Vesting Control of Balclutha Traffic Bridge in Clutha
County Council, and apportioning Cost of Maintaining
same between Borough Council of Balclutha and County
Councils of Clutha and Bruce.

WM. F. DRUMMOND JERVOIS,
Governor.

WHEREAS by the sixth section of "The Public Works
Act 1882 Amendment Act, 1883," it is enacted that,
where there is a bridge, ferry, or ford across a river at a point
where the two banks are situate within a borough, the in-
habitants of which at the time of the last census were re-
turned as numbering less than four thousand, and the
Minister shall be satisfied that it would be unreasonable that
the Borough Council should defray the whole cost of main-
taining the same, the Governor may appoint any adjacent
local body to have the control of such bridge, ferry, or ford,
and to be charged with the cost of maintaining the same, or
may apportion such cost between the borough and the
adjacent local bodies in manner as he shall think fair, and
nevertheless appoint any one of such bodies to have such
control; and every such bridge, ferry, or ford shall for all
purposes of such maintenance be deemed to be entirely
within the limits of the jurisdiction of the local body having
the control thereof:

And whereas the bridge known as the Balclutha Traffic
Bridge crosses the Clutha River at a point where the two
banks are situate within the Borough of Balclutha, the in-
habitants of which borough at the time of the last census
were returned as numbering less than four thousand: And
whereas the Minister for Public Works is satisfied that it
would be unreasonable that the Borough Council of the said
borough should defray the whole cost of maintaining the
same:

Now, therefore, I, William Francis Drummond Jervois, the
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in exercise of the
powers and authorities conferred by the said Act, and of
every other power and authority in any wise enabling me in
that behalf, do hereby appoint the Clutha County Council as
the local body to have control of the said Balclutha Traffic
Bridge as from the twenty-ninth day of November, one thou-
sand eight hundred and eighty-three; and I do hereby
apportion the cost of maintaining the said bridge subse-
quently to the date last aforesaid between the Borough
of Balclutha and the County Council of Clutha and
the County Council of Bruce respectively, one-third of such
cost to be paid by each of the said local bodies respectively.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor,
this twenty-third day of November, one thousand
eight hundred and eighty-three.
