PLUNKET, Governor.

WHEREAS by section one hundred and eighteen of “The Public Works Act, 1905” (hereinafter termed “the said Act”), it is, inter alia, enacted that in any case where the local authority of any district desires to construct a bridge, or to establish a ferry or ford, in any position that will, in its opinion, be of advantage or benefit to the whole or any considerable portion of the inhabitants of an adjacent district, as well as to the inhabitants of its own district, and where it is, in the opinion of such local authority, reasonable that the local authority of such adjacent district should contribute to the cost of constructing or establishing the said bridge, ferry, or ford, the provisions of the said section shall have effect:

And whereas the Whakatane County Council has given notice and taken the steps required by the said Act, and has made application to the Governor to authorise the construction of the bridge mentioned in the Schedule hereto, and hereinafter referred to as “the said bridge,” and to apportion the cost of constructing and establishing the said bridge between the said Council and certain other local authorities:

And whereas it is also provided in the said Act that the Governor (with the view of determining whether or not the work should be done, or what proportion, if any, of the cost of the same should fairly be borne by any local authority, or what local authority should do the work) may direct any Magistrate or other person to be a Commissioner to inquire into and report to him on the matter:

And whereas a Commissioner was appointed, and an inquiry was duly held, in the manner provided by the said Act, in respect to the said bridge, and in respect also to the apportionment of the cost of constructing the said bridge:

And whereas such Commissioner did report to the Governor, after due inquiry, his opinion as to the matters respecting which he was appointed to report:

And whereas I am of opinion that the work should be done, and it is expedient to make provision under the said Act for the purposes and in the manner hereinafter set forth:

Now, therefore, I, William Lee, Baron Plunket, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and in exercise of the powers vested in me by the said Act, and of all other powers and authorities in anywise enabling me in this behalf, do hereby authorise the Council of the County of Whakatane to execute the work; and I do hereby declare that the cost thereof, less such contribution as may be made thereto (if any) by the Government of New Zealand, shall be borne by the Council of the County of Whakatane and the Council of the County of Opotiki in the following proportions, viz.: The Council of the County of Whakatane to bear ninety per centum of such cost, and the Council of the County of Opotiki to bear ten per centum of such cost.

And I do hereby also further direct that any contribution hereby required to be made as aforesaid by the County Council of Opotiki shall be paid from time to time respectively in the proportion hereinbefore prescribed out of the funds of the said county, within a period of thirty days after demand in writing made by or on behalf of the Whakatane County Council, and all such payments shall be made from time to time to the Clerk of the said County Council for and on account of such County Council.
