GLASGOW, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by section one hundred and fourteen of
"The Public Works Act, 1894" (hereinafter termed
"the said Act"), it is, inter alia, enacted that the Governor
may, by Proclamation publicly notified, direct that any ferry
already established over or across any river or arm of the
sea, shall, from and after a date to be fixed in such Proclama-
tion, be under the exclusive care, control, and management
of such local authority as shall be mentioned in that behalf
in such Proclamation; and may by any such Proclamation
as aforesaid fix and determine whether all or any, and, if so,
what part, of the cost, whether theretofore incurred or there-
after to be incurred, of managing and maintaining any such
ferry, is to be provided and paid by any local authority, and,
if so, by what local authority; and may by any such Pro-
clamation as aforesaid direct how and when and to whom
any such payment is to be made:

And whereas by the said Act it is further provided that
the Governor may from time to time, with the view of deter-
mining whether it is expedient to vest the exclusive care,
control, management, and maintenance of any such work
in any local authority, direct any person to be a Commis-
sioner to inquire into and report to him upon any matter
which he shall deem necessary to enable him to determine
any such question as aforesaid:

And whereas a Commissioner was appointed and an
inquiry was duly held with a view to determining what local
authority could most conveniently and efficiently control the
ferry mentioned in the Schedule hereto, and hereinafter
referred to as "the said ferry," and what proportion of the
cost of managing and maintaining the said ferry should be
paid by any, and, if so, which, local authority or authorities:
And whereas such Commissioner did report to the Governor
after due inquiry his opinion as to the matters respecting
which he was appointed to report:

And whereas it is expedient to make provision under the
said Act for the purposes and in the manner hereinafter set
forth:

Now, therefore, I, David, Earl of Glasgow, the Governor
of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and in exercise
of the power and authority vested in me by the said Act,
and of all other powers and authorities in anywise enabling
me in this behalf, do hereby proclaim and direct that the
said ferry shall, from and after the date of this Pro-
clamation, be under the exclusive care and control and
management of the Bruce County Council; and in further
pursuance of the aforesaid powers and authorities I do
hereby fix and determine that the cost of managing and
maintaining the said ferry, and the machinery and appliances
used therewith, less any revenue by way of rates, fees, or
otherwise received in respect to persons, animals, machinery,
vehicles, goods, or other things carried upon the said ferry,
and less any contribution made by Government towards the
cost of reconstructing or improving the said ferry, shall be
borne by the Bruce County Council in the proportion of
two-thirds, and by the Taieri County Council in the propor-
tion of one-third of the cost.

And I do hereby also further direct that any contribution
hereby required to be made as aforesaid by the Taieri County
Council shall be paid from time to time in the proportion
hereinbefore prescribed out of the county funds of the County
Council within a period of thirty days after demand in
writing made by or on behalf of the said Bruce County
Council, and all such payments shall be made from time to
time to the Clerk of the Bruce County Council for and on
account of such county.
