HAWKE’S BAY COUNTY COUNCIL.

RESOLUTION AMENDING THE BY-LAWS OF THE COUNTY OF HAWKE’S BAY AND INTENDED TO OPERATE AS A SPECIAL ORDER.

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities vested in it by “The Counties Act, 1886,” and the amendments thereof, and “The Public Works Act, 1905,” and of all other powers and authorities vested in it by any other Act or otherwise, the Council of the County of Hawke’s Bay doth hereby repeal clause 13 of By-law No. 6, and doth hereby make and ordain the following in lieu thereof:—

13. (a.) No person shall use or drive any traction-engine on, over, or along any road, bridge, ferry, or ford under the care, control, or management of the Council unless such engine shall have been first licensed in manner hereinafter provided.

(b.) The owner of any engine required to be licensed under this by-law, or some person on his behalf, shall deliver at the County Office to the County Clerk a written application for a license, signed by the owner or his authorised agent, together with the proper license fee, and a description of the engine, stating the true weight thereof, and the maximum weight of water and coal or other fuel which the engine is constructed to carry for its propulsion, and the maker’s name and the number of the engine, and the purposes for which the engine is or is intended to be used.

(c.) If the engine is used or intended to be used for carriage or haulage, the amount of the license fee shall be fifteen pounds; in all other cases the amount of the license fee shall be five pounds only.

(d.) Where the lesser of the said amounts has been paid and the engine is afterwards used for any purpose not mentioned in the application aforesaid, the Council shall be entitled to recover from the owner of the engine the difference between the lower and the higher license fee.

(e.) For the purpose of satisfying itself of the truth of the matters contained in any application for a license the Council may cause the engine in respect of which the license is applied for to be weighed by a competent person.

(f.) The description of every licensed engine shall be entered in a register-book to be kept by the County Clerk for that purpose, and the Clerk shall deliver to the owner or other person obtaining a license hereunder a receipt for the license fee marked with the registration number of the license.

(g.) Every license issued hereunder shall continue in force for one year from the day when the same shall be granted and no longer.

(h.) Nothing in this by-law or in any license issued hereunder shall be deemed to relieve any licensee or other person concerned from liability for any damage or injury that may be caused or done to any road, bridge, ferry, or ford under the care, control, or management of the Council by reason or in consequence of the use of any licensed engine for any purpose whatsoever, or to prejudice the right or remedy of the Council under sections 150 and 151 of “The Public Works Act, 1905,” or any other right or remedy of the Council, or to affect the right of the Council to close roads to heavy traffic during certain months of the year as provided by subparagraph (i) of section 139 of the said Act.

And the said Council doth further ordain that the foregoing provisions (a) to (h) shall come into force on the 1st day of January, 1908.
