And whereas by the same section it is provided that wherever the operation of “The Counties Act, 1886,” or of any Act amending or repealing the same, is suspended, the Governor shall have and may exercise all the functions vested in a County Council under the said section:

And whereas the operation of the Counties Act is suspended in the County of Manukau, and the Papakura and Manurewa Road Districts are situated within the said county, and the question of control and maintenance of a portion of the Great South Road is in dispute between the said Road Boards:

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 said portion of road, and what proportion of the cost of maintaining, repairing, improving, or reconstructing the said portion of road 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, Uchter John Mark, Earl of Ranfurly, Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities vested in me by the one-hundred-and-seventh section of “The Public Works Act, 1894,” do hereby declare and order that from and after the twenty-first day of August next the Papakura Road Board shall have exclusive control of that portion of the Great South Road which lies between, passes through, or abuts upon the Papakura and Manurewa Road Districts, and which said portion is situated within the said county, and is part of a district road within the meaning of the last-mentioned Act; and in further pursuance and exercise of the said powers and authorities do hereby direct and order that the cost of constructing and maintaining the said portion of road shall be borne between the Papakura Road Board and the Manurewa Road Board in the following proportions, that is to say: The Papakura Road Board shall pay eleven shillings and sixpence in the pound of such cost, and the Manurewa Road Board eight shillings and sixpence in the pound of such cost.

And I do hereby also further direct that any contribution hereby required to be made by the Manurewa Road Board to the Papakura 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 Papakura 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.
