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 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 in exercise of the powers vested in me by the said Act, and of all other powers and authorities in any-wise enabling me in this behalf, do hereby authorize the Karaka Road Board to execute the said work; and, subject to the direction hereinafter mentioned, I do hereby declare that the cost thereof, less such contribution as may be made thereto by the Government of New Zealand, and less the contribution of one thousand pounds to be made by the Karaka Land Company (Limited), shall be borne by the Karaka Road Board, the Papakura Town Board, and the Franklin County Council in the following proportions—viz., the Karaka Road Board to bear sixty per centum, the Papakura Town Board to bear thirty per centum, and the Franklin County Council to bear ten per centum of such cost respectively, provided that the Papakura Town Board shall not be required to pay as its proportion of the cost of the work any sum which when raised as a loan will require a greater payment than fifty pounds per annum in connection therewith, and if the proportion so payable by the Papakura Town Board does not amount to thirty per centum of the cost of the work as hereinbefore provided, then the balance thereof shall be paid by the Karaka Road Board.

And I do hereby further direct that, subject to the next succeeding paragraph hereof, any contribution hereby required to be made as aforesaid by the Papakura Town Board and the Franklin County Council shall be paid from time to time respectively as the work proceeds, in the proportions hereinbefore prescribed, out of the funds of the said Board or Council, within a period of one month after demand in writing made by or on behalf of the Karaka Road Board, and all such payments for and on account of such Board and Council shall be made to the Clerk of the Karaka Road Board.

And I do also hereby further direct that the proportion of cost payable by the Franklin County Council and the Papakura Town Board respectively shall not be recoverable by the Karaka Road Board until such Road Board has obtained a clear title in the name of His Majesty to the whole of the road on the line of which the said work is to be constructed between the sites of the said Hingaia and Whangamaiare Bridges, and has formed such road for vehicular traffic to the satisfaction of the District Engineer of the Public Works Department at Auckland.
