A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by section one hundred and seven of “The Public Works Act, 1894,” it is provided that the Council of any county may by special order declare that all or any part of any district road shall, from and after a date to be fixed therein, be under the exclusive control of such local authority within the county as shall be mentioned in such special order, and may by the same special order direct that the cost of constructing and maintaining any such road or part of a road shall be borne either by the local authority to which the exclusive control thereof is given, or that a proportion of such cost, to be fixed in and by such special order, shall be borne by any other local authority or local authorities: And whereas by the said section it is also provided that the local authority to which such exclusive control shall be granted may recover from any such other local authority or local authorities the share so fixed of any reasonable expenditure incurred in constructing and maintaining any such road or part of a road as aforesaid in any Court of competent jurisdiction:

And whereas by subsection three of the said section it is further provided that wherever the operation of “The Counties Act, 1886,” or of any Act repealing or amending the same, is suspended the Governor shall have and may exercise all the functions vested in a County Council under the said section:

And whereas the road described in the Schedule hereto (hereinafter referred to as “the said road”) is a district road, declared as such by an Order in Council dated the fourteenth day of January, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-six, and is situated in a county within which “The Counties Act, 1886,” is suspended:

And whereas by a Proclamation dated the fourteenth day of July, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, and published in the New Zealand Gazette on the nineteenth day of July, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, pages 768 and 769, parts of the said road were placed under the control of the Mount Wellington Road Board and the One Tree Hill Road Board, and it is now desirable to vary such control and to make other provision in lieu thereof as hereinafter appears:

Now, therefore, I, William Lee, Baron Plunket, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of the powers vested in me by “The Public Works Act, 1894,” and of every other power and authority enabling me in this behalf, do hereby revoke so much of the aforesaid Proclamation as vests part of the said road in the Mount Wellington Road Board and the One Tree Hill Road Board, and in lieu thereof do hereby declare that the portion of the said road which lies between the Portage Road and the railway-crossing at Penrose shall be under the exclusive care and control of the Mount Wellington Road Board, and that the portion of the said road which lies between the railway-crossing at Penrose and the Harp of Erin Hotel shall be under the exclusive care and control of the One Tree Hill Road Board; and I further order and declare that this Proclamation shall come into operation and take effect on the nineteenth day of October, one thousand nine hundred and five.
