Notice of Contract having been entered into by Her Majesty
the Queen and the Waicola, Linton, and Waiau Valley
Railway Company (Limited).

HIS Excellency the Governor in Council hereby directs
it to be notified that, under the powers conferred
upon the Governor in Council by "The Railways Construc-
tion and Land Act, 1881," a contract was, on the 9th
day of August, 1883, made between Her Majesty the Queen
and the Waicola, Linton, and Waiau Valley Railway Com-
pany (Limited), of which the following is the general purport
-namely:-

1. The Company shall, at its own expense, within five
   years, construct, and thereafter maintain and work, a line of
   railway from a point in the Government railway between
   Otautau and Wairio, situated on Section 23, Aparima Hun-
   dred, to a point in the Waiau Township Reserve.
2. The specifications and drawings to be from time to time
   approved by an Engineer appointed for that purpose by the
   Governor, and are to accord as nearly as may be with the
   standard specifications and drawings in use on the New
   Zealand Government railways.
3. All rolling-stock and plant to be of like character and
   strength as in use on the said Government railways.
4. The Company to expend within twelve months from the
   date of contract not less than £25,000, so as to enable the
   section marked from A to C on plan attached to the contract
   to be fit for traffic within the said twelve months, and the
   Company thereafter to proceed with the construction of the
   residue of the said railway, so as to complete the same within
   the time mentioned in clause 1 of the contract.
5. The power of inspection by the Governor, provided for
   by section 48 of "The Railways Construction and Land Act,
   1881," shall include the direction of additions to, and altera-
   tions or repairs of, the class and character of the rolling-
   stock, plant, and material; and the Company shall cause
   such additions, alterations, or repairs to be made or supplied
   within a specified time.
6. The Company shall not assign, charge, or dispose of any
   part of their contract without the consent of the Governor;
   but this provision shall not be deemed to prevent the Com-
   pany from raising money by debentures without the necessity
   for such consent.
7. The Company to be put in possession of such parts of
   any Crown lands through which the railway will pass, and of
   any Crown lands adjacent thereto, which may be required
   for the construction of the railway; the lands being subject
   to any conditions of contract or agreement entered into by
   the Queen or the Minister for Public Works. Upon comple-
   tion of the railway, the land actually used and any land
   adjacent thereto which may be requisite for the purposes of
   the said railway will be granted to the Company.
   Land set apart for selection under section 101 of "The
   Railways Construction and Land Act, 1881," to be appro-
   priated to the railway in the proportions, so far as the areas
   coloured pink and brown on plan attached to contract for
   the respective sections A to C and C to E will permit, of
   £1,350 worth of such land, according to the value thereof
   (to be ascertained under section 102 of "The Railways Con-
   struction and Land Act, 1881"), for every mile of railway
   completed and open for traffic with the requisite rolling-stock
   and appliances.
8. The lands mentioned in Schedule A to the contract,
   and coloured brown and pink on the plan, shall be with-
   drawn from sale and set apart for the purpose of being

   such land after the construction of the said railway, or of
   any completed section thereof, to be as follows:-
   (a.) For the purposes of such selection the estimated cost
   of constructing the line of railway, including all
   rolling-stock and appliances necessary for working
   the same, shall be £4,500 per mile, and the whole
   length 18 miles.
   (b.) The value of the lands shall be ascertained in the
   manner prescribed by section 102 of "The Railways
   Construction and Land Act, 1881."
   (c.) When the Minister for Public Works shall be satisfied
   that each section of the railway has been completed
   and is fit for traffic, and is supplied with all neces-
   sary rolling-stock and appliances, the Company may
   select and shall receive a grant or grants for so
   much of the lands (the value whereof shall have
   been computed in the manner and after the rate
   aforesaid) as they may be entitled to select in
   respect of the number of miles of railway comprised
   in such completed section. In any dispute as to the
   area the Company is entitled to select, the decision
