where the local authority of any district desires to construct
a bridge in any position that will, in its opinion, be of ad-
vantage 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 work, the
provisions in the said section mentioned shall have effect:
And whereas the Manawatu Road Board, being desirous
of constructing the work mentioned in the Schedule hereto
under the provisions of the said Act, prepared plans, speci-
fications, and estimates of the cost of the said work, and
sent a copy of the same to the office of the Manchester Road
Board and to the Minister for Public Works, together with
a notice to the said Manchester Road Board, as required by
the provisions of the herebefore in part recited Act, stating,
inter alia, that it was proposed that the cost of the work
should be borne in the proportion of one-half by the Mana-
watu Road Board and one-half by the Manchester Road
Board:

And whereas no objection to the proposal so made has
been lodged, as provided by the said Act; and the Manawatu
Road Board, on the expiration of the period of two months
provided by the said Act, has made application to the
Governor for power to construct the work on the terms
mentioned in the notice aforesaid:
And whereas the Governor is of opinion that the work
should be done:
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 Manawatu Road Board to construct the said
work; and I do hereby declare that one-half of the cost of
constructing the said work shall be borne by the Manawatu
Road Board, and that one-half of such cost shall be borne by
the Manchester Road Board.
