Amended By-law, Oxford Water-race, County of Ashley.

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Wellington, 27th January, 1886.

THE following by-law, made by the Oxford Road Board, is published for general information.

P. A. BUCKLEY.

OXFORD ROAD BOARD.—EYRE WATER-RACE BY-LAWS.
ALTERATION OF RULE 8.

At the adjourned meeting of the Oxford Road Board, held on 8th January, 1886, it was resolved that Rule 8 of the Eyre Water-race By-laws be altered as follows :—

That all the words after water in the sixth line to the word “and” in the eleventh line shall be struck out, and that the words “which charge” shall be added in lieu thereof.

The rule, as altered, will be as follows :—

Charge for Maintenance.

8. It shall be lawful for the Board from time to time, by resolution in that behalf, to fix an annual charge to be paid to the Board by every occupier of land through, along, abutting upon, or adjacent to which any aqueduct, race, or water-channel shall pass, and the water from which he shall be at liberty to use, for the supply of such water, which charge shall be made payable either in one sum or by half-yearly instalments, on such day or days in each and every year and in such places as shall be appointed by such resolution. All moneys which shall be received by the Board hereunder shall be expended upon the maintenance and repair of dams, weirs, head-works, and head-races, and the inspection and general supervision of waterworks, or otherwise in connection therewith as the Board may think fit: Provided always that nothing herein contained shall prejudice or affect any covenant or agreement which may already subsist or may hereafter be made between the Board and the owner or occupier of any land relating to the maintenance and repair of any waterworks :

Provided, further, that, if the occupier of any land shall fail to pay any such charge or any instalment thereof within one calendar month after the day when the same shall become due and payable, the Board may, if it thinks fit, recover the same from the owner of such land ; but its right to recover from such owner shall not release such occupier from his liability to pay such outstanding charge or instalment thereof, but the occupier and owner of the land shall be severally liable for the same. Seven days at least before proceedings are taken against the owner of any land to recover such outstanding charge or instalment, notice in writing, under the hand of the Clerk or some other officer of the Board, that such charge or instalment remained unpaid shall be served upon such owner by either being delivered to him personally, or left or sent by post in a prepared letter addressed to him or his agent at his usual or last known place of abode.

I hereby certify that the above special order for altering by-laws under the provisions of “The Counties Act, 1876,” and the various amendments of the said Act, was duly made by the Oxford Road Board, at an adjourned meeting of the said Board, held at the Road Board Office, on the 8th day of January, 1886.

Given under my hand the 8th day of January, 1886.

JOHN DOBSON,
Clerk to the Oxford Road Board.

The common seal of the Board is hereunto affixed by the authority of the Chairman and members of the Oxford Road Board, on the 8th day of January, 1886.

As witness my hand, this 8th day of January, 1886.

JOHN DOBSON,
Clerk to the Oxford Road Board.
