Road District.

LIVERPOOL, Governor-General

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 district, and the Governor-General is of opinion
that it is equitable that the latter district or districts should
contribute towards the cost of constructing or maintaining
the whole or any portion of such road in the former district,
the Governor-General 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 a dispute has arisen between the local autho-
rities affected on the question of the maintenance of the
road and portions of roads hereinafter mentioned :

And whereas by the said section one hundred and twenty
it is, inter alia, provided that the Governor-General may,
with a view of determining what proportion (if any) of the
cost of maintaining, repairing, improving, or reconstructing
any work should be borne by the 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-
General, after due inquiry, his opinion thereon :

And whereas the Governor-General is of opinion that it
is equitable that the cost of maintaining, repairing, improving,
or reconstructing the road and portion of roads mentioned in
the Schedule hereto, but excluding all expense incurred in
maintaining, repairing, improving, or reconstructing footpaths
and kerbing and channelling on the said road and portions
of road, 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-General 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, repair-
ing, improving, or reconstructing the road and portions of
roads described in the Schedule hereto, but excluding all
expense incurred in maintaining, repairing, improving, or
reconstructing footpaths and kerbing and channelling on the
said road and portions of road, shall be provided and paid
by the local authorities hereinafter mentioned in the following
proportions—viz., the Avondale Road Board shall pay seventy
per centum, the Auckland City Council fifteen per centum,
the Waitemata County Council seven and one-half per centum,
the New Lynn Town Board five per centum, and the Mount
Albert Borough Council two and one-half per centum of such

bution hereby required to be made as aforesaid by the Auck-
land City Council, the Waitemata County Council, the New

shall be paid from time to time out of the funds of the said
Councils and Town Board within a period of thirty days

time to the Clerk of the Avondale Road Board for and on

Warrant authorizing the Rangitikei County Council to construct
an Extension of a Bridge over the Rangitikei River at One-
puhi, including an Approach Road at the Eastern End, 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 and benefit to the whole
or any considerable portion of the inhabitants of an ad-
jacent district as well as to the inhabitants of its own district,
and where it is, in the opinion of such local authority, reason-
able 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
should have effect :

And whereas the Rangitikei 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 an extension of a bridge over the Rangitikei
River at Onepuhi, including an approach road at the eastern
end, mentioned in the Schedule hereto, and hereinafter re-
ferred to as “the said work,” and to apportion the cost of
constructing and establishing the said work among the said
Council and certain other local authorities :

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 autho-
rity, or what local authority should do the work) may direct
any Magistrate or other person to be a Commissioner to in-
quire into and report to him on the matter :

And whereas the Commission was appointed, and an in-
quiry was duly held, in the manner provided by the said Act,
in respect to the said work, and in respect also to the ap-
portionment 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 it is considered expedient that the said 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 Rangitikei County Council to execute the said work ;
and I do hereby declare that the cost thereof, less such con-
tribution as may be made thereto by the Government of New
Zealand, shall be borne by the local authorities hereinafter
mentioned in the following proportions—namely, the Rangi-
tikei County Council shall bear forty per centum, the Marton
Borough Council ten per centum, and the Oroua County
Council fifty per centum of such cost respectively; and I
do hereby further direct that any contribution hereby re-
quired to be made as aforesaid by the Marton Borough Coun-
