And I do also hereby order and declare that a sum of nine pounds fifteen shillings already expended on the main-
tenance of the said road by the Manurewa Road Board shall be paid to the said Road Board by the Wairoa Road Board; and, subject to the said payment, I do hereby also further direct that any contribution hereby required to be made by the Manurewa Road Board to the Wairoa Road Board shall be paid from time to time in the proportion hereinbefore prescribed out of the funds of the said Road Board within a period of thirty days after demand in writing made by or on behalf of the Wairoa Road Board, and all such payments shall be made from time to time to the Clerk of the said Road Board for and on account of such Road Board.
