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 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, the provisions of the said section shall have effect:

And whereas by section one hundred and twenty of the said Act it is also, inter alia, enacted that the Governor may, by Warrant under his hand publicly notified and gazetted, direct that any bridge already constructed, or which may hereafter be constructed, over or across any river or arm of the sea respectively shall, from and after a date to be fixed in such Warrant, be under the exclusive care, control, and management of such local authority as shall be mentioned in that behalf in such Warrant; and may by any such Warrant as aforesaid fix and determine whether all or any, and, if so, what part, of the cost, whether theretofore incurred or thereafter to be incurred, of maintaining, repairing, improving, or reconstructing any such bridge is to be provided and paid by any local authority or local authorities; and may by any such Warrant as aforesaid direct how, when, and to whom any such payment is to be made:

And whereas by a deed dated the first day of August, one thousand nine hundred and thirteen, made between the Waipawa County Council, the Waipukurau County Council and the Waipukurau Borough Council (hereinafter referred to as “the said deed”), it was agreed that the Waipawa County Council should construct the bridges over the Makaretu and Tuki Tuki Rivers described in the Schedule hereto, together with approaches thereto (hereinafter referred to as “the said works”), and that the cost thereof, including the cost of supervision, preparing plans and specifications, and estimates, and all other costs and expenses incidental thereto or connected therewith, less such contribution as may be made thereto by the Government of New Zealand, should be paid in the following proportions—viz., the Waipawa County Council to pay 50 per cent., the Waipukurau County Council to pay 25 per cent., and the Waipukurau Borough Council to pay 25 per cent. of such cost respectively; and it was also agreed in the said deed that the future cost of maintaining the said bridges should be paid in the same proportions:

And whereas the Waipawa County Council, the local authority proposing to construct the said works, 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 said works described in the Schedule hereto, and to apportion the cost of the said works and also of the maintenance thereof between the said local authorities in accordance with the provisions of the said deed:

And whereas no objections to the proposals have been sent to the Governor by any of the parties to the said deed:

And whereas the Governor is of opinion that the said works should be done and the cost of maintenance thereof be apportioned as aforesaid, and it is expedient to make provision under the said Act for the purposes 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 Council of the County of Waipawa to execute the said works; and I do hereby declare that the cost thereof, less such contribution as may be made thereto by the Government of New Zealand, shall be borne and paid by the Waipawa County Council, the Waipukurau County Council, and the Waipukurau Borough Council, as and in the proportions hereinbefore set forth:

And in further pursuance and exercise of the aforesaid powers and authorities, I do hereby direct that, upon the completion of the said works, the said bridges shall, from and after the date of such completion, be under the exclusive care, control, and management of the Waipawa County Council; and I do also hereby fix and determine that the cost of maintaining, repairing, improving, or reconstructing the said bridges respectively shall be borne and paid by the said local authorities as and in the proportions hereinbefore set forth:

And I do hereby also further direct that any contribution hereby required to be made as aforesaid by the Waipukurau County Council and the Waipukurau Borough Council respectively shall be paid from time to time out of the funds of the said Councils respectively, within a period of one month after demand in writing made by or on behalf of the Waipawa County Council, and all such payments shall be made from time to time to the Clerk of the Waipawa County Council for and on account of such Councils.
