 annas rate comes into force. \r\n \r\n7. During the continuance of this agreement the whole of the said main from the Currie Reservoir to   \r\nKeamari shall be the exclusive property of the Trustees, and the Trustees shall maintain and keep the same in \r\nproper repair and do all renewals add other works necessary for the proper unkeep of the line in such a manner \r\nthat whenever, during the continuance of this agreement and under the terms thereof or when on the expiration of \r\n30 years the line is taken over by the Municipality it shall be in a thoroughly good and satisfactory condition to \r\nfulfil at that time the functions for which it was originally laid. The Port Trust in fact agree to hand over the main \r\nin the same satisfactory conditions as the Municipality would reasonably be expected to have maintained had it \r\nbeen their own property. That in case of any dispute between the Municipality and the Port Trust as to the \r\nsatisfactory condition of the pipes at the time they are taken over by the Municipality, the dispute shall be referred \r\nto the Commissioner in Sind for final decision. \r\n \r\n \r\n1Schedule D was inserted by s. 31 of the Karachi Port Trust (Amendment) Act, 1902 (Bom. Act II of 1902). \r\n2This reference is to the section as originally in ibid, s. 15 and not to the existing section of the Act. \r\n \r\n1886: Bom.

The Trustees shall be at liberty at any time hereafter and from time to time, on giving one clear day's \r\nnotice to the Municipality, to take up the road at any point between the Currie Reservoir and Keamari as may, in \r\nthe opinion of their engineer, be necessary for examining or repa iring any pipe or joint, or for laying any branch \r\npipes, the Trustees in all cases restoring the road to its original condition so soon as the work is completed.  \r\n \r\n9. So long as this agreement shall remain in force the said main shall be used by the Trustees for the \r\nfollowing purposes only, that is to say, for the work of the Port Trust and for the supply of water to ships and to \r\nManora through the Port Trust, and no branches shall be taken from the said main for the supply of water to any \r\nperson or persons or for any purpose except by the Trustees and for Port Trust proposes or for the supply of water \r\nto the shipping and to Manora through the Port Trust provided that, if at any time the supply of water by the \r\nMunicipality at Keamari shall be found to be insufficient for railway requirements, then water supplied to \r\nlocomotives engaged on Port Trust work shall be considered as supplies for Port Trust purposes.  \r\n \r\n10. All water shall, on passing through the junction between the said eight -inch main and the said six-\r\ninch main be measured by a meter to be supplied fitted and maintained in proper working order by the Trustees \r\nprovided the said meter is off the main road. The said meter shall be of a pattern approved of jointly by the Port \r\nTrust and Municipal Engineers. In the event of either the Port Trust or the Municipality being uncertain as to the \r\naccuracy of the meter adopted either party may put in a second meter on any portion of the six or eight-inch main \r\nin order to test the accuracy of the first. The meter to be kept under two independent lock. and keys, so that neither \r\nthe Port Trust nor the Municipal representative can inspect the meter independently.  \r\n \r\n11.

The valve communicating between the Currie Reservoir and the said main shall be always kept \r\nopen, except when for the purposes of cleaning or repairing the Reservoir or for some similar purpose or when it \r\nbe necessary under extraordinary circumstances in the interest of the public to restrict the supply it be absolutely \r\nnecessary that it be closed but before so closing it the Municipality shall give at least 24 hours’ notice to the \r\nTrustees of their intention so to do. In the event of any difference of opin ion between the Port Trust and the \r\nMunicipality as to weather it is necessary in the interests of the public to close the valve, the question shall be \r\nreferred to the Commissioner in Sind, whose decision shall be final on the point, but the valve shall in such case \r\nnot be closed until the Commissioner in Sind's decision is given. \r\n \r\n14. During the continuance of this agreement the Municipality shall not make any connection or branch \r\nto or from any part of the said main, nor shall the Municipality do or suffer to be done anything whereby the said \r\nmain or any part thereof shall be injured or exposed to injury, or whereby the free flow of water from the Currie \r\nReservoir (subject to the provision made in clause 13) into and through the whole length of the said mai n to \r\nKeamari shall be obstructed or in any way impeded. \r\n \r\nSCHEDULE D.—contd. \r\n \r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n \r\n15. This agreement shall, unless previously terminated as hereinafter provided, continue in force for the \r\nterm of 30 years commencing from such date as the Trustees shall commence to use the said main for the purpose \r\nor drawing water therefrom at Keamari. \r\n \r\n16. On the termination of this agreement, by efflux of time the whole of the said main and all its \r\nappurtenances shall become the absolute property of the Municipality. \r\n \r\n17. The Municipality may at any time, by giving three months’ notice in writing of its intention so to \r\ndo, terminate this agreement and take over the whole of the said main with all its appurtenances on payment of \r\nits value at the time of taking it over. This val ue shell calculated on the basis of provisions of clause 16 hereof. \r\ni.e., the price to be paid shall bear the same portion to the original cost of the main (viz., the price under clause 1 \r\nand the cost of extension incurred under clause 2 hereof) as the unexpired portion of 30 years to 30 years. \r\n \r\n18.  So soon as the said main and its appurtenances have been taken over by the Municipality under \r\nprovisions herein contained, the Engineer to the Municipality and all necessary Assistants and workmen shall at all \r\ntimes have access to the Import Yard or other premises belong to the Port Trust in or under which any portion of the \r\nsaid main shall be laid for the purpose of examining, repairing or doing any other necessary work in connection with \r\nthe said main or any branches thereof.
