An Act to authorize the vesting in a Board of Conservators of certain Lands in the Province of Otago in Trust for conserving the Banks of the Clutha River, and improving the Navigation thereof.

Preamble.

WHEREAS by a resolution of the Provincial Council of the Province of Otago, bearing date the fourth day of May, one thousand eight hundred and seventy, purporting to be passed under the authority of section sixty-two of “The Otago Waste Lands Act, 1866,” the said Council recommended that the lands described in the Schedule hereto should be reserved for the purpose of erecting and maintaining works to be constructed and maintained by the Board of Conservators of the District of the Clutha River, when constituted under “The Hawke’s Bay and Marlborough Rivers Act, 1868:” And whereas, in pursuance of such resolution, the Deputy Superintendent of the Province of Otago did, by notice under his hand dated the eleventh day of July, one thousand eight hundred and seventy, and published in the Otago Provincial Government Gazette on the twenty-seventh day of July, one thousand eight hundred and seventy, declare that he had made and dedicated the said lands described in the said Schedule hereto for the purpose above mentioned: And whereas it is expedient that the said lands should be vested in a Board of Conservators:

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

1 Short Title.

The Short Title of this Act shall be “The Clutha River Trust Reserves Act, 1874.”

2 When Board instituted Board, shall hold lands in trust.

As soon as the Superintendent and Provincial Council of the Province of Otago shall have passed an Ordinance constituting a Board of Conservators for the District of Clutha River, the said Board of Conservators shall hold the lands described in the Schedule hereto upon trust for such purposes as shall be specified in the Ordinance aforesaid.

3 If land subject to lease, &c., such lease &c. not to be affected.

If any lands reserved under this Act are at the time of the reservation thereof subject to any license or lease for pastoral or other purposes, such lands shall be dealt with under “The Otago Waste Lands Act, 1872,” and any Act amending the same, subject to such license or lease; and such license or lease shall not be affected thereby, but the rents license fees or other moneys payable under or in respect of such license or lease shall be paid to the said Board of Conservators in such manner as may be specified in the Ordinance constituting the said Board.

4 Land may be sold, and moneys invested.

It shall be lawful for the Superintendent of the said province, on the recommendation of the Provincial Council of the said province, by Proclamation, to declare that any such lands set aside under this Act as endowments aforesaid shall be opened for sale or lease under any provisions of “The Otago Waste Lands Act, 1872,” and any other Acts amending the same, or for sale or lease under any provisions of “The Gold Fields Act, 1866,” and any other Acts amending the same, and from and after the time fixed for the purpose in such Proclamation such lands may be sold or leased accordingly: Provided always that all moneys received from the sale or lease of any such lands shall be paid and accounted for by the Receiver of Land Revenue to two or more trustees appointed by the Superintendent of the province, who shall invest such moneys so received in Provincial or General Government securities, in trust for the purposes for which the land so sold had been set apart previous to sale; and the Superintendent may from time to time remove such trustees, and appoint others in the place of such trustees so removed, or who die or resign their trust.
