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 his 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 provisions of the said section shall have effect :

And whereas the Raglan 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 and approaches 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 Waikato County Council :

And whereas it has been agreed by and between the Raglan County Council and the Waikato County Council that the Raglan County Council shall pay sixty-nine per centum and the Waikato County Council thirty-one per centum respectively towards the cost of the construction of the said work :

And whereas no objection has been made by the other local authority which it is proposed should contribute to the cost of the said work :

And whereas I am of opinion that the said work should be done, and that 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, Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and in exercise of the powers vested in me by the said Act, and all other powers and authorities in anywise enabling me in this behalf, do hereby authorize the Raglan County Council to execute the said work: 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 by the Raglan County Council and the Waikato County Council in the following proportions—viz., the Raglan County Council to bear sixty-nine per centum and the Waikato County Council thirty-one per centum of such cost respectively.

And I do hereby further direct that any contribution hereby required to be made as aforesaid by the Waikato County Council shall be paid from time to time, in the proportion hereinbefore prescribed, out of the funds of the said Council, within a period of one month after demand in writing made by or on behalf of the Raglan County Council; and all such payments shall be made from time to time to the Clerk of the Raglan County Council for and on behalf of the Waikato County Council.
