(L.S.) RANFURLY, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by section eight of “The Public Works 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 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 Council of the County of Eketahuna made application to the Governor to apportion the cost of maintaining the road described in the Schedule hereto (hereinafter referred to as “the said road”) between the said Council and the adjoining districts largely using the said road:

And whereas by section one hundred and fourteen of “The Public Works Act, 1894,” it is further provided that the Governor may, with the view of determining what proportion, if any, of the cost, whether theretofore incurred or thereafter to be incurred, of maintaining the work should be borne by any local authority, 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:
