Warrant authorizing the Minister of Public Works to construct a Bridge over the Waikato River at Ngaruawahia, 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 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 provision of the said section shall have effect:

And whereas by the said section it is also provided that the term “local authority” includes the Minister of Public Works in respect of the construction of a bridge by His Majesty on a Government road:

And whereas the Minister of Public Works has given notice and taken the steps required by the said Act, and has made application to the Governor to authorize the construction by the said Minister of the bridge mentioned in the Schedule hereto (being a bridge to be constructed on a Government road), and hereinafter referred to as “the said bridge,” and to apportion one-half of the cost of constructing and establishing the said bridge between the Waikato, Waipa, and Raglan County Councils and the Ngaruawahia Town Board:

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

And whereas a Commissioner was appointed, and an inquiry was duly held in the manner provided by the said Act in respect of the said bridge, and in respect also to the apportionment of the cost of constructing the said bridge:

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 Minister of Public Works to execute the work; and I do hereby declare that one-half of the cost thereof shall be borne by the local authorities hereinafter mentioned in the following proportions—namely, the Waikato County Council to pay fifty per centum, the Ngaruawahia Town Board to pay thirty-five per centum, the Waipa County Council to pay ten per centum, and the Raglan County Council to pay five per centum of such half-cost respectively; and I do hereby further direct that any contributions hereby required to be made as aforesaid by the said Waikato, Waipa, and Raglan County Councils and the Ngaruawahia Town Board respectively shall be paid from time to time out of the funds of the said County Councils and Town Board within a period of thirty days after demand in writing made by or on behalf of the Minister of Public Works, and all such payments shall be made to the credit of the Public Account, and bank receipts sent to the Minister of Public Works at Wellington.
