BY-LAW NO. 2.—COUNTY OF MANIOTOTO.

A by-law to provide for the regulating the width of the
tires of the wheels of all vehicles used on county roads within
the Maniototo County, and the number of horses which may
be used in drawing the said vehicles proportioned to the said
width of tire:—

1. In the interpretation of this by-law the term “vehicle”
   shall include all classes of vehicles except those carrying Her
   Majesty’s mails; the term “county road” shall include all
   roads, bridges, ferries, and fords under the control of the
   county or the County Council; and the term “horse” or
   “horses” shall include mule or mules.
2. Every vehicle used on county roads within the County
   of Maniototo, whether plying for hire or not, shall have all
   the tires of the wheels thereof of the minimum width in the
   Schedule prescribed; and in computing such width no part
   of the tire shall be reckoned which, when used on ordinary
   roads, is not capable of coming into contact with the ground.
3. Any person or persons using on any county roads within
   the County of Maniototo any vehicle having tires which
   contravene this by-law shall be guilty of an offence, and
   shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding £5 for every such
   offence.
4. All fines and penalties recoverable in consequence of
   any breach of this by-law shall be recoverable in the manner
   directed by “The Justices of the Peace Act, 1882,” and the
   several amendments thereof, or any statutory enactment in
   lieu thereof for the time being in force.

Schedule.
(In respect of Vehicles drawn by Horses.)

1. For any two-wheeled vehicle ordinarily known as a
   dray, drawn by more than one horse and not more than four
   horses, the minimum width of the tires of the wheels thereof
   shall be 2¼in. For every additional horse beyond four horses
   used in drawing the said last-mentioned vehicles, such mini-
   mum width shall be increased by ¼in.
2. For every four-wheeled vehicle ordinarily known as a
   wagonette, drawn by four horses, the minimum width of

   width of the tires of the wheels thereof shall be 2¾in. For
   each additional pair of horses used in drawing the said last-
   mentioned vehicle, such minimum width shall be increased
   by ¼in.: Provided that if the number of horses used in draw-
   ing such last-mentioned vehicle shall not be a multiple of
   the number 2, the minimum width of the tires of the wheels
   of such last-mentioned vehicle shall be calculated as for two
   additional horses in respect of the additional horse in excess
   of such multiple.
4. For every vehicle ordinarily known as a four-wheeled
   wagon or timber-truck, drawn by six horses, the minimum
   width of the tires of the wheels thereof shall be 3in. For
   every additional pair of horses up to and including ten horses
   used in drawing the said last-mentioned vehicle, such mini-
   mum width shall be increased by 1in.: Provided that if the
   number of horses used in drawing such last-mentioned vehicle
   shall not be a multiple of the number 2, the minimum width
   of the tires of the wheels of such last-mentioned vehicle
   shall be calculated as for two additional horses in respect of
   the additional horse in excess of such multiple.
5. Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore expressed or
   implied, either in this By-law No. 2 or in the Schedule
   hereto, the total minimum width of the tires of the wheels
   of any vehicle drawn by horses hereinbefore referred to in

this By-law No. 2 or in the Schedule hereto shall not
exceed 6in.
6. The number of horses which shall be used in drawing
any vehicle the total minimum width of the tires of the
wheels whereof shall not exceed 6in. shall be ten horses,
and not any greater number.
