——

RANFURLY, Governor.

WHEREAS by section seven of “The Public Works Acts Amendment Act, 1900” (hereinafter termed “the said Act”), it is, inter alia, enacted that, where a road lies lengthways on the boundary of a borough, such road, whether included in whole or in part in such borough or not, shall be under the control of and shall be constructed and maintained by the borough, and that the cost of such construction and maintenance shall be borne by the Council of the borough and the local authority of every district of which such road is also a boundary or which is benefited by the construction or maintenance thereof, in such proportion as may be mutually agreed upon:

And whereas it is further provided that, if any dispute arises respecting the apportionment of such cost, such dispute shall be decided by the Governor, who may from time to time declare that the whole of such cost shall be borne by the Council of the borough, or may apportion the same among all or any of the local authorities concerned in such manner as he thinks fit:

And whereas a dispute has arisen between the Council of the Borough of Carterton and the Taratahi-Carterton Road Board as to the apportionment of the cost of maintaining the boundary roads described in the Schedule hereto, and it appears expedient to determine such dispute and to make the apportionment hereinafter set forth:

Now, therefore, I, Uchter John Mark, Earl of Ranfurly, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and in exercise of the powers conferred by the hereinbefore-in-part-recited Act, and of all other powers and authorities in anywise enabling me in this behalf, do hereby declare that the cost of maintaining the several portions of the boundary roads described in the Schedule hereto shall henceforth be borne by the Carterton Borough Council and the Taratahi-Carterton Road Board in equal proportions of one-half each respectively.

——

SCHEDULE.

That portion of the road on the south-western boundary of the Borough of Carterton lying between the said borough and the Taratahi-Carterton Road District, and known as Dalefield Road, for a length of 60 chains or thereabouts. That portion of the road on the south-western boundary of the said Borough of Carterton lying between the said borough and the Taratahi-Carterton Road District, known as the Portland Road, for a length of 40 chains or thereabouts. That portion of the road on the eastern boundary of the Borough of Carterton lying between the said borough and the Taratahi-Carterton Road District, and known as the Rutland Road, for a length of 145 chains or thereabouts.
