under such streets, roads, and bridges; and may in
such streets and roads erect any pillars, lamps, and
other works, and do all other acts which the Super-
intendent shall from time to time deem necessary
for the making and supplying gas within the limits
hereinafter mentioned, doing as little damage as may
be in the execution of the power hereby granted, and
making compensation for any damage which may be
done in the execution of such powers.

That the Superintendent may from time to time
enter into any contract with any person for lighting
or supplying with gas any public or private buildings,
or for providing any person with pipes, burners,
meters, and lamps, and for the repair thereof; and
may also from time to time enter into any contract
with the Nelson Board of Works, or other persons
having the control of any of the streets or roads
within the limits aforesaid, for lighting the same or
any of them with gas; and for providing lamps,
lamp-posts, burners and pipes for such purpose, and
for the repairs thereof, in such manner and upon
such terms as shall be agreed upon between the
Superintendent and the Board of Works or other
persons.

That the Superintendent may let for hire any
meter for ascertaining the quantity of gas consumed
or supplied, and any fittings for the gas, for such
remuneration in money as shall be agreed upon be-
tween the Superintendent and any person to whom
the same may be so let, and such remuneration shall
be recoverable in the same manner as the rent or
sums due to the Superintendent for gas; and such
meters and fittings shall not be subject to distress for
rent of the premises where the same may be used,
nor to be taken in execution under any process or
proceeding of a Court of law or equity, or in bank-
ruptcy, against the person in whose possession the
same may be.

That the Clerk, Engineer, or other officer duly
appointed for the purpose by the Superintendent,
may at all reasonable times enter any building or
place lighted with gas supplied by the Superintendent,
in order to inspect the meters, fittings, and works for
regulating the supply of gas, and for the purpose of
ascertaining the quantity of gas consumed or sup-
plied; and if any person hinder such officer aforesaid
from entering and making such inspection as afore-
said at any reasonable time, he shall for every such
offence forfeit a sum not exceeding five pounds.

That if any person supplied with gas neglect to
pay the rent due for the same, the Superintendent
may stop the gas from entering the premises of such
person by cutting off the service pipe, or by such
means as he shall think fit; and recover the rent due
from such person, together with the expenses of
cutting off the gas and the cost of recovering the
rent, by action in any Court of law of competent
jurisdiction.

That in all cases in which the Superintendent is
authorized to cut off and take away the supply of
gas from any house, building, or premises under the
provisions of this Act, the Superintendent, his agents,
or workmen, after giving forty-eight hours' previous
notice in writing to the occupier, or if no occupier,
then after leaving such notice on any portion of the
premises, may enter into such house, building, or
premises between the hours of nine in the forenoon
and four in the afternoon, and remove or carry away
any pipe, meter, fittings, or other works, the property
of the Superintendent.

The Superintendent may make by-laws or regula-
tions, provided the same shall not be repugnant to
this Act, or to any Act of the General Assembly or
of the Province of Nelson, or to any by-law or regu-
lation which may now or hereafetr be made there-

under respectively, and may impose any penalty not
exceeding the sum of five pounds for the breach of
any by-law or regulation of the Superintendent.

The Superintendent may enter into any contract
or contracts for the construction of the Gas Works
authorized by this Act or of any part or parts thereof,
and may lease the same when constructed.

Such Gas Works, as aforesaid, are intended to be
made and maintained within the limits of the City of
Nelson.

The Works for the manufacture of Gas are in-
tended to be erected on a certain parcel of land,
containing four acres more or less, situated below
high water-mark in the Port of Nelson, granted to
the Superintendent of the Province of Nelson by a
certain Deed of Grant bearing date on or about the
9th day of February, 1856, bounded on the Westward,

Lukins, and known as section numbered 9 on the
Government plan of the frontages on the Haven
