Oct. 27.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 3829

Now, therefore, I, John Poynder Dickson-Poynder,
Baron Islington, 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, and of all other
powers and authorities in anywise enabling me in this
behalf, do hereby direct that the bridge, known as the
Waipukurau Bridge, over the Tukituki River, as described
in the Schedule hereto (and hereinafter referred to as “the
bridge”) shall, from and after the first day of April, one
thousand nine hundred and eight, be under the exclusive
care, control, and management of the Waipukurau Town
Board; and, in further pursuance and exercise of the
aforesaid powers and authorities, I do hereby fix and
determine that the cost of maintaining, repairing, im-
proving, or reconstructing the said bridge shall be borne
by the Waipukurau, Waipawa, and Dannevirke County
Councils, and the Waipawa Borough Council, in the
following proportions—namely, the Waipukurau County
Council, the sum of sixteen pounds eight shillings and
fourpence per annum; the Waipawa County Council, the
sum of sixty-five pounds fifteen shillings and eightpence
per annum; the Dannevirke County Council, the sum of
fifty-five pounds and eightpence per annum; and the Wai-
pawa Borough Council, the sum of one pound twelve
shillings and sevenpence per annum: Provided that if the
total amount of such proportions—namely, one hundred
and thirty-eight pounds seventeen shillings and threepence
per annum—is not in any one year required for maintaining,
repairing, improving, or reconstructing the said bridge, the
unexpended balance shall be applied and expended for
that purpose by the Waipukurau Town Board in subse-
quent years, when the total annual payment of one hundred
and thirty-eight pounds seventeen shillings and threepence
may be insufficient to cover the cost of such work: Pro-
vided further that payment of the said proportions of cost
shall cease as soon as and when the special loan raised for
the construction of the said bridge is paid off:

And I do also further direct that any contribution hereby
required to be made as aforesaid by the Waipukurau, Wai-
pawa, and Dannevirke County Councils and the Waipawa
Borough Council shall be paid from time to time in the
proportions, and subject to the conditions hereinbefore
prescribed, out of the funds of the said counties and
borough, within a period of thirty days after demand in
writing made by or on behalf of the Board of the Town
of Waipukurau, and such payments shall be made from
time to time to the Clerk of that Board for and on account
of such Board. A separate account shall be kept by the
Clerk of the Waipukurau Town Board of all moneys re-
ceived from the said counties and borough and expended
by that Board in maintaining, repairing, improving, or
reconstructing the said bridge.
