WHEREAS by section one hundred and nine of “The Public Works Act, 1908” (hereinafter termed “the said Act”), it is provided that in any case where a road in one district is largely used by or for the purpose of traffic to or from any other district or districts, and affords access to or from such district or districts, and the Governor is of opinion that it is equitable that the latter district or districts 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 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 hereto, the provisions of section one hundred and nineteen hereof shall, mutatis mutandis, apply in the case of the construction or reconstruction of the road, and the provisions of section one hundred and twenty hereof in the case of the maintenance of the road:

And whereas a dispute has arisen between the Southbridge Town Board and the Ellesmere Road Board on the question of the maintenance of the roads hereinafter mentioned:

And whereas by the said section one hundred and twenty it is, inter alia, provided that the Governor may, with the view of determining what proportion (if any) of the cost of maintaining any work should be borne by any local authority, direct any Magistrate or other person to be a Commissioner 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 purpose aforesaid, and an inquiry was duly held:

And whereas such Commissioner did report to the Governor, after due inquiry, his opinion thereon:

And whereas the Governor is of opinion that it is equitable that the cost of maintaining the roads mentioned in the Schedule hereto should be provided and paid in the manner and in the proportions hereinafter respectively set forth:

Now, therefore, I, William Lee, Baron Plunket, the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and in exercise of the power and authority vested in me by the said Act, do hereby apportion the cost of maintaining the roads described in the Schedule hereto between the Southbridge Town Board and the Ellesmere Road Board in the following proportions, viz.: The Ellesmere Road Board to contribute twenty-two pounds ten shillings sterling (£22 10s.) per annum towards the cost, and the Southbridge Town Board to contribute the remainder of the cost.

And I do hereby direct that any contribution hereby required to be made as aforesaid by the Ellesmere Road Board in respect of the roads mentioned in the Schedule hereto shall be paid from time to time out of the funds of the said Board, within a period of thirty days after demand in writing made by or on behalf of the Southbridge Town Board, and all such payments shall be made to the Clerk of the Town Board for and on account of the said Town Board.
