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 maintain-
ing the whole or any part of such road among the local
authorities of the respective districts as he thinks fit: And
whereas the road described in the First Schedule hereto is a
county road within the County of Ohinemuri, and is largely
used for the purposes of traffic to or from the Borough of
Waihi and affords access to and from the said borough:
And whereas the Governor is of opinion that the cost of
maintaining the said road should be apportioned between
the respective local authorities of the said county and
borough, as hereinafter appears:
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 Act, and of all other powers enabling me in this behalf,
do hereby proclaim and declare as follows, that is to say,—

1. The said road shall be maintained in good order and
   condition by the Council of the County of Ohinemuri (here-
   inafter called “the County Council”), and the cost of
   maintenance shall be apportioned between the County
   Council and the Council of the Borough of Waihi (herein-
   after called “the Borough Council”) in the manner and
   subject to the provisions hereinafter specified.
2. The Borough Council shall forthwith pay to the
   County Council two-thirds of the total cost of maintenance
   actually expended by the County Council between the
   first day of March, one thousand nine hundred and two,
   and the first day of November, one thousand nine hundred
   and two (both days inclusive), upon being supplied by the
   County Council with satisfactory proof of the amount so
   expended.
3. From and after the first day of November, one thousand
   nine hundred and two, the Borough Council shall pay to
   the County Council two-thirds of the total cost of main-
   tenance actually expended by the County Council: Provided
   that the total liability of the Borough Council under this
   clause during any one year, computed from the first day of
   November, one thousand nine hundred and two, shall not
   exceed three thousand five hundred pounds in respect of
   such portion of the said road as is described in the Second
   Schedule hereto, and eight hundred and thirty-four pounds
   in respect of the residue of the said road (being the portion
   described in the Third Schedule hereto).
4. All cost of maintenance heretofore expended or in-
   curred by the County Council and by the Borough Council
   respectively, under clause (b) of a certain agreement be-
   tween them, dated the thirty-first day of October, one
   thousand nine hundred and two, shall be taken into account
   in computing the liability of the Borough Council under
   this Proclamation.
5. The contribution to be made by the Borough Council
   under this Proclamation shall be paid from time to time to
   the County Council within thirty days after demand in
   writing by or on behalf of the County Council.
6. As often as any question or dispute arises as to the
   amount payable by the Borough Council under any such
   demand, the same shall be settled by arbitration; but,
   pending the result of the arbitration, the Borough Council
   shall pay in accordance with the demand, and deduct any
   excess from future contributions.
