LIVERPOOL, Governor-General.

That the said lands shall be leased under and subject to the provisions of the said Act and the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Act, 1915:

That, for the purposes of section one hundred and twenty-seven of the Land Act, 1908, the said lands shall be deemed to be “heavy-bush land”:

That after the first half-year’s rent has been paid by the selector, the further instalments of rent payable by him for a period of four years shall not be demanded; provided that if at any time during the first five years of his occupancy the selector disposes of his interest in the land, the rent so conceded shall be paid by him in full, and thereupon the Land Board may remit such instalments of rent payable by the incoming tenant, not exceeding in the aggregate the amount of rent previously conceded to the selector, as the Board thinks fit.

Warrant authorizing the Masterton County Council to construct a Bridge over the Kahumangi Stream on the Masterton-Waimata Road, and apportioning the Cost.

LIVERPOOL, Governor-General.

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 Masterton County Council has given notice and taken the steps required by the said Act, and has made application to the Governor-General to authorize the construction of the bridge described 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 Masterton County Council and the Castlepoint County Council:

And whereas it is also provided in the said Act that the Governor-General (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 work, and in respect also to the apportionment of the cost of constructing the said work:

And whereas such Commissioner did report to the Governor-General, 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-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers vested in me by the said Act, and of all other powers and authorities in anywise enabling me in this behalf, do hereby authorize the Masterton 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 Masterton County Council and the Castlepoint County Council in the following proportions—viz., the Masterton County Council to bear seven-eighths and the Castlepoint County Council to bear one-eighth of such cost respectively.

And I do hereby further direct that any contribution hereby required to be made as aforesaid by the Castlepoint County Council shall be paid from time to time 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 Masterton County Council, and all such payments for and on account of the Castlepoint County Council shall be made to the Clerk of the Masterton County Council.
