RANFURLY, Governor.

WHEREAS by section eight of “The Public Works Acts Amendment Act, 1900,” it is enacted that in any case where a road in one district is largely used by or for the purpose of traffic to or from any other district or districts, and affords access to or from such district or districts, and the Governor is of opinion that it is equitable that the latter district should contribute towards the cost of constructing or maintaining the whole or any portion of such road in the former district, the Governor may from time to time apportion the cost of constructing or maintaining the whole or any part of such road among the local authorities of the respective districts as he thinks fit; and for that purpose, and to enable effect to be given thereto, the provisions of sections one hundred and thirteen and one hundred and fourteen of the principal Act shall, mutatis mutandis, apply:

And whereas the Manawatu Road Board has made application to the Governor to authorise the construction of the road mentioned in the Schedule hereto (hereinafter referred to as “the said road”), and to apportion the cost of constructing the said road between the said Road Board and the adjoining districts largely using the said road:

And whereas by section one hundred and thirteen of “The Public Works Act, 1894,” it is further provided that the Governor may, with the view of determining whether or not the work should be done, or what proportion, if any, of the cost of the same should be borne by any local authority, and what local authority should do the work, direct any person to be a Commissioner to inquire and report to him upon any matter which he shall deem necessary to enable him to determine any such question as aforesaid:

And whereas a Commissioner was appointed and an inquiry duly held: And whereas such Commissioner did report to the Governor, after due inquiry, his opinion thereon:

And whereas the Governor is of opinion that the said road should be constructed:

Now, therefore, I, Uchter John Mark, Earl of Ranfurly, Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and in exercise of the power and authority vested in me by the said Acts, do hereby authorise the Manawatu Road Board to construct the said road. And I do hereby declare that the cost of constructing the said road—less such amount, by way of contribution, as may be provided by Government—shall be borne by the Manawatu Road Board and the Manawatu County Council in the following proportions —viz., the Manawatu Road Board to contribute two-thirds and the Manawatu County Council to contribute one-third of such cost after the Government contribution has been deducted therefrom as aforesaid: provided, however, that the proportion to be contributed by the Manawatu County Council shall in no case exceed the sum of four hundred and fifty pounds.
