✨ Public Works Regulations and Deceased Estates

The promoters of any undertaking to which money may be advanced shall, before the issue of any loan to them, give to the Minister a valid security, including a lien or mortgage to cover the amount of loan over the works and property proposed to be constructed; and all deeds necessary shall be prepared and completed at the expense of the promoters.
No money shall be paid towards the construction of any water-race, dam or reservoir until the promoters of the same shall have duly registered themselves under the Mining Companies’ Limited Liability Act or the Joint Stock Companies Act.
The rate of interest to be paid by the promoters of any undertaking coming under these Regulations shall be seven pounds per centum per annum, payable quarterly from the date of the advance.
The capital sum borrowed shall be repaid out of the profits of the undertaking in the same proportion as the amount of money advanced by the Government bears to the paid-up capital of the Company, or in such other proportion as the Minister may determine.
In the foregoing, the term "Minister" shall mean the Minister for Public Works or the Minister acting for him for the time being; and the terms "Engineer-in-Chief," "Assistant Engineer-in-Chief," and "District Engineer," shall mean the officers appointed under those designations by the said Minister.
