Placing Waiwakaiho River and Mangamahoe Stream under Control of New Plymouth Borough Council.—(H.H. 105.)

BLEDISLOE, Governor-General.

WHEREAS by section sixty-two of the Health Act, 1920, it is provided that the Governor-General may, if he thinks fit, in the interests of public health, by notice in the Gazette, place any specified watercourse, stream, lake, or other source of water-supply, or any specified portion thereof, under the control of any local authority for the purpose of preventing the pollution thereof, notwithstanding that it may not be within the district of that local authority or on land belonging to that local authority :

And whereas the New Plymouth Borough Council is desirous of obtaining control of portion of the Waiwakaiho River from which the borough water-supply is drawn, in order more effectively to control sources of pollution of such supply :

And whereas a former notice signed on the fifteenth day of December, one thousand nine hundred and thirty, and published in the Gazette on the ninth day of January, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-one, is deemed to be insufficient for such purpose :

Now, therefore, I, Charles, Baron Bledisloe, Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority conferred on me by section sixty-two of the Health Act, 1920, do hereby revoke the former notice as aforesaid, and do by this notice place the Waiwakaiho River and Mangamahoe Stream and all tributaries thereof respectively from the junction of the said Waiwakaiho River and Mangamahoe Stream to the respective sources of that river and stream and the respective sources of all tributaries thereof respectively under the control of the New Plymouth Borough Council for the purpose of preventing the pollution thereof.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor-General, this 16th day of February, 1931.

A. J. STALLWORTHY, Minister of Health.
