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 provisions of the said section shall have effect:

And whereas the Heathcote 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 mentioned in the Schedule hereto, and hereinafter referred to as “the said bridge,” and to apportion the cost of constructing and establishing the said bridge between the said Council and the Waimairi County Council:

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 to 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:
