GLASGOW, Governor.

WHEREAS by section one hundred and thirteen of
"The Public Works Act, 1894" (hereinafter termed
"the said Act"), it is, inter alia, enacted that, in any case
where the local authority of any district desires to construct
a bridge in any position that will, in its opinion, be of ad-

inhabitants of its own district, and where it is, in the opinion
of such local authority, reasonable that the local authority
of such adjacent district should contribute to the cost of
constructing or establishing the said bridge, the following
provisions in the said section mentioned shall have effect:

And whereas the Borough Council of Pahiatua has made
application 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 said Council and

tective works have likewise been agreed upon, and the
relative proportions of cost determined, and no objection
made thereto by the Pahiatua County Council:

And whereas the Governor is of opinion that the work
should be done:

Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and in exercise of the
power and authority vested in me by the said Act, do hereby
