Warrant authorizing the Gisborne Borough Council to construct a Bridge and Approaches thereto over the Waimata River, within the Borough of Gisborne, and apportioning the Cost.

ISLINGTON, Governor.

WHEREAS by section one hundred and nineteen of the Public Works Act, 1908 (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 provision of the said section shall have effect :

And whereas the Gisborne Borough Council has given notice and taken the steps required by the said Act, and has made application to the Governor to authorize the construction of the bridge and approaches thereto 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 and approaches thereto between the said Borough Council and the Cook County Council :

And whereas it is also provided in the said Act that the Governor (with a 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 of 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, John Poynder Dickson-Poynder, Baron Islington, the Governor of the Dominion 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 authorize the Gisborne Borough Council 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 local authorities hereinafter mentioned in the following proportion, namely—the Gisborne Borough Council to pay five-sixths and the Cook County to pay one-sixth of such cost respectively; and I do hereby further direct that any contribution hereby required to be made as aforesaid by the Cook County Council shall be paid from time to time out of the funds of the said County Council, within a period of thirty days after demand in writing made by or on behalf of the Gisborne Borough Council, and all such payments shall be made to the Town Clerk of the said Borough Council for and on account of such County Council.
