An Act to authorise the Sale by the Thames Harbour Board of a Small Portion of its Foreshore Endowment at Thames to the Thames Borough Council for the Purposes of a Recreation-ground and a Road.

Preamble.

WHEREAS the land described in the Schedule hereto is, inter alia, vested in the Thames Harbour Board, in pursuance and by virtue of “The Thames Harbour Board Act, 1878,” in trust, for the improvement and maintenance of the harbour of the Port of Thames: And whereas the taking by Proclamation of certain other parts of the said Board’s endowment at Thames for the purpose of the Thames-Waikato Railway severed the land described in the Schedule hereto from the other parts of the said Board’s endowments: And whereas, the land so severed being in close proximity to the Thames Railway-station, the Council of the Borough of Thames is desirous of acquiring such piece of land for the purposes of a road and recreation ground, and thereby improving and ornamenting the approach to the said railway-station;

Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—
