LIVERPOOL, Governor.

WHEREAS by section one hundred and nine of the Public Works Act, 1908 (hereinafter termed “the said Act”), it is provided that in any case where a road in one district is largely used by or for the purpose of traffic to or from any other district or districts, and affords access to or from such districts, and the Governor is of opinion that it is equitable that the latter district or districts should contribute towards the cost of construction or maintaining the whole or any portion of such road in the former district, the Governor may from time to time apportion the cost of constructing or maintaining the whole or any portion of such road among the local authorities of the respective districts as he thinks fit; and for that purpose, and to enable effect to be given thereto, the provisions of section one hundred and nineteen thereof shall, mutatis mutandis, apply in the case of the construction or reconstruction of the road, and the provisions of section one hundred and twenty in the case of the maintenance of the road: And whereas it is provided in the said section one hundred and nine that the word “road” in that section includes, in the case of a borough, a street or other thoroughfare:

And whereas a dispute has arisen between the local authorities hereinafter mentioned on the question of the maintenance of the portions of roads hereinafter mentioned: And whereas by the said section one hundred and twenty it is, inter alia, provided that the Governor may, with a view of determining what proportion (if any) of the cost of maintaining any work should be borne by any local authority, direct any Magistrate or other person to be a Commissioner to inquire into and report to him upon any matter which he shall deem necessary to enable him to determine any such question as aforesaid:

And whereas a Commissioner was appointed for the purpose aforesaid and an inquiry was duly held:

And whereas such Commissioner did report to the Governor, after due inquiry, his opinion thereon:

And whereas the Governor is of opinion that it is equitable that the cost of maintaining the portions of roads mentioned in the Schedule hereto should be provided and paid in the manner and in the proportion 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 power and authority vested in me by the said Act, do hereby direct that from and after the date of this Warrant the cost of maintaining the portions of roads described in the Schedule hereto shall be borne by the Okato Road Board, the Egmont County Council, and the Taranaki County Council in the following proportions—viz., the Okato Road Board shall pay eighty per cent., the Egmont County Council fifteen per cent., and the Taranaki County Council five per cent. of such cost respectively. And I do hereby direct that any contribution hereby required to be made as aforesaid by the Egmont and Taranaki County Councils shall be paid from time to time out of the funds of the said Councils within a period of thirty days after demand in writing made by or on behalf of the said Board, and such payments shall be made from time to time to the Clerk of the said Board for and on account of such County Councils.
