Sunk Island Roads.
Repeal in part and amendment of 15 & 16 Vict. c. 45. (Sunk Island Roads, &c.)
|
7. Whereas, under the provisions of an Act of the session held in the fifteenth and sixteenth years of Her present Majesty’s reign, chapter forty-five (in this Act referred to as the Sunk Island Roads Act, 1852), the roads situated in the parishes of Sunk Island, Ottringham, and Patrington (all in the east riding of the county of York), and more particularly described in the Second Schedule to this Act, have been made or improved and maintained as turnpike roads under the management of the Commissioners of Woods and other persons appointed by the said Commissioners to act with them as trustees for the execution of the said Act.
|
|
| |
And whereas it is expedient to put an end to the management and maintenance of the said roads by such trustees, and to the levying of tolls thereon, and to provide for the management and maintenance of the said roads by the inhabitants of the parishes within which they are respectively situate:
|
|
| |
And whereas the said Act authorised certain tonnage rates or dues to be taken in respect of vessels using Her Majesty’s quays and wharves at Stone Creek in Sunk Island aforesaid, and it is expedient to provide for their application as part of the general land revenues of the Crown:
|
|
| |
Be it therefore enacted as follows:—
|
|
| |
(1.) On and after the first day of October one thousand eight hundred and eighty-five, the Sunk Island Roads Act, 1852, shall be repealed, with the exception of sections twelve to fifteen (both included), and of sections eighteen and nineteen, and without prejudice to anything done or suffered under the said Act before that day or to any proceeding or cause of proceeding then pending or existing.
|
|
| |
31 & 32 Vict. c. 99.
|
|
| |
(2.) The trustees for the execution of the said Act shall after payment and satisfaction of their debts and liabilities, and after payment of compensation to their clerk subject to the provisions of section seven of the Annual Turnpike Acts Continuance Act, 1868, pay any moneys remaining in their hands to the surveyor of highways of the parish of Sunk Island, to be by him applied in and towards the repair and maintenance of those highways.
|
|
| |
41 & 42 Vict. c. 77.
|
|
| |
(3.) On and after the said first day of October one thousand eight hundred and eighty-five the several roads or portions of roads described in the Second Schedule to this Act shall become highways repairable by the inhabitants of the several parishes within which they are respectively situate, and shall be managed and maintained accordingly. Provided that each such road or portion shall be a main road within the meaning of the Highways and Locomotives (Amendment) Act, 1878, and one half of the expenses incurred by the highway authority in the maintenance thereof shall, in conformity with and subject to the provisions of the last-mentioned Act, be repaid to the highway authority by the county authority.
|
|
| |
(4.) On and after the said first day of October one thousand eight hundred and eighty-five, all sums received by the Commissioners of Woods in respect of vessels using or remaining at Her Majesty’s quays, wharves, landing places, or works at Stone Creek or otherwise under the unrepealed portion of the Sunk Island Roads Act, 1852, shall be from time to time carried to and dealt with as part of the income of the general land revenues of the Crown; but any balance of such sums received before and being on the said first day of October in the hands of the treasurer or collector appointed by the trustees for the execution of the said Act shall be applied as part of the funds of the said trustees.
