Warrant authorising the Borough Council of Gore to con-
struct a Bridge over the Mataura River at Gore, and
apportioning the Cost of the Bridge between the said
Council and the Southland County Council.

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 con-
struct a bridge in any position that will, in its opinion, be
of advantage 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 Borough Council of Gore, being desirous
of constructing the work mentioned in the Schedule hereto,
under the provisions of the said Act, prepared plans, specifi-
cations, and estimates of the work of constructing the said
work, and sent a copy of same to the office of the Southland
County Council, and to the Minister for Public Works,
together with a notice from the said Council to the said
Board, as required by the provisions of section one hundred
and thirteen of the said Act:

And whereas, the County Council of Southland having
lodged an objection to the said work being constructed, a
Commissioner was appointed to inquire into and report on
the matter, in terms of the said Act:

And whereas the aforesaid Commissioner has reported that
he is of opinion that the said work should be constructed by
the Borough Council of Gore, and that the cost of construct-
ing the said work, less a contribution by Government of
the sum of one thousand pounds, should be borne propor-
tionately by the Borough Council of Gore and the County
Council of Southland.

Now, therefore, I, David, Earl of Glasgow, Governor of the
Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
power and authority vested in me by the said Act, do hereby
authorise the Borough Council of Gore to construct the said
work; and I do hereby declare that the cost of constructing
the said work, less the contribution of one thousand pounds
aforesaid, shall be borne by the Borough Council of Gore
and the Southland County Council in equal proportions—
namely, one-half by the Borough Council of Gore, and one-
half by the Southland County Council.
