Regulations for Supplementing Local Road Boards, &c.

THE following Regulations for supplementing Local Road Boards and Works carried out by Private Subscriptions and Rates, having been approved by the General Road Board, are now published for general information:—

1. Any Local Board desirous of availing itself, of the money or subsidy voted by the Provincial Council of the Province of Otago must give notice in writing, to that effect to the Superintendent of the said Province, and state approximately the amount it is estimated will be raised.

2. The money or subsidy allowed to any such Local Road Board will be at the rate of two pounds for every one pound raised by a rate not exceeding one shilling in the pound or one shilling an acre.

3. Upon the Treasurer of any Local Board, or other authorised person, paying from time to time to the Provincial Treasury of Otago the amounts raised by rates by such Board, credit will be given for it, together with two pounds additional for every one pound paid into the Road Board paying such money, but when rates are expended without being paid into the Treasury, credit will be given to the Local Board expending such money for a sum equal to two pounds for every one expended, upon satisfactory proof being afforded of such expenditure.

4. All payments will be made on vouchers signed by two members of the Local Board paying such money, and the same must be countersigned by the Treasurer of the Board.

5. Every payment into the said Treasury by a Local Board must be of a sum not less than twenty (20) pounds, and be accompanied by a statutory declaration that the money was raised by rates collected.

6. The Government shall have the right to examine all books, accounts, and other documents, of asking for verified copies or statements of the same, of inspecting works, and, if deemed necessary, of approving or disapproving of the same, but, there will be no desire to interfere with the exercise of local control except when eminently necessary.

In all cases, returns of expenditure and of the works executed must be furnished to the said Government immediately after the completion of such works, or sooner, from time to time as the said Government may require.
