. . ditions of “this* one” with reference to
this concession will be put forward at the same time with the agreement of two
sides.
It is evident that until the agreement on this account is signed, sealed
and exchanged between the two parties that one (the concessionaire) has no
right to commence this work or to start irrigation.

over or cross this piece of land which has been fixed upon whatever right
may be attached to the passage of the railway will be given to this one who
is the owner of the land and the said holder of the concession will have
absolutely no connection or relation with them. The said holder of the con
cession will have no other rights in the appointed piece of land except those
or irrigation for agriculture that he should interfere with or take possession of
the land, etc.
