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 appor-
tion 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 Public Works Act, 1894,” shall, mutatis mutandis,
apply :

And whereas the road described in the Schedule hereto
(hereafter referred to as “ the said road ”) is situate in the
County of Tauranga, and the Council of the County of
Tauranga has made application to the Governor to apportion
the cost of maintaining the said road between the said
Council and the Council of the Borough of Waihi :

And whereas by section one hundred and fourteen of “ The
Public Works Act, 1894,” it is, inter alia, enacted that the
Governor may, with the view of determining what propor-
tion, if any, of the cost of maintaining any work should be
borne by any local authority, direct any person to be a Com-
missioner 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 for the pur-
pose aforesaid, and such Commissioner after inquiry did
report thereon to the Governor :

And whereas the Governor is of opinion that it is equitable
that the Council of the said borough should contribute
towards the cost of maintaining the said road :

Now, therefore, I, William Lee, Baron Plunket, the
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 by this Proclamation hereby apportion the cost of
maintaining the said road between the Council of the
County of Tauranga and the Council of the Borough of
Waihi in the following proportions : viz., the Council of the
Borough of Waihi shall forthwith pay to the Council of the
County of Tauranga the sum of two hundred pounds as a
contribution towards the cost of maintaining that portion of
the said road which runs from the county-boundary to
Athenree, and so soon as this sum has been expended thereon
the Council of the Borough of Waihi shall contribute the
proportion of fifteen per centum and the Council of the
County of Tauranga shall contribute the proportion of
eighty-five per centum of the total cost thereafter incurred
by the said County Council in maintaining the whole of the
said road.

And I do hereby direct that any contribution to be made
as aforesaid by the Council of the Borough of Waihi shall be
paid from time to time out of the funds of the said borough
within a period of thirty days after demand in writing made
by or on behalf of the Council of the County of Tauranga,
and all such payments shall be made from time to time to
the Clerk of the County Council for and on account of such
Council.
