Warrant authorizing the Mangere Road Board to construct a Bridge and Approaches thereto over the Manukau Harbour, and apportioning the Cost.

LIVERPOOL, 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 Mangere Road Board 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 shown on the plan marked P.W.D. 32468, deposited in the office of the Minister of Public Works, and hereinafter referred to as "the said work," and to apportion the cost of constructing the said work between the said Board and certain other local authorities:

And whereas it is also provided in the said Act that the Governor (with the view of determining whether or not the said 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 said work) may direct any Magistrate or other person to be a Commissioner to inquire into and report to him on the matter:

And whereas it is also provided by the said section one hundred and nineteen, as amended by section four of the Public Works Amendment Act, 1908, that if the Governor is of opinion that the said work should be done, he may by Warrant under his hand, publicly notified and gazetted, authorize any local authority to execute such work, either as originally proposed or with such alterations as are agreed on between the local authorities concerned or as are recommended by the Commissioner:

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 a bridge and approaches as described in the Schedule hereto should be constructed, and it is expedient to make provision under the said Act for the purpose and in the manner hereinafter set forth:

Now, therefore, I, Arthur William de Brito Savile, Earl of Liverpool, the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and 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 Mangere Road Board to execute the said work: And I do hereby declare that the cost thereof, not exceeding £16,650, less such contributions (if any) as may be made thereto by the Government of New Zealand shall be borne by the Mangere Road Board, the Onehunga Borough Council, the Auckland City Council, and the Otahuhu Borough Council, in the following proportions, viz.—the Mangere Road Board shall pay sixty per centum, the Onehunga Borough Council twenty-five per centum, the Auckland City Council ten per centum, and the Otahuhu Borough Council five per centum of such cost less the Government contribution respectively:

And I do hereby further declare that if the said work costs more than £16,650 to complete, including the contributions, if any, made by the said Government, then the whole of the expenditure incurred in excess of that sum shall be borne by the Mangere Road Board alone:

And I do hereby further direct that any contribution hereby required to be made as aforesaid by the said Councils shall be paid out of the funds of the said Councils within a period of one month after demand in writing made by or on behalf of the Mangere Road Board ; and such payments shall be made to the Clerk of the Mangere Road Board for and on behalf of the said Councils.

SCHEDULE.

THAT bridge over the Manukau Harbour, together with the approaches thereto, between the Onehunga Borough and the Mangere Road District, known as the New Mangere Bridge; as the said bridge and approaches are more particularly delineated on the plan marked P.W.D. 33416, deposited in the office of the Minister of Public Works, at Wellington, in the Wellington Provincial District.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this twenty-sixth day of June, one thousand nine hundred and thirteen.
