WALTON (SUFFOLK).
|
| |
Provisional Order of the Board of Trade for the Construction, Maintenance, and Regulation of a Pier at Walton in the County of Suffolk.
|
| |
Preamble.
|
| |
Whereas, under The General Pier and Harbour Act, 1861, and The General Pier and Harbour Act, 1861, Amendment Act, the promoters of the Walton (Suffolk) Pier 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 that the construction of a pier at Walton in Suffolk would be of great public and local advantage, 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 execution of the works, and for the levying of rates and tolls not exceeding those mentioned in the Schedule hereto annexed, and also for the incorporation of a company:
|
| |
And whereas the estimated expenditure upon the proposed works is one thousand eight hundred pounds, and no more:
|
| |
And whereas the promoters 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 The General Pier and Harbour Acts, 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—
