The Taumarunui Borough Council doth hereby by special order ordain as follows:—

(1.) These by-laws shall be read with and as extending the by-laws of the Borough of Taumarunui made on the 13th day of January, 1911 (hereinafter referred to as “the said by-laws”); and words herein used shall have the same meaning and be interpreted in the same way as the same words when used in the said by-laws.

(2.) Part X of the said by-laws is hereby repealed.

PART I.
Heavy Traffic.

In these by-laws “heavy traffic” shall have the meaning given to those words by section 139 of the Public Works Act, 1908.

1. No person or persons shall engage in any heavy traffic upon any road within the borough until he or they shall have applied for and be in possession of a license obtained from the Taumarunui Borough Council as herein provided, authorizing him or them to engage in such heavy traffic.

2. Every application for such license shall be in writing, and shall state the number of carts or timber-wagons intended to be used in such heavy traffic.

3. Every license issued under these by-laws shall specify the number of carts, junkers, wagons, or timber-wagons in respect of which such license is issued; and such license may be issued for three, six, or twelve months; provided that the Council may make agreements and issue licenses for shorter periods for any kind of heavy traffic at fees in proportion to the annual license fees. And it shall be at the option of the Council when issuing such licenses to fix the time of beginning or expiration of any license, and of cancelling any such license if the licensee commits any breach of this by-law or of agreements entered into with this Council. The yearly license fee shall be: For every traction-engine, £4 10s. per annum; for every four-wheeled wagon or timber-wagon, or two-wheeled junker engaged in any heavy traffic, £3 per annum, £1 10s. per half-year, and 15s. for every three months. Drays engaged in heavy traffic and drawn by three horses shall pay half the above-mentioned fees. Drays having 9-inch tires shall only be charged one-fourth of the foregoing license fees.

4. Provided that drays drawn by not more than two horses and used by settlers for ordinary farm traffic shall be free and exempt from any such license fees. Provided also that settlers so exempted under this clause shall not engage, directly or indirectly, in the carriage of flax, timber, logs, oats, chaff, or metal to or from any mill, railway-station, or metal-pit, except for their own use, without the payment of a fee.

5. No person shall conduct, or cause or procure to be conducted, any heavy traffic as hereinbefore defined on or along any road, roads, or part of a road that shall, by direction of the Council, be closed for heavy traffic.

6. The person for the time being in charge of any vehicle, engine, or machine proceeding or being upon any road shall, whenever required by any officer of the Council or by any constable or councillors so to do, cause such vehicle, machine, or engine to be and remain stopped for a reasonable and sufficient time for the purpose of enabling such officer, or constable, or councillor to inspect, examine, and measure such vehicle, engine, or machine, and every or any part thereof and the load being transported thereon; and the person so in charge shall permit such inspection, examination, and measurement to be made accordingly; and no person shall obstruct such officer, constable, or councillor in or about making such inspection, examination, or measurement.

7. The owner or owners of any wagons, timber-wagons, junkers, or carts engaged in heavy traffic shall cause his or their names and addresses to be painted on the offside in plain and distinct lettering; each wagon, timber-wagon, junker, or cart to be distinguished by a consecutive number or letter.

8. Notwithstanding any fee paid by the owner or owners of any traction-engine or vehicle engaged in heavy traffic, where such traffic has in any instance done any special damage to any road or roads within the borough, the owner or owners of such traction-engine or vehicle causing such special damage to be done shall refund to the Council the full cost of repairing the said road or roads where such special damage was caused.

The above by-law was made by the Taumarunui Borough Council by special order passed and adopted at a special meeting held for that purpose on the 15th day of January, 1912, and confirmed on the 20th day of February, 1912, and ordered to come into force on the 1st day of March, 1912.
