(Made pursuant to “The Public Works Act, 1894.”)

1. No person shall, from the 1st day of May to the 30th day of September, inclusive, in any year, use any metalled or gravelled county road within the Stratford County by the traction thereon by means of bullocks of any vehicle, unless such vehicle shall be licensed for the year in which it shall be so used in manner hereinafter appearing. The annual fee payable in respect of every such vehicle shall, if the tire of any wheel is not less than 8in., be 10s., and shall otherwise be £25. The Clerk to the Stratford County Council shall, upon application of the owner of any such vehicle and upon payment of the fee above specified, issue to such owner a license, and also a docket marked with the year of issue, and marked with the letter “A” if the fee be 10s., and with the letter “B” if the fee be £25. The owner shall affix such docket to the near side of the vehicle in a conspicuous place, and shall keep the same so affixed until the end of the month of September following. If any duly-licensed vehicle be destroyed or unfit for use, the owner may, with the previous consent in writing of the said Clerk, detach such docket and affix it to another vehicle of the like description, which shall thereafter be deemed the licensed vehicle. No person shall deface or tamper with any such docket, or, except as aforesaid, remove the same, during the months aforesaid of the year in which it shall have been issued.

The traction of any vehicle or thing by means of bullocks on the Toko and Ohura County roads within the Stratford County shall cease during the whole of the months of May, June, July, August, and September in every year, and no person shall use either of the said roads during any of the said months by the traction thereon of any vehicle or thing by means of bullocks.
