The Commissioners shall report to the Governor, after such inquiry as they think necessary, their opinion as to the matters inquired into, but it shall not be obligatory on the Governor to act in accordance with any opinion or recommendation expressed or made by the Commissioners. Any such Commissioner shall have all the powers of a Board or Commission appointed by the Governor in Council under the provisions of “The Commissioners’ Powers Act, 1867.” After consideration of the report of the Commissioners, the Governor shall, by Warrant under his hand, make such adjustment or award as he shall deem just. Such adjustment or award shall be notified to the parties by the Colonial Secretary. All applications under this regulation shall be addressed to the Colonial Secretary.

4. Any such adjustment or award may provide for all or any of the matters mentioned in regulation two, and may declare in whom any property shall be vested, and for what estate, and by whom any moneys shall be paid, or other acts and things done (including the payment by either party of the whole or any part of the costs and expenses of such inquiry), and generally may give such directions as may be necessary for giving full effect to these regulations.

(1.) Such proportion of cost may be demanded from the contributing local authority in instalments as the work progresses, at such intervals of not less than one month as the constructing local authority thinks fit. Every such demand shall be by notice in writing signed by the Clerk of the Council of the constructing local authority.

(2.) The instalments shall bear the same proportion to the value of the work executed as the proportion of cost to be paid by the contributing local authority bears to the total cost of the work.

(3.) All payments shall be made to the Clerk of the said Council.

(4.) Any instalments not paid within thirty days of the receipt of the aforesaid notice may be recovered in any Court of competent jurisdiction as a debt due to the constructing local authority.
