the Cost of the Bridge between the said Council and the

ONSLOW, Governor.

WHEREAS by section fifteen of “The Public Works

where the local authority of any district desires to construct
a bridge in any position that will, in its opinion, be of advan-
tage and benefit to the whole or any considerable portion of
the inhabitants of an adjacent district or districts, as well as
to the inhabitants of its own district, and where it is, in the
opinion of such local authority, reasonable that the local
authority or local authorities of such district or districts
whose inhabitants are to be so benefited should contribute
to the cost of constructing or establishing the said bridge, the
provisions in the said section mentioned shall have effect:

And whereas the Patea Borough Council has made appli-
cation to the Governor to authorise the construction of the
bridge mentioned in the Schedule hereto (hereinafter referred
to as “the said bridge”), and to apportion the cost of
constructing the said bridge between the Patea Borough
Council and the Patea County Council:

And whereas an inquiry into the matter of the said appli-
cation was held at Carlyle, on the fourteenth day of January,
one thousand eight hundred and ninety, by a Commissioner
appointed by the Governor under the provisions of the said
Act, and by his report it has been made to appear that the
construction of the bridge should be authorised on the terms
and conditions hereinafter set forth:

And whereas the Governor has determined to act in
accordance with the opinion expressed in such report:

Now, therefore, I, William Hillier, Earl of Onslow, the
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, being of opinion
that the said bridge should be constructed, and in pursuance
and exercise of the power and authority vested in me by the
said Act, do hereby authorise the Patea County Council to
construct the said bridge; and I do hereby declare that a
proportion of seven-tenths of the cost of constructing the
said bridge shall be borne by the Patea County Council, and
that a proportion of three-tenths of the cost of constructing
the said bridge shall be borne by the Patea Borough Council.

SCHEDULE.
A BRIDGE over the Patea River, with approaches on each
side thereof, immediately below the site of the bridge known
as the Patea Road Bridge, on the main line of road from
Wanganui to New Plymouth; as the site of the said bridge
is delineated on the plan marked S.G. 12473, deposited in
