|
| |
Preamble.
|
| |
Whereas, under The General Pier and Harbour Act, 1861, and The General Pier Harbour Act, 1861, Amendment Act, the promoters of the Rhyl Promenade Pier Company Limited made application by a Memorial to the Lords of the Committee of Her Majesty’s Most Honourable Privy Council appointed for the consideration of matters relating to Trade and Foreign Plantations, herein-after called the Board of Trade, setting forth the necessity of a pier of Rhyl, in the county of Flint, and praying their Lordships to approve of the project thus submitted, and to grant a Provisional Order for its execution, containing powers and privileges for the complete execution of the works, and for the levying of rates and tolls not exceeding those herein-after specified:
|
| |
And whereas the estimated expenditure on the proposed works is thirteen thousand pounds and no more:
|
| |
And whereas the promoters have published the advertisements and deposited the documents which by the last-mentioned Act they were required to publish and deposit:
|
| |
And whereas the Board of Trade, after making such inquiries as they have thought expedient, have settled this present Provisional Order, and intend to cause a Bill to be introduced into Parliament for the purpose of obtaining an Act for the confirmation of this Provisional Order (until which confirmation this Provisional Order will not be of any validity or force whatever):
|
| |
Now, therefore, the Board of Trade do by this their Provisional Order in pursuance of The General Pier and Harbour Act, 1861, and The General Pier and Harbour Act, 1861, Amendment Act, and by virtue and in exercise of the powers thereby respectively in them vested, and of every other power enabling them in this behalf, order-

4. Subject to the provisions of this Order, and subject also to such alterations, if any, in the deposited plans as the Board of Trade may require from time to time before the completion of the works in order to prevent injury to navigation, the Company may, on the lands taken by them under this Order, and in the lines and according to the levels and within the limits of deviation shown on the deposited plans and sections, make and maintain the works shown on the deposited plans.
