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 of 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 Oroua County 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, approaches, and protective works mentioned in the Schedule hereto, and hereinafter referred to as “the said work,” and to apportion the cost of constructing and establishing the said work between the said Council and the Feilding Borough Council:

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 work, and in respect also to the apportionment of the cost of constructing the said work:

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 purpose 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 Council of the County of Oroua to execute the work: And I do hereby declare that the cost thereof, less such contributions as may be made thereto by the Government of New Zealand, and less such other contributions as have already been made by private individuals, shall be borne by the Oroua County Council and the Feilding Borough Council in the following proportions—viz., the Feilding Borough Council shall pay £500
