Public Trust Office, Wellington, 6th January, 1941. E. O. HALES, Public Trustee.

Hutt Road By-Laws.

WHEREAS by section 9 of the Main Highways Act, 1922 (hereinafter called “ the said Act ”), the powers, rights, duties, and liabilities vested in or imposed on the Governor-General or Minister of Public Works (in the case of Government Roads), or vested in or imposed on any local authority (in the case of highways other than Government roads), are, in the case of main highways, transferred to and vested in or imposed on the Main Highways Board (hereinafter called “ the said Board ”):

And whereas the road hereinafter referred to is a main highway, and it is desirable that by-laws should be made in respect thereof:

Now, therefore, the said Board, acting by authority of the said Act and of the Public Works Act, 1928, and of all other powers in anywise enabling it in this behalf, doth hereby make the following by-laws.

BY-LAWS.

INTERPRETATION.

(1) These by-laws may be cited as “ The Hutt Road Stock Traffic By-Laws, 1941.”

(2) These by-laws shall come into force on the 15th day of January, 1941.

(3) These by-laws shall apply to the Masterton-Wellington State Highway between the Wellington City Boundary and the Petone Borough Boundary, this portion of highway being more generally known as the Hutt Road.

(4) In these by-laws, unless inconsistent with the context,—

“ Engineer ” means the Engineer of the Public Works Department for the time being a member of the No. 9 District Highways Council.

“ Authorized Person ” means and includes “ Engineer ” as hereinbefore defined, and any Traffic Inspector or Overseer in charge of any portion of the said main highway to which these by-laws apply.

“ Cattle ” includes any bull, cow, ox, steer, heifer, or calf.

“ Sheep ” includes any ram, ewe, wether, or lamb.

“ The said highway ” means the road described in sub-clause (3) of this clause.

PROHIBITION OF STOCK TRAFFIC.

(1) No person shall drive any horse, ass, mule, goat, sheep, ox, or other cattle (other than any cow in milk) not in harness or yoke upon or along the Hutt Road between the hours of 7 a.m. and midnight on the same day except with the prior permission in writing of the Main Highways Board or a Transport Department Inspector, and then only in accordance in all respects with any condition imposed in granting such permission.

(2) No person in charge of any animal on the Hutt Road shall permit or suffer the same to loiter on the said road.

(3) If any person is charged with an offence under sub-clause (1) of this clause, it shall be a sufficient defence to the charge if such person proves that the cattle in question were being driven to or from some property having a frontage on or entrance from the said highway and to which no other reasonable route was available.

ASCERTAINMENT OF OFFENDERS.

(1) Any authorized person or police officer may require any person driving, or causing or permitting to be driven, or allowing cattle along or upon the said highway, to supply on demand information as to his name and address and the name and address of the owner of the cattle, together with particulars relating to the place from which the cattle were driven, their intended destination, the route by which they travelled, and any other information which may be required by such authorized person or police officer in the exercise of his duties.

(2) If any person driving, or causing or permitting to be driven, or allowing cattle along or upon the said highway, shall refuse to give any of the information required to be given by him in pursuance of these by-laws, or shall give false information, or shall withhold information so as to create a false impression, he shall be guilty of an offence.

(3) Any other person who, on the request of any authorized person or police officer, shall fail, when required, to give information which is in the power of such person to give, and which relates to any breach or alleged breach of these by-laws, shall be guilty of an offence.

OFFENCES AND PENALTY.

(1) Every person who does, or causes or procures to be done, anything contrary to or otherwise than is provided by these by-laws, or who shall omit anything therein required to be done by him, shall be guilty of an offence.

(2) Every person guilty of an offence against these by-laws shall be liable for each such offence to a fine not exceeding £10 (ten pounds).

The foregoing by-laws were made by a resolution duly passed at a meeting of the Main Highways Board held at Wellington on the 18th day of December, 1940.

In witness whereof the common seal of the Main Highways Board is hereunto affixed, this 20th day of December, 1940, in the presence of—

J. WOOD, Chairman.
J. W. SCOTT, Member.

(M.H. 62/33/9.)

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
