Water taken from a Stream at Paekakariki for the Purposes of the Wellington and Manawatu Railway.

A NOTIFICATION.

WHEREAS by subsection (1) of section 13 of “The Public Works Act, 1908,” it is enacted that the Minister of Public Works may from time to time impound, divert, and take away any water from any stream or running water, or may purchase or acquire any right or interest therein, for the purpose, inter alia, of supplying water for the use of any railway:

And whereas the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company (Limited) acquired the right to impound, divert, and take away from a stream running through the section numbered 47 on the plan of the Wainui District as much water as would flow through a pipe having a diameter of 2 in. for the use of the Wellington and Manawatu Railway, and the interests of the said company in the said railway have been purchased by His Majesty the King:

And whereas doubts have arisen as to whether the right of the said company to take water as aforesaid from that stream has been transferred to His Majesty the King, and it is desirable to set these doubts at rest, and to further impound, divert, and take away from the said stream as much water as will flow through an additional pipe 3 in. in diameter for the purpose of supplying water for the use of the said Wellington and Manawatu Railway:

Now, therefore, I, the Honourable Roderick McKenzie, Minister of Public Works for the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and in exercise of the powers and authorities conferred on me by “The Public Works Act, 1908,” and of every other power and authority enabling me in this behalf, do hereby notify and declare that so much of the waters of the stream which flows through the said section numbered 47 on the plan of the Wainui District, in the Provincial District of Wellington and Dominion of New Zealand, as will flow through and can be diverted by means of two lines of iron pipes, having diameters of 2 in. and 3 in. respectively, inserted in the said stream within the said section numbered 47 is hereby taken for the purposes of the Wellington and Manawatu Railway, and will hereafter be impounded and diverted for those purposes.

Dated at Wellington, this 28th day of February, 1910.
